1. Tracy E.
“Nervous about leaving our baby in the care of a stranger, I took comfort in reading other people’s reviews so I hope this helps. As a new transplant to Fort Wayne from Brooklyn New York, things are very different. Our 2 year old poodle isn’t use to the new routine or people yet and Tracy was patient, communicative and caring. I felt comfortable letting him into our home and loved getting the photos of our happy - despite Super nervous- pup with his tail up trotting along. Tracy is a game changer for us in our new schedule and I would trust him with our pooch in our home or in his.”

About: Starting from my late family dog to having my own dog and taking care of my now family's dog, I enjoy fulfilling dogs' needs and making them happy--taking them on long walks, playing with them with their toys, feeding them healthy treats, talking to them and believing they respond, -- anything to see them smile brings me fulfillment. From the past couple of years, I just see myself surrounded by dogs, it seems to work out that way without even trying! I am looking to start up a new part-time job in the area ASAP and know that I will be more than happy to take care of your beloved dogs in between! my Australian shepherd (male) loves other dogs, he is very sweet and humble. But I have an apartment which means I cannot host dogs in my own home
10. Clara B.
“Clara has taken care of my various animals many times and I always know they are in good hands when I am away. Not only is she incredibly responsible, but she has a genuine love for animals and always goes over and above my expectations. It’s like a vacation for me and a vacation for my pets!❤️”
11. Jordan R.
“Jordan did a great job, Idgie looked happy in the photoes i received. She let me know she was going to wait until it stopped storming and raining before their walk. Thank you Jordan.”
12. Chelsea G.
“Chelsea has always gone above and beyond for my pets when she would pet sit. They loved walks with Chelsea and get very excited when I say her name! Chelsea is caring and loving to all animals and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a genuine person to care for their pets!”
13. Evan C.
“First time Rover user here. Evan was great for our 1 year old dog Bingo. She was quick to respond and understood exactly what we needed. She stopped by the day before for a quick meeting and then sent pictures when the walk was over. We will use her services again. Highly recommend.”
14. Nicole W.
“Nicole did a great job caring for my two dogs. We were gone for a week, and when we came back the dogs were happy, healthy, and the house was clean. Our dogs have frequent indoor accidents, but Nicole cleaned them up fantastically. I would absolutely hire her again. She was punctual and attentive and the dogs loved her!”
15. Heather S.
About: I am a mom of 2 college-aged kids. I work from home and have time and love to share. I have owned my own pets since graduating from college. My family has been blessed with multiple dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens. We no longer live on a farm but live in a very animal-friendly subdivision with abundant sidewalks for dog walking. My daughter and I are animal lovers and have fostered 4 puppies and numerous adult dogs waiting for transportation to their furever homes. We also volunteer seasonally with the Humane Society of Cozumel and assist with spay/neuter recovery. We welcome the energy that 4-legged visitors bring to our home. We have an adopted, aging chihuahua mix who is not very active. I would love to talk to you and meet your babies before either of us makes a commitment. Of course, it has to be a good fit. Your confidence and trust in a pet-sitter is crucial. I believe I can be the one to love and care for your baby like you do. I live in the Sw suburbs and have a large fenced backyard that backs up to a wooded area. We have lots of great sidewalks for taking long walks with little traffic. I work from home online Monday through Friday. My schedule is flexible and I enjoy the company that dogs provide. I can provide plenty of outside time and playtime during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard. I also provide walks in my neighborhood or yours. The activity level is dependent on your pets needs. I always feed dogs separately.
16. Kalia S.
“Kalia has a tender heart and really cares for your fur babies. I always knew my dog was well taken care of when I returned home. She would send me pictures of my dog while on walks and I really enjoyed being part of the care she provided. It helped me to know that my dog was being taken care of while I was away. I recommend Kalia. She’s an intent listener and reassures you there is nothing to worry about.”
17. Mar Mar M.
“Mar Mar is a very loving pet caregiver. In her previous home she was the primary caretaker of her dog and on many occasions watched over several of her friends pets too.”
18. Kelly F.
“Kelly took care of my Mini Golden-doodle Bonnie, for a week this past fall and I could not recommend her more! She provided frequent updates and photos, I was worried Bonnie wouldn’t want to come home! Kelly is a true dog lover and one of only a handful of people I would leave Bonnie with. 11/10 would recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”
19. Olivia C.
About: I am very used to being around all types of different dogs. I have a high energy dog myself, and know the amount of time and level care our pets need! I am fully prepared to make any accommodations for you and your pet’s needs! My quality of care and tailoring to your needs are my top priority. I just graduated college and now live here in Fort Wayne full time! I do this full time and am always willing to make time for your pets. I am pretty flexible and can always try to accommodate. I dont have a fenced in yard, but i have my own playful dog, the ability to walk them for as long as they need, and have a leash in our backyard that I use for my own dog to let her out. I love to play and give lots of attentions to dogs and will always provide the highest level of care for them. For me personally, I know that when I need someone to take care of my baby that my main concern is that the person is going to be caring and someone I can trust, so I know exactly how it feels leaving your pup with someone new! I am full prepared to give them whatever it is they need and do it in a caring and loving manner, just as I would want with my own dog.

“Sarah is a phenomenal sitter and Dog mom. My pup absolutely loves her and we are so lucky to have her. She takes him on all the best hikes and she knows all the best places to play fetchies!”
