“Joe is helping me out big time with my baby Joey. I am using him recurringly so Joey can get some exercise midday. I would highly recommend. Joey looks forward to going on walks with Joe.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and hands-on experience with all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing gentle, specialized care. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, administering medications, and keeping routines consistent. I’m also dependable, patient, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I balance my studies with pet sitting by planning my schedule carefully around walks, feedings, and playtime. Caring for animals gives me a meaningful break from school, and I genuinely enjoy the responsibility. It keeps me active, focused, and connected to something I truly love doing. I care for pets by sticking closely to their routine, whether in my home or the client’s. I make sure they’re fed on time, have clean water, get daily walks or playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping their space clean. In my home, I create a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I take pet care seriously and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.
About: After being laid off from my tech sales job, I picked up dog sitting and quickly realized I never wanted to stop! Since my travel schedule prevents me from having a pup of my own right now, watching your dogs is the absolute best way for me to get my daily fix. While living in Austin, I regularly provided walking, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding for my neighbors. I am super responsive on my phone, so feel free to message me anytime with questions or to set up a meet-and-greet! I work from home in Carmel, IN. I’m in sales so my schedule is pretty flexible. My company loves dogs so I definitely have time to go for walks during the day! I am open to boarding dogs as well as doing visits in your home! I love going for walks as well as dog cuddles. Message me with any questions!
“Kristen is fantastic. She is communicative both with scheduling and about her time with my pup. She is so good to him and he loves his time with her. I don’t have to wonder if Kristin will show up or be on time. She always is. I’m so thankful.”
About: I've cared for all kinds of fuzzy friends since I was little; I've been around everything from horses, to goats, to chickens, to dogs of all sizes, to llamas. I have a 5 year old Wheaten Terrier named Dash that is my entire world. I work from home, so I'm able to assist you with walks and drop-ins during the way when you're away! I work from home, so I'm available to help while you're gone throughout the day and into the evening! I have regular availability Monday through Friday and am happy to drop by for a visit or a walk. Regular walks, plenty of attention, and a clean, comfortable environment while I carefully follow each pet's routine! My Wheaten has quirks, so I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need for your family.
“Keli has dropped by and taken our dog for a walk a few times now and she is fantastic! She sends great updates/pictures during the day, and you get the sense that she really cares. She has always been punctual and thorough - thoughtful too. We will definitely be booking her again! :)”
“We hired Jan to handle our 75 lbs golden retriever during our family photoshoot. She was wonderful and even worked through his pulling as he wanted to lead and be in pictures. She even helped grab his attention so the pics could turn nicer. I’d definitely hire her again!”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands on experience. I've raised dogs and cats, fostered animals in need, and regularly look out for local strays. From furry friends to tank-dwellers with gills, I love them all❤️ I’m currently working part time, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to my schedule. I am in the middle of a weigh loss journey, so I appreciate as many walks as I can get in-always more fun to have a furry friend to join! My dog is a rescue who wasn’t treated kindly before joining our family. He sure does love his feline brother and sisters, but he isn’t fond of other dogs making it impossible for dogs to come to our home. I am open to care in yours!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats with and without supervision since I was probably 12-15. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for around 3 years, and have 4 furry friends at home! I am starting a full time job on Aug 31st so until then I am completely open to care for your pets! I am living away from home and would love to get my animal fix in whenever I can! I treat pets with love, care, and respect. Animals deserve so much love, and I like to show that to them. At home, I play with my dogs and cats, feed them, take them on walks, etc!
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. Back home I have 2 huge pups that I care for! I have a lot of experience with not only my own dogs but also, my neighbors and close friends have hired me to help out. I’m a local student so I’m looking for some extra work on the weekends and after class. My schedule is pretty busy with school so weekends are the best time for me. Back home, my dogs have an electric fence and sleep inside the house. As a current college student, I will not be able to care for overnight pets.
About: I’ve grown up around many dogs and cats, and my family has always trusted me to make sure their fur babies are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with animals of any age or size and always give them the love and attention they deserve.” I’m part time as of now but my part time job is quite flexible. I am home in the mornings and leaving later in the day for work. We have a fenced yard that’s designated strictly for potty breaks. Our larger yard is not gated, but our current dog is trained to stay within its boundaries using an invisible fence. Additionally, we have a separate gated area in the laundry room for secure indoor containment when needed.
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with years of experience. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m currently taking a one-hour class Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and work part-time Tuesday–Thursday from 3–5 PM. I have flexibility outside these times! I’ll care for your pets in their home by following their normal routine and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates while you’re away, and of course send pictures!
“Awesome! Would give 10 stars if possible. Stefanie came in clutch when I didn't have a walker. She sent me pictures of my happy pooch while I was working. Very easy to work with! Highly recommended!”
About: I have owned and cared for several types of cats and dogs, as well as all ages. I am comfortable taking care of kittens or puppies, and some of our older friends! I have administered medications to cats anddogs, as well as some invasive therapies such like fluids. I feel comfortable identifying potential ‘warning signs’ and/or health issues with cats and dogs. I currently work 3 shifts/ week and have a lot of availability on my days off. I do not have a typical 9-5 schedule, and can be available anywhere between 6am-10pm. I would love to work out a schedule with you to fit you and your furry friends’ needs. During my previous experiences with pet sitting, I always take the pet’s normal routine to be of the upmost importance. Having a regular schedule/ routines is important for the pet to feel safe and build trust. I currently own 4 animals, 3 lizards snd 1 cat- and take their care and wellbeing into the highest consideration with daily environment cleaning (includes tanks for reptiles, litter boxes for the cat, vacuuming, washing blankets, etc) medication management, and regular vet visits. I believe you can have multiple pets and still maintain a clean home, which is important for everyone’s health and safety. I incorporate this into my care for other animals as well in their homes.
About: I started caring for my family’s various pets around the age of 15. Ranging from West Highland white terriers to Australian Shepards to Great Danes, I love them all! In undergrad, I gained experience pet sitting my friend’s cats, lizards, and hamsters. I’m currently studying for the GRE and looking to make some extra money. I enjoy being active both inside and outside with animals, and have plenty of free time to make them feel loved. I have a good sense about the needs of animals, identifying their cues when they need more attention, walks, etc. If you have a particular schedule or behavioral program that you’d like me to implement, I can do that as well!

As before Melanie is amazing! This is the second time she has walked Maverick while I have been out of town and I wouldn’t choose anyone else. She is very patient and understanding she cares for Maverick and made sure to be careful with him due to his surgery. Maverick remembered her and did very well I’m so glad Melanie was available and very happy with the care she gave Maverick! I will always choose Melanie
Todd is AMAZING! He took the time to come meet Kody before he walked him the first time. He listened and really has a peacefulness about him. Our dog is dog reactive, and I really felt comfortable with Todd walking him. First time we have ever had a dog walker through Rover. I highly recommend Todd! He had such a great interaction with our Kody! Kody loved him! We will use Todd again! 🤩😊

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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 walker.
