House Sitting in Northwood Park, Fort Wayne

“Laura and Sheena did house sitting with my Husky-poodle mix over a 2-week period as my family and I had traveled for the holidays. We came back to the house in 1 piece and my pup was happy and energetic as always. There was no personality change in him which is very important on my satisfaction list. I got updates and pics of my pup every night, as requested, which helped me cope without him. To top things off, I was surprised with a card from Laura and Sheena when we returned home. If that wasn't sweet enough, I also got prints of some of the pics they took of my pup. These gestures were extremely thoughtful and made us smile. As if you couldn't already tell, I highly recommend them and plan to utilize their services again and again!”

“Sumer is the best house/pet sitter on rover and in Fort Wayne! We are glad we booked with her so our cat could stay at home with no added stress of traveling. She made that successful! Thank you Summer!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Tracy was excellent and very professional! Our dogs we’re crazy about him at the meet and greet. He also took care of our cats. We arrived back from vacation with happy well cared for pets and a home in perfect order. Thank you Tracy! Rachel K.”

“Julia was awesome!! Very kind and punctual with watching our fur babies! Communication was great. Thanks Julia for taking care of our fur babies!”

“Mason was fantastic! He was tentative to all my Danes needs. He played, walked and fed according to our schedule. Mason has a great personality and my dogs LOVED him. Five stars are not enough!”

“Alyssa did great! We booked her for our wedding weekend where we didn’t know exactly what we would need help with. She was able to adjust as needed and work with us with patience and the pups loved her! She also left no trace of her visit. She is so personable and highly recommend!”

About: I originally started my pet care experience as a pet sitter for my neighbors during high school. My family had never owned a dog, but after I proved to my mom that I was responsible enough to care for someone else's pet, we got a dog of our own. Since then, I have cared for four dogs of my own at two separate households. They range in size from 10lbs-115lbs and I am therefore comfortable with dogs of any size. One of my pets has severe allergies so I am very familiar with food restrictions and the administration of medications for pets. I look forward to treating your pet as my own and developing a bond that makes them feel comfortable when you are unable to be there. I currently work as a teacher. I am gone weekday 6:30-3:30, but have full day availability during Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and summer break. Weekend availability is wide-open throughout the year. I have a fenced in-yard and love to take my dogs on walks. We focus on both mental and physical stimulation in our home to ensure dogs are thoroughly exercised.

“Great sitter always ready to look after my five dogs at the drop of a hat. I recommended he use this service because he said he really enjoys it.”

About: Hello! First, I love all animals! I’ve dog sat for a few families while they are on vacation. I made sure all were loved, fed, and walked! I work from 9-3pm and I’m a full time online grad student. If I am not at a local restaurant, working on homework, I’m hanging with pets Although I work 9-3 I’ll be available to leave if needed at the home. I can ensure all rules and guidelines are followed set fourth of the owners! I’ll be in constant communication.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of dogs, and currently have 2 wonderful pups. I have a lot of experience with active dogs as well as relaxed dogs. I currently work Tuesday-Friday, but am home full time on the weekends and love to spend time with our little furry friends. We have a very good routine of potty breaks during the day and play time, and would like to spread the love. I have a decent sized fenced in yard and 2 pups to keep yours entertained. I will treat your loved ones like my own. Our dogs are crate trained when we aren’t there and when we sleep, and can do whatever you’d prefer for your pups.

“Jordan is great with pets taking time out of his day to play with them & has patience when learning how to interact with them, especially with our family dog Fredward.”

About: I have always had animals in my life all shapes, and sizes all species and breeds. I have had dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, fish, gerbils, racoons I have helped take care of horses, and cows and chickens. I have watched and cared for so many animals in my life and I love every min of it. I am currently a kennel supervisor, doggy daycare attendant, and a petcare specialist at a pet boarding facility in fort wayne. I truly love my job and all our clients that i deal with everyday. I couldn't be happier than I am right now working with animals. I am also a wildlife rehabilitator I have always dreamt of doing what I'm doing right now. Taking care of animals isn't what I do it's who I am. I work with and around animals everyday either here at home with my 5 dogs, 3 cats, 3 coons, and 2 squirrels or at Work. If at your home I will care for them the only way I know how to like they were my own. I will strive to make them the happiest furbabies while your away. I can't wait to be able to spoil your furbaby till you return home.

“I have watched Hope care dearly for her Scottish terrier & also for her 3 childrens many house pets. The kindness she treats animals with is exemplary. I can recall one time a squirrel on her front lawn became injured from jumping too high. Hope not only took the squirrel under her care, but managed to help this animal fully recover & continued to purchase it a lovely tree home! Hope shows this same kindness and generosity to others pets as well which is why I have no doubt in my mind that she would make the best sitter, dog walker, and animal lover for all and any of your pets needs. I highly recommend having Hope care for your animals, they will return to your arms more loved and cared for than when you left them in her loving arms.”

“Isabel is an incredibly caring and kind animal caretaker. She takes the time to understand an animals needs and personalities to provide the best care for them and give them the love they need and more. If you want someone who will truly care about your pet you will choose Isabel.”

“Javonte is a very responsible person and he loves animals. He has three animals of his own two dogs and one cat. They are very well taken care of. He has taken care of my animals before I have two cats, a dog, and a horse. Everything is always perfect and I never have problems. He would be a perfect fit for all animals when they need taken care of.”

“Justin has been an animal lover from a very small child. Animals have always gravitated to him, even ones who have never met him before. He is extremely caring and gentle and very loving to dogs & cats. He has a lot of experience dealing with many breeds as he worked AKC dog shows growing up.
