House Sitting in Southeast Pond, South Bend, IN

About: Growing up in the country, I have been an animal caretaker for years. While my personal pets were mostly rabbits and dogs, I served as the community rescue, rehab, and release person for wildlife in the surrounding area. Whether they're young or old, need medication or a specific diet, enjoy chewing everything in sight, or need lots of exercise and love, I am grateful to be able to care for your furry friend(s) in any manner they require. Currently, I work Monday through Friday morning and afternoon, but am completely available on weekends. I can make weekday stop ins during work hours and stay the night any day. I am extremely attentive to detail, whether it be your normal routine/schedule for pet care, providing medication accurately and easily, or double-checking that your pet remains safe on walks or in the home. I will encourage your pets to join me on the furniture if an owner allows, make sure a coat or booties get put on if needed, and send as many pictures as their loved ones want. I treat your pets like they're my best friend too!

“Alyssa did an awesome job house sitting with our 2 dogs while we were away for 5 days. The dogs bonded with her right away, and she took great care of them. When she came for a meet and greet she was very attentive in learning about their personal needs. She was also very responsive via text and sent updates throughout the stay. Our house was in great shape when we got home. We would definitely rebook with Alyssa in the future and she has our full recommendation!”

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.

“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”

“This was my second time leaving my girls with a sitter. Jacee was wonderful, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met her, along with my dogs. She came to meet us at our home prior, and the one dog who takes a minute to get close, quickly welcomed her. Communicated frequently, sending pictures every morning and evening, which allowed me to see how happy they were with her, and I was able to not worry about them and focus on visiting and helping my grandfather while he is recovering in another state. I am looking forward to having her come back.”

Heather H.

“Chloe did an amazing job with our two pups. One of our dogs had a last minute injury and had to take medicine while we were gone and Chloe handled it very well! She left our house in great condition and our boys were very happy to have her company. Chloe also sent a ton of photos to us which really helped me as this was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter.”

“Elizabeth was an excellent dog sitter while I was away on vacation for a week. Archie felt comfortable with her right away during their meet and greet. She took great care of my Archie, communicated and shared pictures daily. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. She stayed at my place for the week and everything was perfectly in it's place when I got home. Will most definitely be using her again!”
