“So pleased with Ashley who watched our dog this weekend. She is a great communicator and always kept us informed with picture updates. She left the house in perfect condition like nobody was ever here. Super reliable and highly recommend her and we also plan to use her services again.”
About: Dogs are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a couch cuddle champion, or a senior dog who prefers a slower pace, I'll provide personalized care that matches their needs and routine. I offer in-home visits, walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection to help your dog feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I understand how important consistency is, so I'll take the time to learn your dog's schedule, preferences, and personality to keep their days as normal as possible. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. My goal is simple: a happy dog, a worry-free owner, and lots of tail wags along the way. Pet care fits well into my lifestyle, and I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. While my availability may vary from day to day, I do my best to work with pet owners to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication about scheduling. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and schedule. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or extra attention while you're away, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so that each animal receives the time, attention, and individualized care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that pets feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, and I work to create a calm, positive experience while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves active play, quiet companionship, or simply having a familiar routine maintained, I provide care tailored to them. I believe trust and communication are essential. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I also respect your home and will leave it just as I found it. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment you book until you return home.
About: I have helped take care of dogs and owned dogs now for over 20 years of my life. I am an avid animal lover, with large and small dogs. I am a stay at home mom with a love for all types of animals! I’d love to assist you with your pet sitting needs. I have a fenced in pest controlled yard with plenty of room to roam and shade to keep cool. You can rest assured your pets will be safe with me.

“Bren is awesome! Our original dog sitter fell through thus we found ourselves in a predicament and using someone new is nerve-racking, especially last minute. However, Bren made the entire experience smooth, easy and most importantly her passion for dogs was obvious. She watched pups at our house which allowed for them to keep their normal routine and she also made sure to send lots of pictures while we were gone so we knew our pups were getting loved on while we were away. When we arrived home our house was in perfect shape and our fur babies were happy as can be! So glad we found Bren - we plan on hiring her again and again!”

“Kind, loving, and attentive. Followed our wishes; left our home clean, and pups happy. Would not hesitate to call on Chloe again. Rest assured, your fur babies will be safe and well-cared for with her!”

About: I’ve took care of a lot of animals in different breeds for friends, family, strangers. There will never be a dull moment with me and your babies I am a college student so this is a great way to make money and do something I love. I’m basically available anytime after 3 but could work out other times in your favor. I have a nice private backyard, a good size apartment that is always clean, I have 2 male pups that can keep your baby company and if they don’t do well with dogs I can keep them separate as well.
“We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter! From the beginning, communication was excellent and we felt completely comfortable leaving our pets in their care. We received updates,and could tell our pets were happy, relaxed, and very well loved while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being treated like family. We came home to happy pets and everything was perfect. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”

“Bree was great with the dogs and house sit! She even stopped by before the sit to get acquainted, which was really nice. We will definitely book her again in the future!”

About: Through and through Hoosier here. I am originally from Decatur, IN but relocated to the beautiful '07 of Fort Wayne! I went to college at IUFW for Medical Imaging and completed my Bachelor's degree. I am pursuing this opportunity to explore and familiarize myself more with the community - as well as all the amazing pups! I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat, so I am well versed in the fur baby community! I currently have a full time job Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I am looking to pick up some pet care work on Tuesdays and the weekends! I have a fenced in back yard as well and a large basement suited for caring for animals in an overnight manner. I do have a cat that lives in the house who will be on the second story.

About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. Providing your house and/or your pets is the priority while you are away/or needing services. Let me provide you the peace of mind that your house and your pets will receive the highest quality of attention. I have lived in many countries, led international mission trips, and have cared for many owner's houses/pets.
About: I have grown up with animals in my household and family for as long as I can remember. I love dogs (big and small), and have helped train the many we have had. I go to Purdue and I’m home for the summer so my availability is very open. Weekdays and some weekends all day. Just hit me up! As long as you give instructions, I will follow them closely. I have no problem handling big dogs as I am a big guy, as long as they are friendly 😊.
“Laura Rose was great - friendly and helpful. Laura was very good with our dogs, and they and our house were well taken care of. We appreciated receiving photos while we were gone. A positive experience for me and the dogs.”
“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.
About: I've taken care of many different dogs since I was a kid. Family friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I am a recent college graduate so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am more than willing to adjust my plans to ensure your pets always have the care they need! I have cared for many different pets with all sorts of medical and behavioral needs. Whether your pets needs round the clock care or just a nice long walk while you're at work I will make sure they get what they need.
