“Ann Marie has been a life-saver! She has been checking in on my dog Ruby for weeks now and has always been so flexible and communicative with me! Definitely recommend! 🙂”
About: I have worked in a dog kennel / daycare for the past 3 years. I am currently employed at the Zionsville country kennel but would be available Monday through Friday before 1pm. I own 2 dogs, 3 cats and adore working with animals. Although I am currently working at the Zionsville country kennel and dog daycare but i will be available Monday through Friday, anytime before 1 pm. I have many years experience keeping animals safe not only from other animals but from themselves. Your pet will be kept under supervision the entire time under my care.
About: I have worked at veterinarian clinics and dealt with all types or breeds and temperaments. I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I would help with playgroups, walks, medication administration, and bathing. I have helped with potty and crate training, including my own dogs. I have a crate and rotate situation in my own home, so I understand that not all dogs can be around others. I work Monday - Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. I am off most weekends and major holidays. Message me for what your needs are. I have a crate and rotate situation in my home. I know to take extra care to make sure my non dog friendly dog is up prior to letting any others out. I double check to make sure the crate doors are latched. I also make sure my own gate is closed because I would hate for one of my dogs to get out.
About: I have owned my fist dog since 10 years old, when I turned 17 I adopted my first husky, by the time I turned 18 I had two more huskies! I love training, bathing, and running with the dogs! I am currently trying to save up to get an agility course! I have got a 4 yo husky, 1.5 year old husky/gsd mix and a 3 month old husky/malamute I have got 3 dogs myself and a cat that I take care of, I’ve been thinking of going around seeing if people needed dogs walked watched etc I have got a lot of extra time and I love animals! I work at 5 pm or 10 pm most days! I have got the out for our dogs and free roam of a 3 story house. Water is always avalible when outside or after playing (will vary with dogs specific needs and breed) example: I have husky’s, and right now they love the winter so they are outside a lot! But my 7 year old jack russel mix is outside and right back inside. We do have kennels for feeding, or dogs are separated for feeding
“Noelani was super helpful with a last-minute booking! The flexibility and communication was so helpful and I am super grateful! Storm loved the time she got to spend with Noelani while we were away. Thank you for keeping her safe and comfortable and fed!”
About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
“Wow! She went above and beyond for my husband and I. She drove 30 minutes (both ways!!!) to bring my two dogs to our wedding venue. Not only that but she watched my parents 3 dogs right after. 5 dogs total and she was wonderful. She kept us updated throughout the day and made my wedding day even more special.”
About: I don’t just love dogs because they’re cute. I love them for who they are. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love, and the way they can make you feel loved without ever saying a single word. They don’t care what you look like, how much money you have, what kind of day you’ve had, or whether you have your life together. They just want to love you, be near you, and be part of your world. 🐾 I’m currently working full time, free during the week to be around dogs, care for them & be their extra love. I love all dogs ♥️ Fenced in yard, I have 2 dogs whom I love everyday of my life. They’ll always be a part of my life, everyday! My life is just about dogs
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I regularly dog-sit for my neighbors, and I also have two 95-lb Golden Retrievers, a Dachshund, and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with both large and small pets. I love spending time playing with dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m a first-year business student at IU Indianapolis studying marketing. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! My availability: • Monday: Before 10:30 AM, 11:45 AM–2 PM, after 3:50 PM • Tuesday: Before 10:30 AM, 11:45 AM–3 PM, after 4:15 PM • Wednesday: Before 10:30 AM, 11:45 AM–2 PM, after 3:50 PM • Thursday: Before 10:30 AM, after 11:45 AM • Friday–Sunday: Flexible/open availability 🐾 I prioritize safety, comfort, and following each pet’s routine. I’m attentive to pets throughout their care and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, and care instructions from each owner. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
“I have booked Bryanna 6 times to take care of my cat, for stays ranging from 3 days to more than 2 weeks. The experience has continued to improve as she spends more time with my cat and understands his needs better. She is caring, and she has gone above and beyond by bringing a few toys from her home to keep my cat entertained when he gets bored with his own toys. She refreshes water, plays, refills food, gives treats, lets my cat out on the patio for fresh air, and helps with grooming. On some visits she was able to spend extra time with him, which I really appreciate. Time and punctuality: It is good to be aware, her visit window can vary based on her schedule.”
About: I've had animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would go out of my way to walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would let me. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals from cats and dogs to standard farm-animals, rodents, and reptiles. I also have experience with true exotics as seen in some of my photos as I was previously a zookeeper. If there is an emergency that requires veterinary intervention, I will contact you immediately and take your pet to a vet or emergency vet of your choice. And if you have any extra tasks you need me to do like collecting mail & packages or watering plants, I can do that too! I work my day job Tuesdays - Saturdays from 7am - 12pm in Indianapolis and can be with your pet continuously before and after those hours. If you need a pet with constant care however, you will have to look somewhere else or book at least 2 weeks in advance. While my prices may seem steep, with my knowledge and years of experience, you will find that my care goes above and beyond! I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.
“Very attentive and careful while walking my husky that hasn’t always been well behaved on a leash. He even tried working with her to reduce her pulling. Gave her all the attention she needed when she was missing her family! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,009 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Advance. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Advance. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
