“Joscelyn does such a good job taking care of George! We are so lucky to have her available so often. She has taken care of George many times and gives us great peace of mind knowing he is loved and safe. Thanks Joscelyn!”


“The absolute sense of peace and comfort, I recommend Emily for all of your pups needs when you are away. Kaija would race out of the car, jump into Emily’s arms and through the door wagging her entire body, this is a Cattle Dog, considered a “velcro-dog” to their owners; Kaija could not wait to spend the 13 hours it would take for me to complete my work day as a nurse, at Emily’s. The gratitude and, again peace I felt each day, is profound. Thank you Emily and fam❤️❤️”

About: I have been taking care of all dogs since I was 10. Doberman, Rottweiler, Hounds, Cocker spaniel, Labradoodle and Wheaton Terriers to name a few. I know how to be patient with the Rescues. When to give space and when to shower them with love. I have experience with senior dogs and their extra needs. I work from home, which allows plenty of time for potty breaks, play time, treats, and cuddles. I'm available for boarding 7 days a week. Treat them as i do my own. I have a spacious backyard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I have pet gates available if needed and plenty of comfy dog beds.

“Amara was AWESOME with our baby Athena. She sent lots of pictures, was very nice and replied quick 😊 Will definitely book again with her if needed!”


“Donut was well taken care of by Millie! I had to be at work last minute and Millie was able to watch him for the entire day and into the evening. I loved how Millie would send photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely book with Millie again!”


About: Our family has taken care of friends’ dogs and cats for four years or more. We are now offering our pet services to more ‘07 neighbors. During summers we are available at all waking hours of any days we’re not on a family vacation. During the school year we lose family pet minders during the school day but are available after school and on weekends. We have experience letting ourselves into owners’ homes while they are away to feed, walk, and let pets out for bathroom breaks. We also have a large fenced in yard occupied by our very friendly golden retriever to share with dogs who will treat him well.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—everything from energetic, high-needs breeds like Dalmatians and doodles to lovable rescue mutts and senior dogs with healthcare needs. I’m comfortable caring for pups with all kinds of personalities and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each dog tick. Whether your dog needs lots of activity, a calming presence, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to provide a safe, welcoming, and personalized home-away-from-home experience. I work mostly from home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. When I do step out, my mom is also home and helps ensure that any pup in the house still gets regular outdoor breaks and attention. We have a large, fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime and zoomies. Caring for dogs fits seamlessly into our daily rhythm—it’s part of the joy of our home! In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I stick to their regular routines as much as possible—whether that’s mealtime, potty breaks, walks, or playtime. Since I work mostly from home, I’m able to give them lots of attention and keep a close eye on how they’re adjusting. Outdoor time is built into the day, with a large fenced yard for safe running and sniffing. When I do have to step out, my mom is also home to help with potty breaks and supervision, so your pup is never left alone for long. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving, and structured environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

About: I hope what the pets owners like is that I am verry responsible and enjoy the company of pets. I have a dogs and a cat which I treat them like family. I will also make sure that they dont feel homesick provinding them with a safe space. Last but not less important I will play with the dogs so they dont get bored or lonely. I enjoy all types of dogs but mostly a puppy or little dogs but can take care of bug dogs. I hope that you will feel okey with letting a family member eith me. I'm currently working part-time. I would have time to take care of the pups and give them lots of love. I'm also available during weekends. I think communication is key. I time to have schedule for them including feeding times and walk time. I also need list of allergies in case I make puppy treats.

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.

About: I am a lover of all animals and have been rescuing and fostering as well as caring for friends, family and my own pets since childhood. I take pride in keeping your pets needs met and cleanliness of their environment and belongings as well as medication needs. We are a big animal family that consists of dogs, cats, a tortoise, and a bird. We also rescue and foster through a local shelter. I understand that leaving your fur baby can be difficult, but I want to assure you that I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs that can keep your pet company. If needed, I can easily crate your pet and I will make sure to follow your instructions if you would like me to.

About: My husband and I have taken care of animals our whole lives! Together we have had 3 dogs and 3 cats. Currently we have a Great Dane and Golden Retriever! We know that sometimes we need an extra hand with our little loved ones! We would love to do that for anyone in need. :) I am currently working full time and have breaks throughout the day! My husband is not working at the moment though and has full availability! :) We have a fenced in yard and 2 other doggies to keep your fur baby company! We do have a 6 month old, so we just want to ensure that your pet is baby friendly! :)

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. I dont have a fenced in yard, but i have my own playful dog, the ability to walk them for as long as they need, and have a leash in our backyard that I use for my own dog to let her out. I love to play and give lots of attentions to dogs and will always provide the highest level of care for them. For me personally, I know that when I need someone to take care of my baby that my main concern is that the person is going to be caring and someone I can trust, so I know exactly how it feels leaving your pup with someone new! I am full prepared to give them whatever it is they need and do it in a caring and loving manner, just as I would want with my own dog.

About: I have always had animals in my life all shapes, and sizes all species and breeds. I have had dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, fish, gerbils, racoons I have helped take care of horses, and cows and chickens. I have watched and cared for so many animals in my life and I love every min of it. I am currently a kennel supervisor, doggy daycare attendant, and a petcare specialist at a pet boarding facility in fort wayne. I truly love my job and all our clients that i deal with everyday. I couldn't be happier than I am right now working with animals. I am also a wildlife rehabilitator I have always dreamt of doing what I'm doing right now. Taking care of animals isn't what I do it's who I am. I work with and around animals everyday either here at home with my 5 dogs, 3 cats, 3 coons, and 2 squirrels or at Work. If at your home I will care for them the only way I know how to like they were my own. I will strive to make them the happiest furbabies while your away. I can't wait to be able to spoil your furbaby till you return home.

“Heather was great with my dog. She’s very responsive & has a perfect set-up for daycare/boarding.”


Kyla G.
“Kyla is quite possibly the biggest animal lover of all time. She loves all animals and tries to make them all lover her. She's watched my 3 dogs for years when we are out of town-- and one of our dogs who hates everyone has become accepting of Kyla. She goes above and beyond in making sure you know how your pets are doing...check ins and pics galore. 10/10 recommend!”
