“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”


“Tessa is a gem. Loki loved her during the “meet and greet”, as she was playing with him and petting him. She followed our instructions and took excellent care of him. We look forward to the next time she can watch him!”


“Thank you so much Barbie! We can tell Meredith Grey was well tended to while we were away. We will definitely use you again in the future if we plan to be away for a bit! I will be using the Rover app to leave you a tip a.s.a.p. Happy spring! Kathy and Scott Howard”


“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”


“Andrea was great. She kept me updated and informed, spent plenty of time playing and loving on my 2 cats. It gave me peace of mind having Andrea check in on my fur babies while I was away.”


“Katie did a fantastic job caring for my cat while I was away. I'm always a little nervous leaving Kitty for an extended period as she is older and is wary of strangers. Katie befriended her and I was able be away knowing Kitty was being well cared for. I would highly recommend Katie's services to anyone and would definitely book her services again in the future.”


“Alice is the absolute best! She has taken care of little dood twice, and has been great and easy to work with both times! So good, she's coming back for a third time! I absolutely recommend her as she is great with my cat, always plays with him and does great visit cards! She leaves a little gift for Zorro that he ways loves! 11/10 would recommend Alice!”


About: I’ve always had animals, and I love to care for them! I will always treat your babies like my own and make sure all of their needs are met. I know how worrisome it can be leaving your animals, so I will always provide updates and pictures! I work a full time job as a nurse, but I do home care, giving me a flexible schedule and allowing me to make time in my day to care for my own pets as well as yours! I currently have one dog in my home and 3 cats. I have an unfenced back yard, but a big patio with a sliding glass door so I am always watching when I let my dog out! She loves to make new friends and loves to play with other dogs! I also have a crate I can use if needed, and plenty of toys your dog can play with

About: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts, I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.

“I highly recommend Abbigail! I was able to book her for a drop-in on very short notice. I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and she has experience with big dogs. She was communicative and took lots of pictures!”


About: Since spring of 2023 I have been house sitting and pet sitting. I am proud to be serving locally Columbia City, Whitley County, Indiana and surrounding communities. Note if your fur family grows, please be sure to schedule a meet and greet so I can meet the new family member. I currently work Monday through Friday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and every couple weekends but I am able to work around that schedule to still provide care for your pet. I care for pets within their own home so that way they do not have to worry about going somewhere new and trying to adjust to a new environment.


About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with a genuine love for animals. I've spent summers working as a dedicated dog walker and have years of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family, so I'm confident in my ability to handle any pet care need. Your furry friends will receive personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment when they're with me. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time for hanging around with pups! I also attend my local community college part-time. I do have a different work schedule each week but I am more than willing to arrange a schedule for your pups needs! Whether I'm looking after your pets in my home or yours, my top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for them. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medications, ensuring their routine stays consistent. Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention are always on the agenda, and I'm quick to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs, providing personalized care that keeps them happy and secure.

About: Since I was a child I have been around dogs and cats. They are always part of the family not just a pet. All pets will be treated like they are my own and I will give them love and attention. I currently have 3 small dogs that I have raised since puppies. I also have experience with walking and sitting large dogs for family. Whether they are puppies or senior dogs I will take care of them and treat them with love and care. My days are usually split up between myself and my wife taking care of our dogs. We keep them on a schedule with feedings and trying to take them out as much as possible. I am always willing to walk dogs and keep any routine or schedule needed for them. Taking care of dogs is a daily routine for me. I have 3 dachshund that I split time with my wife taking care of them. We love to take them outside and either play with them or go for walks. They are like children to us and will always see them that way. Keeping up feeding schedules and potty time is always a must to keep them full and happy.

About: Hi, I’m Joey! :) As a recent college graduate and a pre-dental student, I’ve always been dedicated and hardworking in everything I do. Now, I bring that same level of commitment to caring for dogs. I'm a new dog owner to a lovable cavapoo named Levi, and I understand the importance of providing not just basic care, but genuine love and attention. Though I'm fairly new to dog ownership, I’m not new to being around dogs—I’ve always been passionate about animals and have spent years helping friends and family with their pets. I'm kind, respectful, and I’ll treat your furry friend like they’re my own. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some extra attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels happy and loved. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently working part time so feel free to check in anytime. I am almost always free evenings during the weekday and anytime on the weekends. I live in a studio apartment with a small cavapoo (10lbs) that loves other dogs. There is lots of grassy areas around and a close entrance to part of the Monon trail. I also have been a care taker for pets with over 100 five star reviews.
