Dog Walking in Blackhawk, Fort Wayne, IN

“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.”

“Paris is wonderful and a natural with my girl. My senior chihuahua was recently diagnosed with heart disease and had to go on two medicines and Paris was able to give her both. My dog is picky with people and got along so well with Paris. She gave detailed updates and took good pictures. She truly cares for animals.”

“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”

About: Book your dog a vacation with me at my Doggy Vacay, while you vacation! I have fostered and boarded pups of all ages and breeds. I have a real love for training and rehabilitating pups to be a blessing to their families. I keep pets on a routine and am familiar with enrichment activities. My home will be your dog's home away from home where they will be spoiled with love, play time, and trained on manners using only positive encouragement. I work a hybrid schedule where I am in office 2-3 days per week (mon-wed) and remote 2-3 days per week (some Mondays and every Thur Fri). There is another adult in the home who is often available for mid-day potty breaks and play breaks on those couple days I am gone. During the summer I have even greater availability. I have a large fenced in yard with two of my own fur babies who are so gentle and playful if your dog enjoys company. I can also give your dog it's very own space in the house with their crate door left open and access to their food/water in my kitchen/dining area. My home has multiple living spaces and my two dogs are crate trained as well.

About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).

“Shari is so sweet! She was great with my two big dogs. Of course most people get scared when big dogs are barking at them, but she was comfortable to just let them do their barking and growling circling her until they realized she was friendly. Very gentle and genuine with my dogs. She left a note thanking me for letting her walk my furbabies and told me how they did. Generous touch. I'm definitely going to book with her again!!”

About: We are a husband/wife team. We have owned and loved pets most of our lives. Especially, cats and dogs. We give them that extra special attention they are craving when you are gone. Clint always loved brushing out his doggies fur. We both love to walk and play with our furry friends. We are both very easy going and friendly. Clint is legally blind. He doesn’t need a cane. Leah is my right hand. We do everything together, and together we make a great team! Clints disability is NOT a complication. We have pet sat several times over many years. We both have a completely clean background. We have never had a problem with drugs or alcohol. After years of pet sitting for family and friends, we thought, We should make our own little business! Really looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

“He’s been very communicative and awesome with my dog Vera! He takes her for walks and to the dog park which is great for her. We like him a ton!”

“Stephanie is fun and engaging with Ruthie!”

About: I've worked with dogs, cats, and other animals since middle school. I've done short- and long-term sitting for dogs varying from a weekend with a mixed breed rescue to a month with a purebred Australian shepherd. I owned an elderly Maltese for three years, until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Currently I do have a limit of dogs of maximum 35 pounds. I am prepared and willing to work with training routines. I studied cats extensively in seventh grade in my attempt to persuade my parents into owning one. (It worked.) As either a cat owner or sitter, I've been working with cats ever since. I have a beautiful little black and white princess named Jane, with an affinity for burrowing in blankets and stealing pens, and a wild child named Lizzie who has never met a stranger. I offer dog and cat walks, animal feeding, water changes, litter box changes, playtime, and brushing. I'm open to pets outside the usual; anything except spiders. My availability is very flexible right now. Send me a message to get a request started! Currently I do gig work and have a very open and flexible schedule. Most Sundays I spend out of town, but feel free to message to discuss custom scheduling. Safety and care in a pet's home is reliant first and foremost on learning the family's routines and location of important items. Every family in every home has a system and routines in place; following those is the smoothest way to keep the animals happy and safe. In my home, I care for two young adult cats I own, as well as foster kittens. Right now, I have a group of four kittens to care for until they reach their goal weight for their spay/neuter surgeries. I do practice robust hygiene routines to ensure no potential illness is transmitted between the fosters and my cats.

About: I have a natural way with animals, especially when it comes to training and understanding their needs. My dog is well-trained, not just in basic commands but also in manners and adventure-readiness, making our hikes and walks smooth and enjoyable. I’ve also mastered the balance of caring for both an energetic dog and two independent cats, ensuring each of them gets the attention and care they need. My ability to read animal behavior and create a structured yet loving environment sets me apart, making me not just a pet owner, but a true companion to my furry family. Every morning before 2 I am more than available to do drop ins other than Sundays. I do in fact work a full time job that I go into at 3. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow their routine closely, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and any medical needs. For exercise, I provide walks, playtime, and mental stimulation with toys or training games. I also respect house rules, whether it’s furniture boundaries or specific care instructions. Most importantly, I give plenty of attention, whether that’s belly rubs, cuddle time, or just being present to ensure they feel at ease while their owner is away.

“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”

About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors, family, friends, and referrals for 10 years. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, cats, and reptiles. I also have experience with deaf, blind, and elderly dogs. I’m currently working PRN as a nurse so I have plenty of time to hang out with your babies! I’m available from early morning to late evening on most days :) The majority of my pet sitting experience has involved staying in other people’s homes to care for their fur babies while they are on vacation.

About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I have taken teams on international mission trips. I have travelled to many countries and lived in many different places. I am a responsible adult ready to help you and your family by providing you pet sitting/walking services.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, I know how important it is to treat our animals like family! I go for walks every day and would love to take your dog with me! I exercise every day and try to get outside for walks at least once a day, taking a dog in need of some fresh air with me would be a win win for both of us! I have a secure privacy fence around my back yard and I work from home so your pet will never be left here alone. I treat my animals like family, and there are 2 days a week when it’s only me and my cat because my dog stays with family.
