About: I am very well organized, love being around animals and will make sure your pet is loved, comfortable, well fed and well taken care of! I currently only work 3-4 times a week for 4-5 hours at a time, so I am very available and willing to take the time for your pet! I have a large dog who is very well trained and I am very good with his feeding and potty schedule! He truly is my best friend!
“Once again Alexa watched Dave and Sug. Her level of care is outstanding! Also gave me a few tips on Daves eating habits. She is much appreciated and will always be my go to sitter!”
“Brittany dog sat in our home for 5 nights and was amazing! Very responsive, sent pics of our pups, and took care of the house very well. She is very sweet and our dogs loved her. I would recommend her to others and hire her again!”
“Heather was very communicative throughout the weekend, and did a great job with house sitting and taking care of two dogs after very short notice from us. She also left the house clean and left us a small gift, which was very nice.”
About: Hey, my name is Bailey and I love working with animals. I grew up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, but most importantly cats and dogs. When I was a kid my grandparents bred puppies and I would help take care of them. Moving forward anytime someone needed help feeding and walking their dogs I volunteered. I have dog sat many times and had dogs come to my house a few times as well. I have one dog myself, a pit mix named Goofy. I work part-time and am off on Mondays and Wednesdays. I start work at 8am almost everyday and get off at either 1pm or 2pm except Sundays when I get off at 3:30. I'm available for overnight stays and can walk and feed your pet both before and after work. I consider myself very active and will be happy to take your dogs on plenty of walks. I can walk around your neighborhood or take a quick trip to a nearby park. I love playing with dogs and cats, especially laser and fetch. I love fetch. I have a special needs cat and I make my own food and treats for my dog so if your animal has any dietary or medical requirements I will happily rise to the occasion.
“This is the second time we have had Chris stay with our two dogs while out of town and both times we have had great experiences. The dogs love him and are always happy and healthy when we get home. We got regular updates and I feel he went above and beyond in many ways. I would absolutely use him again! Thanks, Chris! The girls miss you!”
“Andrew was an absolute godsend while we were away!!! He took the BEST care of our dog, and sent us cute photos and videos each day! He truly listened to what we wanted for our dog (who is older and a little stubborn) and went above and beyond in terms of caring for her like his own beloved pet. He checked in with us to ensure that we were ok with certain things, and did an amazing job of keeping us reassured that things were all a-ok, which was particularly nice since it was our first time experiencing an in-home pet sitter. He left our house in nicer condition than when we left it. I’m pretty sure my dog misses him now that we are home! We have already told him we will be using his services again in the future!!!”
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
“I highly recommend Ariana for dog and cat sitting! Ariana took excellent and loving care of my two dogs and one cat. My 14 year old Brittany is lively and doesn’t always make it to outside. Ariana took great care of her and changed diapers. My four year old Puggle and nine year old cat are afraid of new people. But with just a few treats, they were eating out of Ariana’’s hand and wagging their tails! My pups & cat had a great time with Ariana, and my house was even cleaner than when I left for the weekend. I will be asking Ariana to watch my fur babies again and again! Thank you Ariana, I can start going on vacations again!!!”
“Brooke was a great communicator and was willing to come meet our pups in advance of the sitting. The house was just as we left it, and the dogs were happy campers when we got home.”
“I can't say enough good things about Kari! She stayed at our home with our dog and two cats for 10 days while we were out of the country. I was nervous since it was the first time we were away from our babies for so long, but Kari kept me updated (including lots of photos!) each and every day so that I was as comfortable as I could be. She treated our house respectfully and left it spotless at the end of her stay! Kari truly went above and beyond to give our pets and us the best care possible. I will be working with her again in the future and recommend her to EVERYONE in the Indianapolis area!”
“She was the absolute sweetest for all three of my pets, they absolutely loved her. She sends pictures and asks very good questions to better care for your babies. She even set time aside to meet before hand which was such a great help”
“This is the second time I have trusted Michelle to care for my two cats while away. Neither of my babies have shown stress upon my return and my home was cared for, which speaks to the level of care! I greatly appreciate the up dates Michelle provides. I will choose Michelle for my future cat care needs.”
“Repeat happy client! Our pets adore Abigail. She is responsible, responsive, and conscientious. She is also very knowledgeable about animal behavior and care. Highly recommend.”
“Karissa did a wonderful job taking care of our two large dogs, especially our toddler Rottweiler, who is mischievous and full of energy. We came home to a clean house, happy puppies, and we are definitely using her again.”
“Josh is absolutely amazing! We have an older dog that gets very anxious (doesn’t eat, vomits, walks around whining). Under Josh’s care, he was relaxed, happy, and thriving the whole time we were gone! He is very detail-oriented, communicative, conscientious, and responsible and took flawless car of the house and dogs and even watered our flowers! I highly recommend him as a dogsitter; he is certainly the one we’ll call first when we travel in the future.”
“I highly recommend Samantha. She was very diligent in caring for a somewhat complicated schedule for several types of animals. When we returned the animals were happy and well cared for. She also house sat for us. She is very respectful of our property and the house was left in immaculate condition! We could not have been more pleased and it is such a relief to have someone we can trust with our animals and our home. Hire Samantha! You will not be disappointed.”
“I am so grateful we found Kristen! She was reliable, professional, and cared for our dog Bella like her own. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Kristen is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would absolutely use her services again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Boggstown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boggstown on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,331 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boggstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Boggstown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Boggstown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Boggstown 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!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
