“Ashley was amazing! Even my most shy kitty felt safe enough to come out and play during her visits. Loved all the pics and updates throughout my time away from home :)”
“We boarded our dogs for overnight trips and while we knew they were safe and well-tended, they'd come home hoarse and exhausted. But we recently adopted an tiny, older dog who was abandoned and left alone to fend for herself for a week and I just couldn't do it to her. Rover was recommended in the Nextdoor app and that's where we found Ava. She came by a few days before we left to meet the dogs and get familiar with her responsibilities, then stopped in multiple times a day for 6 days to take care of Jake and Miss Bonnie at home while we visited our grandchildren two states away. Ava gave us daily updates (including photos!), took the dogs out to play, gave them lots of love and attention and we came home to two happy, healthy dogs! I'd recommend Ava in a heartbeat. Our babies will never stay in a kennel as long as Ava is willing to watch them! I'd even change a vacation schedule to make sure it fit with hers! She's awesome! Thank you, Ava!”
“Danielle is great!! She has taken care of our dog and cat over long periods of time and we just had her on a multi-visit day to allow us to visit family out of state. She is always on time, a great communicator and, has a great sense of humor.”
“Kathy was dependable and provided comments with pictures of each day's activity while we were away. She also took the time to have a meet and greet in advance of our scheduled pet sitting. We recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Karmen! She is very nice and knowledgeable. We have 2 hard headed German shorthair pointers and one was stuck on a bird during her visit and she was able to get her back inside! Everything else went very smoothly. 10/10 experience!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats for most of my life, and truly got to experience full ownership in my early twenties. I have learned so much about and from these loving furry friends from raising 3 litters of puppies to training and loving my own pups to caring for my friends’ fur babies. I have experience with elderly furry pups, along with administering medication both in pill form and topicals. For the past 15+ years, I’ve been the proud dog mom to my red Min Pin. I also had the pleasure of raising my cat from a kitten during Covid until he proudly became my parent’s ES animal. I taken a great deal of care with my dog’s diet, health, and well being as his aged into an elderly yet spry dog. He’s had an injury to his heel prior to us meeting, but I was able to care for him and understand what the best plan would be to ensure he lives a normal, crazy, uninterrupted, fun, full Min Pin life. I want to be able to provide the same love, care, and understanding for your fur baby. They are what keeps us happy and loved humans :) I, primarily, prefer to care for smaller animals, since I’ve been a dog mom to Corgi mixes and Min Pin breeds. I currently have an open schedule which will give me ample time to care for, play, and provide companionships and care to your fur baby while you’re away. I have a comfortable and pet friendly environment where it’s a quiet, peaceful, and easy walk. I have a deck for pups who enjoy some sun and fresh air and a cat tree to entertain any possible kitty cat visitors.
“Nakia did a great job with Sophie. She was on time, text me with the status of how Sophie was doing during her visits, and provided pictures of their little walks. Soph seemed like she had been well cared for during our time away. I will contact Nakia for future Rover needs!! Highly recommend.”
“I had to leave home for what I expected to be a very stressful weekend which included leaving my pets. As soon as I met Valerie I knew I my pups would be in good, reliable hands. I did not worry about my pups for one minute while away which made my trip so much more enjoyable. Valerie sent 5-7 pictures at every visit and I could see my pups were having a blast. Thank you Valerie and hopefully you will be available again to hang my girls.”
“Madeline was so loving to my boys on her drop in visit! She was able to come last minute and gave me a very detailed recap of their time together that put me at such ease! Will be booking again.”
“Justin was very helpful and made a friend in our Joshua.I would hire him again . He took care of Joshua like he was his dog.He was giving us constant updates on Joshua. Even sent a few pictures which was wonderful. One of the best sitter we ever had..”
“Makinsey did great watching my pup after her spay surgery! I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone during her recovery, but Makinsey was so good with her and even got her to take her medicine (which she is really stubborn about).”
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 been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels for years! I love all dogs and am looking forward to getting to know yours. I even had a pet rabbit for years if you’re in need of a bunny sitter! I currently work full time, but am available for a 30 minute walk or drop in over my lunch hour during the week days! I frequently walk at Cool Creek Park and would love to bring your companion along! Safety, trust, and fun are my top priorities. I’ll make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and love—with updates and photos along the way.

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!
Nakia did a great job with Sophie. She was on time, text me with the status of how Sophie was doing during her visits, and provided pictures of their little walks. Soph seemed like she had been well cared for during our time away. I will contact Nakia for future Rover needs!! Highly recommend.
I always dread leaving my cat when we travel overseas, because he is needy and doesn't do well alone. Mackenzie was reliable and great with him. She sent tons of pictures and I found myself enjoying this vacation more than others in the past because I knew he was getting a lot of attention.
Karly was awesome! From our first meet and greet, I knew Ollie was going to love her. Doing these drop ins helped me out in an awkward time being out of town, so really thankful she was available and loved on my boy while I was gone! Definitely will use her again next time I need drop in visits 🥰
