“Our 2nd visit to Katelin. Fantastic communication. Really appreciated the adorable daily update photos! Keke had a blast with her friends and was well taken care of. :)”
“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!”
“Heather and family were great. Received updates and pictures throughout the stay. Jake and Belle made friends with her pets and already miss them! Awesome job! Will utilize Heather in the future for sure. Thank you!”
“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.”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“Ashley and Eric were absolutely wonderful! Trouble was only there a short time but he looked happy and extremely well taken care of. I will definitely be using them again if I need to go somewhere.”
“Heather was awesome! She took great care of Leo and was quick in communicating. We would definitely rebook and would recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming place for your pup! Thank you!”
“Wonderful family. Chloe came home happy and tired after 5 nights, just what we hoped for. Kelsi sent lots of pictures and is very relaxed and easy going. We highly recommend Kelsi and her husband!”
“We had a great experience! They took excellent care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. We really appreciated the regular messages and the pictures they sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care, and we will gladly use their services again in the future!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”

“I reached out to Raegan with a last minute request, and after a super prompt reply, and her asking all the right questions, we worked out a two-night stay for my dog at her place. She was easy to reach, kept me up to date on how things were going and sent pictures of my dog getting along splendidly with hers. She was flexible with our pick up time (because traffic is always a crapshoot) and Poppy looked happy when we got her. We will definitely keep Raegan on our list of great sitters!”

“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”
About: I have 12+ yrs of dog handling experience. Ranging from shelter dog foster and rehabilitation. To becoming a certified professional trainer and owning a successful cage free boarding facility in southern IN. Visit Sycamore Dog Estate on Instagram or Facebook for previous experience. We have since moved and hope to have a similar facility once again when schedules allow. As the owner of a small hobby farm with acreage I have time to dedicate to my own animals and those in my care. I sim to be as flexible as possible. We strive to provide an enriching and engaging environment for all dogs in our care. They will be treated as if one of our own. All dogs will receive appropriate exercise and mental stimulation with added bonus of home comforts.
About: I love dogs! I have three of my own at home that I have taken care of. I also have a cat who I love! I also have experience dog sitting for families. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and hanging out with other’s pets. I am an elementary teacher on summer break. My schedule is very open and flexible. I am available for walks, home visits, boarding, and more. I live in a house in Warsaw with a big yard for pets to go potty and walk on. I am also open to going to your house.
About: I am someone who loves pets of all types. I have years of experience with multiple types of animals and I love them all. If my pets could talk they would tell you to choose me. My job has multiple stretches of time off for me to care for your pets full time. If for whatever reason I am working on a time you are looking for a sitter I will always let you know my schedule in advance. But for the most part I will always be home. I have a decent yard. However, the yard is not fenced. I have 3 litter boxes in my home that are scooped daily as well as provide privacy. I have 3 cats who are all friendly with each other and love to play. Their ages are 4 years, and 2 of them are 7 months. All my pets are neutered and spayed. I also have a rabbit who loves to play with the cats as well. However, if you are uncomfortable with this idea he is also always willing to chill in his cage.
About: Growing up I lived on a farm. I had pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, dogs and cats. I have always had a love for animals of any kind. I’m currently a stay at home mom. With that being said I would be able to take care of your pet at any hour through out the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house because I have 2 dogs of my own. If I were to come to your house to take care of your dog, I would be sure to take the dog out on a leash so that the dog doesn’t run off.

“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!”
“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: Animal love was bred into me. My father grew up on a farm and my mother was a vet tech. I've had animals my entire life. I have been a dog breeder, a volunteer for shelters, I've worked in a pet store, I've helped operate a dog boarding facility for the past 15 1/2 years, and a dog groomer. I am different from others as I specialize in whole pet care, from health and nutrition going in, to calories being burnt off through exercise and play. A tired pet is a well behaved pet. I like to engage their minds while also allowing them the freedom to be a dog, though digging in the yard is a huge no no. I'd like to get to know your pet and love them as if they were my own. My husband and I freelance from home. So whether your pup needs daycare, a bath, an overnight stay or an extended stay, your furbaby has a place to go where they are treated like part of the family. My husband and I, offer our fur clients the freedom to roam our home or we can offer crate training if needed for their comfort or security.
About: I grew up on a small farm with a few farm animals along with a couple family dogs. I also worked at a dog boarding and training facility. While working there I gained a lot of knowledge about our fury friends. I can administer oral medicines, complete various types of meals, and watch for social cues I’m familiar with. I do not own any dogs of my own currently. My partner and I have a cat. She gets fed on a schedule, lots of playtime, and of course lots of snuggles. I miss working at the boarding facility and having daily interactions with amazing animals. I look forward to meeting your sweet pups. In my experience with animals I’ve learned to be very observant. I can keep an eye out for social cues while having fun and caring for your fur babies.

About: I have dog sat since high school and have always had a positive experience with it. Your babies will be loved on and cared for like they are mine. I have a dog and a cat who are spoiled! Your animals will be cared for so you don’t have to worry while you are off, because I am just as protective over my own! I worked at a K-9 training facility so I am very experienced with taking care of animals and cleaning up after them. I also worked at a grooming company for an internship and got to experience bathing, brushing and combing dogs! I also have experience with cats, as I just got one myself. I am also experienced with giving medication. Right now, pet sitting is my only gig so your animals will be taken care of and I will spend my time loving on them! Sometime in the near future I plan on becoming a substitute teacher, but for right now I really want to work with animals. I have a fenced in yard, it is pretty small but enough room for dogs to go potty. I have a very friendly, 3 year old Golden Retriever (Baker) and his best friend is a cat (Henry) who we recently adopted.
“Abbigail was great! She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Abbigail again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
About: Boarding- No longer offering boarding services. Drop in visits at your home- Flexible schedule and cats are welcome also! Play time, walk, feeding, bathing are all welcome activities.

No dog to small or big, I love all equally! 3 years of experience fostering for the Warsaw Animal Shelter including expecting mommas, newborns, bottle feeding, and special needs.

In your home visits and walks only. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Thanks!
“Natalie did phenomenal! I had no worries being out of town because I knew my fur babies were well taken care of. Definitely going to rebook with her the next time I have to go out of town 😊”
“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Hailey watching our two cats! She was incredibly professional, arriving at the same time each day and completing every task perfectly. Our typically timid cats loved her! They came out of hiding and were approaching her and asking for attention by day two! Her calm demeanor and warm personality clearly put them at ease. I especially loved the daily updates and the many photos she sent of them being playful and enjoying their time with her. Hailey is warm, caring, and reliable. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her services again in the future.”
About: I’ve been a a pet lover ever since I could remember. My first dog at 7 and many cats throughout my life. Once I turned 19 , I became a dog mom to two beautiful dogs who are now 8 & 10 years old and I’ve had them since they were both 8 weeks old!! Time sure flies by! I’m looking to take care of your fur babies the best way I know how and that’s with love and care! I know the importance of your fur babies health and I would love to step in as your helper while you’re away or at work and make sure your babies are fed and walked and played with! Can’t wait to hear from you :) I’m extremely flexible with my time during the summer! I know the importance of taking care of pets and I will ensure you that I will take care of your fur baby with alll of my best ability! Walking, playing, giving lots of love! I could even try and teach your pet some tricks as I’ve taught my dogs speak, sit, turn around, etc! I am fortunate enough to have a great yard in the country for my dogs to roam around and be dogs! I take my own dogs for walks all the time up and down the stretch of road we live on as well as visit dog parks so they can socialize with other dogs. However, with your dog, I can do the same. Dog parks, walks, fetch, loves of petting lol! You name it, I’d love to do it!
“Amanda is awesome! She was great with all our animals, and she wasn't intimidated by our giant great dane. She was very communicative and responded quickly. She is trustworthy and reliable, and we will definitely continue to use her for our pet care!”

“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!”
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 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 enough good things about Amy! She played enough to wear my high energy dog out! Vinny was so well taken care of, and she sent lots of pics and a video. All the updates were great and I was jealous that he was having so much fun while I was at work. I actually hope I get an occasion to use Amy again!”
“Raegan did a great job caring for our Maltipoo, Chrissy. She sent us photos of our pet and she is easy to communicate with. She has this bright, cheerful attitude and seem to be a genuinely caring person. Highly recommended and we will have her as Chrissy's pet sitter again for sure.”
“Kelsi and her family took really good care of my Axel. We took time to make sure her and her dog were comfortable with my dog. From the pictures I received, Axel made himself at home rather quickly. I really appreciate that! I would recommend Kelsi’s services and I plan to use her again 😊.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. My grandma raised and sold dachshunds for as long as I can remember. I helped her a lot growing up, from training them, feeding them, walking them etc. I have experience training puppies and also take care of elderly dogs. My dog I’ve had since my childhood turned 13 this year she’s super fragile and sweet. I have house sitted for friends and families over the years weather that was dogs or cats or all animals (I took care of horses too). I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, never met a dog I didn’t like. I make my own routine/schedule for work and so I can be pretty flexible as to when and how many times I see or walk your dog. I have a fenced in yard and about an acre of land for them to roam! We live in a good neighborhood and can take them for long walks around the lake! I can feed, walk, wash, train, and or play with your lovely dog◡̈
“Kayla was excellent and extremely flexible at coming an extra visit at late notice during the holidays. She took great care of our older English Bulldog and cat and we felt very comfortable and at ease while we were traveling for the holidays as she was great at sending us updates and some nice photos. Very responsive and followed all the nuanced needs of our aging bulldog. Highly recommend Kayla, would love to use again!”

In other people’s home, i try to respect their home as much as possible! I always make sure the dog or cat is well taken care of, everything is left as was or better, and the pets safety is my #1 concern.
“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”

About: I have grown up with at least two dogs in my house my whole life. I have experience with rabbits as well. Since coming to college I have missed being around animals!

About: Thanks so much for stopping by our page! ~ We’re a family of animal lovers who truly enjoy caring for pets. Visiting zoos and animal sanctuaries is one of our favorite things to do, and at home we have a pyredoodle and a bearded dragon. ~ This account was originally created when our son was 8 years old, and over the years it has grown into something he truly loves. Now at 15, he is the primary caregiver during stays. Pet sitting has been an incredible way for him to build responsibility, and he genuinely gets excited every time he has a booking. He has several consistent repeat clients and treats every dog like family—just like he does his “brother,” our pyredoodle. ~ Of course, my husband and I are always present and supervising to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. All communication and arrangements will go through me, and all earnings go directly to our son. ~ As we aren't on Rover to generate an income our profile may be different from other sitters.Please review the below to ensure we are the right fit for you and your fur baby. ~ Please review the details below to see if we’re a good fit for you and your pup: • We only host one dog at a time so your pet receives our full attention and care • If you have two dogs and one is very laid-back, feel free to message me—we may be able to accommodate • We do not use kennels unless requested • For puppies or dogs not yet potty trained, please provide diapers (with tail holes) ~ MEET & GREETS *Not required if your dog is friendly with other animals, as we only host one guest at a time. ~ For safety, we don’t share our home address until a booking is confirmed through Rover. This is just a precaution we follow, and Rover provides our address in the confirmation email once the booking is complete. For unconfirmed visits, we’re more than happy to meet at a nearby dog park first so everyone can meet and make sure it’s a great fit! ~ About our dog: Our pyredoodle (born November 2020) lives inside with us. He is playful, gentle, but he's not always interested in other dogs. He isn't aggressive. He'sa big jealous baby and just ignores them completely. He is also very submissive—so if your pup is more dominant, just keep in mind he may try to climb into my lap for safety (he’s a big guy 😊). ~ What to bring: Please send your pup with their leash, food, food bowl, and any comfort items. That said, many visiting pups prefer using our dog’s bowls, which is perfectly fine too! ~ Updates: I typically send daily updates with photos in the evening. For longer stays, updates may be every other day—but I’m happy to adjust based on your preferences. ~ At the end of the day, if you’re looking for a home where your dog will be treated like part of the family—with lots of attention, care, and love—we may be the perfect fit. We’d love to meet your pup! 😊 I work remotely and can easily accommodate most routines. My son goes to an online school and is here to play as soon as he finishes school in the morning. Our yard is fenced in with a vinyl fence. It's almost 1/2 acre. We do let our pup out by himself. If your pup digs under fences or is a Houdini that can climb over a 6ft please let us know. We let your pup stay in the house and roam the same as we do our pup. Also, we do not allow our dog on the furniture. He knows to stay off, but don't make a big deal out of it if your pup is more comfortable while they're with us.
About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets!

I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.

I can do full weeks just need to know ahead of time to be able to discuss with work! The best option is to have them at the client’s home, animals are always comfortable when at home and a place they know! It’s already scary that a stranger is in there house but much better than a scary car ride into a new house!

I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for.

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.

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 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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I love animals and I love being active so your dog will be sufficiently walked. I’ve been entrusted to give animals medications, including shots during some of my sitting experiences, so I am familiar with that. I’ve also taken care of homeowners’ plants/yards while they’ve been away! I’ve had many friends and families re-use me for their pets! I am a salaried employee at my job, so I am available to take your dog out throughout the day. If I am gone for work, it’s only about 2-4 hours at my actually office building. I live in Warsaw, so I’m close to Winona Lake, Grace College, and the lake itself. I have two cats of my own, so I’m not currently boarding animals at my house, but am able to do drop in visits, house sitting jobs and dog walking jobs!
About: Boarding- No longer offering boarding services. Drop in visits at your home- Flexible schedule and cats are welcome also! Play time, walk, feeding, bathing are all welcome activities. I love animals of all types and look forward to caring for you for baby. No dog to small or big, I love all equally! 3 years of experience fostering for the Warsaw Animal Shelter including expecting mommas, newborns, bottle feeding, and special needs. My home is flexible to your pets needs. If quiet and slow are needed more than running and exercise we will adapt. All ages from puppy to senior will be well cared for. In your home visits and walks only. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Thanks!

I currently have 3 small dogs that I have raised since puppies. I also have experience with walking and sitting large dogs for family. Whether they are puppies/kittens or senior cats/dogs I will take care of them and treat them with love and care. My days are usually split up between myself and my wife taking care of our dogs. We keep them on a schedule with feedings and trying to take them out as much as possible. I am always willing to walk dogs and keep any routine or schedule needed for them. Taking care of dogs is a daily routine for me. I have 3 dachshund that I split time with my wife taking care of them. We love to take them outside and either play with them or go for walks.

“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”

“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
