“Budget came last minute. She was a life saver for us. She did an excellent job of taking care of our goldendoodle and provided lots of texting and pictures. We will be calling on her again!”
“Tyler was very attentive when caring for our dog. We usually hesitant when leaving our dog with someone but Tyler was able to meet us prior to our first appointment and eased our concerns. We know things went well during his visit because his report card showed our dog brought out his toys - that’s a big win in our house! Thank you, Tyler! We will be booking you again soon!”
“Valerie was so great! When I couldn't get back to my dog because of a delay while I was out of town, she answered my request immediately and was able to take him for a walk within the hour.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own who I’ve cared for since they were puppies. I also have experience helping friends by walking and sitting for their dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable who treats pets like family. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs and company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat your dog the same way I do my own — with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I already build my days around caring for my two dogs, so adding pet sitting and walks fits naturally into my routine. Every morning and evening, I take them out for walks, playtime, and meals, and I love spending time outdoors with them. I also have flexibility in my schedule to stop in for drop-in visits, go on longer walks, or provide extra attention when pets need it. Because caring for animals is already part of my daily life, it’s easy for me to extend that same care to your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in following their established routines as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite playtime activities. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I would make sure they’re not only cared for but also feel loved and relaxed until their family returns.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and other exotic pets. I enjoy spending time and caring for animals, I try to keep them entertained or just relaxed. I often volunteer at IndyHumane with their dog day out program. I don’t have weekend availability due to my part time job. So throughout the week I have lots of time. I am available Monday afternoons through Thursdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, the priority shifts to maintaining their established environment to reduce stress. This includes following precise instructions for feeding, administering medication, and adhering to their regular walking schedules, while providing plenty of companionship and updates to the owner.
About: I love all things animals!! I grew up with a chocolate lab and an orange tabby cat who are so easy to love! I recently just moved to Indy and my pets had to stay back in my hometown with my family. With some free time on my hands, I would love to spread that love to more pets in the Indy area! I just recently moved to Indy and am missing spending time with my pets back home! This job will allow me to add pet care back into my daily schedule by living on each of your furry friends. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve. Weather it’s a belly rub or time for another treat, I will treat each and every animal like they are my own.
About: I've taken care of and owned dogs and cats for most of my life! I'm a teacher so my summers are open and flexible for your fluffy guys and girls. Whether you need someone to administer medicine or have someone play with your energetic one, I'm your sitter. I understand that some loved ones need patient and reassurance whether it's the 1st time or the 12th time. Just know your fluffy guy or girl is safe with me! I'm currently free for the most of the summer since I'm a teacher. I work part time on Saturdays at another job. I can look after your fluffy one during most days and times. I provide drop-in visits for your fluffy one. This can include walking, play time, feeding, medicine intake, potty break, clean ups, litter box cleaning, etc. My visits can range from 15 minutes to 1 hour - just depends on your fluffy one's needs. Clear instructions are always followed and I can provide fast responses if need be.

Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
Scott took great care of my very anxious golden retriever! Scott was reliable and kept Meeko on his schedule. He text me about his visits and sent me pictures. He not only let him out, he played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk. He even got Meeko to eat his food, which never happens when I am away! I highly recommend Scott and will definitely be using him again!
We loved Makenzie. So sweet and incredibly careful with our babies. She kept us updated, gave them so much attention, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference for us. Highly recommended!
Chloe is great! She is very professional and easy to communicate with. There was a bad snowstorm while we were away so we had to cancel one day, but she was quick to update me on road conditions so we could find back up. We got tons of pictures and I know our pets were well loved while we were gone! She also kept me updated when my dog developed a sore paw. I found it reassuring that she was keeping a close eye on him and letting me know any changes she noticed. We are so grateful for her help these past two weeks! Thanks Chloe!
Asked Hope to do a drop in visit with our dog while we were gone for an afternoon/ evening. She confirmed visit then asked follow up questions to ensure she knew exactly what we wanted her to do, communicated with us during the visit, and sent pics afterwards. She is very professional and caring. We hope to have her help with our dog again soon!
Hannah is amazing!!! I am always nervous leaving my fur babies with a new caretaker or kennel. I had to leave town very unexpectedly to care for my grandma who had fallen. I was in a real bind worrying about our dogs getting play time and being let outside for potty breaks for the 10 days I was gone while the hubby had long work days. Not only was Hannah very quick to respond but came the very next day to meet the family and dogs. She showed up every day on time and gave great feedback and pics of the pooches during each visit. She even brought them new toys and did a fabulous job of deep cleaning where one of the dogs got sick. She went above and beyond just coming over to let them out. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again.
