“Max had a wonderful time at his daycare play date with Jennifer and her two pups! I loved all the pics and updates she sent. Looking forward to Max’s longer visit coming up in a few weeks!”

“Kelsie is amazing! Her pup Maryn is great at play and I had no concerns about my pups safety or care at their home. Kelsie is very responsible, kind and attentive and my pup has her best Rover experience here! Highly recommend!”

“We had our first visit at Taylor & Kevins house and feel very assured that our pooch was well cared for. We recently moved to Indy and we did not have any referrals for pet sitters. I had used Rover in Las Vegas with good success so I signed up here. We are home now with our dog and he is not stressed out and seems like it was just another day in his life. I would certainly feel comfortable referring them for your dog care and I will book again when we need a nice place to take our dog.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.
“Jinna has been such a WONDERFUL help! Our puppy, Pluto is a very shy and standoffish. But he does really well with DiDi! I really appreciate the time and effort that she puts into making his day great. If there’s anything of concern, she brings it to me immediately. I love all the updates and detailed summaries that we get throughout the day. And he gets lots of exercise and he has a new play buddy as well! Cannot recommend Jinna enough!!!”

About: Dedicated dog sitter with 10+years of experience providing reliable and attentive care. I offer walking, feeding, and overnight stays, ensuring your pet is safe and happy while you're away. Available for last-minute bookings. I work at an after hours vet hospital, opposite schedules with my husband so there is always someone home to make sure your pet is taken care of during their stay. I have a pet friendly and clean home, I follow specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, and other special needs to maintain the pet's established routine and comfortable environment along with regular photo and video updates per owners request.
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have always been around them. I’m very skilled in dealing with all pet ages, cats and dogs, and all kinds of different breeds. I’m very caring and love to take care of pets the best I can. I will make sure I do any caretaking to the absolute best of my ability. I have a very strong work ethic I am a very vigilant caretaker and provide lots of attention and love. I currently am taking time off from my job and graduate school so I have open availability aside from any personal life obligations. Pet care fits perfectly into my current lifestyle and I have plenty of time to dedicate towards exceptional service. I partake in daily pet care at my parents' home in many ways. I help with cleaning the cats' litter box, picking up messes/accidents around the house, and making sure to clean up animal hair with plenty of vacuuming and laundry. I also love to play with them and provide plenty of cuddles! Additionally, I have gained experience in pet care with our dog Coco throughout his multiple leg surgeries and providing 24/7 care when he was unable to put any pressure on his leg or walk. We have also had sick animals in the past that I have gained experience with. My parents also like to travel and I am the go-to house and dog babysitter during their times away. In regard to providing pet care at clients' homes, I have a year of past experience on Rover. I am always diligent about following all instructions and requests, and providing the level of care needed for each animal. Cleaning the home is also important to me and I make sure to prioritize leaving the home cleaner than I found it. I am detail-oriented and value going above and beyond with communication and exceeding my clients' standards.
“Khalie had an awesome time with Brendan and Duke. She’s always super excited to hang out with them all day. Brendan communicates very well and I always enjoyed getting pictures of Khalie playing with Duke. Highly recommend!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Laura, Chris, and their family! From the very first, it felt like our two Sheepadoodles were welcomed as part of the pack. We booked a full 6 days and every evening they would be exhausted in the best way, always excited to return. Laura and Chris were kind, communicative, and clearly dog-experts! Can’t recommend them enough!”

“Ruby had a wonderful time with Gerard and the other dogs. She was so tired when she gotnhome, and she was so excited to return later in the week. Would recommend Gerard to anyone!”

About: I have been in the pet care industry for over 30 years. Along with grooming I have helped with training and care of other pets. I am able to administer medicines and needed shots(such as insulin). Through the years I have had at least 20 pets of my own of all different shapes and sizes and also a wide variety of needs. I can't wait to love on your furry family member while you are away. I work from home as a pet groomer therefore I am available throughout the day for exercise and potty breaks along with feeding and any medicine concerns. I have over 3 acres of property to walk and exercise your pet. They are free to roam inside and be themselves. If necessary, I have teenagers who are willing to run and exercise you pet to help with the"zoomies".
“Thanks so much for getting Roxie today!! I got lots done and could relax knowing she was having fun with her besties!! I love the days she goes to your place because I know I’ll be able to sleep well that night! She comes home happily tired out every time ❤️👍🐶”

“Julie was so amazing! So grateful for her care and willingness to watch him so last minute! She has the best and sweetest attitude and willing to make it work! Thank you Julie! You are a breath of fresh air!”

About: I have had my own pets all my life but have recently been fostering and boarding dogs. I have had several pups in my care over the last couple of years and it's always a joy to have them! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them attention! I have two very friendly small dogs that love having playmates. I have a fenced in backyard with reinforced locks for security where your pup can play. We do hourly potty breaks and daily walks (weather permitting).

“Bella had a great time with Christina and her family. She was super flexible and accommodating. The visit went really well and Christina is clearly very experienced with dogs. We really appreciated her letting Bella hang out at her house.”

About: I've been a lover of dogs from the very beginning, growing up we have always had a dog in our home; from our large chocolate lab Buddy to our sassy Lhasa Apso Rosie. They were a big part of my up bringing and I will continue to spread the love of dogs as much as I can. My husband and I have been dog sitting other puppies and dogs for almost 10 years now, starting from gaining references from work and would like to now expand as I will be working from home for the foreseeable future...so I'm here to help! We do have a 5-year old Border Collie/Boxer mix name Clark that is fully trained and loves playing and snuggling with other dogs if they are up to it. We have purposely trained him to welcome other dogs and puppies, and has yet to meet a dog he doesn't love, so having some energy around here is just fine :) We do have a two little boys under the age of 3 (including an infant), that loves dogs as much as we do. We ask if you do board with us that your dog is welcome little kids. Much appreciated! I work from home, so pet care during the day is not a problem. Break time and lunch walks happen frequently as well, especially when the weather is in our favor. We treat our client's dogs as if they are our own. Also, realizing this is their vacation time too while their family is away so an extra walk or treat (if okay with parents) happens too.
