“She asked a lot of questions and was very thorough. My dog enjoyed her stay and j felt very comfortable leaving her there after stopping in for a couple minutes! Highly recommend Azure to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Anne was a fantastic sitter. I got lots of pictures and updates about my senior dog. You can tell she takes good care of your dog. His meds were given and he looks very well-fed. She worked w my schedule and was very accommodating. Might need to plan more trips. Thank you Anne!”
“Natalie was great, she recommended a meet n greet the day before so Bucky could meet her and her dogs. Bucky has a great time for the week we were gone and Natalie provided pics and videos almost every day. Bucky was exhausted when he got home. It was a pleasant experience.”
“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.”
“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”

“Kristen was so fantastic. She won over Asta’s heart and treated him with such great care. He looked extremely happy in all the pictures she sent which was daily. I love being able to trust someone like Kristen with our pup.”
“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!”
“April and her family were great hosts for our dog. Finn got much attention. I appreciated the photos April sent as well. I knew Finn was in good hands. Thanks.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Very highly recommended. I had to take my 11 yr old, 60 lb lab mix to the ER vet on the morning before we were leaving him with Evan. She was very accommodating, administered his medication perfectly, sent daily updates with photos, and provided additional relief and care for our dog that I wouldn’t have expected anyone boarding him to do. She was very compassionate and clearly my dog enjoyed staying with her and her family. I would definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Joscelyn was amazing with my pup. I had my original sitter drop out the day of. She accepted my request very last minute! She is great with communication. Everytime I visit my hometown I will def contact her!”

“I loved that Heather came to meet Farah and I. I could tell right away she was caring and very patient. Our cat sitter couldn't come to check in on Farah while we were on vacation due to unexpected health decline. Heather was willing to with very little notice. We were gone for 13 days and had Heather do a drop in for 11 days. Farah requires eye cleaning just about every day and is super picky about how clean her litter box is. She also hates getting her eyes cleaned and Heather did such a great job with her eye care. She made sure she had clean water each day too. Heather did the best job!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl!!”
“Tracy did a very efficient job in caring for our two felines! He did the things we asked of him in managing their care and he sent us pics each time he visited. Thank you so much Tracy!”
About: I've only had a cat for a year now, but I take care of him when my roommate needs assistance. I have fed, watered, cleaned his litter box, and played with him while she is gone. I also have learned the body language of cats. Most cats have liked me when I was growing up and I would say I am a pretty patient person, so I don't get upset if they don't initially like me either.
“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.”
“Take it from someone who has NEVER used Rover or a sitting service before . . . Paris was such a blessing over the holidays and I would not hesitate one moment to hire her again! From her 3-4 photos ta day, to her detailed and humorous messages, Paris will not only keep you thoroughly updated but the sense of relief she will provide you is simply priceless! Thank you so much Paris for being the ultimate "Kitty Whisperer" and for taking such good care of our sweet girl.”
“Amara was amazing! Even got my reclusive cat Soeren to come out for treats. Lily, of course, was her usual extroverted self and came out for lovies. So sad we only got to try her services once, but we will definitely recommend her to friends.”
“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 had many cats throughout my childhood and have a sweet cat currently. I have friends and neighbors who have cats and I make drop in visits for feeding and cleaning litter boxes and stay for a bit to play and hang out with them. I can stay at houses when needed to care for the cats.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. Growing up we had multiple animals in our household and also pet sit as needed. I’ve taken care of friends pets whether they just need fed, let out, or just need company for a bit. I am currently available any time during the week. I can walk or even play with any dogs for them to get some energy out during the day I currently have 2 dogs and have a fenced in yard. I take my pups on walks and play with them all the time, whether it be fetch or hide and seek. They get plenty of love and treats and are the most spoiled
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different cats since I was a kid. My friends and neighbors relied on me to feed and play with their cats as well as keep their litter boxes clean when they went out of town. I love all cats whether they are super affectionate or just don’t care.
“Rachel was very accommodating with our last minute drop in request for our two cats. She made sure they both got attention and play time beyond just feeding them and made sure to ask any questions she had. We will definitely reach out again in the future. Thanks Rachel!”

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.

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.
“Paris was wonderful and took excellent care of our lil gremlins while we were on vacation! We will definitely be calling her in the future anytime we need someone to look after our boys!”
“Tracy walked my dogs daily for three years and even when he was in the hospital he got someone to cover for him. He took extra special care of my boys and I dread moving to a new city and trying to find someone that comes even close to his level of caring and expertise. Hes the best there is in the area. Try him and you'll never go anywhere else.”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. My family has involved me in the care of all of our family pets, including dogs of multiple sizes and multiple cats. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats together. Additionally, I have experience caring for aquatic tanks and animals. I have owned tanks with betta fish for 5 years. I currently have two rescue cats of my own and am caring for my family’s beloved senior dog, an English Springer Spaniel. I aim to provide excellent pet care and friendly service to all pet families. I am a recent college graduate looking to establish pet sitting clients while I work on personal writing projects. I have very open availability at this time and am willing to work with clients to establish regular times for care. I will take care of your animals according to your specifications. I have supplies including extra leashes and waste bags if needed for care. I can either walk your animal right outside your home or transport them to my neighborhood for walks if needed.
“First time Rover user here. Evan was great for our 1 year old dog Bingo. She was quick to respond and understood exactly what we needed. She stopped by the day before for a quick meeting and then sent pictures when the walk was over. We will use her services again. Highly recommend.”

I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. In both my home and clients' homes, I ensure pets are well-supervised, loved, and in a secure space.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ dogs since I was a kid. I have worked with anxious older dogs, puppies and high energy breeds. I am also comfortable giving medication. I’m a runner who loves the outdoors so a walk or run with your dogs sounds like a great summer day. I’m currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets! I’m a runner and love everything outside so a walk or run with your dog sounds like a great way to spend my afternoons! I don’t have any other pets at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but can keep them on a long leash if that is necessary. I only work for a few hours a day so your dog will spend most of it’s time with me.

“Ronica did an amazing job caring for our dog, Leia, while we were out of town for a week. From the first meet and greet we knew she would be the perfect fit.

“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.

“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”

“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!”
“April and her family were great hosts for our dog. Finn got much attention. I appreciated the photos April sent as well. I knew Finn was in good hands. Thanks.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“Joscelyn was amazing with my pup. I had my original sitter drop out the day of. She accepted my request very last minute! She is great with communication. Everytime I visit my hometown I will def contact her!”
“Stephanie was beyond phenomenal, it was my second time using her services and you couldn’t ask for anyone more caring and thoughtful, I traveled overseas and always gave me options for updates incase I didn’t have service. She also got my baby a birthday treat and made sure to love my babies like her own. From the bottom of my heart thank you for keeping them safe, loved, and happy”
“Lyndsey overshot all my expectations. She took such good care of our senior dog. She sent pictures and the run-down of her day including her medication administration. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Jennifer was amazing with our two dogs! She really cares about dogs and did a wonderful job keeping our pups safe and happy! She sent updates and pictures throughout the day which I loved! 10/10! I definitely recommend and would rebook again!”
“Omg Anne was simply amazing and super easy to work with. She was able to accommodate me while my plans changed and allowed me to be able to put my mind at ease knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of. I will be using her on an ongoing basis and I strongly recommend her to care for your pets any day of the week. I appreciate this app so much!!”
