About: My parents had cats growing up and as an adult I have fish, a dachshund, and two buff orange tabby cats of my own. I have experience doing drop-ins and house sitting for friends and family. I love all animals, but especially enjoy checking in on cats in an enriching way when their owners are away. I am working full-time as a client advocate from 9-5pm. I could do drop-ins early before work or after 5:00pm most week days. I can do more frequent drop- ins on the weekends. I will always check water, food, litter boxes, and cat behavior for comfort and health reasons. I have no problem working automatic cat feeders, feeding raw, or other types of food. I will scoop boxes and sweep around them at each visit to maintain cleanliness. Play and enrichment are important to me, so I will engage your cat in play if they desire.

“Natalie is 5 Stars amazing! We came home to 3 tiny pups who were wore out from the fun and love Natalie brings with her.

Our dogs loved her and I think disappointed when they saw it was us coming home and not her!!”

About: Hello! I am new here at Rover. I’ve had dogs and cats all throughout my life. When I was a kid, I rehabilitated hurt animals that I found outside or on the road-caring is second nature for me.

Fort Wayne dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

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!
