“Allison and Nicholas were a life saver…I needed help last minute for our dog and they gladly helped us. My dog was so comfortable he didn’t even want to leave when we came to get him lol. They are the perfect couple to keep your pup if needed and I’ll definitely contact them again. 🥰🥰💜💜”

“I had a trip I had my usual sitter unable to watch my Great Dane with very short notice. Natalie responded quickly and eased my worries about finding someone to watch my girl. When I arrived she was welcoming and Lucy warmed up to her quickly. I got pictures during the stay showing Lucy was doing well and having a good time. I will definitely use Natalie again for boarding services!”

“Heather was awesome! She took great care of Leo and was quick in communicating. We would definitely rebook and would recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming place for your pup! Thank you!”

“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!”

“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”

“Lindsey and her family were great. She was very attentive to our dogs needs. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and would love to do it again during future vacations. This is the first time using any boarding service and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you Lindsey”

“I had such an amazing experience! Mitchel went above and beyond while watching my dog. He sent daily videos and pictures, kept me updated the whole time, and made me feel so at ease while I was away. My dog looked so happy and comfortable in every update, and when I picked her up, she was clearly well taken care of and in great spirits! I could tell she had the best time. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend!”

“Anne took care of my dog Minerva who is a more reserved and shy whippet. Anne spoiled her rotten. Usually when I leave Minerva she does not eat very well but Anne had her eating anll her food and cuddling with her on the couch the whole time! Thank you Anne!”

“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!”

“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”

“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”

“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!”

“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
“She is the best. She made my puppy feel at home and she had a good time at her home. She will send you daily updates which was good too. I would definitely use her services again”
“Joscelyn and her family took such good care of Willow! My husband and I had no worries whatsoever about her staying with them and felt we could fully relax while we were away. I honestly think our dog had more fun with them playing with their dog than at our house 😂. We WILL be taking Willow over again when we have to be out of town.”

“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.”

About: Hi I am Stephanie. I am a life long dog owner and lover of all animals. I currently have a Cavapoo named Sophie who is my little ball of attitude. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, labs, cocker spaniel, doodles, German shepherds,and French Bulldogs. I am willing to watch in your home as my girl isn't fond of guests. I work full time but depending on the area of town I am available for midday walks and care as well more and evening. I would love to provide amazing care for your pup while you enjoy a relaxing vacation or are out of town for any reason. I currently work full time on the north side of town but am located in New Haven in. I get 1 hr for lunch and if you are located huntertown or in this area I can definitely do midday walks and cuddles. Walks, let on lead, electric fence or anyway you prefer your pets to do their business. Feeding, playing and of course cuddles to begin and end the day.

“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!”


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 cared for dogs my whole life, from helping with my grandma’s pup to raising my own three miniature dachshunds. My childhood dog, a white Lab-Husky mix, sparked my lifelong love for animals. With years of hands-on experience, I treat every pet like family. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m always up early to let the dogs run around the back yard. Walks, playtime, and cuddles with my own dogs is so important. So adding another furry friend is easy. I love keeping them happy, comfy, and feeling at home. Our dogs have a huge fenced in yard with toys everywhere. In the summers they love swimming and being outside. I have 3 dogs so walks are always interesting but since they have been getting bigger they are understanding better.

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.”

I have extensive experience with dogs that suffer from anxiety and separation issues, and am able to work with your dog with proven techniques to hopefully make their time with me not be so nerve racking! Plus, I have a big soft spot for senior pets and those with disabilities, and know just how to give them the extra love and care they need. Why Me? Puppy Training: From sit and stay to more advanced tricks, I’ll tailor the training to fit your pup’s personality. Senior Pet Care: Your older pets will get all the attention and comfort they deserve. Animal Lover Extraordinaire: I genuinely love all animals and will treat your pets like my own. Extensive experience with our furry friends who suffer from separation anxiety, behavior issues, as well as helping animals with disabilities Reach out today and let’s chat about how I can help your pets have an amazing time away, or learn some new skills while we spend time together. Thank you! I work a full-time job during the week on the morning shift, though i have very flexible hours and will never let my animals go more than 4 hours without a potty break. If morr frequent breaks are needed then that can also be accomodated. No matter where the care takes place, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I adapt my methods to suit each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they get the best possible care. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe and controlled environment where puppies receive one-on-one attention, focusing on obedience, potty training, and behavioral issues, along with plenty of playtime and socialization. For elderly pets, I ensure a calm and comfortable space, offering gentle exercise, regular health checks, and lots of cuddles to make them feel loved and secure. In your home, I tailor my approach to suit your pet’s familiar surroundings. For puppies, I conduct training sessions in their usual environment, helping them learn commands and good behavior where they spend most of their time. For senior pets, I offer personalized in-home visits, providing feeding, medication administration, gentle walks, and companionship to keep them happy and healthy.
About: I'm extremely patient with any dog. I always make sure they fell comfortable around me before I do anything! I am a strong walker! I also know how to make the most out of any time spent with a dog! Pet care is my number one priority for an animal I take care of! I will always make sure that the animal is the top priority when we go anywhere. I always put the dogs safety before my own. I will watch for other dogs and loose animals when we go on walks. When sitting in the past I let the parent know of the times I let the dog out or do anything with the animal. I will send many cute pictures for updates of what is going on!

About: What distinguishes me from other pet sitters is my six years of hands-on experience providing dedicated care specifically for cats, combined with a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet sitting. I understand that cats require patience, consistency, and respect for their individual personalities and routines, and I take the time to tailor my care to each cat’s unique needs. From administering basic care and maintaining clean, comfortable environments to recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health, I prioritize both physical well-being and emotional comfort. My commitment to reliability, clear communication, and compassionate care allows cat owners to feel confident that their pets are not only being looked after, but genuinely understood and well cared for in their absence.
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.
“My 2 cats were nervous and hid under the bed when she came to visit. She worked with them and spent time earning their trust. She sent pictures each day. and her communication relieved much stress from leaving my cats for a week.”

About: Our family has taken care of friends’ dogs and cats for four years or more. We are now offering our pet services to more ‘07 neighbors. During summers we are available at all waking hours of any days we’re not on a family vacation. 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 caring for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to senior and those with special needs. I previously had a small blind incontinent senior terrier who has since gone over the rainbow bridge, so I understand the extra patience and attention required to make them feel comfortable. I have also raised and house-trained two puppies into adulthood, who are still with my family today! One of them is a unique mix of Belgian Malinois, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, and Rottweiler (Try saying that five times fast!). We had his DNA tested, so we can now confidently confirm his impressive mutt status. His high energy and intelligence required consistent training and socialization. After raising him, it's safe to say that I'm comfortable with puppy routines, basic obedience training, and how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs. What sets me apart is that I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality and comfort level so they receive the best care that fits their individual needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a gentle senior, I will provide the best and reliable care while you are away. I am currently homebound so your fur baby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby so having a temporary walking companion would be great therapy! In my home, your dog will be family. I follow each dog's routine, including feedings times/medications, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. I keep leashes and harnesses ready by the door so dogs are always secured before any potty breaks or walk. If a dog wants to just sunbathe outside, I also have a stake and tie out, so no fence, no problem! To help prevent accidents, stairs and basement access are blocked off at all times, and rooms remain closed. All interactions between dogs will be supervised and there will never be any forced introductions. If a dog needs time to decompress or prefers their own space, I have multiple safe options available, including an end-table crate in the main living area so they can remain close by while I relax, a standard metal crate, and a dedicated quiet room for dogs that may become overwhelmed or simply need a break.

We talked them through before his first visit, and she was willing to learn the best practices to set him up for success. We plan to use her services again soon!”

As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

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'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 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 have a dog of my own and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your pet. I’ve always had many of pets throughout my life and would love to add your pet to my extended family. I am looking forward to showing your pet the love and attention that all humans and pets need. I live an active lifestyle so I am always out and about taking my dog on a walk. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night I will be walking with my pupper and would love for your pet to come along for the ride. I am a frequent attendee at the dog parks and as long as your dog is vaccinated I’m sure they would have a grand time there as well. I can feed, walk, run, and even pick up your dogs poop. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet care as I have a dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was a wee pup. 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.
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. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!
About: I've been around dogs ever since I was a child. I rarely come across a dog that I don't like or that doesn't like me! I currently do dog sitting and walking for friends and family and would love to expand my services to others looking for high quality dog care. I work part-time so I usually have a very flexible schedule with a lot of availability. Mornings through afternoons are usually the best times . I meet the needs of the dog owner when watching dogs in a client's home. I understand that dogs can have varying needs/schedules. I feel comfortable giving dogs necessary medicines and meeting any special needs. I can go the extra mile to make sure your dog(s) are happy and safe. I've even saved a dog that fell in a pool once!
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by creatures big and small—everything from conures to bison. From an early age, I learned not just how to care for animals, but how to truly respect them. That foundation deepened over the years into a lifelong appreciation for the bond we share with our animal companions. Adopting my dog Uschi was life-changing—she taught me about unconditional love, loyal companionship, and even nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced my commitment to providing pets with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, respect any dietary needs, and make sure they feel calm and cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to run, play, and give your sweet baby the love they deserve! I currently work remote at my own pace, so I have full availability any time of day, morning or over night. Complete flexibility to your schedule. My overnight stays are flexible and can be tailored to your pet’s specific needs. I’m happy to take care of small home tasks like bringing in the mail or taking out the trash—just let me know what you'd like. We can also go over feeding schedules, walk routines, and note any areas that are off-limits to ensure everything runs smoothly. I understand that separation anxiety is common, and I approach each visit with patience, empathy, and a calming presence. Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I’m also very mindful of pet nutrition—no treats or dietary changes will be made without your clear consent. I’m available for a wide range of time frames and am happy to adapt to your pet’s rhythm and routine, providing consistency, comfort, and a little extra love while you're away.

“Allison and Nicholas were a life saver…I needed help last minute for our dog and they gladly helped us. My dog was so comfortable he didn’t even want to leave when we came to get him lol. They are the perfect couple to keep your pup if needed and I’ll definitely contact them again. 🥰🥰💜💜”

“I had a trip I had my usual sitter unable to watch my Great Dane with very short notice. Natalie responded quickly and eased my worries about finding someone to watch my girl. When I arrived she was welcoming and Lucy warmed up to her quickly. I got pictures during the stay showing Lucy was doing well and having a good time. I will definitely use Natalie again for boarding services!”

“Heather was awesome! She took great care of Leo and was quick in communicating. We would definitely rebook and would recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming place for your pup! Thank you!”

“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!”

“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”

“Lindsey and her family were great. She was very attentive to our dogs needs. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and would love to do it again during future vacations. This is the first time using any boarding service and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you Lindsey”

“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!”

“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”

“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!”
“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”

“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!”

“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
“Joscelyn and her family took such good care of Willow! My husband and I had no worries whatsoever about her staying with them and felt we could fully relax while we were away. I honestly think our dog had more fun with them playing with their dog than at our house 😂. We WILL be taking Willow over again when we have to be out of town.”

“Our boys had a blast with Jennofer and her family! They even seemed a bit disappointed to go home with us! We got wonderful daily (sometimes twice daily) updates with the best photos. Will definitely recommend and use her again!”

“One of the best! Ted was well taken care of during his stay. Great communication and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable leaving Ted with Agnatha and her family. No doubt in my mind I will use her again when needed. Extremely professional and unlike a lot of others she followed Ted's feeding restrictions. Thanks to Agnatha and her family!”

“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.”

“This is the second time Paw Paw and Pepper stayed with Stephanie, and as always they had an amazing time. Stephanie gives timely updates and treats furry friends as her own family members. Both Paw Paw and Pepper look so relaxed when I picked them up. Knowing both pups are taken good care of makes vacation time so much more enjoyable when we cannot take them along. Will definitely book again.”
