“Alexis was awesome and kept my Cali company while I had to be away. Cali sure is enjoying the toy Alexis gave her. I will be sure to use Alexis anytime I need assistance with Cali.”
“Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!”
“Niamh provided excellent care for my two cats while I was away. She made sure they had water, fed them some wet food, and cleaned their litter boxes. She made sure to also send me lots of photos of my kitties and gave them lots of love and pets. I highly recommend her!”
“Thanks so much for taking great care of them. It looks like Jasmine was more comfortable this time. She must have remembered you. And Leo got his exercise time with the laser light. Thanks again! I am going to book for next month now we made our plans 😊”
“Karsyn dropped in to play with our puppies during the middle of the day and administered their medications. She let them outside for a potty break and gave them plenty of snuggles.”
About: Expert Walker and Former Human Trainer for Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Every Walk is Safe, Structured, and Tailored to Your Dog. Sign Up Today! Having recently moved back to the area, I am highly flexible on hours and happy to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs or potential requests! I am comfortable doing drop-in appointments at your home to give your furry friends a break, but also understand this can be frightening for some pets! I will always go at their speed and respect boundaries in order to build a relationship on their terms.
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.
About: I currently work with small rodents, but was a vet tech for 2 years while in college. I have always loved animals. I have baby sat family, friends, and coworkers pets as well! I currently work full time, but I can do drop ins or walks at night or on the weekends! I do work some weekends, so my drop ins/ walks would have to be after work on those days :-) I will always make sure your pet is safe on walks or in your home! Will make sure they have full tummies and water bowls! Give them lots of love and play time! And if your dog is friendly, I could also bring my dog for them to have some social play time! (only with permission of course!)
“Shelby has been a blessing to us. After having another sitter back out in me last minute I found Shelby. She came in met the dogs and took over. We have a 6 month old, a 2 year old, and a 13 year old. They are all German Shepherds. The 13 year old is blind. Shelby has no problem handling all 3. We highly recommend her for your pets needs.”
“Meredith is absolutely the best she was so amazing taking care of our doggos! Even the little messes they made she did an amazing job taking care of them and even doing extra to clean up for us! I will recommend her to everyone!”
“Sam was awesome! She sent pics and the dogs Rover card and it really relaxed me to know my dogs were so well cared for when I was away from home. Thank you Sam for caring for my kids ?”
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 have grown up around pets my whole life and have been trusted with family/friends pets for many years. I am very active and love to play and walk with pets as I have had border collies as family dogs. Having had many, I am familiar with dogs of all ages and understand how each pet differs from one another. I am in between jobs currently and, therefore, have a lot of time on my hands. This leaves a lot of space for pet care throughout the week when I am not traveling. I am willing to be at the client’s home as often as requested to care for the pet. I am very communicative and will send owner updates throughout their time away.
About: I have multiple years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats of all sizes. I also enjoy taking walks and would love to take your pet to give them som extra exercise! I frequently take long walks with my dogs and would be happy to walk others pets to give them some extra exercise during the day. I can also pet sit as needed at client's homes. Because I have multiple pets of my own, I prefer to walk or pet sit near the home of the client. This also allows the pet to feel more comfortable as they are in their own space. I am attentive and reliable to the animals I care for.
