“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!”


“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.”


“Ben is an older dog with a heart problem. I told Linda to use her own opinion to walk or just visit since the weather has been so hot. Since I have 2 dogs she visits Ben so he gets outside and walks Mazy our pup. She makes less money on a visit but she still doesn't wk Ben when its hot. This is a lady that cares about our pets like they are her own. I recommend Linda to any one that needs a caring dog friend”


“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!”


“Brooklyn is awesome. Takes great care of the house and me importantly Edmund, my dog. He now like for her in the guest room! Hahaha. I'd say he's happy with her service as well.”


“Angie has a very kind and gentle way with our dog. She did a great job of looking in on him while we were away. We will certainly use her again.”


“My little Fiona was happy and well taken care of when we had to be gone for the morning thanks to Tiffany’s care and patience. She’s great and we’ll use her again if needed!”


“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!”


“We have used Kristen several times to drop in on and feed our cat, Bu. We would not hesitate to consider her for needs for our young dog, as well - when needed. She is reliable, consistent, flexible, and friendly to connect with. Several times she has been available with only a day or two notice. As an added bonus - she sends the best rover cards + photos of girl for us to enjoy while we are away from her. I look forward to them every time. We hope to use her many times again in the future.”

“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.”


“Bree was fantastic! She took amazing care of Lucy and sent the best updates and photos. Her detailed messages made me feel so comfortable while I was away, and it was clear Lucy warmed up to her quickly. Highly recommend Bree—she’s wonderful!”


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.

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.

“Hannah was wonderful throughout the whole process, and Bella was so happy and calm when we got home. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent the sweetest notes and pictures of Bella each time she stopped by. We recommend Hannah to everyone, and we’re looking forward to having her watch Bella again in the future! Thank you, Hannah!!”


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. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I am a stay at home mom and I homeschool our 7 year old! 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! I have a cat and we are mindful and take precautions so he doesn’t get outside. He was a bit of an escape artist, we were told when we adopted him. I’m a responsible, experienced pet caregiver offering drop-ins and walks with a calm, nurturing approach. 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.

“Natalie did a wonderful job caring for my animals while at work. She was great at sending photos and communication. I knew my pets were in good hands!”


About: Experienced with senior dogs, and I understand patience and gentleness they require. I’m attentive to their routine and health needs. I will treat them like family. I do not work and am available to sit for your dogs or they can come to my home. I will treat them like family. I do not have any other animals and could give my full attention to your dog. I have a peaceful environment at home and welcome the company.

About: I am an avid animal lover and find joy in spending time with animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and farm animals! I am a vegetarian and love forming connections with pets and animals. My very first paycheck earned was after cat sitting for my neighbor at 10 years old. Since then I have worked over night as a house sitter/pet sitter, drop-in pet feeder, and have raised and litter box trained my own three cats since they were just a few weeks/months old. I am capable of walking dogs in all weather, playing with and interacting with animals, and cleaning up after the messes they can make. I utilize open communication with all pet families and owners. One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a very caring nature and have worked full time as a nanny for young children and babies since 2019. Transparent communication and love are my specialities! I am working part time during the week and would be available to provide services before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm. I am typically pretty available on the weekends at any time as well. I am not able to provide pet care in my home for others. I am comfortable caring for your pet at your home and in your neighborhood. I have trusting references for my experience and professionalism.

About: I’m married and half 6 children 3 human and 3 dogs. I enjoy all dogs of every shape, size, and attitude. I love taking my dogs out doors to play. I work in a small Lutheran school running the lunch program. As my children are growing up I have more free time and I would like to find something I enjoy that gets me outdoors. I’ve always had a love for dogs and would love more but 3 is enough for my size of home on a daily basis. We have a big backyard! I do not have a fence our dogs are trained to stay within the property lines. I do have several sizes of collars and leashes for walks around the neighborhood or just in the yard. I also have several crates and dog beds if they are requested.


About: I enjoy long walks on the beach, comedies....and having a dog to cuddle! While I can’t get the beach in Indiana....I can definitely curl up and watch some great movies with your pup around! We will get along great and have a swell time. If your dog likes taking car rides we will go on drives and get some great exercise at a near park! Taking walks and playing in the large back yard I have will be a good source of exercise and play time as well. I would like to open a dog shelter / doggy daycare at some point along my path in life. Very laid back atmosphere and have always had dogs around. Will love on them until you see them again!

She always kept me up to date on my babies when I was away with picture and concerns.

Payton R.
“Payton watched our two cats for us while on vacation for a little over a week. She spent more than the expected amount of time with them and sent us many lovely photos throughout our vacation. Our mechanical litter box had broke while we were gone and she problem-solved on how to clean the litter, even when we told her she didn’t have to. She read our multiple pages of instructions on how to care for the cats without any fuss and seemed to understand how important our cats are to us!”

Northwood Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
My little Fiona was happy and well taken care of when we had to be gone for the morning thanks to Tiffany’s care and patience. She’s great and we’ll use her again if needed!

Wes took care of my boy Diesel weekly for me. He treated my boy with love, respect, and kindness. Thanks again for all the love and care you provided for my boy.

We love Hannah! She is reliable, consistent, and prioritizes availability. She is also an excellent communicator, and our dog, Bella, loves her!! We are SO grateful for Hannah and know Bella will be well taken care of with her!

Elena was fantastic to work with while I was on vacation! She was very timely with communications and kept me updated on how the kitties were doing. She also took great pictures of the cats for her updates!

Amy is great with cats and dogs and incredibly responsible. She sent photos and a summary of the visit every time she stopped in to visit the cats. We will definitely use her again!

Lilli is simply the best! She has watched my fur babies a number of times now. I travel a lot for work and sometimes I don’t get a lot of notice. Her flexible schedule makes my stressful trips away as stress free as possible and knowing my boys are in good hands while I am gone is everything!
