“Deborah did a wonderful job of taking care of our dogs and tortoise while we were gone. She sent photos and videos everyday and she went above and beyond by cleaning up before we returned, collecting mail, and making our dogs feel extra loved. I highly suggest Deborah for your dog sitting needs.”

About: Thanks for stopping by our page. We are a family that loves animals. We love visiting zoos and sanctuaries. Currently, we have one pyredoodle, a fish, and a bearded dragon. This account was created for my son. He is 13 and will be the main caretaker of your fur baby. This is the best way for him to play with lots of animals and more importantly learn responsibility. He has been wonderful and gets so excited every time he learns he'll be pup sitting again. He has 5 consistent repeat clients and loves their fur babies just as he does his brother (our pyredoodle is his brother :) ) Of course, my husband and I will always be supervising.😊 All updates and arrangements are made through me. All earnings go directly to my son. As we aren't on Rover to generate an income our profile may be different from other sitters. Please review the below to ensure we are the right fit for you and your fur baby. *We watch one dog at a time. This is because we want my son to enjoy each and every pup he puppy sits. We want your pup to receive all the love and attention we would want our own pup to receive if we were away. *If you have 2 dogs and one is fairly laid back please message me and to see if we can accommodate your needs. *We don't use kennels unless requested for pets that are already potty-trained *Puppies or dogs not potty trained please bring diapers that have holes for the tails. *Puppies or dogs not potty trained will be kenneled at night if diapers are not available. This is to assist with potty training as it's very important at this age. We have a large crate here we set up for your pup to use. *We do not require a meet and greet if your pup gets along with other animals as we watch one dog at a time and only animals that are friendly with other animals. *We have a pyredoolde born Nov. 2020 who lives inside. He's playful and loves everyone! He is very skittish and submissive to other dogs. The only worry with him is if your dog bullies him he will jump on my lap and he's so big it hurts! lol *WHAT TO BRING Please bring your pup's leash, food bowl, food, and any comfort toys they will need. A brush is great too as we brush our boy every evening and will brush your pup too. - We have learned from previous visits most of the pups arriving prefer to eat and drink out of our dog's food and water bowl. That is fine too! :) *UPDATES I try to text daily updates with a picture usually in the evenings. If it's an extended stay I may do it every other day. Please discuss with me your needs and I'll do my best to accommodate. In short, if your looking for a place your pup can stay and be treated like one of the family we may be the right fit for you. We'll treat your pup just like our own.😊 I work remotely and can easily accommodate most routines. My son goes to an online school and is here to play as soon as he finishes school in the morning. Our yard is fenced in with a vinyl fence. It's almost 1/2 acre. We do let our pup out by himself. If your pup digs under fences or is a Houdini that can climb over a 6ft please let us know. We let your pup stay in the house and roam the same as we do our pup. Also, we do not allow our dog on the furniture. He knows to stay off, but don't make a big deal out of it if your pup is more comfortable while they're with us.

“Natalie was so great! I didn’t have to worry for a second that my dog wasn’t being taken care of. Very kind and obviously cared to make sure everything was going okay. The best, will book again!!! 💖”


About: Most familiar with cat care all the way from little kittens to senior cats. I do dog walks and dropin visits on the Wag app and have a perfect 5 star rating for every job I have done and am looking to expand my clientele here. I absolutely love being able to care for pets and see how happy they are when we go for walks or play fetch. I also dogsit my family's golden doodle who is learning tricks and has anxiety around people. I have a part time job and do contract work on my own schedule so I can fit pet care around my current schedule easily. I intend your home space to be the same as you left it when you return from your trip with a happy pet waiting for you.

“Holli was great with our pup, Leo! She has great communication and is very caring. We did not have any worries while we were away for the weekend and felt confident that Leo was in good hands!”


About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!

“Sarah was absolutely awesome watching our dg while we had to go out for the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching our Freya and she let Freya get to know her for a while. She sent us updates and pictures and for the first time I’ve ever used a house sitter or had someone watch my dog I am very pleased.”


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. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. 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.


About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

About: I’ve had experience caring for horses, cats, and dogs. I have nursed many cats back to health in my youth on the farm. I have trained my two puppies and am happy to help in any way possible. I do have experience with diabetes and insulin injections. Senior care with blindness, deafness, and senility is something I’ve very familiar with as well. I am a stay at home dog mom of 3 and cat mom of 1 and have an open schedule to help care for your pets too. I am meticulously tidy and respectful of homes. I am honest and trustworthy and treat your home as I treat my own. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy environment while you’re away and for your pets to be as stress free as possible.

“Kayla is wonderful and took excellent care of my dog. My dog generally does not like new people but fell for Kayla in about 10 minutes. Kayla was very communicative and let me know that the dog was fine throughout the weekend. The best!”


“Kayla was so great with my guy. He has special needs and she made sure she fully understood his routine and needs. He loved her. I highly recommend Kayla and she will be my go-to whenever I am in the area.”


About: I am very used to being around all types of different dogs. I have a high energy dog myself, and know the amount of time and level care our pets need! I am fully prepared to make any accommodations for you and your pet’s needs! My quality of care and tailoring to your needs are my top priority. I just graduated college and now live here in Fort Wayne full time! I do this full time and am always willing to make time for your pets. I am pretty flexible and can always try to accommodate. I dont have a fenced in yard, but i have my own playful dog, the ability to walk them for as long as they need, and have a leash in our backyard that I use for my own dog to let her out. I love to play and give lots of attentions to dogs and will always provide the highest level of care for them. For me personally, I know that when I need someone to take care of my baby that my main concern is that the person is going to be caring and someone I can trust, so I know exactly how it feels leaving your pup with someone new! I am full prepared to give them whatever it is they need and do it in a caring and loving manner, just as I would want with my own dog.

I will cater to their needs and do what is most comfortable for them and you .. your fur baby will be in amazing care!
