“Alexis E. Did an amazing job. I chose her for her ratings and she delivered! Communication was exceptional. Libby (my goldendoodle) got to socialize with peers and was in 'dog heaven' with Alexis. Loved that Libby had huge fenced area to run and play! Alexis was a treasure!”
“They took great care of my boy. They only sent one or two photos a day; our other sitters spoiled us with photos, but he was in great hands.”
“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”
“We were gone for a week and a half, and she did such a wonderful job with our two boys! She went above and beyond to make sure they were healthy and happy. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she took of our babies while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Alexx was a life saver! She was a complete stranger to us when we first met but after a walk through visits, we 100% felt comfortable having her take care of our 3 dogs. We were able to keep our fur children at home and have her come for visits. She let them out multiple times a day, feed them and administered their medications. She was respectful, kind and caring to our babies and I strongly recommend her to everyone! I would giver her 10 stars, if it was an option.”
“This was the first time leaving our puppy with a dog sitter and I was nervous. But Nancy and her husband were great! They were very accommodating and kept in touch with lots of pictures.”
“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”
“Natalie took great care of my lab while I was out of town. She sent me pictures that insured me he was doing well. When I picked up dog he seemed happy that he made new friends. I recommend Natalie for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Lyndsey took great care of our dog while we were away. She has a great property that she took our dog on many walks on along with a fenced in back yard where our dog could play freely. Our dog came home a worn out pup! Lyndsey also texted daily with updates and pictures. It was the first time we used Rover, and she made it a great experience. We will rebook with her in the future!”

“Agnatha was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her really quickly and had a wonderful time with her. She sent me many pictures to show how they were doing and was communicative about what they were doing and how they were eating and such. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you, Agnatha!!”
“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.”
“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”
“April and the kids did great with Gus. We like her location to be able to walk him in the Pufferbelly. Gus stayed for the weekend and came back tired. She provided pictures and assurance. We will use her again.”
“We were so pleased by the care received from Mariana and Mark. They treated our girls like their own. Huge relief when you can find a sitter that’s reliable when traveling.”
“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!!”
“Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”

“Alexis is great to work with and our kitties do well at her home. She spent extra time with our kitties helping them adjust to being in a new place. The daily pictures and updates are a comfort in knowing they are doing ok. Definitely recommended!”
“VERY last minute booking and had fast response and availability to fit my needs. Was able to give my pupper a small walk and potty break while I was out of town. Received multiple pictures during the experience and while my dog seems a little skiddish around strangers, I saw her very happy in the photos in a very short time. A big thank you! Made my life and schedule alot easier today with your services.”
“Arita did an awesome dropping in on our golden this week! She took her on walks everyday, gave us pictures and feedback! We can tell our golden enjoys her! We would recommend Arita again and again!”
“Hayley is super nice! Things seemed to go smoothly with her visits with our kitty. She brought in a package for us that I wasn't expecting, so thanks so much for that! Left the place just as we left it.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I loved it! I read through a lot of sitter profiles to find the right person for my kitties, one of which is special needs. Erika was perfect!! I would trust her with any of my pets and look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Charity was awesome visiting with our two cats. She made sure that our cat that loves people had plenty of attention. And went in search for our more reclusive one to put eyes on her. Very appreciated!”

“Michelle was awesome! She is very genuine and loves animals. She took great care of our kitty Hazel. She completed all of the visits as planned and sent great images and messages about the visit. She made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will request her again!”

“First time using the Rover service and our first time away from our pet for such a long duration. Franki was an excellent communicator, went above and beyond spending her time with our dog in his own home so he would be comfortable, and we're so thankful for her! Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”

“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”
“Nancy (& her husband) were abundantly caring and great with my Australian Shepard! I highly recommend letting them care for your dog for any duration. Updates were provided multiple times daily. Every activity was shared all with detail. Thank you!”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs throughout my life. Both of my grandparents have also always had them, so I am very familiar with how to care for them. I volunteered time with my grandma taking care of the animals and cleaning at the Dekalb humane shelter when I was younger. I just started walking my neighbors three dogs recently. I track these walks on Strava, and you can check that out if you’re curious about how far we walk and what the route looks like. I love animals so much that I choose to live a vegan lifestyle! I am excited to meet your pet(s)! Right now I have a part time job and no kids. I spend time working out, but that can be worked around easily. I may be unavailable if I have a boxing match, and I have practice 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8-9 a.m. on Saturdays. I prefer to care for pets at other people’s homes because we have three cats ourselves. I am very confident in my ability to care for pets. I am very capable so it’s okay if you have a dog that pulls pretty hard.
“Alexis did a great job with Sophie. Sophie liked her when she first walked in the door, which is always a great sign because dogs have great instincts in people thanks, Alexis, see you Wednesday!”
“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

About: **I am no longer providing overnight services until further notice.** I’m CPR certified for dogs of all sizes as well as cats, and my certification is valid through 2027. My journey with pet care began when I was thirteen where I would pet sit for family friends and acquaintances. I’ve been passionate about looking after animals ever since. Growing up with both a dog and a cat who were part of my life for nearly a decade deeply influenced my love for animals and inspired me to help care for others' pets while they’re away. My top priority is making sure every pet feels just as loved and comfortable as they do with their family. Whether it’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, going for walks, or just giving them company and cuddles, I’m here to ensure they are comfortable and having fun! I have experience administering oral medications and caring for minor injuries, such as bandaging hotspots. While I don’t currently have experience with injections, I’m always eager to learn and expand my skills. I am currently a student at PFW. I have classes Tuesdays & Thursdays (as of now) for about 2 hours. Otherwise, my schedule is pretty open! I have a very part time job outside of Rover, usually only ~5 days a month, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! I’ll treat your pet(s) with the same love and care I’d want someone to give my own. My pets are super affectionate (and a little needy), so I’m more than ready to give your pup as much attention, cuddles, treats, and playtime as they’d like/need. For cat parents: I have a super playful, energetic kitty of my own, and I’d be more than happy to bring that same energy and attention to your cat(s), whether they’re ready to chase toys, eat some treats, or just need a little patience.
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. I've spent my whole life around animals and currently share my home with four wonderful cats and one happy dog. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, respect their boundaries, and provide the love and attention they deserve. I'm kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or just quiet companionship. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently working full-time Tuesday-Friday 8a-6p so, unfortunately, I don’t have availability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends/Monday’s, I’m available morning, afternoon, evening and night! I will always create a comfortable and loving environment for you pets when coming into your home. I’m unable to allow cats/dogs into my own home at the time!
About: I grew up as the neighborhood pet sitter. My friends always ask me to watch their dogs when they are out of town, and I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my furry friends! I have had experience watching multiple pets at a time, which included feeding, walking, giving medication, and overnight care. I work three days a week and I am a full time online student. In other words, I like to stay busy! On my days off I am free all day. On my working days I am avaliable after 5pm. Weekends are flexible, so I am very willing to open up Saturdays and Sundays as necessary. I do not take pets into my own home simply because I do not have the space for them, and I live with roomates. But I am more than willing to dogsit at my clients homes if need be.
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have a special place in my heart for them. From elderly to puppies I will give your dog the attentive care it needs!

I have a nice, fenced play yard that I use to let my dogs and visiting dogs run and play (I do not let my own dogs play with visiting dogs). I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.
About: **About me** I currently am a stay at home Mom looking to make a little extra cash doing what I love! I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager but officially through Rover since 2016. June 2017-December 2017 I worked part time at the Allen County SPCA as the Communtiy Cat Coordinator. Prior to that I was an Animal Control Officer for the city of Fort Wayne which had been my full time job for 7 and a half years. I went to Purdue and graduated in 2009 with my Bachelor's in Veterinary Technology. I have worked in vet's offices and boarding facilities since I was 15 years old. I am now 37 years old, married, with 6 kids. We have a crew of dogs, cats, chickens, horses, sheep and mini donkeys. I also occasionally foster dogs for a local rescue. **About my home/services** I am very comfortable with any imaginable pet request, ie nail trims, walks, baths, etc. **About my neighborhood** We live on 15 acres with a pond. Lots of fun places for pups to play! **What to expect** We can provide plenty of interaction and exercise for your pet! Runs, walks, cuddles, play time, anything your pet wants! **Special rules or requests** We are open and flexible to your needs and requests. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask! We are very available on our cell phones and can send pictures and video and even facetime with your pet! I’m available any time for drop ins or walks. I do have a 2 year old at home so she will come with me usually for walks or drop ins during school hours. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am very knowledgeable and safety conscious when caring for your loved family members while you are away!
About: I am 21 years old. I have 8 years personal pet experience and will treat your babies like my own. I currently have 3 dogs a lab/husky, Australian Shepherd, and wolf hybrid. They were all rescues and now they’re my spoiled babies. I have an unfenced yard but have a trail that I walk my dogs on everyday they are also let outside to play in the yard and are always supervised. They are on a feeding and bathroom schedule. I also can administer medications and anything that your dog would need as 2 of my babies were previously on medication. All of my babies are allowed on the bed and furniture they have many toys as well. Send me a message I would to meet you and your furbaby! (:
About: I have taken care of many different animals, including reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals. I have some of my own even and I enjoy giving them the best life that I can provide. Working with animals has always been my passion. They deserve just as much as us :) I have a very flexible schedule. I have my own transportation and am very good with time management and scheduling. I will always have time to get my clients requests completed. I prioritize my clients wants and needs and will not go beyond their directions. I will compassionately care for your home and animals as I do my own. I love cleaning and organizing and will do extra tasks as requested.

“Alexis E. Did an amazing job. I chose her for her ratings and she delivered! Communication was exceptional. Libby (my goldendoodle) got to socialize with peers and was in 'dog heaven' with Alexis. Loved that Libby had huge fenced area to run and play! Alexis was a treasure!”
“They took great care of my boy. They only sent one or two photos a day; our other sitters spoiled us with photos, but he was in great hands.”
“We were gone for a week and a half, and she did such a wonderful job with our two boys! She went above and beyond to make sure they were healthy and happy. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she took of our babies while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“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!”
“Alexx was a life saver! She was a complete stranger to us when we first met but after a walk through visits, we 100% felt comfortable having her take care of our 3 dogs. We were able to keep our fur children at home and have her come for visits. She let them out multiple times a day, feed them and administered their medications. She was respectful, kind and caring to our babies and I strongly recommend her to everyone! I would giver her 10 stars, if it was an option.”
“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”
“Natalie took great care of my lab while I was out of town. She sent me pictures that insured me he was doing well. When I picked up dog he seemed happy that he made new friends. I recommend Natalie for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Lyndsey took great care of our dog while we were away. She has a great property that she took our dog on many walks on along with a fenced in back yard where our dog could play freely. Our dog came home a worn out pup! Lyndsey also texted daily with updates and pictures. It was the first time we used Rover, and she made it a great experience. We will rebook with her in the future!”

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

“Agnatha was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her really quickly and had a wonderful time with her. She sent me many pictures to show how they were doing and was communicative about what they were doing and how they were eating and such. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you, Agnatha!!”
“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.”
“April and the kids did great with Gus. We like her location to be able to walk him in the Pufferbelly. Gus stayed for the weekend and came back tired. She provided pictures and assurance. We will use her again.”
“We were so pleased by the care received from Mariana and Mark. They treated our girls like their own. Huge relief when you can find a sitter that’s reliable when traveling.”
“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!!”
“Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”
“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!”
About: I have had animals my entire life so I am very accustomed to taking care of pets. Our dog had seizures and had to take medication 2x/day. I know how important our animals are and what they mean to us. They are family. Having 3 pets of my own, animal care is in play 24 hours a day. Whether it's potty breaks, medications, or feeding time, I always make sure my animals are healthy and happy. Ensuring that they have food and water and a safe, warm place are of utmost importance. Providing love and affection because we are their whole world!
