“Brianna was amazing with my sweet little Bentley! She communicated with me throughout both days, and sent me pictures as well. Bentley was well taken care of, and excited to go both days. I will definitely book more appointments with Brianna in the future. Thanks again, Brianna!!”
“As always, Hank had the best time at Emily’s house today.. She’s THE BEST sitter in town and treats Hank as if he was part of the family!! Thank you SOO much Emily! 🌟🏆”
“Janet was absolutely wonderful! My dog Pumpkin stayed with her for the entire day for daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated and let me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Janet is so kind and caring, and it’s obvious she truly loves the dogs she watches. Her sweet basset hound, Mildred, is absolutely adorable too! Pumpkin came home happy, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands all day. I would absolutely book with Janet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little guy! 💕🐶”
“Jaclyn is the BEST! I was so nervous to leave my puppy with someone but he comes home with the biggest smile and I know he was well taken care of :) I can tell he plays hard over there with her dogs! Nothing but great things to say ❤️”
“Jessica is incredibly quick to respond, kind, patient, and clearly cares about each dog’s individual needs and safety. They have a beautiful home with a large, well-maintained fenced yard, and it’s obvious they go above and beyond to make the dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Amy did a great job of taking care of my dog. Would definitely recommend and would bring my dog back again here for daycare ! My dog came back home tired . Loved the pics and updates !”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me to take care of their pets every since I can remember, my most unique pet being a pot belly pig. I have trained 3 puppies and taken care of a senior dog over the last three years. I work from home four days a week and the one day that I go in to the office is only for four hours. While I am home your pet will be left out with me and if they need crated while I am gone I have one that can be provided. They have full access to the home, including the couch and bed. I live in a condo with a small yard. I have a 2 year old treeing walker coonhound for them to socialize with. We go on frequent walks in the neighborhood to stretch our legs and to the park.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including boarding, daycare, and dog walking. I've cared for pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs, and I've also worked in dog grooming. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I am always free. Unless I have something personal going on. I'm doing this to help myself raise money for school. My dream is to be a mortician and help make hard times just a little easier for families. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I follow the owner's instructions closely, keep their space clean and secure, and make sure they always have fresh water, food, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet like my own and want owners to feel confident leaving their furry family members with me! 🐾❤️
About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9+ years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while your pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.
About: I provide structured, attentive pet care backed by professional dog training experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — from young puppies learning routines to high-energy and large breeds that require confident handling. As the owner of SecureK9s, I’ve helped raise and care for over 100+ German Shepherds across the Midwest and have guided 50+ dogs through structured board and train programs. Because of this background, safety, supervision, and clear communication are always my top priorities. Dogs staying with me receive more than basic sitting — they get consistency, routine, exercise, and calm leadership in a home environment. I focus on making pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated and confident their dog is in experienced hands. I work from home and spend my days actively caring for and working with dogs, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are included in a structured daily routine that includes potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and relaxation time. Because dog care and training are already part of my everyday schedule, I’m able to easily integrate boarding, drop-ins, or daycare into my routine while maintaining a calm and safe environment. Your pet will receive regular interaction, monitoring, and care as part of my daily lifestyle. Dogs stay in a secure home with supervision, structured care, and regular walks or exercise at a nearby park just steps away. I’m Very flexible!
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
About: I’ve Took care and trained dogs and cats of all sorts since I was 11. I fed , bathed and walked them. Everybody relied on me to take care of their pets while they was at work or just away. I got so used to doing it I fell in love with it. I have a real strong passion for animals and I hope one day I become a vet. Dealing with cats and dogs would really help me. I am currently open to anytime after 9 and I’m open all week Monday through Sunday I have more than enough time to play and care for your furry baby. I don’t have a fenced yard but I do spend a lot of time outside and love walking I have leashes if your dog needs to be on one and I also have a crate in case your dog needs to be in one also
About: Hi, I’m Emma. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had a dog in the house. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and currently have a French Bulldog of my own. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments — from high-energy puppies to seniors who need a slower pace and extra attention. I also have experience with cats and grew up riding and caring for horses, including competing at the collegiate level. Whether you’re looking for daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well loved. 💡 Note: Dogs requiring extra care — such as seniors, those with mobility issues, or pets needing medical support — are booked at my Puppy Rate due to the additional time and attention involved. I know how important it is to find someone reliable who genuinely cares for your pet. I’d love to learn more about what your dog or cat needs to feel right at home! I currently work M-F 8-5 and take a lunch break daily lunch break. I work remotely so can block time in my calendar to accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I am usually open on the weekends. I live in an apartment complex near near multiple parks with great walking trails. Happy to hang with your pup indoors or go do something more active outside!
About: As a couple who has never met a dog we don’t love, we’d be thrilled to care for your dog when you need a helping hand! We have one friendly dog, Nelson, who loves welcoming new friends into our home. Between our work schedules, one of us is typically home throughout the week. We’re available for both overnight boarding and day sitting, depending on your needs. We have a fully fenced yard and love taking walks throughout the day as breaks from working at home. Our screened-in front porch is another favorite spot for dogs to relax, enjoy some fresh air, and keep watch over the neighborhood.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. My uncle use to be the neighborhood pet sitter, I’ve came across multiple different kinds of animals. I enjoy creating bonds with animals. It brings me joy! I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have time to care for and play with your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends at 12pm eastern time. I live in a neighborhood near a park to walk your pets and allow them to explore nature. Also, have a nice sized basement for shelter. They are welcome to roar around the house as well. We can discuss care plan for animals!

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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Barnard commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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 .
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
