“Paris is wonderful and a natural with my girl. My senior chihuahua was recently diagnosed with heart disease and had to go on two medicines and Paris was able to give her both. My dog is picky with people and got along so well with Paris. She gave detailed updates and took good pictures. She truly cares for animals.”


“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”


About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats for over 10 years, and animals have always been a part of my life! We currently have a sweet 4-year-old cat who we absolutely adore.

She will be with me on walks and drop in visit! I have a flexible schedule to walk your dog or drop in to check on your dog or cat!

My well-behaved 7-year-old will be with me, and we’re both gentle, respectful, and great with animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and you can expect clear communication and dependable care.

About: At Williamson Animal Care and Control I volunteered walking dogs. I also received significant training in dog behavior and dog walking. After retiring from my career, I started my pet sitting and dog walking career. I took care of a rescued Great Pyrenees multiple times during the week and frequently overnight trips for over two years. I recently moved back to the Fort Wayne area from Franklin, TN. Three of my previous dog clients have shown interest in having me come back to stay with their dogs when they’re out of town for more than a couple days. Pet sitting and dog walking are my primary responsibilities along with taking care of my two cats. I have a very flexible and available schedule. I take pride and making sure that the client’s home is as good if not better when I entered. I will walk the dog, feed or treat, make sure the water bowl is full and also if appropriate snuggles.

As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

About: I have a natural way with animals, especially when it comes to training and understanding their needs. My dog is well-trained, not just in basic commands but also in manners and adventure-readiness, making our hikes and walks smooth and enjoyable. I’ve also mastered the balance of caring for both an energetic dog and two independent cats, ensuring each of them gets the attention and care they need. My ability to read animal behavior and create a structured yet loving environment sets me apart, making me not just a pet owner, but a true companion to my furry family.

I follow their routine closely, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and any medical needs. For exercise, I provide walks, playtime, and mental stimulation with toys or training games. I also respect house rules, whether it’s furniture boundaries or specific care instructions. Most importantly, I give plenty of attention, whether that’s belly rubs, cuddle time, or just being present to ensure they feel at ease while their owner is away.

About: I've worked with dogs, cats, and other animals since middle school. I've done short- and long-term sitting for dogs varying from a weekend with a mixed breed rescue to a month with a purebred Australian shepherd. I owned an elderly Maltese for three years, until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Currently I do have a limit of dogs of maximum 35 pounds. I am prepared and willing to work with training routines. I studied cats extensively in seventh grade in my attempt to persuade my parents into owning one. (It worked.) As either a cat owner or sitter, I've been working with cats ever since. I have a beautiful little black and white princess named Jane, with an affinity for burrowing in blankets and stealing pens, and a wild child named Lizzie who has never met a stranger. I offer dog and cat walks, animal feeding, water changes, litter box changes, playtime, and brushing. I'm open to pets outside the usual; anything except spiders. My availability is very flexible right now. Send me a message to get a request started! Currently I do gig work and have a very open and flexible schedule. Most Sundays I spend out of town, but feel free to message to discuss custom scheduling. Safety and care in a pet's home is reliant first and foremost on learning the family's routines and location of important items. Every family in every home has a system and routines in place; following those is the smoothest way to keep the animals happy and safe. In my home, I care for two young adult cats I own, as well as foster kittens. Right now, I have a group of four kittens to care for until they reach their goal weight for their spay/neuter surgeries. I do practice robust hygiene routines to ensure no potential illness is transmitted between the fosters and my cats.

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.

About: I have plenty of hands-on cat and dog care experience. Last year, I lived with a sweet cat and a high-energy golden retriever, and often cared for them while my roommate was away for clinicals. I handled their daily care, playtime, and attention, so I know how to keep pets happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’m in my final year of pharmacy school and currently have a break before my next clinical rotation. That means I’m free all day during the week and most weekends until October, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet and keep them happy, active, and loved. I don’t currently have a home with a yard suitable for a pet, as I’ll be moving around for school this year. That’s actually why I love helping care for other people’s animals! I focus on giving pets attention, playtime, and companionship, and I’m happy to follow their routines closely, whether it’s feeding or walks. Living with a golden retriever with high separation anxiety taught me a lot about the importance of just being present and sticking to the routine established by the owner.

Rita W.
“I’m writing to highly recommend Rita as a responsible and caring pet sitter. Rita has watched our two cats, Trixie and Carol Channing, on multiple occasions, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Trixie can be quite shy, but Rita has a gentle and patient nature that quickly earned her trust. She always took the time to make Trixie feel comfortable, often staying a bit longer than expected just to ensure both cats were happy and relaxed. Her dedication and genuine love for animals really shone through. Rita was consistently reliable and communicative. She kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the pictures that both Trixie and Carol Channing were calm and content under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She’s been a wonderful presence in our cats’ lives and a huge help to us.”


Tina B.
“Tina was our puppies foster mom and we were lucky enough to keep in touch and keep her in our lives! She has also pet sat for us in the past when we were out of town. Her home is immaculate and puppy friendly. She is so sweet and reliable. I would definitely recommend Tina as a caregiver!”
