“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!!”

“I contacted Natalie for a last minute visit and she was able to drop-in and check on our three pups. They were all content and everything was in place. It gives us peace of mind knowing that we don't have to rush back from an outing, our pups are all happy and cared for.”

About: As a dedicated pet owner myself, I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind. That’s why my approach is simple: I care for your dogs and cats exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. Whether it’s keeping the litter box pristine, making sure the water bowl is fresh, or just hanging out, I treat your pets like royalty and respect their unique boundaries and routines.✨🫶🏻 I’m a big believer in great communication, so you’ll never have to wonder how things are going. You can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures📸 with every single visit. Whether your pet is a high-energy social butterfly who needs active playtime or a shy hidden gem who just wants some quiet company, my goal is to keep them happy and give you total peace of mind while you're away.🩵🤎 My life is built around providing excellent care for pets. While I work Wednesday through Friday, every other Saturday, and have graduate class on Wednesday and Thursday nights (from 4:30 PM to 7:50 PM), my schedule remains adaptable. Outside of those specific commitments, I am available to give your pet the consistent attention and care they need, with plenty of openings for early morning, evening, and Sunday through Tuesday visits. I am committed to providing the best possible care for your pet within the comfort of their own home. Whether it's a drop-in visit or a dog walk, I will make sure your pet's routine is respected and all their needs are met.

“Tracy is so awesome, in fact I think Banner likes Tracy more than he likes me now. The updates I get while I'm at work are so reassuring and just make my day. I highly recommend and appreciate Tracy.”

“Hailey did finally coax my shy house cat to get some attention! Great communication and pics!”

“Paris took such amazing care of our kitties! Being the first time leaving our cats at home, we were a nervous wreck traveling all the way up to Michigan! Paris took such good care of them and always kept us informed every step of the way, easing our worries! Her flexibility, patience, understanding- we are so, so grateful!! We wouldn't trust anyone else (also a bonus that she's amazing with ALL pets and our extremely picky cats absolutely adored her!)”

“I loved that Heather came to meet Farah and I. I could tell right away she was caring and very patient. Our cat sitter couldn't come to check in on Farah while we were on vacation due to unexpected health decline. Heather was willing to with very little notice. We were gone for 13 days and had Heather do a drop in for 11 days. Farah requires eye cleaning just about every day and is super picky about how clean her litter box is. She also hates getting her eyes cleaned and Heather did such a great job with her eye care. She made sure she had clean water each day too. Heather did the best job!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl!!”

“First time using the Rover service and our first time away from our pet for such a long duration. Franki was an excellent communicator, went above and beyond spending her time with our dog in his own home so he would be comfortable, and we're so thankful for her! Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”

Michael F.

“Amara was amazing! Even got my reclusive cat Soeren to come out for treats. Lily, of course, was her usual extroverted self and came out for lovies. So sad we only got to try her services once, but we will definitely recommend her to friends.”

Stephanie C.

“I couldn't be happier with how they looked after my boys! I have a cat and a German Shepherd, and they are VERY different personality wise. They seemed to immediately pick up on that, and treated them accordingly! I'll definitely ask them to watch my boys again!”

“Anabela was at my house over the holidays and dropped in on my 3 cats twice a day. This was my first experience with Anabela and she was AMAZING!! I have OCD so I am very detailed about everything. She followed my instructions to a tee! She communicated effectively and provided great pictures. My cats loved her and so do I. I highly recommend Anabela for your pets.”

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 while you’re away! I am very flexible during the summer, school holiday breaks & weekends, but I also continue Rover services during the school week as well. 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 (August-May), 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 or holidays! 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.

“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!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child and can’t imagine my life without pets. I’ve got friends and neighbors who rely on me to visit, feed, play and stay for overnights or vacations with their pets. Would love to help others with their pet needs! I’m currently open for clients and their needs whenever needed. I have an open schedule and am ready to work with anyone on helping with their pets. Whether drop in visits or staying over at friends/neighbors houses I follow any guidelines given by the pet owners. I’m very trustworthy and do what I can to ensure the pets stay safe under my care.

“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”

“Evan is amazing and has been so caring and nurturing to our elderly pugs! She is great at giving us updates about how our pugs are doing and very reliable. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies ? ?!!!!”

Meghan B.

“Bree was fantastic! She took amazing care of Lucy and sent the best updates and photos. Her detailed messages made me feel so comfortable while I was away, and it was clear Lucy warmed up to her quickly. Highly recommend Bree—she’s wonderful!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. Growing up we had multiple animals in our household and also pet sit as needed. I’ve taken care of friends pets whether they just need fed, let out, or just need company for a bit. I am currently available any time during the week. I can walk or even play with any dogs for them to get some energy out during the day I currently have 2 dogs and have a fenced in yard. I take my pups on walks and play with them all the time, whether it be fetch or hide and seek. They get plenty of love and treats and are the most spoiled

About: I'm extremely patient with any dog. I always make sure they fell comfortable around me before I do anything! I am a strong walker! I also know how to make the most out of any time spent with a dog! Pet care is my number one priority for an animal I take care of! I will always make sure that the animal is the top priority when we go anywhere. I always put the dogs safety before my own. I will watch for other dogs and loose animals when we go on walks. When sitting in the past I let the parent know of the times I let the dog out or do anything with the animal. I will send many cute pictures for updates of what is going on!
