“Alyssa is great! She stepped in to care for Jeffrey while he was injured and crate bound. He loves her, and so does the cat, Syd Vicious, and you can tell by the name she doesn't love anybody!”
“Adrianna was very good with our dogs and cat and provided a safe and calming presence. She took notes when we met and didn't freak out over some of the dogs possible behaviors. We would definitely use her again!”
“Christy did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs while we were out. She was very punctual on her visits and quick to communicate anything to us. I know who to call next time we’re out of town!”
“Lanae did a great job on short notice for us. Highly recommend.”
“Bree was excellent with our Frenchie! She provided communication, and photos, and met Gus’s needs for attention, to help with his separation anxiety! She really saved us, as we were in a pinch, and in need of a last-minute sitter. I would gladly recommend her, for future reference.”
“April was kind to our pup, asked lots of questions, and took good care of our pup. We will be reaching out again!”

About: Ever since I was 9, I have taken care of dogs and cats from ranches to homes, and from walks to simple home care visits. I and currently PRN and going to school during the week days, with the PRN my availability may vary but more than likely I am available. My classes are only in the mornings with only one being in the afternoon, which gives me plenty of time with your furry babies. I am a great problem solver and will always work in the best interest of your pet. If I am unsure about anything that can possibly hinder your pet's safety I will always ask you. I want your babies safe and you stress and worry free.
“Jena took great care of my cat, handled his medication needs without any issues and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend her to others!”
“She is perfect! She responded quickly and even tho I was booking last minute she fit me in to her schedule. Our first time I booked an in home visit and a 30 minute walk with Ann, I had seen such a huge difference in my dog queen when I got home! Not only that but I had went outside for break and just so happened to see her and Queen walking across the street. I got to see how nice and soft-spoken she was to queen and how safe and attentive she was towards her.I am extremely satisfied and and will be booking regular weekly visits! She is great with animals and I highly recommend her. I can't express enough how grateful I am and how much of a difference she made for queen.❤️❤️”
About: Mature, dependable, and experienced, I’ve cared for pets my entire life and hold dog and cat handling certifications from the Elkhart County Humane Society. I’ve looked after dozens of animals and volunteer with Fort Wayne’s Tails on Trails dog-walking program. I'm in the process of starting a business which makes my schedule very flexible.

Additionally, all dietary needs will be taken care of carefully and accurately. Exercise, quality time and care with your pet, and the utmost respect for your home are non-negotiables.
“Jenna did a great job with my two cats. They are quite shy and go into hiding when anyone comes to the house. It took some time but by the end Ricky was greeting Jenna and getting some pets. Can't give a better endorsement than that! I had an accident while on vacation and needed help for about 5 weeks longer than planned which Jenna was able to do. That was extremely helpful. I would definitely use Jenna again an highly recommend her.”

About: Peace of mind is priceless; I’m here to provide it for you and your pet. My beloved boys passed away a few years ago; it gives me great joy to care for your dogs while you are away. As a dog owner with 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, I understand how important it is to create a loving, safe space while you're away. Previously, I owned and managed a horse boarding facility in Goshen for 15+ years, where I cared for up to 20 horses alongside countless dogs and cats. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide dedicated, attentive care for your pet. Whether it’s snuggles, treats, or frequent walks and potty breaks, your furry friend will be well-loved and cared for as if they were my own. I’ve even been called a “dog whisperer” by some!

I’m reliable, trustworthy, and flexible—ready to accommodate any special requests, from frequent updates to ensuring your little buddy follows their usual routine. Having used Rover myself, I understand how important peace of mind is. Rest assured, I’ll treat your family member with the utmost care and follow all your instructions to the letter. Your pet is welcome on the furniture, on adventures, and in my heart. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved family member! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pet throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to mid-day snuggles and evening potty breaks, I can easily integrate your pet's needs into my routine. I ensure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention while keeping their schedule consistent and comforting. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I live in a quite, safe neighborhood where your pet will be able to have plenty on potty breaks and outside time for walks. I do work full time, however I’m able to come home on my lunch hour for a potty break for your pet.

Joel B.
“I do not trust my fur babies with anyone but Joel. Joel met my doggo with me, before taking the "job". He is kind and caring of my dog's boundaries. She is a Chihuahua and has big Chihuahua personality, walking her with other dogs can be difficult, but Joel gently took care of the walk situation. I have very detailed instructions when I leave. Joel follows the instructions exactly as noted, potty times, food times, play times, bedtimes and just cuddle times if doggo so inclined. I check in regularly as all fur baby parents would. He always answers and gives me updates as to how things are going. He is even willing to face time me so I can see my fur baby. When I get home, my baby is happy, no stress, happy to see me, and obviously well cared for. I recommend Joel as a 5-star fur babysitter.”
