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.
“We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!”
“Katie is great with our dogs! She is very kind and sweet. She is very quick to respond and send us picture and video updates. She worked great with our two crazy dogs who had to be kept separated due to behavior issues and she adapted to the situation very well. She has now watched our dogs twice & we will certainly ask her in the future! Highly recommend Katie!”
“Emma is the best and a true angel! We have three standard poodles who are our 4 legged kids and we have never left them in someone’s care outside of family. Poodles are very family oriented and can be wary of strangers. After meeting Emma, we were amazed at how quickly the girls took to Emma as if they had known her for a lifetime. She came to our home and provided outstanding care. Emma provided us periodic updates during the day and even sent pictures showing us how well things were going. Emma is a true blessing to our family and I know we will reach out to her again! 💕🐾”
“Bree was awesome and the cats appeared to like her also. She sent pictures and even took out the trash. We will be using her services again. It is so relaxing to be away and know that your pets are happy and well taken care of. I can't say enough about Bree.”
“Highly recommend. Brianna stayed at our place for over a week and took care of everyone (2 large dogs, 2 cats, fish, houseplants, and the garden). She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and it was such a relief to have her housesit while we were out of the country. I will book with her again in the future!”
“Abbigail was amazing! She gave my fur babies so much love and attention! She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. I’m beyond happy with her services! If you’re looking for a great sitter for your furry friends, she’s definitely the girl for you!”
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).

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 had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats.

Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.

Kyla G.
“Kyla is quite possibly the biggest animal lover of all time. She loves all animals and tries to make them all lover her. She's watched my 3 dogs for years when we are out of town-- and one of our dogs who hates everyone has become accepting of Kyla. She goes above and beyond in making sure you know how your pets are doing...check ins and pics galore. 10/10 recommend!”
