“Krissy did a fantastic job with our sweet Grayson. She was very attentive, sent us pics each day and even brought up a concern about Grayson not using the litter box. I would highly recommend her to anyone with pets, especially cats as I am biased in that way. We will use her again and again and again.”
About: I've had dogs since I was born and throughout my entire life. I've had puppies, senior dogs, and all big dogs! I've been sitting for neighbors and friends for years, too. I love to play inside or outside. My specialty is cuddling the love bugs. I'm currently working a very flexible part-time job as a babysitter, typically 9 am - 12 pm Mon, Tues, and Thurs. I have a reliable vehicle, so driving to a house is no problem. I keep a close eye on all the pets (mostly because I'm trying to get them to hang out with me). I set reminders and have notes to help myself keep on top of things! I am very attentive to my surroundings when I am sitting so I can keep the love bugs safe and comfortable.
About: I got my first cat when I was 13, and now I have two cats of my own, Kali and Yuki. I’ve had experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, and I also have experience caring for dogs. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want owners to feel easy knowing that their pets are in good hands. I currently work from 10-6 Mon-fri hence why I only have weekends open as they are mostly free! On weekends I’m able to walk your furry friends or just give them companionship at home and making sure they eat at a correct time! If I were to go to my clients home to care for their pets I would always be courteous and respectful towards the owners home. Always Making sure i know what the owner and their companion is comfortable with. Any worries or questions the client would have I would answer or reassure them 100%!

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!
“My husband and I traveled out of the country for a week, and Cozette was absolutely wonderful with our 2 cats. She sent us photos and a note about both cats every day during each visit. We felt confident all week that our cats were being cared for exactly how we would. 10/10”

“I’ve never left my cat, Willow, with anyone so I was really nervous to try this app out and I’m really glad that I did. I wouldn’t trust Willow with anyone else but Lauren. She did an excellent job taking care of her and provided daily updates with photos included. Definitely plan on rebooking in the future. 10/10 experience.”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

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