About: Both my wife and I have had pets since we were little. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and love spending time with them all. I work from home Monday-Friday, and my wife works from home only 3 days a week, allowing a lot of flexibility for potty breaks and play time. We are also home most of the time on weekends. We have a comfortable, fenced in backyard and a cage for inside if needed. We have 2 friendly dogs that have been around plenty of other dogs with no issues, and always love the extra company. Our 2 cats also get along well with dogs, and have always been around them.
About: I have walked dogs for two years at a local animal shelter during college and loved giving the pups time out of their kennels for a change. I go above and beyond to ensure the dog is happy and to adapt to their unique walking styles. I graduated from Purdue University West Lafayette in May 2025 with degrees in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Sociology. I have sense then moved back home to Fort Wayne and looking to get into the animal care industry as well as build my skills with animal care, including volunteering with livestock and large animals such as horses. I am currently doing my residency for medical laboratory and I work part time as well, so my schedule is a bit tight but I have and will continue to always make something work and accommodate my clients and furry friends. I am very respectful of individuals and their spaces, and will ensure that I oblige by all your boundaries. I am willing to go above and beyond with any other quick tasks in your home.
“Mariah is very sweet with my dog Zoe who needs lots of encouragement to walk with new people. Mariah communicates well, reliable and sent a thorough note about her visit. Highly recommend.”

About: I am very used to being around all types of different dogs. I have a high energy dog myself, and know the amount of time and level care our pets need! I am fully prepared to make any accommodations for you and your pet’s needs. My quality of care and tailoring to your needs are my top priority. I just graduated college and now live here in Fort Wayne full time! I do this full time and am always willing to make time for your pets. I am pretty flexible and can always try to accommodate. In other people’s home, i try to respect their home as much as possible! I always make sure the dog or cat is well taken care of, everything is left as was or better, and the pets safety is my #1 concern.
“Ronica did an amazing job caring for our dog, Leia, while we were out of town for a week. From the first meet and greet we knew she would be the perfect fit. She was professional and her communication was excellent. A bonus for us: she was less than a mile away. We look forward to being repeat customers!”

“Grace is always on time and my dog Jasper looks forward to his walks with her now! She's helped my family tremendously while trying to juggle work life, kids and schedules! She always sticks to the time booked and I trust her to take Jasper on a thorough walk when we can't... will definately use Grace in the future :)”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8-9 years old. I grew up with dogs of all breeds, and dog sat for neighbors, and family members. I don't just watch dogs; I build trust with them.

I can adapt to the environment around me, and work with how the pets are and what their routines are usually and allow the pets to feel comfortable with me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. My grandma raised and sold dachshunds for as long as I can remember. I helped her a lot growing up, from training them, feeding them, walking them etc. I have experience training puppies and also take care of elderly dogs. My dog I’ve had since my childhood turned 13 this year she’s super fragile and sweet. I have house sitted for friends and families over the years weather that was dogs or cats or all animals (I took care of horses too). I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, never met a dog I didn’t like. I make my own routine/schedule for work and so I can be pretty flexible as to when and how many times I see or walk your dog. I have a fenced in yard and about an acre of land for them to roam! We live in a good neighborhood and can take them for long walks around the lake! I can feed, walk, wash, train, and or play with your lovely dog◡̈
