Dog Boarding in Effie Drive, Fort Wayne, IN

“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“Azure is amazing. I am very grateful she took great care of my big baby while my family and I were out of town. Azure was very helpful, kind, and very communicative throughout Bears stay with her. 10/10 experience”

“Alexis is a five star host without a doubt, and quite possibly a professional photographer in the making 😃. We received regular update (complete with pictures) of our dog on a regular basis. She was very accommodating and made our first experience with Rover an easy one. I would definitely recommend her, if you need someone to watch your pet!”

“Natalie is wonderful!!! My vacation was so much better knowing that my baby was in such good hands. Natalie took great care of Sully, and she sent pictures every day, letting me know how things were going. He looked like he was having a great time! Natalie even gave me a tip for handling one of his annoying behaviors. She's a great caregiver, and I highly recommend.”

“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”

“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”

“April was very accommodating with our dog ! We scheduled a meet and greet and found time for me to do a trial boarding day before our week long vacation! We feel very safe with our senior dog under her care !”

“My pup slept all night after I got her back so I know she had fun playing with the other pups. Good contact during the stay with photos. Happy with my visit and last minute availability.”

“Very caring and was a fast communicator. Sent me frequent pics of my pup which eased all the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet! Thanks Rebecca!”

“Ebby had a great stay with Kristen! Kristen was very kind and made us feel very confident about leaving Ebby with her overnight. Ebby was nervous when we first got there, but Kristen made sure she felt safe and was very understanding. I got updates and pictures while we were gone. Ebby loved playing with Kristen's kitty! We have already booked Kristen for another weekend. Thanks, Kristen!!”

“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”

Ashley R.

“Very great FIRST experience. My boy did not have a personality change and was just as happy when I picked him up after 3 days. I highly recommend!”

“We absolutely love boarding with Millie. Our dog always feels at home. And while we have been traveling this holiday season. Our daily photos have been extra festive with our dog sitting in front of her Christmas tree. Millie is always very communicative and flexible with pick up times and in general with daily updates about our pet.”

About: Hi! I provide attentive, full-time care from my home, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to give consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. What sets me apart is the level of attention and structure I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them. Whether that means helping reinforce puppy training (crate training, basic commands, potty routines), sticking closely to a senior dog’s medication or mobility needs, or giving anxious pets extra patience and reassurance, I tailor care to each pet’s personality. I do have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and safely managed to ensure your pet’s security at all times. I’m comfortable caring for: • Puppies who need structure and frequent potty breaks • Senior pets who require a slower pace or medication • High-energy dogs who need active play and stimulation • Shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away and for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to build my day around the pets in my care rather than fitting them in between long absences. Mornings typically begin with feeding, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and some one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, I provide regular outdoor breaks (fully supervised), playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because I’m home, I can easily maintain your pet’s normal feeding schedule and routine. In the evenings, pets continue to receive attention and companionship so they feel settled and comfortable. My schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision and structure every day of the week. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a calm, structured, and safe environment. Because I’m home full-time, pets receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate preferences, exercise needs, and sleep habits. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, especially in a new environment. I have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outside time is closely supervised to ensure safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I prioritize feeding schedules, clean water, potty breaks or litter box care, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal in any setting is to create a low-stress, attentive experience where pets feel secure and cared for.

“I have never left my dogs before and was very nervous about it. But Stephanie was amazing!!! She sent me pictures and updated me and I never felt more comfortable while on vacation. She’s truly a gem and animal lover. I would 100% recommend.”

About: Hi I'm Gina! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. l've spent my entire life taking care of animals of all types and personalities. Along with 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, I've also cared for exotic pets of all types and sizes from Reptiles, mice, birds and more, to large farm animals 200+ pounds. I've cared for animals of all ages throughout my life, from kittens and puppies, to seniors who need more patience and support. I know how to move slowly when I need to, I know how to make animals feel at home in my space when their person isn't with them. My energy level is adaptable to the energy I get from your pet. Whether your animal wants a peaceful space or a fun getaway I can provide that. What sets me apart is the way I energetically connect with animals. Animals have been drawn to me since I was little. I study animal behavior on the side so I'm able to notice shifts in behavior easily. I am also experienced in training animals and I'm on the path to become a certified trainer. My current schedule and circumstances allow for boarding stays and day care at my house. I will always go the extra mile to be there to you and your animals! Thank you🫶🏻❤️ I respect the unique rhythm of every animal and I follow instructions to a T. Whether it's sticking to feeding routines, cleaning up with care, administering meds, or offering quiet company, I show up fully. My presence is gentle, adaptable, and entertaining; something animals tend to trust quickly. I have 6 dogs who are in a sectioned off part of the house and I have a big yard and a nice neighborhood to take pets outside on walks. I don't have a fence but I am extremely careful about it. I am able to handle animals three times my weight and I have never and would never let anything happen to your precious pet! I take pride in having a safe space for all animals in my care!

“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”

“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”

“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”

“Our 11month old puppy had a great time staying an entire week with Emily. We couldn't have been more pleased with Emily's love for animals and expertise of caring for our dog so we could enjoy our trip out town with no concerns about our dog having a great time while we traveled. Our puppy had never been boarded overnight before, is our only pet. Emily coordinated a fantastic meet-n-greet to assure a great boarding experience. Our dog got a long great, while enjoying playing with Emily's family, personal dogs, cat, and bird, and outside in their fenced back yard. Because it was rainy, our dog got pretty muddy (which I'm sure he loved), Emily gave him a good bath and all cleaned up to give us warm greetings when we picked him up. Emily is very responsive and her communication is great! Emily gave us daily updates along with pictures of our dog, which was very much appreciated. We'll definitely look forward to booking with Emily for future boarding needs.”
