“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!!”

“Anabela is awesome! She was so helpful to me as a newbie to Rover and she took excellent care of our little pup. Anabela kept us posted about all her visits with photo updates, and she asked good questions to make sure that everything went smoothly. We enjoyed our time away so much more knowing that Pixie was in good hands!”


“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 ? ?!!!!”

“I loved that Heather came to meet Farah and I. I could tell right away she was caring and very patient. Our cat sitter couldn't come to check in on Farah while we were on vacation due to unexpected health decline. Heather was willing to with very little notice. We were gone for 13 days and had Heather do a drop in for 11 days. Farah requires eye cleaning just about every day and is super picky about how clean her litter box is. She also hates getting her eyes cleaned and Heather did such a great job with her eye care. She made sure she had clean water each day too. Heather did the best job!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl!!”

“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.”

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 (August-May), 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 or holidays! 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.
“Tracy is the BEST! He’s punctual, he puts in plenty of time with my sick pet, he even notified us when it was obvious someone had been in our house (our roofer). Book with Tracy!”
“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 🙏🏻.”

“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.”

“Samantha was great! She went above and beyond for our two kitties and they loved her. She spent time playing with them and sent us awesome pictures. Very respectful of our home and has great humor. Would def recommend ?”

About: Hi!! I’m Taylor! Your dogs new bestie, I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I am also a healthcare provider taking a break right now. I am usually the first person my friends and family ask to watch their animals! I enjoy long dog walks, parks, dog snuggles and hanging out. I am home all day right now, looking to fill my time. I’d love to take your pet for walks to nearby parks, listen to Taylor Swift together or snuggle on the couch watching movies. I have a huge yard and a very sweet eight year old labradoodle that loves all dogs, and cats. All animals are welcome on the couch or bed! Whatever makes them comfortable.
“Katy is amazing! The dogs live their best lives when Katy comes to visit. They get walks and pets. They are always so much happier when we come home and Katy has been there than when we pick them up from a kennel.”
