“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 !”

“Ozzie had the best care at Stephanie’s. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home with me! She treated him just like her own and I feel very lucky to have had found her. I will definitely try to rebook next time we travel.”

“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.”

“Our dog Whiskey stayed while we did a quick weekend trip to Indy. She was great with slow intros and keeping us updated on how he was doing. He came back to us today tired after playing with all his new friends.”

“Lara and her gang are incredible! She had no issues with accomodating my short notice and my big pack of dogs. I'm pretty certain my dogs would have happily moved in. So. thank you Lara et al for making that 24 hours worry free. I can't wait to finally get to go home to Texas this summer!”
“I was new to Fort Wayne and had a baby back in Ohio. Emily and her family so flexible and available during that time. I don’t know what we would have done without her. We ended up extending a couple times and our dogs came home so happy. Knowing they were so well taken care of during a crazy time meant a lot. I would absolutely book again”

“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”

“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”

“Agnatha is so wonderful. This was our first time leaving our dog alone over night, and I think we were way more nervous about it than he was. Agnatha kept us updated with messages and photos and seems like the stay could not have gone better. We will definitely book with her again!”

“They were awesome with Finn. He only stayed for a short visit because of a change of plans but I still got plenty of great photos of him playing in the yard and being a good boy which was great”

“Or dogs were totally spoiled during their stay with Mindy and Carter! I think they will look forward to returning everytime! We were so relieved to know they were safe with true dog lovers! They were very happy and playful when we picked them up!”

About: I hope what the pets owners like is that I am verry responsible and enjoy the company of pets. I have a dogs and a cat which I treat them like family. I will also make sure that they dont feel homesick provinding them with a safe space. Last but not less important I will play with the dogs so they dont get bored or lonely. I enjoy all types of dogs but mostly a puppy or little dogs but can take care of bug dogs. I hope that you will feel okey with letting a family member eith me. I'm currently working part-time. I would have time to take care of the pups and give them lots of love. I'm also available during weekends. I think communication is key. I time to have schedule for them including feeding times and walk time. I also need list of allergies in case I make puppy treats.
“Absolutely thrilled with our first experience with the Rover app, staying with Kristen! Our puppy Lemon can’t wait to stay again. Daily pics of him having a blast and running with other pups made the time away easier. We’ve already recommended to our friends :)”

“Alex and Jayce were wonderful with our dog. So welcoming and very responsive. Our dog had a great time playing with their dogs. They sent great pictures and we could tell our dog was comfortable at their house. Would recommend to friends and family and will use them again!”

“Anne is amazing! She made our fearful dog feel comfortable and happy. We were able to relax knowing she was in great hands! Couldn’t recommend Anne more”

“Heather took excellent care of my Millie while we were away. It was short notice and she jumped on it despite her holiday plans. I am so grateful and will be using her again when we have to go out of town!”

“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”

“Megan was great with my 17 year old puppy! It was like a home away from home for him. It is clear she loves dogs!! We have already booked her again for another trip!!”

Lake Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
We absolutely love our dog Azure! I couldn’t be happier with our experiences. My dog loves being with her and is always eager to go back, which tells me he feels safe and happy in her care. She’s very attentive, treats him like her own, and always makes sure he’s well taken care of. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. If peace of mind in knowing your furbaby is safe and treated well while you’re away book Azure!

Kimeryn was so wonderful with my Pyrenees, Willow. She provided updates daily to let us know how Willow was doing. She made Willow feel like a part of her family immediately. Willow got a bath while she was there and she looks incredible! I would book her again in the future!
