“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!”
“Evan and her family were perfect for for Peyton who is an Australian Shepherd. She exercised her, made sure she was very comfortable, provided updates on everything from daily activities to how well she was eating, and reassurance every day that Peyton was doing well and in good hands. Her kids and dogs played great with her too! I would definitely recommend letting Evan care for your dog as well!”
“OUTSTANDING! Provided dailey upsates and pictures. Great communication. Natalie has a great setting for dogs with a large backyard enclosed with a high wooden fence. I would without reservation recommend Natalie to care for your dog. She will undoubtedly be the first one I will call if needed in the future.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“Theo loved staying with Alicia. She sent lots of pictures of him playing & going on walks, and was great at keeping in touch to let me know my pupper was having a good time! I will definitely use her again! 🐶💙”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kristen is amazing. Kristen provided such great care for my 8 week old Shih Poo. I had only received River seven days prior to having to board him. I had surgery and had no choice. It was a hard decision but I am glad I was led to Kristen. She made me feel at ease with my decision. She also provide me several daily updates and photos of River. As needed, I will rebook with Kristen for any occasion.”
“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.”
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.
“Lyndsey is AMAZING! Very affordable and sent daily messages for an update while I was away from my fur baby. Her and her family loved my pup as their own and I would recommend her services to EVERYONE. Will def be using her again for future vacations.”

“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!!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
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.
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.
“Amara did a wonderful job caring for Cora while I was away. Instructions were followed (food and litter box specifically) and lots of pictures were sent. Thank you!”
“Samantha was an excellent cat sitter, she took great care of my cat and noticed likes and dislikes I hadn’t mentioned. Fast and thorough communication too, would gladly hire her again!”
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.
“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 have taken care of + currently care for dogs of all kinds of breeds + personalities through out my life. I grew up with German shepherds and Yorkshire terriers in my childhood, but have since taken care of and loved many other breeds. Throughout my life I have been reliable to friends, family members, friends of family, and neighbors, to look after + love on their pets. I get to help someone AND enjoy myself at the same time. Currently accepting new clients 🐾 I work very part time hours as a fitness trainer and work from home the other part of the time so I have very flexible days. Weekends are usually wide open as well I do not have a fenced yard, however I am more than happy to keep company while we spend time outdoors. I also have tie outs for those who have flight risk babies. I have 3 large yards so there is plenty of room for fun. I live right across from the Indian Park trails, VanHoozen park, + the environmental area that are perfect for walks! I can crate if needed. I have a four seasons sunroom that I can utilize as a personal space as well. Otherwise, everyone has the luxury of snuggling + dog piling in my Cali king
About: I’ve had 4 family dogs, not going a day without a pet in my life! I have cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets. I miss my puppies when I’m away at college, and want to provide love and care for pets while I’m here! I am a full time student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule outside of my classes! I am available both during the week and on weekends I cannot take pets to my house at this time due to liability reason, but I have a beautiful college campus to walk them around!

During the school year we lose family pet minders during the school day but are available after school and on weekends. We have experience letting ourselves into owners’ homes while they are away to feed, walk, and let pets out for bathroom breaks. We also have a large fenced in yard occupied by our very friendly golden retriever to share with dogs who will treat him well.
About: I have experience in caring for senior and disabled dogs, especially blind ones. I have also reared and house trained two puppies to adulthood and are still with my family to this day. They can walk unleashed (I would never do this with a dog that is not mine!) and even know protective commands. I am currently homebound so you furbaby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby and would enjoy a companion to walk with. I always have leashes and body vest on the door at the ready for any potty breaks and walks, no fence no problem. Stairs and basements will be blocked off all times to ensure safety and rooms will always remain closed. For house guests, we have an end table crate to ensure visibility when I am just resting. There is a regular metal crate and a spare room dedicated to any overwhelmed doggy.
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.
About: Growing up I’ve always had a love for animals. We had a range of different pets, you ask and I probably had one! I have worked a few years in a grooming salon.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities.

I have a flexible schedule, an active lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently finishing my Pilates training hours over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care.

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.

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.”

“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. She was professional and her communication was excellent. A bonus for us: she was less than a mile away. We look forward to being repeat customers!”

She always sticks to the time booked and I trust her to take Jasper on a thorough walk when we can't... will definately use Grace in the future :)”
About: I will play with your pups! I am used to caring for yorkies, shelties, and small labs as these were the dogs I was around growing up. I now have 4 Chihuahuas, I love them! They have taught me a lot about separation anxiety and I understand how serious it is. I would love to help your pets get through those long days. I love all dogs, playful, bouncy, and shy. I am used to feeding dogs special foods that they typically eat and am always open to spoiling them the same way you do! My availability varies. I am currently a stay at home mom which allows me to do drop ins or dog walks. Message me with any questions! Thank you for considering me! I'm currently a stay at home mom so doggy day in my home is ideal to give your pup love and attention! I am typically in town during holidays. I spend time playing with them, walking them, and giving them love (or space if that's what they prefer). I will feed your dog, make sure (s)he has water, or give your dog treats and rub their tummy. Whatever you prefer, I can do that!

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.
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.

“OUTSTANDING! Provided dailey upsates and pictures. Great communication. Natalie has a great setting for dogs with a large backyard enclosed with a high wooden fence. I would without reservation recommend Natalie to care for your dog. She will undoubtedly be the first one I will call if needed in the future.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“Theo loved staying with Alicia. She sent lots of pictures of him playing & going on walks, and was great at keeping in touch to let me know my pupper was having a good time! I will definitely use her again! 🐶💙”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lyndsey is AMAZING! Very affordable and sent daily messages for an update while I was away from my fur baby. Her and her family loved my pup as their own and I would recommend her services to EVERYONE. Will def be using her again for future vacations.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gus had a wonderful time with Joscelyn and her family. I think he really missed his dog playmates when he got home. I would definitely recommend Joscelyn to take care of your dog.”
“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!!”
“Sara did an excellent job communicating and working with our hectic schedule. Our roadtrip included major vehicle repairs, and thankfully Sara was super flexible. We highly recommend her care for dogs.”
