“Goose had a great time with Mary. She was easy to work with and sent pictures and updates about how Goose was doing throughout his time there. We would happily have Goose stay there again!”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Celestial was amazing! My doggie is a nervous little guy and takes a while to get comfortable, and he got there, thanks to the excellent care he received from Celestial. Will definitely reach out again when we need care.”
“Melissa was awesome! She took such good care of Pacey while we were on our trip, and treated him like one of the family! She sent us pictures and messages to let us know how our boy was doing! I hope our baby can stay with her again this summer!!”
About: Hi, I’m Ash! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. I run five days a week and love running with dogs, so I’d be happy to take yours out for some exercise! My schedule is flexible: I work from home full-time during the summer and am only away a couple of afternoons a week during the school year. I’m comfortable caring for intelligent, playful, and anxious pups, and I also have experience with dogs who have complex medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs requiring eye drops, insulin injections, oral medications, and support with incontinence. I also have experience with elderly, anxious, and medically complex dogs. Before caring for your dog, I’d love to get to know both you and your pup. I require a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Because we have two children, ages 4 and 6, in our home, dogs must be kid-friendly. I work from home and can snuggle and let dogs out throughout the day. I can go on a run with your pup or take them on a walk, depending on what's best for them. I treat every dog like part of the family while they’re here. I know being away from home can be stressful for pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment with lots of attention, affection, and supervision. Dogs are welcome to relax with us, get plenty of snuggles, and go outside frequently for potty breaks and fresh air. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter environment. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and any other care preferences you provide. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and as at-home as possible while you’re away.
“Stacy was so wonderful to our 2 yard old Golden Doodle! Her house is a friendly place and the whole family loves dogs. Stacy sent us plenty of updates throughout the days she cared for Kaia in her home of both dogs playing, sleeping, and eating. Let Stacy be your dog’s home away from home!”
“This is my second time using Destinee and they were great once again. Sent lots of pictures and updates! Spoiled my pup the whole time she was there. Would recommend and I will be using her again.”
“Sharon did an amazing job with my boy Dave! He was well cared for and and very happy when I picked him up. Her communication and daily pics were on point. I couldn't ask for a better sitter and will use again!”
“Jacklyn is the best!! We received many photos and videos of our dog during her stay, it was great! Jacklyn’s very accommodating and professional. Communication was easy. We will not hesitate to book with her again- thank you very much!”
“Samantha is the best! This is the 4th time she has watched our puppy. Teddy had a bit of an upset tummy when we dropped him off. She updated us often with how he was doing throughout his stay. We knew he was in good hands. He is all better now. Samantha was also flexible with our pickup time when we arrived home a little later than planned. I highly recommend Samantha.”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“William cared well for our dog, Rosie. We appreciated that he was home during the days to spend time with her and he sent us updates each day. She came home happy!”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
“Leah went above and beyond! She shared photos and updates throughout my trip, making my first Rover experience such a positive one. Eva had the best time, I can’t recommend her enough!! 🙂”
“Claudia was great!! She took wonderful care of my kitty and sent lots of photos and updates. I will definitely ask her to board my cat again!! My cat seemed very happy and I was too!”
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter and took exceptional care of my boy Max. He was attentive and kept me updated daily with videos and pictures. Absolutely will be re-booking with him.”
“David was so great to my two frenchies. We completed a meet and greet and I knew within minutes of my dogs exploring and meeting the pack that this would be a great fit. They got to make new friends and be part of a very well behaved pack. They received lots of activity in his large enclosed yard with plenty of space to run or explore. Dogs were bathed on pickup and looked happy and healthy. David send daily videos which were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using David for all my travel plans knowing my dogs are in good hands.”

Indianapolis dog parents share their Rover experiences
Karli is amazing! She watched Indy for a long weekend for us when he was injured and she put me such at ease and just took the best care of him. He was basically on vacation getting cuddles and naps and going on little outings. We got lots of pics and Indy is looking forward to hanging out with her again!
Gabe took excellent care of my elderly high-maintenance dog, who is on four different medications. Gabe communicated with me at least once a day with photos and updates. My dog was relaxed and happy when I picked her up, unlike after a kennel stay, when she's frantic upon my return. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with Gabe again.
Leslie took great care of my dog, Pax, while we were out of town for one week. I had accidentally forgot medication for my dog (felt so guilty!) and she even went to costco and picked up new prescription for him. I got pics and videos and updates daily. He made lots of new friends and was spoiled. Was not sure if he would want to come home after his stay with Leslie! Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!
I loved having Leah watch my pups!! I left both my 2 yr old husky mix and my 6 month old pit mix pup with Leah for a whole week and she was amazing! She sent a lot of updates and made sure to notify us if anything obscure happened. She is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was very cautious when introducing situations that may be triggering for some dogs (ie: Food, toys etc.). I highly recommend booking with Leah as she will love your pups as her own!
Sydney was amazing with Rocco! It was below freezing outside, but she still went above and beyond to make sure he was still well exercised and was still having fun. We got regular updates which was awesome! Rocco tends to be really shy with strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly and looked like he had a great time! We will utilize Sydney again 💕
Kelsey has been amazing with Benny. She took care of him and provided consistent feedback and pictures. Benny enjoyed her house and played with her dog too.In addition I got trouble to be back in US and pick up Benny on time and she immediately accepted to take care of him while I was still out. I highly recommend Kelsey for booking.
