“Awesome!! Rocky ( German Shepard fur baby) gets so excited to see him every single time! I apologize Tracy for Rocky jumping on you every time he sees you to say hello lol he’s a big boy! I highly recommend Tracey!!”


“Awesome job, reliable, great guy.”


“We liked Christina immediately at the "Meet & Greet" and our dogs also liked her during the pet visits and walks. She was great at sending us pictures and communicating with us about our pets. She was very punctual for the visit times and was able to get our dogs to do most of their business outside - which is no easy feat! We highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable dog-sitter/walker and look forward to using her services again.”


“Edmy even gave my beloved furry family member a Christmas gift! Edmy and Craig check on my doggo about three times a week and I wouldn’t want to have anyone else check on her 🫶🏽”


About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.

“My baby LOVES you and I appreciate how flexible you are!”


About: As a person who used to live with older dogs, I became accustom to giving them medications or helping them with their treatments. I also love puppies (who doesn’t?) and am willing to spend time attempting to train them. Besides dogs, I am a proud indoor bunny mom. I find it highly important to understand a rabbit’s needs, behaviors and risks. I am home for the summer in Fort Wayne, Indiana and would love to check in on your pets to pass the time! My summer job allows me to pick up extra gigs like dog sitting. I have two large dogs. I feed, walk, and play with them daily. I also have two indoor bunnies. I interact with them as much as I can since they are very social creatures.

“He’s been very communicative and awesome with my dog Vera! He takes her for walks and to the dog park which is great for her. We like him a ton!”


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.

“Stephanie is fun and engaging with Ruthie!”


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.

About: Animals are a big part of my life! I have 2 dogs, a cat, a bunny, 2 bearded dragons, a corn snake, 2 hermit crabs, 8 praying mantises, 2 tarantulas, 2 jumping spiders, and 3 madagascar hissing roaches. 😁 I have had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have been a dog groomer and continue to look for ways to continue to work with animals. I groom my own dog still, and have groomed some friends' dogs as well. I take animal care seriously and will do so with your furbabies. I will treat them the way I would want others to treat MY furbabies. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with your babies.. I am willing and able to care for other pets if you have something other than dogs or cats. Your pets are my #1 priority when you trust me with their care. I work from home on my own schedule so I have plenty of time for your fur babies. I am happy to spend time with them. I will never let your babies out of my sight and if going for walks, they will ALWAYS be on a leash for safety purposes.

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: 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.

“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”


About: My husband and I are no longer working, we raised two kids with always at least two dogs and will spoil your loved one. 🐶 I’m a retired nurse with plenty of free time to provide care for your dog. I can adjust my availability to accommodate your schedule. Happy to help you honor your commitments while providing peace of mind that your animal is being taken care of. Since my husband and I are no longer working and you might have more than one dog and prefer they stay at home in their own environment we can spend the time there taking care of them or visit them during the day multiple times taking them for at least two walks a day and tuck them safely in their quarters at night. You’ve got two dog lovers here who are very adaptable. 🐶 I have plenty of space in my home to host your dog. My Cavapoo will keep your dog company during a stay. Also, there is a nice park a few blocks away from my house.

We have a menagerie of pets and she’s been taking care of them for the last 10 years.
