Dog Walking In Belle Vista

“Nervous about leaving our baby in the care of a stranger, I took comfort in reading other people’s reviews so I hope this helps. As a new transplant to Fort Wayne from Brooklyn New York, things are very different. Our 2 year old poodle isn’t use to the new routine or people yet and Tracy was patient, communicative and caring. I felt comfortable letting him into our home and loved getting the photos of our happy - despite Super nervous- pup with his tail up trotting along. Tracy is a game changer for us in our new schedule and I would trust him with our pooch in our home or in his.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From lizards, to birds, cats and dogs, you name it. For the last 3 years I have been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, coworkers, and friends of friends as an in house sitter. I am currently working full time, however, my work life is very flexible with flexible hours. I can do middle of the day check ins if that is what you would prefer with no problem. I do spend a lot of time with the pets late afternoons to late evenings if I am not staying in the residence. When caring for pets in your home, I encourage a very detailed day to day that your pet has so I do not break from that routine for them as much as possible. It’s my hope for you and your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. No needs or routine is too inconsiderate for me.

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, including previous house-sitting experience and working at zoos. I love being able to spend time with pets and give them love and care while their families are busy or out of town! I currently have full availability and can fully adapt to your schedule. I can do at home care, including overnights, drop in visits, or walks whenever needed! I live in a single-bedroom apartment, so I would only feel comfortable providing care in my home for cats. I have lots of experience working with animals both professionally and for friends and family. I love being able to care for pets at their comfort level with new people and find so much joy in being able to fit into your pets lives!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to provide structured, attentive, and compassionate care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of dogs. I am highly attentive to routines, behavior cues, and individual temperaments, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment for each dog in my care. My dog-sitting skills extend beyond basic supervision to include proper exercise, reinforcement of positive behavior, and close observation to ensure overall well-being. I approach every responsibility with professionalism, reliability, and clear communication, giving pet owners confidence and peace of mind that their dogs are receiving exceptional, dependable care in their absence I have a flexible schedule and am available most of the time, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care. While I am generally free during the week, I may occasionally have other commitments on weekends, though I communicate availability clearly in advance to ensure proper planning. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every aspect of the care I provide. My upstairs apartment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with close supervision at all times to ensure pets remain safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions provided, and I maintain a consistent and structured environment to reduce stress. My community offers designated areas for walking dogs, allowing for regular exercise in a controlled and safe setting. Through attentive care, clear communication, and respect for both the pet and the owner’s expectations, I strive to create a secure, trusting, and welcoming home where pets feel comfortable and well cared for

About: I think what sets me apart from other individuals is my patience and love to pets. I’m a genuine guy with plenty of time in my schedule to take great and attentive care of any beloved animal. I’m free as a bird. I’m always looking to help others. Right now, that includes relieving animal owners of the anxiety of not having a great care taker. I’m down for a walk snow or rain. I’m also brilliant with keeping routine. I get along great with all animals. Building trust with a loved pet can be such a reward. It’s truly soul bonding. While I’m not in the position to currently house my own cat or dog doesn’t mean I’m not passionate about taking care of other furry friends.

“Edmy even gave my beloved furry family member a Christmas gift! Edmy and Craig check on my doggo about three times a week and I wouldn’t want to have anyone else check on her 🫶🏽”

“Amara is a wonderful and very reliable dog sitter and dog walker. She was always on time, connected with our dog quickly, filled out the report card and was always available if we had additional questions. We can highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to watch your dog.”

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by creatures big and small—everything from conures to bison. From an early age, I learned not just how to care for animals, but how to truly respect them. That foundation deepened over the years into a lifelong appreciation for the bond we share with our animal companions. Adopting my dog Uschi was life-changing—she taught me about unconditional love, loyal companionship, and even nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced my commitment to providing pets with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, respect any dietary needs, and make sure they feel calm and cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to run, play, and give your sweet baby the love they deserve! I currently work remote at my own pace, so I have full availability any time of day, morning or over night. Complete flexibility to your schedule. My overnight stays are flexible and can be tailored to your pet’s specific needs. I’m happy to take care of small home tasks like bringing in the mail or taking out the trash—just let me know what you'd like. We can also go over feeding schedules, walk routines, and note any areas that are off-limits to ensure everything runs smoothly. I understand that separation anxiety is common, and I approach each visit with patience, empathy, and a calming presence. Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I’m also very mindful of pet nutrition—no treats or dietary changes will be made without your clear consent. I’m available for a wide range of time frames and am happy to adapt to your pet’s rhythm and routine, providing consistency, comfort, and a little extra love while you're away.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two dogs of my own, including a golden retriever puppy, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, basic training, and keeping dogs active and engaged. I’m a Recreational Therapist, which makes me naturally patient, attentive, and focused on creating safe, positive experiences. I love going on walks, playing, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for based on their individual needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away! I work during the weekdays but have availability in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate your schedule and your dog’s routine. Whether your pup needs a quick visit, a long walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and get plenty of love and activity! I treat every dog like they’re my own and always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I have two friendly dogs, so I’m very familiar with reading behavior and making sure everyone feels at ease. I take introductions slowly, follow all routines closely, and can crate if needed. You can trust that your dog will be well cared for, supervised, and getting lots of love while you’re away.

About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child and can’t imagine my life without pets. I’ve got friends and neighbors who rely on me to visit, feed, play and stay for overnights or vacations with their pets. Would love to help others with their pet needs! I’m currently open for clients and their needs whenever needed. I have an open schedule and am ready to work with anyone on helping with their pets. Whether drop in visits or staying over at friends/neighbors houses I follow any guidelines given by the pet owners. I’m very trustworthy and do what I can to ensure the pets stay safe under my care.

About: I grew up in a household full of dogs and cats and a turtle! This lifelong exposure taught me that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. For the past few years, I’ve specialized in in-home pet sitting, offering both daytime visits and overnight stays to ensure your pets feel secure in their own environment. I am particularly experienced with high-energy and reactive pups. My own 'wild' puppy has taught me patience and various positive reinforcement training techniques, so I’m well-equipped to handle strong pullers or dogs who get a bit nervous on walks. Whether it's a calm senior cat or a zoomie-prone puppy, I know how to keep them engaged and safe. As a college student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have the ability to step away for midday walks or check-ins, ensuring your pet is never alone for too long. During the summer months, I am out of school and only work a part-time job one day a week. This means I have nearly 24/7 wide-open availability for housesitting, extended stays, and frequent drop-ins to keep your furry (or shelled) friends company! I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being extremely cleanly and respectful of your space. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it (if not a little tidier!). Beyond the house, your pet's safety is my #1 priority. I am hyper-vigilant during walks and always adhere to your specific household rules regarding furniture, feeding, and routine. I treat every 'pet child' with the same love, attention, and protection I give my own, so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have owned and taken care of a lot of dogs in the past 10 years. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted that I take great care of their fur babies! I offer overnight care in your home as well as walking and drop-ins! I am a self employed hair stylist so I can pretty easily modify my schedule to accommodate you and your dogs personal needs! I work 4-5 days a week so I am looking for something to do in my free time. I always prefer to have a run-down on how you take care of your dog and understand your personal routine with the dog so that I can mimic that to the best of my ability.

“Jona was on time and listened to all instructions for my pups' walk. After a rainy day, I was happy that Jona was able to get a good walk in to tire my guy out. Will definitely be using Jona again for future walks!”

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I currently have two dogs of my own—a 2.5-year-old Goldendoodle and a 15-year-old Shih Tzu—so I’m very familiar with both high-energy dogs and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for dogs, and I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you have peace of mind. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for in my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, and attention so pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I always prioritize safety, routine, and communication when caring for pets. I carefully follow any instructions provided and take the time to make sure pets feel comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I've been taking care of animals since the age of six when I got my first dog. From walking, feeding, grooming I enjoy the company of animals. I recently fostered a "hospice" dog and cared for him until his last days. I have experience with basic training( sit, stay, lie down,) and leash walking. I am observant and take immediate action when something is off with an animal. I work a full-time job during the week with a flexible schedule. My work hours are generally 9:30-5:00 with an hour break mid day. For house sitting I am up early to ensure enough time to interact with my host(the dog) before going to work. This involves outside time, walks or playing and breaks fast of course. If a mid-day let out is needed I come back between 1:00-2:00pm for outside time, walking or playing. A sample evening routine includes time in the home, dinner and time to interact depending on the dogs needs. Sometimes I do have a personal activity on my schedule during a weekday evening. In my clients home I am respectful of the dogs boundaries and needs. I like to take my time to be in the home, get to know the dog and their behaviors and settle in. Walking and spending time outside(weather permitting) are my favorite ways to interact with dogs. I also enjoy working on basic training skills and dog snuggles. If there is an accident in the home, I simply clean it up and check- in on learning and noticing the cues from the dog. Each one is so different! At the end of the stay, I like to clean up after myself, wash my sheets and get the house ready for the owners to return.
