“Amara took such good care of my baby! She sent frequent pictures and updates. She was sitting other dogs which was good for my dog because she is very social. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Heather took excellent care of our two dogs. It was their first night away from home and they were relaxed and happy when we came to pick them up. We’ve already booked their next stay with her. I’m happy to recommend her services!”
“Anne was absolutely AMAZING! I tend to be the over worrying dog mom whenever I’m away. I just want to make sure my boys are being good and that they are okay away from us. With one of our boys being a rescue I always worry that he will think we aren’t coming back. Anne put every worry I could have had completely at ease from long before we ever dropped them off. She is amazing at communication and making sure you and your dogs feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates throughout their stay which made being away so much easier and relaxing. I highly recommend choosing Anne and I promise you will return! I couldn’t thank her enough for the love, attention, and care she gave our fur babies.”
“My dog Scarlett has a hard time being left at kennels and being around other dogs scares her sometimes. She felt very comfortable around Mindy and Carter when she spent a week with them and gave us piece of mind also. She also looked to love their big yard too.”
“Joscelyn and her family took such good care of Willow! My husband and I had no worries whatsoever about her staying with them and felt we could fully relax while we were away. I honestly think our dog had more fun with them playing with their dog than at our house 😂. We WILL be taking Willow over again when we have to be out of town.”
“Lyndsey is AMAZING! Very affordable and sent daily messages for an update while I was away from my fur baby. Her and her family loved my pup as their own and I would recommend her services to EVERYONE. Will def be using her again for future vacations.”
“Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”
“Alexis is a five star host without a doubt, and quite possibly a professional photographer in the making 😃. We received regular update (complete with pictures) of our dog on a regular basis. She was very accommodating and made our first experience with Rover an easy one. I would definitely recommend her, if you need someone to watch your pet!”
“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”
“5 stars is not enough !! My dog had the best care here - we got pictures every day, they have a big fenced in back yard and are just the sweetest couple !! I don’t think one could find a better pet sitter.”

“This is the first time we used Jami for our dog Lexi. Jami is very prompt with her responses and very friendly. She sent daily updates. Our dog had a great time and was very happy when we came to pick her up. We will be using her again and would recommend!”
“We are so happy to have found Eddie. Leaving our girl behind while we were on vacation was difficult. Within the first day we felt so relieved Eddie sent a photo of Brooklyn sitting in a familiar way and we quickly believed she was totally comfortable. What a great feeling!! We found our go-to guy and as a result will be traveling more often sans Brooklyn. Thanks Eddie”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them! I have experience caring for my own Goldendoodle, Ruger, and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. I currently work night shifts, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m home during the day and can be flexible with drop-offs, pick-ups, and care routines. I live in an apartment with several walking trails right in my backyard, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air, and exploring! In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, bathroom, and exercise routines so they feel right at home.

Thank you April for watching Kuma again. We got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and it let us go on our vacation worry free. Even when I overslept for his pick up (I’m still so sorry about that!!!) April made sure to have all his things ready to go and that he was comfy in the meantime :)
She was phenomenal! Just so kind and patient with my dogs. I have a senior and a puppy (both small dogs) and she just went above and beyond for them and me! I truly cannot recommend her enough! If you’re in the area and can book with her I ABSOLUTELY would! Can’t thank her enough. She would send updates and photos daily answering questions comments and concerns. She really put me at ease and when I’m back I’ll book with her again!
This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than family which made us a little nervous. Rebecca's daily pictures and updates eased our minds. She took great care of him. I would highly recommend Rebecca for dog sitting. We will definitely use her again in the future.
Absolutely great! Our pup looked to be extremely happy and very well taken care of! Would definitely use again. She provides picture updates and quick response as well as flexible pick up and drop off times! 10 out of 10!! I would definitely book her and trust her with your furry friend!
I would absolutely recommend Geleea if you need a trustworthy,kind, and affectionate dog sitter. She took care of my Great Pyrenees while I was out of town, and gave me assurance that my dog is doing well by sending updates and pictures everyday. She put my mind at ease the whole time my dog was under her care. Thank you so much!!
My dogs are very needy and Allison & Nicholas catered to them! One dog has recently gone blind and she was carried and treated so well - making sure she knew where everything was. The other did food refusal because we were gone and they gently hand fed him - what a spoiled pup! Both dogs had wonderful outside time and were snuggled a lot. The daily pictures and videos made our hearts at ease. Thank you so much!!
Our flights were unexpectedly canceled last night, and we weren’t able to fly out until Thursday. Alexandra stepped in without hesitation and took such great care of our pets during a very stressful situation. She was incredibly kind, flexible, and reassuring, and we were so relieved knowing our pets were in good hands. We were extremely happy with the way she helped us out and took care of everything. Truly grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Mikendra was nothing short of amazing! she was definitely a life saver. she came to our rescue when we were in a last minute desperate hunt for a sitter and she definitely delivered . Our fur baby was in good hands and well taken care of. And I like the fact that she keeps you updated with pics throughout the stay of your pet. I would definitely recommend her.

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.
