“Tracy took excellent care of my cats! One of my cats has medical issues and has to be given pills and insulin shots. Tracy took care of him like a pro!”
“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.”
“Edmy and her husband Craig stepped in and helped us with short notice. They were attentive, compassionate and thorough. We looked forward to the pictures provided, which became one of the highlights of our days. Knowing that my two fur babies would have quality visits twice per day eased my mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Tonie was amazing! Super nice and very flexible! It really made me feel better knowing she could help me get my pup out for some exercise and socializing while I was at work!! I would definitely ask her to help out again!”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Jennifer as our cat sitter! From our very first meet and greet, we knew we’d found the perfect person. Jennifer is professional, thoughtful, patient and kind. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and it’s clear she takes her role very seriously. Our cat had only been with us for a couple of months, so leaving her behind for a long-planned trip made us a bit nervous. But Jennifer put us completely at ease. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our trip without a single worry. We’re so grateful for her excellent care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. We’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“I love that I get updates and photos from Joscelyn! Makes me feel more secure knowing that my puppy is well taken care of and having fun!”
About: I grew up with always at least six dogs in our care and two cats. I also have had experience rehabbing orphaned puppies and kittens, as well as some wildlife. I used to be a senior foster for hospice care, so I’m used to going above and beyond for comfort and high needs for animals! No request is too much for the good of the animals :) Because I’m a teacher, I’m especially looking for summer availability right now, as I’m typically wide open during this period. During the school year, I have varied availability. I have two friendly dogs and four friendly cats. My backyard is fenced, and my neighborhood is wonderful for walking with many winding sidewalks and beautiful trees.
About: Since I was a child, animals have been a part of my life. In the summer when I was not in school, I would bathe, walk, and feed pets in my neighborhood as a hobby. And now that I am older, I have applied that enthusiasm to my current career. Hello! My name is Grace, and I am an extremely outgoing person who is always eager to meet new people and animals. I have a lovely cat named Jasper and a loving dog named Maze. In addition, I have worked for two years at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, where I care for a variety of species such as birds, lizards, and aquatic animals. There I have the joy of meeting animals all day, so I hope I will be able to see yours too very soon! I am working part-time at my current job so I can spend time with your animals Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all day for walks, pet sitting, overnight sitting, and drop-ins. It's crucial to respect and adhere to my client's privacy, house rules, and especially their pet security requirements no matter what my opinions are. I always think it is a great idea to ask before taking action.
“I am so grateful for Brandi & Luis! I got updates about my cat while I was away. They went above and beyond with him. My cat doesn’t usually come out for guest, but he loved them!”
About: Our family has taken care of friends’ dogs and cats for four years or more. We are now offering our pet services to more ‘07 neighbors. During summers we are available at all waking hours of any days we’re not on a family vacation. During the school year we lose family pet minders during the school day but are available after school and on weekends. We have experience letting ourselves into owners’ homes while they are away to feed, walk, and let pets out for bathroom breaks. We also have a large fenced in yard occupied by our very friendly golden retriever to share with dogs who will treat him well.
“Lydia did a great job watching Fiona! She was flexible and helped me adjust the time that I needed her services and guided me through the steps to extend her services which was very helpful!! She took care of our dog just like it was her own dog and we really appreciate that!!!”
“Brian was fantastic! Very responsive, easy to work with!”
About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.
About: I have been pet sitting and caring for my own pets and family/friends pets for about 8 years now. I can walk, feed, bathe, administer medication, and play with your furry friends of all kinds. I am a school teacher on summer break so my daily/weekly routine is very open to care for your pets. I am free almost every day! If coming to your house to take care of your pets, I will make sure to keep your furry friend feeling as safe and comfortable as possible. Whether through use of a crate, harness, leash, etc, I will make sure they are well cared for.
About: Through and through Hoosier here. I am originally from Decatur, IN but relocated to the beautiful '07 of Fort Wayne! I went to college at IUFW for Medical Imaging and completed my Bachelor's degree. I am pursuing this opportunity to explore and familiarize myself more with the community - as well as all the amazing pups! I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat, so I am well versed in the fur baby community! I currently have a full time job Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I am looking to pick up some pet care work on Tuesdays and the weekends! I have a fenced in back yard as well and a large basement suited for caring for animals in an overnight manner. I do have a cat that lives in the house who will be on the second story.
About: I always grew up around pets and animals. Since I was 13, my family had 6 rescue dogs at once! I was responsible for feeding, walking, training, and playing with our pups when I was home, and it brought me a lot of joy. My roommates, family, friends, and neighbors have also entrusted me with their furry friends, and it has always been a great pleasure to care for them. I have immense love for all animals and would love to give your dog an adventurous walk they'll never forget! I am a recent MSU graduate, with nothing but an open schedule. I thought the best way to fill it was to get some exercise with a K9 pal! I strive to be an outstanding guest in your home, while also being a responsible, mindful, and engaging pet sitter! I am excellent at instruction if you have any intricate, specific requests. I am not yet taking pets into my home, but I am definitely open to it once I've had repeated visits with a pet.
