About: As an active, playful person myself, I want to give your dog a space to get some wiggles out and enjoy the day, rain or shine. I’m an ELA teacher on summer break, and I’d love to spend time walking and caring for your dogs during the hours I’d normally be teaching. As a human being who values quiet as well as activity, my priority is making sure your dog feels at peace around me as we spend time together and find adventure on our walks. My dog loves to sit by me on the floor for a while after getting back from a good walk :) I also focus on making sure I maintain the rhythms and routines to which your pet is already accustomed, giving them a safe space even with someone new to their life.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—there has literally never been a time growing up when I didn't have a pet at home! On top of my lifelong hands-on experience, I spent all four years of high school volunteering weekly at a local animal shelter, dedicating about 8 hours a week to caring for both cats and dogs. I’d love to bring that same high level of care, patience, and love to your furry family members! I'm currently on summer break from the University of Notre Dame, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I work with the Boys and Girls Club as a Youth Development Professional seasonally. I value safety over anything and will keep a close eye on your pets as much as requested. I understand what can happen if an animal is left alone for too long, and will ensure that your animals are safe and protected.

“I have never used Rover before and so this was a large leap of faith for me to let someone watch my pets for 5 days. Janelle proved to be diligent in sending me updates everyday, and went above and beyond to provide for my fur babies. One of my kitties ate all the food left in her automatic feeder (knocked it over ugh) and they were not going to have enough food to last until we came back, so she went to the store and picked up more food for them!! I would recommend Janelle every time and will be using her again in the future for services 💕🥰 Thanks again!!”

“All three of my fur babies liked Christina right away. She is a caring, reliable pet sitter, and had responded to all my inquiries promptly. I will definitely trust her with my fur family whenever I need a sitter again.”

“Heather has done 2 drop-in visits with my dog. He’s always excited to see her. She takes great care of him, making sure he goes potty, gets his energy out, eats his dinner and gets a few treats. Her communication is always clear and very friendly.”

Casey C.

“Erin was lovely with our cat! She sent pics and updates and clearly appreciated our kitty’s personality and quirks.”

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. Growing up on a farm, I learned to take care of animals from a very young age. Additionally, I spent a lot of my high school years pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and friends of friends! I have had many dogs of many different breeds and ages. I tend to be an active person, so walking and playing with my pets to ensure their exercise is something I prioritize. I’m very good at adapting to pets different personalities and making them as comfortable as possible. I work 5 days a week but on a hybrid schedule- 3 days in office, 2 days working from home. My hours are 9-3, so I have plenty of time during the week to love on your pet! Additionally, my weekends are free. Though I do not have any pets currently, I have an apartment with plenty of room, outside space, and live directly across from a huge, gated dog park— which is friendly to all sizes of dogs. Additionally, I live right next to tons of walking trails, perfect for those pets who love their walks! If your pup is needing to be crated, I can easily make that happen, as well as anything else your pet needs!

“Mariah was great with our dog! Our dog gets nervous sometimes with new people but she was very patient with her and make our dog very comfortable! She took many pictures and gave great updates. Would definitely use her services again.”

“Sydney was able to watch Louis as an emergency due to another sitter not showing up. She is the sweetest and I know Louis is in great care with her.”

About: I stand out from other sitters because I bring a rare combination of veterinary training, hands‑on clinical experience, and a lifetime of caring for animals of all sizes. I am a veterinary nurse graduate from Marian University Plymouth 2026, which means I approach every pet with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. Alongside my education, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in both large and small animal medicine, and during my several externships at Emergency, Specialty Hospitals, Private Practice and currently working at a veterinary clinic. These roles have given me extensive experience with senior pets, animals with medical needs, medication administration, safe animals handling and recognizing early signs of illness or stress — skills that most sitters don’t have. Beyond my clinical background, animals have been a central part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to shy or anxious pets. I also have a fountain in farm work which created a strong sense of responsibility and dedication. Your pets aren’t just watched — they’re cared for by someone who truly understands them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I’m currently working at a veterinary clinic with a consistent schedule. I work Tuesday–Friday, and depending on your location, I can stop by for mid‑day potty breaks during the week. I also follow a steady, work‑style rhythm, so I can visit in the mornings before my shift and return in the evenings for feeding, walks, or check‑ins. My weekends are even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for longer visits or extended care. Because of my profession and lifestyle, pet sitting blends seamlessly into my routine, and I make sure every pet receives dependable, attentive care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps pets comfortable. I like too follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and bedtime habits — because familiar patterns help reduce stress. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance so they feel relaxed even when their family is away. My goal is to provide care that feels seamless, trustworthy, and grounded in both compassion and professional experience.

About: My family always had a pet dog. As a kid I would feed and walk dogs in the neighborhood while they were out of town. As I grew older I would stay at family or friend's homes if they went out of town. I'm in search of a similar situation in South Bend - dog walking and light housework included! Weekdays I can stop in and let the dog(s) out for bathroom breaks. On weekends/evenings I can stay at your home so that the dog is familiar and will make myself available 100% during that time. I prefer to stay or drop in to my client's home. I find that the dog is more familiar/comfortable this way too. I am happy to do a test run so that everyone feels comfortable/familiar!

About: I've had a passion for animals my entire life and have experience volunteering with a local dog rescue since 2018, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I have learned how to feed, walk, administer medications when needed, clean, socialize, and provide plenty of love and attention. Family members have also trusted me enough to care for their loved ones while away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm available for pet care Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During that time, I can provide drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks in the yard, playtime, enrichment activities, companionship, and medication administration if needed. Because I have tarsal tunnel syndrome, I do not offer dog walking services, but I love keeping pets active through indoor games, toys, and interactive play that matches their energy level. I'll always follow your pet's routine and provide regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident they're receiving attentive, loving care while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I'll treat your home and your furry family member with the same respect and attention I'd give my own. I'm attentive to behavior, keep a close eye on pets during playtime, and always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, and household rules. You'll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Carly was a great cat sitter for Crystal! 😊 She kept me updated during each visit with pictures and videos, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. She was patient and sweet with Crystal, and I was so happy to hear that Crystal warmed up to her 🤍 Thank you again, Carly, for taking good care of our baby!”

“Our dog Champ LOVES Lydia! She is a wonderful pet sitter—always on time, takes care of Champ like she’s a member of the family, and sends fun updates during her visits.”

Matt & Beth G.

“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.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and I’ve often cared for the dogs of my family friends! I feel comfortable working with dogs of all sizes. As a college athlete, I understand balancing busy schedules with taking care of pets, and I would love to spend time with your pets either for a walking break or to hang out with them while I study! I am a full-time medical student but can easily fit dog sitting into my study schedule! I will have slightly more availability on weekends but will hopefully be flexible as needed. I treat my client’s home like I’d want them to treat mine! I often end up doing some extra cleaning where needed and I always clean up after myself and their pets. Coming back to a clean and well-kept home is always a breath of fresh air after time away!

About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl and can always be found hanging out with the pets over people at parties! I get along really well with furry friends and I will take really good care of yours! I am self-employed, so I always have availability throughout the week when I'm not traveling. I also have my puppy I would be bringing with me if I am house sitting, so please keep that in mind! She loves other dogs. I can come and play with your animals as often and as long as needed. I will stop in every few hours if need be and will definitely give them all the loves and pets!
