“Tina and her family were awesome! Excellent communication leading up to our trip and she sent several pictures and videos of Oliver. We really felt like they cared for and loved him, which is just the best feeling when you’re away. We wish we lived closer but will contact you if we’re in the area again. Thank you!”

“Absolutely amazing! Lynelleaq took wonderful care of my dog, Jax, for six days while I was on vacation. I received daily photos and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Her communication was outstanding. She kept me informed about everything, and during a tornado warning she even texted to let me know they were safely sheltering in the basement. That level of care and thoughtfulness meant so much to me. When I picked Jax up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly loved. I would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter!”

“Brittany was super nice and took very good care of Dobby for us while we were away. She sent us pics to keep us updated on how he was doing. He was happy to see us when we picked him up, but also tried to go back in with her when we left to go home so I'd say that speaks for itself.”

“Really good! My dog stayed with Jessica and her family for 3 weeks, in which there were no problems at all and my dog had a lot of fun. She gave updates and contacted me about any decisions that they were going to make regarding my dogs care. Definitely will be contacting her again if I need to go away again.”

About: Hi, I’m Kendall! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and have been providing pet care through Rover since 2023. I’m a proud cat mom to Topaz and Turbo, and I believe pets thrive with a balance of love, exercise, mental enrichment, and consistency. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and one-on-one doggy daycare for personalized attention. I enjoy learning about animal behavior and training, and I love helping pets stay active, confident, and engaged. I also have experience caring for very young animals, including bottle-feeding newborn kittens. When you trust me with your pet, you can expect reliable care, regular updates, plenty of affection, and someone who treats your furry family member like one of their own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I also am now a GoodPup Certified Trainer. I have plenty of time to give your all of your furry pets all the love and attention they will need while you are away. My schedule is updated regularly and I will be sure to fit my schedule around your needs once booked. One question I always ask my clients is “how long can your pet be alone?”. I adhere to those guidelines. I have plenty of experience with dogs & cats. I have dog/cat and house sit for the last several years for clients when they were out of town on vacation. I promise to provide your pups or kitties with safe, loving care.

About: I have taken care of dogs since middle school. I love dogs and have two on my own - a Dalmatian and a Basset Hound. My family is very active and we walk the doggies daily! My job is very flexible and I have a lot of extra time during the day to spend time with the doggies! I have had dogs all my life! I love dogs and I spend a lot of time outdoors with the doggies! I make sure the doggies get at least one walk a day but more often than not they get walked twice daily.

About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a kid and my love for pets has only grown over the years! I truly enjoy the companionship that let’s have to offer. Taking care of pets fits right into our everyday life! I’m a stay-at-home dad and husband, so we’re always moving around the house, hanging out in the yard, or heading out to the park. Between toddler adventures and walks, there’s plenty of time for play, fetch, and cuddles, your pup will feel right at home with us. I have a fenced yard and a security camera at my front entrance. I love spending time outdoors and have plenty of energy to take my toddler and pets on walks to the nearby park.

About: I grew up with dogs and realize, they aren’t like family members, they are family. I don’t currently own a dog, but this might be my fix for now. You can’t hold it against me if your pup loves me as much as she/he does you 🙂 Currently I live in a brand new apartment complex in Zionsville (SYLO Apts.) It is a very dog friendly development & it even has its own dog Salon! I work 5 minutes away and come home for lunch. I’m very attentive and would be active, going on walks or runs as needed. This would always be a part of a visit. I’d be just as excited as your dog.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with many different types of pets and my ability to adapt to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including puppies and senior dogs, as well as birds, ferrets, and hamsters. I’m comfortable with puppy care, helping with basic routines and potty training, and providing extra patience and supervision for young or energetic pets. I also understand that senior pets may need a slower pace, extra comfort, and more frequent attention. I’m experienced with pets who need medications or special care and always follow their owner’s instructions closely. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m able to plan my schedule around my clients’ needs. I’m flexible with visit times and can work with different schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when available. I understand that pets depend on consistency, so I make sure to arrive on time and follow their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and medication routines. I’ll communicate with owners about scheduling and make sure their pets receive the attention and care they need. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home or, when appropriate, in my home. I understand that some pets are more comfortable staying in their familiar environment, while others do well in a home setting with extra attention and companionship. Whether I’m caring for your pet at your home or mine, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any medications or special care they need. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as birds, ferrets, and hamsters. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing.

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 Darlington 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 Darlington.

<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 Darlington 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.
