“Tracy is so awesome, in fact I think Banner likes Tracy more than he likes me now. The updates I get while I'm at work are so reassuring and just make my day. I highly recommend and appreciate Tracy.”


“Christina was wonderful with my cat! She was super communicative and went above and beyond. I felt totally comfortable with her looking after my little guy.”


“Wes is fantastic. My dog Sam really enjoys his visits and spending time with the other dogs Wes cares for. It's been a really good experience with Wes! Thank you.”

“This is the second time I’ve booked with Lisa, I’m so thankful she could watch over my pets while I was out of town. She’s such a lifesaver! I’ll be using her again I’m sure!”


“Emma was awesome! Very detailed, kind, and proactive. My dog loved her and I felt great being on vacation knowing that Emma was taking care of him.”


“I contacted Natalie for a last minute visit and she was able to drop-in and check on our three pups. They were all content and everything was in place. It gives us peace of mind knowing that we don't have to rush back from an outing, our pups are all happy and cared for.”


“Elioenia was INCREDIBLE! She took us on with very short notice and was everything I could have hoped. Very communicative, an absolute pleasure to work with, and everything is perfect. She even brought in packages and pulled the trash cans up. The biggest thing though- the first night we were away there were some nervous stomachs apparently and our big dog had a very big, nasty accident on the carpet. If I didn’t know about it, I wouldn’t be able to find the spot. She cleaned it all up and shampooed that area. WAY above and beyond what could ever be expected and I don’t know what I could possibly say that would express my gratitude fully. Thank you, thank you, thank you Elioenia 🙏🏻.”



“Evan is amazing and has been so caring and nurturing to our elderly pugs! She is great at giving us updates about how our pugs are doing and very reliable. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies ? ?!!!!”


About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.

“Joscelyn was great with our puppy! We loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. Will definitely be back!”


“She was very helpful! My doggies made a mess and she was willing to help clean out! She was very good with communicating and updating me; sending me pictures of my fur babies.”


“Samantha was great with my kitties :) she was very flexible on time and catered to my boys *extra* needs. They were clearly happy to see her from the pics she sent me while I was away!”


“Amara was great with my pets! They always seemed very content in the pictures and videos that Amara sent me while I was away on vacation. Amara was also very flexible and patient and very kind. My pets definitely seemed to love her! 😊”


“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.”


“We needed help at the last minute and Jenna came through brilliantly! The dogs love her and everything was perfect on our return.”


About: I am a special eduction teacher looking for summer and weekend work. I have always had a dog in my life, a cat too! Right now I have two puppies. Their names are Murphy and Poe ! I am on a teacher schedule so I have summers off. I also work for our marching band so I have a weird schedule in the summer but I am still available! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups! My pups love to play and swim! I have also puppy sat in others homes multiple times.

“Heather did drop in visits with my pups, she spent time playing ball and making sure they had ample outside time. I would highly recommend Heather for your next sitter.”


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.

About: I’ve taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.
