“I cannot say enough good things about Allison and Nicholas! They are very responsible, warm, kind and love my dog like theirs! I can tell Daisy loves them and had so much fun at their place! They gave us peace of mind while we were away from home sending frequent updates! Highly recommended!”
“Azure accepted my booking at the last minute. I am so happy I found her as she is located really close to me and she was phenomenal with Bella. She was so kind and caring. She also gave me updates as to how Bella was doing - that was special for me. I love that Bella was at a home rather than a kennel. I will defineitely be using her again. Thank you Azure!”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job providing loving care to my Shih Tzu. She sent to me daily updates and photos; it was so reassuring to know my pup was in the hands of an attentive caregiver.”
“Absolutely thrilled with our first experience with the Rover app, staying with Kristen! Our puppy Lemon can’t wait to stay again. Daily pics of him having a blast and running with other pups made the time away easier. We’ve already recommended to our friends :)”
“April and her kids were amazing with Teddy! She did a meet and greet before our trip and kept us up to date throughout our vacation. We will definitely use her again for upcoming trips.”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“Mariana was amazing! She took such great care of our dog when we went on a week vacation. She took daily pictures and cared for him like he was her own. We were so grateful for her. We will defiantly use her again.”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“Geleea was amazing with my cat and helped her feel right at home. She provided me with pictures and videos ensuring her safety and also took her in pretty last minute! thank you so so much!”
“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!”
“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 !”
“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!”
“Jennifer has sat my 17 lb Eskimo dog mix twice now, and each time she has been easy to work with, communicative, friendly, and professional. I'm really grateful that she's been available when I'm in town visiting family.”
“Emily took such good care of our Nessi. I loved the pictures and updates she provided. It made me feel great knowing my dog was being so we'll cared for. I could relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding. Thank you Emily for everything.”
“My two little ones were right at home with Heather. She has a welcoming environment and plenty of space for pups to run and play around in. I would highly recommend Heather and will definitely be using again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Wayne
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.
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!
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!
Amazing experience! Both Taco and I were thrilled with her care and attention. She is so loving, responsible, and attentive. You can truly tell she loves what she does. I felt completely at ease leaving Taco with her. 100% recommended - we will definitely be back!
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! 🙂
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
