About: Hello! I am a foster mom and an active pet rescue volunteer, ready to care for your pet. Snuggles, playtime, and photos are guaranteed! I truly enjoy the rewarding experience of caring for pets, and I look forward to providing your furry family member with extra special care and attention. Trust me, when I say your pet is special to me. My schedule is flexible, so I am available to drop in for a visit in the morning, before work, after work, and/or again in the evening. As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

“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: 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.

“Taylor was awesome! I started a new job and had to travel to Indianapolis everyday from Fort Wayne for training at our corporate office. She took care of my best friend, Max. He is my dog, and means the world to me. He was in great hands with Taylor. She is the best! I will use her for any dog sitting going forward, because my sales schedule is very busy. I highly recommend her to everyone that needs a high quality pet sitter for their animals. Thanks again, Taylor! 😊”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 18. In my early twenties, I regularly watched for two families. Over the years, I’ve cared for other animals here and there. My daughter loves to come support and learn about working. My two boys love to hug and give attention to all furry friends. I work full time, in Technology, at Fort Wayne Community Schools. I have flexibility in my hours if I need to stop by in the morning to care for an animal. My family does not have many commitments in the evening, which makes it easy to care for others pets. I have a fenced in backyard with a loving silver lab. I have an older cat that watches other animals in my home. When I visit your home, I always make sure your pet has fresh water. I give plenty of run downs. I like to spend time there with your pet so they don’t feel alone.

Rita W.
“I'm more than happy to recommend Rita Wheeler as a pet sitter. She has been the best cat sitter I've ever had. She's reliable and communicative, and she fully follows care instructions. She's loving to the animals, and she goes above and beyond during her time with them. It put me at ease to know I could trust her to take thoughtful care of my fur babies! The last cat sitter I had wasn't this great, but I didn't suspect she was having a negative effect on my cats until Rita took over. With the last sitter, when I came home from a trip, they would be hiding. After Rita became my cat sitter, they greeted me at the door. This made me realize they felt safer when she came over than the last person. I'm grateful to Rita!”
