About: I was a Rover caregiver for several years, then I adopted a rescue who is reactive to other dogs and had to stop boarding/sitting. I missed interacting with all the great pets I met, so I'm back in action for drop-in visits and walks on weekends. I've been caring for friends' and family pets for almost 30 years. I'm typically very good with anxious/shy dogs, and I'm not squeamish about dogs who give lots of slobbery kisses LOL I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on the weekends or on holidays when I have the day off from work. When doing walks or drop-in visits, I follow my clients' instructions, and have no problems with feeding or administering medications. I also let your pets set the pace and give them space & time needed to get used to me being in their space.
“Jadiana was so great with my huge dog!! she was super easy to contact and kept me updated which I really appreciated. She was really really sweet and took great care of my puppy, I will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Tammy I’m offering you and your beloved dog top notch quality dog care. As I offer 1:1 dog care in my home 24/7 and/or your home on weekends only. Each overnight stay is per 24 hrs. anything over is an Extended stay. I only care for 1 special dog at a time, unless there’s more than one dog in your family. Your dog will receive lots of 1:1 time from me. We will enjoy lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding times, naps and of course lots of belly and ear rubs! Rest assured your pet will be cared for as my own. As I will provide lots of TLC in a clean safe environment. I’ve cared for puppies to senior dogs most of my life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, fostered dogs, adopted dogs during my life and worked with Veterinarian’s. My love for dogs is unmeasurable. I love 💕 Dogs 🐶 and they bring me lots of joy and happiness🥰 So go away on your fun get-away and let your pet play and stay with me today! Ruff Ruff 🐶 I work from home and love 💕 caring for dogs 🐶 So I have lots of time to care for your fur baby while your away. I’ll treat your family member like my own. We’ll have tons of fun and adhere to regular feeding times. In addition, I can administer Rx (if needed). I’m available but must book in-advance as my schedule fills up! I offer your dog free roaming of my home and allow them on my furniture and on the bed. I have all size crates available if needed. However, owners should feel free to bring any items of their own for a more comfortable stay. As it helps a lot to have a few of your dogs own belongings at my home for a great retreat. Some examples include: favorite toys, dog bed, blankets, t-shirt (w/your scent), treats and crate mat, please provide enough dog food for their stay. Please inform me of any food allergies and or any medications if needed to be administered ahead of time. Dogs in my care must be up-to-date on their flea/tick/heart worm protection and all their vaccinations! Please make me aware of any issues before dropping off dog 🐶 I do have a small, medium & XXL crate available if needed, just request upon booking. I specialize in hosting one special dog at a time (no cats allowed). This is a Happy Dog 🐶 Retreat 1:1 🥰 Please share with me likes and dislikes. I want to know as much as I can for a happy retreat! I have a tether in back yard with no fence. I do have a pond in my back yard so we will enjoy scenic wildlife & peaceful safe environment. I enjoy walks, so we will enjoy going outside for lots of exploring and potty walks. However, it’s up to the dog as every dog is different. Please let me know their preferences. Communication is key! I will send lots of photos and give you updates daily with your fur baby’s stay with me.🤩
About: My wife and I have been taking care of animals (dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs and bunnies) since we were very young. As we get closer to retirement, we would like to spend more time doing what we love and that's caring for animals. We have well over 40 years of experience caring for animals and feel like I should have been a veterinarian. My son started a pet sitting business when he was in 7th grade and has built a strong base over the last 6 years. I thought it might be great to build it with him and sign up for Rover to assist additional people in our community. Your pet will receive all day attention as I am working from home and am here to take routine breaks for potty, walks, attention and play time. While our yard is not fenced, it is large and wooded and I spend a lot of time outside with our dog and the dogs in our care. We do go for long walks at Potters Bridge nearby along the river and in the woods and I take lots of time every day to give our guests the attention they need. Need products for your pet? Go to OptimalPetProductsDOTcom and check it out With my wife working at home & me being home by noon most days, we are able to be home w/ dogs all day so they do not have to be crated, kenneled and receive a lot of attention throughout the day. We do not have a fenced yard but do have a substantial dog run that we hook up to allow dogs to have a lot of exercise. Most of their exercise would be one on one with walks and play. We do have crates, but we typically do NOT crate our guests unless we are told to do so by an owner. Some owners prefer dogs crated at night, but we do not do that unless that is part of the owner's instructions. We do read the instructions for daily care closely on the Rover app to ensure that your dogs are up at the right time, fed correctly and receive medications or supplements as required. We take your instructions to heart and very seriously as this is your family member who you care for on a regular basis and we don't want to upset their schedule when they return home with you after their busy and playful stay here.

“We were relieved to find Kendall on Rover to help us with care for our 2 dogs & 2 cats while we were away! She was very detailed in taking notes and very kind and loving to our animals. We will definitely have her back!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and other animals for neighbors, friends, and family since I was really young. I have done many things such as walking and feeding the animals. I am currently about to start a PRN job. This job will vary weekly but I will do my best to update my calander constantly. I am a very flexible and caring person and will accommodate the visit to any specific needs you might have as I am caring for your pet.
About: I’ve had my own dog now for about 12 years! I’ve been taking good care of her! Always there when she needs of me and her assistance. I’m a college student that loves pets. I would love to take care of a pet between my breaks of studying. I only study so this is perfect for me🙂 I make sure my pets have food and water. I also am very aware of their needs. I love and care for dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and I love playing with her. My boyfriend has a lot of cats and I enjoy taking care of them when his parents are out of town.
“We have some dogs that take a few visits to get to know and Chelsi was able to earn their trust. She is always on time for her visits, communicates well for bookings and during her visits, and we feel good about her caring for our dogs while we are gone. I would definitely recommend Chelsi as a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Alexandria was a great sitter during our extended time away from our pets. She made the pets feel comfortable, followed all our instructions, and communicated following her visits and as we needed. Should we need a sitter in the future, we'll certainly reach out to her again! We highly recommend.”
“Cheyenne has been awesome. We have an older greyhound who needs a little extra care. He can be a bit timid but he loves Cheyenne. Went up to her right away, which he doesn't do with strangers. She has done such a wonderful job with him that we couldn't be happier.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fortville
Brittney is amazing! She has watched our dogs a few times and she is so good with them. I can tell from her messages that she really pays attention to them and has gotten to know their personalities. She puts effort in to help them feel comfortable and not stressed while we are away, and they are excited to see her when she comes over. It helps me feel more at ease leaving them when we go away because I know she is taking good care of them.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fortville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,465 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fortville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fortville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
