“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”


“Josh is absolutely amazing! We have an older dog that gets very anxious (doesn’t eat, vomits, walks around whining). Under Josh’s care, he was relaxed, happy, and thriving the whole time we were gone! He is very detail-oriented, communicative, conscientious, and responsible and took flawless car of the house and dogs and even watered our flowers! I highly recommend him as a dogsitter; he is certainly the one we’ll call first when we travel in the future.”


“Lauren did a great job taking care of our house and our anxious dog! We also really appreciate her fitting us in on short notice and being flexible with her schedule.”

About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs, I’m all about making dogs feel happy and loved. I’ve helped with feeding routines, giving medication, and providing calm care for anxious or shy pups. Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat them that way every time. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins or walks on weekdays and weekends. Your pets will get lots of attention and playtime while you’re away! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like you would. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide.

About: I have taken care of all different types of animals since I was a kid. I have alot if experience from young to old animals.

My work routine helps me stay organized and punctual, which translates well into consistent feeding times, walks, and medication schedules for your pets. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and giving them the attention they need when their owners are away. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs.

I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I make sure they always have clean water, proper meals, and a cozy space to relax. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and do my best to keep the pet’s routine consistent — whether it’s feeding times, walks, potty breaks, or medications.

“We had a fantastic experience with Matthew as our dog sitter while we went out to dinner to visit family in Greencastle, Indiana. He watched our two dogs for about 3.5 hours and did an excellent job. Matthew was professional, punctual, and took great care of them. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when we returned, and it was clear that Matthew genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
