“Natalie did an amazing job with our dogs! She was very attentive and sent updates during their stay. I would trust her to be my dogs’ home away from home again.”
“Thank you for taking great care of our birdie girl! She had so much fun making friends and loved all the extra snuggles! We can't wait to boom with you again! 🤗💕”
“I have never left my dogs before and was very nervous about it. But Stephanie was amazing!!! She sent me pictures and updated me and I never felt more comfortable while on vacation. She’s truly a gem and animal lover. I would 100% recommend.”
“Wai was amazing! She took a lot of care to ask lots of questions to best accommodate our dog, sent us daily updates and photos, and far exceeded what was expected! I will be using her from now on”
“My pup slept all night after I got her back so I know she had fun playing with the other pups. Good contact during the stay with photos. Happy with my visit and last minute availability.”
“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.”
“Rebecca is fantastic. My doggo loves hanging out with her. She gives him lots of walks, attention, and hang time, while following our outline for his specific needs. He’s very calm and happy with her.”
“I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional care my dog received from Anne over the 10 days I was away. She was incredibly attentive and ensured my furry friend felt loved and well-cared for the entire time. Her communication was outstanding; she provided regular updates and was always open and responsive to any questions I had. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”
“Another job well done by Alexis! Wrigley loves to come see her! She even went above and beyond and got our dog her own little toy while we were gone for a week. They take Wrigley on walks and send daily updates. We love that she is loved on and played with while we’re away. Thank you! Highly recommend her!”
“I was so nervous to find a caregiver for our Zoey. The reason is Zoey is a 3 year old epileptic boxer. Even though her seizures are controlled I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone to keep her overnight and be responsible for her medication. Then I found Jennifer on Rover. I set up a meet and greet and I just knew Jennifer was ready for the challenge. We set up an overnight stay while my husband and I had to be out of town. Jennifer sent so many pictures and updates. It was wonderful!! Zoey was in great hands and received amazing care. We are so thankful for her love of animals and for the more “needy” animals. Jennifer was a rockstar!!”
“Melissa took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the weekend! She was easy to communicate with, flexible with drop off and pick up times, and sent update pictures every day. They had a great stay!”
“Emily and her family seemed to be very in tuned to my dog. I liked the backyard where she could just roam. The family was friendly and helpful.”
“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!”
“Agnatha was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her really quickly and had a wonderful time with her. She sent me many pictures to show how they were doing and was communicative about what they were doing and how they were eating and such. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you, Agnatha!!”
“Kristen is awesome!! I’ve left my dogs with her several times now and it’s so nice to be able to travel without worrying about how my pets are doing. She sends lots of pictures/updates and I always know my dogs are in good hands. She is incredibly kind and sweet! Best pet sitter ever!”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”
About: Hello fellow dog owners! My name is Kevin and I am a fun, loving dog person! My partner and I are new to Fort Wayne, recently moving here from Anchorage, Alaska (yes, we drove!). With a 14 year old senior pooch of my own, I understand the incredible bond we have with our beloved friends. I have had Brita since she was 2 months old, and now that she is a subtle senior, her and I have built a friendship that is forever lasting. Having to leave your best friend at home alone is one of the greatest fears and anxieties a pet owner could imagine! That is why I want to help out other dog owners and make sure your fur-baby is well taken care of and provided for, so you can feel stress free. Having a pet of my own has really built up a trust of my circle around me. Friends and family members feel comfortable asking me to watch their animal from time to time, which is a very rewarding feeling. With me your pooch will have plenty of play time, walks and many belly rubs! UPDATE: My partner and I recently adopted a 4-month-old Beagle puppy named Juno! My amazing senior dog, Brita (my trusty co-pilot), has completely embraced her role as big sister and is already helping teach Juno the house rules. Welcoming a new puppy into our home has brought back so many great memories from when Brita was little, while also giving me hands-on experience with puppy training all over again. It's been a wonderful reminder of the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement that help young dogs thrive! Whether you have an energetic new puppy or a sweet senior dog, I'm confident I can provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My experience caring for both a senior dog and a growing puppy has given me a deeper understanding of how to meet dogs where they are at every stage of life :) I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! I am available during the week and most weekends. When I am at a clients home, I make sure I ask all the necessary questions, and follow their detailed instructions for their pet. I care for them the same way I would at my house. All the attention! Having used Rover for my own dog, I am the type of person that needs reassurance that my pet is okay. I will send you all of the photos, videos and texts that will keep your mind calm. It is a huge safety factor for me to know my animal is being taken care of.

“Edmy is AMAZING! We love her! We have booked Edmy for the past three years. She is very kind to our cat, Sheldon Cooper. She feeds him as scheduled. She will brush him, play with him, scoop the cat box and clean up any, “presents,” he leaves outside of the litterbox. She is a very good communicator. We get to see pictures every time she visits, which puts our minds at ease.”
“Tracy was amazing! We had a little mix up with the house key when he went to drop in on our cats, but he reassured me and we were able to quickly resolve things. He was very responsive and kind, and we’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
“Jennifer did an excellent job taking care of my cat, Zora. It was my first time leaving Zora with someone else, and I am grateful to have found Jennifer. She provided frequent updates and photos, which reassured me that Zora was in good hands and doing well. Thank you, Jennifer!”
About: I grew up in a loving cat only household so I’m used to how these sweet but independent creatures work!

I’ve done tasks such as cleaning litter and vacuuming, feeding, administering medication (orally and transdermally), bathing, and of course having some good playtime with the cats!

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.
“How can I say enough about Clint & Leah? Took a peak at Rover.com at the recommendation of an animal loving friend. Read the profiles. How can you decide who to invite into your mother’s senior living residence to care for her cat for two weeks based on a brief description???? Prayed abt it for awhile and reached out to Clint and Leah. Texted them, believe we spoke on the phone before their initial “meet and greet visit.” (No charge btw). They are a delightful couple, involved in ministry to people and critters! They took on the challenge of caring for our somewhat grumpy cat Mittens. Besides their daily visits to feed and water our cat, the brought in the mail & newspaper, watered the plants, took them out for a sunbath on a warm day, then brought them in from the cold another, played with Mittens, brought my attention to some health concerns, emptied her litter box, swept floor, even brought Mittens her favorite treats, needed hair ball medicine, and a new toy! They visited daily, sending pics and notes abt their visits. When the contracted time was up, the made an extra visit (also non-paid) to return the keys. The peace of mind they gave me was a blessing! If anyone needs a pet sitter for their pet, please don’t be afraid to call on Clint and Leah. They are awesome caretakers. Took a risk on the unknown and Mittens won!”
“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”
About: Hello! I’ve had cats all my life. So I am very familiar with their temperaments, habits and their needs. I can even bathe them without anyone getting hurt! I’m also known to nurse a sick cat back to good health. Let me know if you need someone to drop in and care for your kitty in need. I’m honest and trustworthy and will always care for your pets with respect, care and consideration.
“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 !!!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I could remember, I personally have a dog named Baxter that I have taken care of sense I was 14 years old.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Curdes Homewood
“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”.

“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!”

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.

Even though her seizures are controlled I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone to keep her overnight and be responsible for her medication. Then I found Jennifer on Rover. I set up a meet and greet and I just knew Jennifer was ready for the challenge. We set up an overnight stay while my husband and I had to be out of town. Jennifer sent so many pictures and updates. It was wonderful!! Zoey was in great hands and received amazing care. We are so thankful for her love of animals and for the more “needy” animals. Jennifer was a rockstar!!”
“Melissa took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the weekend! She was easy to communicate with, flexible with drop off and pick up times, and sent update pictures every day. They had a great stay!”
“Emily and her family seemed to be very in tuned to my dog. I liked the backyard where she could just roam. The family was friendly and helpful.”
“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!”
“Agnatha was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her really quickly and had a wonderful time with her. She sent me many pictures to show how they were doing and was communicative about what they were doing and how they were eating and such. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you, Agnatha!!”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”
“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 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”
“Tiffney was very flexible about our arrival time when we were very delayed and I really appreciate that. She made a very good connection with our dog right away, and sent us daily updates.”
“Heather took excellent care of our two dogs. It was their first night away from home and they were relaxed and happy when we came to pick them up. We’ve already booked their next stay with her. I’m happy to recommend her services!”
“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.”
