About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.

“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”

“Stephanie was amazing & I can't rave about her more. I flew my fur babies from NYC to Indiana to be closer to my parents while I was in Europe for a month to feel comfortable that they were in good hands. Not only did I feel comfortable, I knew right away from her energy that she loved animals & so did my babies b/c they took up to her right away. My Mini Bernedoodle is very shy around strangers & I have only seen him like anyone more than me & my Mom. He became her shadow & she sent great updates & pictures during my trip. Her backyard is an added bonus & I will no doubt fly them to Indiana again if I ever have a long trip. She is a gem, book her now!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I’ve had several cats and dogs (of all sizes) while growing up! My current dog is a german shepherd/blue heeler mix, and she loves having some fur friends over to hang out!! We’ll make your fur babies feel like part of the family while you are away!! 😊 I’m home most of the day, so have plenty of time to have fun with your fur babies!! I can easily adjust my schedule around their needs! My yard is not fenced in, so they will have to be let out on a leash! I live right next to a park, so we can take daily walks!

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your home respectful, and provide regular updates and photos while you are away. I am currently enrolled in classes at IU, so Mondays and Wednesdays are my busiest days, although I am still available during those evenings. I have flexible daytime and nighttime availability the rest of the week, including weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I live in a comfortable apartment with convenient access to dog parks and several local parks for walks, exercise, and playtime. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and safety instructions while keeping pets comfortable and supervised. I will also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy.

About: I've been providing reliable, loving pet care since 2017, with most of my experience caring for pets in their own homes where they feel comfortable and secure. As I expand my services to include boarding in my home, I'm excited to offer a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for your furry family members. I'm a proud dog mom to three friendly girls, each around 25 pounds, who love making new friends and sharing their home with visiting pups. They are well-socialized, enjoy playing with other dogs, and are always excited when a new guest comes over for a sleepover. Whether your pet is staying overnight or for an extended visit, you can count on them receiving plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care—just like one of my own. 🐾 I work full-time, so my schedule closely mirrors a typical Monday–Friday routine, which can help provide consistency for pets that are used to being home during the workday. My three dogs are crate-trained and comfortably spend time resting while I'm at work. I also have opportunities to work from home on occasion, allowing for extra supervision and interaction throughout the day. If your furry family member needs a midday potty break, I'm happy to come home during my lunch break to accommodate their needs. Outside of work hours, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship as part of our daily routine. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible. 🐾 I provide a safe, structured, and welcoming environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard, and all dogs are supervised during outdoor time, whether they're taking a potty break, exploring, or enjoying playtime. Safety is always my top priority, so pets are never left unattended outside. Inside the home, pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and opportunities to relax and play. I work to maintain a routine that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they're away from home, ensuring they get the care, exercise, and affection they need throughout their stay. 🐾

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

99% of sitters in Furnace can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Furnace home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Furnace.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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.

You and your Furnace sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
