“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”


About: Experienced with senior dogs, and I understand patience and gentleness they require. I’m attentive to their routine and health needs. I will treat them like family. I do not work and am available to sit for your dogs or they can come to my home. I will treat them like family. I do not have any other animals and could give my full attention to your dog. I have a peaceful environment at home and welcome the company.

About: At Williamson Animal Care and Control I volunteered walking dogs. I also received significant training in dog behavior and dog walking. After retiring from my career, I started my pet sitting and dog walking career. I took care of a rescued Great Pyrenees multiple times during the week and frequently overnight trips for over two years. I recently moved back to the Fort Wayne area from Franklin, TN. Three of my previous dog clients have shown interest in having me come back to stay with their dogs when they’re out of town for more than a couple days. Pet sitting and dog walking are my primary responsibilities along with taking care of my two cats. I have a very flexible and available schedule. I take pride and making sure that the client’s home is as good if not better when I entered. I will walk the dog, feed or treat, make sure the water bowl is full and also if appropriate snuggles.

“Amy is great with cats and dogs and incredibly responsible. She sent photos and a summary of the visit every time she stopped in to visit the cats. We will definitely use her again!”

I am available and experienced in anything from feeding and walking to bathing and cleaning up pet messes!

“Mariah was great! Her photo updates always showed that Duffy was having fun, and in good hands. Communication is important when we entrust our fur friends to others, and Mariah was right on top of that. Will definitely book her again when I have opportunity to travel!”


About: I have 8 years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. I have experience with a wide variety of animals, from senior dogs and cats to farm animals. I have your pet’s best interest and well being at heart. I work part time (28 hours/ week) and my schedule varies daily, but I have plenty of available time even on days that I work.

About: I am an avid animal lover and find joy in spending time with animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and farm animals! I am a vegetarian and love forming connections with pets and animals. My very first paycheck earned was after cat sitting for my neighbor at 10 years old. Since then I have worked over night as a house sitter/pet sitter, drop-in pet feeder, and have raised and litter box trained my own three cats since they were just a few weeks/months old. I am capable of walking dogs in all weather, playing with and interacting with animals, and cleaning up after the messes they can make. I utilize open communication with all pet families and owners. One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a very caring nature and have worked full time as a nanny for young children and babies since 2019. Transparent communication and love are my specialities! I am working part time during the week and would be available to provide services before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm. I am typically pretty available on the weekends at any time as well. I am not able to provide pet care in my home for others. I am comfortable caring for your pet at your home and in your neighborhood. I have trusting references for my experience and professionalism.

Rita W.
“I’m writing to highly recommend Rita as a responsible and caring pet sitter. Rita has watched our two cats, Trixie and Carol Channing, on multiple occasions, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Trixie can be quite shy, but Rita has a gentle and patient nature that quickly earned her trust. She always took the time to make Trixie feel comfortable, often staying a bit longer than expected just to ensure both cats were happy and relaxed. Her dedication and genuine love for animals really shone through. Rita was consistently reliable and communicative. She kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the pictures that both Trixie and Carol Channing were calm and content under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She’s been a wonderful presence in our cats’ lives and a huge help to us.”

Payton R.
“Payton watched our two cats for us while on vacation for a little over a week. She spent more than the expected amount of time with them and sent us many lovely photos throughout our vacation. Our mechanical litter box had broke while we were gone and she problem-solved on how to clean the litter, even when we told her she didn’t have to. She read our multiple pages of instructions on how to care for the cats without any fuss and seemed to understand how important our cats are to us!”
