“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”
“Tammi is a true professional. This was my first experience with Rover, or any dog sitting experience. She took my two dogs on short notice, worked with my schedule even when I was late. I was unsure if my dogs would be okay with her other dogs. Tammi knew exactly what to do. She integrated them into the pack and sent me multiple pictures of their progress. I KNOW my girls were well taken care of with Tammi. They were happy and healthy when I picked them up. They even followed her in her garage while I was standing there! 🥰 If you are unsure of if this company will work for you, try Tammi. You will be glad you did!”
“Gracie was so well cared for by this lovely family in their beautiful home. We know where we will look next time we need someone to care for her. Thank you Mariah, Anthony and family! Sarah and Gracie”
“I was nervous about trying Rover because I had never used this service or left my dog at a person’s house before while on vacation. This was my first experience, Elizabeth was fantastic! You can tell she loves dogs, she sent pictures everyday of Pepe playing with her other dogs. I think Pepe really bonded with Eliza, I didn’t know how he would do, but it couldn’t have gone better…. I will definitely be calling Eliza again. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch Pepe:)”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“AMAZING!! Kymberlee single handedly saved our family vacation. At 10pm I loaded up this app and desperately searched for a dog ditter. My friend had just backed out on me last minute. I've never boarded Lulu. She's never really been around other dogs. Kymberlee was so gracious, kind, understanding and responsive during the entire 10 day dog sitting with daily messages, pictures and videos I never had a worry. Just WOW!!!!”
About: Howdy! I have had animals my entire life! I wish I could say that at some point during that journey I didn’t bear most of the responsibility for animals, but that’s just not who I am. I have grown up primarily with dogs, but as I got older we added cats, horses, goats, cows, chickens, even a mule. I have successfully (patiently) crate trained serval puppies. I have spent winter nights foaling horses, and bottle feeding calf’s, kids, and kittens. My love for animals only continues to grow with age. Do you ever look at your pet and get emotional because of how much you love them?? Because I do. And I couldn’t imagine treating any animal or human being without that same affection even if they aren’t mine. Being a pet owner is such a reward, but as humans we also have to experience travel and new memories along the way. I promise, whole heartedly to love your pet with as much love one can give. I promise to keep your beloved pet safe, warm, and fully loaded up on treats and kisses! (If allowed of course 😉) it is my job and duty to completely make you and your pet feel 100% at home and comfortable with allowing me into your life. I can’t wait to meet your pets! Pet care doesn’t “fit” into my routine. It just is my routine. There would never be a situation where I wouldn’t attend to your pets needs before anything else. Allowing and trusting me with your pet is a job I will only give 110% for. While I am primarily looking for a “regular” client, Someone who travels often, or goes out of town frequently. Someone who is looking for another constant in their pets lives. If this sounds like a typical situation for your family, I’d love to be considered to be your new sitter 🥰 I am also 100% accepting temporary clients as well! No matter how long, or how often you’re gone, I’d love to be the one considered!
About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. With decades of experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Over 25 years of experience. A lifelong love of dogs. Care you can trust. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie for your dog to play with. I am retired so I am home all day, every day. We love to go out and walk every day . I have a fenced in yard with wire all the way to the ground. My built in pool also has a safety fence. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie. My house is free for your dog to run around.
“Our pup, Murphy had a great time with Hannah! She sent frequent updates and photos while we were away for our 10 day trip. We felt completely comfortable and knew Murphy was in good hands with her, her pups and their nice fenced in backyard. We will definitely use Hannah in the future!”

About: I’ve been puppy raising my entire life. I can understand dogs & their body language well. I know what they need before they need it! Friends, family and coworkers come to me for play dates, dog walking, simple training questions, boarding, pet sitting & drop in visits for when they can’t always take their pet along with them. I am currently completing a certification in dog training, nutrition & behavior. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles & birds. I live pet care. I am currently available on weekends & mornings. Looking to cut back to part time soon to have more time to explore my passions. In my home they would be taken out on a long line if not on a walk. We would do stimulating mental games throughout the time spent when we are inside along with down time on their own raised bed. Inside tethering if needed. In a clients home we follow all care instructions provided. I work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible as far as boarding, walks & daycare goes. My schedule is completely accommodating to your pets needs. I am certified in Pet CPR & first aid. Your pets safety is most important & & I strive to do everything to preserve that.

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 Cross Plains 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 Cross Plains.
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.
You and your Cross Plains 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.
