House Sitting in Wanatah

“Alexis treated my animals as if they were her own. She is trustworthy and has great communication skills. I’ll be contacting her again when I need an overnight stay!”

“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!”

“Ella took great care of our puppies, house-sitting while we were out of town. She fed/walked the dogs as requested and even brought in our mail, shoveled the snow in the driveway and took the garbage out before leaving! Truly a gem ✨”

“Brittany was responsible for taking care of my 6 pets while I was away on business trips and they absolutely loved her. She would send me picture updates and photos of them being happy or just lounging about, and I know they can be quite a handful. I would highly recommend Brittany every time! Her love for pets and her great communication skills make her an amazing pet-sitter to have helping out if you need drop ins while you are gone. 100% book this woman!”

About: Lifetime pet owner and caretaker of both puppies and senior dogs. I adore every four legged critters from the smallest chihuahua to the largest Dane. I make sure to tailor my care to exactly what your dog needs and have over a decade of volunteer experience under my belt. From walks to simply playing in the yard I'll make sure they get their physical activity in if need be without over exerting themselves. I have a car in case of emergencies as well as if you'd like me to take them to the local dog park. I am available for multiple check ins throughout the day if requested as well as longer visits for more skittish pets. I have a very open and flexible schedule due to my nature as a freelance worker. I can accommodate any schedule and am able to offer multiple check ins and longer stays as a result. I have the utmost respect for my clients homes and will do my best to meet their pets unique needs while taking care to respect their house and property. Any guidelines or requirements please just say! From leaving a light or a TV on for anxious critters to leaving out anything specific for an animals comfort. I also am fine to do overnight stays if a client is out of town for a while. I just need time throughout the day to make sure my kitties are taken care of. But I'd never be gone for long.

“Lilly is such a professional and was amazing with our cat. Baloo is a sweet kitty, but often doesn’t trust someone and sit on their lap right away— and he did with Lilly! I’m so impressed with her ability to connect with him. She gave us updates throughout the day and it made us feel at such ease. We are definitely having her care for Baloo again and again!!! Cannot recommend her enough.”

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.

“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”

“Holly sat for our boys and we arrived home to find them calm which is always a good sign. We later found out she had to contend with fireworks while we were gone, and they scare our pup terribly. This makes it more impressive that he was calm when we walked in. Very happy with how it went!”

“Meredith was an amazing sitter for my 3 cats. She was always so friendly and very reliable. I occasionally needed her to feed, water, clean the liter box and medicate my oldest cat while I was away for short trips. She even gave my cats extra love and attention and cared for them like they were her own. I highly recommend Meredith!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life I helped raise my parents dog, a four year-old Australian Shepherd named Eddy. I’ve dog sit and watched family and friends dogs, majority of my life. I really enjoy getting exercise and spending quality time with other peoples dogs, being able to socialize with them, play with them and get as much joy from them as I can. Im free in the afternoons Monday- Sunday. Also evenings my schedule is flexible. I live in Chesterton dune land area. I’m a animal lover but dogs are my favorite animals in general. I’ve got experience with many different breeds. From behavioral training - teaching dogs how to do tricks. From bathing and waking running swimming, I’ve got experience working with aggressive rescue to watching multiple dogs. I’m eager to help them no matter what the situation calls for. Thanks -Kyle. I’m currently working part time so I have extra time to earn extra income doing something I really love. It’s truly a dream job for me. I helped rise my parents 4 year old Australian Shepherd, i trained my dog to stay in the proximity of the yard when he was six months old he does not need a leash when we go on walks he stays by my side or within 100 yards. I’m very fortunate that I trained him early on at a young age so he knows the perimeter of the yard. He’ll also sit an watch the other neighborhood. Dogs play. He does not go into the their yards. He just sits at the perimeter of my yard and watches them play This is one something I’m extremely proud of.

About: I grew up with a pack of Hillbilly Hound Dogs (5+) my whole life, amongst fostering, and dog sitting while in high school. I’m currently a Dog Trainer for Petco in Highland and hoping to expand my career further in training soon! I’m currently working part time and soon enough full time. My days off vary, but I get out of work early throughout the week! I just moved here and while having much free time I’m looking to expand my circle of Furry friends. I live in unincorporated Valparaiso with 5 acres of land for your furry family to run around on! I live with 2 dogs and as long as your dog is comfortable they are more than welcome to play all together during they overnight stay!

“Bridget was very communicative, sent plenty of pics, and gave me regular updates! My 13 year old Boston Terrier was in great hands!”

“We are so grateful to Claudia for staying with our pup Luna over the Christmas holiday week! We know she takes really great care of our Luna! Thanks Claudia !”

About: I worked at a Doggy Day Care and Dog Boarding Camp where I would feed over 25 dogs, clean up after them, and rotate in yard/ outdoor time. I’ve taken care of multiple breeds, both big and small, and Dog sat for over 10 families. I have two dogs and bird and had a guinea pig growing up, which I work to take care of along with my family. Also while in college I worked at a Dog Camp where I would care for dogs and cats. I feed them, walk them, give them baths and clean up after them when they go to the bathroom or throw up. I will also play with them in the yard.

“Maggie was great, we will definitely use her again. She was responsive, friendly and sent photos and pupdates regularly.”
