“EXCELLENT, MY FAMILY USED DANIELLE'S SERVICE FOR OUT LITTLE ROCKY AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY PET CARE AND DEFINITELY WE WILL USE HER SERVICE AGAIN.”
About: Hi there! We’re a dog-loving duo with years of experience and three sweet, well-behaved rescue pups of our own. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. We’ve spent our lives around animals—caring for our own, helping friends and family, and volunteering with the Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program (and multiple years at SPCA Florida). We offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home daycare for friendly pups who get along well with ours. We’re confident in caring for a variety of pets and always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. We also provide drop-in visits for cats and currently care for a household of three felines. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual schedule, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s what they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ We work remotely with flexible schedules, so we're home throughout the day and available most weekends. We can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. We also offer daycare for dogs who get along well with ours. *Sunday availability begins at 2pm. **We are currently at capacity for ongoing, multi-day weekly care (ex. 2+ days a week, every week, indefinitely). We are still open to once a week ongoing care at this time. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether visiting them at home or welcoming them into ours. We follow routines closely and provide gentle, attentive care. For daycare, we ensure dogs are well-matched with our three friendly dogs and are supervised. Clean spaces, fresh water, and secure environments are a must. We treat every pet like our own—earning their trust through patience, play, and consistency.
“Mallory was amazing! She was a great communicator frequently sending pictures and updates, which my kids loved. She also showed Gunner a ton of love and treated him like a part of her family. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Wish I could give these ladies 100 stars! In a nut shell, Megan and Lois are a blessing! It s so nice to get away and know your baby is happy too! Thank you both so much ! So much better than a noisy kennel.”
“Audrey was great! She kept us updated throughout our Poodle's stay at her house. Audrey made sure we felt comfortable and reassured. She sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. Audrey's home is clean and pet-friendly, and it's clear she loves animals. We will be booking with Audrey again in the future. We recommend her services!”
“what a gem of a find & amazing sitter for my fur baby -- Khaki can be very skiddish when meeting new people or intimidating when others first meet her but Karen was a perfect match right from the start! dog-friendly home, great yard plus it felt like Auntie Karen was watching over her as I regularly got texted pictures and personal reassurances during my last minute trip HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: will use again & again”
“We felt so comfortable after leaving our golden with Julie!! She sent us updates and photos all the time, and we could tell right away her dogs and our dog would get along perfectly. Her animals are so sweet and so is Julie! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you to you and your family for taking such incredible care of our girl!!”
“Sheri is so amazing with my Sophie. She's a nervous dog and takes awhile to warm up to new people and Sheri was so accommodating to her. Took her time and really worked with her while she stayed there. She came home such a happy dog and really seemed to do great! I know she loved the company too!”
“My Italian Greyhound is a rescue and is quirkier than most iggies, which are quirky breed anyway. Somewhat last minute, I arranged for Walter to stay with Carrie for 4 days. She always responded to texts/emails quickly and kept in touch.”
“Rajesh was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment I left my pup, I knew he was in great hands. He treated him like family and went above and beyond by sending daily updates with photos and videos. It meant so much to see how happy and well cared for my dog was. I would 100% book with him again!”
“I'm always a little nervous to leave my dog with someone new, but Kailly was very responsive, flexible with drop off and pick up times, and sent photos of Cleo. She was so friendly and excited to meet Cleo that I felt so comfortable that Cleo would be well taken care of and she was.”
“I always get so nervous and guilty leaving my dog behind when I am out of town but Odalys made it so easy. I got tons of pics and was very comfortable knowing my dog was in great hands. She is extremely professional and responsive. I definitely recommend.”
“Chris was amazing. Our little man had an amazing over nite stay. He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing with the others dogs there. Chris went a live to accommodate us after our regular sitter was unable to watch him. We will be using Chris many more times again.”
“Thank you so much for watching Jett!! We are so thankful you were able to be flexible with our crazy schedule! Jett loves getting to go to the park & play with his buddy ❤️”
“Amanda and her family took such great care of Belle! They sent me lots of photos and updates and paid very close attention to her health and well-being, more than anyone ever has before so I would highly recommend her”
About: I’m 24 and I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life—puppies, old timers, and everything in between. Animals aren’t just pets to me, they’re family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, baths, cuddles, feeding, or just hanging out, I’ll do anything when it comes to your four-legged kids. I’ve cared for people’s pets before, and it’s something I enjoy. I’m reliable, always on time, and go above and beyond what’s expected. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and takes care of them like they’re his own, I’m your guy! I currently work a salaried position from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. **Weekday Availability:** Evenings after 5:00 PM are wide open for pet sitting, cuddles, and any necessary care—whether it's feeding, walking, or simply keeping your pet company. **Weekend Availability:** The weekends are the real treat! I'm available all day Saturday and Sunday for anything from quick visits to overnight stays. If your pet needs a cozy sleepover, Friday and Saturday nights are ideal. When caring for pets, whether at my home or my client's, their comfort and safety always come first. Your pet's well-being is my top priority. At my home, I offer a wide-open, fenced backyard where animals can explore safely. Inside, I maintain a secure, pet-friendly space with no hazards. If requested by owners, I can accommodate crate-training, though you'll need to provide the crate. I have three playful, friendly male cats (under a year old) who love interacting with other animals. I respect every pet's unique personality, ensuring positive and stress-free interactions. Clear communication with owners about their pet's preferences is key—so you can feel confident your pet is in trustworthy hands. My home is stocked with essentials: fresh food, clean water, and plenty of toys to keep pets active and engaged. There's also climbing furniture for those curious explorers. The setup ensures your pet has fun, stays comfortable, and feels at home. Every service is tailored to the unique needs of the pet and the owner. Whether it's an afternoon of supervised play or overnight care, I go above and beyond to create a safe, trusting, and happy environment for every animal. Let me know how I can make your pet's experience even more amazing!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Forest home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Forest.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Forest sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
