“As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous leaving our dog with a sitter, but Rebecca & Jonathan did an incredible job and quickly put our minds at ease. They were attentive, trustworthy, and took great care of our dog. We truly appreciated the experience and would absolutely book with them again! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Frank and Beans really enjoyed their time with Dhara. She kept them so active they had a lazy evening and slept the entire night! They usually get up once or twice. I will definitely have them visit Dhara again in the future. Thank you Dhara!”
About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone
“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I promise to care for your pet as I would care for my own! I am extremely attentive to my dogs and would expect the same from others. I love all animals but have also felt more connected to dogs as I grew up owning them! My dogs are well cared for and loved! As a pet owner, I plan the needs of my dogs around my tasks for the day! I always make my dogs a priority and would do the same for others! I am attentive to my dogs and understand how quickly they can wander. I keep a close watch on their behaviors and understand and act upon behaviors that are not normal. My dogs are family and I understand the love owners have towards their animals.
About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
About: I've been caring for my own family pets for over 10 years and have also provided pet care for friends and family while they travel. I'm comfortable with daily feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering simple routines, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet their routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each family's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special routines. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision and positive attention. While my family loves animals and my children enjoy helping with supervised play and affection, I am the adult responsible for all pet care and supervision. I believe in treating every pet like one of our own and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax while they're away.
“Veronika is the absolute best! She has watched our dog, Howie, for over one year. She is always super accommodating, allowing us to pick him up at different times according to our needs. She is always available and very responsive. She treats our dog like he is her own. She feeds him and gives him his medications. She takes excellent care of him. I would not trust my dog to anybody else. She has even watched him overnight for an entire week. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. She always sends pictures and updates and keeps us informed of everything. I would highly highly recommend Veronika. She is absolutely amazing.”
“Rocket is very clingy and timid and he has never stayed with a stranger but Karen was so kind, patient and wonderful that our little friend did just fine. If we ever need a sitter in Kokomo we will definately pick Miss Karen. ?”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of my own along with family and friend’s dogs. Able to work on training and take for regular walks. Currently working from home. Able to pay close attention to your pet and take on regular walks. Will ensure your pet has plenty of exercise and feels comfortable in our home. I have a large yard along with many walking trails in our neighborhood. Friendly family dog in the home. Able to care for pets and plants in their own home if preferred.
“Dustin has been a wonderful sitter for Patty. She loves going to his daycare and is always happy and tired from playing when we pick her up. As soon as we pull in Dustin’s driveway, she gets very excited and is ready to go play with her furry friends. He has a wonderful wooded area behind the house where he takes the pups walking and Patty always looks so happy running through the woods that it makes me jealous I can’t stay too. Patty is well cared for and always excited to see Dustin and her furry friends. She can be shy and will avoid people and places where she has had negative experiences so I know she is happy and having fun at daycare. We are so happy we found Dustin a couple years ago.”
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
About: My furry family has been growing since 2017! Over the years, we’ve rescued, puppy trained, and kitten trained our way to a home filled with three four-legged friends. During COVID, we spent about a year fostering animals through our local shelter. We quickly learned we weren’t the best foster parents because we ended up adopting one of the kittens from our very own litter! There are currently more animals in our home than humans, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🐾 My husband and I both work from home, which gives us the flexibility to provide walks, check-ins, and plenty of love and attention whenever your pets need it! I'm currently working full time but I work remotely so have the flexibility to come check on your animals whenever! We are also available most weekends. We have a fenced in yard, so if play time calls, they can go in and out as much as they want! We have plenty of toys and two dogs to keep them company. We also try to go on walks once or twice a day so they will get their steps in if they like to get out of the house!
“Lauren was great. She agreed to watch my two babies short notice over the new years holiday. She sent me pictures and I really felt like they were in great hands. It's a relief to know that when I am in town next time, I will have a reliable person to watch my kiddos.”

I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand how deeply they’re loved as family. I also hold a degree in Psychology from Florida State University, which gives me a strong understanding of behavior, emotional needs, and patience—helping me create a calm, reassuring environment for every dog. We recently said goodbye to our sweet dog who lived nearly 18 wonderful years. While we aren’t ready to welcome another of our own just yet, we have so much love to give. Caring for other dogs feels like a meaningful way to honor him while giving pet parents peace of mind that their dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for. I am home full-time as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I am available for boarding and daycare most weekdays and weekends with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. Because I only accept one family’s pet at a time, early booking is encouraged.

For dogs who enjoy walks, we also have a quiet neighborhood trail nearby, and I’m happy to include them in my regular 3-mile walks if appropriate.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks at my family home that each weigh over 120 pounds, so I'm very comfortable handling large, energetic breeds as well as dogs of all sizes. I've always enjoyed spending time with animals, whether that's going on walks, playing outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and companionship (I love to cuddle with dogs). Growing up, I regularly babysat and cared for my neighbors' dogs whenever they were away, which taught me how important it is to provide dependable, loving care while owners are gone. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, stop by for drop-in visits, or house sit while you're away, I'll treat your house and pets like they're my own. I'm reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I work remotely and have a very flexible work routine. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, allowing me to provide dependable care whenever it's needed. I always follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages if you want so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 531 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Goldsmith. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Goldsmith commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 531 sitters in Goldsmith, 82% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
