Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cedar
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cedar
“They took great care of my boy. They only sent one or two photos a day; our other sitters spoiled us with photos, but he was in great hands.”
“Alex and Jayce were wonderful with our dog. So welcoming and very responsive. Our dog had a great time playing with their dogs. They sent great pictures and we could tell our dog was comfortable at their house. Would recommend to friends and family and will use them again!”
“We were gone for a week and a half, and she did such a wonderful job with our two boys! She went above and beyond to make sure they were healthy and happy. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she took of our babies while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Lyndsey and her family took great care of our Lilly for our long weekend away. We were sent daily updates with photos and a couple videos too. Lilly had such a great time we are definitely going to be booking her next stay ASAP”
“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”
“Alexis was great with Bruno! I know he can be a lot to handle especially with his barking and his separation anxiety, but she worked with him and made it happen. Thank you so much! I would definitely book with her in the future!”
“Karisa was an amazing pair for Eddie. We got to visit beforehand for a meet and greet. They have a huge yard which I am sure Eddie saw a ton of. This experience was made so easy and allowed my son and myself to visit family for a well overdue visit. Our minds were at peace and our pup was healthy and full of spirits when we came to pick up. Please book with zero hesitations!!! If they had a 6th star to choose, I would have selected.”
“Mindi did a great job. Gizmo needed extra care due to his age she handled it like a pro! Gizmo needed meds and used an inhaler and had an ear infection at the time. I highly recommend Mindi she is very attentive and takes special care when dog sitting!”
About: We provide residential boarding in both our house and finished barn depending on availability and needs. You can schedule a tour. Drop off and pick up time as early as 7am and 11pm. Playtime in the yard is included. You can pay extra for a daily walk. Charged a flat rate per night. Updates available during stay. All dogs are welcome small, big, young, old, friendly, and we are also capable of caring for aggressive dogs. As a family business, my wife Valerie is home during the day to care for clients and I’m home in the evening and weekends to assist. Client needs are met with compassion and knowledge. Care is discussed in detailed and documented. Updates are sent as requested. Dogs in the house must be able to be crated, otherwise the large indoor/outdoor runs in the barn are a better option.
“Nan and her husband did a wonderful job watching our senior dog overnight. This is the first time I've left her with strangers and I was very anxious. Nan sent picture updates every couple of hours so I could relax and enjoy my trip.”
“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”
“I can’t even begin to say enough great things about how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Natalie is!! From start to finish she made not only our boy Oso feel comfortable, but us as well. She communicated with pictures daily of our boy and how great of a time they were all having together!! If your in the Fort Wayne or surrounding areas and, like us, are on the fence about boarding rest assured you’ve found on of THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS RIGHT HERE!! Thank you so so much for the care and everything you did to make our first time boarding our pet the best experience possible !”
“Great experience! A wonderful family that loved on our dogs while we were gone. We received pictures every day and put us at ease with our first Rover experience. I highly recommend!”
“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”
“Alexx was a life saver! She was a complete stranger to us when we first met but after a walk through visits, we 100% felt comfortable having her take care of our 3 dogs. We were able to keep our fur children at home and have her come for visits. She let them out multiple times a day, feed them and administered their medications. She was respectful, kind and caring to our babies and I strongly recommend her to everyone! I would giver her 10 stars, if it was an option.”
“We were so pleased by the care received from Mariana and Mark. They treated our girls like their own. Huge relief when you can find a sitter that’s reliable when traveling.”
“Agnatha is just the BEST! Risotto loves her so much that he puts on a little temper tantrum when we have to pick him up to bring him home! Definitely recommend hiring Agnatha to watch your dogs!”
“This is the first time we used Jami for our dog Lexi. Jami is very prompt with her responses and very friendly. She sent daily updates. Our dog had a great time and was very happy when we came to pick her up. We will be using her again and would recommend!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”

“My kitties are usually the kind that hide with strangers. They came out every time Mariah dropped in to check on them , and she sent pictures!!!! I would definitely use her again . Thanks again !!!!”
“VERY last minute booking and had fast response and availability to fit my needs. Was able to give my pupper a small walk and potty break while I was out of town. Received multiple pictures during the experience and while my dog seems a little skiddish around strangers, I saw her very happy in the photos in a very short time. A big thank you! Made my life and schedule alot easier today with your services.”
“Alexis was amazing & I will absolutely be using again! She did 1 hour drop-in visits for my 2 kitties for 8 days & went above & beyond my expectations. This was the first time I’ve ever had to leave them for an extended period of time, so it was also the first time I’ve had to hire someone to help take care of them, so I was pretty nervous. She came over ahead of time to get acquainted with them & myself, stayed in constant communication while I was gone, sent me lots of pictures & updates, & most impressive- got one of my babies to be snuggly & loving with her which is incredible considering their normal disposition around new people (hiding be pretty hissy/unfriendly). That alone let me know just how amazing she is with animals! When I came home their litter boxes were clean, their food & water were full, & they were both perfect condition. I’m so grateful for Alexis & how well she took care of my kitties while I was gone. I knew they were safe & well cared for which made being away from them 1,000 times easier! She will be my number 1 go-to anytime I need someone to take care of my cats in the future!”
“First time using the Rover service and our first time away from our pet for such a long duration. Franki was an excellent communicator, went above and beyond spending her time with our dog in his own home so he would be comfortable, and we're so thankful for her! Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”
About: I absolutely adore cats! Growing up, there was always a cat in our house, so I’ve been around them my entire life. We also had a cat with PRCA where we had to administer medication daily! If that is something your cat needs, I’m completely familiar. I just love every kind of cat, whether they’re shy or outgoing…they’re all the same to me! If they need some extra cuddles, that’s even better! Please reach out if you have any other questions!
“Natalie is truly the best. I needed someone to care for my cat last minute, and lucky Natalie was available. She sent pictures, videos and constant updates. I was never worried about my cat while I was on vacation. She is truly the best!”
“Amazing! I have a disability that makes keeping up with my litter boxes. Charity has come over almost every week for a year and a half. She is flexible with scheduling if something comes up, she is efficient and thorough, she is very personable, and even my grumpiest cat has come around to her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Risa did a great job taking care of our fur babies! This was our first time using Rover & she helped us navigate the app. She responded quickly and answered all our questions. Risa is such a lovely person…easy to talk to and filled with positive energy. She makes you feel at ease right away. We received daily updates on time and she collected our mail without us having to ask. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Arita did an awesome dropping in on our golden this week! She took her on walks everyday, gave us pictures and feedback! We can tell our golden enjoys her! We would recommend Arita again and again!”

I work in the GKB schools and have summers off so my whole week is open. My animals and I take walks every morning and afternoon. I have a senior dog and a cat who loves other dogs. My kids also love to help and play with animals in our big yard.
“This was my first time using Rover and I loved it! I read through a lot of sitter profiles to find the right person for my kitties, one of which is special needs. Erika was perfect!! I would trust her with any of my pets and look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Hayley is super nice! Things seemed to go smoothly with her visits with our kitty. She brought in a package for us that I wasn't expecting, so thanks so much for that! Left the place just as we left it.”
About: I have had at least 1 cat my entire life. I currently have 2 kitty fur babies who live in house full time. I rescued both of my cats from the shelter. My first cat had a cold and we had to administer medication to him for the first few weeks we had him. I love all my fur babies but the cats have an extra special place in my heart.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cedar
“My 1 year old Newfie does daycare Monday through Thursday. They treat her like their own and with a lot of patience, because she can be a handful! Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter. This is my dog’s first time with a sitter and he’s very happy in her home. He’s a little “special needs”. We talked them through before his first visit, and she was willing to learn the best practices to set him up for success. We plan to use her services again soon!”
“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”
About: I have owned dogs for most of my life, usually rescues from the pound until I fell in love with the keeshond breed. I have handled everything from 2 month old puppies to senior dogs. Hello. My name is Diana. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 dogs of my own (a friendly but old lady 10 yr old Bischon Frise and a goofy, very active 10 month old Keeshond. I am willing to work with many different personalities and will cater to your dog’s specific needs. Rest assured that I will treat your dogs like they are part of my own family. I live in a clean, smoke free home with plenty of room for your furr baby to stretch their paws and have a good time. If they enjoy the outdoors im just a 10 minute walk to The Pufferbelly Trail. I will provide regular updates and focus on creating a safe, fun environment for every dog, ensuring they get tailored attention and enrichment. I'm excited to meet you and your furry friend! I have everything needed to take care of both puppies and elderly dogs. A large home with lots of space both inside and outside and plenty of toys for them to enjoy!

I am able to dog sit during the week, over the weekend, and overnight as well. We have a fenced in yard to keep the dogs safe. We also live in an area that is great for walks multiple times a day.
“We are so thankful Agnatha was able to watch our baby, Jett! She was so nice, friendly and very welcoming to Jett. We loved getting pictures & knowing our baby was in safe hands. If we are ever back in town we’ll be using Agnatha again! Highly recommend her!! ❤️”
About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.
“Nancy (& her husband) were abundantly caring and great with my Australian Shepard! I highly recommend letting them care for your dog for any duration. Updates were provided multiple times daily. Every activity was shared all with detail. Thank you!”
“She was a lifesaver on a short notice Friday/Saturday when I had to go out of town for events with my son. I was so worried about Nova being a puppy and so full of energy and in a strange home overnight on the first boarding. Samanta messaged me updates and photos and made me feel much better!! Definitely will call her in the future if I need to.”
“Donut was well taken care of by Millie! I had to be at work last minute and Millie was able to watch him for the entire day and into the evening. I loved how Millie would send photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely book with Millie again!”
“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”

As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away.

I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Cedar
“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs throughout my life. Both of my grandparents have also always had them, so I am very familiar with how to care for them. I volunteered time with my grandma taking care of the animals and cleaning at the Dekalb humane shelter when I was younger. I just started walking my neighbors three dogs recently. I track these walks on Strava, and you can check that out if you’re curious about how far we walk and what the route looks like. I love animals so much that I choose to live a vegan lifestyle! I am excited to meet your pet(s)! Right now I have a part time job and no kids. I spend time working out, but that can be worked around easily. I may be unavailable if I have a boxing match, and I have practice 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8-9 a.m. on Saturdays. I prefer to care for pets at other people’s homes because we have three cats ourselves. I am very confident in my ability to care for pets. I am very capable so it’s okay if you have a dog that pulls pretty hard.
About: Both my wife and I have had pets since we were little. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and love spending time with them all. I work from home Monday-Friday, and my wife works from home only 3 days a week, allowing a lot of flexibility for potty breaks and play time. We are also home most of the time on weekends. We have a comfortable, fenced in backyard and a cage for inside if needed. We have 2 friendly dogs that have been around plenty of other dogs with no issues, and always love the extra company. Our 2 cats also get along well with dogs, and have always been around them.
“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”

About: **I am no longer providing overnight services until further notice.** I’m CPR certified for dogs of all sizes as well as cats, and my certification is valid through 2027. My journey with pet care began when I was thirteen where I would pet sit for family friends and acquaintances. I’ve been passionate about looking after animals ever since. Growing up with both a dog and a cat who were part of my life for nearly a decade deeply influenced my love for animals and inspired me to help care for others' pets while they’re away. My top priority is making sure every pet feels just as loved and comfortable as they do with their family. Whether it’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, going for walks, or just giving them company and cuddles, I’m here to ensure they are comfortable and having fun! I have experience administering oral medications and caring for minor injuries, such as bandaging hotspots. While I don’t currently have experience with injections, I’m always eager to learn and expand my skills. I am currently a student at PFW. I have classes Tuesdays & Thursdays (as of now) for about 2 hours. Otherwise, my schedule is pretty open! I have a very part time job outside of Rover, usually only ~5 days a month, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! I’ll treat your pet(s) with the same love and care I’d want someone to give my own. My pets are super affectionate (and a little needy), so I’m more than ready to give your pup as much attention, cuddles, treats, and playtime as they’d like/need. For cat parents: I have a super playful, energetic kitty of my own, and I’d be more than happy to bring that same energy and attention to your cat(s), whether they’re ready to chase toys, eat some treats, or just need a little patience.
About: Animals have been a passion of mine all of my life. I have owned and cared for many species including fish, reptiles, birds, hamsters, dogs and cats. My love for animals brought me to work as a veterinary assistant and later to attend the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers. I have now been training and competing with my own dogs for 20 years and am also a professional dog trainer. As a trainer, I have earned the credentials to be an AKC Canine Good Citizen/S.T.A.R. Puppy/ Farm Dog/ Trick dog evaluator. With my veterinary assistant and dog training experience I have gained the knowledge to properly handle and care for many beloved pets. I can assure you that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available most days. Mondays and Wednesdays I am unavailable between 9:00AM-5:00PM. I have plenty of time to provide services for you and your pets. If boarding in my home- you can use my kennel set up or bring your own crate. I have a nice, fenced play yard that I use to let my dogs and visiting dogs run and play (I do not let my own dogs play with visiting dogs). I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.
“Alexis did a great job with Sophie. Sophie liked her when she first walked in the door, which is always a great sign because dogs have great instincts in people thanks, Alexis, see you Wednesday!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. I've spent my whole life around animals and currently share my home with four wonderful cats and one happy dog. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, respect their boundaries, and provide the love and attention they deserve. I'm kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or just quiet companionship.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!

We do have four children ages 9-18, so we can only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards children. You are welcome to contact us anytime if you have any questions and we will happily send updates and pictures of your dog to you! We can’t wait to pamper and love your furry friend! I work from home full time and my daughter is home as well. We have a very flexible schedule where at least one of us will always be there for your fur baby! We follow all the instructions given to us by you prior to the visit and always make sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy! Your fur baby will get lots of play time, cuddles, and treats when they’re with us!
About: I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my entire life. I have dog sat for numerous people with one dog or more. I love animals just like babies. They all deserve all the love and attention possible. 💗 I currently work full-time with a flexible schedule and have the ability to work from home when necessary. I come home through my work days periodically to check on my own fur babes. I am a moderately active person. My dogs and I love to play outside, with their favorite toys and going on walks. My dogs are my four legged children, and I will be sure to treat yours as my own in my care. We have a doggy door with a four foot privacy fence for the babes to go in and out whenever they please. I am more than happy to crate your dog if you need and make sure they are fed specific foods if needed as well.

“They took great care of my boy. They only sent one or two photos a day; our other sitters spoiled us with photos, but he was in great hands.”
“Alex and Jayce were wonderful with our dog. So welcoming and very responsive. Our dog had a great time playing with their dogs. They sent great pictures and we could tell our dog was comfortable at their house. Would recommend to friends and family and will use them again!”
“We were gone for a week and a half, and she did such a wonderful job with our two boys! She went above and beyond to make sure they were healthy and happy. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she took of our babies while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Lyndsey and her family took great care of our Lilly for our long weekend away. We were sent daily updates with photos and a couple videos too. Lilly had such a great time we are definitely going to be booking her next stay ASAP”
“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”
“Alexis was great with Bruno! I know he can be a lot to handle especially with his barking and his separation anxiety, but she worked with him and made it happen. Thank you so much! I would definitely book with her in the future!”

Playtime in the yard is included. You can pay extra for a daily walk. Charged a flat rate per night. Updates available during stay. All dogs are welcome small, big, young, old, friendly, and we are also capable of caring for aggressive dogs.

Care is discussed in detailed and documented. Updates are sent as requested. Dogs in the house must be able to be crated, otherwise the large indoor/outdoor runs in the barn are a better option.

And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”
“I can’t even begin to say enough great things about how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Natalie is!! From start to finish she made not only our boy Oso feel comfortable, but us as well. She communicated with pictures daily of our boy and how great of a time they were all having together!! If your in the Fort Wayne or surrounding areas and, like us, are on the fence about boarding rest assured you’ve found on of THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS RIGHT HERE!! Thank you so so much for the care and everything you did to make our first time boarding our pet the best experience possible !”
“Great experience! A wonderful family that loved on our dogs while we were gone. We received pictures every day and put us at ease with our first Rover experience. I highly recommend!”
“Alexx was a life saver! She was a complete stranger to us when we first met but after a walk through visits, we 100% felt comfortable having her take care of our 3 dogs. We were able to keep our fur children at home and have her come for visits. She let them out multiple times a day, feed them and administered their medications. She was respectful, kind and caring to our babies and I strongly recommend her to everyone! I would giver her 10 stars, if it was an option.”
“We were so pleased by the care received from Mariana and Mark. They treated our girls like their own. Huge relief when you can find a sitter that’s reliable when traveling.”
“Agnatha is just the BEST! Risotto loves her so much that he puts on a little temper tantrum when we have to pick him up to bring him home! Definitely recommend hiring Agnatha to watch your dogs!”
“This is the first time we used Jami for our dog Lexi. Jami is very prompt with her responses and very friendly. She sent daily updates. Our dog had a great time and was very happy when we came to pick her up. We will be using her again and would recommend!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“We would give Stephanie more than 5 stars if we could. Our dog loves staying at her house and we love that she always provides a wonderful enriching environment for him. Our little scaredy-dog is starting to come out of his shell thanks to Stephanie, her hubby Chris and their cats.”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job providing loving care to my Shih Tzu. She sent to me daily updates and photos; it was so reassuring to know my pup was in the hands of an attentive caregiver.”
“Emily was amazing with watching Whiskey. She updated me with pictures throughout the entire stay and was quick to respond. Her fur babies and Whiskey all got along wonderfully as well and loved all running and playing in her fenced in backyard.I highly recommend Emily and her household for hosting a stay for your loved one. Will definitely be going through Emily for any future visits to Fort Wayne in the future.”
About: I have had animals my entire life so I am very accustomed to taking care of pets. Our dog had seizures and had to take medication 2x/day. I know how important our animals are and what they mean to us. They are family. Having 3 pets of my own, animal care is in play 24 hours a day. Whether it's potty breaks, medications, or feeding time, I always make sure my animals are healthy and happy. Ensuring that they have food and water and a safe, warm place are of utmost importance. Providing love and affection because we are their whole world!
