“Michelle was wonderful! She dropped in to feed & care for my Kitty while I was out of town for 10 days. First time I’ve left him alone with a “stranger” but he came out from hiding and took to her from day one! That’s never happened even with family members he has seen previously! Loved the daily message and photos. I highly recommend Michelle. She can be trusted to care for your special pet and goes above & beyond to report potential concerns with the house/property too ! She will definitely be my first choice for future trips!”

“My girls didn't even bark the first time they met Christina. They knew she was a good safe person. They get happy and calm every time she walks in. She is on time and they're good and tired when they return from their walks.”

About: As a Notre Dame student and proud Maltipoo owner, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve also spent 4 years working at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love spending time with animals! As a full-time Notre Dame student, I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends. However, I do have some flexibility during weekdays depending on my class schedule and can often accommodate drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays with advance notice. I’m committed to being reliable and communicative so you always know your pet is in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household preferences. I treat every home with respect, by keeping it clean and exactly as I found it. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
“Heather checked in on my cat once a day, for a total of 9 days while I was out the country. She made me feel at ease knowing everything back home was okay. My cat quickly came out his shell and was playful and talkative with her which let me know he was comfortable and content with her. I appreciate her and would definitely consider using again in the future. So I absolutely would recommend her to others.. Thanks again Heather, was a pleasure meeting and having you.”

“Emily took amazing care of my timid cats! They felt comfortable with her and she followed directions to the T! Her communication skills are also superb. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Mariah watched my dogs while I went out of town visiting family, and she made the entire trip completely stress-free when it came to my pets. She took care of them as if they were her own and went above and beyond my expectations. The area where my dogs stayed was also very clean and well kept, which gave me even more peace of mind. I felt reassured knowing they were in such great hands the entire time. I would absolutely rebook her anytime 10/10 service and highly recommend! Thank you again!!!🩷”

“Alyssa took great care of our 13-year old cat while we were away. She sent pictures daily and our normally reluctant cat took to her right away. We will definitely book Alyssa again the next time we need a sitter.”

About: I have many years of experience with household animals, family/friends pets, and various types! I am fluid with service animals as well as with animals requiring special care needs! I am currently open to job opportunities and have a pretty flexible schedule for the foreseeable future. I currently have a 14 year old maltese boy Unless specified otherwise, feedings are routine and scheduled based. Any medicines that need to be administered are taken care of. I have a big backyard, unfenced but have space to let pets out and roam on a long leash.
“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”

“Ashlee is the best! She has been the only person I have trusted to come to let my pups out, feed them and just love on them when we’re gone. This time was a spur of the moment thing and she was awesome! We are so grateful for her kind self and her love for our babies!!!”

About: In addition to our current two dogs and barn cats, we have taken care of family pets and have been trusted dog- and cat-sitters for friends and family since we were teenagers (probably a fair bit more than 10 years, but who's counting!). We are experienced with giving medications, special feeding needs, bathing, etc. We have a large, fully-fenced area of our property with lots of space to sniff and explore. We take walks around our neighborhood and the back of our property in addition to lots of running around the yard! Flexible work schedules mean we can care for pets during the week and on weekends! With any extra dogs, our yard becomes a fun dog park, so we would love to temporarily have your dog join the bunch! Our property has a large, fully-fenced yard (~0.25 acres), so it is an excellent place for dogs to run around and play. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play with other pets and humans. We know that many dogs have fine-tuned routines (feeding, walks, etc.), so we can always accommodate special requirements.
“Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)”

“Here's a review you can use for the pet sitter: I recently hired Carmen to take care of my dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding. She kept me updated with regular texts and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. What impressed me the most was how observant and caring she was with my dogs. Carmen took the time to understand their individual personalities and needs, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved during my absence. It was evident that she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend Carmen to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”


“Michaela was amazing with our 3 guinea pigs. She sent so many photos, and very detailed updates during her time with the piggies. She was very sweet! She did everything I asked, plus gave them some treats while we were gone. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again Michaela.”

About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”

Christina made leaving my Bella baby super easy and stress free!!!! It was so great finding someone who understands the nature of a doggo within minutes of meeting them. Christina keeps me updated and was quick to respond from first inquiry of booking to the day I got home!!! Can definitely say my Bella was well taken care of and loved on while I was gone! Thank you Christina!!!!

Jessica & Andre G. were excellent. We could not have found a more caring sitter. We loved the photos and the notes. Jessica was so easy to talk to and very understanding with changes we needed. We are booking her again next month and look forward to working with her. We would highly recommend.
Hanling took excellent care of our kitty! She came in advance to meet him and get instructions in person, and spent lots of time playing and cuddling with him on each visit so he wouldn't be too lonely while we were gone. She also sent us lots of pictures of him. We will definitely call her the next time we need a pet sitter.
