“My dogs are very needy and Allison & Nicholas catered to them! One dog has recently gone blind and she was carried and treated so well - making sure she knew where everything was. The other did food refusal because we were gone and they gently hand fed him - what a spoiled pup! Both dogs had wonderful outside time and were snuggled a lot. The daily pictures and videos made our hearts at ease. Thank you so much!!”
“This is the second time I've use Natalie for boarding since she did a great job the first time. My Lucy remembered where she was and was super excited to ser her again! Lots of pictures and updates daily. I will be using her the next time I need boarding again.”
“April and her family were great hosts for our dog. Finn got much attention. I appreciated the photos April sent as well. I knew Finn was in good hands. Thanks.”
“Rebecca is fantastic. My doggo loves hanging out with her. She gives him lots of walks, attention, and hang time, while following our outline for his specific needs. He’s very calm and happy with her.”
“Kristen and her home are inviting and wonderful! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with her, and can tell she took expert care of her and gave her lots of love. If you’re looking for peace of mind with where your pet stays, we highly recommend Kristen!”
“Mindi did a great job. Gizmo needed extra care due to his age she handled it like a pro! Gizmo needed meds and used an inhaler and had an ear infection at the time. I highly recommend Mindi she is very attentive and takes special care when dog sitting!”
“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”
“Alex and Jayce were wonderful with our dog. So welcoming and very responsive. Our dog had a great time playing with their dogs. They sent great pictures and we could tell our dog was comfortable at their house. Would recommend to friends and family and will use them again!”
“They took such great care of our dog (Bear)! They took him for walks and took lots of pictures of him having fun with the other dogs and feeling right at home! I knew he was in good hands, and they will be keeping him again!”
About: I have a Husky (10) and a Pomeranian (12) who love to play with others. I am open to any age- a puppy who needs training, an elderly pup who needs special attention, and anything inbetween! I am currently home 7 days a week to help with your furry best friend! I am open to a schedule that best fits your needs. I have 2 dogs of my own who love to play with others. I have a fenced in yard for them to run around and play. I can easily cage mine or yours (if preferred) if separation is needed.
“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”
“Our pups had so much fun with hers and we got some cute photos of their stay! Easy communication and nice to know there's always someone there with the pups.”
“Agnatha was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her really quickly and had a wonderful time with her. She sent me many pictures to show how they were doing and was communicative about what they were doing and how they were eating and such. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you, Agnatha!!”
“Emily did so awesome with our husky Loki while we were on vacation! We loved that he was able to have a fenced in yard and a bunch of other dogs to play with. Emily also sent us pictures and updates every day, which I appreciated a lot! Overall I would highly recommend Emily for boarding and will be booking with her next time I’m out of town.”
“Jennifer and her family were amazing. She took wonderful care of our sometimes anxious pups. She even made sure they took their medicine and felt safe during a thunderstorm. Her home was clean and well-equipped for dog sitting. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”
“Very nice and very sweet! My dogs are pretty anxious but they were more than fine with her! Heard they got a lot of cuddles and play time which shows with how tired they are at home! Appreciate how much my dogs were loved !”
“Wai was amazing! She took a lot of care to ask lots of questions to best accommodate our dog, sent us daily updates and photos, and far exceeded what was expected! I will be using her from now on”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Wayne
This was our 1st time using Rover, or any similar app/company. Our request was last minute, involved a partial weekend, and although we had travel dates, fight times weren't locked in. Yet, Wai immediately responded, did a meet & greet a few hrs later, and did final booking same day once flights were booked. Wai is extremely friendly & dog knowledgeable, and August (boxer) was immediately comfortable! Wai worked with our travels with no issues. In addition, she was very accessible while we were away, with daily messages & pics/videos. Although August was excited to see us, it was obvious she was happy and had been cared for with love. We will definitely be repeat clients, if Wai will have us. Thank you Wai & Cody, for everything! 🙂
Pen had the most wonderful two and a half weeks with Rebecca. He loves her so much I plan to set up some daycare visits just so he can spend time with his best pal. They went in walks and snuggled on the couch, she gave him lots of love and attention, he was always happy and well cared for. She sent updates and pictures every day so I could feel confident he was relaxed and happy. He even made friends with the people in her neighborhood! He’s a social butterfly and she knew I was okay with him saying hello. This was my first time leaving him for a long vacation and I was really nervous about how successful he would be, but he had the most wonderful time with Rebecca and I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing how happy my guy was.
I would absolutely recommend Geleea if you need a trustworthy,kind, and affectionate dog sitter. She took care of my Great Pyrenees while I was out of town, and gave me assurance that my dog is doing well by sending updates and pictures everyday. She put my mind at ease the whole time my dog was under her care. Thank you so much!!
My dogs are very needy and Allison & Nicholas catered to them! One dog has recently gone blind and she was carried and treated so well - making sure she knew where everything was.

The daily pictures and videos made our hearts at ease. Thank you so much!!
So many pictures were provided to us while we were on vacation, and that alone put us at ease! I didn't want my doggo in a kennel at a facility, so I turned to Jennifer, and she didn't disappoint! Onyx looked so incredibly happy and enjoyed spending time with the other doggos. My fiance and I 100% recommend Jennifer and her services for anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Our flights were unexpectedly canceled last night, and we weren’t able to fly out until Thursday. Alexandra stepped in without hesitation and took such great care of our pets during a very stressful situation. She was incredibly kind, flexible, and reassuring, and we were so relieved knowing our pets were in good hands. We were extremely happy with the way she helped us out and took care of everything. Truly grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Mikendra was nothing short of amazing! she was definitely a life saver. she came to our rescue when we were in a last minute desperate hunt for a sitter and she definitely delivered . Our fur baby was in good hands and well taken care of. And I like the fact that she keeps you updated with pics throughout the stay of your pet. I would definitely recommend her.
Brian immediately connected with Narius and had a very calm and steady presence that helped put my dog at ease. He updated me regularly with photos and comments about how Narius was doing, and took him to the dog park,let him run around, get some energy out and have fun. Brian is intelligent and communicative and I will definitely rebook him.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fort Wayne on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fort Wayne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Fort Wayne sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Fort Wayne landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fort Wayne home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fort Wayne.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Fort Wayne sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
