About: Howdy! My name’s Jordan, and I’m a dependable pet sitter who believes every dog deserves care that matches their personality. I’m comfortable working with dogs who take time to warm up just as much as those who are eager to make a new friend right away. I pay close attention to routines, body language, and comfort levels so pets feel at ease in their own space. While you’re away, I focus on keeping things familiar, calm, and positive so you can enjoy your time knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my time around the pets I’m caring for. I prioritize maintaining routines and being present during house-sitting stays so pets feel comfortable and settled. On weekends, I may step out briefly for personal commitments, but I always plan ahead and make sure pets are cared for and checked in on consistently. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is helping them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging with them through play and interaction. Many dogs benefit from extra activity, so I’m always happy to include playtime when it fits their energy level. This can be a game of fetch, light tug-of-war, or simply spending focused time with them. When playtime winds down, I’m just as happy to relax and offer cuddles to dogs who enjoy affection. No matter a pet’s energy level, I aim to keep their routine familiar and their time with me positive, calm, and stress-free.

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: 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/kittens or senior cats/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.
“Anabela is awesome! She was so helpful to me as a newbie to Rover and she took excellent care of our little pup. Anabela kept us posted about all her visits with photo updates, and she asked good questions to make sure that everything went smoothly. We enjoyed our time away so much more knowing that Pixie was in good hands!”

About: I believe every pet deserves a sitter who truly understands their unique needs. As a dedicated cat owner of over five years, I specialize in feline care, from reading their subtle body language to creating a comfortable, stress-free environment where they can thrive. My experience extends beyond just cats. I have over three years of professional experience caring for a variety of pets, including small to medium dogs. I've cared for a wide range of personalities, from playful puppies to calm seniors, and am confident in my ability to handle different temperaments and needs. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, secure, and loved in your absence. I'm not just here to feed and walk them—I'm here to give them the same level of care and attention they'd receive from you. My life is built around providing excellent care for pets. As a part-time graduate student, my schedule is quite flexible. My only standing commitment is my class on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 4:30 PM to 7:15 PM. This means I'm available most of the time to give your pet the consistent attention and care they need, from early morning to late evening. I am committed to providing the best possible care for your pet within the comfort of their own home. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a dog walk, or overnight boarding, I will make sure your pet's routine is respected and all their needs are met.
“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!”

“Andrea has been fantastic with my pets each time I've had her care for them. She goes above and beyond their required care and makes sure to give them lots of attention and playtime. She communicates very well if anything comes up and provides great updates each day. I look forward to having her watch my girls again!”

“Mckenna did a great job when I needed someone last minute. She updated me on Nala & how she was doing. If the timing needed to be adjusted, she accommodated accordingly. Couldn't recommend Mckenna enough.”

“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!”

“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.”

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 (August-May), 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 or holidays! 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.
