“We ended up needing a last minute sitter and we were so lucky to find Phyllis! She was very responsive and kind! She took such great care of our pups and helped ease my mind. We actually booked her again for the following weekend and am thankful for her kindness and gentleness.”
“Kendra was great with Jocko! She brought her golden along (she asked if it was ok first) and Jocko and Birdie seemed to have a great time together. She sent plenty of updates and was very personable. We highly recommend Kendra.”
“I love that Aimee came for a very thorough "meet n greet". Aimee was wonderful with our two dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. She always got back to me as soon as I texted her. Thank you Aimee for allowing me to feel as ease right away with leaving our babies. Overall positive experience. Thank you.”

About: 🐾 A Little Country Getaway for Your Fur Babies! 🌾 Hi there! We're a husband-and-wife duo who have had pets in our lives for as long as we can remember. To us, animals aren't just pets — they're family! ❤️ We live on 36 beautiful acres and would love to welcome your four-legged family members to our little slice of country life! Think fresh air, new sights and smells, plenty of attention, and all the love and snuggles they could ask for. 🐶🌳 We know leaving your pets behind can be hard, so our goal is to make their stay feel like a true home away from home. Whether your pup loves exploring outdoors, enjoying a leisurely walk, playing, or curling up for some cozy cuddle time, we'll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. 🌾 Country living meets everyday convenience! We're conveniently located just off State Road 44 between Franklin and Indianapolis, making us a potentially convenient stop for commuters heading into the city. Whether you're off to work, planning a weekend getaway, or heading out on vacation, your pup can enjoy their own little country retreat while you're away! 🐾 Safety always comes first. Although we have 36 acres to enjoy, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks around our property are always on leash. We want your pups to enjoy the fresh air and country surroundings while keeping their safety our top priority. As a husband-and-wife team, we bring a lifetime of experience with animals, plenty of enthusiasm for making new furry friends, and double the love to share. We'll treat your pets like our own and do our best to make their stay a happy, comfortable experience. ❤️ We know they're more than just pets — they're family. And when you trust us with your family, we'll do everything we can to make you feel good about leaving them in our care. Your dog's country getaway is waiting! 🐕🌾 We can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! A Home Full of Love (and Plenty of Belly Rubs!) 🐾 I'm a stay-at-home mom, and my husband works from home, so our home has a extra flexibility for welcoming your fur babies! Having us both home for much of the day means your pup can enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and opportunities for supervised outdoor time. We love the idea of making your dog's stay feel less like traditional boarding and more like visiting friends. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, leashed walks around our 36-acre property, or simply lounging nearby while we go about our day, we'll do our best to make them feel comfortable and right at home. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and we'll do our best to accommodate their needs while keeping safety a priority. We love having animals around and look forward to making your pup part of our little country home while you're away! ❤️🌾🐶 First time booking?! Use code CHELSR69690 for $20 off! Safety First, Love Always! 🐾❤️ Our home is a family home filled with love for animals, and we want every pup who stays with us to feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. My husband and I have had pets our entire lives, so we understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and quirks. We live on 36 acres in the country, giving us a beautiful setting to enjoy some fresh air and explore new sights and smells. All outdoor time is supervised, and walks are always on leash. We never allow dogs to roam freely around the property because their safety is too important to us. We also understand how important it is to maintain your pet's usual routine. We'll discuss feeding schedules, medications, allergies, behavioral needs, and any special instructions with you before their stay so we can provide care that works for your pup. As a stay-at-home mom and a husband who works from home, we're both around much of the day, allowing us to offer plenty of companionship and attention. We'll respect your pet's boundaries, give them time to settle in, and make sure they have a comfortable space to relax. We know trusting someone with your fur baby is a big deal. Our goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pup a safe, loving home away from home. 🌾🐶
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
“Lexi was terrific. Jack and Duke don't like most people but they spent last evening looking for Lexi after she'd left. After we had a meet and greet with Lexi I had no worries at all about leaving the pups with her. I would not hesitate to leave them with her again!”

I have a safe environment where all pets can be themselves and feel comfortable in. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friends!

FAQs for House Sitting - Boyd
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 955 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boyd. 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 Boyd 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 Boyd 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 Boyd 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 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.
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.

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.
