“Rex had an amazing stay with Andrew and Jane! we would definitely have him stay there again, they were great with communication and sent us videos and photo updates.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!! 🫶🏼”
“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!”
“Victoria took really good care of Beans, kept me updated and always responded to my messages quickly. She was kind and had a great environment for pups. She took her for walks and let her sleep with her in the bed. Beans had a great time there!”
“My dog, Gabi, really enjoyed her time over there. Andrea was great at communicating over Gabi's care. Gabi seemed excited to see me but wasn’t scrambling to get home the way she has in the past with other pet sitters. Definitely would recommend Andrea if your dog likes kids.”
“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!”
About: There has never been a time in my life that animals weren’t around. Have been around dogs,cats, birds, and snakes my whole life. I’ve always owned pets! I work as an artist which means that ultimately I do make my own schedule. I can be as flexible or busy as I wish! I truly understand the importance of pets in a home & the role that they play in their owners life. I give all pets the attention, love & care they need
“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!”
“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. ❤️🫶🥰”
About: I have a Belgian Malanois who’s name is Beau. He is an Extremely passionate and caring dog with a high drive to learn. I have put In the time and effort to train and build our relationship as a family. I also have a Golden retriever and she couldn’t care less about anything other than love haha. I have a full time job, which ends at 2:00pm. From 2:00pm until bed I spend with my dog whether it be training, or walking. I spend a minimum of 2 hours a day training with Beau. I believe that your dog can fit right in and be in a comfortable, safe, home away from home. I do not have a fenced in yard yet but I’m outside every time my pups go out. If need be, I have leashes I can use to let your pup outside as well.
“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.”
“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!”

“Mariah was great! She came beforehand to do a walkthrough and sent pictures when she stopped by. It was reassuring to know the kitties were well taken care of. Will definitely use Mariah again!”
About: I grew up with animals, such as dogs, rabbits, and birds. I have a love for all pets, especially dogs. Different breeds and sizes. I did two years of a dog training club in 4-H and used the information with my dog. I currently have a full time job. I would be able to care for your pets in the evenings after 6:00 pm, as well as overnight if needed. I am available most weekends. I will treat your home with respect and integrity. Please leave a note with all expectations and I will follow them to the best of my ability.
About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl and can always be found hanging out with the pets over people at parties! I get along really well with furry friends and I will take really good care of yours! I am self-employed, so I always have availability throughout the week when I'm not traveling. I also have my puppy I would be bringing with me if I am house sitting, so please keep that in mind! She loves other dogs. I can come and play with your animals as often and as long as needed. I will stop in every few hours if need be and will definitely give them all the loves and pets!
“Alyssa took great care of our 13-year old cat while we were away. She sent pictures daily and our normally reluctant cat took to her right away. We will definitely book Alyssa again the next time we need a sitter.”
“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”
“Mykale is a wonderful cat-sitter! I have two elderly cats, one of whom requires twice daily medication, and so I'm always a bit nervous about leaving them behind if I have to travel. Knowing that Mykale is dropping in on them while I'm gone has really put my mind at ease. She is very communicative and the cats warmed up to her really quickly. When the winter weather got truly awful she even switched to an overnight stay last minute to ensure that Rascal would get his medication in the morning as scheduled even if everyone got snowed in!”
“Michelle was wonderful! She dropped in to feed & care for my Kitty while I was out of town for 10 days. First time I’ve left him alone with a “stranger” but he came out from hiding and took to her from day one! That’s never happened even with family members he has seen previously! Loved the daily message and photos. I highly recommend Michelle. She can be trusted to care for your special pet and goes above & beyond to report potential concerns with the house/property too ! She will definitely be my first choice for future trips!”
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.

“Elizabeth was wonderful! Great communication, regular updates and photos. She made us feel comfortable from the beginning. We had zero worries and no guilt leaving our kitty with Elizabeth. Thank you!”
About: I am a huge pet lover! I’ve had several pets over the years and I treat them as if they were my child. I feel as if animals should feel loved and cared for just as much as us humans. For the time being I am available ALL week including weekends. I have always had a special connection with animals. My friend of mine had a Golden Retriever and his name was Benny he was my bestfriend. We’d always spend time together and I’ve always just felt the need to look after him as if he were my own. My point is I genuinely care for animals and it’s always in my best interest to keep them safe and care for them as best as possible. I have a huge field across from my house that I walk to every morning and afternoon just to get some fresh air so daily walks and outdoor time won’t be a problem for me. I also like to have cats as my primary emotional support animal so their presence alone would be a great addition to my daily routine. There is a ginormous field across from my apartment complex for your fur companion’s enjoyment so there will be tons of outdoor and play time. I do not have a fenced yard so I will always be alongside them at the park with a secured leash of course.
About: For as long as I can remember my life has always involved dogs. I grew up with four dogs in the household, a Rottweiler , a pitbull, Chihuahua, and a Chihuahua mix. Beauty, Daddy, Baby, and Beast. I would always play with him, feed them, train them, and be their best friend. I am always the person that my friends and family ask to babysit and walk their dogs! I have always worked with dogs and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I am currently attending college full time. However, my schedule is flexible and my classes are online. I will always make time to provide pet care services! Your furry friend will always feel and be safe in my home! I have an apartment, and I also have a cozy dog bed for your furry friend to relax in! 🐾
About: I am an accredited dog trainer with about 2 years of professional experience. I provide puppy/beginner training to advance packages, including Service Dog training. This can easily be incorporated to your Dog boarding/daycare or a private session. I grew up on a farm so I was taught how to care for domestic and livestock animals at an early age. I've taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, reptiles, rodents, and just about most other traditional pets. I have the experience and accessibility to care for younger and older dogs that require special attention from frequent potty breaks to providing medication. I am a full time student so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's every need. I have 2 friendly furry pals that would love to play and provide company to other pets. I live in an apartment, but I have a dedicated area for this purpose. I also have a fenced balcony and my apartment has a dog park on sight.

“Emily and Ryan did a great job watching Hopscotch. They were easy to communicate with and were flexible with my schedule. I would recommend them if you need someone to watch your dog.”
“We contacted Val the morning of and she was more than happy to have our Remington over for daycare on such short notice. We were super pleased with the amount of photos and videos that were shared through her Instagram. We found it to be very convenient on staying updated with our pup's activities. We can tell Remington had a blast and hope to book with her again! Thank you Val!”
“LiLi had a great time at Kimberlee’s. When I came to pick her up, she was still trying to run around and play with their dog, Odie, who has become one of LiLi’s best pals.”
“Kiana was great. We were visiting from out of town and wanted to bring our fur baby. However, the weather was extremely cold and my daughter and I wanted to go to the outlet mall but had no clue what to do with our pup. I reached out to Kiara and god a near immediate response. We were able to enjoy our trip and our pup was happy too. She got a walk and lots of love and attention and had a blast playing with her dog. She was nice and worn out for our long car ride home. Definitely recommend!”
About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.
“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.”
“I don’t think I can say enough good about Haley and Pierce. Pierce is the perfect combination of laid back and playful. He patiently tolerated her initial over-excitement and then ran and played “chase” with her at the beautiful park where Haley took them. Haley was friendly and professional, providing frequent updates and photos. I will most definitely be using Haley again!”
About: I’ve always had a special connection with pets. I believe in giving my pets the best life I can give. I love to train animals with positive reinforcement, love, and plenty of patience. My dog and I spend a lot of time together, and she gets love from the whole family. She is my world and my best friend. I also have some small critters that all get along with her. I also have four rescue cats! They’re all loved and cuddled often. Many people call my place “the zoo” because I have such an affinity for animals. All my animals are socialized so that they feel comfortable with people and other animals. At the moment, I am between employment, so I am taking the time to spend with my animals at home! It’s brings me great joy to give them the attention they deserve, and I thought that I would extend help to anyone else needing support for their pets while they are away. At my house we have a dog who need an introduction to other dogs, but easily get along if done properly. Most importantly we have a large backyard that is fenced in.
“He enjoys every second with her...She is amazing and always sends me videos and pics! I hate being away from him so it makes it easier with the pics and videos!!! If I can give her more then 5 stars I would!!!”
“Jeremiah is a very kind and experienced sitter ... his approach to my very anxious old lady was gentle and expert so that she moved right along with him. He kept me posted by sending a photo of my relaxed dog; walked her; and hung out with. I am very pleased with his knowledge of dogs, the serene surroundings for him to walk a dog, and his patient attitude towards anxious dogs. ... and owners ;-). Thanks you, Jeremiah.”
“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.”
“Michaela was great! I could tell from the pictures that LiLi was very comfortable while staying with her. Michaela has a sweet personality and I know she made sure LiLi got lots of snuggles while she was with her.”
About: As a big animal lover I’ve always sought ways to spend more time with them in whatever ways I could - be that pet-sitting for friends and family, helping to exercise friend’s dogs when they were busy, to volunteering for the last 12 years at a therapeutic horseback-riding facility. In that time I’ve dedicated to learning as much as I could about dogs, cats, and horses and how to care for and teach them so you can feel secure that your pet will be treated with the utmost kindness, respect, and love, with some dashes of training and fun mixed in. Need someone to care for your furry family member - look no further! I currently deliver packages for Amazon Flex and schedule my blocks day-of (usually only 2 hours or less before they start) so I’m always able to be available if need be. If in your home I can feed, water, walk, snuggle with, give medication, do basic training or exercise your dog and will do so in the most professional manner possible. If your dog is coming over to my home, I have a large, clear fenced in yard where my 11.5 month old Irish Setter has plenty of room to get her energy out daily so you can feel comfortable that your dogs would have ample space to wear themselves out and a super-friendly (and gentle) playmate to help in that endeavor. Afterwards I have a spare XL hard plastic crate if they need time and space to rest or if they are spending the night, along with plenty of fuzzy blankets and toys they can snuggle up with. Whatever it is your looking for, I’m happy to help make you and your dog’s lives happier, healthier and as stress-free as can be!
About: I'm willing to go above and beyond to make sure your pet is being taken care of my someone who is going to treat them like they are their own. Right now I'm more then willing to work with any schedule that helps benefit us both. I'm willing to make a drive if that's what's needed. I treat the pet and the owners stuff as if it's everything. I might clean up a bit of there's small stuff needed done. I'll clean up messes that are caused by any accidents in the home.
About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all sizes and personalities. I just earned my degree in biomedical engineering and am interested in a side hustle doing something I love - caring for pets! I have experience caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles.

I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands! Pet care already plays a big part in my daily routine since I take care of my own cat every day, including special care and medications. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have time for check-ins, feedings, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, giving meds if needed, and just spending quality time with pets. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover since I was a child. I absolutely love my fur baby she is my entire world. I don’t have kids so she is literally my baby. I make sure anytime I’m dog sitting all the fur babies are loved, cuddled and cared for. All my friends and family always call me to walk their pets ,for feeding, potty breaks and overnight stays. I currently work a full time 40 hour job at a psychiatric center here in south bend but I’m free most weekends starting Friday after 6:30pm all the way to Sunday! I do have plenty of time to take off work if I need to cover an emergency during the week, I am more than willing to do that I will mostly be sitting at clients homes, but if I dog sit at my home I do have a big yard but dogs will always be leashed for potty breaks because the yard is not fenced and I’d rather be safe than sorry, also if your dog needs a crate I do have a medium sized one from when my baby was spayed. I have AC and lots of comfy doggy beds and spots for dog to lay. I have a cute yorkie who is very playful, but also keeps to herself.

“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: I love walking dogs and I make sure I have 2 water bottles for me and the dog(s) or cats. I’m a local, so I know all the hip spots where the dogs like to mingle. I can also care for sick pets and have experience with dogs having seizures and cats with diabetes. I’m willing to learn the proper way to care for your pet when they are in my care. If your pet has any special needs please inform me in full. I can currently only pet sit small dogs and cats in my current residence. A little info about me: I’m a local recent college grad involved in the artistic community around South Bend IN. I work for a local book store and have flexible hours. Mondays - Wednesdays my schedule is more giving. Thursday-Saturday, I am free after 3PM to care for your pet family. I work in the NN Neighborhood, so I’ll finish up at the book shop and can take your pets on a nice walk through the neighborhood. When I am home sitting for a pet parent, I’d like to know if the pets is on a specific schedule and if they are in need any medications. I spend time with the animals sitting outside in the yard or inside the home for pets who cannot handle outside weather conditions. If you have cats, I’ll make sure their litter box is clean when I leave and that all water and food bowls are filled.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.
About: I have had years of experience with kids from babysitting and being a camp counselor along with pet setting. Parents would rely on me to take care of the kids as well! I currently work as a registered behavior technician from 9-1 and I’m also a junior at iusb studying health science! My classes are online for the summer session. The dogs will always have my full attention so I can always make sure they aren't getting into anything along as always having a play mate! I will make sure they eat great meals and have a great time.
About: I've had pets since age 7. Everything from reptiles, fish, cats, and dogs (of all sizes). Grew up with multiple cats and currently have multiple dogs and cat. I have pet sat for family and friends since before I could drive. I love getting to know new furry friends and often walk dogs at the humane society so they get proper socialization, very important. Have had to administer pet CPR twice in my life. Both times were due to dogs choking on an object/food. Positive outcomes from both incidents. Safe and happy is always top priority. I work full time but still have plenty of time and energy to care for not only my own pets but others as well. I know what I can handle and will never take on too much. When in your home I like to know your routine with your pet(s) to keep them on it as close as possible to minimize stress on them which is why I prefer to stay at a client's home with their animal, if possible. Your pet will never be unsupervised outside, even with a fenced in area I will be out there with them. Your pet will be spoiled with love and pets, if they permit it.

About: Growing up my parents have always had dogs. We would have at least three at a time, so our house was a little crazy, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Now that I’m married and on my own I had to get a dog because they make life so much better. I have had experience with giving medication to dogs, cleaning their ears, trimming their nails and giving baths. I have also went to several training classes with the dog I have now. I have raised him since he was a puppy. I have always had experiences with dogs, and I love that this can be my job! I’m currently a full time student and all of my classes are online, so I am home all day which will give me more time to play with your fur babies! I am available all day everyday!

Weekdays and Weekends are both open in my schedule and I can be accommodating. I am comfortable walking and playing with dogs/cats of all sizes, I am strong and know how to lead and divert unwanted behavior. I make sure water and bathroom breaks are a priority. I am comfortable crating if that is requested. I will always respect your pet and your home.
“Kimberlee was great! She was responsive to my request. She was on time for both walks and sent pictures of Finn. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend that you book her as well.”
About: My family always had a pet dog. As a kid I would feed and walk dogs in the neighborhood while they were out of town. As I grew older I would stay at family or friend's homes if they went out of town. I'm in search of a similar situation in South Bend - dog walking and light housework included! Weekdays I can stop in and let the dog(s) out for bathroom breaks. On weekends/evenings I can stay at your home so that the dog is familiar and will make myself available 100% during that time. I prefer to stay or drop in to my client's home. I find that the dog is more familiar/comfortable this way too. I am happy to do a test run so that everyone feels comfortable/familiar!
About: I have many years of experience with household animals, family/friends pets, and various types! I am fluid with service animals as well as with animals requiring special care needs! I am currently open to job opportunities and have a pretty flexible schedule for the foreseeable future. I currently have a 14 year old maltese boy Unless specified otherwise, feedings are routine and scheduled based. Any medicines that need to be administered are taken care of. I have a big backyard, unfenced but have space to let pets out and roam on a long leash.

“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!”
“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. ❤️🫶🥰”
About: I have a Belgian Malanois who’s name is Beau. He is an Extremely passionate and caring dog with a high drive to learn. I have put In the time and effort to train and build our relationship as a family. I also have a Golden retriever and she couldn’t care less about anything other than love haha. I have a full time job, which ends at 2:00pm. From 2:00pm until bed I spend with my dog whether it be training, or walking. I spend a minimum of 2 hours a day training with Beau. I believe that your dog can fit right in and be in a comfortable, safe, home away from home. I do not have a fenced in yard yet but I’m outside every time my pups go out. If need be, I have leashes I can use to let your pup outside as well.
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
