“Joscelyn and Ivan and their 2 sweet kids took great care of our little 8 pound Morkie! You can tell they love dogs and love caring for them. Joscelyn is a great communicator and sent many pictures to keep us updated. We would definitely use them again!”


2. Heather S.
“Heather took excellent care of our two dogs. It was their first night away from home and they were relaxed and happy when we came to pick them up. We’ve already booked their next stay with her. I’m happy to recommend her services!”


3. Azure S.

“Azure was phenomenal and made the care and safety of our pup a priority! He was well taken care of, got to play with other pups, and she ensured that he was safe. We would 100% recommend time and time again!”


4. Eliza S.
“Eliza is a true animal lover. She treats our pets as if they were her own. We can rest easily when she’s caring for our four-legged family members. We have a menagerie of pets and she’s been taking care of them for the last 10 years. She’s experienced with all types of pets from young ones to seniors, and from those that are medically fragile to ones that are the highest of energy. She’s reliable and dependable, experienced and highly qualified. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to care for your family's pets!”


5. Anne T.

“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.”

“My boxer pup, Jax stayed with Sara for a week and I can’t be more happier that I chose her. Sara was attentive, accommodating and most of all so loving to Jax. I could not recommend anyone better…..bonus that she has pups of her own so she is very aware of the pups needs. Thank you Sara!”

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, 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! 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.


10. Karisa E.

“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”


11. Jill P.
“Jill has always been very nice to work with we have 3 animals in the house. Two big dogs that have night and day personalities and a small cat and never had any issues. She's even watched our daughter for a few times. I'd trust her with my house keys.”


12. Nan D.

“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!”


13. Zoe D.

“Zoe was fantastic with my dog! She has very well trained dogs that would get along with any dog. I would highly recommend and would book her again!!”


14. Greg F.


“Greg was wonderful. He welcomed my Saint Bernard Ivan with open arms and Ivan had a blast. Thank you for watching my baby. Love the updates and pictures we got in our short trip will be back next year!”


15. Agnatha W.

“Violet always has the best time when she goes to Agnathas home! She comes back exhausted, from all the play time she gets in while there! Agnatha loves to spoil Violet as well, she snuggles her and lets her on the sofa! I was worried Violet wouldn’t want to come back home with us. It is a nice relief knowing our pup is getting the best care while we are away!”


16. Salehin H.

“Left my girl with him for the first time ever. I’ve never used an app to find care for her and he kept me updated on what she was doing and put my mind at ease. I would use Salehin again”


17. Rachel M.

“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”


18. Caitlin B.
About: I have been pet sitting and caring for my own pets and family/friends pets for about 8 years now. I can walk, feed, bathe, administer medication, and play with your furry friends of all kinds. I am a school teacher on summer break so my daily/weekly routine is very open to care for your pets. I am free almost every day! If coming to your house to take care of your pets, I will make sure to keep your furry friend feeling as safe and comfortable as possible. Whether through use of a crate, harness, leash, etc, I will make sure they are well cared for.


19. Stephanie M.

“Ozzie had the best care at Stephanie’s. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home with me! She treated him just like her own and I feel very lucky to have had found her. I will definitely try to rebook next time we travel.”


20. Kristen O.


“Kristen was so fantastic. She won over Asta’s heart and treated him with such great care. He looked extremely happy in all the pictures she sent which was daily. I love being able to trust someone like Kristen with our pup.”
