House Sitting in Valparaiso

“Hannah is seriously the best! One of our dogs had an unexpected medical issue that came up (not requiring a vet) hours before we were supposed to leave town and Hannah was comfortable keeping a close eye on him and keeping us updated throughout the weekend. She’s our go-to sitter!”

“I cannot possibly say enough awesome things about my experience with Eli!! He stayed at our home with our fur baby and kept us updated everyday. I received updates, pictures and videos which made me so happy and also helped me relax and enjoy my vacation even more knowing that my fur baby and house were in such good hands! I will absolutely use Eli again and refer him to others as well!”

“Savannah was amazing with my 2 pups. She’s so kind and definitely loves animals! I loved getting pictures throughout my work day. She spent the day at my house while I was at work and respected my home. She is also very punctual! Thanks, Savannah- Can’t wait to have you back!”

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

“Emily and her little chihuahua stayed at our home for a week taking care of our dachshund and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and also took really good care of the house. I could hardly tell that she was here when we got back. We will definitely use her again!”

Sandy M.

“Payton was wonderful with our Otis! We came home to a very happy pup who is usually depressed while we are gone. She sent lots of pictures and was very interactive with him, and we could tell that when we got home, he was very well fed and taken care of. We would recommend her anytime!”

Laura C.

“Stephanie was so great with our puppies. She sent me pictures of my babies, she played with them and kept my house clean! I really appreciated her care of my babies!”

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs from sizes and breeds since I was a kid. Throughout my life I’ve had several dogs all types of different breeds and sizes, from a mastiff to a miniature poodle. So, I have lots experience in dealing with dogs in different ranges with breed,size, and age. I also have experience with cats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am working full time currently, I am off on the weekends unless and normally completely free these days. I work during the day most days. I usually work evenings one day out of the week,tuesdays. I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats. With my dog we feed him in the morning and evening, throughout the day I usually play with my dog let him out to go potty, and a couple walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I also feed my cats morning and night and play with them throughout the day and clean their litter box in the evening.

“Kimberly was so attentive to all of our dogs needs! She made sure they were safe, happy, & healthy. We have more high maintenance dogs and she was the perfect sitter for them. In addition to making sure our dogs were perfectly taken care of, she went above and beyond with house sitting too! My house is going to be sad I’m back because Kimberly took such great care of the house and garden! 🥰”

About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“Erica was the best! Super responsive and sent pictures of our fur babies every day. They were very happy the entire time we were gone. I would definitely recommend Erica and we will be using her I the future.”

“Ania took excellent care of our cats and home. I absolutely recommend Ania for her clear communication, responsible care and use of every single cat toy in the basket!”

About: I've had my own dogs since I was 4, so I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, understanding their needs, and ensuring they're happy and healthy. I'm currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet sitting, ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day/week. I'll follow any specific instructions given by the pet owners, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure pets are comfortable and happy by sticking to their routines.

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!

“Meredith did a great job with our two dogs, a four year old and a rambunctious four month old, and our 14 year-old cat. She handled our little circus with no issues!”

About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them. I started doing Rover about 4 years ago, but had to stop due personal reasons and now I’m back on here. I have done multiple sittings before, so I can assure you I know what I’m doing and you will be pleased. I have worked with all types of dogs/cats. Pictures included in my profile: My own dog, some of the pets ( not all) that I have sat for, and pictures of myself. Just graduated from college a couple months ago. Still on the market for a job, so I am available every day of the week as of right now. Once I get a job, my schedule will change. I have a lot of experience with oral medication and shots with my own pets, so If you need that as well it won’t be a problem. I’ve had to crate my dogs before so I could do the same with yours if needed. I like to walk my dogs a lot and be very active with them, so if that’s what you need then i’m your guy.

About: I have been on Rover for over a year now, and I’ve taken care of a few dogs in different places! I’m a huge animal lover, and I also volunteer at a local animal shelter. I love to play with animals and love to exercise, so I’m looking forward to walking your dog! I work full time, but if I can make time to drop by to walk your dog or feed your pets, I absolutely will do so! 😊 I love to exercise and explore, so I would be willing to walk wherever you like to take your dog to walk normally! I am a dog lover so I love to play with them.
