“Bree did an outstanding job keeping care of our beloved dogs while we were on a trip! She is very professional and she spend a lot of time keeping us properly updated with how our dogs were doing, and she also took incredible pictures to show how much fun they were having! She helped us with puppy training for one of our dogs and she also spend a lot of time playing with both of them on her visits. Definitely a perfect option for dog care and we for sure will be keeping in touch with Bree!”

About: The camradiere of people and dogs is a special bond. They love, unconditionally, and deserve the same, in return. Happy to be one of their 'accepted'. Monday-Thursdays are best, but not limited. I'm semi-retired, just said goodbye to my close friend, a 14 year old Labarador. Wanting to continue my relationships with canines. I will adhere to the wishes of the pet owner, and follow any specific instructions they give, for both pet, and home guidelines. Very respectful.

I have always felt comfortable knowing that Katie will take great care of Lyla when I’m busy at work. She has incredible communication skills and goes above and beyond.

About: I’ve had cats ever since I was 9 years old, and I, being the eldest daughter, was the primary caretaker of them. The moment I moved out, I got a cat of my own, and that eventually multiplied into 3 fur babies. But I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I’ve raised multiple cats all the way to as young as 7 weeks old. I also have experience with shy, traumatized, and senior cats. I have walked plenty of dogs, ranging from Huskies to Jack Russel Terrier’s, and provided them with poop pickup, water, and play time. I cannot house a dog as I have my own fur babies, but I can drop in and check on your dog if you so please. I work from 4am-9:30am usually Tuesday-Saturday. I have open availability on Sundays and Mondays unless I have specific plans that day, but I will inform you and be as flexible as possible. My cats have two litter boxes. One is a litter robot and the other is a manual litter box. I have three cats so more than one litter box is needed. There are copious amounts of toys for them. We have a dedicated toy box to pull from whenever we notice our cats are getting bored of the current toys. One of my cats is a long furred cat, so I brush him every day to help him with matting and grooming. My other two cats are shorthair, I still brush them, but with a much shorter brush.
About: I've grown up with two dogs and cats and have pet sit without this app before. I offer amazing care and follow every care plan or specific routine for every animal I pet sit.

I mostly take care of my kitty as my grandparents take care of thier dog but I make both of them have everything they need on the daily. I absolutely adore them to death. I follow a routine when taking care of any pet I have the responsibility of. I make sure to learn behavior patterns and specific dietary needs etc. I make sure to meet the needs of every clients pet as close as possible.
About: I’m a friendly, trustworthy, and easygoing person who genuinely loves animals of all kinds. I have hands on experience caring for my three Dachshunds, a Blue Heeler, a Klee Kai, and two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and quality care while owners are away, treating every pet like they’re my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a full time student at Indiana Tech, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for morning and evening drop ins, feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m happy to work around your schedule and will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

I make sure they have clean spaces, fresh food and water, daily exercise, enrichment, and lots of love and attention. Caring for my disabled cat has also taught me patience and the importance of paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. My pets are spoiled with affection, and I take pride in giving them the best care possible every single day.
About: We are a husband/wife team. We have owned and loved pets most of our lives. Especially, cats and dogs. We give them that extra special attention they are craving when you are gone. Clint always loved brushing out his doggies fur. We both love to walk and play with our furry friends. We are both very easy going and friendly. Clint is legally blind. He doesn’t need a cane. Leah is my right hand. We do everything together, and together we make a great team! Clints disability is NOT a complication. We have pet sat several times over many years. We both have a completely clean background. We have never had a problem with drugs or alcohol. After years of pet sitting for family and friends, we thought, We should make our own little business! Really looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
About: I’ve got three doggies of my own at home who mean everything to me. Two of them are senior pups, one with hip dysplasia so i’m well versed in paying extra attention and care of those with some extra needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Wayne
Bree is very knowledgeable, gives thorough updates, and takes lots of pictures! At one of her first drop in visits, she had to deal with a messy situation with our pup and she handled it like he was her own. We love having someone we can trust take care of our fur babies and we are looking forward to continuing to work with her ❤️
She has been very patient with my dogs who are simply not used to being with someone other than me. The patience is appreciated as I know the relationship will grow and the trust will also build. The situation my dogs are in has been stressful and having her come in and spend time with them is helpful to them and myself. I’m very grateful to have found such a patient animal focused person for my dogs.
Katie has been absolutely amazing with Lyla! She is very considerate with my instructions, and cares deeply for my fur baby. I have always felt comfortable knowing that Katie will take great care of Lyla when I’m busy at work. She has incredible communication skills and goes above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone! Leaving your pet in the care of another can be scary, but Katie puts me at ease knowing Lyla is being loved like her own.
100% recommend Jennifer. We have a very nervous 50 pound Bernie doodle that likes to bark ferociously at strangers, but Jennifer was able to calm her down even though she was the first person to ever enter our house when we weren’t home and let the dogs out! She made sure they had sufficient time outside and even walk the yard with them. She brought them to their water and food bowls, and encouraged them to eat and drink. Then sat with them on the floor and gave them both individual attention. We are honestly overjoyed with the care that she provided and we will use her again, so should you!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Wayne choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
