“Edmy and her husband Craig stepped in and helped us with short notice. They were attentive, compassionate and thorough. We looked forward to the pictures provided, which became one of the highlights of our days. Knowing that my two fur babies would have quality visits twice per day eased my mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Charity was incredible!! Very professional and caring. I have a very rambunctious 10 month old Newfoundland that she handled with patience and care. She regularly sent pictures and updates to me. I would recommend her 1000%. She put my mind at ease while I was away on vacation!!”
“I had Linda as a regular checking in on mila (my dog). She was always so gentle with her and promptly updated river card with details. She communicates really well and I always felt safe having Linda drop in to take Mila out. I highly recommend her to anyone”
“I’ve booked Karisa several times to watch my cat and have always been super happy with her visits! I get the best pictures and I know my cat is less lonely when I get home!”
“Jennifer is always 10/10, but this time was especially nightmarish for her 😞. Between accidents from our senior pup and shuffling the dogs around a contractor during the day - she went so far beyond the call of duty, we don’t even know how to thank her. Thanks so much, Jennifer. I’m sorry for the high maintenance week.”
“I can not say enough good things about Angie and how much she has aided in mine and my dogs life! Very willing to work with my crazy schedule and seeing my pup multiple times a day multiple days a week. She has cleaned up my dogs vomit and diarrhea, she fought off a Rottweiler to protect my dog which was so above and beyond her call of duty lol. Although I only saw Angie face to face a few times, she had such a positive impact on my life and brought me so much joy with all of the wonderful pictures she sent me of my goofy girl while I was at work. Her and her pup Wrigley hold a special place in our heart ?”

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: 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: I have been around dogs my whole life and taken care of dogs since I was about 10. Dogs are my life. They run my household and my only one rule with them is to love on them. I work from home so your pet will never be alone. I spent the last few years taking care of my senior dog who was almost 15 when she crossed the bridge. I still take care of another senior dog for my family. I work from home so your pet will always have someone. I will work around your schedule for feeding and medicine. I do ask that you bring their beds and toys so that they feel more comfortable. Fenced in yard with no children/ pets. I do not crate the dogs. I am still grieving my soul dog so this is my way of being around dogs and loving on them while my heart heals.

Rita W.
“Rita is the best! Rita lived in the same apartment complex, as soon as I met her I knew she was an animal lover and advocate. She always kept me up to date on my babies when I was away with picture and concerns.
