“Heather is very reliable. I’ve used her several times and am happy with her care! She’s very responsive and timely to my inquiries. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I work full time as a nurse and I want to use my 11+ years of dog owner experience to make your pets feel as at home as possible and give peace of mind to owners that need to be away. I don’t mind doing anything extra your pets need to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m confident in handling large dogs. We have no dogs in our home and no children. I’m always available all day Friday-Sunday for services. I work full time Monday through Thursday. I’ll be available after 6pm weekdays and any time Friday-Sunday. I’m ok with late night drop ins as well. I currently live with my fiancé with no pets or kids. We have a lead in our back yard that is lined with trees and shrubbery to the back and isolated from the culdesac/neighbirhood.

“Joscelyn was very communicative and flexible with us. Our schedule was crazy but she worked with us and our dog was taken well care of and didn’t mind going back 3 times. If he didn’t like it he would have let me know. Special thanks and if we ever come back to Ft. Wayne, we will definitely look you up.”


“Natalie took great care of my lab while I was out of town. She sent me pictures that insured me he was doing well. When I picked up dog he seemed happy that he made new friends. I recommend Natalie for your pet sitting needs!!”


“I was nervous about contacting a new sitter as my dog is very special in all of the best ways. But Azure was wonderful & my dog is still sleeping off all of the fun he had the 10 days he was with her. S/o to Rufus, the dog she brought over to keep my dog Apollo company, I think he found a new bestie. Highly recommended her as a sitter!!!”


“Omg Anne was simply amazing and super easy to work with. She was able to accommodate me while my plans changed and allowed me to be able to put my mind at ease knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of. I will be using her on an ongoing basis and I strongly recommend her to care for your pets any day of the week. I appreciate this app so much!!”


“Anne was just amazing. From letting us visit us beforehand and showing us how Sanji’s stay was going to be like to sending us pictures and updates multiple times a day, she went above and beyond. She was just a ray of light to us and Sanji. We had a worry free trip for the first time in a while, all thanks to Anne.”


“Salehin accepted my request last minute and really helped me with my dog! He sent me constant pictures and gave me updates on her. She was happy when she left :)”


“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”


“Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”


About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy

“Our dog was well cared for while leaving her with Tom and his family! Tom was easy to communicate with and frequently sent pictures. I hope it works for them to sit Ollie again!”


“Jennifer has sat my 17 lb Eskimo dog mix twice now, and each time she has been easy to work with, communicative, friendly, and professional. I'm really grateful that she's been available when I'm in town visiting family.”


“Kristen was super communicative and very friendly. I've never boarded any pet before and Kristen made the process super easy! She sends lots of updates and pictures, and her home is wonderful. I felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her hands. Will be using her again, if we need to!”


“Erin was wonderful with both of our pups! - Bear absolutely adored her, which made leaving him so much easier. We got picture and video updates, as well as texts throughout their stay, and they came home VERY happy and healthy! - She was wonderful to work with and has such a heart for dogs! 100/10 Recommend!!”


“I'm so glad we found Karisa and her family. We were looking for someone to take care of our dog, Trooper, while we were out of town. We boarded him with Karisa and everything was great. We received messages all week long with pictures, and we could tell Trooper had a great time. We will definitely plan on boarding Trooper with Karisa in the future.”


“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”


“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”
