“Ross was fantastic with our more cautious, senior dog. And even noticed something was bothering my younger dog’s skin. And when I told him where her spray was, he made her feel better. It was easy to relax while away knowing our pets were in good care.”
“Alexis did a great job with my dog, Gidget. Alexis fed her, took her outside and stayed with her until she finished her business. She also sent me photos showing that Gidget ate and went outside. Much appreciated! I will hire Alexis again!”
“We had such a great experience with her! She played with our dog, gave her lots of love and attention, and sent the cutest photos and updates. It was so nice knowing our dog was in good hands, and we could tell she really cared about her. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her watch our dog again! 😊”
“Haley has been an exceptional pet sitter for both of my pugs. Stewie is younger, wild and anxious, but sweet and loves to play. She shows him plenty of attention and takes the time to play with him. Lily is older, blind and has other medical issues and she always shows such gentle care. Recently, she got sick and Haley called me to alert me and even contacted the vet to pre-arrange an appointment. Haley also takes several photos, is flexible and gives very detailed notes. You never have to worry about your fur babies because they are in good hands. Definitely 6 star service!!”
“Anna did an awesome job taking care of our girl while we were put of town! She gave regular updates and shared pictures to help put our minds at ease while we were away! I didnt have to worry about a thing! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been a trusted pet sitter by family members, neighbors, friends, and coworkers for over ten years. I have experience with all kinds of critters, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I recently lost my senior rescue cat to cancer, so I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. My goal as a pet-sitter and dog-walker is to make your pet as happy as can be until their favorite people come home! I work remotely on Tuesdays and Fridays and would be able to provide in home visits or dog walks anytime throughout the day. My availability is more flexible on weekends. I am very adaptable and experienced with animals, so I am willing to learn and follow any instructions given to best care for your pet.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have had a cat & dog of my own for the past 4+ years. I’m very comfortable administering medication, handling special accommodations, and making sure they feel safe and cared for in any situation. My animals have given me plenty of experience with car rides, new spaces, and meeting new people, so I understand how to keep them calm, safe, and happy. Friends and family have relied on me many times to care for their fur babies, and I really do enjoy spending time with them! I work a general 8am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday, but i have 1 & 1/2 days working from home a week. I am willing to work with anyone and be flexible during those work from home days. I can do long walks on my 1 hour lunch break, or work from home at your place if need be! I don’t work on the weekends, so i have plenty of time to do drop ins, take your dog on a couple walks, or just hang out with your fur babies for the day! Again, there are many times where im flexible with holidays, weekends, & some weekdays while im working from home. I’m newer to the indianapolis area, so i have only watched animals for my coworkers thus far. But my dog, Moose (who is 2 1/2), goes on a 30-45 minute walk a day at least, is crated when i’m not home, is given a medication for anxiety every morning via sliced turkey and peanut butter lol, and is taken on at least one car ride a week because he loves them! My cat, Smokey, is very social and playful, although self-sufficient, is very needy, so i have plenty experience with a needy animal. Both Moose and Smokey get along great, and i’ve loved being a mama to the both of them! Both of my babies are very friendly with other animals and are trained well. I have plenty of experience accommodating the needs of different animals and different personalities!
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Debbie provided for my Peter! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear she cared about animals. Debbie kept me updated with adorable photos and little notes about my dog’s day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Debbie is also very communicative and responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone.”
“Amanda did a great job while I was out of town for a week. She kept me updated and sent me cute pictures. My senior kitty requires lots of care so it was great to know they were in good hands. Thanks again!”
“Kristina was GREAT!! I made many changes & she accommodated all of them with no problem. My kitties are so scared of new people, but they came out of hiding for her which says a lot. I would definitely book her again. Thank you!!”
“Ellen is always so great with our boys. I messaged her midday on 1/15/25 if she could drop in for 30 min on 1/16/25 since I had to travel last minute for work and my spouse was in Detroit for work and wasn’t landing until 6:45pm. She not only promptly replied but moved a few things around in her schedule to accommodate. We never have to worry when we are away, your fur babies and your home are in great hands. Having had several bad experiences with other sitters from Rover we are very pleased to have found Ellen!”

I provide patient, dependable care for adult and senior dogs, including dogs with special needs or oral medications. I take time to earn your dog’s trust, follow instructions carefully and watch for changes in appetite, energy, behavior or mobility. Your dog receives attentive care, affection and exercise without being rushed. Neighborly Pet Care is more than a name—I grew up here.

I primarily serve Meridian-Kessler, Broad Ripple, Forest Hills, Warfleigh, Meridian Hills, Williams Creek and nearby neighborhoods. Standard walks and drop-ins are 30 minutes. For multiple pets, detailed routines or pets who will be alone for much of the day, I may recommend a 60-minute visit at my additional Rover rate. I understand how important it is to find someone who will provide the same love and detailed care your pet receives from you. I use a calm, patient approach and carefully follow your routines and safety instructions. I respect your pet, home, belongings and privacy. My favorite part, you will receive photos and a detailed Rover update after every drop-in or walk.
“Leah did exceptional walking & caring for my large dog who has some anxiety. Would definitely book her again without hesitation! She will make you feel at ease when away from your pet & also make your pet comfortable and cared for”
“I was so happy to have Christy watch our two dogs last minute for a family emergency. Christy came to our home morning, afternoon, and dinner to feed, play, and walk the dogs. Received lots of photos, and good communication. I highly recommend Christy and will definitely use her services in the future.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Broad Ripple
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Broad Ripple is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $35 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,609 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Broad Ripple. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Broad Ripple. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
