“Lanae was wonderful to our pup. She was willing to take him last minute, which saved us from missing our vacation. She took the time to update us regularly, and responded to any question I had promptly. She gave him all the love and attention he requires and I’m very grateful for that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“Wow! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katelin. This was our first time to use her and I’m so thankful we found her to care for our two dogs while we were out of the country for Spring Break. She made us feel so comfortable and her communication and picture she shared were just so sweet and we felt so good knowing our dogs were happy with her and her family. Thank you Katelin so very much!”

“I highly recommend Alejandra. She took great care of my Josie. She sent messages and pictures and videos. Her family gave Josie lots of love and she really enjoyed her walks and running around in the fenced in yard!”

“Jen and Larry are so kind and accommodating! And they gave me lots of updates on how my pup was doing so I could relax and not worry too much about her. Riley had a nice time playing”

“Josie greeted at our car when we arrived and picked up our sweet girl. Pepper took to her immediately and gave her kisses goodbye. Josie sent pictures and an update. We only needed their service for one night. She was knowledgeable about dogs and we felt comfortable with leaving our fur baby with Josie. If you are in the Elkhart, IN area, we highly recommend Josie. She took good care of little one.”

“This was our dog's 2nd stay with Lindsay. Bella came home very happy and well cared for. Lyndsey gave me a daily update with Bella's schedule. I am very pleased and, if Lindsey is willing, will return. Thanks so much!!”


“Lynnette provided excellent care for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She is very thorough and professional in her approach to care, and her home had a wonderful set up to make our dog's stay comfortable. Very quick response times on all communication and we received lot of updates and pictures to confirm he was having a good time. Highly recommend!”

“Tiffani was great with my Rudy. Treated him like her own. Great communication with me. Never worried for a minute that he wasn't having the best care. I know he had a great time because he was worn out when I picked him up. Not an easy thing to do with an active puppy like my Rudy. I would highly recommend Tiffani and will definitely have her look after him next time I am in town.”

“Lindsay was a great communicator and caregiver. We were updated daily with photos and notes of Rascal’s well being. We were called out of town for a funeral and she was able to provide last minute care. We will definitely use her again.”
“Chris is so easy to work with . Very accommodating . He was great with Lucky .He kept me informed and sent me pictures which made me feel at ease . We will definitely use Chris again ! Thanks again Chris !”

“Our dog can be a lot to handle, but Andrew put us totally at ease! His love of dogs is readily apparent and he sent frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout the weekend. Communication was easy, and most of all, our dog had so much fun! We will definitely use Andrew again.”

“Betty sent us texts and photos to keep us updated about our pup. Patches stayed with her for two days and two nights while we were in South Bend for game weekend. The host pups were very sweet and good companions for our dog. We would use this dog vacay again.”

“Paul and Kelly (and kids) did a great job caring for our puppies. When we arrived for pickup, our puppies were happy and energetic. Paul and Kelly were very receptive to following our dogs’ schedules. We will definitely take them back to Paul, Kelly and the kids!”

“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!”

“I had to find a dog sitter last minute for my trip and I turned to Rover. Odie and I were so lucky that Faith was able to watch him. She was absolutely wonderful with him and sent pictures throughout my trip. Odie had the best time and made some best friends! After meeting, I knew I was leaving my fur baby in the best of hands. Odie and I both highly recommend Faith!”

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”

About: I worked with dogs and cats for the past 6 years at a kennel and a rescue. I have one cat of my own and love dogs so much! I’ve watched family friends pets on occasion as well!

“Hanna is awesome! I am glad she has been there for me all of this time, and will miss her when she moves. Anyone who needs someone to look after their babies near her new home would be more than pleased with her responsiveness and understanding. Thanks Hanna for all you’ve done!”


“Lorissa was very good with my fur babies while my husband and I were gone on vacation for 4 days. she followed my Instructions very well. Gave the dogs their meds every other day, she was patient with my Cowy while he was stressed. We really appreciate the updates and photos she sent to us regarding poop reports, feedings and water intakes each visit. I’ll definitely recommend Lorissa to take care of your fur babies too.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family
About: I worked with dogs for the past 5 years at a kennel and I have 5 dogs of my own! I’ve watched my grandparents pets on occasion as well! I am on the hunt for a part time job so I’m pretty available as of right now and I’m look forward to spending time with your pets! I will monitor your pet on potty breaks and be observant during walks! I will follow whatever rules you have set in your home/for your pet!

“Very accommodating boarding our house cat who had never boarded at someone else's house before. Great experience all around, will definitely be booking with Madeline again!”

“I really appreciate Devin’s availability and willingness to respond to me when I blew up her phone ;) I literally could not find a pet sitter in this area that would respond to me. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs, and so it was nice to have someone who responded so quickly. (On a semi-unrelated note to pet sitting, she also took really cute pictures of my dogs which was helpful to my daughter while we were gone).”

About: I’ve always had dogs, ever since I was born, so I have a LOT of experience! I have been trusted with my friends’ pets as well, going over to their houses to take care of the dogs and play with them! I am working part-time right now, so I have pretty good flexibility when it comes to needing someone to come and take care of your pets. I can do some weekends and weekdays. I am not available Wednesday evenings after 4. I will feed them (a certain amount of times a day if that is what you normally do) and make sure they have plenty of water. If they normally go in a crate during the day/at night, I can do that for you as well.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for a little over 6 years now . I first started with dog walking and realized how much I enjoy being with animals and taking care of them. I’ve watched dogs and cat for family and friends. I’d love to start caring for animals more so I can eventually turn it into a full time job. I’m currently working a full time job. I get off of work around 3:30 or 4:00 and I go in at 8:00 AM. I will mostly be watching animals after I get done with my job. I would mostly be watching animals in the clients home as my home is not set up to have pets in it as of right now.

About: I grew up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix and loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit, I love to walk them both! I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for them. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, and have switched careers to work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family! I have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule is open and flexible - I can be available almost any time with some notice. Send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP! I will ensure to adhere to any dog schedules/routines, send regular photo/text updates upon client request, and care for your dogs like my own. I will do everything in my power to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect frequent and thorough communication - don’t be afraid to leave detailed lists/notes of exactly how you want your dog cared for. I will do my best to mimic how you care for your pet to ease any distress and make your absence as enjoyable as possible for them.
“I can’t say how impressed I am with Tammie. I was visiting family and am from Iowa, Tammie was more then accommodating and welcoming. I could tell she likes what she does and cares about her canine clients. Her home is set up for the dogs and, even with multiple dogs, stays clean. My Corgi was comfortable right way. I used Tammies daycare twice, the second time my Corgi couldn’t wait to get in the door. I will be using Tammie services whenever I visit, no question about it!”

At a clients home I will care for them in the best way I possibly can.
“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: Besides being the go-to dog sitter for neighbors and family ever since I can remember, the past 30+ years I have fostered Golden Retrievers for 3 rescue groups, specializing in seniors and dogs with a not so pleasant past. In the past I have owned Dachshunds, German Shorthair Pointers, German Shepard mix, and of course Golden Retrievers. Being retired, I am able to give my dogs and my guest dogs plenty of attention with lots of activities to keep everyone busy. My dogs enjoy a large fenced yard to run in, a fire pit for late night bon fires, and a deck to lounge around. I offer $ 5 off for two dogs from same family, boarding or daycare. All FRIENDLY dogs welcome. FOR DOG BOARDING, DROP OFF TIME IS BEFORE4PM, PICK UP IS BY 11AM !!! All photos will be sent directly to pet owners, NOT through Rover. Drop in visits are for Warsaw only.
“My husband was traveling several trips to the Bristol area for business. There are not any options for dog daycare with a national chain so I found Josie & Michael on here. The BEST dogsitters we have ever had for Jr. They treated him just like he was their pet plus every morning, he would almost shake his tail off when he would see Josie at the door. So if you live in the Bristol area or traveling there, please check out Josie & Michael for your fur baby sitter.”
About: Six years of experience working as a pet sitter. Advanced knowledge of animal behavior. The ability to care for different animals of various sizes and breeds. I am currently a student that works from home. I have a lot of time to take care of your pet. My dog is my buddy and I love spending time with him. I have a fenced yard and a lovely Labrador Retriever that likes to play with your fur baby. I live next to a nice trail.
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.
“Lindsay was amazing! She took such good care of my puppy who is usually scared and timid but didn’t want to leave her at the end of the weekend! So thankful for her care and you will not regret having Lindsay as your sitter!”

About: I grew up with cats & dogs. We always had at least two in our house as kids and I've owned lots and lots of pets with human names. Since I’m a teacher I am available all summer long. I am an early riser and can accommodate all times you may need for your pets My pets get walked four times a day and seem to be my mode of exercise. I can accommodate early and late hours in particular.
“Very easy to communicate with and drop off/pick up was very smooth. Our girl is timid in new areas but it sounds like she adjusted well! She was all tuckered out when she got home! Would for sure book Chris 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 💕
“Lyndsey did a great job with our dog, Daisy! The pictures she provided were super cute and it felt good to know that someone was watching her while I was at work and my husband was away. I will definitely re-book with her should we need doggy daycare in the future!”

“Jamie was wonderful! Her communication was excellent, she sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the day. My dogs came home so happy and tired, I know they had such a fun time.”


“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 dogs and cats since I was a child and have always grown up in a very pet friendly household with 2 cats and a dog. My cat I have now is 11 and I’ve had him since he was a kitten and my dog is now 5 who I have also had since she was a puppy. I’ve got experience in dog obedience as well. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and board their pets in the past. I already take my dog on walks and runs daily and I’m currently very flexible for the next few weeks while on summer vacation as a teacher. I will be able to keep your pet company and give lots of attention in the form of going on walks, throwing the ball, feeding, grooming if necessary, etc. I currently cannot board other pets as I have a cat of my own and don’t want to risk him being stressed or attacked by overly excited dogs!

“Melanie was very responsible and Roxy loved her! She took her on an extra long walk and fed her and left everything very tidy and clean. Melanie is very communicative and highly trustworthy! I recommend her fully!”

About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.
About: I’ve always had dogs, ever since I was born, so I have a LOT of experience! I have been trusted with my friends’ pets as well, going over to their houses to take care of the dogs and play with them! I am working part-time right now, so I have pretty good flexibility when it comes to needing someone to come and take care of your pets. I can do some weekends and weekdays. I am not available Wednesday evenings after 4. I will feed them (a certain amount of times a day if that is what you normally do) and make sure they have plenty of water. If they normally go in a crate during the day/at night, I can do that for you as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and now as an adult rescuing cats I have plenty of experience with animals! I’ve cared for lots of senior animals, and kittens!

I’m most available during evenings and weekends, which allows me to give pets my full attention without rushing. Whether it’s evening feedings, walks, playtime, or weekend check-ins, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care that works perfectly for both your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. From secure handling and attentive supervision to maintaining a calm, clean space, I make sure pets feel protected and at ease. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pets, creating an environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely cared for while you’re away.

If you would like to know more please message me and I would be happy to answer. I do also have a Facebook page Howling Hounds Pet Care. Unfortunately my prices have increased due to Rover taking 20%. Please note i am willing to work with people on pricing if contacted PRIOR to services. I am currently doing this as my full time employment as I go to school for pet grooming in the spring. I am an owner to 4 crazy beagles so I know what it's like to make sure pets have the stress free environment when we are gone. All pet care is done in the client's home. This creates more calmness within the pet and less stress. They can be where they are used to.
About: With being in the Veterinary field, I hope my career path of being a Registered Veterinary Nurse brings you comfort when caring for your pets. I not only will treat yours like my own, but also will be able to recognize if your furry family member may need to visit the doctor. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16 and truly have such a passion to help animals in every aspect. I work 3.5 days a week and I’m super flexible! I am able to leave during my lunch hour as well to make sure your pets needs/routine is met. With my knowledge and experience I am able to handle your pet in a fear free way. My goal is not to be a stranger but to become friends with your furry loved ones.
About: I brought home my first puppy of my own, Tucker, almost 2 years ago! He is my very best bud and I work diligently to make sure I’m raising him right! I love dogs of all sizes and love getting to spend time with them. I’ve attend quite a few dog training sessions to be prepared for certain situations! I’d love to help take care of your pup while you’re away! I work 8-3, but I let my dog out during my lunch break everyday! Your pup won’t be kept inside for more than 4 hours at a time. Once I’m home, I spend lots of time walking my dog or playing outside in the backyard! After doing a meet & greet, I am perfectly comfortable coming to your house to watch over your pups for you! If you would like me to keep them at my house, I would like to do a meet and greet with my own pup to make sure both of them feel comfortable with each other! I have a fenced in backyard and way too many toys!

“Lanae was wonderful to our pup. She was willing to take him last minute, which saved us from missing our vacation. She took the time to update us regularly, and responded to any question I had promptly. She gave him all the love and attention he requires and I’m very grateful for that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“Wow! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katelin. This was our first time to use her and I’m so thankful we found her to care for our two dogs while we were out of the country for Spring Break. She made us feel so comfortable and her communication and picture she shared were just so sweet and we felt so good knowing our dogs were happy with her and her family. Thank you Katelin so very much!”

“I highly recommend Alejandra. She took great care of my Josie. She sent messages and pictures and videos. Her family gave Josie lots of love and she really enjoyed her walks and running around in the fenced in yard!”

“Jen and Larry are so kind and accommodating! And they gave me lots of updates on how my pup was doing so I could relax and not worry too much about her. Riley had a nice time playing”

“This was our dog's 2nd stay with Lindsay. Bella came home very happy and well cared for. Lyndsey gave me a daily update with Bella's schedule. I am very pleased and, if Lindsey is willing, will return. Thanks so much!!”

“Tiffani was great with my Rudy. Treated him like her own. Great communication with me. Never worried for a minute that he wasn't having the best care. I know he had a great time because he was worn out when I picked him up. Not an easy thing to do with an active puppy like my Rudy. I would highly recommend Tiffani and will definitely have her look after him next time I am in town.”

“Lindsay was a great communicator and caregiver. We were updated daily with photos and notes of Rascal’s well being. We were called out of town for a funeral and she was able to provide last minute care. We will definitely use her again.”
“Chris is so easy to work with . Very accommodating . He was great with Lucky .He kept me informed and sent me pictures which made me feel at ease . We will definitely use Chris again ! Thanks again Chris !”

“Our dog can be a lot to handle, but Andrew put us totally at ease! His love of dogs is readily apparent and he sent frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout the weekend. Communication was easy, and most of all, our dog had so much fun! We will definitely use Andrew again.”

“Paul and Kelly (and kids) did a great job caring for our puppies. When we arrived for pickup, our puppies were happy and energetic. Paul and Kelly were very receptive to following our dogs’ schedules. We will definitely take them back to Paul, Kelly and the kids!”

“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!”


“Kimberlee took the best care of our two dogs!! We received pictures and updates every day and they seemed so happy and loved! I am definitely going to rely on Kimberlee again to watch them when we go out of town!!”

“Very friendly and accommodating. Clean house and taken care of. She was able to accommodate an extra night due to travel issues. 10/10 would recommend and book again. Sent daily pictures and videos as well.”

“Fantastic! She took great in-home care of our high energy pups who usually struggle with separation anxiety - they did not! They were happy and well adjusted when we returned. She even replaced their treats - above and beyond. Thank you!”


“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!”
“Heather was a tremendous host to my little maltipoo for over a week! She sent photos and updates throughout the week and responded promptly. She even accepted another additional day at short notice due to a flight change of mine. She also gave my dog a bath on his last day! Highly recommend using Heather for your pet sitter needs!”

“My last pet sitter canceled last minute and everything went to crap as my cat pepper "drama king screaming demon" needs medicine for his stomach and anxiety in his old age. Sonny took my black fur ball of rage and distrust and made sure he had his medicine and space as pepper can be a bit "much" she gave lots of pictures and updates and was available within 2 days of booking which I desperately needed. She also worked with me as my family trip had gotten derailed when our car broke down and was willing to watch him for a bit longer as we figured out how to get home. She builds a great rapport and I can tell her own animals adore her and are VERY well socialized. Her kitten peaches ran up to me wanting to say hi and her dog ham was not aggressive in the least meeting me for the first time, he just wanted pats!”
