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 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.🤩

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.

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.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
