“Bethany was an absolutely wonderful dog/house sitter. Upon meeting her, any anxiety I had about leaving my dogs was gone. She kept me updated about my fur babies and the house looked just as I had left it when I returned. I know my dogs were loved and well cared for. 🩷”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 11 years, I own 3 golden doodles. I can bath, walk, feed and play with any dogs. I’m currently a senior in high school, so I am free all the time after school and free on weekends! I can drive which makes it very easy for me to go watch your puppies! I can easily come to your house to watch your dogs any time you need because I have my license and a car. I will follow any instructions you have for the care of your dog!
“Mykala was amazing! Our pets were not great for her - the cats created havoc while she was at work, knocking things over and breaking things as cats sometimes do. She handled the situation in a very professional manner. She was very responsive and we always felt that our pets were in great hands. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Amie did a fantastic job cat-sitting for us and put our minds completely at ease so we could enjoy our time away. She went out of her way to make everything very easy for us, including the meet and greet and returning our keys. She also sent great pictures, and she left our home very clean and tidy. We definitely recommend her.”


“Rebecca was amazing! My dogs liked her the minute she came in the door! It was so reassuring to know Rebecca was caring for our babies while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home. We definitely recommend her for drop in visits or - as in our case - full time care in our home. We like to travel, and will definitely be calling Rebecca for our next trips!! Thank you very much, Rebecca! P.S. Avalon and Sierra miss you! ??”
“Micaela was a lifesaver for us! Our previous dog sitter canceled last minute and Micaela swooped in and saved our vacation. She was extremely communicative, she shared photos of our dogs with us, she took very good care of our house and even better care of our dogs! We will definitely book her again the next time we travel and need to leave the dogs at home. I highly recommend Micaela to other dog owners in need of a caring and respectful petsitter”

“Angie is the absolute sweetest and took amazing care of my sweet boy Rudy. I came back to a spotless house and a happy pup. She was very communicative,l and sent lots of good pictures. I could not ask for more. I would not hesitate to work with Angie again in the future.”

“Morgan was amazing with our pup! She was very professional and kind when communicating back and forth, and sent us many pictures but not too much to feel overwhelmed. The house looked wonderful when we got back, and it was clear our dog was well taken care of for the couple days we were gone. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!”

About: I’ve had first hand experience in training and taking care of one client’s dog from daily walks and bathing and grooming. I absolutely love dogs and want to expand more!

About: Growing up we always had dogs! From German shepherds to doodles, I’ve had experience in caring for a variety of breeds.

I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times, transportation to and from my home if needed. If approved by owner, visits to the park on leashes will be offered. My husband and I recently moved to the Fort Wayne area. I am currently not working and have wide open availability! I can be flexible to accommodate existing routines and schedules for pet care and or house sitting. I have 3 acres of open land for dogs to run. All outside visits whether it’s play time or potty breaks are supervised. Animals are kept on a routine or schedule, as I think this helps reinforce good behavior. My 3 month old Golden Retriever puppy is crate trained and sleeps in his crate overnight. I have experienced in dog training as well.
About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.
