Our Team

Shari

My name is Shari. I am a retired high school teacher and I love animals. Having been raised on a dairy farm in Elkhart County, animals have always been an important part of my life. As a child I remember the joy of the cows in the spring as they were released into the pasture after a long winter in the barn, and the surprise of Lady, our German Shepherd, when she gave birth to 14 puppies in her very first litter. When the veterinarian would come out for emergency visits, I watched in fascination as he examined and treated his distressed patients. I was certain I would go on to study veterinary medicine, but my education led me to Goshen College to major in Spanish and later Indiana University for a Masters in Education. However, my passion for animals has remained. I fondly remember the various fur babies I have been blessed with. Even though all have been a rescue in one way or another, it’s always felt like I am the one who has been rescued. In the early stages of the pandemic, I was teaching but we had gone to remote learning. That’s when Jasmine, a Sheltie mix, and I found each other, and she’s been a wonderful companion ever since. She was surrendered as a senior to the Humane Society of Elkhart County. I wish I knew her story but whatever it is, she was raised well. Jasmine is a great buddy for camping, hiking, and chasing squirrels. I have met many wonderful pets since joining Fetch Pet Care and I look forward to helping you in any way I can with your pet care needs.

Rich

Hi, my name is Rich and I am the owner of Fetch! Pet Care of Michiana. I have had a love for animals as far back as I can remember, but being 1 of 6 kids, my mother was slow to believe my unconvincing arguments that I could handle a pet. Finally, at the age of 10, she broke down and let me get my first parakeet, Petey. Since Petey, I have had a few more birds, a couple of hamsters, a frog, fish, dogs, and now 3 bunnies.

The reason I decided to open Fetch! Pet Care of Michiana, besides the obvious appeal of caring for animals for a job, was because of my last dog, Logan. Logan was a miniature pinscher who had a number of medical conditions, including diabetes. After much searching, we found a pet sitter that Logan loved that was comfortable giving him his insulin shots, his other medication, and of course, the cuddles he couldn’t get enough of. This sitter was wonderful with Logan and we always knew he was well taken care of when we weren’t home.

This trusted, individualized care is what Fetch! Pet Care of Michiana is all about. The Fetch! family provides the benefits of a large and experienced company with a local touch and will give you the peace of mind that your pet will get the highest level of care while you are away.

Becca

Hi! I'm Becca. Having furry loved ones has always been a great joy to me. I've had pets of all kinds my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs that are my world and I treat them like my children, so I know the love you have for your own fur babies. I understand the trust it takes to let someone else care for your beloved pets and that trust is something I never take for granted. In my free time I spend as much time as I can with my dogs, I also do embroidery, sewing, listening to audiobooks, and attempting to keep all my plants alive.

Lauren

Hello, my name is Lauren! I am a recent graduate from the University of Notre Dame, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in environmental science. I have a deep passion for the natural world, and currently work as an ecosystem restoration technician where I rehabilitate ecosystems to help our planet’s flora and fauna thrive! I have also always been an animal-lover. Growing up, my house was fondly referred to as “the zoo” by friends and family. I was blessed to be surrounded by a variety of animals, including our two persians, a guinea pig, bearded dragon, and many other small critters like hermit crabs, toads, and fresh and saltwater fish. Currently, I have an energetic mini golden doodle (Winston, pictured above), two mischievous, but loving persian cats (Ollie and Cosmo), and then Slinky the beardie who is nearly 14 years old! This diverse bunch taught me how to care for the specific needs of many types of pets, and to engage with their different personalities and idiosyncrasies. I joined Fetch!, because I wanted to spend more time with animals, and to provide more specialized, personalized care to pets and their families; it's been an incredibly enriching experience working for this company for the time that I have. Fetch! greatly impressed me due to their commitment to exceptional petcare via their various services that ensure health and wellness in the animals, and peace of mind and convenience for the owners! If I can ensure your pet(s) get proper care in the busy days and seasons of your life, it will certainly be a rewarding experience, and one where I feel I’m making a real difference. I am looking forward to providing care and companionship to all the furry, scaled, slimy, and aquatic friends!

Sarah

My name is Sarah (nickname Minnie). I enjoy taking care of pets of all kinds. I believe in quality time and full engagement with animals. I have been lucky enough to have had a pet dog, fish, cat, and parakeet in my life. Several years ago I worked at the Pittsburgh Aviary and got to spend precious time with (and befriend) a vast array of birds there. I travel back to Pittsburgh to visit them from time to time. I became a pet sitter 15 years ago and have enjoyed every minute of it! Animals can teach us so much, and I love the connection and one on one time I get with them on this job. Each has a unique personality. I hope to put folks at ease whenever they entrust me with their beloved animal.
