Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in West Lakes, Fort Wayne, IN

“Christina was amazing!! Our little Charlie has had a tough few months since he lost his sister. It’s been quite an adjustment for him and when we would leave him, he would be so sad all the time. Christina did a drop in with him, and when we came home, he was a happy boy. She communicated very well with us, and when he met her for the first time he fell in love. I totally recommend her!!”

“Evan is great! I am so glad I found her when we got Sam, our new puppy that needed let out, fed and played with during the day. She's been on time and will take the dogs out in our larger back yard to sniff and play when the weather is nice. Sam and Charlotte have been cared for so well. :-)”

“Anabela is awesome! She was so helpful to me as a newbie to Rover and she took excellent care of our little pup. Anabela kept us posted about all her visits with photo updates, and she asked good questions to make sure that everything went smoothly. We enjoyed our time away so much more knowing that Pixie was in good hands!”

About: My pets are family, and I’ll treat yours the same. I’ve shared my home with cats and dogs for years—currently an 8-year-old poodle and a 9-year-old maine coon cat. I’m experienced with giving daily medication, patient with seniors and puppies, and always gentle and kind. I’ve done lots of training with my own dog and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets many times. I’m responsible, flexible, and treat every animal with the same care I’d want for my own. My schedule is currently open and flexible, so I can easily fit pet care into my day and am happy to work around your pet's routine. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just companionship, I approach every visit with patience and care. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved while you're away.

“I loved that Heather came to meet Farah and I. I could tell right away she was caring and very patient. Our cat sitter couldn't come to check in on Farah while we were on vacation due to unexpected health decline. Heather was willing to with very little notice. We were gone for 13 days and had Heather do a drop in for 11 days. Farah requires eye cleaning just about every day and is super picky about how clean her litter box is. She also hates getting her eyes cleaned and Heather did such a great job with her eye care. She made sure she had clean water each day too. Heather did the best job!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl!!”

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.

“I contacted Natalie for a last minute visit and she was able to drop-in and check on our three pups. They were all content and everything was in place. It gives us peace of mind knowing that we don't have to rush back from an outing, our pups are all happy and cared for.”

About: I grew up on a farm, we had dogs, cats, horses etc. I’ve also house sit for multiple people when I was a teenager to care for there horses and dogs. I’m currently working full time 7-330, I work fully remote, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I would be able to let them out whenever if they are staying in my home. I can easily crate your dog, I don’t have a fenced yard at my home, I have a long cable where my dog goes potty. I do know the importance of exercise for dogs who have this lifestyle, I walk my dog at-least once a day.

“Tracy is the best of the best! Made my vacation stress-free knowing my dog was going to be so cared for while I was gone. Can’t recommend Tracy enough, he is a super hero!”

During this time, I will be 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.
