“Nervous about leaving our baby in the care of a stranger, I took comfort in reading other people’s reviews so I hope this helps. As a new transplant to Fort Wayne from Brooklyn New York, things are very different. Our 2 year old poodle isn’t use to the new routine or people yet and Tracy was patient, communicative and caring. I felt comfortable letting him into our home and loved getting the photos of our happy - despite Super nervous- pup with his tail up trotting along. Tracy is a game changer for us in our new schedule and I would trust him with our pooch in our home or in his.”


“Craig and Edmy are wonderful! We hired them for a second time to walk our dog during the day while I was out of town. We had some last minute schedule changes and they were incredibly helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be using them again for future trips!”


About: Hi! I have had 2 family dogs and I currently own 2 cats. I have worked at a dog kennel and done a couple internships at vets. I can work with any type of animal of any age. I plan to have a full time job but can check in on your babies as needed. I am also willing to stay overnight if necessary. I can drive to client’s homes. I can feed, medicate, walk, scoop litter boxes, and anything else needed. I prefer to go to client’s homes rather than take them home.

“She’s always pleasant and always smiling and she even ask about me that great when you have someone here for your dog, but they are also interested in how you feel that’s great.”


“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”


About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).

“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”


“Lydia is very kind, considerate, and prompt! She lets you know what's going on well a head of time if things need to be changed in the schedule. 10/10 Will definitely use again! Oh, and my Trudy likes her too 🤩😂”


About: Hello everyone! I’m happy to be of service for you and your animals. I have many years of experience with dogs. I grew up with animals in my childhood home and am very comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I have trained, raised and cared for several dogs myself. Daisy was a golden retriever, Zoe was my golden rough collie mutt, Molly was my 10-lb mutt, Charlie was my very sick mutt, Jess was my hyper husky blue heeler mutt, and now I have Frida. Frida is a sweet girl who loves to work. She is a border collie Australian Shepard mutt who came with me from ND. We are working on learning tricks and trying our hand at herding. Yes when I am with your dog we will work on basic obedience, manners, games, and tricks if you should like. I also have some experience with cats and would love more experience. I fostered a very sick kitten last year and have been around lots of friends’ and families’ cats. If there should be other animals that I have not worked with before, I would be happy to learn how to do so. And I would take my time to ensure I follow your care instructions thoroughly. Looking forward to helping you while you are away! Services in your home - you can rest assured knowing you have an extremely responsible and dependable person in your space. I will be respectful of your things and wishes. I will take extra care to follow your instructions precisely. I do have a dog of my own, which presents a unique opportunity. I can offer you a significantly lower rate if you want me to stay in your home and you allow Frida to be with me. Otherwise she will be kenneled in the car while I am in your home (if you are wanting me to spend the night in your home). I realize most people will not want this, but I wanted to throw it out there as an option for you. Services in my home - Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. They will have structure, routine, and lots of love. Please bring your kennel. If you do not have one, I have a wire kennel that they will use while here. I do kennel Frida when I have to leave the house and cannot take her with me. Your dog will enjoy lots of play time with Frida. We have a six foot fence and dogs will always be supervised while we are outside. Frida and I also really enjoy our walks and your dog would be one of the pack. Yes, I do require a meet and greet to learn all about your animal before I will accept a booking. Thank you for understanding. Love, Erin and Frida 💕 I am currently working part time, so lots of time to watch your animals and love on them. I would love to be able to watch your pets full time. So I am working on filling up my calendar. Let’s see where this can take me. Currently, Frida and I walk daily and it would be awesome to take a dog friend with us! Also, I am currently watching pets for people out of town. I go over in the morning to say hello to the cats, change water, fill food, clean litter box, and make sure they have optimal viewing spots by the windows to watch the birds. Then I return at night for play time, water plants, and make sure I repeat everything from the morning. I’d love to care for yours while you are away too! In my home I have a six foot fenced yard and a border collie policing the yard haha. I have one large wire kennel and one medium sized wire kennel that will house your dog should I need to run a quick errand. When I am in your home, I will be responsible and respectful. I will follow your house rules and keep your babies safe, loved, and cared for.

About: I have taken care and dog sat for people in my family for about 2 to 3 years and they are very energetic dogs. I am used to being very involved with the dogs I dog sit. I do have a job but I only work Wensdays, Fridays and Saturdays ranging from times of 4 to 7 hours. But the rest of my days are free to take care of your animal to the best of my ability. I do work about 16 hours a week but that is all, all my other time will be spent watching and caring for your pet. I would care for your pet like it was mine. I would take very good care of your animal, treating it with love and respect. I would take your rules very seriously and follow them to a T.

About: I’ve had an animal whether it be dog or cat my whole life and have a love for animals! I am servicing the Fort Wayne area up to 15-20 miles from the downtown area. I had been doing Rover while living in Connecticut from early 2021-2023 and then in Delaware from 2023-2025. After traveling for awhile, I would love to continue providing excellent service on Rover here in hometown! Prior to using the Rover platform I would pet sit for family and friends! I would be honored to take care of your furry friends like I would my own. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions about me! I currently work remote so I have a lot of flexibility for all your pet’s needs while you’re away! I may need to be away for a few hours but can adjust my schedule for your pet’s needs! I unfortunately do not have the capability to care for pets in my home (boarding) but am more than willing to come to your home (house sitting) and treat it like my own! I would follow your pet’s schedule and prioritize over mine as best permitting! I’m cleanly, caring, and thoughtful! I will even grab mail, packages, and other household chores to ensure your home was the same as you left it!
