“Gabriel did a fantastic job with communication, photos, and videos. He came right as expected and went above and beyond on the job. He is truly a wonderful pet sitter that anyone can trust!”
“I’m sorry I fat-fingered my address - DUH! (I’ve corrected it.). Thanks so much for your help. Ron’s kids and grandkids are in Ohio so we go frequently and it doesn’t work to take the dogs. Glad to have found Rover so we don’t have to board them. Thanks so much!”
“Lauren was an amazing cat sitter. We left my cat, sova, for 10 days to elope + honey moon. I was so anxious because I’ve never left him for such a long extended time period. Lauren came over for a meet and greet. Sova loved her off the bat. She was a great communicator, sent live updates, and took tons of pics. Will 100% be re-booking.”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. I’ll treat your pets as if they’re part of my family. I have experience giving insulin injections and oral meds. I’ve cared for puppies to senior dogs. I have experience with dogs with behavioral issues and special needs. I’d love to help care for your pets. I am available daily for drop-ins, walking, playtime in the clients home.

“Bailey is great with my fur balls! I can tell they like her and enjoy her visits by the interaction in the photos she sends while I am gone. Truly appreciate her caring for them when I have to travel!”
“Jordan was a wonderful sitter and took such great care of my cat while my husband and I were on a long trip. She was consistent with her care and provided detailed updates and adorable pictures. Our chronically shy cat really warmed up to Jordan and they were fast friends. As a bonus, Jordan’s sons were welcome and respectful additions. I loved that our cat got to interact with multiple caring people while we were away.”
“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!”
“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”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 and am currently a vet student, so I have a deep understanding of pet health and behavior. Whether it’s high-energy puppies or seniors needing extra patience, I provide specialized care including feeding, bathing, and walking. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. Since I’m a student, my schedule is flexible and I can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can do weekday drop-ins or walks after my classes. Your pets will get plenty of one-on-one attention and playtime with me! I prioritize a safe and stress-free environment, whether I’m in your home or mine. I’m very observant of animal body language and health signs thanks to my studies. I can easily crate pets if needed and I always make sure they’re in a secure, fenced area when outside. I’ll keep you updated with photos so you know your fur baby is happy and in good hands!
“Katy was communicative and punctual, and she shared lots of details and photos about her visit with Otis! He immediately loved her as soon as they met, which put my mind at ease knowing my little guy was in great hands!!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, however, I certainly have the most experience with caring for cats and dogs as they have lived in my home all this time and still do today! I am currently on summer break for school and therefore I am available any hour of almost every day until school starts back up in the middle of August! When it comes to my own pets, my cats have full access to food as they all have the same diet, and they are additionally fed wet food twice a day. They are also given outdoor time and all of mine are trained to stay around the house and come back inside when prompted! Their litter boxes are cleaned daily, each of them are brushed regularly, etc. When it comes to dogs, my family dog is fed twice a day, taken on walks at least once a day, spends lots of time outdoors, and is groomed routinely. All of these are dependent on owners, but that is how things are done in my house hold specifically!
“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”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals for 4 years now. Cats, dogs, hedgehogs, fish etc. I enjoy taking care of animals and I would love to help take care of yours! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule and have no problem discussing what works best for the both of us. I will do my best to maintain a schedule for the pet and work with the client to see what makes the client and pet the most happy!
About: I have watched several breeds of small/medium dogs and some labs/golden retrievers. I love cuddling with animals and playing with them. We can’t have many pets here so I enjoy hanging out with others fur babies. I work full time M-Thur until 5:15. Fridays I’m off and most weekends I have open to help out. I’m available some evenings too during the week. I’m great at giving dogs medication whether it be a liquid med or pill form. I am a medical assistant , for 18 yrs, so have some medical background to help out. I am very trusting and can give several references.
“Heather and her family were great! I enjoyed receiving updates regarding the visit along with photos. Houston seems like he really enjoyed his company and play time”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fortville on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,649 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fortville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fortville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
