“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”
“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Wow! She went above and beyond for my husband and I. She drove 30 minutes (both ways!!!) to bring my two dogs to our wedding venue. Not only that but she watched my parents 3 dogs right after. 5 dogs total and she was wonderful. She kept us updated throughout the day and made my wedding day even more special.”
About: Hello, I’m Nicole. I love all animals and the joy they bring to our lives! I understand your pet(s) is a family member and should be treated as such. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and administer meds. I’m New to the Rover platform , however I have years of experience caretaking for pets, along with seniors. I’m currently working part time from home with a flexible schedule. I’m available for sitting, walks, potty breaks, playtime and enrichment. I also have evenings open for visits. I will ensure the safety of your pets in your home and outdoor environment. I carry a backpack and water bottle on all walks to ensure your pet stays hydrated. I have basic training for dogs and I’m experienced with administering medications. I prefer a meet and greet so your pet(s) is familiar with me and we can go over your daily and nightly routines. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies!
“Darcie was very sweet with my cat! I booked her on shorter notice because my first plans fell through, and she was really flexible with her time. My cat is a bit feisty, and they got along so well! I would definitely rebook Darcie.”
About: I have always taken care of animals whether they were mine or my friends. From dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, goats, horses, chicken, turkeys, hamsters, you name it. I currently work full time from home and in the office 2 days a week. I have 3 doodles, 1 cat, 1 rabbit at home. I can do daily stays in and out of my range , overnight stays in areas in and outside of my range , local drop ins only.
About: I would love to take care of your pet! I have taken care of dogs my whole life as I have had them as family pets since I was as young as 2. I currently have one dog, my sweet Yoshi, who you can see in some of my photos! (the Chihuahua/Daschund mix) He is my entire world and I only want the best for him. I would only want the best care for anyone else’s pet, the same as my own :) I currently work a regular 8-5 in downtown Indy. If located in the Indianapolis area, I can be available after my shifts end at 5pm, if closer to the Camby area then I can be available closer to 6pm when I usually get home :) On Saturday/Sundays I am open all day! Safety is the most important thing since your pets are your babies. I never assume anything about a dog and if anything you should assume the worst to avoid bad situations. For example, everytime I am watching a friends dog from inside their home, I always check their fenced in small yard for other animals, people, or even holes in the fence before I let them outside just in case. And to ensure safety when walking I always cross to the opposite side of the street if safe to and if not I step far to the side to allow other dog walkers to pass, just in case one of the animals is reactive.
About: Having been around a variety of animals for my entire life I appreciate the joy and place they hold in their family’s lives. My own soul dog (Sheltie named Finn) passed away in 2025 and he is dearly missed. Though he is gone, my love of animals has never changed. These days I paint animal portraits for shelter donations, care for the pets of family/friends, and now I serve to help those seeking an aid for their furry family member. Every family deserves to know their animal(s) are being cared for with the utmost respect. That is the level of responsibility I take when I will accompany your pet on a walk or to check on them during the day. There is also plenty of room for play and affection! They are your family and deserve to be treated as such. I am currently working part-time weekdays until 2 pm. After work, I am available to assist in the care of animals by walking or checking on their welfare. The first thing I do when arriving is ensure that all animals within the home are well by observing them. Once that is assured, I take the time to let them adjust to my presence by allowing them to meet me on their terms. Afterwards, I ensure water bowls are changed or topped off, litter boxes are emptied if needed, and prepare any dogs for their walks.
About: As an adult, I’ve taken care of four separate dogs. I have experience taking care of senior dogs who needed multiple medications, IV antibiotics and fluids. Most recently, I have trained my current pup to reduce his anxiety with other people. I have potty trained him, leash trained him, taught him basic commands, and give him daily oral medication. I am very patient and like to ensure the dogs comfortability while learning. I currently work four days a week as a nurse, so I will have ample time on the three days that I am off work each week. I treat my pets (and yours) like family. In my role as a mother and a nurse, I take care taking very seriously, and that tends to bleed over into the rest of my life as well.
“Riley was great with Harper B! Riley came by to meet Harper before the drop-in visit. It's clear she has experience with dogs and is easy-going. The day-of, she sent me many photos of Harper having a great time playing in the yard. And when I came home, Harper was relaxed and calm because she'd had such fun mid-day with Riley.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have been taking care of my own pets for 11 years now. My family have relied on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation. I would love to extend my love for animals by helping you take care of your fur babies when you’re not able to. I’m currently working full time. I’m able care to for your pet’s needs before I go to work and after I get home from work. I always feed and water my pets in the morning and let my dog outside in our fence in yard to use the bathroom. Then when I get home from work I make sure my pets have water, will fed my dog again, and take him outside to use the bathroom. I try to take my dog on a daily walk every evening. On the weekends I don’t work so I’m able to tend to the pets more. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. I also have two cats that are very friendly as well. I know how it is to be away from your fur babies so I will make sure to send lots of pictures and updates.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
