About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care from a Lifelong Animal Advocate I specialize in caring for your fur friend IN YOUR HOME ONLY Over 25 Years of Experience | Calm Presence | Gentle, Attentive Care Hello! I'm a retired Nurse's Aide and lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry companions of all ages. Whether it’s a shy cat or a senior pet needing special attention, I offer a calm, reliable presence and a deep well of experience. I’ve cared for dogs and indoor cats. My approach? Gentle, observant, patient, and full of love. Why choose me? I’m home full-time, so your pet will get consistent, one-on-one attention. I understand animal behavior and respond with kindness, not force. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for aging pets. I treat every animal like family - because they are. Families often say I’m the kind of sitter they don’t have to worry about - because they know their pets are truly in good hands. If you're looking for someone with old-school reliability and a heart full of love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your pet. Let’s connect, I’d love to meet you and your furry friend. I’m retired and home most of the day, which means your pet will have a calm, steady presence and attentive care. I shape my schedule around their needs, feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just quiet company. Mornings and evenings are reserved for routine care, while afternoons often include one-on-one time, enrichment, or simply being nearby so your pet feels secure. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in - it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Your fur friend's comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, secure environment with clear routines and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and needs - so I can respond with confidence and kindness. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routines. I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send updates so you’re never left wondering. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned - through consistency, care, and respect for both pets and people.

“Victoria was so attentive to my puppy and provided a BUNCH of pictures and updates. I was very nervous leaving my puppy with someone new for the first time, but Victoria was understanding and made it as smooth as possible. Jasper was in a great mood and slept really well that night after we got home. Will definitely be rebooking with her for regular walks.”

I’ve looked after dozens of animals and volunteer with Fort Wayne’s Tails on Trails dog-walking program. I'm in the process of starting a business which makes my schedule very flexible. With adequate notice, I can be available just about any time. When I visit your home I will follow your detailed instructions to a T. Additionally, all dietary needs will be taken care of carefully and accurately. Exercise, quality time and care with your pet, and the utmost respect for your home are non-negotiables.

About: I love dogs and cats-my two pets are just like children. I have always had a pet and I enjoy wet dog noses, puppy breath, and kitty purrs! I will treat your fur-babies just like family and make sure they are happy and cared for. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I keep a very organized schedule. I took a long break from Rover due to training and activities with my own dog, COVID shutdowns making everything difficult, etc. I will be offering services during the times of early mornings, evenings and weekends as I do work a full-time job during the weekdays (during the day). I can provide trusted care for your pets-dogs on a leash, monitored playtime, and poop pickup for dog potty. If a pet has pottied or jumped water/food I can clean that up also.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!

About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Cats, dogs, rodents, fish... even spiders! I've loved and cared for them all. I'm confident around all pets no matter their size or demeanor Working in education, my summers are always guaranteed off so I have plenty of time for your animals! Mornings, afternoons, evenings...even emergency visits! I can do them all. Including WEEKEND AVAILABILITY Any instructions given about your fur baby will be followed to a T. They are my number one priority and will always be treated as such.

About: I grew up with cats & dogs. We always had at least two in our house as kids and I've owned lots and lots of pets with human names. Since I’m a teacher I am available all summer long. I am an early riser and can accommodate all times you may need for your pets My pets get walked four times a day and seem to be my mode of exercise. I can accommodate early and late hours in particular.

About: I’ve enjoyed watching some friends dogs espcially smaller ones. They are so sweet. I fed them, took them outside, played with them, and provided companionship while the owners were away. I am currently working 11-8 so could be there with the animals in the morning and evening. The animals would be well taken care of. I don’t have a place for animals at my home, but while watching my friends animals I made sure to leave quickly while they were distracted. I also made sure to have them put in their crate before leaving.

About: I have trained my cat to use the toilet like a human, she is very nice and would love to play with any pets who visit. I look forward to working with any pets you may bring. I am currently between jobs so I am available to play with your pups 24/7 for now, the job I am interested in would be night shift as well so I would be gone whilst they sleep and back for play during the day. I am very loving and careful, I love all animals and have much experience with all sizes and personalities of pups and cats. I will give them all the love and attention they desire.

About: I’ve always been asked to take care of animals by friends and family. I’ve always been asked to pet sit due to my love for animals and my ability to love them as my own. I’m currently working part time and am taking college classes online at Western Governors University! I enjoy the flexibility of pet sitting and how well it works with my schedule and how I also get to build bonds with animals! Fenced in yard with two cats. We do not accept animals that have no experience with cats/ dogs not get along with cats. We also require meet and greets to provide the best care for your animals make sure our home is a good fit.

About: I've successfully adopted and trained a shelter dog named Eben. I have taken it upon myself to learn how to train dogs, how they think and how they view the world around them. This isn't just a job for me. This is a passion. It is my personal goal to keep dogs healthy, active and in their homes with loving families. My goal is to keep dogs out of shelters and off the table. I plan on doing this by helping YOU take care of your dogs by making sure they have exercise, enrichment, structured routines and structured play. I have trained a 2yr old dog and a 4 month old puppy in basic obedience, crate training, potty training, basic recall, proximity, socialization and leash walking. These are basic things i have done on my own with my own personal dog as well. I only supply healthy food and treats to any dog under my care, unless i am provided with it. Any special requests can be discussed. I am currently unemployed, however i am pursuing a part-time job as a junior dog groomer or animal specialist at petco, along with pursuing a career in dog training. At the moment, i have 24/7 availability for pet care. I bring a calm, loving, trusting and fun presence in order to build trust and a bond with any pet under my care. I can also help reinforce training regiments, diet plans, and other things. Your dogs will be walked, cuddled, played with and given mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and other things. I do have a friendly dog that can keep them company on they are aquainted with each other. I can also crate atleast 1 dog easily if it is needed, though i would prefer not to. Your dog will be monitored at all times under my care and will have frequent trips outside for potty, walks and sniffing sessions.

About: I've been caring for pets since childhood - feeding, walking, bathing, and building trust with animals of all temperaments. I treat every pet like family, tuning into their needs with calm and compassionate care. My schedule is very flexible! I am available most weekdays & weekends, and I am happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and specific needs. I currently provide pet care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in a familiar, stress-free environment. I am respectful, dependable, and follow your routines with care. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for walks, your pet’s safety & well-being are always my top priorities. I will share updates as often as you’d like, so you can feel confident while you're away.

About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.

About: Head out of town with the confidence that you furry one will enjoy excellent care. Our golden doodle loves to welcome guests. And our teenage son is here to take your dog on walks (we’re just off the Goshen millrace), play fetch in our back yard, and generally lavish attention on them. We offer seasonal times mostly. This is focused around times when our son is off school in order to give constant care. The adults also have flexible work schedules ensuring plenty of support for the rhythms of pet care. We keep a tidy home where your pet can relax and play. We make every effort to maintain the rhythms (exercise, feeding, etc) that your pet is accustomed to.

About: I work at a Veterinary clinic so I have lots of experience with different types of pets! I know how to administer medications if needed and can help insure your pet is doing well while you’re away! I also have many different animals with different health conditions and ages in my own house so I am prepared for any situation! I have longer lunches at work to be able to stop by for visits on my lunch along with stopping before and after my shift and again before bed if needed!! When taking care of pets at your house I will ensure that I clean up any messes they do make and take extra care to ensure they get plenty of exercise along with getting any needed medications and treatments!
