“Sierra goes above and beyond with each visit! She’s great with our kitty and is quick to respond. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and their wellbeing. Will definitely rebook!”


“Amy was great! She sent great updates and fun pictures throughout the week. She went above and beyond and even opened the patio door so our cat could get some fresh air. I will definitely be booking with Amy again in the future!”

“Beth was amazing! We had a rejected 2 week old kitten and she was such an amazing help! She was very easy to get a hold of and sent lots of adorable pictures! She helped us when we were a bit clueless at some points and overall is not just a great sitter but a great person. I will always highly recommend Beth to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

About: I have been living with dogs and cats from a young age, so I know how to take care of them at all life stages. I can take care of puppies, but I do have more experience with senior dogs. I have a regular 9-5 that has me in office 3 days a week so below is my usual availability: IN OFFICE: Tuesdays through Thursdays REMOTE: Mondays and Fridays When house sitting, I abide by whatever rules you give me to properly take care of your pet. I also look up the dog's breed to see if there is anything specific, such as if they require more energy, to implement in our temporary routine. I also am very big on respecting the dog's boundaries because I want to make sure we're both comfortable with each other.
“Once again, Mary did an excellent job with our kitties, Adora and Chika. They both meow highly about her and enjoy her visits. Even our shy Chika will allow for occasional petting. Thank you again, Mary, for watching our spoiled babies.”

“Shannon was great with our dog! She had some special needs after an injury and she was caring and attentive to what she might need. She even gave some attention to the cat while she was here. It was great to know they were well taken care of! She goes above and beyond, would highly recommend her!”

“Jamie did a fantastic job with my senior cat Apollo. He is old and has hyperthyroidism so he needs medication given to him twice a day. She was able to give that to him, along with follow all my other instructions. When I got home, everything was just how I had left it. This was my first time ever leaving my cat with someone and so I was nervous. Jamie immediately eased my nerves when I saw how happy Apollo was. She communicated very well while I was on my trip and sent photos and videos every time she came. If you are looking for someone to come watch your pet, Jamie is a great choice! I am very thankful for her services and I am so glad I chose her!”

About: I have taken care of my own pets and other people’s pets my whole life (25+ years). I grew up with a rescue sheltie named Kali and watched my neighbor’s cats as a kid. After high school, I attended Purdue University to get my B.S. in Animal Science and gained experience working with animals of all varieties (small, large, wildlife, laboratory, exotics). I became passionate about animal medicine and decided I wanted to go to veterinary school. I got into the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine after only three years of undergrad and have been studying there the last four years. Throughout my schooling, I have gained 8 years of training in various small animal clinics as well as the Purdue Small and Large Animal Hospitals. I am Fear Free Certified for dogs and cats and am comfortable working with any species of any size. I am able to provide quality medical care to any pet such as oral or injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, mucous membranes, pulses, blood pressure, Libres, Holter-monitors, and other supportive care your pet may need. I have received extensive CPR training for dogs and cats and have worked with pets in any condition you can think of (geriatric, neonatal, critical condition, post-operatively, diabetics, Addison’s, hyper/hypothyroid, seizure dogs and cats, heart diseases, neurological disorders, non-ambulatory, etc.). You name it, I’ve probably seen it before! I currently have an adorable and loving beagle named Marshall who is a retired research dog. I also had a cat named Sylvie that I rescued in Ohio, but she passed away very recently. Let me know if you have any other species at your home that need attention! I love all pocket pets, birds, reptiles/amphibians, rabbits, and other exotic pets. I also love horses, pigs, llamas, alpacas, chickens, goats, cattle, sheep, and any other farm animal you might have on your property. I am currently a part-time student and have a flexible schedule. I can work with you to arrange what is best for you and your pet’s needs, and will ensure that my calendar is updated regularly with my availability. I will respect the safety and wishes of my clients in regards to caring for their pets in their households or while out on a walk. I believe that trust can be established by listening to a clients desires and goals and devoting myself to helping the client achieve them.
“Marissa came through for us with caring for our Boots. Our kitty was happy and we were so much more comfortable leaving Boots due to Marissa! She took the extra time to communicate effectively and quickly. I highly recommend this Rover person, especially those who have energetic dogs and cats. She is very knowledgeable, pleasant, and supportive.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve been a proud cat parent for the last 7½ years, and I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are. I’m patient, loving, and happy to meet each pet where they are; whether that’s playful energy, cozy cuddles, or calm companionship. Your pet will be treated like family every step of the way. I offer house sitting exclusively for cats, and I’m excited to provide drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as walks for doggos. Every pet I care for is treated like family, every step of the way. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time remotely during the weekdays, which means I’m home and available for morning, lunchtime, and evening care, as well as overnight stays. I also have flexibility on weekends, making it easy for me to pet sit, provide extended care, or adjust to your pet’s schedule as needed. I typically offer up to three daily slots for drop-in visits or walks; one in the morning, one over lunch, and one in the evening. Your pet can enjoy consistent, reliable care throughout the day. 🐾 I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay familiar. I focus on safety, trust, and consistency by following your care instructions closely; feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household rules. I keep your home secure, respect your space, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. I’m attentive to behavior changes, send regular updates, and always prioritize a calm, safe environment so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I currently work at the Humane Society for Greater Lafayette and have always grown up around dogs. I’ve pet-sat for multiple neighbors growing up as well. I’m familiar with various dog behaviors and health issues. I’m currently working part time, and my schedule will change according to those needs. However, I will always show up when I can, and make sure your pet is safe and well taken care of. In your home, I will be a warm and kind presence to your pet, making sure to provide quality care and lots of pets. I’ll take care to clean messes, leave things tidy, and ensure the safety of your animals.
“Tessa took great care of our cat Tigger, attending to his feeding schedule and his insulin shots to maintain his health. She also sent us photos of Tigger so we could see how well he was doing with her. She stayed at our home and left it in great shape for our return. She was charming and interesting to talk to as well. You can’t go wrong with trusting her in your home!”
