About: I have ample experience watching my friend's energetic dog. At first he was shy around me, but I was able to gain his trust and now we're buddies! :) I am doing only gig work at the moment while I am learning languages and upskilling. My schedule is very flexible and that allows me to adapt to your pet's specific needs. I pay close attention to promptings from the pet of needing additional attention and care. I also pay attention for feedback on the pet's feelings about their food.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, animals such as rodents, cats, dogs, fish and more! I have a deep love for animals and I will take care of your animals the same way I would want mine taken care of I am taking college classes in the fall, but I will still have time to take care, play, and hang out with your furry family! I will be sure to not leave anything on counters, the floor and any other place your pet may be able to access, I can easily crate animals when leaving to assure safety.
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including having two of my own. I love dogs to the point I want to become a veterinarian. I would love the experience of getting to know dogs and their personalities Pet care fits into my routine on the days I’m available: Sunday through Tuesday and Fridays. On some days I get out of school at 12, so I’m free from 1–10, and on other days I get out at 2:10, so I’m free from 3–10. I also have a part-time job at a carwash, but I can plan around it to make sure I spend plenty of quality time with I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy wherever they are. I follow the owners’ instructions for feeding, walking, and playtime, and I give lots of attention and love. I’ve cared for my own dog for over 10 years, including training and handling a dog with aggression, so I know how to manage different personalities and needs.
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.
“Kris was awesome! Sent many pictures of my cat while I was away, which eased me a lot since I get very nervous about leaving my cat. She was also very easy to communicate with and responded quickly”
“Steph did an amazing job taking care of my two fur babies! One of them is special needs because he went blind about a year and a half ago, and I was really nervous because I haven’t left him since this happened. I’ve only ever boarded my dogs before and I’m a first-time Rover user but I would absolutely book with Steph again. She followed instructions, sent updates, and went above and beyond. Thank you so so much!”
About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. If needed, I can provide house sitting on weekends. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.
“Thos was my first time using a dog sitter and Rover. I was nervous. Claire was great a reassuring me, assisting with using Rover to adjust my original request, and sending me pictures to show how she was doing. She reached out regarding issues and worked to get Cinnamon to adjust to her. I appreciated her greatly! Would definitely use River and Claire again.”
About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. I’m currently free 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and I’ll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.
About: I grew up with huskies all my life and now have had a cat of my own for 8 years! You can find me with the pets at any social gathering! I love all pets big and small! I do go into the office 5 days a week but the hours are a bit flexible! I’m free evenings and weekends to help with your pets! I’ve grew up with a large fenced in yard, so I have experience with that but currently living in an apartments in Fishers! So I know how to navigate and make the most of both environments.
“Joa is awesome! He did such an incredible job taking care of Barky and making sure he got all of the details down. Barky’s (and our) comfort were Joa’s top priority. We greatly appreciate all he did and trust him to watch Barky again!”
“Danielle is amazing, she sends tons of pictures of your pets which I love. You can tell she really loves animals so I felt very comfortable trusting her with my dog and cat! 😊”
About: IVDD experienced dachshund mom with hands on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a part time job and flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm and structured care that closely follow a dog's existing routine. I do use crate training with positive reinforcement when I have to leave the house. I offer IVDD safe handling, walks, interactive play, and will send you 2 updates per day with photos while you're away.
About: Hello and thank you for checking out my profile! I have significant pet care experience (over 20 years) both personally and professionally! I grew up in a 'dog home' so I know the ins and outs of caring for pets, including keeping a regular schedule, potty breaks, outside time, pet hair...on everything (lol), and most importantly cuddles and care. I am a firm believer in pets sensing good people. I haven't met a dog who didn't love me! I grew up with two dogs at minimum in my home (a small and large dog). I ran a professional dog sitting business prior to moving successfully for about 4 years. I am skilled in administering medicine (my hiding medicine in food skills are unmatched), providing long and short walks (beach optional), and keeping pets calm while their humans are away. While I prefer dogs, I do pet sit cats and the occasional bird. I've had the opportunity to work with clients who entrusted me with acting in the best care of their pets during their final moments if the humans happened to be away. Pet scared of weather? I can assist in keeping them calm. Pet have anxiety? I can assist (with proper instruction) to keep them calm. I am able to pet-sit multiple animals ranging in size. A lot of my skills are instinctual and I have a deep love for pets, they provide a special kind of love. I would love the opportunity to pet-sit for your fur baby(ies). My current availability is part-time. I work full time from 8:00 - 5:00 with occasional work from home days. I am available Thursdays - Sundays with more flexibility on Saturday and Sundays. I can be available on weeknights after 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. I can be very flexible, whether you need me to drop in and feed/water/walk your pets or work from your home while I take care of your pets. I currently live in an apartment, so I am available to pet-sit in your home. I don't mind traveling, staying overnight, or dropping in. I am willing to drive to nearby parks if your pet requires it.
“Scott took great care of my very anxious golden retriever! Scott was reliable and kept Meeko on his schedule. He text me about his visits and sent me pictures. He not only let him out, he played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk. He even got Meeko to eat his food, which never happens when I am away! I highly recommend Scott and will definitely be using him again!”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fortville
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.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
