“Allison and Nicholas were a life saver…I needed help last minute for our dog and they gladly helped us. My dog was so comfortable he didn’t even want to leave when we came to get him lol. They are the perfect couple to keep your pup if needed and I’ll definitely contact them again. 🥰🥰💜💜”
“Not only does LV love Azzure but so do we! She is dependable, flexible, consistent! We use her during the fall a lot but also for all school breaks!!! We appreciate her and you would as well!!!”
“Hannah was amazing . Valarie was very calm coming home and not anxious at all . She responded amazingly with text and pictures . She was flexible with our schedule and just a great first experience with a dog sitter overall.”
“Once again a 5 star experience! This time Kristen watched our puppy over our wedding weekend and it was so nice having him well taken care of and still given updates even if we were too busy to reply!”
“Great experience! A wonderful family that loved on our dogs while we were gone. We received pictures every day and put us at ease with our first Rover experience. I highly recommend!”
“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.”
“We left our two girls with Jennifer over a weekend for a wedding we had to attend out of town. The girls were well taken care of, and had a blast with Jennifer! She sent frequent updates with photos, and was great in communicating before and during our reservation for overnight care. Our girls stayed in her home and were treated like family. Her place was well-equipped for the dogs. Would highly recommend to any pet parent in Fort Wayne!”
“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!”
“Violet always has the best time when she goes to Agnathas home! She comes back exhausted, from all the play time she gets in while there! Agnatha loves to spoil Violet as well, she snuggles her and lets her on the sofa! I was worried Violet wouldn’t want to come back home with us. It is a nice relief knowing our pup is getting the best care while we are away!”
“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 !”
“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!”
“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”
“We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!”
“I was new to Fort Wayne and had a baby back in Ohio. Emily and her family so flexible and available during that time. I don’t know what we would have done without her. We ended up extending a couple times and our dogs came home so happy. Knowing they were so well taken care of during a crazy time meant a lot. I would absolutely book again”
“Wai and Cody took great care of Rosie. As soon as we got home she fell right asleep on the couch. I could tell she had been walked and given plenty of attention. Will absolutely trust Wai with Rosie’s care again.”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs/cats. I have been a dog groomer for close to three years but have recently decided to become a stay at home mom. I can’t imagine my life without dogs! I have one dog that is an Australian Shepard named Bryce he is 5 years old, neutered, and very friendly. We go on walks daily. We also love to play fetch. I can also offer Dog grooming or nail trim services upon request. I am currently a stay at home mom! I am home 24/7 and can let your pup outside as often as they need. I have a fenced in yard so they can roam around off leash, sniff around, and enjoy themselves. I currently have one dog named Bryce. He is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd. He is very friendly and LOVES to play. He loves cats and dog alike. We go on daily walks and play fetch everyday. I love all dogs from teacup puppies to great danes. I also have experience in grooming so If your doggy needs a bath/haircut/nail trim I could provide those services as well. I have a fenced in yard, but I always go outside with the doggies while I let them outside. My Fur baby Bryce is lovely companion and will keep your baby company. We do allow pups on our couch and bed so they can get the best snuggles and comfort while you are away.
“Millie was EXCELLENT with our sweet pup! She provided plenty of pictures and updates everyday. She was super patient when our baby didn’t want to eat. She was very responsive to our messages, was ready for us when we dropped her off and had her all packed up when we picked her up. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! This is definitely a safe and loving place for your fur babies!”
“We would give Stephanie more than 5 stars if we could. Our dog loves staying at her house and we love that she always provides a wonderful enriching environment for him. Our little scaredy-dog is starting to come out of his shell thanks to Stephanie, her hubby Chris and their cats.”

Thank you April for watching Kuma again. We got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and it let us go on our vacation worry free. Even when I overslept for his pick up (I’m still so sorry about that!!!) April made sure to have all his things ready to go and that he was comfy in the meantime :)
She was phenomenal! Just so kind and patient with my dogs. I have a senior and a puppy (both small dogs) and she just went above and beyond for them and me! I truly cannot recommend her enough! If you’re in the area and can book with her I ABSOLUTELY would! Can’t thank her enough. She would send updates and photos daily answering questions comments and concerns. She really put me at ease and when I’m back I’ll book with her again!
This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than family which made us a little nervous. Rebecca's daily pictures and updates eased our minds. She took great care of him. I would highly recommend Rebecca for dog sitting. We will definitely use her again in the future.
Absolutely great! Our pup looked to be extremely happy and very well taken care of! Would definitely use again. She provides picture updates and quick response as well as flexible pick up and drop off times! 10 out of 10!! I would definitely book her and trust her with your furry friend!
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 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!!
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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
100% of sitters in Fort Wayne can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
