About: We have a grumble of two pugs, two kids (8 and 9) I work from home so I have the time to take them out all day. We have had our pugs since they were babies, except for our late rescue who became paralyzed and needed our help with both urinary and fecal expression, as well as medications administered. We are experienced with puppies to older special needs dogs. We do not, at the time, feel comfortable with having aggressive breed of dogs in our home with our grumble of pugs or our children. We have a ranch home with no carpet, it is a very pet friendly home with a fenced yard as well. We are happy to help you with your fur babies too!~ I’m always home other than quick trips out to run the kids to sports or errands as I work at home so able to take them out very frequently Our yard is fenced, scenic view on a large pond, and extremely dog and kid friendly Our dogs and kids love to keep younger dogs busy and senior dogs cozy. They will feel right at home during their stay with us!
“Mandy did a wonderful job caring for our cats. She spent quality time with them each day and made sure medications were applied correctly. We would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
About: My name is Hannah, and I've been taking care of pets since a very young age. I love going on walks, no matter what the weather is, I will walk in any kind of weather just as long as the dog will walk. I like to take my time and build the pet's trust, even when they are shy at first. I always make sure I understand the information that is given to me. I love it when a pup gets used to seeing me, remembers my car, and gets so excited to see me. I did move from IL to Indiana, and i do have about 4 acres to run around to get some energy out. I use to work at a doggy day care. I stay at home taking care of any animal that i have for a petting sitting when i do not have a pet sitting I try to look for walks to meet new pets I have a fenced-in yard and also have about 4 acres of land. I take the pups out to use the bathroom and run them around to tire them out

“Mackenzie is absolutely the best! We have asked her to watch our cat Fuzzy on multiple occasions and she exceeds our expectations every time and our cat loves her! Mackenzie is professional and we can tell she really loves caring for our cat. We highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working as a veterinary assistant along with my genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being. I have experience helping with feeding routines, exercise, medications, basic grooming, and providing calm, patient care for both energetic pets and older animals who may need extra attention. I understand how important consistency and trust are for pets, so I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m also very dependable, organized, and communicative. I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have a pretty busy schedule balancing college, workouts/practices, and everything else going on. Since I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant before, taking care of animals has become second nature to me. I usually build pet care into my mornings and evenings with feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning up, and just making sure they’re getting attention and affection throughout the day. During the week, I also make time for things like washing bedding or toys, restocking supplies, and keeping up with overall health and wellness. Even when life gets hectic with school, stunt, lifting, or work, I see pet care as something that helps me slow down a little and brings comfort and consistency to my routine. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home and in a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure the environment stays clean and stress-free for them. Because I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, I pay close attention to animal behavior and health, including monitoring for changes in mood, appetite, or energy levels. I am comfortable helping with basic grooming, administering some medications if needed, and following any specific instructions the owner provides. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect the home by keeping everything tidy, following routines carefully, and sending updates or photos so owners feel reassured while they are away.
“Second time booking with Cailin and she was just as great as before! Very helpful and did everything we asked and more! Next time we need another sitter, we’ll be sure to contact Cailin again!”
“Crystal was great! Took amazing care of my little Sasha while we were on a trip. We have worked with Crystal before and are super happy with the care she provides. She will take great care of your pets. Thank you for being a wonderful sitter for Sasha!”
About: I absolutely love animals so much! My day revolves around caring for my pets and my children. All my life I have always had pets to love and care for. One day I dream to have a non profit animal rescue. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Dogs have always been in my life since I was a child. Now my two boys love to help care for our animals just as I did! Going on walks are one of our favorite things to do with our dogs. And long cuddles in my bed! Your dogs would be cared for just like they were my own and you would never have to worry that your baby went without love and attention in my care!
About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.
About: I’ve grown up and been around animals my entire life! I am comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. I spent my college years dog sitting!

I always adhere to the boundaries set by the owner, and always do my best to honor the routine your animal is so used to!
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! With 2 dogs at home and plenty of other pets within my extended family, I’ve had years of experience with dog sitting. From overnight stays to simple walks around the neighborhood, I love to spend as much time as possible with pets! I’m currently home for the summer, so I have pretty open availability! I am free any time from morning to evening on weekdays. Weekends I tend to be busier during the evenings, but I am pretty flexible regardless. I will care for and be attentative to your pets as needed. I am comfortable taking pets on a walk, feeding them, letting them play outside, or just giving some extra cuddles as needed!
About: Dog owner and animal lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for and training my Labrador Retriever. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I run my own pressure washing business, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting. Being self-employed allows me to manage my time well and make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while providing plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship in both my home and my client’s home!
About: Hello! My name is Chloe and I am 18 years old. I have had lots of experience taking care of animals since I was a child.

I have always had a passion for animals and would have a zoo if I could. I currently work 3-4 days a week either early morning or afternoon. I am always available on Monday and Friday! Please message me with any questions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get regular walks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.
Cedar Lake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Monica is fantastic! She was available last minute and able to come extra sessions when we found out we weren't able to get back in time from out of town. She leaves the place in great shape and sends pictures at every visit. We are so blessed to have found her!
Heathers been letting maisie out for about a year now and has always been reliable and maisie loves her. When my parents and I went out of town she was more than willing to also watch their dog as well. She is very trustworthy, reliable, goes above and beyond and always treats our doggies well
Katelynn did a great job! She arrived at the time I requested. She took lots of pics & let me know how my fur babies did during her visit. Our meet & greet confirmed to me her committment to the care & love of animals she has! I would definitely recommend her for any pet lover in need of top-notch care!
