“Andrew did a good job with my quirky little Maltese mix. He's clearly a dog lover and my Cooper seemed to fit right in. Appreciated the occasional picture or video. I will definitely use Andrew in the future.”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Tiffani was great to work with! She was very responsive and flexible when we had to adjust our pick up time. Our dog was exhausted (in a good way!) when we picked him up. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches.”
“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!!! 🫶🏼”
“My Buddy had such an amazing time with Emily & Ryan and their 2 fur babies! They were so kind and accommodating when I had to bump the time up for our meet and greet. I believe we have found Buddy a new home away from home!!! Thanks again guys you are amazing and I can’t wait to bring him back :).”
“Callie's stay with Pamela was fantastic! Pamela's house is in a great location - close enough for us to drop Callie off before a flight out of South Bend airport but far enough to be on a quiet wooded street that's very dog friendly. Pamela sent us daily updates and pictures over the weekend so we knew Callie was well cared for !”
“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!”
“Kim and her whole family took amazing care of Pulcinella and Steve! She kept me up to date of their activities with lots of pictures. The boys had an amazing visit!”
“Thank you Chris for going above and beyond! Scheduling was easy, communication with Chris was amazing. pick up time was moved due to a large accident on the way home and Chris was very patient and accommodating”
“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”
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
“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.”
“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Lindsay was really great with our husky. She updated me with pictures and communicated well, my dog came home tired so that’s a good thing! I would definitely book with her again (:”
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.
“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.”
About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“Haley is AMAZING! She took care of my 15 week old puppy last minute, and was super communicative. She sent photos and updates, as well as took him to socialize and made sure he was well taken care of. THANK YOU!”

“Emily goes above and beyond with every visit, so thankful to have found the right person to take proper care of my cat, including some much needed playtime.”
“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!”
“Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)”
“Our other sitter fell through at the last minute so we reached out to Christina to see if she could watch our kitties and thankfully she said yes! She took excellent care of them and we could not recommend her more!”
“Carmen has been such a wonderful sitter for us. She has really put our mind at ease when we need someone to check in on our two dogs. She has great communication and understands their different personalities! We highly recommend Carmen if you are need of a pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
“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.”
“Alyssa was a great cat sitter for my three cats over thanksgiving break. She was very friendly, easy to work with and went above and beyond anything I could have expected. She reliably came every visit I scheduled, sent me photos and provided daily updates. This helped me relax and focus on my trip. When I returned home, my cats, who are used to me being home all day with them, were happy and everything looked exactly as it did when we left. I would definitely use her again.”
“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: 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.
“Janelle takes excellent care of my cat, Merry. I had to add a day and a half to the end of my vacation and luckily for me Janelle was available to continue checking in on Merry. The photos and messages she sends ease any anxiety about leaving my cat.”
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. Any cancellation less than 7 days before stay begins will result in no refund provided.
“Heather checked in on my cat once a day, for a total of 9 days while I was out the country. She made me feel at ease knowing everything back home was okay. My cat quickly came out his shell and was playful and talkative with her which let me know he was comfortable and content with her. I appreciate her and would definitely consider using again in the future. So I absolutely would recommend her to others.. Thanks again Heather, was a pleasure meeting and having you.”

“We just boarded Lucy with Andrew and Jane this past weekend and couldn’t wait to bring her back for daycare. She made so many new friends and we will be booking weekly moving forward!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.”
“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.”
“I’m a first time puppy parent and Chris made it so stress free for my puppy’s first daycare experience. He was only there for a few hours but he is already asleep at home so I know he had a great time! We will definitely be booking with Chris again when I need a daycare!”
“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.
“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 a wonderful dog sitter while we attended a wedding. She was thoughtful and communicative, sending us plenty of pictures of Maeve after her stay. When we mentioned we missed her and would love a few photos during daycare, Michaela was so understanding and sent a couple sweet pictures in the moment that really put our hearts at ease. Highly recommend and if we’re ever in the area again we will book again!”
“Katherine was great. She took great care of Snuggles. We have an older dog and she made sure she was comfortable with her dogs before we dropped her off. As a bonus she gave her a bath so she came house fluffy and smelling good.”
“We were very pleased with the care our beagle received. Her back yard is fenced which allowed Spencer to be outside without a leash, which he loves. Will use her again, absolutely!”
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!
“My fur babies had such a great time with Desmond! He was kind enough to take them in last minute and made me feel so comfortable. You could tell he really cared for them. I will definitely use him again soon!”

About: From a young age, my life has been enriched by the companionship of both cats and dogs, nurturing a deep love and understanding of animals. Growing up with a King Charles Cavalier and now sharing my days with a beloved golden retriever, I've developed a profound connection with these furry friends. My personal experiences have instilled in me a natural instinct for pet care, from the joy of playtime to the responsibilities of feeding and grooming. Beyond my own pets, I've extended my passion for animal care into professional realms, providing attentive and compassionate sitting services for other pet owners. Each interaction has reinforced my commitment to the well-being and happiness of every furry client, ensuring they receive the same level of care and affection as my own companions. What sets me apart as a sitter is not only my genuine love for animals but also my ability to tailor care to meet the unique needs of each pet. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized attention to senior dogs, or simply offering a warm lap for cuddles, I take pride in going above and beyond to create a safe and enriching environment for every furry friend entrusted to my care. With me, your pet isn't just a client – they're family. Weekend availability: full time to watch your pet. Weekday: 90% full time availability, I am a part time yoga teacher who teaches a couple classes a week. In my home or my client's home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for pets under my care. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and walking schedules, providing ample playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe living space. I also make sure to administer any necessary medications or treatments as directed by the pet owner. Additionally, I offer personalized attention and affection to each pet, making them feel loved and secure while they're away from their owners. Whether it's overnight stays, daily check-ins, or dog-walking services, I strive to meet the unique needs of every pet and maintain open communication with their owners to ensure peace of mind.

“We love Emily and our fur-babies love her even more!! Emily offers loving and compassionate care to our two dogs every week and we are very grateful for her. Emily communicates extremely well and is very responsive whenever we have changes or questions. Thank you Emily!”
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 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.
“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!!”

“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: I have over three years of experience providing pet walking and house-sitting services, caring for a wide range of animals with reliability and compassion. I am passionate about working with pets of all kinds and committed to ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being. I have two dogs of my own that I care for on a daily basis, giving me hands-on experience in providing consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize the comfort, routine, and well-being of each animal. For dog walking, I ensure they get regular, safe, and stimulating walks based on their energy level and needs. For pet sitting, I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise schedules provided and make sure they have plenty of companionship and attention. Additionally, I keep the home clean and provide regular updates to the owner. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining the owner’s peace of mind.
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: 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’m patient, responsible, and detail-oriented, so I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress-free. 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.
“Took great care of my corgi puppy, Rudy! Very punctual and spend extra time with him playing after his walk. Followed all care instructions and couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much Lily!”
“My dog is so picky, and she was so patient with him! Took care of him like he was her own dog. Showed him love, and he was just as excited to see her as he is to see me, so that says a lot about Kaitlyn! I will definitely consider her in the future if I need someone to care for and walk my fur baby. Excellent service!”
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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.
About: Ive always known my love for animals since I was very little, especially dogs. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter a few years ago and loved every minute of it. Animals are misunderstood and some haven’t experienced real love from a human. I’ve worked with puppies to older dogs, big and small. Anything from walking, bathing and some commands I was able to teach. I’m no expert though. I do have one dog of my own and I’m currently fostering for Heartland Rescue to get more hands on. I want to take this to the next level and now care for dogs full time if possible. As I continue this, I will open up more services. You’re pet will feel loved by me even when you're away, as if you never left. I do have a third shift job as well so my schedule at the moment is limited but I make sure to keep it up to date every week. If you are unsure, feel free to ask! The same love, joy, and patience that you show to your pet is the same that I will do. I will also keep the same routine you have for your pet if that is what you would like.
About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!

I believe we have found Buddy a new home away from home!!! Thanks again guys you are amazing and I can’t wait to bring him back :).”
“Callie's stay with Pamela was fantastic! Pamela's house is in a great location - close enough for us to drop Callie off before a flight out of South Bend airport but far enough to be on a quiet wooded street that's very dog friendly. Pamela sent us daily updates and pictures over the weekend so we knew Callie was well cared for !”
“Kim and her whole family took amazing care of Pulcinella and Steve! She kept me up to date of their activities with lots of pictures. The boys had an amazing visit!”
“Thank you Chris for going above and beyond! Scheduling was easy, communication with Chris was amazing. pick up time was moved due to a large accident on the way home and Chris was very patient and accommodating”
“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”
“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Lindsay was really great with our husky. She updated me with pictures and communicated well, my dog came home tired so that’s a good thing! I would definitely book with her again (:”
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.
“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.”
About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“Haley is AMAZING! She took care of my 15 week old puppy last minute, and was super communicative. She sent photos and updates, as well as took him to socialize and made sure he was well taken care of. THANK YOU!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.
“Kyle took care of our dog for an entire month while we were away on a trip, and he did an absolutely fantastic job. Our dog has separation anxiety and needs a lot of attention, but Kyle went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable. He gave her plenty of love and treats - she was clearly happy and well cared for in his home. His house has a spacious, fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play freely. We had a previous bad experience of our dog being in a Pet Hotel (which by the way was twice as expensive as Rovers), as she was very sick and unhappy when we took her back. However, with Kyle it was different, as she was as happy and healthy as she is with us when we took her back. We are so grateful for Kyle’s care and will definitely reach out to him for any future trips. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
