1. Hannah G.

“I cannot vouch enough how amazing Hannah was as a house and dog sitter. We have two large rambunctious dogs (German shep and pitbull). She came and met and played with them a week before and was super communicative before, during and even after her stay. We ended up having an emergency where she needed to stay another night so I paid her more plus tip but she was more than happy to help. Thank god her schedule permitted! She sent photos and updates on the dogs and was a wonderful house guest. We HIGHLY recommend her and will be hiring her again in the future without a doubt!!”


2. Jessie P.

“Very pleased with Jessie. Compassion and daily exercise were given our dog Elton. Would recommend to future clients and will book with her again.”


3. Karah S.

“This was our first time using Karah's services and she proved to be an open communicator, a photo-taker/sharer, and a conscientious provider! She even took Tux on walks in dreary weather and then in cold, blustery weather! We would definitely use her again :)”


4. Tracy M.

“Tracy is amazing with my pets—super reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile. I love getting updates and knowing my pets are in such good hands while I’m away. Highly recommend!”


5. Zoe B.

“Zoe took great care of Libby during our seven day vacation. She was punctual, communicated and sent pictures with daily updates. She was sensitive to Libby's anxiety and was proactive in treating it. We would definitely recommend Zoe for your pet's needs.”


6. April E.

“April was amazing. She exceeded all of our expectations. Our dogs were very well taken care of, leaving us to enjoy our trip without any worries. We will be using her again!”


7. Elizabeth R.

“Wonderful to work with!!! I will be rebooking with Elizabeth!”




8. April D.

“April is the BEST!!!!!! We had her stay for an extended period while on vacation. We received pics of our fur-daughter as well as updates. The house was in perfect shape upon our return (probably better than we had left it!). It's so reassuring knowing we found April and that our dog will receive the absolute best care the next time we are away and can't take her along. A++++++++++++++++++”


9. Delanea R.

“Delanea is the absolute best! I feel so good knowing our puppy is safe and happy in her care. I love the updates we get and couldn’t recommend her more.”


10. Sarah R.
“Sarah loves all animals, and is very good with them. She is very responsible and reliable. 5 stars! She is very respectful and very good with any special needs you may require.”


11. Iris A.

“Iris did a wonderful job watching Lola! Lots of photos and video updates which helped me cope with being away ‘cause I knew she was in good hands.”


12. Makynna L.
“If you’re looking for a dependable person to care for your fur babies, I would hands down recommend Makynna! We know her and her family personally and they are all amazing, caring people. We’ve had Makynna pet sit for us on several occasions. We never had to worry about the care our doggie received while we were out of town and we knew she even went above and beyond to give him extra love to ease his anxiety.”


13. Taylor G.
“Taylor has been a great caregiver of my animals for 3+ years. She is very sweet and patient with them. She is an animal lover, and it shows!! She is always kind and has a smile on her face! I would definitely recommend her for your fur babies!”


14. Jacqui G.

“Jaqui is AMAZING. Our dogs are bonkers and she even came every few weeks til we left, for them to get used to her. Then she even took care of them when her family got sick. AND she mopped and washd soiled blankets for us. Thank you so much Jaqui!!! A++++”


15. Sierra A.

“I contacted Sierra with pretty short notice and she was quick to reply and willing to help out! I got a good vibe from her when she came to meet my pets, after my quick trip was over and I returned everything looked well taken care of and my cats were happy!”


16. Stephanie G.

“Stephanie was awesome. We had her stay in our home for a week with our dog. Our dog can be a little shy so Stephanie went out of her way to come and befriend our dog prior to her stay. Our dog warmed up to her right away. She took Pebbles for walks and was very conscience to Pebbles needs. We definitely would recommend Stephanie and we will use her again.”


17. Derrick W.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Derrick for 3 years, and I can confidently say he is one of the most caring and reliable pet sitters I’ve ever encountered. Derrick has a natural love for animals, and his attention to detail when caring for pets is unmatched! He takes the time to understand each pet's needs, whether it’s their daily routine, dietary preferences, or any special care requirements. I’ve seen firsthand how Derrick goes above and beyond to make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable. I would trust him with my own pets in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

About: Hello, I’m a current student at Ball State University! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old! Friends, neighbors, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets as well as doing daily check ins. I’m currently going to college and working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to play with your sweet pups and provide the best care for them. I have a side yard and a friendly pup to keep your dog company! I can easily crate your dog if needed and take them on daily walks.


19. Nevaeh P.
About: I’ve had 14 years of friends, family and neighbors trusting me for walking, feeding, giving baths, playing, gaining trust, building relationships with their furry family members and anything that comes with taking care of dogs 🥰 I’m currently trying to get a full time schedule on Rover. I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing! Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!
