“Tracy is awesome. He was so kind to my puppy, prompt, attentive, and just gave excellent customer service overall. I don’t really want to tell everyone how great he is because I hope he always has availablility for my Banner, but I think it’s important to let folks know he will take excellent care of your fur babies.”


“Christina was amazing!! Our little Charlie has had a tough few months since he lost his sister. It’s been quite an adjustment for him and when we would leave him, he would be so sad all the time. Christina did a drop in with him, and when we came home, he was a happy boy. She communicated very well with us, and when he met her for the first time he fell in love. I totally recommend her!!”


“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.”

“We really appreciate everything that Elioenia does for our pup when we’re gone! Will continue to use her services and recommended her to whoever asks!”


“Emma was awesome! She sent me pics of my two cats and I was so happy to see both of them warm up to her - even my shy one. Thank you so much!”


About: I have owned dogs and cats for my entire life, so I know the day-to-day treatment that they need. I have also done sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. Professionally, I did animal care for various species of reptiles, amphibians, and fish, so I understand that every animal has different requirements and routines! I’m a natural caregiver and would love to make your pet feel loved and safe. I’m a recent college graduate living at home until I start my master’s program in August! I would love to fill all of this free time by spending it with animals. I am willing to care for pets as needs by each individual! I can pop in for 10 minutes a day or I can stay for a couple hours to give your pet the attention that he/she needs. I will do the basics (feeding, taking outside for bathroom, playing), but I can also administer medication and go for walks!


“Evan is great! I am so glad I found her when we got Sam, our new puppy that needed let out, fed and played with during the day. She's been on time and will take the dogs out in our larger back yard to sniff and play when the weather is nice. Sam and Charlotte have been cared for so well. :-)”


“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.”


“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.”


“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.”


“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.

“We are just loving Lindsey. She is great with our new puppy. She came over for a meet and greet first, we knew right away she was going to be a good fit.”


“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.”


“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, 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.

“Zoe stepped in when I was in a bind and took extra special care of my kitties. Thanks, Zoe!”


“Our first visit with Sumer was great! She checked in on our two dogs while we were away for the day and sent us pictures! We will definitely be using her again.”


About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 8. I love all animals but especially dogs. I’m an RN but in my free time I love being outdoors and going for walks. I work part time. So I have plenty of free time to spend with your beloved pets. I love going for walks and being active outdoor I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I have the sweetest lab to keep your fur baby company with playing or napping.

About: I have a calm and peaceful presence that animals respond to almost immediately. You have seen it, some people just seem to be gifted at calming animals down when no one else can. I am delighted to say animals and I just seem to understand each other. I have a genuine love for all animals and they can feel this. This is especially true with dogs, horses, cats, and tame birds. I've never had a time when I didn't have animals, and I'd be delighted to care for yours like my own. I prefer to meet with you and your pets before your scheduled appointment so that you don't feel like you're leaving your animals and house with a stranger and so your animals and I get to meet prior to you leaving them in my care, so that we can help release any sense of abandonment issues they may have. I work a 9-5 job during the week, but I am able to leave and visit your home as needed for potty breaks and to provide lots of love and attention. I only watch pets in your home, so they know that you are only temporarily away and they still feel safe and secure in their own environment. My hope is this also helps you feel separation anxiety a little less, knowing your pets are happy and frolicking in an environment that you are very familiar with. I want you to enjoy your time away, knowing your pets and house are well loved and cared for. This includes me taking care of your house, plants, mail, putting the trash bins out, doing potty patrol of the yard and cleaning the litter box. I'm very detail oriented and follow instructions well. I do my very best to give you your house better than you left it and to remove all traces of me having been there, so you don't have to come home and worry about cleaning up. I understand what it is like to have to leave your pets behind and will contact you with pictures as often as you would like, so you know everything is going fine! Every pet is different and wonderful and I adapt to each and everyone's needs. If this includes them sleeping beside me or me waking up every two hours for a potty break, then you can know that is what is being done. I have been a house and pet sitter for many years, but have only recently started offering my services on Rover. I have undergone an extensive background check so you can know your pets and belongings are safe in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets to make sure we are a great fit together!

Ellie C.Star Sitter
“I cannot say enough about Ellie! She is the biggest animal lover I've ever met. Even though I only use her for my dog, Ollie, I have seen her work with snakes, turtles, frogs, and even a stingray. Her speciality is rehabilitation of animals, so she has a ton of knowledge and experience. When she takes care of Ollie, she walks him, grooms him, and sleeps with him. He stepped on something once and she removed it from his foot right away. She also researches healthy foods and additional care for animals. You will absolutely love this girl and so will your pet!”

Tricia P.
“I would definitely recommend Tricia as a pet caregiver. She has not only watched my dogs along with thier puppies but my cats aswell. I was so impressed with the connection she had with them right away. When I came home my animals was not in need for anything. Tricia took the dogs for walks, fed them and my cats. I was surprised to see no puppy messes and even a clean cat box. If your looking for a top experienced and safe person with your fur babies Tricia is the right choice.”
