1. Tracy E.


“Tracy walked my dogs daily for three years and even when he was in the hospital he got someone to cover for him. He took extra special care of my boys and I dread moving to a new city and trying to find someone that comes even close to his level of caring and expertise. Hes the best there is in the area. Try him and you'll never go anywhere else.”


2. Wes B.

“Wes was wonderful, Harriet was very happy when I got home.”


3. Ginny Y.

“Ginny was very friendly and prompt! And most importantly, my sweet old dog loved her. Thanks Ginny :)”


4. Christina G.


“Christina has been a blessing! It’s dark before I get home from work but now I have Christina who comes to my home and walks Milo in my neighborhood. It gives me peace of mind knowing Milo is being taken care of and a lot less stressful on me. She is incredibly kind and Milo looks forward to their walks. She got him a squeaker for Christmas, he loves that toy!”


5. Payton K.
“Payton was a blessing for us and our German shepherd! Dallas is usually a picky eater while we are away and Payton made her feel so comfortable that she ate all her food! You could tell she genuinely cared about our Dallas. Thank you Payton!!”




6. Evan C.

“First time Rover user here. Evan was great for our 1 year old dog Bingo. She was quick to respond and understood exactly what we needed. She stopped by the day before for a quick meeting and then sent pictures when the walk was over. We will use her services again. Highly recommend.”


7. Megan H.
About: Starting from my late family dog to having my own dog and taking care of my now family's dog, I enjoy fulfilling dogs' needs and making them happy--taking them on long walks, playing with them with their toys, feeding them healthy treats, talking to them and believing they respond, -- anything to see them smile brings me fulfillment. From the past couple of years, I just see myself surrounded by dogs, it seems to work out that way without even trying! I have a part-time job in the area and know that I will be more than happy to take care of your beloved dogs in between! my Australian shepherd (male) loves other dogs, he is very sweet and humble. But I have an apartment which means I cannot host dogs in my own home and would have to tag him along for house sitting at your house, if your pet is okay with another dog.


8. Kalia S.
“Kalia has a tender heart and really cares for your fur babies. I always knew my dog was well taken care of when I returned home. She would send me pictures of my dog while on walks and I really enjoyed being part of the care she provided. It helped me to know that my dog was being taken care of while I was away. I recommend Kalia. She’s an intent listener and reassures you there is nothing to worry about.”


9. Liv T.
“I have known Liv since birth and the most distinctive trait about her is her love for animals! When Liv started to discover her passion for animals it sparked a fire. My mom would pick me up from her house and ask, “How was the zoo?” jokingly of course! Liv has had and still has pets ranging from hermit crabs, lizards, dogs, foster kitty litters, cats, and an aspire to get a hedgehog! Liv has a love for any animal whether it is a goose crossing the street or her own personal cats💗 She calls all animals her friends and cares for each with every inch of her heart. She is truly the only friend I would trust to babysit my animals and she will go above and beyond!”


10. Nicole W.
“Nicole did a great job caring for my two dogs. We were gone for a week, and when we came back the dogs were happy, healthy, and the house was clean. Our dogs have frequent indoor accidents, but Nicole cleaned them up fantastically. I would absolutely hire her again. She was punctual and attentive and the dogs loved her!”


11. Miranda Rose "Elliot" O.

“Excellent working with our extremely traumatized dog. She works a lot with her before she could get her to go outside. There was an extreme amount of extra effort on Randy’s part five out of five stars definitely would hire her again.”


12. Heather S.
About: I am a mom of 2 college-aged kids. I work from home and have time and love to share. I have owned my own pets since graduating from college. My family has been blessed with multiple dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens. We no longer live on a farm but live in a very animal-friendly subdivision with abundant sidewalks for dog walking. My daughter and I are animal lovers and have fostered 4 puppies and numerous adult dogs waiting for transportation to their furever homes. We also volunteer seasonally with the Humane Society of Cozumel and assist with spay/neuter recovery. We welcome the energy that 4-legged visitors bring to our home. We have an adopted, aging chihuahua mix who is not very active. I would love to talk to you and meet your babies before either of us makes a commitment. Of course, it has to be a good fit. Your confidence and trust in a pet-sitter is crucial. I believe I can be the one to love and care for your baby like you do. I live in the Sw suburbs and have a large fenced backyard that backs up to a wooded area. We have lots of great sidewalks for taking long walks with little traffic. I work from home online Monday through Friday. My schedule is flexible and I enjoy the company that dogs provide. I can provide plenty of outside time and playtime during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard. I also provide walks in my neighborhood or yours. The activity level is dependent on your pets needs. I always feed dogs separately.


13. Chelsea G.
“I have known Chelsea for almost 2 years now. Her care and compassion toward our furry friends is unsurpassed. I wholeheartedly recommend Chelsea for any of your pet care needs!”


14. Sumer F.
“Sumer was amazing with my fur babies! She has such a calm, loving personality that even my nervous pittie was immediately comfortable with her. She sent tons of videos and pictures while I was gone so I knew they were in great hands and being loved on. She didn’t bat an eye at all my crazy Dog Mom requests and even did other things like water my garden! I’m looking forward to using her again!”


15. Jordan R.


“Jordan did a great job, Idgie looked happy in the photoes i received. She let me know she was going to wait until it stopped storming and raining before their walk. Thank you Jordan.”


16. Olivia C.
About: I am very used to being around all types of different dogs. I have a high energy dog myself, and know the amount of time and level care our pets need! I am fully prepared to make any accommodations for you and your pet’s needs! My quality of care and tailoring to your needs are my top priority. 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.


17. Lizz H.
“Lizz was great! My Jax is a handful and very energetic but Lizz had no issues with him. My request was also pretty last minute and she was able to accommodate. Thanks a ton!”


18. Ana F.
About: I’ve been the neighborhood pet/house sitter since I was 14. I love helping people and I get to watch adorable animals while I do it. Count me in!☺️ I do have a job but I love animals so I pet sit as a side gig☺️ even though I do have a job, I’m very available as well! I prefer pet sitting at the clients home. So they can be comfortable in their own environment. I also still live with my family and it would be really crazy because we do have a lot of kids in the house. And I want all my attention on the little fur babies.
