About: I grew up on a farm, we had dogs, cats, horses etc. I’ve also house sit for multiple people when I was a teenager to care for there horses and dogs. I’m currently working full time 7-330, I work fully remote, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I would be able to let them out whenever if they are staying in my home. I can easily crate your dog, I don’t have a fenced yard at my home, I have a long cable where my dog goes potty. I do know the importance of exercise for dogs who have this lifestyle, I walk my dog at-least once a day.
“Heather is very reliable. I’ve used her several times and am happy with her care! She’s very responsive and timely to my inquiries. Would definitely recommend.”
“Taylor was fantastic when taking care of Whiskey! She sent daily updates of him which helped put me at ease. She and her husband came to meet him before which made me feel great before leaving. I would definitely book with her again!”

“I can’t even begin to say enough great things about how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Natalie is!! From start to finish she made not only our boy Oso feel comfortable, but us as well. She communicated with pictures daily of our boy and how great of a time they were all having together!! If your in the Fort Wayne or surrounding areas and, like us, are on the fence about boarding rest assured you’ve found on of THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS RIGHT HERE!! Thank you so so much for the care and everything you did to make our first time boarding our pet the best experience possible !”

“Azure kept me informed by sending me pictures of my Jade and letting me know what she was up to and how she was doing. Jade appeared to be happy and looked right at home which made me know that she was in very good hands and I had absolutely no worries. Thank you Azure, Jade and I are looking forward to more stays. ?”

“We had brisket there for a long weekend and it was so great. It was the first time we left him with anyone and so my anxiety about it was high (especially since we were many states away). But Greg was awesome! He has a camera set up for us to be able to see brisket at bed/nap time. He would text us with updates and pictures. It was the best experience I could ask for. brisket loved his new friends (Greg’s dogs and cat) and I think he’ll be worn out for a few days. He has definitely created a repeat customer from us!”

“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”

“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”

“Anne was pleasant to work with! Her kindness, flexibility, and meeting with us beforehand helped us feel better about leaving our girl for the first time. You can tell that Anne loves what she does! We received many pictures, updates, and some videos while we were away. Molly seemed to settle in just fine once she got comfortable. Will book again!”

“We had a last minute cancelation and Jocelyn was very accommodating. Our dogs got along fine with her two pups. I would recommend her and will use her again.”

“We were in Indiana for a wedding and wanted our little pup close rather than leaving him states away. Sara took great care of our little Marley. He was so tired when we picked him up from all the playing and running around. She let us know how he was doing often and sent us photos. We would definitely use her again if we lived in the area!”

About: I’ve had the joy of volunteering with the Humane Society in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio for many years, as well as pet-sitting for many neighbors and friends! I’m new to Fort Wayne and looking forward to meeting the pets of my new community! I work a flexible schedule as a music therapist. Depending on the day of the week, I work from home part time, leaving lots of time to spend with your pets! I have a large, first-floor, single entrance/exit walkout apartment with direct access to large open green spaces, and live nearby several dog parks. Getting outside with your pets is a priority of mine!
“Stephanie was wonderful! So sweet and kind and loving to our pup Whitney! She had a great time, you can tell she was very well taken care of and loved! We got pictures and updates every day which was awesome too! We will definitely be using Stephanie again for our pet sitting needs!!”

“Loni did a good job providing picture updates, taking my dog on walks, and was very flexible with drop off/pick up times during my busy weekend. Always felt my dog was in good hands during his weekend with Loni!”

“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
“Quimyia is great. She was available on short notice. Her dog is super friendly. While I was gone she took multiple pics and videos while providing updates. My puppy came home happy and clean!”

Amy is an amazing sitter. I never worried a minute about how my senior doggo was doing during an extrended trip. She sent daily updates and I could see he was so comfy and well cared for. Won't hesitate to ask Amy to be his sitter again and again. He loves going to her house and getting lots of love and attention.
