About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).

About: I have a dog of my own and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your pet. I’ve always had many of pets throughout my life and would love to add your pet to my extended family. I am looking forward to showing your pet the love and attention that all humans and pets need. I live an active lifestyle so I am always out and about taking my dog on a walk. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night I will be walking with my pupper and would love for your pet to come along for the ride. I am a frequent attendee at the dog parks and as long as your dog is vaccinated I’m sure they would have a grand time there as well. I can feed, walk, run, and even pick up your dogs poop. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet care as I have a dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was a wee pup. I am able to work with pets of all sizes as many of my friends and family have had me watch their pets while they were away.

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, including previous house-sitting experience and working at zoos. I love being able to spend time with pets and give them love and care while their families are busy or out of town! I currently have full availability and can fully adapt to your schedule. I can do at home care, including overnights, drop in visits, or walks whenever needed! I live in a single-bedroom apartment, so I would only feel comfortable providing care in my home for cats. I have lots of experience working with animals both professionally and for friends and family. I love being able to care for pets at their comfort level with new people and find so much joy in being able to fit into your pets lives!

About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.

This was my first time using Rover and the entire process made me a little nervous. Tracy scheduled a meet and greet and answered all of my annoying questions. I have been using him for three weeks now and couldn't be happier. He sends pics from each walk and I can tell that my dog is genuinely enjoying himself.

Millie has been wonderful!! She’s been walking Simon a few times a week for several months now. Simon is always excited to see her. He’s an old pup and Millie never rushes him or takes him farther than he’s able to go. I am so grateful to have her! She’s been very flexible and understanding whenever I’ve had things come up at the last minute. I’m really grateful we were able to connect!

We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?

About: I've taken care of pets almost my entire life, the majority that I have taken care of are cats and dogs. I always make sure they get what they need such as food, water, exercise, play time, and attention. I always make sure that I take care of and treat them the way I treat my own. I am currently gaining a bachelor's degree in animal health and behavior. So I do know what to expect when it comes to a different variety of animals and their behaviors. Your pets are in safe hands. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule around each booking. I make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and time, and I always follow their established routine to keep them comfortable. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I prioritize respecting their space and belongings. I only use items related to pet care and follow all household guidelines provided by the client. I always clean up after both myself and the pet, and I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized environment. Clients can feel confident knowing their home will be well cared for and left in excellent condition.

Jona was on time and listened to all instructions for my pups' walk. After a rainy day, I was happy that Jona was able to get a good walk in to tire my guy out. Will definitely be using Jona again for future walks!

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I love! Any time I have the opportunity to care for an animal is a time I am grateful for! I love to take walks with my pups, play games with my cats, and snuggle with all of the above! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have animals in my home so I am not open to caring for other pets at my residence. But I have a lot of availability and willingness to care for your pet at your home or do dog walks. I have experience crating my pets, taking walks on leashes, and play time in a fenced yard. I can adapt to your pet needs and follow all necessary safety protocols.

From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping every pet comfortable and happy.

Hamilton, Fort Wayne, IN, 46808

About: I grew up in a household full of dogs and cats and a turtle! This lifelong exposure taught me that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. For the past few years, I’ve specialized in in-home pet sitting, offering both daytime visits and overnight stays to ensure your pets feel secure in their own environment. I am particularly experienced with high-energy and reactive pups. My own 'wild' puppy has taught me patience and various positive reinforcement training techniques, so I’m well-equipped to handle strong pullers or dogs who get a bit nervous on walks. Whether it's a calm senior cat or a zoomie-prone puppy, I know how to keep them engaged and safe. As a college student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have the ability to step away for midday walks or check-ins, ensuring your pet is never alone for too long. During the summer months, I am out of school and only work a part-time job one day a week. This means I have nearly 24/7 wide-open availability for housesitting, extended stays, and frequent drop-ins to keep your furry (or shelled) friends company! I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being extremely cleanly and respectful of your space. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it (if not a little tidier!). Beyond the house, your pet's safety is my #1 priority. I am hyper-vigilant during walks and always adhere to your specific household rules regarding furniture, feeding, and routine. I treat every 'pet child' with the same love, attention, and protection I give my own, so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.
