“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”
“Angie took great care of my fur babies. One cat doesn’t take to people right away but that changed with Angie. Wanted to be petted and very talkative. I highly recommend Angie.”
“Jen was AMAZING when it came to caring for not only my pup, but also my parents pups! She was communicative & friendly as well as professional & flexible when we made last minute changes. Not to mention compassionate to the pups! All things you *should seek in your pets care provider- highly recommend!!”
“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”
“Mariah was great! Her photo updates always showed that Duffy was having fun, and in good hands. Communication is important when we entrust our fur friends to others, and Mariah was right on top of that. Will definitely book her again when I have opportunity to travel!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From lizards, to birds, cats and dogs, you name it. For the last 3 years I have been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, coworkers, and friends of friends as an in house sitter. I am currently working full time, however, my work life is very flexible with flexible hours. I can do middle of the day check ins if that is what you would prefer with no problem. I do spend a lot of time with the pets late afternoons to late evenings if I am not staying in the residence. When caring for pets in your home, I encourage a very detailed day to day that your pet has so I do not break from that routine for them as much as possible. It’s my hope for you and your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. No needs or routine is too inconsiderate for me.
About: I love caring for animals, but travel enough to where I know I can’t have my own anymore. I watch my grand-dogs and I just have a blast with it. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life until now and have some love to give to your cute pet! I’ve had dogs ranging in sizes from a dachshund to a pure bred mastiff. I am almost always at home, so I can provide constant care and play time during the day. I am proficient is giving medications as well. (Even to the stubborn ones!) I take plenty of pictures and share lots of updates, so you won’t need to worry while you’re away. I look forward to giving your pet all of the love and special attention that it deserves! I spend the majority of my time at home so I have plenty of time to spoil your pet. When I do need to leave it’s not more than an hour or two. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet the needs of your pet. I live in an apartment and there is a walking trail right outside my door.
“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”
“We love Hannah! She is reliable, consistent, and prioritizes availability. She is also an excellent communicator, and our dog, Bella, loves her!! We are SO grateful for Hannah and know Bella will be well taken care of with her!”
“This is my second time hiring Edmy and she and her husband were as wonderful as before! She’s very attentive and thorough and, most importantly to me, she very clearly loves my dogs and treats them as well as I would!”
“Natalie is a true gem! 💎 We could feel her energy and dedication to providing the best care for our pets right from our first meeting, and we didn’t worry at all while we were away. Natalie’s communication was excellent, including photos, and she went above and beyond our expectations, leaving our home neat and organized when we returned. Natalie is highly recommended, and we will definitely ask her to sit for us again soon.”
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.

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 have experience in caring for senior and disabled dogs, especially blind ones. I have also reared and house trained two puppies to adulthood and are still with my family to this day. They can walk unleashed (I would never do this with a dog that is not mine!) and even know protective commands. I am currently homebound so you furbaby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby and would enjoy a companion to walk with. I always have leashes and body vest on the door at the ready for any potty breaks and walks, no fence no problem. Stairs and basements will be blocked off all times to ensure safety and rooms will always remain closed. For house guests, we have an end table crate to ensure visibility when I am just resting. There is a regular metal crate and a spare room dedicated to any overwhelmed doggy.

I especially love big dogs, but like I said before…I love ALL animals, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have ample time to play with your animals! I run errands for my family as well, so frequent stops would be no problem! I am able to do whatever your dog needs as long as it’s at your own home. We have two cats, and it wouldn’t be smart for me to bring them here.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Wayne
Bree was amazing!! It was my first time using rover and I can say I will be using Bree’s services again. She communicated very well and set up a meet and greet. Our kitty named Chicken instantly fell in love with her. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away, she sent plenty of photos and updates on what they did together during the Drop-In visits. I couldn’t recommend her more😊
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fort Wayne on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 392 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Wayne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Wayne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Wayne. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
