Joclyn watched our pup overnight at our house after several very successful stay evenings. She is so good to Bunker and he loves seeing her. Anybody would be very happy, we sure are!

About: I am a former veterinary technician that has years of experience with animals. I have experience with special needs, medication, geriatric, special diet, restraint, IV fluids, and much more. I have worked with dogs in the veterinary field, training, and doing therapy work. I can also care for cats, reptiles, birds and your other pets. I have worked for an animal sanctuary where we had many different animals. I was in charge of the infirmary there and medicating all the animals as far as any sick or injured animals and monthly flea and tick treatments. I cared for animals there from the very small, winged, scaly to the large cows and horses. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies to love and care for like they were my own. I am willing to work with just about anyone's schedule. If you can be flexible, we can always work something out. Available for your pets any day of the week and during most hours. Your pet's care is my priority. I come to your home for care which makes your pet(s) feel much more at ease. When your pet is in their own environment, they are less stressed while you are gone.

Hope has been our pet-home sitter twice, and we've been very pleased with her care! It can be difficult to leave your precious ones and privacy vulnerable to a newcomer, and Hope made herself available to slowly transitioning from strangers to trust. She is knowledgeable, dependable, flexible, and kind with a really great smile!

Jasmine was wonderful with our dogs. She took great care of them, spent time playing with them, and made sure they got plenty of walks. It was clear they were comfortable and happy while we were away. We would absolutely use Jasmine again!

Kacey was absolutely wonderful while house sitting our two labs. Over the six days she watched them, she kept us updated with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She wore them out playing Chuckit in the front yard and even had the neighbor kids come over to play with her and the dogs. The fact that she currently works at a vet clinic gave us extra reassurance that if anything had happened, our dogs would’ve been in very capable hands. It was clear they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We highly recommend Kacey to anyone in need of a reliable and caring house sitter!

About: I have worked with dog rescues since 2018, and have adopted 4 dogs and a cat of my own. I am wanting to help others in and around my community with their pets! My full time job is Monday through Thursday, and I have the capability to care for dogs prior to 9am, and after 8pm. I also can make a stop during the day at almost any requested time for a midday potty break. I will follow directions to ensure I meet the expectations of each individual client. I can exercise your dog whether you want your dog to be leash walked, or to have play time in a fenced yard. I will adhere to feeding schedules, and ensure proper amounts are given to each individual dog. I am also able to give oral and injectable medications as needed.

About: Your pets or home will be safe with me! I have put in over 100 volunteer hours at my local animal shelter out of the love of my heart. I have been pampering and caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I have my own vehicle so, I am always available to come to your home to care for your pets! In the past I have been a baby sitter, pet sitter, and housekeeper, so I know how to pamper. I also have experience with reptiles and small animals. Any and all animals are welcome! I am available at all times, every day of the week. I am also open to long-term or short-term set schedules. Last minute bookings are always welcome as well! I am very familiar with the Indianapolis and surrounding areas. I currently reside in Kokomo, but am easily able to travel to the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, I do not offer home & boarding, but drops-ins, walks, and housesitting are all very convenient & just as easy!

About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years. I graduated high school in 2024 and during high school I volunteered many hours at the Clinton County Humane Society. In June of 2024 I started pet sitting for local families. Since then I have helped take care of many families furry friends including common house pets such as Dogs, Cats, and even Kinkajous! I am currently trying to branch out and make pet care my main job. Which means my availability is usually always open! Don’t be scared to reach out and ask! BOARDING IN MY HOME: I live with my parents out in the country with two dogs in my home and one cat. I have several rooms, gates, and crates that can be used so my pets never come in contact with yours if that is preferred! There are 9 acres of total land for plenty of exercise, 2 of those acres are fenced off and occupied by two friendly dairy goats and chickens! While you go on vacation so will your furry friend/s !

This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!

About: I love taking care of furry friends! Family and friends have relied of me to pop in and take their fur babies on walks, get them all clean, and make sure they get their tummies full. Not only do I take care of pets but also people! I am a registered nurse with a passion for helping others! Have a last minute trip you need to go on don’t worry I offer same day services. Just send me a message and we can work something out. I love taking care of furry friends in my free time! Request your time and I will let you know if I am available to watch your fur baby!

There will be opportunities for cuddles and snuggles. You will need to provide the food for your baby with instructions on how much and how often to feed. I do require that all fur babies be potty trained as I rent the space that I live in.

About: Hello all! My name is Lisanne and I go by Liz. I have two awesome fur babies of my own (currently living with their doggo dad in Va), and have had pets for pretty much all of my life, dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it I’ve probably cared for it. I have raised many animals from babes to adults as well. I really just love to give all pets the love and attention they deserve and understand life can get busy but that doesn’t mean we want our four legged family to feel loved any less. I do not currently board at this point in time, but will happily come to you to house sit. I will send you quality iPhone portrait photos of your fur babe and our adventures on request 🤗 My schedule has changed from student to working full time, but I always try to keep my Rover account active and work with the new fur babies when I can! My availability within the service description is accurate at this time, and we can discuss other needs should they arise. I will make sure all of your recommendations and precautions are very well followed. I always carry extra leashes and items that may be needed, and even if the yard is fenced in, will not leave animals unattended.
