“Tracy is awesome. He was so kind to my puppy, prompt, attentive, and just gave excellent customer service overall. I don’t really want to tell everyone how great he is because I hope he always has availablility for my Banner, but I think it’s important to let folks know he will take excellent care of your fur babies.”


“Christina was amazing!! Our little Charlie has had a tough few months since he lost his sister. It’s been quite an adjustment for him and when we would leave him, he would be so sad all the time. Christina did a drop in with him, and when we came home, he was a happy boy. She communicated very well with us, and when he met her for the first time he fell in love. I totally recommend her!!”


“Wes is fantastic. My dog Sam really enjoys his visits and spending time with the other dogs Wes cares for. It's been a really good experience with Wes! Thank you.”

“Jen was everything you want in a sitter. Dependable, communicative and very kind. We have a senior cat who needs injections and she did a great job with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jen. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“This is the second time I’ve booked with Lisa, I’m so thankful she could watch over my pets while I was out of town. She’s such a lifesaver! I’ll be using her again I’m sure!”



“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. :-)”


About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I am an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with 15 years of experience caring for a wide range of animals. From energetic puppies to senior cats and everything in between, I am passionate about providing loving, attentive care that keeps your pets happy and safe. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a warm environment where they feel secure. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply companionship while you’re away, I tailor my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I’d love to connect to learn more about your furry (or feathered!) family members. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can help care for your pets. i am currently working part time so i am available several times throughout the week and on weekends depending on the needs of your schedule. I create a safe and trusted environment by combining 15 years of experience with a caring, attentive approach. I always follow safety protocols, whether supervising playtime, administering medication, or providing transportation to appointments. I take time to build trust so pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. By keeping open communication with pet owners and staying consistent and dependable, I aim to provide care you can rely on with complete peace of mind

“We really appreciate everything that Elioenia does for our pup when we’re gone! Will continue to use her services and recommended her to whoever asks!”


About: I have owned dogs and cats for my entire life, so I know the day-to-day treatment that they need. I have also done sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. Professionally, I did animal care for various species of reptiles, amphibians, and fish, so I understand that every animal has different requirements and routines! I’m a natural caregiver and would love to make your pet feel loved and safe. I’m a recent college graduate living at home until I start my master’s program in August! I would love to fill all of this free time by spending it with animals. I am willing to care for pets as needs by each individual! I can pop in for 10 minutes a day or I can stay for a couple hours to give your pet the attention that he/she needs. I will do the basics (feeding, taking outside for bathroom, playing), but I can also administer medication and go for walks!

“Emma was awesome! Very detailed, kind, and proactive. My dog loved her and I felt great being on vacation knowing that Emma was taking care of him.”


“Amara was wonderful with my dog for a drop in! We have a very excitable 80lb dog and she was so great with her! She was communicative, professional, and I loved all the updates and photos of my pup from her visit! We will absolutely be using Amara again 🐾”


“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!!”


“Samantha was an amazing sitter! She got on great with Star and took care of her exactly as agreed. She sent lots of pictures and made me feel extremely comfortable with her watching my cat! There was good communication and if she had any questions, she didn't hesitate to ask for clarification. I would absolutely book her services again!”


“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.”


“We needed help at the last minute and Jenna came through brilliantly! The dogs love her and everything was perfect on our return.”


“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.”


“Mckenna did a great job when I needed someone last minute. She updated me on Nala & how she was doing. If the timing needed to be adjusted, she accommodated accordingly. Couldn't recommend Mckenna enough.”


“Our first visit with Sumer was great! She checked in on our two dogs while we were away for the day and sent us pictures! We will definitely be using her again.”


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.

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.

“Hannah has been taking care of my cats for 2 years now. I always feel comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are taken care of and if there is ever an issue at home or with my cats she makes sure to bring it to my attention. The litter boxes are always clean and everything I ask of her is always completed. I would highly recommend.”

Ellie C.Star Sitter
“I cannot say enough about Ellie! She is the biggest animal lover I've ever met. Even though I only use her for my dog, Ollie, I have seen her work with snakes, turtles, frogs, and even a stingray. Her speciality is rehabilitation of animals, so she has a ton of knowledge and experience. When she takes care of Ollie, she walks him, grooms him, and sleeps with him. He stepped on something once and she removed it from his foot right away. She also researches healthy foods and additional care for animals. You will absolutely love this girl and so will your pet!”

Inverness Lakes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma was awesome! Very detailed, kind, and proactive. My dog loved her and I felt great being on vacation knowing that Emma was taking care of him.

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.

Ryan watched Sadie while we went on a marine excursion. He was excellent at communicating and Sadie was a happy pup when we got home.

Hailey made me so comfortable leaving my cat for the first time. She shared her knowledge with cats, was eager to meet my cat during her initial visit, and was happy to send picture and updates while I was away. Would definitely use her again to take care of my cat.

We needed help at the last minute and Jenna came through brilliantly! The dogs love her and everything was perfect on our return.

Liz has been fantastic with Levi, working with him since he was a tiny pup too afraid to walk down the stairs 🥺
