“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and understand that some animals need special care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with great walking paths! I work a Monday through Friday normal schedule, going into work around 6am and coming home around 3pm each day. I love going on morning, afternoon, and evening walks with my dog, Toby, and he loves to run around our backyard too. Weekends are meant for fun! Sometimes we go to the dog park or a walk through downtown. I care for them by giving them attention, sticking to a nice schedule, and understanding that every animal is different in their own, unique way. Some require more care, others are very chill like my own dog!
“Kelsie was very nice and updated me with photos and updates to make sure my puppy was doing great I would highly recommend and appreciate the last minute notice that I had to board my dog.”
“Absolutely wonderful with my two dogs; they were taken very good care of, and I got daily pupdates! She was very responsive and understanding to the times I needed to drop off/ pick up my dogs. I will most certainly be boarding my dogs here again when needed.”
About: have grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, and more. I have genuinely enjoyed working with each of them. I have two cats, and a new puppy I have experience caring for kittens from birth until they were ready to be rehomed. Having a three-month-old puppy I have gained valuable hands-on experience with training, consistency, and daily care routines. I work fulltime but I’m available week evening and anytime weekend as well as possibly stopping by on work breaks if time allows but I’m very flexible on what you need to make work! Safety is very important to me as when going on walking all animals they will stay on leashes and if playing in yard that are not fence in they will stay on a leash
“Katherine does a great job taking care of my dog. I have an anxiety prone former shelter dog with a ton of energy and Katherine is probably the best dog sitter I’ve ever gotten for Haisley. She spends a lot of time taking care of your dog and sends good updates and photos”
“Ana was a great host for our dog’s 2 night, 3 day stay!! Very communicative and flexible with our dog’s needs! Her background in fostering dogs definitely shows! Will highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Lindsie provided excellent care and attention for my little boy Otto. She was very good about sending me photos and reassuring me he was doing just fine with her. Otto is a 9 year old Miniature Schnauzer and used to just the two of us being together but he did very well with Lindsie. I highly recommend considering Lindsie as a sitter.”
“Kimberly and her family were wonderful. They are such a dog loving family. Kim kept us updated with photos of how happy our pup was. They have a great outdoor space where dogs can run freely! We will, without a doubt, ask Kim and her family to watch Stella again. A great experience overall!”
About: I grew up with animals, and I was always in charge of them. I have taken care of dogs, puppies, kittens, and rodents. I currently am a foster mom! I have my own dog, and my life revolves around him! I love to take him on all of my adventures, and your dogs can come too! I spend a lot of time training my dog because he is high energy. Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have lots of love to give! My dog is 3 and my whole life revolves around him. I take him everywhere with me- we go on hikes and explore dog parks. He comes to Starbucks and is spoiled every step of the way. We walk a lot! When I care for other dogs, they just slide into our routine and walk and play with us! I use puzzles and snuffle mats frequently
“Nikole and her family took great care of my dog Miley for 13 days. She sent me daily photos and video's of Miley having a great time. Communication was easy and quick. Nikole made sure she understood Miley's daily schedule at our house and followed it as close as possible while watching her. I would highly recommend Nikole for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.
“Susan and Kenny are wonderful people!! Our anxious dog was very comfortable staying with them! I would definitely recommend them for anyone needing a pet sitter! We received frequent updates, including pictures and videos. We definitely have a new regular pet sitter!”
“Victoria is very nice and I really appreciated that she met me and our pup prior to the date of the stay. She sent me plenty of photos and I could tell that our pup was made to feel like she was "home". No complaints at all about the services we received!”
“Tasha was fantastic and took great care of my cat, Frankie! She was very flexible when it came to dropping him off/picking him up, and sent frequent picture and video updates. Frankie had a lot of new friends to play with, and I loved seeing how easily he adjusted with a welcoming host!”

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
