Pet Sitting in South Bend

“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all different kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Currently my family owns two huskies, a German Shepherd/Border Collie Mix, and a German Shepherd/Pit Mix! Beyond my own pups, I regularly dog sit for six amazing families and truly treat each pet like they’re part of my own pack. I’ve also had the joy of caring for horses, cows, goats, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals and their unique needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for! I’m starting a fully online master’s program in social work, which means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a clients home, my top priority is making sure that your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved in their own space. I follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep their daily routine consistent to reduce stress. I also respect your home as if it was my own- cleaning up after myself (and your pet!), keeping things tidy and making sure your pets feels at easy while you’re gone. I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

“Vita did a great job watching our cat, Pistachio while we were gone for two weeks. We got daily updates and videos that we looked forward to getting. Highly recommend Vita with your pets!”

About: Hi there, We’re Leigh & Luke — experienced, reliable, and animal-loving sitters. With 15+ years of combined experience in private homes as a nanny, household manager, newborn care specialist, and owner of a domestic staffing agency, I (Leigh) have had the joy of caring for more than just children—pets and entire households have always been a big part of my work. My partner Luke and I are calm, patient, and easygoing — animals naturally seem drawn to us (neighborhood cats often join us on our evening walks!). We deeply understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Luke has a true green thumb—at one point, he cared for his own 28 thriving houseplants—and he’s tended to some truly beautiful gardens. Together, we take great pride in being respectful, responsible, and thoughtful guests in every home we enter. In addition to his love of nature, Luke is a creative professional who owns a production company and works as a documentary filmmaker. We work remotely and have flexible schedules, allowing us to commit to sits across the U.S. but preferably in the PNW and California. Since we travel without children or pets, we can easily adapt to new environments and give your pets our full attention. With years of experience caring for private homes, I understand the importance of arriving with a calm, grounded presence—something pets instinctively respond to. We genuinely love connecting with new people and their animals, and we’re fully vetted and background checked through TrustedHousesitters. It would be an honor to care for your home and your beloved pets with the same attention and affection we’d give our own.

I’m currently a college student just looking to take care of some fur-babies in my free time. I am a college golfer but I do have a lot of free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also willing to make time on weekends. I will treat the dog like it is my own child, I think our pets are more than just animals, they are our family as well.

“April was absolutely WONDERFUL! She took such great care of our feline fur babies. So much so that our youngest, Sushi, who had developed quite a bond with April (and we have the BEST pics to prove it) missed her terribly. Will DEF use her again, and we recommend that you do the same!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, lizards and tortises for about 20 years. Friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe their pets. I currently work from home. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I will be able to give them love and attention throughout the day! I take my dog on a walk once a day and I engage with my cats and play with them throughout the day. I take my dog on hikes with me.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life—caring for them isn’t just second nature, it’s something I truly love. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve spent years helping out neighbors by watching their pets while they were away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being a calm and comforting presence, I bring attentiveness and compassion to every pet I care for. Recently, I lost my soul dog, and while I’m not quite ready to adopt again, spending time with other people’s pets fills my heart in a way that’s hard to describe. I understand how much pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I gave my own. What sets me apart is my deep emotional connection to animals, my reliability, and my ability to pick up on each pet’s unique needs. I don’t just watch your pet—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am currently going to school full time at WSU completely online. Other than that, I am not working right now so this gives me the opportunity to have a lot of free time! I can complete my school work from anywhere with my laptop. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and creating a safe, loving space for them is something I take seriously. I live on 10 acres of private property, giving your dog plenty of room to explore in a peaceful, secure environment. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I care for each dog as if they were my own—offering calm companionship, routine, and individualized attention. I can easily accommodate crate-trained pups or provide a cozy space for rest, and I always follow your preferences to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“Megan was terrific! I was worried about leaving my bulldog and elderly cat for 10 days but Megan took such great care of them they didn't seem to miss me (which is a good thing). She checked on them twice per day, spending ample time to ensure all their needs were met, including daily grooming of my bulldog to keep his wrinkles healthy and giving my cat shots twice per week. Each day, she sent me updates with pictures which was great, and I returned home to happy, healthy pets. She even emptied the trash before my return, which was an unexpected bonus. Thanks, Megan! I will definitely use Megan again in the future.”
