About: I have been taking care of pets for family members and friends for over 5 years now. It started when a friend had an emergency out of town and needed help. It was a pleasure to sit in and feed, play, and send goofy pictures of my friend’s dog to provide ease and comfort during a hard time. I work full time and that means my cats are fed on a routine. They require a special diet that requires portioned meals and time to play. I have an active pet cam that I am able to use to talk to them when I am not home to provide comfort and time dispensers for treats. I will abide by your routine and follow directive on when to feed, when to walk, and when to provide or administer medication. Only you know your companion best and in order to provide safety and structure, as your care-taker it would be a privilege to honor your schedule and routine.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have been actively involved in the rescue community for over 10 years and have extensive experience working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. I hold a degree in Animal Science and have gained hands-on experience working at a local animal shelter as well as as a pet care technician in a pet store. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. I am able to care for cats and am very knowledgeable about their unique needs and personalities. I am also able to board dogs, provided they are friendly with cats and children. Since I work from home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of supervision, attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a calm and loving environment, I am committed to providing the same level of care and compassion that I would give my own animals. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and at ease while you’re apart. I work from home full time so I will be on YOUR pets schedule. I do have small children but they have been taught how to be around animals appropriately. They love to play with the animals but will never be unattended with them. I will provide whatever needs YOUR pet needs. They are all different and have different needs and schedules. I allow free roaming. Pets on furniture. Pets sleeping in the bed. Whatever your baby is most comfortable with is what they will get here.

About: Hi! I’m Jordyn, and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up in veterinary clinics, later became a veterinary technician and groomer, and now I’m living my dream as the founder and owner of JoJo’s Pack House LLC. My goal has always been to create a place where dogs are treated like family while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities - including seniors, puppies, special needs, and dogs who require medications or extra attention. Every dog who stays with me is treated like one of my own, with kindness, patience, love, and respect. So if you would like your animal(s) to get the time, love, and care that they always deserve, please feel free to contact me anytime. To give every dog the attention they deserve and to keep our daily routine running smoothly, drop-off and pick-up appointments are scheduled during designated appointment windows. DAYCARE HOURS: 8AM-5:00PM Full day or Half days available. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, grooming, and professional dog care, my goal is to provide a fun, low stress, home style environment where every dog feels like part of the family. Your pet’s safety and well being are always my highest priorities. I have two friendly pups (dachshund and terrier mix) that love to make new friends! We have a fully fenced backyard and the pups are never left outside unattended. I intentionally keep my boarding small and personal so every guest receives plenty of one on one attention, love, and care. I send daily photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a safe and fun vacation! You’ll never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I love keeping owners updated throughout their stay. Every guest enjoys supervised outdoor time throughout the day, with potty breaks at least every three hours or more often if needed.

About: I've always wanted to have as many dogs as my living situation can handle! Dog sitting is an opportunity for me to do what I love! I rescued my first dog in 2014 and shortly after that I volunteered to be a foster mom to (2) 6 week old pit/lab mixes. It was definitely a handful, but I learned how to manage multiple dogs at once. Everything escalated from there to now! I love taking my dogs to the park, to the country, and to the beach when it's warm enough! They sure do love to play! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and have experience caring for dogs through Rover. I live in Conroe and am in between jobs, so I am flexible depending on location and scheduling needs. I am available for extended house sitting and overnight stays, as long as my two friendly dogs are able to come with me. They are well-socialized, get along great with other animals, and are used to being around new pets and environments. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and consistent care while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in their routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I keep homes clean, secure, and well cared for, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I am attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I always use safe leash and handling practices during walks and outings. If house sitting, my dogs may accompany me with owner approval. They are friendly, well-socialized, and get along well with other animals. I always supervise introductions and interactions to ensure a safe and stress-free environment for everyone.

About: I have owned and operated my own dog boarding business for the last 5 years. I have also been blessed through those years, of caring for dogs & being able to meet ALL their wonderful humans!! I also opened Arizona's 1st Doggy Ice Cream Bar in 2023 and it was so much fun!! 🐶🎉 I truly love our 4 legged friends and I think it shows in my news articles/reviews. I don't think you will ever find another sitter that will care for your pup like I do!! ☺️♥️🐶 It is ALL day... EVERYDAY!! I revolve around their schedule! THEY come first!! Dogs are my LIFE & I wouldn't want it any other way!! 😅♥️🐶👍 I can accommodate the dog to WHATEVER the owner wants FOR the dog. It's ALL about "Them". Their needs come first and I can assure you that those needs will be met.

“We were very pleased with Amy’s reliability & attention to detail while dropping in on our 2 kitties. She went above and beyond for us by also helping a neighbor with a lost kitty, retrieving an unexpected package & cleaning up after the kitties as if they were her own. Sent us many pictures along the way that made us feel confident that our pets were in the very best hands. We will be re-booking with Amy in the very near future. Thanks again, Amy! 😊”

About: Welcome to my profile! I'm Trinity, a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. With over 5 years of dog sitting experience, I've had the joy of meeting and caring for countless canine companions. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I've learned to tailor my care to meet the unique needs of each pup. As an animal enthusiast, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your dog. Whether it's a quick 30 minute walk or an extended stay, I'm dedicated to giving your dog the attention and love they deserve. My experience includes administering medication, following special diets, and providing extra TLC for dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart? I'm not just a dog sitter I'm a dog mom at heart! I believe that every dog deserves to be treated like royalty, and I take pride in building strong bonds with each pup in my care. Your dog's happiness and wellbeing are my top priority, and I promise to provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you're away. Let's get this paw some adventure started! I can't wait to meet your furry friend and give them the love and care they deserve! As a pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine is quite flexible, but here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: *Daily Routine:* - Morning: Check and respond to messages from clients, confirm appointments, and review schedules for the day. - Visits: Spend time with furry friends, following customized care plans, which may include feeding, walking, playtime, medication administration, and lots of love and attention! - Afternoon/Evening: Complete visit reports, update clients on their pet's activities, and share photos (because who doesn't love pet pics?!). - End of Day: Review the next day's schedule, prepare for upcoming visits, and wind down (often with my own furry companion by my side). *Weekly Routine:* - Client Meetings: Schedule meet-and-greets with new clients, discuss their pet's needs, and create personalized care plans. - Pet Care Tasks: Rotate toys, refresh supplies, and perform administrative tasks (like invoicing and bookkeeping). - Ongoing Education: Stay updated on pet care best practices, attend webinars or workshops, and expand my knowledge on animal behavior, health, and wellness. - Self-Care: Make time for activities that help me recharge, like exercise, reading, or spending time with friends and family. *Flexibility:* - Last-minute bookings or schedule changes? No problem! I adapt to ensure seamless care for pets. - Unexpected vet visits or emergencies? I'm prepared to handle situations with compassion and professionalism. By prioritizing organization, communication, and flexibility, I ensure that pet care remains the heart of my daily and weekly routine. *In Client's Home:* 1. *Familiar Environment*: Care for pets in their own home, reducing stress and anxiety. 2. *Customized Care*: Follow clients' detailed care instructions, ensuring consistency and familiarity for their pets. 3. *Home Comforts*: Maintain the pet's regular routine, including feeding times, sleep schedules, and play activities. 4. *Household Management*: Water plants, collect mail, and keep an eye on the home, providing added peace of mind for clients. 5. *Regular Updates*: Send clients photos, videos, and detailed reports, keeping them connected to their pets while away.

About: As a dog parent to Winston, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I bring patience, kindness, and attention to their routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for my dog, Winston, is already part of my daily routine. I plan pet visits around my other commitments so I can give each pet dedicated time for walks, meals, play, and companionship. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, and care. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and any special needs. I’ll respect your home and keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Gary

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gary is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 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 November 2026, there are 2,409 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gary. 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 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 Gary. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
