“Edmy and her husband have been taking care of my babies for a few weeks now. She does an amazing job and has done everything we ask to take care of them! Definitely recommend her!”

“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!!”

“Tracy was an excellent choice. He took great care of our kittens, took pictures, and was always available should we have any questions. We would happily work with Tracy in the future and would highly recommend him.”
“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.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Lisa, I’m so thankful she could watch over my pets while I was out of town. She’s such a lifesaver! I’ll be using her again I’m sure!”

I Work part time 1-2 times a week 4 hours only I’m currently looking to dog sit full time im available pretty much all the time.im used to short notice and long term stays with them.

About: I’m the go to sitter in my family. I’ve had dogs in the past but due to age they had to put them down. 😭 Due to my husband’s illness it’s no longer ideal for us to have dogs of our own. I love hanging out with dogs, even the hyper ones like my fur-nephew . I am very familiar with weekend long “drop-in’s” walking schedules, feeding and Disbursing of medicine. I’ve not had to give shots, but would be willing to learn if needed. I work during the weekdays but I am available until 8am, then an hour around 2:30 and after 5pm. Weekends I’m usually home. Will keep calendar updated. I live in the city but have a decent yard for the downtown area and it’s a fenced space! I also live near a park, and the river greenway and enjoy walks.
“I contacted Natalie for a last minute visit and she was able to drop-in and check on our three pups. They were all content and everything was in place. It gives us peace of mind knowing that we don't have to rush back from an outing, our pups are all happy and cared for.”


“Evan is great! I am so glad I found her when we got Sam, our new puppy that needed let out, fed and played with during the day. She's been on time and will take the dogs out in our larger back yard to sniff and play when the weather is nice. Sam and Charlotte have been cared for so well. :-)”

“Samantha is awesome, very communicative and knows just how to spoil Tako cat! I loved all the photos she sent me, and knew Tako was being very well taken care of. I would certainly hire her again.”

About: My pets are family, and I’ll treat yours the same. I’ve shared my home with cats and dogs for years—currently an 8-year-old poodle and a 9-year-old maine coon cat. I’m experienced with giving daily medication, patient with seniors and puppies, and always gentle and kind. I’ve done lots of training with my own dog and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets many times. I’m responsible, flexible, and treat every animal with the same care I’d want for my own. My schedule is currently open and flexible, so I can easily fit pet care into my day and am happy to work around your pet's routine. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just companionship, I approach every visit with patience and care. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved while you're away.
About: I have owned over 6 dogs in my life as well as 3 cats and a few reptiles mixed in. I love animals. I have cared for and boarded for family and friends in the past as well as worked at a shelter in Ohio before I moved to Fort Wayne. I am able to give medications and safely care for puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats. I currently work from home, so my schedule can be as flexible as you need me to be! I am able to board animals at home and also love checking up on animals and giving them attention while you are away if that service better fits your needs. I am very flexible. I have a large fenced in backyard for dogs of all ages to enjoy! I do have a pit mix at home named Kurt, he does well with cats and dogs however I will require a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit before I will board animals in my home. I am able to crate dogs in my home if that is something you would prefer otherwise they will have full access to the house. Your animals care and safety are my number one priority. And as always I will always go over specific circumstances and care with each individual owner

About: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts (August-May), I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends or holidays! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.
