Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Willshire Estates, Fort Wayne, IN

“Our family has been blessed with Tara! We could not be more grateful for how well she took care of our family of furry kiddos! Tara was extremely flexible with our changing schedule and ensured she gave extra attention to our kiddos when she came over and provided thorough report cards lol. We even found a box of treats that she had brought over for the pups! I felt confident about everything and didn’t worry about anything at all. Thank you, Tara!”

“Rebecca was so accommodating with my Akita Bruce. She scheduled a meet and greet, in which Bruce warmed up to her right away. She asked about all his needs and was willing to go above and beyond with my difficult work schedule. Will definitely be requesting her to check on Bruce again.”

“Edmy made sure that my cat was taken care of while I was on a trip. She sent me a ton of pictures and made sure to stay communicated. I really recommend her :).”

“Bree did an outstanding job keeping care of our beloved dogs while we were on a trip! She is very professional and she spend a lot of time keeping us properly updated with how our dogs were doing, and she also took incredible pictures to show how much fun they were having! She helped us with puppy training for one of our dogs and she also spend a lot of time playing with both of them on her visits. Definitely a perfect option for dog care and we for sure will be keeping in touch with Bree!”

“Tracy is the BEST! He’s punctual, he puts in plenty of time with my sick pet, he even notified us when it was obvious someone had been in our house (our roofer). Book with Tracy!”

Madeline S.

“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”

About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!

“Hannah is the absolute best! She communicates well and goes above and beyond to take great care of my dog every time. I can tell she truly loves Bella! We are always so grateful to have Hannah watch her!”

About: We are new to Rover, and ready to meet your furry family member! I’ve spent my life around dogs and had the privilege of raising my own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. I tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime. My husband and I work full-time, and we work together to care for your dog during early afternoons through the evenings on weekdays, as well as full days on weekends. We team up to provide consistent, loving attention for your dog. Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.

“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”

“We had to extend our trip longer and Neely said no problem and took extra good care of our boys. Once again I highly recommend her and we have her booked again in the future.”

“Karisa E. is amazing in every way. I’m so thrilled that I booked her for drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation for twelve days in Maui. Although I had been happy with other cat sitters that I’ve worked with on Rover, I decided to give Karisa a chance, because she was more affordable. Boy, am I so glad that I did. Karisa bonded with our kitties, Klondike and Sprite, better than anyone I’ve ever worked with before. Sprite, in particular, is very skittish and will hide from pet sitters, but, miraculously, she was happy to let Karisa and her children hold her during visits. Klondike likewise got tons of attention and affection, as evidenced by the many photos Karisa sent. Karisa also took care of watering my many orchids while we were away. Plus, when I forgot to suspend our shipment of frozen meals from The Farmer’s Dog while we were away, Karisa was a lifesaver! Not only did she keep an eye out for the package, but when it arrived, she brought it in out of the hot sun, unpacked it, and stored everything neatly in the freezer for us. I will most definitely be booking her again in the future.”

Kate R.

“Breana was HANDS DOWN the best pet sitter we have EVER had, including when friends and family have helped in the past. I would absolutely hire her again. She was thorough and attentive, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone for over a week.”

Lauren K.

“Brittany was the best! It was so obvious she took time and actually stayed and played with our kittens while we were away. Thank you so much Brittany!”

About: As a stay-at-home mom and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets is simply part of our everyday life. Our home includes a sweet, frenchie, a big, goofy lab/rot mix, and a dog-friendly cat — so we’re very used to different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Because I’m home throughout the day, visiting pups are never left alone for long. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level and adjust to what helps them feel safe — whether that’s playful interaction, quiet companionship, or a little extra reassurance. Walks Walks are never rushed. I focus on safe leash handling, calm pacing, and making sure your dog gets both physical activity and mental stimulation. Whether your pup needs a short, relaxed stroll or a longer energy-burning walk, I tailor the pace to their age and fitness level. I’m attentive to surroundings, weather conditions, and your dog’s individual needs so they return home happy and comfortable. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic leash manners and routines during walks to help maintain consistency. For boarding or drop-ins, I provide flexible scheduling, thoughtful updates with photos, and clear communication so you can truly relax while you’re away. Dogs can socialize in a supervised setting, but I also make sure they have their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. I’m able to separate dogs safely within my home and yard when needed. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re spending time with extended family — cared for, safe, and loved — while you have complete peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom, my infant daughter is part of our daily routine. She is always supervised, and I’m mindful to only accept dogs who are comfortable around children and calm in a family environment. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, so pet care naturally fits into our daily rhythm. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are included in a calm, structured routine. Mornings typically begin with outdoor time or a walk, followed by feeding according to your schedule. Throughout the day, I build in regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, and either gentle play or quiet rest, depending on each dog’s personality and energy level. Evenings include another walk or outdoor time before settling in for the night. Because my infant daughter is part of our household, I’m intentional about the dogs I accept. I only book dogs who are comfortable in a family setting and have a stable temperament. All interactions are supervised, and I’m able to separate dogs within my home and yard when needed to maintain a peaceful environment. On a weekly basis, I limit the number of dogs I take so each one receives focused attention rather than being part of a high-volume setup. My goal is for your pet to experience a consistent, calm routine that feels safe and familiar while you’re away. Walks are never rushed. I focus on secure leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and adjusting pace and distance to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup prefers a relaxed stroll or needs to burn energy, I tailor the walk accordingly. I can also reinforce basic leash manners to maintain consistency. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home) During drop-ins, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter care (if applicable), playtime, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home. You’ll receive detailed updates with photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. No matter the service, my goal is to provide attentive, calm, and reliable care so your pet feels secure and you feel confident while you’re away.

“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”
