About: I am a stay-at-home mom with a 1 social and friendly dog of my own and two dog-friendly cats. I am willing to work with many different personalities when it comes to our visiting pups. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your dog’s specific needs and offer the attention they need to feel comfortable with me. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times, transportation to and from my home if needed, and I have plenty of extra supplies so that you can leave behind any non-essential items. I hope to provide your dog with the type of care that allows you to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet. Rest assured that I will be upfront and honest if I am not able to meet your expectations, rather than neglect your dog and leave them scared and missing you! Dogs are welcome to play with other furry friends, but I also provide them privacy if they need a little space. I am able to separate dogs within my home and yard to keep them safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become fast friends so you can be confident in my services. **At this time, I am unable to host dogs larger than ~40 lbs.** I do not work outside of my home. I have 3 children so I do leave the house for school and activity transportation. I am home with the dogs between drop-off and pick-ups for my kids.

About: I’m Sarah and I would love to be your pet sitter for your dogs or cats. Since I was a kid I have kept and cared for many animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, rodent, horses, and frogs! It would be my pleasure to meet and care for your furry friend. Through Rover I have sat for many dog breeds including: huskies, labs, great danes, leonbergers, spaniels, dachshunds, beagles, black mouth curs, bulldogs, pugs, pit bulls, malteses, and more. They all have their unique personalities and energy level requirements that I am capable of providing for each breed. Currently, I specialize in trusted at-home overnight care, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I am also an excellent communicator with pet parents while you are away, sending plenty of photos and updates to make sure you are perfectly at ease with the care being given to your fuzzy children. I can currently care for up to 3 dogs per household. Shoot me a message and let’s connect today! Currently, Rover pet care is a top priority. I am also self-employed, but I am able to stay with your pets all day during in-home bookings, unless I step out to run errands or hit the gym. Dog walking means allowing your dog to get the energy out that they need while also receiving the enrichment of being safely outside. For in-home visits your pets will get their breakfast, lunch, and dinner right on time with any needed medication administered just as you instruct. Playtime is a favorite of mine with any animal I care for, just show me their favorite toys! When any questions or concerns arise I do not hesitate to contact the pet parents.

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by creatures big and small—everything from conures to bison. From an early age, I learned not just how to care for animals, but how to truly respect them. That foundation deepened over the years into a lifelong appreciation for the bond we share with our animal companions. Adopting my dog Uschi was life-changing—she taught me about unconditional love, loyal companionship, and even nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced my commitment to providing pets with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, respect any dietary needs, and make sure they feel calm and cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to run, play, and give your sweet baby the love they deserve! I currently work remote at my own pace, so I have full availability any time of day, morning or over night. Complete flexibility to your schedule. My overnight stays are flexible and can be tailored to your pet’s specific needs. I’m happy to take care of small home tasks like bringing in the mail or taking out the trash—just let me know what you'd like. We can also go over feeding schedules, walk routines, and note any areas that are off-limits to ensure everything runs smoothly. I understand that separation anxiety is common, and I approach each visit with patience, empathy, and a calming presence. Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I’m also very mindful of pet nutrition—no treats or dietary changes will be made without your clear consent. I’m available for a wide range of time frames and am happy to adapt to your pet’s rhythm and routine, providing consistency, comfort, and a little extra love while you're away.

I recently moved back to the area and have lots of free time! I am currently in between jobs since recently moving back to my hometown so my schedule is quite flexible for client needs. I have reliable transportation as well. I can do whatever you would like me to do for your pet whether that is crating them, taking them out, feeding them on a schedule, taking them on walks, etc.
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! From being little to an adult, I have taken care of/owned all types of animals. Currently I have a Tibetan mastiff, a keeshond and a Pomeranian! I also have a 125 gallon fish tank. Animals have always been my hobby and I cannot wait to help give you a piece of mind that your loved baby is taken care of while you are away! Scheduling will be dependent on what time is needed. Care on weekends would be open to any time needed. Week days would have to be scheduled. I treat and love all pets like they are my own. I would ensure their safety, and make them feel loved while the family is away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family friends and neighbors since I was very young. I also have a lot experience with cats, as I own two myself!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fort Wayne is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $4 and $22 per walk.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Fort Wayne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fort Wayne after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Wayne. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
