“Tracy is the best of the best! Made my vacation stress-free knowing my dog was going to be so cared for while I was gone. Can’t recommend Tracy enough, he is a super hero!”


“Brooklyn is awesome. Takes great care of the house and me importantly Edmund, my dog. He now like for her in the guest room! Hahaha. I'd say he's happy with her service as well.”


“Lisa was great with our girls! Lucy required alot of special feeding and medication care which Lisa did well. Lucy is also very skittish with new people and, by day 2 she LOVED Lisa!! Would definitely request her services again and highly recommend!!”


“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. I felt she listened to what I had to say to make me feel better even though this chick knows her stuff!!! Our dogs loved her and I think disappointed when they saw it was us coming home and not her!!”



“Evan is great! I am so glad I found her when we got Sam, our new puppy that needed let out, fed and played with during the day. She's been on time and will take the dogs out in our larger back yard to sniff and play when the weather is nice. Sam and Charlotte have been cared for so well. :-)”


“She was very helpful! My doggies made a mess and she was willing to help clean out! She was very good with communicating and updating me; sending me pictures of my fur babies.”


“Our cat Mac is well cared for whenever Samantha watches him. Samantha is on time, a clear communicator, keeps our home just as we left it. We love getting lots of updates and pictures when we are away. Thanks again!”

About: My pets are family, and I’ll treat yours the same. I’ve shared my home with cats and dogs for years—currently an 8-year-old poodle and a 9-year-old maine coon cat. I’m experienced with giving daily medication, patient with seniors and puppies, and always gentle and kind. I’ve done lots of training with my own dog and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets many times. I’m responsible, flexible, and treat every animal with the same care I’d want for my own. My schedule is currently open and flexible, so I can easily fit pet care into my day and am happy to work around your pet's routine. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just companionship, I approach every visit with patience and care. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved while you're away.

“McKenna was awesome. We are to town just 2 weeks ago. It was so nice to find someone so loving for our 2 dogs and cat so we could join family at the lake today! Definitely will want McKenna for next time. Thank you!!”


About: I work full time as a nurse and I want to use my 11+ years of dog owner experience to make your pets feel as at home as possible and give peace of mind to owners that need to be away. I don’t mind doing anything extra your pets need to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m confident in handling large dogs. We have no dogs in our home and no children. I’m always available all day Friday-Sunday for services. I work full time Monday through Thursday. I’ll be available after 6pm weekdays and any time Friday-Sunday. I’m ok with late night drop ins as well. I currently live with my fiancé with no pets or kids. We have a lead in our back yard that is lined with trees and shrubbery to the back and isolated from the culdesac/neighbirhood.

“Heather did drop in visits with my pups, she spent time playing ball and making sure they had ample outside time. I would highly recommend Heather for your next sitter.”


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’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.
