“Jennifer is a consistent caregiver for us for our two cats! We've entrusted our boys to her several times now, and she always does a fantastic job caring for them. They look forward to her presence and show their personalities for her now! She always does a great job and goes above and beyond. She even took our packages in for us.”
“Bree is absolutely the best for our cats. She takes care of them, and stayed with mine and every cat has been happy. The house was well taken care of and I would recommend her to anyone who has pets that will need them cared for like you would do yourself. 5 stars!”
About: I have had cats & medium-to-large breed dogs my entire life. I have experience with senior dogs, especially grumpy cats, and giving oral medications. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom to my spoiled rottweiler, Remington; so I have time during the day for walks or check-ins. I am a stay-at-home dog mom, so I have my days & evenings free to do check-ins or walks. I do NOT currently offer housesitting or boarding because of my spoiled rottweiler. 🐶💓 I ensure leashes are well fitting and follow all instructions provided. I secure any escape routes, and double check doors are locked or secure. I also make sure any choking hazards are put up or disposed of. Ensuring the safety of your pet is my number 1 priority.
About: Howdy, there I’m Jayla! I’ve been working with pets and animals for a few years now. I have experience with animals of many different species, ages, and sizes. I’ve worked with cats to hamsters to farm animals! I’ve given animals the proper medications that were needed. I absolutely love working with pets and animals they bring me so much joy and purpose! I am currently working part-time so that allows me more time to spend with your pets! I am currently available Monday-Friday from 8:45am-2:00pm and later that evening 6:45pm-9:30pm. No day is the same, so I might have some free time in between! I have a fenced in yard, and plenty of space for your fur baby to get some exercise. The pets that come to visit, love how peaceful the environment is, they have plenty to explore.
About: I’m Sarah and I would love to be your pet sitter for your dogs or cats. Since I was a kid I have kept and cared for many animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, rodent, horses, and frogs! It would be my pleasure to meet and care for your furry friend. Through Rover I have sat for many dog breeds including: huskies, labs, great danes, leonbergers, spaniels, dachshunds, beagles, black mouth curs, bulldogs, pugs, pit bulls, malteses, and more. They all have their unique personalities and energy level requirements that I am capable of providing for each breed. Currently, I specialize in trusted at-home overnight care, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I am also an excellent communicator with pet parents while you are away, sending plenty of photos and updates to make sure you are perfectly at ease with the care being given to your fuzzy children. I can currently care for up to 3 dogs per household. Shoot me a message and let’s connect today! Currently, Rover pet care is a top priority. I am also self-employed, but I am able to stay with your pets all day during in-home bookings, unless I step out to run errands or hit the gym. Dog walking means allowing your dog to get the energy out that they need while also receiving the enrichment of being safely outside. For in-home visits your pets will get their breakfast, lunch, and dinner right on time with any needed medication administered just as you instruct. Playtime is a favorite of mine with any animal I care for, just show me their favorite toys! When any questions or concerns arise I do not hesitate to contact the pet parents.
“Alexa was exactly what I needed to care for my Cat! As a first-time cat owner, I was really concerned of how my cat would respond to separated from me. Alexa immediately recognized her demeanor when I dropped her off and gave me the reassurance that I needed to know she was going to be okay. Alexa sent me photos through out the days we were apart and her bubbly personality made it easier knowing my cat was in the right hands. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I've been helping out families I know with dog and cat sitting since 2020 and am ready to do it in a more formal way. ——- Here's the story: my behaviorally-complex bestie turned me into a dog trainer, and now my day job is helping other families like mine. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP). ——- I like to take things slow when I meet a new pet, unless they're not into that kind of thing and would rather go straight to sharing our personal space. I can take a hint...because I've spent time learning body language! ——— I believe in meeting an individual's needs based on their responses to activities. We can find all kinds of projects to fulfill your pet's physical, mental, and emotional needs. Enrichment is the key! ——- I also have lots of experience caring for reptiles and amphibians, and I share my home with two snakes. 🐍 I work full-time from home, and have a flexible work schedule. This makes it easier to fit caring for folks' pets in the comfort of their own home into my schedule. As a Fear Free Certified Professional, the comfort of the pet in front of me is my #1 concern. I want to meet your pets before I drop in, so let's set up a meet and greet! ----- I love engaging pets with mentally stimulating activities that allow the expression of their natural behaviors. Since I build enrichment plans for pets for a living, I tend to find creative ways to incorporate what is available to help pets use their bodies and brains to have a good time.
“Jazmine provided amazing services to my fur babies while away. I didn’t worry about them, she made me feel secure about her ability to meet their needs and the expectations during our meet and greet. She’s punctual, professional, and has a positive attitude. Book her, you want be disappointed!”
About: I do have a full time job Monday-Friday, but my hours are flexible and I can pop out for a cat care visit when needed. I’m completely open on weekends so I’m available to give as much cat love as needed. I start and end each day with my cat children. Each morning they get love and attention and again when I come home from work. Litter boxes are scooped each day. We have an auto feeder, but the girls get canned food each day for extra liquid to their diet. Everyone gets brushed weekly and nails clipped monthly. We visit the vet each year for wellness visits. When I come to your home, we will go over the pet questionnaire and I’ll find out about your cat children. Your cats will be treated with the same love, attention and care that I provide my own.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for friends and family over the years. Along with my own two girls, a senior dog and a senior cat. I have a huge heart for animals and love them so much!! Would love to meet your furry friend Currently working part time during the week days. Would be able to check in / walk your buddy for you before work (9am) , on break around (12pm), or after work (4pm). Weekends fluctuate but will be available either in the morning or evening I treat every pet I meet like they’re my own. I will bring comfort and relief to your buddy whenever you need! I love spending time outside; throwing a ball, going on a run.
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet lover who would be happy to care for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾❤️ I currently have a lot of free time!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with 5 years of experience caring for pets, including pet sitting for family, friends, and people in my community. I’ve always been someone others can trust with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality, quirks, and routines. 💗 I have pets of my own, so I understand how hard it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else. When they’re in my care, I treat them like my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and the (not so) occasional treat! 💗 I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with special needs. I have experience administering oral and injectable medications to both dogs and cats and am comfortable following detailed instructions and maintaining their normal routines. 💗 I also always like to do a meet & greet before accepting a booking. It gives me a chance to meet you and your pet, learn their routine, go over any special instructions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. 💗 I’m also naturally a clean and tidy person and am great about cleaning up after myself. I’ll take care of your home just as thoughtfully as I take care of your pets and will always do my best to leave things as clean, or even cleaner, than I found them. 💗 I do unfortunately work full time, but my schedule varies throughout the week and I only work 3/7 days a week. Other than that, I’m a free woman willing to watch your fur babies for you. I am great with communication so we can always discuss availability! On the days I do work I get off at 6:30 PM and I’m free for the rest of the night for drop-in’s, walks, or an overnight stay! I will always respect your wishes in your home. I’ve always been a respectful and trustworthy person, I clean up after myself (and any fur babies), I’ll even leave the place better than I found it. When I’m caring for your pet, all my focus is on them and their needs, I keep a tight ship around here! I love the idea of pet sitting in your pets home because it keeps them comfortable in their own safe environment and stick to the routines that they are used to.
“Alicia was wonderful to work with. Gita absolutely loved her and Brad, and staying in their home for 10 days without ever feeling lonely gave me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
About: I have had the pleasure of caring for my own cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. I have experience with puppies and kittens to seniors and everything in between. I have helped watch pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I know how to properly introduce animals to new people and animals, and have experience with high anxiety pets. I am currently a stay at home mom with my two kids. I have plenty of availability for daily check-ins and walks with your pets. I care for pets in their own homes while their humans are at work or on trips. I have extensive experience feeding, providing medications and treats, and walking. I know how to use feeding puzzles and balls. I’ve used almost all varieties of harnesses and leads. I also have experience crating pets as needed.
About: I have been taking care of my 18-year-old cat since she was born. She has recently gone deaf and requires more attention. For two years, I frequently took care of a family with 5 children and 2 Great Danes. I give my cat attention daily, making sure she feels loved and content. This often includes filling her food, water, and changing her litter box, as well as many pets and cuddles. I would love to walk, play with, and take care of your pets. At home, I make sure my cat has a clean litter box and plenty of attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Wayne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Bree a thousand stars, I would! She went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable leaving my four cats and to make sure they felt safe with her. My cats aren’t easy to win over, but all four absolutely adored her! They got excited to greet her at the door and loved being nosy and watching everything she did. Knowing my babies were in such caring hands eased my anxiety so much. Bree is warm, personable, and truly fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for my fur babies. ❤️
Melinda was fantastic taking care of my babies while I was out of town. She communicated well and gave great notes for the check ins. She was also really flexible when our dates/times had to be adjusted. I’ll definitely be trusting her to babysit my dogs, cat, and bunny again. Especially with the extra TLC she gave one of my dogs when he had an anxiety episode.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fort Wayne is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
