“Christie was wonderful in caring for our cat while we vacationed. At our initial meeting with Christie, we were impressed with her interaction with our beloved cat and how nicely he responded to her. During our vacation, we received daily texts with pictures as well as a short paragraph on how things were going. Christie spent time after feeding our cat to pet and interact with him, then sent photos highlighting her daily visits. We unequivocally give our highest recommendation to Christie!”
“Danielle was wonderful with Buddy! She stopped by a couple of times during the day to check on him, spent time playing with him, and even gave him some ice chips to help him cool down in the heat. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Buddy!”

About: I am very skilled with taking care of all dogs, big and small! I have a lot of experience owning my own dog as well as taking care of friend's and families' dogs! I am a Navy Veteran who just recently moved home with her fiance and fur babies to be closer to family and friends and live a slower life, so I have very open availability ! I have one cat and two dogs of my own, so I prefer to take care of animals in their own homes. This allows the dog or cat to be more comfortable and less stressed then having to move around a lot!
About: I have lots of experience with dogs, grew up around Saint Bernards, and both my parents to this day still have 2+ dogs. Loved them my whole life. My current work schedule has died down so for the most part im open! Once school starts, and my other job opens up a bit it will be more limited. I’m going to prioritize the dogs care and the clients home as if they were my own. I love dogs and will be very respectful!

I've provided pet care for family members on vacations, my grandmother while recovering from a broken bone, friends at work who needed a drop in visit, and more.

About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs through extended stays—one for over two months and another for about two weeks. These experiences helped me gain hands-on knowledge in feeding, walking, maintaining hygiene, and providing loving companionship. I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and committed to making dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in their home environment. Pet care easily fits into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and make them a priority. I’m flexible with my schedule as I am currently not working and can accommodate daily walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I’m happy to adjust to meet the needs of the pet and maintain consistency in their routine. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks and outdoor play. I follow the pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding on time, giving medication if needed, or just spending quality time playing and bonding. Cleanliness is a priority for me, and I always ensure their space is fresh, tidy, and stress-free.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the beginning of my adult life. My family dog I trained as a puppy, learning the acute patience required to not only train a reactive dog but give a reactive dog the care and companionship she deserves. From this, I learned how to walk, feed, train, bathe, and even groom pets all in attempt to give my dog the best life she deserves. I’m currently a graduate student at IU, so I’m always free to walk your pups in the morning or evening! I have great weekend availability from Friday to Sunday, meaning you can take those short trips without the added stress of finding a pet friendly hotel! Dogs need exercise to live a full and happy life! My idea of walking and sitting is making sure your pup is active and healthy, whether that means going for long walks or playing fetch in the park. I have experience with reactive dogs, so depending on your dog, I can make adjustments to the walks I take that is safe for both the dog and other people as well.

Brady did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! He visited 3 times a day and sent reports and pictures each day. His communication was awesome! Knowing that our pets were in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! We look forward to having him help with our girls again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
