“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!”
“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.”
“Edmy and Craig take very good care of Sparkle. They provide good communication with us while we are gone which is important with a geriatric cat.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every way. We arranged for her to drop in throughout the day to care for our two dogs during our 10-day vacation, and when one of our dogs suffered several days of diarrhea (likely due to stress from our absence), she handled the situation with grace and ease; she cooked rice, stopped at the vet, and cleaned up a great deal of poop. She spoiled our dogs in the all the best ways, and we were able to relax on vacation knowing that they were in the most capable hands. Five stars are not enough!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”
“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: Hi! My name is Jill and I am a HUGE dog girl, but have love for all things furry especially shy cats! I currently have 2 beautiful huskies, Kendra and Balto! I know the worry and fear that comes with having animals and making sure they get proper care and attention, worry no further! I’d love to give you a sense of relief and care for your babies whether that’s walking or a house visit. I can promise they will get lots of pets and lots of baby talk! I work a full time job, but I am able to visit before work, on my hour lunch, or when I am off work for the day. I also work a half day on Thursdays! I think the biggest thing in creating a good environment for pet care is always remembering that the pet is apart of the family in a very real way for the owner. I really do take pet sitting with the same seriousness and concern as babysitting.
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.
“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.”
“Sadie was so helpful over the weekend dropping in on my dog to feed him and let him out while I was a work! She made everything so easy!”
“Julia was awesome! My dogs loved her. She's in vet tech school so she knows her stuff and I felt good knowing I could 100% trust her with my pets. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
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.
“Barbara was doing recurrent drop in visits for both of my dogs 2x a week for a few months and she went above and beyond to ensure that both of my dogs were cared for. Not only did she fulfill their basic needs, but she also went the extra mile to engage in some playtime. Barbara was communicative and punctual! I highly recommend her services!”
“They were fantastic! It was our first experience with Rover, and they made it better than we ever expected. Exceptional communication and even helped celebrate our kitty’s birthday with him while we were gone. Got extra pictures too! We will definitely ask them to sit again in the future!”
“First time using this app, and Olivia went out of her way to make my pet feel at home, even when he was stubborn. She kept in touch with me quickly when I had a question.”
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.
“My 2 cats were nervous and hid under the bed when she came to visit. She worked with them and spent time earning their trust. She sent pictures each day. and her communication relieved much stress from leaving my cats for a week.”
