Absolutely the best pet sitter experience! Thank you so much for your time and effort. You're amazing!”


About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”


“Taylor is absolutely wonderful! We never worry when she is watching our furbabies. She does a great job keeping us updated & sends us photos regularly! We know our house and all is in good hands! She is our go to sitter!”


“Jordan was great! She gave us frequent updates and photos of our dog and cat while we were away. She was also a very kind guest in our home. We will definitely be reaching out to her any other time our animals need care!”


About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs since I was 14. I’ve given medicine, gone for needed late night walks, and have a flexible schedule that can work around your pets’ needs! I work from home, so my schedule can adjust as needed. There is the occasional in-person meeting, but I’m almost never gone more than 4 hours and will know in advance so we can figure out a proper solution. My work has usually included the basics of pet-care such as feeding them, taking them outside, and giving them proper attention. On occasion I’ve given medicine, helped stay consistent with basic training, and am more than willing to stay overnight.

My home is large and smoke free. We have Plenty of room for your floofs to get all their zoomies! I have crates for pups that are still training. I have 15 years of experience with dogs and cats.

Meet and Greets are a must with large breeds.🥰 I’m available on any days that are open in my calendar here on rover! I’m also available during most holidays!

“Ladonna was amazing with our dog Jinx! She was flexible with her schedule and helped me and my fiancé out when we really needed someone to watch Jinx. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Ladonna Jinx absolutely loved her and she was great with him. I absolutely recommend her!”

I work from home and have flexibility to provide animal care when needed both during the day and during the evenings. I also am free both weekday and weekend. Flexible while caring for pets in a clients home. Will do what is best for the pet - taking them out to go to restroom or letting them out independently should the home have a fenced in yard, etc.

I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard !

“Josh is wonderful! I am a repeat customer and will always contact him if I need a sitter. My dog found himself in a bad way after chasing our squirrels. Josh was able to handle the situation in an expedient and responsible manner. He needed stitches and meds and extra care before I was able to get home. I was very confident in all of his abilities. He really went above and beyond! He communicated all information from the vet and cared for him very lovingly.”


“Zach went above and beyond. This was our first time using this service. He continously updated us with how our animals were doing and sent countless pictures. He loves animals and will use him again in a heartbeat.”


About: I have taken care of all different types of animals since I was a kid. I have alot if experience from young to old animals. As a school bus driver, I have a lot of free time during the middle of the day, evenings, weekends, and even during school breaks. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets — whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or extended play sessions. My work routine helps me stay organized and punctual, which translates well into consistent feeding times, walks, and medication schedules for your pets. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and giving them the attention they need when their owners are away. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. When pets are in my home, I provide a quiet, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a consistent routine to match what they’re used to. I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I make sure they always have clean water, proper meals, and a cozy space to relax. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and do my best to keep the pet’s routine consistent — whether it’s feeding times, walks, potty breaks, or medications. I treat your home with the utmost respect, and I always communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have over 2.5 years of professional pet care experience at a busy boarding facility, in which I took care of dogs and cats, plus extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Not only that, but I have a special interest in canine ethology, which carries over into my everyday life. Currently, I have two rabbits and have raised seven kits (baby rabbits) myself, along with caring for a total of nine rabbits over time, all now happily homed! I’ve also grown up with and raised a variety of dog breeds in my 21 years of life —from an 180 lb European Great Dane and another Great Dane rescue, to two Cocker Spaniels, an Irish Water Spaniel, and a Cavalier Spaniel. Right now, I share my home with a Great Dane named "Bmo" and an Irish Water Spaniel named "Butter" alongside my two bunnies, who were mentioned previously. We are definitely a Spaniel and Great Dane home if you can tell :). This hands-on experience gives me a deep understanding of different temperaments, needs, care routines, handling, and training. Although I have not had the honor of raising cats in my home, or growing up with them side by side -- I do have personal experience in caring for neighbors cats', as well as my professional experience in caring for cats at a boarding facility, here in Indiana. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding schedules, and adapting to each pet’s personality. What sets me apart is my genuine passion, patience, and commitment to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I’m currently available full-time, as I have parted with my commercial pet boarding job to focus on 1 on 1 care... which means I can offer flexible scheduling, whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles! I’m used to the rhythms of feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve on their schedule, not mine. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to "info dump" on me, as I closely follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and medication, and I’m always attentive to changes in behavior or health. In my home, pets have a clean, quiet space with plenty of fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to relax. When I visit your home, I treat it with respect, leaving everything exactly as I found it while ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. Building trust with both pets and their owners is my top priority—so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands.

About: I’ve had multiple dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve housesat for numerous family friends and acquaintances. I know human and pet CPR. I have worked with senior dogs and young dogs. I have personal experience with pitbulls, rottweilers, great Danes, herding dogs, huskies, labs, and beagles. I have some experience with behavioral issues and lots of experience giving medication. I also have lots of experience with escape artists (my childhood dog was a beagle who could climb trees and was dog reactive). I work as an EMT on a 2 week rotating schedule so on my long weeks at work I have two full days off and on my short weeks I have five days off and I work nights, so I am very used to being up all night. I have experience using crates for dogs, and with escape artists. I have experience using a dog run and with leash pullers. I’m also more than happy to learn any routines or special things that you do for your pets.
