“Jennifer & Larry did a great job taking care of our dog Arthur! If you are looking for someone in Goshen to watch your pet they are a great option. We will definitely be contacting them again if we need a pet sitter.”
“Faith and her Family are great! I’ve felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies with them! The photos and videos I got daily showed how much they enjoyed and cared for them while they were there. I will definitely keep faith as my go to when I need a pup sitter!”
“Betty was great with Jemma. She gave her extra care and attention with her overnight stay. I hope she can visit again when we make it back to Indiana in the future. Thank you Betty.”
“Leandra and Mark were amazing! We left our behaviorly challenged yorkie with them for a week and they handled him like professionals! We we got back it was like he was on vacation not us! He clearly loved them and di so well! We hope to use them for future vacation needs. We could not have asked for a better place for our fur baby to stay while we were gone. ❤️🫶🥰”
“Lynn is an absolute Godsend! She provided me multiple updates daily including photos. She offered food and health recommendations as well as resources to review and research. Lynn pampered and spoiled ChiChi during our nearly weeklong vacation. I would trust her with my own life, not just my dog’s life. She’s that darn good! I will only use her from now on and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!! Thank you again Lynn!!! 🫶🏼”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Lindsay is fabulous! Margot loved her four night stay at her house. she was able to play with the dogs in her care during the day and she was extremely patient with her when she was whining at night in the beginning. I was worried that my six month doodle was going to come back matted after having five days without being brushed. I didn’t need to worry. Lindsay kept on top of the brushing (without being asked to do so). If we ever need a dog sitter in the South Bend area, we will jump at the opportunity to use Lindsay’s services again!”
“Chris did a great job with my Triton. He kept me updated with photos and was even able to navigate his anxiety during the fire works. My pup came back to me the same way I left him and I will advise anyone to use his services.”
“We had an amazing experience with Dez and Nick! They are incredibly caring and patient, which was so important for us since Chico is still potty training. He had a lot of fun and received so much love while we were away; it was also great for him to spend time with their dogs, Sandler and Nolly. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such kind hands. Highly recommend!”
“I’m grateful we found Kevin for our Bodie. He sent updates and Bodie was having a blast with his dogs and in the backyard. I doubt our dog knew we were gone for the weekend.”
“Katherine was amazing with Odie! He stayed with her for five days and kept me updated on him by sending me pictures and brief daily messages. Before Odie's stay, she invited me to the meet and greet so that Odie could get to know her and other members of the household. Our conversation that day, and the way she interacted with Odie, let me know that she would be a perfect caretaker for him. I felt at ease the whole time I was away knowing that he was in good hands. I definitely plan on booking with her again!”
“This was my dog’s first time boarding and he is a very excited dog, but kudos to Tiffani for taking such great care of our dog. Also appreciate you for taking last minute booking.”

“Once again Alyssa provided amazing care for our pets! She provides a detailed report of her time with our pets, plenty of pictures, and communicates with us prior to us leaving. We will continue to use her every time we go on vacation because we know our pets are well cared for.”
About: Hi! I’m Kiara, and I have over 4 years of experience walking and caring for pets of all kinds. I’m passionate about providing reliable, attentive care and making sure each animal’s routine, exercise, and comfort needs are met. I prioritize safety, follow any instructions from owners closely, and create a calm, comfortable environment so pets feel secure while you’re away. I am currently working full time 8am-5pm in Elkhart on weekdays, but I am happy to provide care whenever is possible especially overnight and on weekends! I prioritize safety and trust in every interaction. My home (or the space where I care for pets) is secure and free of hazards, and I always supervise pets closely. I follow any routines or instructions owners provide, including feeding, exercise, and behavior guidelines. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
“Adrianna did a wonderful job watching my 4 cats while my husband and I were on an extended vacation. She was prompt with her visits and always stayed at least the 30 minutes for the drop in visit. She was very responsive and communicative while we were gone, which I really appreciated. I have one problem kitty who requires a lot of medication and she did a great job making sure he got his meds each visit and communicated with me right away if she had any questions. I would 100% book Adrianna again to watch my cats.”
“Raquel did a great job. I really appreciate her putting our Chewey order away too. (Always seems to come when I am gone.) She checked w/ me when she had questions and gained the trust of our timid kitty.”
“Christy cared for Cookie and always updated me on how my cat was doing....it was great peace of mind for me. Christy even brought to my attention when there were concerns about too much self scratching going on. I will have Christy pet sit for me from here on out!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I recently moved to the U.S. and haven’t brought my own pets from Brazil yet, and I miss them so much! Caring for pets makes me feel at home again, so I treat every dog or cat as if they were mine. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and give lots of love to their pets. I work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to care for pets. Spending time with dogs and cats is something I truly enjoy, so weekends are perfect for walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I always prioritize the pet’s safety during walks, using secure leashes and staying alert to surroundings. I follow all owner instructions and keep you updated with photos and messages.
About: Even though I love dogs, cats will always have my heart. They are amazing and often misunderstood breed. I’ve spent a great deal around them, especially in the summer looking after my aunt’s cat farm with multiple cats with different personalities. With this experience I can confidently say I’m great at reading and interpreting cat behavior. I have also administered meditation to both dogs and cats. I have zero problem cleaning litter boxes and taking care of many cats.
“Libby is a great cat sitter! My cat is shy but Libby was able to pet her and pick her up in just a few days of meeting her! She sent multiple pictures everyday and she cleaned up and took out the trash on the last day. I will definitely be using Libby again!”
“Valeria did great letting my dogs out during the week. She was especially patient with my anxious dog that is scared of strangers. She was very communicative and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“My cat had a rough time adjusting at first and she was so patient with him as he was settling in! After he adjusted he loved being there, and I love the pictures I got from Anna from his stay! If I ever need someone to watch him again I will definitely be going to Anna!”
“Delana is always great with our pups and I never have to worry! Our nervous dog who barks at everyone even loves her. And she always spends extra time playing with them and loving them.”
“Blair was perfect for our needs. Our dog is very skittish with unknown people and never does well in a kennel. She came and met with him while we were home to get aquatinted with him. She took care of him for the two days we needed and he was perfectly fine and relaxed when we came home. Will definitely use her again. Thank You Blair!”

“We needed daycare for our dog while in town on business. Josie’s name came up and her reviews were glowing so we booked with her. I can attest that every review is true. Josie took as good of care of Winston as I do. She played with him, took him on walks and loved on him. She thought enough about him and us to send pictures. We will be back in Elkhart in April and Josie will be who we make an appt with. I can’t recommend her enough. Five stars are not enough, wish there were ten!”
“I knew right away our Pup was in good and loving hands. Betty is so kind and she let us know throughout the day how our little guy was doing. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Jennifer and Larry were awesome. Nestli was excited to enter their house the moment he got there, and immediately began exploring the fenced yard with joy. He was happy to be there, and when we picked him up, he made sure to give Jennifer several kisses and wiggle butts goodbye. Obviously, Jennifer and Larry took great care of Nestli, and also accommodated our extra time needs for our event, for which we are very grateful!”
About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
“Our dog had such a great time with Lindsay! She sent photo updates and even sent our pup home with a cute bandana. Lindsay was so great with our pup - we will continue to use her for our doggy day care needs.”
“Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.”
About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.
“Flexible and an understanding caregiver for our active poodle. We were visiting out of state and Sonny was able to accommodate us last minute. Sonny sent us photos, videos, and updates through-out the day, which helped my family be more at ease. We will be using Sonny’s services when we visit next time.”
“I had a great experience and would highly recommend! Supitsara is very caring and knowledgeable about dogs, and really nice in general. She provided pictures and updates. I had no hesitations leaving my dog. Thank you again.”
About: I grew up helping out on my friends parents farm. After we moved away my family signed up to foster for the humane society and my love for animals only grew. I’ve helped deliver and care for puppies and kittens. I now have 2 daughters of my own that love animals just as much as I do and our favorite thing to do is go to the humane society to play with the pups and cats 💕 I run my own business and work from home. Both my girls are in school so I have a lot of free time I’d love to use on with helping some furbabies 💕 I live in an apartment right of the millrace so we love walls on the trail! We also love going to the dog park here in goshen because it’s always empty. I will make sure your furbaby is very well cared for in the time they are with me 💕
“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!

About: I’ve always been asked to take care of animals by friends and family. I’ve always been asked to pet sit due to my love for animals and my ability to love them as my own.

I enjoy the flexibility of pet sitting and how well it works with my schedule and how I also get to build bonds with animals! Fenced in yard with two cats.

About: I know first hand how important a pet is. They are not just a pet they are part of the family. I will make sure that the love, attention and affection lasts even when you are away. I have a huge love for animals and knowing I’m helping give your fur baby the love they deserve while keeping them out of the a stressful boarding environment makes me very happy! I have a very flexible schedule on my days off work. I work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and every other Saturday. My fiancé is amazing and more than willing to help me care for your pet if needed. He is as much an animal lover as me. I have had dogs all of my life so I am very familiar with what it takes to care for them. I am signing up for my dog training certification as well to help further my knowledge on dog behavior. My dream is to work with animals and this is the perfect opportunity. I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and every other Saturday. I am flexible on my days off. However, If your home is close enough to my work I can always do a drop in during my lunch break to check on your pet and let them out to potty and play. I always try to stick to the closest routine your pet is used to as possible to help reduce any stress and anxiety that your pet may experience while you are away.
About: I've taken care of pets since I can remember. This past year I have started dog sitting for friends and family and they have trusted me to care for their animals like I would for my own. I am currently working part-time and am enrolled in college, doing mostly online work. I am able to work around my work schedule and leave periodically if needed to care for a pet. I make sure to have lots of outside time with my own pets. We play fetch and go on walks daily. I have a fenced in yard to make sure my pets are safe.
About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Cats, dogs, rodents, fish... even spiders! I've loved and cared for them all. I'm confident around all pets no matter their size or demeanor Working in education, my summers are always guaranteed off so I have plenty of time for your animals! Mornings, afternoons, evenings...even emergency visits! I can do them all. Including WEEKEND AVAILABILITY Any instructions given about your fur baby will be followed to a T. They are my number one priority and will always be treated as such.
About: Pet guardian since birth. Animal care professional for over 10 years. I know that pets aren't just animals they are family! With a decade of experience with many animal species as a Veterinary Assistant in both general practice and shelter medicine, I offer a level of expertise that goes beyond a standard pet sitter. My background allows me to recognize subtle signs of illness or distress, administer medications, and provide animal first aid with confidence. I've also worked in boarding and training facilities and understand that many pets don’t thrive in that high stress environment. Whether your dog is a puppy, high energy, senior, timid, or exhibits reactive/aggressive behaviors, I provide a patient, low stress environment tailored to their specific needs and personality. My biggest goal is to provide the top notch care they deserve and give you total peace of mind while you're away. While I specialize in dogs, I am experienced with and more than happy to care for cats, reptiles, rodents, farm animals and more. If you have any questions about my background or specific needs for your pet, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My entire daily routine revolves around the animals. Their meal times and potty schedules direct my whole day. My own dogs are my personal alarm clock and make sure to remind me when it's time to eat and for walks. I aim to keep routines as normal as possible. Even with fenced in yards, I go out with them and make sure everyone stays out of trouble ( no digging, chewing plants, etc), dogs are NEVER walked off leash, all dogs eat with supervision and can be separated if necessary, I will also crate if necessary if leaving the home or at night by owner request.
About: Head out of town with the confidence that you furry one will enjoy excellent care. Our golden doodle loves to welcome guests. And our teenage son is here to take your dog on walks (we’re just off the Goshen millrace), play fetch in our back yard, and generally lavish attention on them. We offer seasonal times mostly. This is focused around times when our son is off school in order to give constant care. The adults also have flexible work schedules ensuring plenty of support for the rhythms of pet care. We keep a tidy home where your pet can relax and play. We make every effort to maintain the rhythms (exercise, feeding, etc) that your pet is accustomed to.

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs so I have a special place in heart for them. I have grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them my whole life. I have cared for many types of dogs in a professional setting for the last 4 years so I know the struggles and also the joys of caring for pets. Friends, family and clients have trusted me to feed, water, play, walk, medicate, and take full care of their pets whatever their needs my be. But, more than that, they have trusted me to take care of their homes by bringing in the mail and packages, staying at night, and cleaning their homes and up after the pets. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a part time student which allows me to have much flexibility in my schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets! I care for pets in my clients home by doing any and all care my client enlists me to do. I take joy in every dog sitting job that I do and just absolutely love every minute of it. I take precautions by meeting the family and pets before agreeing to dogsit to ensure it would be a good fit the both of us. I always make sure I have up to date contact information for the client and their vet. Every dog sitting job is different but I would say an average day would look like letting the dogs out first thing in the morning and refilling water and the food bowl if necessary. Then, I'll take them for a walk and play with them, let them outside midday, play with them some more, give them a few treats to see what kind of tricks they can do, probably lots of belly rubs in between, and then feed them dinner and water. Lastly, I would take them outside right before we go to bed.
About: I love pet! and I have been spending my life with them since I was young. I have dogs as my pet now and I used to pet cats before, so I don't mind taking care of cats :) I've been with puppies, aging dogs, and disabled dogs. I like teaching some tricks for them! My dogs know how to roll, wait, speak, lay down, and give a hand :D I love to see them well-groomed! so If you want me to make them smell good, I would love to take a bath for them. If your dogs are energetic, I don't mind taking them to do activities, such as running. If your dogs stay overnight with me, I would use them as my bear lol
About: *Please read everything first* Hi y'all !! Thanks for checking me out! So first off love animals lol All of them. So I'm reliable enough to stay at your house if needed so I can provide the best care for your Fur babies. I'm comfortable with all ages of dogs and cats. Guinea pigs, Hamsters, bunnies. If your dog is timid or maybe fear bites I'm patient. I'll do whatever I have to to keep your pets environment as it is when you guys are home. I adapt to the dogs vibe and I follow special directions well for those special ones on special diets. I know how to do things like bathe, brush teeth, clean ears, give medications , etc. I love all animals and I would looove to help take care of your fur babies. Animals are something that I take very serious. I've had pups and kitties of my own almost my whole life and I've had bunnies and guinea pigs. I've also dog sat before. Animals mean a very great deal to me and you really wouldn't go wrong with hiring me. Let's meet so you can learn more about me and get a more clear schedule set up. You can't let just anyone watch your babies!! *PLEASE READ* For dog owners* I am probably best for you on the weekends. I work all hours of the day during the week and can't make any guarantees I'll be off at certain time to let dogs out. All of my care would have to be in the afternoon/nights/early mornings. I'm free all weekends. For cat owners- since cats don't need to be let out multiple times a day, I am good for you. I will be there too feed twice a day and clean litter boxes. At this current moment I do not have my own place therefore I will not be boarding any animals with me. All care will have to be in home stay or check ins.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, along with my reliability and attention to detail. As a nurse, I provide compassionate care every day and understand how important it is to make others feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am experienced in following detailed instructions, maintaining routines, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I’m also comfortable caring for pets who need medications or extra attention. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and companionship while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring and responsible hands. As a full-time nurse working night shift, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. On my days off, I have even more availability for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for pets, and I make sure they receive attentive, reliable care while their owners are away. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I try to follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, take dogs for walks and potty breaks, clean up after them, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“Jennifer & Larry did a great job taking care of our dog Arthur! If you are looking for someone in Goshen to watch your pet they are a great option. We will definitely be contacting them again if we need a pet sitter.”
“Leandra and Mark were amazing! We left our behaviorly challenged yorkie with them for a week and they handled him like professionals! We we got back it was like he was on vacation not us! He clearly loved them and di so well! We hope to use them for future vacation needs. We could not have asked for a better place for our fur baby to stay while we were gone. ❤️🫶🥰”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Lindsay is fabulous! Margot loved her four night stay at her house. she was able to play with the dogs in her care during the day and she was extremely patient with her when she was whining at night in the beginning. I was worried that my six month doodle was going to come back matted after having five days without being brushed. I didn’t need to worry. Lindsay kept on top of the brushing (without being asked to do so). If we ever need a dog sitter in the South Bend area, we will jump at the opportunity to use Lindsay’s services again!”
“Chris did a great job with my Triton. He kept me updated with photos and was even able to navigate his anxiety during the fire works. My pup came back to me the same way I left him and I will advise anyone to use his services.”
“I’m grateful we found Kevin for our Bodie. He sent updates and Bodie was having a blast with his dogs and in the backyard. I doubt our dog knew we were gone for the weekend.”
“Katherine was amazing with Odie! He stayed with her for five days and kept me updated on him by sending me pictures and brief daily messages. Before Odie's stay, she invited me to the meet and greet so that Odie could get to know her and other members of the household. Our conversation that day, and the way she interacted with Odie, let me know that she would be a perfect caretaker for him. I felt at ease the whole time I was away knowing that he was in good hands. I definitely plan on booking with her again!”
“This was my dog’s first time boarding and he is a very excited dog, but kudos to Tiffani for taking such great care of our dog. Also appreciate you for taking last minute booking.”
“Kimberlee and her family loved our dog as if he were their own. They even gave us some training tops for our young dog. I will return again and again for such excellent care!”
“I am so happy with Andrew. He has taken great care of my Einstein. It’s not easy sometimes with an 80# puppy with no manners!! I will definitely use him again.”
“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”
“Thanks so much, Emily & Ryan! We appreciated all the picture updates, and Calvin obviously had a wonderful time. You guys were always quick to respond, helpful, and flexible. We hope to book again in future.”
“Verry accommodating and friendly. Treated my fury kids like family. Send regular and useful (including video) updates on the well being of my dog and cat. Her dog and my dog became very good friends. Mimi still misses Hamy.”
About: I have always grew up around dogs in my home and friends, family home. My grandma used to foster dogs and she taught me a lot I know about them including but not limited to administering shots and medications. I currently work full-time. However, the dog door and fenced in yard allows your dog to be out and roam freely while I am away. I am also okay to crate your dog if that is what you would prefer. When I get home it's usually clean, play, and dinner time. As the night goes on its movies and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door to let your dog(s) run around outside and play during the day freely as wanted. I love to take walks in the nice weather with the dogs and play fetch out in the yard. I have an indoor camera and outdoors cameras to keep eyes when I'm not home.
“I am thankful to find rover.com! Pamela took excellent care of our 11 year old German Shepherd. She sent me pictures/updates of our girl. I was very nervous because we recently moved to the areas and our dog has never stayed with someone she didn't know before. I would not hesitate to let our beloved Dakota stay there again!”
