“I love Samantha. So does my puppy. What’s not to love? We have had her sit Elvis a few times now and are always so happy about his stay! She sends photos and updated often - and replies fast. Laika (her dog) is Elvis’s new bestie!!! Samantha even bought Elvis more food because he ran out before we even had time to panic!!! She is amazing.”
“Finley had a great time with Gerard -a big fenced in back yard to play, a couple new friends to play with and some time inside to relax and watch golf and the Pacers. It doesn’t get any better! Finley was very happy when I picked him up and was excited to see me! He had a great time. We will definitely use Gerard again !”
“Lynna spoiled our two golden doodles… so much so, I’m surprised they came home 😂 Lynna’s communication was excellent. She answered questions before I asked. One of my dogs needed medication, no issue all was great. Looking forward to dropping the girls off with her again.”
“Crystal and her family took amazing care of Maiya and we felt that our puppy was not only taken great care of but became a part of their family while we were gone. She kept us posted and shared pictures so we could see our pup. I would highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town! Alexis gave me so much peace of mind by sending regular updates, including lots of photos and videos. It was clear my pup was happy, well-cared for, and loved while I was away. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Britny and her family were awesome sitters and set photo updates multiple times a day along with how Chai was doing. Chai was completely comfortable while she was there, and we couldn’t have asked for better sitters!”
“Amy did an excellent job caring for our dog, Penny. Penny loved playing and snuggling with Amy and her son. We received great communication and pictures throughout the time Penny was with Amy. We would definitely recommend Amy and will use her in the future.”
“Our Annie girl had a great time with Kari, Clint and their whole fam! They gave lots of updates through the week so that we didn’t worry about her while we were away. They are so kind, easy to work with and we will definitely be using them for future trips!”
“Julie R. Is a kind-hearted, capable, compassionate pet lover who was amazing with my dog. She took him for long daily walks and gave him fun exercise time, kept him clean, fed, safe and happy. She paid attention to his little habits, and accommodated him in the most caring, ingenious ways. My dog was in good hands and came home in good shape and tired— just what a dog-owner would want!”
“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”
“Nikki T was fabulous. Remi does not like to be without his family. Nikki had no problems in making Remi comfortable in her home. Great experience for Remi and our family. Would return to, and recommend Nikki T.”
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of our Irish-doodle, Fitz. She was great about communicating and sending pictures. Her home was very clean and they have a very large fenced in back yard. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
“Hugo had another wonderful stay with Richard! Flexible drop off and pickup times, great communication with pictures and videos sent daily. Also love seeing Hugo’s report card on how he did during the visit. Thanks again Richard for the great care of Hugo!”
“Clara did a really good job at taking care of my two boys. I could noticeably tell they were both calm and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Clara”
About: After 13 years in education, including 10 years at Mt. Vernon Community Schools, I’m now a stay-at-home mom with extra time to give your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m also a mom to two little boys who are very loving and will be excited to play with and spend time with your furry friends. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I love giving lots of scratches, cuddles, and companionship. Depending on your pet’s personality and needs, we might go for walks, play fetch, enjoy some outdoor sunshine, or simply relax together. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’ll do my best to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently home with my littles and taking my oldest to preschool, and picking him up, so my availability is very open. I can be very flexible with a schedule depending on your pets needs. I have a fenced yard so plenty of room for your pet to run around and play. My littles enjoy playing with fur babies as well. 💙
“I’m a first time Rover user, Rajesh did a wonderful job taking care of Coco and his various care needs. He sent daily updates and videos of Coco having fun and being spoiled. He truly cares very much for the pups in his care and I will definitely use him again. Thank you Rajesh!”
“Kristan was absolutely wonderful! She provided updates and my dog Harris loved hanging out in her fenced in back yard! I would highly recommend Kristan and will be using her again for my future pet sitting needs!”
“Samantha was fantastic! She took great care of our dog and was very good with communication. She and her family are very kind, and you can tell they have a genuine love of animals. I'd highly recommend Samantha!”
“Taylor and Kevin were great sitters! Gus had a great stay. They sent me daily photos, were easy to get in contact with, and were flexible with me in terms of drop off and pick up times. Would come back!”
“Sarah was a great fit for Duke. I had to leave town for a funeral so short notice and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated with how Duke was doing through my trip. I would recommend her for everyone to use.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alliance home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alliance.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alliance sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
