House Sitting in Southwick Village, Fort Wayne

“Laura and Sheena did house sitting with my Husky-poodle mix over a 2-week period as my family and I had traveled for the holidays. We came back to the house in 1 piece and my pup was happy and energetic as always. There was no personality change in him which is very important on my satisfaction list. I got updates and pics of my pup every night, as requested, which helped me cope without him. To top things off, I was surprised with a card from Laura and Sheena when we returned home. If that wasn't sweet enough, I also got prints of some of the pics they took of my pup. These gestures were extremely thoughtful and made us smile. As if you couldn't already tell, I highly recommend them and plan to utilize their services again and again!”

“Sumer is the best house/pet sitter on rover and in Fort Wayne! We are glad we booked with her so our cat could stay at home with no added stress of traveling. She made that successful! Thank you Summer!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Tracy was excellent and very professional! Our dogs we’re crazy about him at the meet and greet. He also took care of our cats. We arrived back from vacation with happy well cared for pets and a home in perfect order. Thank you Tracy! Rachel K.”

“Julia was awesome!! Very kind and punctual with watching our fur babies! Communication was great. Thanks Julia for taking care of our fur babies!”

“Mason was fantastic! He was tentative to all my Danes needs. He played, walked and fed according to our schedule. Mason has a great personality and my dogs LOVED him. Five stars are not enough!”

“Alyssa did great! We booked her for our wedding weekend where we didn’t know exactly what we would need help with. She was able to adjust as needed and work with us with patience and the pups loved her! She also left no trace of her visit. She is so personable and highly recommend!”

About: I originally started my pet care experience as a pet sitter for my neighbors during high school. My family had never owned a dog, but after I proved to my mom that I was responsible enough to care for someone else's pet, we got a dog of our own. Since then, I have cared for four dogs of my own at two separate households. They range in size from 10lbs-115lbs and I am therefore comfortable with dogs of any size. One of my pets has severe allergies so I am very familiar with food restrictions and the administration of medications for pets. I look forward to treating your pet as my own and developing a bond that makes them feel comfortable when you are unable to be there. I currently work as a teacher. I am gone weekday 6:30-3:30, but have full day availability during Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and summer break. Weekend availability is wide-open throughout the year. I have a fenced in-yard and love to take my dogs on walks. We focus on both mental and physical stimulation in our home to ensure dogs are thoroughly exercised.

“Great sitter always ready to look after my five dogs at the drop of a hat. I recommended he use this service because he said he really enjoys it.”

“Radamez Cruz presents very knowledgable in many areas, pet care and understanding of pets not the least. He would be a good trainer of pets and their humans. He also went out of his way to give Maggie a very valuable socialization experience. We look forward to trusting Cruz in the care and decisions he makes in Maggies best interest. He gets five stars in our book.”

About: Hello! First, I love all animals! I’ve dog sat for a few families while they are on vacation. I made sure all were loved, fed, and walked! I work from 9-3pm and I’m a full time online grad student.

I can ensure all rules and guidelines are followed set fourth of the owners! I’ll be in constant communication.

“I have known Kimeryn for many years. She is a huge animal lover. She used to volunteer at a no kill shelter for several years. She would foster many mama cats and their babies and would end up adopting a couple of them along the way. She has a huge heart and takes the best care of every animal in her life.”

“Ann watches my 2 puppies all the time! They love her! She treats them like they were her own! They are so tired after she watches them! Jennifer B.”

About: I am a 24 year old female zoo keeper working at FWCZ! I have a bachelors degree in Marine Science. I am certified in Animal Welfare and Training via SDZG, and routinely work and train with a wide variety of species. I have experience with puppies, baby kittens, and senior animal care. I love dogs & cats and would love to care for your fur babies when you’re unable to. I am a proud mama of 2 rescue cats. Flounder (Spicy) and Mackerel (Sweet) are my VERY spoiled fur children. Growing up, my family had 2 dogs of our own (Marley👼🌈🐾 and Mystie). I watched them each grow from puppies to seniors to end of life care. I have been feeding, walking, and caring for them since I was about 10 years old! I love to talk to your animals to make them feel comfortable and would be more than willing to play with their favorite toys! My education and career provide me with a deep understanding of animal behavior and how to provide what your per needs. If left a detailed care list, I have no problem sticking to your baby’s schedule. I am a Zoo keeper by day; my Sun-Thurs avail is open after 4pm. I have open availability Friday and Saturday. Will work with what you need though so please reach out. :) My availability for different services can be flexible. I offer walking, drop-in visits (play sessions/welfare check-ins), in your home sitting, and overnight care in your home Thursday afternoon through Saturday evening. I am comfortable administering any medications or special care your special fur baby may need. I am certified in Animal Behavior, Welfare, and Training via SDZG. This allows me to understand what your pet needs based on their behaviors.

“She did a fabulous job we’re our animals. She was there everyday and is very accommodating and accountable. We will be booking her again on rover”

“Mackenzie came in for us last minute after our dog sitter changed her mind after we had already left town. She was a God send! Will definitely use her again. House was in perfect order and she even sent us a pic where our dog seemed to be smiling!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog, Comet, for three years. He is as healthy as can be and I give him lots of attention to keep him happy! I have lots of free time, so my schedule is open to pretty much any time people may need care for their animals at their home. I’ll make sure your pet stays as happy and healthy as when you left them. Animals deserve so much love and care and I will be sure to give them that.

“I go out of town a few times a year and the time frame ranges from a night to two weeks and Rayna has always been there! She is absolutely wonderful with my dog and she goes out of her way to make sure that he gets the same level of care that I provide when I'm not there. I adore her as does Alvin!”

“Emily was great with our two pups! We greatly appreciated the updates and pictures sent. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy babies. We will definitely request her again! Thank you so much for staying with our girls!”

“I am writing this testimonial today, because I know from personal experience that Ren is beyond trustworthy as a loving and responsible dog guardian. I know this because she took care of my dear pittbull when I was away for college for over a year. While her fiance was hard at work everyday tending to his small business she looked after my dog (Stella) as if she was her very own. Ren would send me daily pics and videos of their walks and naps they enjoyed before I finished up my BA, and was able to pick my dog back up. I would trust her with any beloved pet without question :)”

“I have an older dog and he doesn't do well with boarding. I'm hesitant to leave him with anyone, but he did amazing with Olivia! She sent pictures and updates. Olivia went out of her way and was accommodating. I highly recommend Olivia!”
