“Emily and her family were wonderful with Bella. They were understanding and supportive of her separation anxiety, making me feel at ease while I was out of town. Bella came home happy and loved; I am so grateful that I found Emily. Definitely hope to book her the next time we go out on vacation.”
“Tracy was fantastic. Our dog got sick with bladder stones and she was willing to take him to the vet and administer meds for him. She was responsive, kind, and took a ton of photos while we were gone. Would highly recommend.”
“Savanna did an amazing job taking care of our kitten! She was very accommodating to his needs and ours--meeting us first and discussing all the details, feeding him as often as he needed at his age. We got pictures and videos of him while we were on our trip. He was in great hands!”
“Stacy was so wonderful to our 2 yard old Golden Doodle! Her house is a friendly place and the whole family loves dogs. Stacy sent us plenty of updates throughout the days she cared for Kaia in her home of both dogs playing, sleeping, and eating. Let Stacy be your dog’s home away from home!”
“Maelynn and her sweet pup Mac and her darling kitties were amazing!! Maelynn took such good care of our pup and kitty while we were out of town. She took Milo on walks and gave him plenty of time outside. Mac is such a doll and welcomed Milo too the second we got there. We so appreciate you all and would highly recommend!”
“Racheal did a wonderful job of watching our Buddy when we were away for a week! He got all his meds and Racheal was able to send us pictures of Buddy having fun!!!”
“She did a great job with Anubis. She was able to take him under extremely short notice and it went as smooth as if I booked a week in advanced. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life — my family has always had both dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I had 3 cats at once growing up in my moms house as well! I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, training basics, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention. I have an equal amount of love when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes — from small cats and puppies to large, energetic dogs. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or a long walk for exercise, I enjoy adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine since I am available most of the week. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings on those days, and I can adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I do live in an apartment, but I also have a safe balcony that your pets can get fresh air and relax on if they like being outside often! I always treat pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. Whether that means following their feeding routine, giving them bathroom breaks, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling, I make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“We had Yvette watch over our Cavapoo Toby for the day while we were at the wedding at Indianapolis and she was amazing. She sents us updates and Toby come home happy, tired and relaxed.highly recommend and will be using her again if we visiting to Indiana.”
“Cannot say enough kind things about Mary and her husband Jack! Feel like Zeus is going to Family when they watch him. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy when I pick him up. It’s a vacation for Zeus when he comes. So grateful to have them, Mary is awesome, love her to pieces”
“I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Tilmer and his family! He had fantastic communication, and photos everyday with an update! I felt like my pup truly fit into their family and was so well loved over her week stay! Next time I go out of town I won’t have to even think about where my fur baby will stay, Tilmer!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Paula was a caring sitter, she always had an open communication through pictures and videos with us what reassured us Luna was doing great. She loves her own dogs and that same loving way was transmitted to our puppy. I would recommend her a 100%!!”
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”
“Rubal took great care of our elderly dog! She treated him the way he needed to be treated: extra gentle care and attended to all of his needs including giving him extra attention. She was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures each day. She is easy going and creates a calm, relaxing environment. It is obvious she loves animals and is flexible to their needs. We will definitely will use Rubal services again and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been a pet lover my whole life! I had pets growing up and as an adult. Over the last 20+ years, I had two dogs and they both lived to be 16. I would like to think that they lived that long because of all the love and care I gave them over the years. I recently lost my last one earlier this year and have decided to take care of others until I am ready to get another on my own. I currently work remote two days a week from home so I am available during the week a couple days and after work the days I go to the office. I am also around most weekends and willing to do drop ins or walks on those days too. I live alone, so I am happy to share my space with your fur baby. I am also able to come to your house to take care of them.
“Claudia was a perfect dog sitter for our weekend away. She was very welcoming to our sweet little boy, and took the time to ask all the right questions to make sure she cares for him properly. We would us Claudia again, absolutely.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Cartersburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cartersburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cartersburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cartersburg. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Cartersburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
