House Sitting in Westwood North, Fort Wayne

“Laura and Sheena did house sitting with my Husky-poodle mix over a 2-week period as my family and I had traveled for the holidays. We came back to the house in 1 piece and my pup was happy and energetic as always. There was no personality change in him which is very important on my satisfaction list. I got updates and pics of my pup every night, as requested, which helped me cope without him. To top things off, I was surprised with a card from Laura and Sheena when we returned home. If that wasn't sweet enough, I also got prints of some of the pics they took of my pup. These gestures were extremely thoughtful and made us smile. As if you couldn't already tell, I highly recommend them and plan to utilize their services again and again!”

“Our typical dog sitter was busy for our weekend trip (we waited too long to reach out, that was our bad.) so I had to find someone else we could trust. Tracy has tons of positive reviews and was super quick getting back to me. The doggies were well taken care of. This was perfect for our short trip. Letting anyone into your home can be a little sketchy, but I never felt nervous on this trip. I definitely recommend.”

“Sumer was amazing! She came over to meet our dogs first and was so easy to talk to. She was very laid back and the dogs loved her! I was very happy with my choice to have Sumer dog sit and I hope to be able to use her again! ❤️”

“Julia was awesome!! Very kind and punctual with watching our fur babies! Communication was great. Thanks Julia for taking care of our fur babies!”

“Alyssa did great! We booked her for our wedding weekend where we didn’t know exactly what we would need help with. She was able to adjust as needed and work with us with patience and the pups loved her! She also left no trace of her visit. She is so personable and highly recommend!”

“Mason is great - very nice and takes his pet caregiver role seriously. Henry and Tugg took to him immediately. We are using Mason again and highly recommend him.”

“Great sitter always ready to look after my five dogs at the drop of a hat. I recommended he use this service because he said he really enjoys it.”

“Radamez Cruz presents very knowledgable in many areas, pet care and understanding of pets not the least. He would be a good trainer of pets and their humans. He also went out of his way to give Maggie a very valuable socialization experience. We look forward to trusting Cruz in the care and decisions he makes in Maggies best interest. He gets five stars in our book.”

About: I originally started my pet care experience as a pet sitter for my neighbors during high school. My family had never owned a dog, but after I proved to my mom that I was responsible enough to care for someone else's pet, we got a dog of our own. Since then, I have cared for four dogs of my own at two separate households. They range in size from 10lbs-115lbs and I am therefore comfortable with dogs of any size. One of my pets has severe allergies so I am very familiar with food restrictions and the administration of medications for pets. I look forward to treating your pet as my own and developing a bond that makes them feel comfortable when you are unable to be there. I currently work as a teacher. I am gone weekday 6:30-3:30, but have full day availability during Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and summer break. Weekend availability is wide-open throughout the year. I have a fenced in-yard and love to take my dogs on walks. We focus on both mental and physical stimulation in our home to ensure dogs are thoroughly exercised.

“Natalie did a great job with our dogs, and they really liked her! We did a meet and greet beforehand. She was very friendly and knew she'd be a good fit. She spent a good amount of time with our dogs while we were gone and they were very well taken care of!”

“Jordan is great with pets taking time out of his day to play with them & has patience when learning how to interact with them, especially with our family dog Fredward.”

“I was so grateful to have found Annamarie to take care of my two dogs and cat while I was gone. She was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and loving with my pets. We met in advance to discuss my pets' needs and routines. She was very thorough and asked thoughtful questions, and while I was away; I received numerous updates from Annamarie. When I returned home, my pets were happy, fed, and well-adjusted. They clearly had a great time with Annamarie.”

“Our pups were well cared for and happy, and our home was in perfect order when we returned home. Mackenzie kept us updated and our dogs loved her.”

“Lizz was wonderful! We left both our dog and cat in her care, and we didn’t worry a bit if they were in good hands. Our dog Oliver had epilepsy and required twice daily medication. Lizz made sure he didn’t miss a dose! She sent us pictures throughout the week, knowing how much we missed them. We will absolutely be booking Lizz again, thank you Lizz!!”

“Erin has taken care of my pup many times during his life. Unfortunately my pup has passed. She has had two cats earlier (both of which have passed) and also currently has two cats that are well taken care of and loved. She aslo took in my moms cat after she passed.”

“Isabel is an incredibly caring and kind animal caretaker. She takes the time to understand an animals needs and personalities to provide the best care for them and give them the love they need and more. If you want someone who will truly care about your pet you will choose Isabel.”
