“Tracy did such a great job! I have three Samoyeds which can be a handful at times. He sent daily pictures. I plan to use him again! Thank you Tracy!”


“Lisa gave great updates, followed my dogs’ schedules properly, even cleaned up some messes which I am so appreciative of! She gave them lots of love and care! She was great!”


“Stephanie was great to work with! Always gave plenty of updates throughout the day about the dogs and sent pictures of them as well! This was the longest time we have left someone with our pets and I am so thankful that Stephanie was the one watching them. She treated them as her own and our house was left just as we left it! Will definitely use Stephanie again and recommend her for any services!”


“Brianna did an amazing job and did well with our dogs. She was accommodating and understanding of their needs. She does only work within a certain radius, though, and neither of us realized that until too close to time. For this reason, we will not book again.”


“Emma is the best and a true angel! We have three standard poodles who are our 4 legged kids and we have never left them in someone’s care outside of family. Poodles are very family oriented and can be wary of strangers. After meeting Emma, we were amazed at how quickly the girls took to Emma as if they had known her for a lifetime. She came to our home and provided outstanding care. Emma provided us periodic updates during the day and even sent pictures showing us how well things were going. Emma is a true blessing to our family and I know we will reach out to her again! 💕🐾”


About: Hi, I’m Adriana — a yoga and meditation teacher with a calm, grounded presence that dogs seem to love. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve long been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends, family, and roommates. Whether it's weekends away, work days, or longer travel, I’ve reliably cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I bring patience, mindfulness, and a deep respect for your dog’s energy and needs. I’m confident with walks, feeding routines, cuddle& downtime, and play sessions tailored to your pup. I’m also experienced giving oral and topical medications, though I prefer not to take on complex medical care or injections. My goal is to make sure your doggo feels comfortable, loved, and at ease while you’re away—so you can feel the same. I work part-time and have the flexibility to create my own schedule, which allows me to offer care during weekdays, weekends, and a variety of time windows. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet is well cared for while you're away. I provide care in your pet’s home and neighborhood, where they feel most safe and at ease. I aim to keep their routine familiar and comforting—whether that means visiting their favorite parks, taking their usual walking routes, or keeping feeding and playtime consistent. I treat your home with respect, your pet with genuine care, and I’m always reliable and communicative to ensure you feel confident in the care your pet is receiving.

“Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!”


“Lydia didn't exceptional job watching our dog, Fiona! She was very helpful when I needed to extend our trip and have her watch Fiona longer. She did a great job with Fiona!! We will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”


“I would highly recommend Samantha for you pet sitting needs. Samantha has come to stay at our home to watch Quincy, our German Shepherd, a couple of times now. She is great with sending pics and updates everyday, thank you for taking the best care of Quincy and our home!”


“Alydia did an amazing job watching our pups. She went above and beyond with everything that was asked of her. Great communication as well! 10/10 recommend”


“This was our first time using Rover. Jenna did not disappoint. She came over weeks prior to meet our two dogs and learn their individual needs. While we were out of town, she sent daily updates and photos of dogs. Upon returning home, I was pleasantly surprised how clean Jenna had kept it. I teased her that I believed our dogs were sad upon our arrival because they certainly were looking for her instead. I could not have asked for a better pet sitter and animal lover to watch over our fur babies. We certainly will use Jenna again. A million thanks again!”


About: I’ve taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.

“Boston Did fantastic with my 2 dogs, she was reliable and easy to communicate with...She sent pics and let me know how my 2 dogs were doing, she was very quick to respond...her prices are very reasonable and I would highly recommend her...Thanks Boston..”


“Natalie was excellent with my dog! I left for a week vacation and she house sat for him. She came over before I left to meet him and immediately had my shy dog excited to play fetch with her. She kept me updated throughout the week and I came home to a healthy/happy dog! Would definitely recommend!”


About: Hello everyone! I’m happy to be of service for you and your animals. I have many years of experience with dogs. I grew up with animals in my childhood home and am very comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I have trained, raised and cared for several dogs myself. Daisy was a golden retriever, Zoe was my golden rough collie mutt, Molly was my 10-lb mutt, Charlie was my very sick mutt, Jess was my hyper husky blue heeler mutt, and now I have Frida. Frida is a sweet girl who loves to work. She is a border collie Australian Shepard mutt who came with me from ND. We are working on learning tricks and trying our hand at herding. Yes when I am with your dog we will work on basic obedience, manners, games, and tricks if you should like. I also have some experience with cats and would love more experience. I fostered a very sick kitten last year and have been around lots of friends’ and families’ cats. If there should be other animals that I have not worked with before, I would be happy to learn how to do so. And I would take my time to ensure I follow your care instructions thoroughly. Looking forward to helping you while you are away! Services in your home - you can rest assured knowing you have an extremely responsible and dependable person in your space. I will be respectful of your things and wishes. I will take extra care to follow your instructions precise Love, Erin and Frida 💕 I am currently working part time, so lots of time to watch your animals and love on them. I would love to be able to watch your pets full time. So I am working on filling up my calendar. Let’s see where this can take me. In my home I have a six foot fenced yard and a border collie policing the yard haha. I have one large wire kennel and one medium sized wire kennel that will house your dog should I need to run a quick errand. When I am in your home, I will be responsible and respectful. I will follow your house rules and keep your babies safe, loved, and cared for.

“Tricia is absolutely wonderful with our pets! We haven't ever seen them take to to strangers as well s they did her. Her laugh while playing with the dogs was truly infectious. We've already booked her again for our next vacation.”


“My first experience with Rover and I made the perfect choice with Sumer! My girl loved her right off the bat! She took great care of both my dog (Bella) and my home. She sent updates and pics and was very responsive. Sumer is clearly a “pet” person and I was thrilled with her service. I will definitely use her when I need a dog sitter in the future.”


“Did very well with our puppy. Took her outside often. Work with her on training. I would definitely recommend her.”


About: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts, I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.


About: I am a fur mom with 2 fur babies of my own. I would love to help provide care for your beloved furry family member while you are away! I am available for drop in visits, in home sitting and dog walking. I have had furry family members my entire life and have had two beagle mix dogs of my own for 11 years. I walk them twice a day and often take them to the park, store or nearest watering hole. My experience with dogs has allowed me to learn dog behavior and how to both lead and be fast friends with your pup. I have experience with giving medications, high anxiety dogs, and can follow any instructions. Peace of mind while I care for your pup is of utmost importance to me. I’m currently working part time at my children's school just 2 mornings per week. I am rarely away from home for more than 3-4 hours at a time. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to have friends visit. Your dogs will be made comfortable and part of the family in my home.

Liz is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter and she is great with our pup Amos. She is conscientious, reliable and has a great way with dogs. Would highly recommend!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our dog than Sumer! She was so kind and patient with him. Great communication too!

Hailey is the best! My dogs immediately warmed up to her — it’s like I never even left. She sent me pictures and updates very often. The best sitter for anxious owners.

Tricia is great! We were concerned about leaving our newly-adopted Australian Cattle Dog, but Tricia made the process easy. She provided updates, appreciated his quirks, and calmed him through storms. We highly recommend Tricia.
