“Chrissy gets a 5-Star review from our family. Professional, Caring,Organized. She took care of my 3 dogs and took excellent care of them. I had multiple dogs on meds and she took care of all that. She sent me pictures and updates during my trip , so that I could see how they were doing. Chrissy made me feel so comfortable .From the first time we met her , I knew that my dogs would be in great hands. Will definitely be using her service again. 100percent recommend Chrissy!”
“Wow, I was so pleased with Abbie as a sitter for our two 10 month old Winston & Riley. My anxiety level dropped from the pictures she sent, we would look forward to her updates. I could see the content in our boys eyes & the bonus was how her children loved on them during their five day stay. This stay was the first time using Abbie & Rover and will not be the last. I have bragged on Abbie to my friends that I was so pleased, which made my time away so much more enjoyable with no worries. We will be back soon.”
“The best part about leaving our dogs with Gabe is they are so happy to leap out of the car and run up to him! They are obviously very comfortable there. Thanks again Gabe for a worry free trip. We very much appreciate the work you do for us. You are a blessing!”
“Leeann has cared for our girl, Cami, on two occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provides excellent care, keeping us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding—always clear, timely, and professional. What truly sets Leeann apart is her dedication. When a snowstorm disrupted our travel plans, she didn’t hesitate to extend Cami’s stay for two extra days, ensuring she was safe and well cared for. That level of flexibility and kindness means the world to us. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does, we wholeheartedly recommend Leeann. Your fur baby will be in the best hands!”
“John and his wife Kelly took awesome care of our senior pup. They were fast with communication, gave her meds, and were very loving towards our girl. We will use them again!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“Josephine was able to take my request on short notice. We had a meet and greet the day prior to me dropping him off at a dog park and she had her 3 dogs as well as another potential client at the meet as well. All of the dogs got along great and Josephine is very knowledgeable and patient. She gave me advice for my pup for his anxiety for future stays. I am very appreciative.”
“Michelle is fabulous! I take my Australian Labradoodle to her and she cares so much about him. She goes on daily walks, plays outside with him, and keeps him safe. I feel so comfortable with him being there. Thanks again Michelle! We’ll be back.”
“Colleen and Scott are the absolute best!! They are the only sitters we trust to watch our dog Molly when we go out of town. I am one anxious dog mom//traveler and having them watch her puts my mind at ease. The best part is they keep us laughing with tons of pictures of Molly just living her best life at their house. I can tell they love Molly and treat her like their very own fur baby.”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“Sarah was great and my little girl doggy enjoyed playing with her little pups- also , I loved getting a video and a picture as well . I would definitely use her service again and recommend her as well.”
“Brendan was great - perfect fit for Crosley. Very communicative and I knew him and his kids cared for Crosley while we were gone! 100% recommend and will use him in the future”
“Gracie was so well cared for by this lovely family in their beautiful home. We know where we will look next time we need someone to care for her. Thank you Mariah, Anthony and family! Sarah and Gracie”
“We felt very confident having our 14 yr. old sheltie stay with Tasha and Joe. The day before we were to take her to their house, our dog developed bloody stools and required an emergency vet appt. Fortunately, she only required meds and Joe assured us he would give her the meds required and watch to see if any other issues appeared. They sent daily pics and updates. I was also gkad to know they had other dogs as I feel she enjoys the social interaction and helps her settle in better. She returns next week for another stay.”
About: We're CJ and Michael, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family for years. CJ is a resident physician, so she's calm, responsible, and great at following your care instructions to the letter. Michael works from home in consulting, which means your dog will have company, attention, and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, not just at drop-in times. We live an active lifestyle and love long walks, exploring parks, and spending time outside — so high-energy pups fit right in with us. Just as happily, we'll match a mellow dog's pace with couch cuddles and slow strolls. Your dog will be treated like family: exercised, loved, and safe. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. Michael works from home full-time, so your dog will have company and attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. Walks fit naturally into our daily routine: a morning walk, a midday break, and once CJ is home from work, we take a long evening walk that your dog is more than welcome to join. We're active on weekends too and love bringing a dog along to parks and around the neighborhood. Your dog will stay in our clean, dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We keep a consistent routine — regular walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. All walks are leashed, and we're careful about doors, gates, and anything a curious pup might get into. If your dog is crate-trained, we're happy to keep that routine going. We treat every dog like our own and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bright home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bright.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bright sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
