About: I love hanging out with dogs and getting to know them. I love playing and walking with them and I have a lot of experience doing so. I have been dog sitting for about 4 years now for my families friends and I have taken care of elder dogs and puppies and dogs that have needed to take medication. I do have experience with 100+ pound dogs that pull on the leashes. If you do need me to walk a bigger dog, please tell me what the dog will react to so I can be prepared to walk them. If there are two bigger dogs, I will not book until I know if they are reactive to anything. I am also able to take care of other small animals like amphibians, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals. If you do have farm animals, I do require a meet and greet. i can always take care of your dog after 10am throughout the week and anytime on the weekends. I can also take your dog to a local park or path and walk then there! I will typically go to copus, central park, or east race but whatever is closest I will go to. If you have a recommended place for me to go, I will go there. This will typically take an hour and that includes the drive there and back. This service costs 40 dollars. At my own home, I make sure my pets have a very stimulating environment and I try to play with them as much as a can. I will do the same with your friends. I am also available to water plants, take in the mail, and do other house activities if I am doing a drop in visit only. Just let me know ahead or time or leave me a note, and I will make sure to get the chores done.

“Melissa is fantastic. My little anxious dog is new to drop in visits while I'm gone, but Melissa showed her exactly the patience and kindness she needed to get comfortable. Olive treats her like a great friend every time she sees her now! I'd recommend Melissa to anyone without hesitation.”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

About: I know I’d only want the best for my fur babies, so I plan to be that for your pets needs. I have many years of dog obedience classes with two different (sometimes opposite) dogs. I love getting to know the different needs of each dog. They are all individual. I’ve grown up with many animals. I’ve dog sat before and been expected to administer various kinds of medication. I am not a behavior expert. I do have experience dealing with difficult behaviors and will carry out any request you have for training that I am able. Training alignment is important to me. And less confusing for your fur baby I currently have one dog who is very well socialized. Play dates are an option. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am a teacher looking for summer work. I also work with dogs on the side. I have lots of experience working with all breeds of dogs. Each dog or pet has their own needs and personality. My own dogs need different feeding schedules and training. I know how to differentiate and listen to a pet’s needs.

About: I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away - I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and birds I work remotely for the most part so I'm flexible. I can work my other job at my pace and can ensure your fur baby has plenty of attention. My home has a fenced yard. I have a spare room if your animal like their space. I enjoy outside time if your animals likes walks.

“Jamie is awesome! She took great care of out little golden doodle, Julep!! She walked Julep for us 3 times in one long, Notre Dame football game day!! Jamie also took time to stop by and meet us before sitting for Julep the next day!! We will definitely hire Jamie again!!”

About: Hi! My name is Jacee. I’ve had the joy of growing up in a home with at least three dogs at any given time, so I’m very familiar with the care, attention, and love that our furry companions need. More recently, I’ve also started house-sitting for friends with cats, and it’s given me a deeper understanding of how to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their humans are away. Whether it's dogs or cats, I’m confident in my ability to provide the care and attention your fur baby deserves! Pet care fits into my routine in a really natural and enjoyable way. I work full time, but I’m able to step out during my lunch break to take a dog for a walk or spend time with a cat for some play, company, or feeding. On days when I work from home (which happens a few times a week), I have more flexibility and can offer longer visits or more frequent check-ins. I’m also available on weekends, which allows for even more dedicated time with your pet. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love fitting it into my day whenever possible! While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very comfortable and respectful when caring for pets in their own space. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed in their environment, and I treat every home I enter with the same care and professionalism I’d expect from someone looking after my own. I would be sure to follow any directions exactly!

“I can't recommend Kim enough. She obviously loves dogs is very reliable and kept me informed often.”

If pet owner lives close (within 5-10min) to my work I am able to let dogs out during my work lunch hour. I am also willing to be flexible as well if I have time in advance to try and work something out with my schedule at work! When I pet sit, I make sure dogs/cats have enough food water and toys. I enjoy playing with the animals as well as making sure I am doing the required tasks the owner has asked. I clean my cats litter box daily and when sitting for dogs I make sure I take dogs out multiple times or when Owener ask. I also love going on walks with dogs!

About: Your pet is welcome in my home! They will get lots of TLC, play time, feeding, walking & love. My house is small but live on 2 acres in the country. My yard is not fenced so I walk your pets on a leash & there are trails in the woods where they love to walk too. I also have a tie out if they dont do well on a leash & some are fine to free roam but they are never left unattended. I can take 2 small to medium dogs or 2 large or 1 giant dog. I will also transport your pet(s) to & from your home if needed. This will be an additional fee. I have been professionally petsitting for the past 17 years. References are supplied upon request. Any cancellation less than 7 days before stay begins will result in no refund provided.

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. My family recently got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

About: Hello, I’m Chloe! I was born and raised here in Indiana, and I would love to make some furry friends! I’ve grown up in a household with multiple cats, and more recently two family dogs. I also have two dogs and two cats of my own. I have many years of experience caring for friends’ and families’ dogs and cats—of different breeds, ages, and sizes. Being active is a big part of my life so I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, playing fetch with them, and then snuggling on the couch after a long day of activities! I work from home, so I can be flexible with owners’ schedules. I can work from your house, in order to spend more quality time with your babies. I am mindful of your routine and suggestions! I will follow your recommendations on what to do to keep your pets feeling relaxed and safe.

About: I am an animal lover looking to give love to dogs. I currently have a bichon/poodle mix who is the sweetest little man he loves dogs as well so if you would want your dog to have a playmate olli would be more then willing to join me on my service. I am a college student attending IUSB full time. I am originally from South Bend, Indiana. I have not met a single dog I have not fallen in love with immediately yet. The only request I have is that you let me know dietary restrictions. My cousin watches her bosses dog and gave him a puppy pop one for him to have diarrhea.. poor puppy. I will not feed your dog anything you do not want them to have. Thank you for looking at my page! I currently work part-time at a Hospital with weekends free and am a nursing student. While I do have to study for school I can study and hang with your pup at the same time. I treat each dog like my own. If I am caring for your dog it will be treated like my own dog and cared for as I would my own.

About: I love fur babies! Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable. During the week I would like to schedule regular evening walks, drops ins, or boarding. And weekends I am completely available. I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard! I am a very adventurous, outdoors person so if your dog is energetic I will be out there finding out what your dog enjoys to do, whether it be being chased, catching a ball, or just being curious and walking the neighborhood if you’re baby plans on hanging out with me I would definitely keep he/she active! I am currently working Monday-Thursdays, with a very flexible schedule! I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime throughout the day, but I will be able to give more devoted time for boarding typically Thur thru Sunday. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and feel at home! My family will live on your pets as if they are our own!
