Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!

About: As someone who has grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes from dogs to even a pair of pet rats at one point, I have always loved animals and will take any opportunity to spend more time with them! I have a senior dog named Buddy and a cat named Maple and would love to pour the same love I give to them into your fur babies by playing with them, walking them, and attending to all of their needs. My childhood dog Buddy is also blind, elderly, and diabetic, so I have experience and am very understanding of pets that may need special accommodations and/or medication. Not only do I have experience with the many pets I’ve grown up with and taken care of, but I also have experience working in a pet store and boarding facility taking care of any animals you can imagine. I am currently home for the summer from college and have pretty flexible availability and would love to fill my time taking care of your pets! I promise to give your animals the same love and care I would give to my own pets. I’m excited to keep your pets happy and healthy by walking them, playing with them, snuggling with them, and giving them the undivided attention they deserve.

About: Hi there! I worked as kennel staff at an animal hospital for over a year before I moved to Nevada, and then I worked at both and animal hospital and a grooming salon during the two years I lived there! (I have since returned to Northwest Indiana!) I took care of both cats and dogs(of all breeds and disabilities) and helped medicate and treat them! I have owned pets all my life, both cats and dogs, and have been their primary caretakers. I am heavily passionate about animals! I currently have two dogs and four cats. I am 23 and have a driver's license. I love animals more than anything, and would do whatever it takes to make your pets feel happy and safe in my company! I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of other people's pets! I live in a household with other people, so I'm more than able to housesit, as well! I love to keep animals company, and I will do whatever I'm asked to do to take care of someone's pet. If said pet is undergoing training of any sort, I'm willing to make sure that training is implemented throughout the visit, walk, or stay. I absolutely love giving furbabies my attention and love, but will go at the pets pace. I won't force my affections on an anxious animal.

Sharon and Mark are amazing! When I did my meet and greet with Sharon she was so nice and sweet and made me feel at ease in my decision to use Rover. I needed help walking my 2 golden retrievers due to my work schedule and Rover, Sharon and Mark have been a godsend. I was able to go to work and not have to worry about them. You are notified when they arrive, and after they are finished. They let you know where they walked, what they did and also sent a picture of them. For anyone that is looking to use Rover and is in the area of Sharon and Mark, I HIGHLY recommend them! I am truly grateful for this service and will use them again.

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

About: I’m currently employed at a local animal hospital, working specifically in the boarding department! Meaning my whole job is to be responsible of 20+ animals at a minimum. I have 3 years of experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs throughout my experience, including sweet, energetic pups, reactive or fearful dogs, strong pullers, and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable handling dogs with different temperaments and understand how important it is to stay calm, confident, and attentive in every situation.

I’m pretty flexible! With school i’m mostly not available during the day but weekends and breaks i am happy to stop by and care for pets! I prioritize animal care above all! I am very aware of all animals needs and how i can meet them! I’d be honered to take care!

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter and have been around animals my whole life—they’re truly my passion. I’ve worked in a pet boarding facility and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have experience with reactive, nervous, and high-energy dogs, and I focus on patience, reading body language, and helping each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m trained in Dog CPR, First Aid, and basic training techniques, and I’m currently continuing to grow my experience in dog training. I’m also comfortable with feeding, walks, basic care, and pet transportation (vet, groomer, daycare, etc.). While you’re away, my goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m currently accepting dog sitting stays up to 3 nights so I can give each pet focused, quality care. I’m very flexible and happy to work with your schedule! At this time, I’m currently only accepting dog sitting stays of up to 3 nights. But I am completely available for walks and drop-in visits. I will always require a meet and greet before a first time service to make sure the pet is comfortable with me. I understand that I will be in the dogs territory and will act accordingly! I offer walks and drop-in services which can include feeding, playing, potty breaks, and anything else that may be necessary for the dogs care and comfort!

About: Hello, I'm Rebecca. I'm 28 years old. I've always been an animal lover. I live with my parents who have had multiple dogs over the course of my lifetime. Being the only child still living with them, I've become their dog sitter anytime they leave for a trip, etc. I began experiencing disabling health issues right out of high school and resorted to dog sitting as a way to make money as I was not able to hold a "real" job. I grew to love it. I'm healthier now and looking to find more opportunities outside of friends, family, and neighbors. I would love to broaden my horizons and care for fur babies full time. I'm currently unemployed and have a very open schedule. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and anything in between. I know how to administer medication and clean up accidents due to my past elderly dogs having health complications. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. After the passing of my 9 year old rabbit in June 2025, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Only a couple months later, I started dog walking for a woman in my neighborhood daily and it helped me through the grief of losing my bunny. That's what caused my desire to dog sit/walk to grow even more. It is said that "time heals all wounds" but the unconditional love from a furry friend really helps pass the time. I'm also a house plant lover. If needed I can water and care for any houseplants during overnight sittings. No more worrying about your beloved pets or plants while you're away! With me you can have peace of mind that they're all in good hands. I'm currently unemployed. I have a very open schedule except for weekdays from Noon-1pm (when I dog walk in my neighborhood). I have 2 separate church events scheduled on the 4th Saturday of every month. Scheduling walks or drop in visits can be tricky that day because the events don't always have a set time. I can dog sit at your home on those 4th Saturdays as long as I am able to leave for a couple hours for the events. During drop-in visits/walks I rinse and refill water bowls, replace empty treat toys, clean up any accidents that may have occurred, play with your fur baby to release any pent up energy they might have, and complete any other duties you may have for me. I pay close attention during potty breaks and notify the owners if anything is out of the ordinary. When dog sitting I can stay at your home overnight if needed. If not I can check in as often as you'd like. I can provide updates through out the day and pictures so cute you'll want to frame them.

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

My dog and I were very happy with the care Julie provided. She walked my dog in the rain while I was at work, and I really appreciated her reliability. I was worried the weather might cause her to cancel, but she still showed up and took great care of my dog. Julie is professional, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We look forward to booking with her again. 😊
