About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats throughout my life, including my own dog, family dogs and cats, and pets belonging to neighbors. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own household, with plenty of love, attention, patience, and respect for their individual personality and routine. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and following detailed instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom routines, and other special needs. I also have experience providing additional care, including administering both liquid and tablet medications. I know that every pet is different, so I’m happy to learn their routine, favorite activities, little quirks, and what helps them feel most comfortable. My goal is not only to make your pet feel loved and cared for, but also to help you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially with my weekends generally open and flexible. I’ll also be transitioning to a hybrid work schedule soon, giving me additional weekday availability. I’m happy to coordinate my schedule whenever possible to provide reliable care, visits, walks, and companionship when your pets need it most. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and home environment so they can feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and will carefully follow instructions for walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and other needs. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while keeping their routine familiar and their home respected.
About: I grew up around a lot of big dogs so I think i have a better time reading the dog and knowing what it needs and when. I am currently self employed so i can fit in my walks into my schedule how I like. That way if you need to change the time i can be very flexible. You can ensure my attention will be on your pet 100% of the time when you book with me and will get lots of play time.
“This is twice now we’ve used Sam within a month. She consistently leaves detailed reports and provides plenty of pictures. I can’t say enough good things about her professionalism and adaptability. She will be our go to choice moving forward anytime we need a dog sitter.”
About: My name is Josh Clemens and I am a dog person. I have had animals my entire life, and I personally trained my own service dog. I truly believe animals are better than people and I love spending time with them. For me time with your pet isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity to make a friend! I know each pet is different and I work hard to meet each client’s specific needs. I love animals and if you choose to work with me, I believe you’ll see, they love me too! I only care for pets in client’s homes, not my own home. I specialize in custom in home service. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed. I care for all the animals I work with as if they were my own, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make my customers happy. Every first visit comes with a free toy! I work part time remotely so my schedule can be changed and worked around so no change in your pets’ schedules will be needed. For them it will be as if nothing has changed. I care for pets in my clients homes not my own home. I will come to your house and stay there essentially 24/7 to make sure your pets have optimal care.
About: Animals have always held a huge place in my heart! Since going to school in veterinary medicine, I’m experienced in caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I love spending time with fur babies and giving owners peace of mind knowing they’re cared for. Extra Skills:: • Administering Oral Medications • Working with Senior Animals • Nail Trims (Dogs and Cats) • Anal Gland Expression (Dogs only) I’m currently working part time so I have flexibility! My goal is to have clients I develop a good relationship with. My top priority is that owners trust me and so do their fur babies! I feel it’s very important to give clients the peace of mind that their pet is going to get the care and attention they need! Exercise and enrichment is very important for pets and I enjoy being the one to give it to them.
About: Hello, im Bryt! Ever since I can remember my family has always cared for pets. Along with always having a dog and cat around we even had a guinea pig and rabbit at one point. I have watched many pets of all different sizes and need of care. Although I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet sitting and have many reviews show if needed. I have flexibility in my work which allows me more time to spend with animals. My schedule is flexible so im able to make a good amount of stuff work. I treat the animal with respect and care. I love to go for walks or cuddle up depending on each pets needs and wants. I was a nanny for over 8 years and often house and pet sit for others so caring is second nature to me.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from cats to dogs. I have helped take care of my dogs at home by feeding them, bathing them, cleaning up after them, and administering their medicine. I am a graduate student here and hope to help out on weekends. My schedule can be busy, but I am willing to work around my schedule to best suit you and your pet! I would ensure that it is a safe environment, where dangers such as glass shattering or heavy objects are moved to safe places. I also want to ensure they feel comfortable, so taking the time for the animal to get to know me is important.
About: I have grown up mainly with dogs my entire life, but I have loved barn kitties and my friend’s cats like my own. I am experienced in training my own dogs, from basic orders to fun tricks. I am happy to handle dogs which are large or small, timid or energetic, etc. I have experience pet sitting both cats and dogs for friends and walking other peoples’ dogs, but I have less than a year of experience using a platform like this one. I truly love working with animals and I am ready to serve your pets to the best of my ability! I am a college student who is home for the summer and I would love to be able to fill my summertime with taking care of animals. Therefore, I am available to walk or pet sit any time of the week! When pet sitting in a client’s home, I am intentional when making sure that the pets feel safe and taken care of. I am willing to work with any quirks your pets may offer with the help of information beforehand from the client, but I can also be flexible. My main goal when pet sitting is to make sure that the animal feels safe with me and that they do not feel as though their routine is turned upside down by me.
“We are so pleased to add Karissa to our dog sitting team! She truly loves dogs and was wonderful with our shy/reactive dog. She sent photos and notes that helped give us peace of mind while gone. Karissa is dependable and does a great job!”
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a baby and i’ve always loved being around them. I was always the designated caregiver in my family for our animals. I’ve had my own cats since I was 12! I absolutely adore getting to know any animals personality! Watching animals and being surrounded by them makes me feel like me. My job at Fedex is overnight from 8pm to around 8am! I’m typically available from 8:30am - 7:30pm, it just depends on how late our flights come in. Feel free to message me and ask about my availability, I always try to be super flexible! I have two cat carriers for my own cats that I can use if need be. I am also familiar with crate training! Whatever your requests are, I would be happy to abide by them. I also have a wet vacuum I can bring over in case there are any accidents that happen!
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I rescued Griffin in 2016 from a shelter in North Carolina. Since then we’ve worked a lot on his fears and training - all self-taught/trained. I have experience both with oral medications, and injections (although the only injections I've ever had to do were on cats). I worked at a vet clinic briefly for a summer helping out with the animals that had to stay overnight. On the weekends, your pet will get plenty of play time with me. During weekdays, I am available to stop by for quick 30 minutes walks, letting your pet out for the bathroom, and feeding. I work 9am-5pm Monday through Friday so services will be worked around that or during my lunch hour. I love animals, especially rescues, and look forward to meeting your pet! I work full-time for the State but I work remote 2 days per week and have a flexible schedule to allow me to be home on days that aren’t my normal 2 work from home days. Weekends I am around and will be able to give your pet all the care they need. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible so I always let them check out my place before releasing my dog from my bedroom. I’ll set up your pet’s bed or they can use any of the ones I have for my dog. Nothing is left out that your pet could be injured on as I have a dog of my own.
About: I started to house/pet sit in 2012 and have been doing it 2-3 times a year ever since. I mostly have taken care of dogs, but have taken care of a couple of cats. I have a full time job on the south side of Indy. I work Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:00. I’m able to feed and take outside before heading to work (if staying at a client’s house) and after work, can take out, feed, and hang out with the pet(s). At a client’s home, I make sure dogs go out and potty and run around if they want to. I always check to see if the pets have plenty of water and give treats, per client’s directions. If a pet has an accident in the house, I will clean it up.
About: I have had dogs and cats as pets for all of my life. I love to be where animals are and take care of them like my own. Being able to be a comfort person to your own pets is what brings me joy! I am a teacher and will be starting school on August 3rd. As of now my schedule is open, but once August comes my schedule will change to being available after 4:15pm and weekends! Thanks for looking at my profile and I would be glad to meet your little ones :) I have a dog at home that is reactive to other animals, so all home sitting will be at clients house. When there I make sure I treat the space and the animals as if it/they were my own.
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have looked after and cared for pets since childhood, and would love to add your pet to my roster! I am a massage therapist working 4 days a week. I am available all day on Wednesdays, and Friday afternoons to take your dog for a walk, feed your cat, or hang out with your furry friend! I am flexible to work with you and your pet to best suit their needs. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, hang out with them at your house, or take them to my fenced in yard where they can run either by themselves or with my dog.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avon
Kathryn has been great watching and entertaining our two dogs while we're at work late. She's been super responsive anytime we have questions. Since meeting her at initial visit, I could tell she really loved animals and has a history of working with animals professionally which really put me at ease since one of my pups is pretty medically fragile. I can trust that they're both in great hands!
Alisa was amazing with Dusty and Toby! She took such great care of Dusty, our dog, and Toby, our cat, while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Alisa was caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about both of them and made sure they were happy and comfortable. We came home to two happy pets, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would definitely have Alisa watch Dusty and Toby again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐶🐱
Lindsay was amazing!! I was nervous at first since my 2 toy poodles are blind and special needs babies. Lindsay was amazing with them she took the extra time needed with them and my 2 cats even warmed up to her right away and they usually hide from people they don't know. I will definitely use her again!!! She is fabulous!! Thanks Lindsay!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Avon is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,436 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Avon. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Avon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Avon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avon. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
