“This was our dog's 2nd stay with Lindsay. Bella came home very happy and well cared for. Lyndsey gave me a daily update with Bella's schedule. I am very pleased and, if Lindsey is willing, will return. Thanks so much!!”
“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“Book Azure to care for your fur baby you will not regret it! Azure is always friendly and professional. You can tell that she truly cares about her clients pets. I always feel confident that my baby is safe and well taken care of when he’s in her care. He always comes home happy and good and tired from playing and being loved on in her home.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures. Her pups are sweethearts and got along great with ours. Would definitely board with her again.”
“Karisa was fantastic! Our dog is older (15) and can get a little nervous, so a caring, home environment is what we were looking for. There was such peace of mind leaving our pet with Karisa. She even sent pictures so we could see how cozy Tilly was in their home and she was sent home with a “goodie bag” of homemade doggie treats! We highly recommend!!!”
“My two little ones were right at home with Heather. She has a welcoming environment and plenty of space for pups to run and play around in. I would highly recommend Heather and will definitely be using again!”
“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”
“April was very accommodating with our dog ! We scheduled a meet and greet and found time for me to do a trial boarding day before our week long vacation! We feel very safe with our senior dog under her care !”
“Jett’s home away from home! We love being able to drop Jett off and know he’ll be well taken care of! We really enjoy all the pictures, videos and updates each day!”
“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.”
“I am from out of town and had a wedding to attend and needed a local babysitter for my sweet poodle. Kristen has a great rating for a reason! She was super caring and is very experienced with watching pets. She sent us tons of updates and I felt completely comfortable. I will for sure use her again!”
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.
“Anne was just amazing. From letting us visit us beforehand and showing us how Sanji’s stay was going to be like to sending us pictures and updates multiple times a day, she went above and beyond. She was just a ray of light to us and Sanji. We had a worry free trip for the first time in a while, all thanks to Anne.”
“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”
“This was our first time taking our dogs to a sitter and Stephanie has set the bar high! She and her husband Chris made us feel comfortable immediately leaving Marley and Mack with them- especially over the holidays. Stephanie sent pictures and updates daily that we greatly appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again!”
“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”
“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!”

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Have been around cats my whole life. I’ve learned that cats sometimes want love and sometimes want distance. As long as their food and water bowls are full and their litter box is scooped, you’re good in their book! They’ll come get love if they want it.
“Anabela was at my house over the holidays and dropped in on my 3 cats twice a day. This was my first experience with Anabela and she was AMAZING!! I have OCD so I am very detailed about everything. She followed my instructions to a tee! She communicated effectively and provided great pictures. My cats loved her and so do I. I highly recommend Anabela for your pets.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, including my cat Hermione and my newer cat Luna. I’m responsible for their daily care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, and making sure they’re healthy and comfortable. I’m very patient and attentive, and I understand that every cat has a different personality. Cats are my favorite, and I treat every cat like my own.
“I cannot recommend Mariah highly enough! She watched my two cats for a week and I was genuinely blown away by the level of care, attention and kindness she provided. Throughout the week, I received thoughtful updates, adorable photos and little notes about how each cat was doing. The attention to detail settled a lot of my concerns while being away.”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with a genuine love for animals. I've spent summers working as a dedicated dog walker and have years of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family, so I'm confident in my ability to handle any pet care need. Your furry friends will receive personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment when they're with me. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time for hanging around with pups! I also attend my local community college part-time. I do have a different work schedule each week but I am more than willing to arrange a schedule for your pups needs! Whether I'm looking after your pets in my home or yours, my top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for them.

Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention are always on the agenda, and I'm quick to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs, providing personalized care that keeps them happy and secure.
“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 Alexis an avid dog lover. I have two pets of my own, and lots of experience with animals. I am pet first aid and CPR certified through Purdue university, I have 5+ years of dog training and behavior experience, and I also worked as a veterinary technician assistant for 1 year and gained valuable animal husbandry and care skills. I’d love to hangout with your pup! I run my own pet brand where I work from home so I am able to host dogs, or come visit your pup any day of the week and anytime. I can make my schedule fit with yours! I live in a good neighborhood where we can take leashed walks, or drive to a nearby park to play. I can crate dogs or let them free roam, I have two other dogs to keep your pets company or I have the ability to keep them seperate if that’s what’s needed. For in home visits I can do anything you require!
About: I stand out from other sitters because I bring a rare combination of veterinary training, hands‑on clinical experience, and a lifetime of caring for animals of all sizes. I’m currently a veterinary nursing student at Marian University Plymouth, graduating in August 2026, which means I approach every pet with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. Alongside my education, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in both large and small animal medicine, including at Crossroads Food Animals Veterinary Service, LLC and during my externship at the Emergency Veterinary Care Center in Summer 2025. These roles have given me extensive experience with senior pets, animals with medical needs, medication administration, safe animals handling and recognizing early signs of illness or stress — skills that most sitters don’t have. Beyond my clinical background, animals have been a central part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to shy or anxious pets. I also have a fountain in farm work which created a strong sense of responsibility and dedication. Your pets aren’t just watched — they’re cared for by someone who truly understands them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently completing my externships for my veterinary nursing program, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule. I work Monday through Thursday, with an hour break at 1 PM, so depending on your location I can stop by for mid‑day potty breaks during the week. I’m also able to provide a consistent, work‑style schedule, meaning I can visit in the mornings before work and be available again in the evenings for feeding, walks, or check‑ins. My weekends are even more open, allowing plenty of time for longer visits or extended care. Because of my profession and lifestyle, pet sitting fits seamlessly into my routine, and I make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps pets comfortable. I like too follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and bedtime habits — because familiar patterns help reduce stress. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance so they feel relaxed even when their family is away. My goal is to provide care that feels seamless, trustworthy, and grounded in both compassion and professional experience.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Grace! She took wonderful care of our dog Tilly while we were away for our engagement party. From the start, Grace was incredibly responsive and made sure she understood everything she needed to know about Tilly’s care. She checked in on her three times throughout the day and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos during each visit, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Tilly was comfortable and happy in her care. We’re so grateful for Grace’s reliability and attentiveness—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter!”
“Tonie was really responsive and sent a lot of photos of my cat while I was on vacation. I had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Will rebook 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: While I love all animals, cats hold a truly special place in my heart💛. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I know they need a very specific kind of care that goes way beyond just filling a bowl. I speak "fluent cat" and excel at reading their body language—knowing exactly when they want an enriching play session or when they just need some quiet company and space. From pristine litter boxes to respecting their unique boundaries, I treat your feline royalty with the specialized attention they deserve.
“Alicia was wonderful to work with. Gita absolutely loved her and Brad, and staying in their home for 10 days without ever feeling lonely gave me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Lyndsey did a great job with our dog, Daisy! The pictures she provided were super cute and it felt good to know that someone was watching her while I was at work and my husband was away. I will definitely re-book with her should we need doggy daycare in the future!”
“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: 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.
“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. My grandma raised and sold dachshunds for as long as I can remember. I helped her a lot growing up, from training them, feeding them, walking them etc. I have experience training puppies and also take care of elderly dogs. My dog I’ve had since my childhood turned 13 this year she’s super fragile and sweet. I have house sitted for friends and families over the years weather that was dogs or cats or all animals (I took care of horses too). I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, never met a dog I didn’t like. I make my own routine/schedule for work and so I can be pretty flexible as to when and how many times I see or walk your dog. I have a fenced in yard and about an acre of land for them to roam! We live in a good neighborhood and can take them for long walks around the lake! I can feed, walk, wash, train, and or play with your lovely dog◡̈
“This was my first time using Rover and it could not have gone any better! Agnatha was extremely responsive. She allowed us to do a meet and greet and also a short trial run before Bobby’s first day with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos for reassurance. Bobby was very comfortable at her house and did so well! Bobby loves her and I know she loves him! We will definitely be using Agnatha again!”

I am able to work with pets of all sizes as many of my friends and family have had me watch their pets while they were away.

About: Huge animal lover. I’ve worked all across the board in terms of pet care. I’ve worked at big name pet stores and veterinary hospitals. I’ve worked in grooming and board. I’ve worked on farms and ranches with all sorts of farm animals including horses and even cattle. I have experience with medicine administration and animal husbandry. Currently pursuing a degree in Conservation Biology and Ecology at ASU with hopes of a full time career with animals doing what I love. Rover helps make my dreams come true :) I am an online college student and do odd jobs around town like performing live music (I’m a singer/guitarist/songwriter) delivering food and cleaning houses and storage units, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am around animals all day from my own, to encounters with other pets and my parents own a farm that I assist with, as well. I do not offer my own home for pet services. I offer walking, pet sitting, check-ins, pet care services, etc. I can even offer grooming services for a fee
About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it.

I have flexible hours and can work around your schedule, anything you need I can do from dog baths to walks at the park. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I’m looking to go do more things with the kids this summer so we will be able to fit in daily walks or anything needed I live in a well apartment community, with a few dog parks within! I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

About: I have walked dogs for two years at a local animal shelter during college and loved giving the pups time out of their kennels for a change. I go above and beyond to ensure the dog is happy and to adapt to their unique walking styles. I graduated from Purdue University West Lafayette in May 2025 with degrees in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Sociology. I have sense then moved back home to Fort Wayne and looking to get into the animal care industry as well as build my skills with animal care, including volunteering with livestock and large animals such as horses. I am currently doing my residency for medical laboratory and I work part time as well, so my schedule is a bit tight but I have and will continue to always make something work and accommodate my clients and furry friends. I am very respectful of individuals and their spaces, and will ensure that I oblige by all your boundaries. I am willing to go above and beyond with any other quick tasks in your home.
About: Hi! I’m Alexis an avid dog lover. I have two pets of my own, and lots of experience with animals. I am pet first aid and CPR certified through Purdue university, I have 5+ years of dog training and behavior experience, and I also worked as a veterinary technician assistant for 1 year and gained valuable animal husbandry and care skills. I’d love to hangout with your pup! I run my own pet brand where I work from home so I am able to host dogs, or come visit your pup any day of the week and anytime. I can make my schedule fit with yours! I live in a good neighborhood where we can take leashed walks, or drive to a nearby park to play. I can crate dogs or let them free roam, I have two other dogs to keep your pets company or I have the ability to keep them seperate if that’s what’s needed. For in home visits I can do anything you require!
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.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8-9 years old. I grew up with dogs of all breeds, and dog sat for neighbors, and family members. I don't just watch dogs; I build trust with them. Take the time to learn each dog's personality, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm currently a stay-at-home dog mom who's working on building a coffee business/doggy daycare. I'm usually free from Monday-Friday, I'm flexible with scheduling! I can adapt to the environment around me, and work with how the pets are and what their routines are usually and allow the pets to feel comfortable with me.
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.

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.

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.
“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”
“This was our first time taking our dogs to a sitter and Stephanie has set the bar high! She and her husband Chris made us feel comfortable immediately leaving Marley and Mack with them- especially over the holidays. Stephanie sent pictures and updates daily that we greatly appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again!”
“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”
“Cassandra did a great job taking care of Banjo for two nights. Communication was excellent (photos and videos, along with messages about how he was doing), and Cassandra was willing to accommodate drop-off and pickup requests to fit my schedule for the weekend. I have always been apprehensive about boarding my dogs at a kennel if I have to go out of town for more than one night. Cassandra made Banjo feel at home and kept him in a normal, relaxed environment and routine.”
“Alexis is very professional and kind. Her communication is great. She puts in great effort to ensure safety, well being and happiness of animals. You can tell this is her passion. Felt very comfortable leaving my animal there and will rebook when needed.”
“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!”
“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”
“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.”
