“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.”
“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! 🤗💕”
“Azure was very professional and understanding. I had a few hiccups and made a few mistakes using Rover for the first time. She was very understanding and helpful, and accommodating. Highly recommend. Some things came up and we had to extend our dogs stay. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks Azure!”
“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!”
“Natalie is wonderful! Cola had the best time playing catch with her dogs and cooling off in the pool. Natalie sent updates throughout the weekend as well!”
“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.”
“It was nice working with Heather, she was able to fit Theo in last minute and he had a good time! She had great communication and I appreciate that we got to do a meet and greet ahead of his stay!”
“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!”
“I'm so glad we found Karisa and her family. We were looking for someone to take care of our dog, Trooper, while we were out of town. We boarded him with Karisa and everything was great. We received messages all week long with pictures, and we could tell Trooper had a great time. We will definitely plan on boarding Trooper with Karisa in the future.”
“It was such a blessing to find Anne because I needed to leave my Lady for the first time for 2 weeks . It would be stressful for my dog to travel abroad on a very long trip. So as soon as I met Anne I knew it would be her I would choose to take care of Lady. I was so happy and delighted during these days . Every day I received pictures and updates about her. I saw Lady was fine and very well taken care of.I strongly recommend Anne she made my trip so peaceful and enjoyable. ❤️”
“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 !”
“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.”
“Kristin is wonderful and our Australian shepherd Reggie loves going there. He gets to interact and play with other dogs, go on walks, and be well loved. This is our first time using Rover for a pet and now I compare all others to Kristin. Wouldn’t hesitate at all to book her.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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”
“Agnatha is so wonderful. This was our first time leaving our dog alone over night, and I think we were way more nervous about it than he was. Agnatha kept us updated with messages and photos and seems like the stay could not have gone better. We will definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
“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: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I currently share my home with four cats and have experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and care needs. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I’ll make sure they receive patient, attentive care while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications and keeping an eye on any health or behavioral concerns. I also welcome small dogs and am committed to providing dependable care and regular updates so you know your pets are safe and happy.
“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.”
“Andrea was great. She kept me updated and informed, spent plenty of time playing and loving on my 2 cats. It gave me peace of mind having Andrea check in on my fur babies while I was away.”
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: 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.
“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”
About: Since I was a child I have been around dogs and cats. They are always part of the family not just a pet. All pets will be treated like they are my own and I will give them love and attention. I currently have 3 small dogs that I have raised since puppies. I also have experience with walking and sitting large dogs for family. Whether they are puppies/kittens or senior cats/dogs I will take care of them and treat them with love and care. My days are usually split up between myself and my wife taking care of our dogs. We keep them on a schedule with feedings and trying to take them out as much as possible. I am always willing to walk dogs and keep any routine or schedule needed for them. Taking care of dogs is a daily routine for me. I have 3 dachshund that I split time with my wife taking care of them. We love to take them outside and either play with them or go for walks. They are like children to us and will always see them that way. Keeping up feeding schedules and potty time is always a must to keep them full and happy.
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.
“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!”
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.
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. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medications, ensuring their routine stays consistent. 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.
“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 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.
“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.”
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 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: 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 need just as much exercise as your dogs do during the workday, so I'm more than happy to take the time to love on your pets. I need lots of fresh air to keep my mind moving, so I am always happy to step out of my office in the early/late morning and into the afternoon. I keep a short leash on the pets in my care and will pick up after them 100% of the time. I will happily use whatever commands you use to help leash-train as well. I almost exclusively walk on paved paths to avoid unfamiliar smells/ poisonous plants and fungus.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable taking care of them. I’ve helped friends and family with their pets, including feeding, walking, and just giving them attention. I’m patient, reliable, and will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time. I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For the rest of the week, I have a flexible schedule and can visit at times that work best for you. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very respectful of your space and will keep everything clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my five years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I have worked with everything from energetic puppies, who require lots of playtime and consistency, to senior dogs who need patient, gentle care and a predictable routine. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn every pet's unique personality and tailor their care to meet their specific needs. I am currently a college student in South Bend, IN, and I am available to provide both dog sitting & house sitting services. I have experience caring for pets and maintaining a safe, clean home environment, and I am happy to accommodate your pet's routine, energy level, and specific needs. If you're traveling for the holidays or simply need an extra hand, I would love to help ensure your pets and home are well cared for. In your home, I care for your pets the same way I care for my own, by following their normal routine, giving them lots of love, and making sure they feel safe in their familiar space. I stick closely to your feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I am attentive to any special needs or instructions you share. I keep your home clean, respectful, and secure. I am happy to help with small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable while you're apart.
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized and loving care for each pet. Every pet has unique needs & preferences, and I tailor my services to ensure their comfort and happiness. My clients appreciate my reliability and attention to detail. Working from home allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my daily routine, ensuring your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding or medication schedules. While caring for pets in my clients homes’, I prioritize creating a comfortable environment. I follow the specific routines and instructions provided by the owners to ensure consistency and reduce any stress for the pets.
About: I have grown up on a farm all my life caring for dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. I showed competitively in 4H, so providing good quality care is very important to me. I work full time Monday to Thursday in the medical field, so I’m available all day Friday-Sunday to take care of any needs or pet care. I have one dog of my own, a border collie named Ryder. I have a very large yard for plenty of space to run and crate if needed.
About: I've raised cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I currently have a two year old golden retriever named Biscuit, who loves all other animals! I'll take the absolute best care of any of your pets. I teach high school, so I'm currently on summer vacation! I'm available at almost all times of day to take care of your pet, in any way you need. I have a fenced in yard, a little doggie pool, and plenty of toys and treats! Plus, my pup takes daily allergy meds, and I'm very comfortable taking care of any medical or training needs. I want to love and take care of your pet like they're my own!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child and can’t imagine my life without pets. I’ve got friends and neighbors who rely on me to visit, feed, play and stay for overnights or vacations with their pets. Would love to help others with their pet needs! I’m currently open for clients and their needs whenever needed. I have an open schedule and am ready to work with anyone on helping with their pets. Whether drop in visits or staying over at friends/neighbors houses I follow any guidelines given by the pet owners. I’m very trustworthy and do what I can to ensure the pets stay safe under my care.

“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.”
“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! 🤗💕”
“Azure was very professional and understanding. I had a few hiccups and made a few mistakes using Rover for the first time. She was very understanding and helpful, and accommodating. Highly recommend. Some things came up and we had to extend our dogs stay. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks Azure!”
“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!”
“Natalie is wonderful! Cola had the best time playing catch with her dogs and cooling off in the pool. Natalie sent updates throughout the weekend as well!”
“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.”
“It was nice working with Heather, she was able to fit Theo in last minute and he had a good time! She had great communication and I appreciate that we got to do a meet and greet ahead of his stay!”
“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 !”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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”
“Agnatha is so wonderful. This was our first time leaving our dog alone over night, and I think we were way more nervous about it than he was. Agnatha kept us updated with messages and photos and seems like the stay could not have gone better. We will definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
“My boxer pup, Jax stayed with Sara for a week and I can’t be more happier that I chose her. Sara was attentive, accommodating and most of all so loving to Jax. I could not recommend anyone better…..bonus that she has pups of her own so she is very aware of the pups needs. Thank you Sara!”
“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!”

All dogs are welcome small, big, young, old, friendly, and we are also capable of caring for aggressive dogs.
