“Viral and his wife were great with my high energy Shiba Inu! They sent a bunch of photos and videos to keep us updated on him, while we were away, which was great for peace of mind! 10/10 recommend!”
“Manya is my dog’s regular sitter and I just recently felt totally comfortable leaving her for a 2 week business trip. I knew she’d be safe and happy and will be for future trips too.”
“Ronnie did a great job with our dog! I could tell how much she and her family cared for him during his stay. Excellent communication while from her from booking through pickup, and was great to see pictures of him playing during his stay.”
“Heidi and her family were wonderful hosts for our two dogs! We received updates and pictures throughout their stay. Unfortunately we had to extend their stay for an extra night but Heidi was super accommodating and a lifesaver!”
“Ashley was exceptional. She recently watched our 2 dogs and one of them had a medical issue while she was with Ashley. Ashley knew exactly what to do and got the issue resolved before we even returned. I was so impressed. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashley to anyone that I know and because she took such awesome care of our girls, she will definitely be our first choice the next time our dogs need a sitter. 5 stars PLUS!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
“Ashley exceeded my expectations! She was so great with my Golden Retriever. She took care of my dog for 10 days. Ashley was communicating with me constantly, she sent me videos, pictures and messages daily letting me know how my dog was doing. I felt very safe leaving my 3 month old dog with her. When I picked my dog up, she did not want to leave??”
“OMG! I rarely leave my service dog and rescue with anyone overnight. When I went to pick them up to go home, they did not want to leave, and even made a couple friends! Kylie is for sure my new pet sitter! This was by far one of the best pet sitters I've had in a while. She has a permanent customer now!”
“Kristin and Spencer were very kind, quick to communicate and understanding. Our home had a plumbing issue leading to tons of water damage so we had to find someone very last minute to help us watch our dog during mitigation. Kristin and Spencer accepted our request right away helping us during a very hard time. Upon Mooses stay they sent us pictures, had daily communication with us and gave our sweet boy a safe place to stay. 10/10 would send moose back to stay with them♡”
About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.
“Katy is so awesome!! She was so great with our 1 year old golden doodle. She took him to the park and sent many pictures and videos during his stay with her and gave him plenty dog treats. He was loving life!!”
About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your pet while you’re away. Our home features a secure fenced yard, perfect for playtime and relaxation, and is located in a friendly neighborhood with beautiful walking trails. Your dog will also have the company of our well-socialized Goldendoodle, who loves walks and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy downtime, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and right at home. I am currently available for the weekends, if you need for weekdays, please request I can look into it. I can just walk the dog or happy to board them during night. I have a fenced yard and my own fur baby to keep your dog company. Our goldendoodle is friendly and loves other dogs company. I do have a child who is 5 years and younger. No aggressive dogs please.
About: I am a proud owner of an 11-year-old yellow labrador retriever and a two-year-old cat named Cooper. Growing up my house was always full of animals, including multiple cats and multiple dogs at all times. I have 3 children who are all gentle with animals. My yellow lab is a diabetic so I am familiar with checking glucose and administering insulin. I am currently staying at home with the children and am free almost every day Monday-Friday. I am open to walking dogs, playing with the pets either at my house or yours. We do not have a real fence, as our dog is invisible fence trained. We do have large crates available, plenty of dog toys and treats if applicable to your pet. Our dog is very friendly and spoiled, as yours would be also! Your pet would be treated as a part of our family!
“Jenna loved on our sweet pup like he was her own! She sent pictures of his happy self everyday. It was great not having to worry about him at all. I highly recommend having Jenna watch your dogs!”
About: I’ve loved Dogs and Cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. I had my 1st dog in middle school so ,I grew up playing with them, sleeping next to them, and caring for them every day. Being around cats and dogs brings me so much joy, and I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will care for your cat or dog as if they were my own. Cats are part of my daily life. I don’t have dogs but I love it and also was my daily life when I live with my parents. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m home most of the time, so I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. During the week, I’m available from 5 PM until the next morning, and I love spending my evenings relaxing with cats by my side. In my routine, cats are never alone—they are always with me, receiving love and care. Having a dog should not be a probleem :) When caring for cats and dogs in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their feeding schedule, keep their litter box clean, afternoon walks,play with them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and respect their personality and routine. I enjoy spending quality time with cats, whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby.Trust me i will not fail:)
“Gilda was fantastic with our two cats! She sent lots of photos and the cats almost didn't want to leave! You can tell they had good play time and attention throughout their stay with her. :)”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
