Dog Sitting Valparaiso

About: I love all animals! I currently have a dog (Sarge) and cat (Momo), plus my family is full of animal lovers. I have been on Rover for 3 years now, and have 2 more years of experience watching my friends, neighbors, and family's pets. I also have past volunteer experience at an animal shelter. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am a university student on summer break and have pretty open availability! I do work a full time job during the summer at a daycare, so if you have any questions concerning that schedule please let me know :) On weekends I am completely available! Inquire for specific dates concerning availability and to see if I’d be a good match for your pet care needs ❤️ Your pet is my #1 priority when they are in my care! I am comfortable administering medication, handling puppies and high-strung dogs, using crates, and more! I am very open with my communication to pet owners and think it is incredibly important to update you throughout the visits :)

About: Ensure your pet feels safe and loved even when you're not home. My dedicated pet sitting services allow your furry friend to stay in the comfort of their own space. From regular dog walking to attentive care for your pets, I cater to their needs while you're out of town or just away for the day. With a focus on individual attention and affection, your pets will enjoy a stress-free experience. Book with me and give your pets the care they desereve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to give my full attention to each animal I look after. I visit clients’ pets before I start my work day and return directly afterward to ensure they stay on their regular schedule. On weekends — and on weekdays when I have extra time — I go beyond the basics by adding extra playtime, enrichment activities, or simply quality companionship for pets who value one-on-one attention. Whether they’re energetic explorers or calm cuddlers, I make sure each pet feels supported, stimulated, and loved every day their family is away. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure their routines and comfort come first. I provide fresh food and clean water, ensure they have proper potty breaks, and clean up any soiled areas to keep their space tidy and stress-free. Each visit includes 30 minutes to an hour of engagement — whether that’s active play, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed cuddle time depending on what the pet enjoys most. I also handle medication when needed, maintain clean litter boxes, and pay close attention to their overall well-being. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

“Laylani is amazing! Our pup LOVED her. She was dependable and caring and I felt so much better about being away. The communication and pictures were so reassuring and my kids excitedly awaited her reports. Highly recommend (just not on the days I need her 😂)!”

About: Grew up with cats and dogs. Had cats since 2008. Have a 8 year old black cat and a 6 year old Silver Lab. My dog is bonded to me. I’m normally working full time, so I can come in at the beginning and the end of the day to check up on them to feed and/or take out. I won’t be boarding pets, it will be in your home environment. I can take them out or spend time with them inside, what you choose.

“This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.”

Jill E.

“She did a great job with my fur babies! I also noticed when I got back from my trip that she swept up the litter, because I know they really kick it around the house. Very communicative & sent pics of them daily.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently have five. Taking care and raising dogs has always been something I love to do. We just had a litter of puppies that I helped raise and train. I am willing to take care of any dogs, as well as, walk them. I can care for puppies if needed! As I am home for break I am free any day of the week at any time. This will decrease once school starts again. I am willing to do late night and early morning visits as well. I am willing to deal with multiple dogs in a clients home. If dogs need to be walked separately I can do that as well. I am use to having to deal with different personalities of dogs and know that the clients know best. Whatever directions the clients give me I will be sure to follow.

About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and neighbors’ cats and dogs (and rabbits and ferrets) since I was a kid, and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have volunteered at an animal shelter as a dog caregiver, and have extensive professional experience with training and giving medicine/first aid to animals. I have plenty of patience and love to offer as well, and am always looking to learn more! I work with monkeys Tuesday-Saturday, so have nights after 5pm and Sunday and Mondays fully available. I can do overnight stays Saturday night-Monday. I always give pets a chance to get to know me when I first come into their home, and prioritize earning their trust so they are comfortable. I learned and practiced how to reduce stress in shelter animals and with my formerly feral kitty, which I also apply to any animals I’m meeting for the first time.

“I booked Claudia for a drop in visor just to let my dog out. She goes way above and beyond. She played with her and texted me updates and pictures.”

About: Hi, I'm Makenzie! Since I turned 18 I’ve worked as a Veterinary Technician, a kennel tech, at daycare/boarding facilities and I have pet sit for dozens of people throughout my life. That being said, I have experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats! From the smallest Chihuahuas to giant breeds, like Mastiffs. I've worked with the deaf, the blind and the sickly. I'm not excluding cats in any way, I've had my Calico since she was just a few weeks old and she’s my heart and soul! Animals are my passion and I'd love to be a part of your fur babies life! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have all day Monday-Friday to take care of your pets! Weekend availability is currently as needed. I care for your animals as if they were my own, making sure safety is my number one priority! As I do not offer in home services at my residence, I’ll see to it that your animals are safe, happy and healthy in their home and whenever we are exploring outside of it.

About: We have availability on days off it depends on our schedule but it will be constantly updated to ensure accuracy! We can still make exceptions. We have over 20 years of experience around dogs and cats as we both grew up with animals. We currently have three dogs, a rat, and a hamster! We rescued all of our dogs and know that rescues sometimes have a harder time adjusting to new people, we will never shy away from them, and we will take the time to make sure they are comfortable and accommodated. We have experience with animals of all ages and reactive animals too. We have had dogs of all sizes so no dog is too big! One of our dogs had a tough time adjust due to her being abused in her last home, we know how to be patient and kind to any and all animals. We have a special place in our hearts for animals and we will treat all animals as family. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works in the steel mills. Our schedule changes up a bit but since I stay at home we have a bit more availability. We can always make exceptions if they are a necessity. We will always make sure our calendar is up to date! We have always treated every animal we have had for been around like family! We absolutely love animals and always want to give them be best care possible. We want all the details on how you’d like us to take care of your pets! We don’t mind crating pets as we have crate trained two of our dogs!
