“Brittney did a great job with our dogs! She was patient with our one dog that is more standoffish, and she was playful with our other dog that plays never ending fetch! I felt that she made sure they were well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and pictures. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jenna has been an incredible asset to us and a new friend to our dog Winston. She was dependable and there to take care of Winston. His care and the ability to keep him out of a kennel is very important to us. Jena did a great job!”
About: I’ve always had pets in my life, from dogs to cats, and they mean the world to me. With two pups of my own, I know how important it is to provide love, patience, and attentive care. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day to give pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll be there to keep them happy and cared for while you’re away.” When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them just as I would my own. I make sure to follow all routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I also give plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I keep the home environment tidy, respect the client’s space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure both the pets and their owners feel confident and cared for throughout the entire experience.
“Amara is great. She has stayed with our dogs for few days and has also done a drop in for us. Our dogs are happy to see her and are comfortable with her. I will continue to use her for our doggos ❤️”
About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I was 5 years old. I’ve had primarily big dogs but love little dogs as well! I’m currently working almost full-time with Rover! This is my first year pet sitting for others, but will accommodate to the family and dogs needs to the best of my ability! I take care of my 2 dogs at home and raised them pretty much on my own, so I prioritize the pet’s health and client’s wishes. I will care for your pets in your home by making sure I make them feel comfortable, relaxed, and still have them be their happy/energetic selves!
About: I love all animals. I have watched dogs, cats, snakes, iguanas, and even fish for many years for friends and family. I have also owned sugar gliders for about 15 years on and off. I cant remember the last time I did not own a pet. I enjoy being around animals and have never found one that didn’t like me. I have cared for and house sat many family and friends’ pets. I had a dog for several years that was deaf and blind in one eye who we taught our own form of sign language to for communication. It’s amazing how quickly he caught on and how adaptable he was. For the comfort of your pet I am unable to sit with your pet without a face to face meeting with you and your pet in your home. This helps him or her know me a little as well as me getting to know them. We can talk about your expectations and I can learn about your pet while I am there. They deserve nothing but the best while you are gone and this will allow me to give that to them. The holiday rate for additional pets is $25 each whether its a dog or a cat. Also any animal in a cage, aquarium, or terrarium is an extra $10 a day per cage if you wish for me to do anything with them such as feeding, cleaning their cage, or anything else. This includes but is not limited to birds, iguanas, fish, hamster gerbils or mice, lizards, geckos, or sugar gliders. I will manually go in and change the total after we talk and I give you a new total. I live in Fortville, Indiana ( Hancock County) and work on the north side of indianapolis Indiana. I am available 7 days a week but I work in the office 3 days a week for my full time job. I work from home 2 days a week and off weekends so I would be available to stay all day on those days. My job let me be flexible on the days that I work from home so if you want an extended weekend and need for me to be there all day I can do that. I walk my dog and also have a fenced yard with a doggy door. My cats are always on my lap when I’m at home. They all get fed in the mornings and in the evenings. My dog likes going on walks with me around our addition.

“Braydon is highly reliable, caring to senior pet care needs and is knowledgeable in administering medications to our senior Maltipoo. He is a great communicator and has an affinity for animals.”
“Maria is a 5 star sitter who considers and applies all of the details when caring for our sweet and senior Maltipoo fur baby. My mind is at ease when I’m at work knowing that all of her needs are being taken care of. Maria is simply fabulous!”
“Savannah was so helpful and thoughtful. Her communication really made us feel very at ease while away. She took extra steps to assure our comfort and the comfort of our fur babies. Excellent service and would definitely book again.”
“Julie was great! Very communicative and attentive. She was great with my dog and was willing to drop in on short notice. I would definitely use her again when going on short trips.”
About: Hi! My name is Aimee :) I am a recent graduate from NYU! I am home most of the day as I work from home, so I am easily accessible for your pet! I have a golden lab back home in Indiana with my family, and I’m looking to take care of sweet pups while I’m in the city so I can still feel the joy of having a furry friend around while I’m away! I’ve had experience caring for my dog and dog sitting for family, friends, neighbors and rover now for a total of 12 years! It’s absolutely one of my favorite past times and would love to have it as my forever job! I’m well versed in a dog who likes to run after squirrels on walks ;) and those who need special attention to feel comfortable! I would love to take care of your sweet doggie! Their time with me will be filled with love, snuggles and lots of pictures! :) Your pet will never have to be alone for long! I am happy to take dogs on multiple walks a day and make sure to follow their routines closely. I live next to Mccarren park and am more than glad to take pups for some fun time! I always make sure to doggie proof my apartment before visits and am aware of my surroundings during stays. I live on the first floor of my apartment so going out for walks is quick and easy. I make sure to include a lot of play time and snuggles during care to insure pups are as happy as can be.
About: I’ve loved Dogs and Cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. I had my 1st dog in middle school so ,I grew up playing with them, sleeping next to them, and caring for them every day. Being around cats and dogs brings me so much joy, and I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will care for your cat or dog as if they were my own. Cats are part of my daily life. I don’t have dogs but I love it and also was my daily life when I live with my parents. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m home most of the time, so I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. During the week, I’m available from 5 PM until the next morning, and I love spending my evenings relaxing with cats by my side. In my routine, cats are never alone—they are always with me, receiving love and care. Having a dog should not be a probleem :) When caring for cats and dogs in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their feeding schedule, keep their litter box clean, afternoon walks,play with them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and respect their personality and routine. I enjoy spending quality time with cats, whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby.Trust me i will not fail:)

About: Hi, my name is Savannah and I am an all around dog lover! My husband and I are looking to make some extra money on the side and decided to take up dog sitting/walking due to our absolute love for animals. My family had a dog throughout my childhood and the two of us now have to lovable and beyond spoiled Aussiedoodles ourselves. so I have had plenty of experiences with everything from the puppy years to the many walks and cuddles. I’ve also had other experience with sitting other people’s dogs. I’m basically just looking to help out where I can. I am a very active person so I love walks/runs and being outside. Our two dogs are beyond friendly and love to play and be active with other dogs. I’m willing to be pretty flexible and open to whatever special requirements you need for your animal. I have set rates but am also able to be flexible about the price as well if needed. Hope I can help you out! I have a very large fenced in yard that allows your pups to run around and play outside as much as they like. Furniture is not off limits so if your dogs like cuddling, the option is well open. I am currently working part time and my husband and I are on opposite schedules so someone is almost always home. This will allow your pups tons of care and attention. Out fenced in yard and two friendly pups will provide tons of play time for your furry babies. We are big on snuggles and pets and have toys to share.

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.

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 .
