“Elizabeth and her husband, Josh were excellent caretakers for our pup, Huxley. He was so well cared for and ready to nap from all the fun he had once he returned home. We will reach out to them again when we need care.”

“This was our second time leaving our dog with Beth, this time for a week, and it was so nice not having to worry while we were away. Beth sent frequent photos and updates and I knew our baby was in good hands. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup time. We will definitely be using Beth again!”

“Took very good care of my babies while staying at his place. Was very resourceful and patient when my Pickles decided to play the hiding game and then started getting agressive. I appreciate Roy for watching and keeping my babies safe during the day.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”

About: For me, pet sitting on Rover is so much more than a job—it is a true passion rooted in 30 years of dedicated animal care experience. Over the decades, I have had the absolute joy of looking after all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. I know firsthand that every single pet is a cherished family member with their own unique personality and routine. Because of this lifelong background, I am incredibly adaptable; I know exactly how to keep up with a high-energy puppy, gently comfort a shy senior cat, or carefully manage specialized feeding schedules for your pets. I treat every animal in my care exactly how I would want my own pets to be treated: with endless patience, safety, and deep affection. Leaving a pet can be stressful for owners, so I always leverage my decades of experience to prioritize clear communication, reliability, and daily updates that give families complete peace of mind. I am fully confident in my ability to connect with and care for any type of pet, and I am dedicated to making sure both you and your companion feel completely safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work as a handy-man so my hours are flexible enough to need your pets every needs from stopping by and playing multiple times a day to sitting with them all day and night. I also have an animal friend home with pleanty of play area and 1 acre of fenced in yard for them to play. My 3 dogs and 3 cats welcome any animal into the household with open paws. My gentle giant st. Bernard and German shepherd are rough enough to play tug of war with the biggest of dogs but gentle enough to cuddle and protect a 5lb teacup Yorkie.
“Penny seem to settle right in with Elaine and Cal and the regular picture updates we received! Even when I arrived to pick her up, she barely wanted to stop playing and exploring!”

“Melissa and Andrew were great sitters and sent several updates with photos during my dog’s stay. They were very friendly and accommodating to my dog and he seemed to really enjoy his time with them!”

“Kelly was great! Charlie said he loved staying there and playing with her dogs. She even had all his stuff ready and helped me carry it all out to the car when I picked him up. We will definitely use her again!”


“Our Plott Hound "Larry" had a GREAT time with Carla and her family for the week! Carla kept us updated daily including pictures of all the fun they were having. Great place to stay and we'll certainly use Carla again whenever the need arises. Thanks Carla!”

About: I have many years of caring for my own cats (Jack & Jill growing up, and my foster cat Bucky now) as well as lots of experience dog-walking and home-sitting throughout college. I absolutely love making new friends with your pets and am happy to provide them less time alone or in their kennels I still have full-time work to accommodate (from 9am-3:30pm), but I work remote and am able to be flexible. I am available most evenings and weekends. Unfortunately my apartment makes me unavailable to provide care for pets away from your home. I look forward to caring for your pets in your yards, neighborhoods, or local dog parks however. I don't object to taking pets for a car ride if they enjoy those as well
“Valerie was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated on Champ’s daily activities with pictures and messages, which gave us a peace of mind. She is truly an angel on this earth. Champ absolutely loves her, and that says everything. I will always and I mean always book with Valerie. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Champ!”

“This was the first time I let my fur baby stay with someone that I did not know. I read through many of the reviews and selected Kaitlyn as my sitter of choice. She was a great communicator and very accommodating. Her love and passion for dogs was immediately apparent. My dog can take some time to warm up to folks but it did not take long for her to feel right at home with Kaitlyn. She sent me updates daily with pictures of Mae playing, lounging, and being herself. I would highly recommend Kaitlyn to watch your fur baby, unless I need her that week. ?”

“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”

“Amanda was very professional, I was very nervous leaving Sir. Winston who is deaf and partly blind. Within a few minutes of watching Winston get yo know his two new friends I was satisfied of the chose I made. Amanda took any photos of Winston during his two day stay and keep good communication between us during the stay to easy my loneliness while missing Winston. I will use Amanda for all my future boarding needs and look forward to many more stays. Looking for a great dog boarder who is professional and loves dogs as much as you do; then look no further Amanda is your choice.”
“Jared and Waverly have an awesome set up and took take care of my pups for an overnight stay. They also do a meet and greet with your pups and their regular doggy day care pups to make introducing pups smooth. I will definitely book my pups a stay with them again!”


“Jacqueline was very accommodating with our last minute plans and it’s clear that our golden had a very fun weekend! Definitely recommend and hopefully will use her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Central Barren home-away-from-home, 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 Central Barren.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Central Barren 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 , 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 .
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.
