Dog Sitting in Valparaiso

“Finding Nancy has been such a blessing. Words I would use to describe her are: professional, prompt, honest, thorough, caring, and compassionate. I have used her services twice now, and feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my babies. I received daily pictures and notifications from her, and anytime I contacted her she was quick to respond, day or night. She is a keeper in my book and if you are in need of pet care, I give her 5 stars ⭐️”

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.

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 :)

“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: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even chickens for more than 6 years! I’ve cared for pets for more than 15 families in the Valpo, Chesterton, and Crown Point areas. I love going for long walks and would be the perfect walking buddy for your dogs! I work remotely during the week, which allows me to be very present with your pets if you are gone on a trip. I work remotely full time, so I can be available any time during the day for overnight petsitting! I can be available in the mornings or late afternoons/evenings for dog walks. I don’t offer overnight stays for pets in my home, but I have a lot of experience petsitting and housesitting for families when they are gone on trips!

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.

“Brooklyn was awesome and my cats loved her. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent over 35 years caring for them and truly understand what makes each one unique. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to their individual needs and routines. I also use positive reinforcement training methods to encourage good habits in a gentle, effective way. Your dog’s happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priorities. My job is basically part-time and flexible and I make my own appointments, so I can fit in long or short pet walks or drop ins visits on a daily basis. I would be available for both long and short walks. I can also provide drop-ins which may require feeding, medications and giving fresh water and love for your pets.

About: I have years of real-life experience caring for family dogs. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines. I enjoy being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I'm newly retired and love staying active, which makes pet care a great addition to my routine. I have flexibility and can easily accomodate your pet's schedule. I take the safety of your pets and the security of your home very seriously. I follow all instructions for medication, feeding and exercise as well as keeping doors and gates secure. I will monitor pets closely to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I also provide photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well-cared-for while you're away.
