“James was gentle and patient with our 15 year old dog. Buddy has a new friend and so do we. We would absolutely use James again, and highly recommend him to help with your furry friends.”

“Anabela was at my house over the holidays and dropped in on my 3 cats twice a day. This was my first experience with Anabela and she was AMAZING!! I have OCD so I am very detailed about everything. She followed my instructions to a tee! She communicated effectively and provided great pictures. My cats loved her and so do I. I highly recommend Anabela for your pets.”


About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as my neighbors’ pets for the past 4 years and I absolutely love it. I have loved all animals and nature my whole life, so I’m always open to taking care of it in any way that I can. I’m available on all Saturdays and Sundays, and I am available anytime after 1:30pm Monday-Friday for any check ins and/or walks. I go to school in the morning but after 1:30 I’m completely available for incremental walks and check ins with your pet(s). I will be able to crate your pet, let it out in the yard, take it on walks with a leash, feed it, all of the above. I will of course be 100% safe and aware while in your home.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8-9 years old. I grew up with dogs of all breeds, and dog sat for neighbors, and family members. I don't just watch dogs; I build trust with them. Take the time to learn each dog's personality, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm currently a stay-at-home dog mom who's working on building a coffee business/doggy daycare. I'm usually free from Monday-Friday, I'm flexible with scheduling! I can adapt to the environment around me, and work with how the pets are and what their routines are usually and allow the pets to feel comfortable with me.
“Tessa is a gem. Loki loved her during the “meet and greet”, as she was playing with him and petting him. She followed our instructions and took excellent care of him. We look forward to the next time she can watch him!”

“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”


About: I've raised cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I currently have a two year old golden retriever named Biscuit, who loves all other animals! I'll take the absolute best care of any of your pets. I teach high school, so I'm currently on summer vacation! I'm available at almost all times of day to take care of your pet, in any way you need. I have a fenced in yard, a little doggie pool, and plenty of toys and treats! Plus, my pup takes daily allergy meds, and I'm very comfortable taking care of any medical or training needs. I want to love and take care of your pet like they're my own!
About: Howdy! My name’s Jordan, and I’m a dependable pet sitter who believes every dog deserves care that matches their personality. I’m comfortable working with dogs who take time to warm up just as much as those who are eager to make a new friend right away. I pay close attention to routines, body language, and comfort levels so pets feel at ease in their own space. While you’re away, I focus on keeping things familiar, calm, and positive so you can enjoy your time knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my time around the pets I’m caring for. I prioritize maintaining routines and being present during house-sitting stays so pets feel comfortable and settled. On weekends, I may step out briefly for personal commitments, but I always plan ahead and make sure pets are cared for and checked in on consistently. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is helping them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging with them through play and interaction. Many dogs benefit from extra activity, so I’m always happy to include playtime when it fits their energy level. This can be a game of fetch, light tug-of-war, or simply spending focused time with them. When playtime winds down, I’m just as happy to relax and offer cuddles to dogs who enjoy affection. No matter a pet’s energy level, I aim to keep their routine familiar and their time with me positive, calm, and stress-free.
“Mckenna did a great job when I needed someone last minute. She updated me on Nala & how she was doing. If the timing needed to be adjusted, she accommodated accordingly. Couldn't recommend Mckenna enough.”

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.
“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: I have had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember. I have a passion for making them feel like they’re loved and just like family. I’m currently working part time as a at-home caregiver and so I have a fairly open schedule and work love to make some money in other ways and what would be better than spending my free time with dogs! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a car to commute to dog parks or a closed in yard. I also have a 6 year old Golden doodle who loves a play date!!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from helping with my grandma’s pup to raising my own three miniature dachshunds. My childhood dog, a white Lab-Husky mix, sparked my lifelong love for animals. With years of hands-on experience, I treat every pet like family. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m always up early to let the dogs run around the back yard. Walks, playtime, and cuddles with my own dogs is so important. So adding another furry friend is easy. I love keeping them happy, comfy, and feeling at home. Our dogs have a huge fenced in yard with toys everywhere. In the summers they love swimming and being outside. I have 3 dogs so walks are always interesting but since they have been getting bigger they are understanding better.
“Amara was amazing! Even got my reclusive cat Soeren to come out for treats. Lily, of course, was her usual extroverted self and came out for lovies. So sad we only got to try her services once, but we will definitely recommend her to friends.”

“Tonie was amazing! Super nice and very flexible! It really made me feel better knowing she could help me get my pup out for some exercise and socializing while I was at work!! I would definitely ask her to help out again!”

About: I believe every pet deserves a sitter who truly understands their unique needs. As a dedicated cat owner of over five years, I specialize in feline care, from reading their subtle body language to creating a comfortable, stress-free environment where they can thrive. My experience extends beyond just cats. I have over three years of professional experience caring for a variety of pets, including small to medium dogs. I've cared for a wide range of personalities, from playful puppies to calm seniors, and am confident in my ability to handle different temperaments and needs. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, secure, and loved in your absence. I'm not just here to feed and walk them—I'm here to give them the same level of care and attention they'd receive from you. My life is built around providing excellent care for pets. As a part-time graduate student, my schedule is quite flexible. My only standing commitment is my class on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 4:30 PM to 7:15 PM. This means I'm available most of the time to give your pet the consistent attention and care they need, from early morning to late evening. I am committed to providing the best possible care for your pet within the comfort of their own home. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a dog walk, or overnight boarding, I will make sure your pet's routine is respected and all their needs are met.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I currently have two dogs of my own—a 2.5-year-old Goldendoodle and a 15-year-old Shih Tzu—so I’m very familiar with both high-energy dogs and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for dogs, and I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you have peace of mind. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for in my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, and attention so pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I always prioritize safety, routine, and communication when caring for pets. I carefully follow any instructions provided and take the time to make sure pets feel comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
