“This was our first time using Rover. Tracy was excellent and very professional! Our dogs we’re crazy about him at the meet and greet. He also took care of our cats. We arrived back from vacation with happy well cared for pets and a home in perfect order. Thank you Tracy! Rachel K.”
“Emma is the best and a true angel! We have three standard poodles who are our 4 legged kids and we have never left them in someone’s care outside of family. Poodles are very family oriented and can be wary of strangers. After meeting Emma, we were amazed at how quickly the girls took to Emma as if they had known her for a lifetime. She came to our home and provided outstanding care. Emma provided us periodic updates during the day and even sent pictures showing us how well things were going. Emma is a true blessing to our family and I know we will reach out to her again! 💕🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.
“Lisa gave great updates, followed my dogs’ schedules properly, even cleaned up some messes which I am so appreciative of! She gave them lots of love and care! She was great!”
About: Hi, I’m Adriana — a yoga and meditation teacher with a calm, grounded presence that dogs seem to love. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve long been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends, family, and roommates. Whether it's weekends away, work days, or longer travel, I’ve reliably cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I bring patience, mindfulness, and a deep respect for your dog’s energy and needs. I’m confident with walks, feeding routines, cuddle& downtime, and play sessions tailored to your pup. I’m also experienced giving oral and topical medications, though I prefer not to take on complex medical care or injections. My goal is to make sure your doggo feels comfortable, loved, and at ease while you’re away—so you can feel the same. I work part-time and have the flexibility to create my own schedule, which allows me to offer care during weekdays, weekends, and a variety of time windows. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet is well cared for while you're away. I provide care in your pet’s home and neighborhood, where they feel most safe and at ease. I aim to keep their routine familiar and comforting—whether that means visiting their favorite parks, taking their usual walking routes, or keeping feeding and playtime consistent. I treat your home with respect, your pet with genuine care, and I’m always reliable and communicative to ensure you feel confident in the care your pet is receiving.
“Tricia is absolutely wonderful with our pets! We haven't ever seen them take to to strangers as well s they did her. Her laugh while playing with the dogs was truly infectious. We've already booked her again for our next vacation.”
“Samantha was such a great house sitter!! She stayed with my two beagles and geriatric cat for a full week. She successfully managed their shenanigans and was very communicative the whole time, sending me pictures and updates. She also took great care of the house. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Jenna did not disappoint. She came over weeks prior to meet our two dogs and learn their individual needs. While we were out of town, she sent daily updates and photos of dogs. Upon returning home, I was pleasantly surprised how clean Jenna had kept it. I teased her that I believed our dogs were sad upon our arrival because they certainly were looking for her instead. I could not have asked for a better pet sitter and animal lover to watch over our fur babies. We certainly will use Jenna again. A million thanks again!”
“Boston Did fantastic with my 2 dogs, she was reliable and easy to communicate with...She sent pics and let me know how my 2 dogs were doing, she was very quick to respond...her prices are very reasonable and I would highly recommend her...Thanks Boston..”
About: Hi there! I’m Ada— a lifelong animal lover with over 17 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve grown up with larger dogs in my family for all of my 18 years of life! Whether it’s a high-energy husky or a shy senior pug, I tailor every walk or visit to your pet’s unique needs and personality. I understand how important it is to feel confident in your pet’s care while you’re away, so I make it my mission to keep them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I’m always on time, easy to reach, and happy to send photo updates after every walk! Please feel free to reach out! Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine, even though my part-time job schedule changes week to week. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know exactly when I’m free. Most weeks, I’m available for morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekends I’m very open. I’m always happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet is cared for when you need it. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for at all times. When pets stay with me, they’ll be in a clean, calm environment where they can relax and be themselves. I don’t have other pets, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods. I follow your care instructions closely and I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. When walking or visiting pets in your home, I take the same care: checking gates, leashes, and surroundings to keep everything safe. I treat every animal with patience and respect, and I know how important it is to earn both your trust and your pet’s.
“Sumer is the best house/pet sitter on rover and in Fort Wayne! We are glad we booked with her so our cat could stay at home with no added stress of traveling. She made that successful! Thank you Summer!”
“Natalie was excellent with my dog! I left for a week vacation and she house sat for him. She came over before I left to meet him and immediately had my shy dog excited to play fetch with her. She kept me updated throughout the week and I came home to a healthy/happy dog! Would definitely recommend!”
“Nina did a wonderful job housesitting and watching our 3 puppies!! She kept us in constant communication with texts and pictures. She also gave our pups so much love while we were away. We would highly recommend and will use Nina in the future. Thanks again!!”
“Lindsey did a wonderful job taking care of our special needs pup. I was looking for someone to care for him in my home and for someone to stay for the day and she hit it off with him right away, sent texts and videos throughout the day and made me very comfortable living him.

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 fur mom with 2 fur babies of my own. I would love to help provide care for your beloved furry family member while you are away! I am available for drop in visits, in home sitting and dog walking. I have had furry family members my entire life and have had two beagle mix dogs of my own for 11 years. I walk them twice a day and often take them to the park, store or nearest watering hole. My experience with dogs has allowed me to learn dog behavior and how to both lead and be fast friends with your pup. I have experience with giving medications, high anxiety dogs, and can follow any instructions. Peace of mind while I care for your pup is of utmost importance to me. I’m currently working part time at my children's school just 2 mornings per week. I am rarely away from home for more than 3-4 hours at a time. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to have friends visit. Your dogs will be made comfortable and part of the family in my home.
“Hailey was amazing! She was a great house and dog sitter for me! Everything went great and she took excellent care of my “girls”! Would highly recommend her!! Will be using her again for future travel.”
