“I was nervous about contacting a new sitter as my dog is very special in all of the best ways. But Azure was wonderful & my dog is still sleeping off all of the fun he had the 10 days he was with her. S/o to Rufus, the dog she brought over to keep my dog Apollo company, I think he found a new bestie. Highly recommended her as a sitter!!!”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“Anne was above and beyond what I was expecting and I am so pleased with the care my dog received. She has a lot of experience with senior dogs, is very knowledgeable about food and sensitive stomachs and all the quirks that come with a mature pup! She kept me updated with daily (or more) texts and pictures and let me know how my dog was doing with sleeping, eating, potty breaks and interacting with other dogs. Anne is such a kind soul and you can tell she absolutely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would definitely use Anne’s services again and would recommend her to others. ?”
“We had a last minute cancelation and Jocelyn was very accommodating. Our dogs got along fine with her two pups. I would recommend her and will use her again.”
“Our pups had so much fun with hers and we got some cute photos of their stay! Easy communication and nice to know there's always someone there with the pups.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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”
“Kristen was the perfect person to watch our pup! Maizi can definitely be a handful since she is still a puppy & Kristen did great with her, she was patient & so kind. She sent lots of pictures to keep us updated during our very busy week of getting married! When we went to pick up maizi I wasn’t sure if she wanted to come with us or stay with Kristen & her family! I would definitely recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“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!”
“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”
“They took such great care of our dog (Bear)! They took him for walks and took lots of pictures of him having fun with the other dogs and feeling right at home! I knew he was in good hands, and they will be keeping him again!”
“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”
“Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”
“Pen had the most wonderful two and a half weeks with Rebecca. He loves her so much I plan to set up some daycare visits just so he can spend time with his best pal. They went in walks and snuggled on the couch, she gave him lots of love and attention, he was always happy and well cared for. She sent updates and pictures every day so I could feel confident he was relaxed and happy. He even made friends with the people in her neighborhood! He’s a social butterfly and she knew I was okay with him saying hello. This was my first time leaving him for a long vacation and I was really nervous about how successful he would be, but he had the most wonderful time with Rebecca and I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing how happy my guy was.”
“We’re so grateful for the incredible care Emily and her family gave Onyx while we were away! This was our first time ever leaving him with someone else, and we were a little nervous, but her daily updates and photos truly made all the difference. He looked so relaxed and happy in every single one! Truly he was having a blast hanging with Emily’s pups, it was so comforting to know he was in good hands and company. Emily, thank you for treating him like one of your own, we came home to a very content pup! We’d absolutely love to book with you again next time we travel and for play dates! 🐾💛”
“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!!”

“Nervous about leaving our baby in the care of a stranger, I took comfort in reading other people’s reviews so I hope this helps. As a new transplant to Fort Wayne from Brooklyn New York, things are very different. Our 2 year old poodle isn’t use to the new routine or people yet and Tracy was patient, communicative and caring.

“I was nervous about contacting a new sitter as my dog is very special in all of the best ways. But Azure was wonderful & my dog is still sleeping off all of the fun he had the 10 days he was with her. S/o to Rufus, the dog she brought over to keep my dog Apollo company, I think he found a new bestie. Highly recommended her as a sitter!!!”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“We had a last minute cancelation and Jocelyn was very accommodating. Our dogs got along fine with her two pups. I would recommend her and will use her again.”
“Our pups had so much fun with hers and we got some cute photos of their stay! Easy communication and nice to know there's always someone there with the pups.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs/cats. I have been a dog groomer for close to three years but have recently decided to become a stay at home mom. I can’t imagine my life without dogs! I have one dog that is an Australian Shepard named Bryce he is 5 years old, neutered, and very friendly. We go on walks daily. We also love to play fetch. I can also offer Dog grooming or nail trim services upon request. I am currently a stay at home mom! I am home 24/7 and can let your pup outside as often as they need. I have a fenced in yard so they can roam around off leash, sniff around, and enjoy themselves. I currently have one dog named Bryce. He is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd. He is very friendly and LOVES to play. He loves cats and dog alike. We go on daily walks and play fetch everyday. I love all dogs from teacup puppies to great danes. I also have experience in grooming so If your doggy needs a bath/haircut/nail trim I could provide those services as well. I have a fenced in yard, but I always go outside with the doggies while I let them outside. My Fur baby Bryce is lovely companion and will keep your baby company. We do allow pups on our couch and bed so they can get the best snuggles and comfort while you are away.
“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!”
“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”
“They took such great care of our dog (Bear)! They took him for walks and took lots of pictures of him having fun with the other dogs and feeling right at home! I knew he was in good hands, and they will be keeping him again!”
“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”
“Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”
“Pen had the most wonderful two and a half weeks with Rebecca. He loves her so much I plan to set up some daycare visits just so he can spend time with his best pal. They went in walks and snuggled on the couch, she gave him lots of love and attention, he was always happy and well cared for. She sent updates and pictures every day so I could feel confident he was relaxed and happy. He even made friends with the people in her neighborhood! He’s a social butterfly and she knew I was okay with him saying hello. This was my first time leaving him for a long vacation and I was really nervous about how successful he would be, but he had the most wonderful time with Rebecca and I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing how happy my guy was.”
“We’re so grateful for the incredible care Emily and her family gave Onyx while we were away! This was our first time ever leaving him with someone else, and we were a little nervous, but her daily updates and photos truly made all the difference. He looked so relaxed and happy in every single one! Truly he was having a blast hanging with Emily’s pups, it was so comforting to know he was in good hands and company. Emily, thank you for treating him like one of your own, we came home to a very content pup! We’d absolutely love to book with you again next time we travel and for play dates! 🐾💛”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Amara was amazing with our active pup! She sent great photos and updates throughout the whole weekend. We felt like our pup was in great hands and she was great at communicating! Thanks Amara for taking care of Mila!”
“My dog Scarlett has a hard time being left at kennels and being around other dogs scares her sometimes. She felt very comfortable around Mindy and Carter when she spent a week with them and gave us piece of mind also. She also looked to love their big yard too.”
