“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”
“Lydia was great. Wrigley was happy and playful when we came home from out trip. Lydia sent photos and really took great care of our girl! We will definitely use her again in the future”
“Malika helped care for my fur babies for a weekend (one of them needing insulin), communicated the entire time, and was flexible. I would absolutely recommend Malika to care for your babies!”
“Jenna was amazing. We left town pretty quickly and she was able to come by, even on a holiday, to take care of our kitties. We got to see pictures of them while we were gone. I can’t thank her enough.”
“We could not have been in better hands than Brittney’s!! She was so very reassuring to us and our loved ones in her care. We received photos of each pet at each visit. Brittney went out of her way to make us all feel calm and cared for. She’s the best!!”
“My pets love Kristina and I am thankful for her. She always does just what I ask her & she cares a lot for animals. I have complete peace of mind knowing she is caring for them.”
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.
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.
“Julie and her daughter teamed up to come over 5x a day and take care of our 2 older big dogs! She gave us great pictures and kept us updated on how they were. Both dogs need medicine 2x per day and she kept it all organized! It was a great first experience for leaving our pups home alone for a weekend!”
“Kylie did. Great job looking after our shy kitties for 10 days. Knew just how to approach them so one even came out to socialize ! We were very happy knowing they were being so well cared for.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have had a cat & dog of my own for the past 4+ years. I’m very comfortable administering medication, handling special accommodations, and making sure they feel safe and cared for in any situation. My animals have given me plenty of experience with car rides, new spaces, and meeting new people, so I understand how to keep them calm, safe, and happy. Friends and family have relied on me many times to care for their fur babies, and I really do enjoy spending time with them! I work a general 8am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday, but i have 1 & 1/2 days working from home a week. I am willing to work with anyone and be flexible during those work from home days. I can do long walks on my 1 hour lunch break, or work from home at your place if need be! I don’t work on the weekends, so i have plenty of time to do drop ins, take your dog on a couple walks, or just hang out with your fur babies for the day! Again, there are many times where im flexible with holidays, weekends, & some weekdays while im working from home. I’m newer to the indianapolis area, so i have only watched animals for my coworkers thus far. But my dog, Moose (who is 2 1/2), goes on a 30-45 minute walk a day at least, is crated when i’m not home, is given a medication for anxiety every morning via sliced turkey and peanut butter lol, and is taken on at least one car ride a week because he loves them! My cat, Smokey, is very social and playful, although self-sufficient, is very needy, so i have plenty experience with a needy animal. Both Moose and Smokey get along great, and i’ve loved being a mama to the both of them! Both of my babies are very friendly with other animals and are trained well. I have plenty of experience accommodating the needs of different animals and different personalities!
About: I've had young dogs and old dogs for the past 14 years! I currently have two silly Shihtzus that I love to death. I have had a weiner dog and cockapoo before for years and loved them so much. I am an avid runner and walker (40+ miles weekly) so I would love to take your pets for a walk/run! I'm currently between jobs so I am quite available as long as I'm not running a road race! I tend to get up at 5am and sleep around 9pm. I have experience crating dogs if needed. I typically will rinse out any water bowls and scrub food bowls for cleanliness before serving their next meal. I try to brush my dogs fur to avoid tangled ends at least every other day, so I am comfortable helping with that.
“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!”

Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fortville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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 2,549 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fortville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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 .
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.
