House Sitting in Town of Pines

“Emily and her little chihuahua stayed at our home for a week taking care of our dachshund and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and also took really good care of the house. I could hardly tell that she was here when we got back. We will definitely use her again!”

“Brooklyn was a great sitter! We contacted her last minute so that we could take advantage of some good backpacking weather over the weekend. She communicated very promptly, took great care of the dogs while we were gone (even sent us pictures and updates), and left the place in great shape. We would definitely recommend Brooklyn!”

“Wow what an incredible pup sitter Stephanie is! We came home to a very happy puppy! The house looked great and she was so kind in sending us pictures of Otis all throughout our time away. We will hire her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Stephanie!!”

About: We have taken care of and loved dogs since we were children. We have rescued many dogs. One of my dogs had seizures which we cared for and loved for many years. If I had the ability I would rescue more. So the next best thing is to give your fur baby all the love I can during their stay. I work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your dogs. With the help of my son there will aways be someone to care for your fur baby. I have a 3 sided fenced yard and a tie out that runs the length of it. So there is plenty of room for exercise. I also have 2 very friendly pups to keep yours company. I am also able to crate your dog if so desired. I am currently working part time but between my work schedule and my son’s work schedule we will be available for your precious pups needs I have a partially fenced yard with a heavy strength run for dogs with more power and size We will walk smaller dogs in the yard on leash. At your home I follow your lead with what they ate already familiar with

“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs from sizes and breeds since I was a kid. Throughout my life I’ve had several dogs all types of different breeds and sizes, from a mastiff to a miniature poodle. So, I have lots experience in dealing with dogs in different ranges with breed,size, and age. I also have experience with cats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am working full time currently, I am off on the weekends unless and normally completely free these days. I work during the day most days. I usually work evenings one day out of the week,tuesdays. I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats. With my dog we feed him in the morning and evening, throughout the day I usually play with my dog let him out to go potty, and a couple walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I also feed my cats morning and night and play with them throughout the day and clean their litter box in the evening.

“Lilly is such a professional and was amazing with our cat. Baloo is a sweet kitty, but often doesn’t trust someone and sit on their lap right away— and he did with Lilly! I’m so impressed with her ability to connect with him. She gave us updates throughout the day and it made us feel at such ease. We are definitely having her care for Baloo again and again!!! Cannot recommend her enough.”

“Katrina was wonderful. She took the time to come and meet our pets. She was at our home when she said she was going to be. She took our doges to the dog park and sent pictures to update us. We didn’t have to worry about our pets and knew they were well taken care of.”

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, especially cats, and I bring a calm, attentive, and loving approach to every visit. From feeding and medication to playtime and companionship, I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet parent, I understand how important it is to maintain routines and create a stress, free environment while owners are away. Whether caring for energetic kittens, shy cats, or other small animals, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it aligns with what I already love doing, spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for, as well as caring for my three fur babies. I plan my schedule to allow plenty of time for visits, giving each pet the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I enjoy building consistent routines that keep pets comfortable and owners reassured. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s part of how I live. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, aiming to keep everything as familiar and consistent as possible for the pet. I follow detailed instructions, give updates to the owner, and make sure each visit includes essentials like feeding, playtime, and litter or potty breaks. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family, with love, patience, and dependable care.

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life I helped raise my parents dog, a four year-old Australian Shepherd named Eddy. I’ve dog sit and watched family and friends dogs, majority of my life. I really enjoy getting exercise and spending quality time with other peoples dogs, being able to socialize with them, play with them and get as much joy from them as I can. Im free in the afternoons Monday- Sunday. Also evenings my schedule is flexible. I live in Chesterton dune land area. I’m a animal lover but dogs are my favorite animals in general. I’ve got experience with many different breeds. From behavioral training - teaching dogs how to do tricks. From bathing and waking running swimming, I’ve got experience working with aggressive rescue to watching multiple dogs. I’m eager to help them no matter what the situation calls for. Thanks -Kyle. I’m currently working part time so I have extra time to earn extra income doing something I really love. It’s truly a dream job for me. I helped rise my parents 4 year old Australian Shepherd, i trained my dog to stay in the proximity of the yard when he was six months old he does not need a leash when we go on walks he stays by my side or within 100 yards. I’m very fortunate that I trained him early on at a young age so he knows the perimeter of the yard. He’ll also sit an watch the other neighborhood. Dogs play. He does not go into the their yards. He just sits at the perimeter of my yard and watches them play This is one something I’m extremely proud of.

“Meredith did a great job with our two dogs, a four year old and a rambunctious four month old, and our 14 year-old cat. She handled our little circus with no issues!”

About: I have been practicing at local vet clinics in the area since 2014. I found my passion in animals and got my license (RVT) in 2015. I have a wide range of experience with aggressive and fearful pets. I can give oral and injectable medications accurately. I am looking to work with the community more and fill in my income needs with caring for your furbabies! I have experience with most exotic species including but not limited to rabbits, guinea pigs, small rodents, snakes, birds, and some large animals. I currently work 3 days a week but each day is a 13 hour day. Allowing me to have 4 days a week open to help you care for your furbabies. I am available to come to your home to care for your pet. I am happy to provide walks and can also play on property with your pet. Currently I am not able to bring pets into my home.

About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“My 3 month puppy needed some supervision while my wife and I were at work, so we go Ayla to house sit our little guy. She was absolutely amazing! Super friendly, followed our care instructions, and even sent both my wife and I and update. I highly recommend Ayla to care for your dog!”

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have some experience in dog training I work full time, but only four days a week. I can always check on animals in the evenings and I always have Friday/saturday/Sunday free for pet care In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there. I find it easier to deal with pets in an environment that is familiar to them as they seem more at ease that way. I do my best to follow any routine an animal has to keep the animal calm and to make sure they receive proper care
