Pet Sitting Hardscrabble

“Paige was so good with our Lindy! She took the time to meet her before hand. Her updates and pictures helped us feel at ease while we were away, knowing Lindy was well taken care of!”

“We’re so lucky we found Laila on Rover. We had a last minute weekend trip and she took so much of the stress off knowing our boy was going to be well taken care of. She went above and beyond with his walks and cuddles and even sent us quite a bit of pictures while we were gone. We could tell our pup had a good, long weekend with his new friend. We were even greeted by a sweet note when we got home, proving she was the best sitter. Boady is already looking forward to his next adventure with her!”

“Gabriel is fantastic and does a great job each time he has cared for our dogs. He sends pictures and videos with each visit and notifies us of any concerns. We will continue to use Gabriel in the future!”

Marie K.

“Kat did an amazing job!! She went above and beyond to take care of Lucy and Emy. I will absolutely want her to sit for my girls again!!! She’s extra special!!”

About: I’ve loved Dogs and Cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. I had my 1st dog in middle school so ,I grew up playing with them, sleeping next to them, and caring for them every day. Being around cats and dogs brings me so much joy, and I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will care for your cat or dog as if they were my own. Cats are part of my daily life. I don’t have dogs but I love it and also was my daily life when I live with my parents. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m home most of the time, so I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. During the week, I’m available from 5 PM until the next morning, and I love spending my evenings relaxing with cats by my side. In my routine, cats are never alone—they are always with me, receiving love and care. Having a dog should not be a probleem :) When caring for cats and dogs in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their feeding schedule, keep their litter box clean, afternoon walks,play with them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and respect their personality and routine. I enjoy spending quality time with cats, whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby.Trust me i will not fail:)

About: Hi there! 🐾 thanks for stopping by my profile! I grew up in Fishers and recently moved back after graduating from Purdue Engineering to start my career. Outside of work, I’m happiest spending time at home with my dog, hanging out with family, getting lost in a good book, or working on a crochet or sewing project. I’m excited to be back in the Fishers area and to make the most of this new chapter! As for dogs… I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! My love for dogs started when my family got our first dog, Buddy, when I was seven, and it’s been a big part of my life ever since. Over the years, my family welcomed Timber and Carly, and I adopted my own dog, Meadow, while I was in college. I’ve had the joy of being involved in raising and caring for all of them, and I’ve always loved getting to know each dog’s unique personality. A lot of my experience comes from being hands-on with their everyday care, including training, grooming, nail trims, and all the little things that go into keeping a dog happy and healthy. My family’s dog Timber also has a disability, which has given me experience with providing extra care, being patient, and adapting to a dog’s individual needs. I’ve also worked professionally with dogs as a Day Camp Counselor at 4-Paws Lodge in Fishers, Indiana, where I spent the summer caring for pups, keeping them entertained, and making sure they were safe and happy. I followed owners’ specific care instructions, provided enrichment, and even helped train new employees in proper dog handling techniques. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I’d be so happy to spend some time with yours! Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company while you’re away, I want every visit to be a positive experience. I’m happy to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I also know how much our pets mean to us, so I’m happy to send photos and updates throughout my visits so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to give your pup plenty of love and attention while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! ❤️🐶 I work full-time, so my availability varies from week to week. I have an alternative work schedule that gives me alternating four-day weekends off, which allows me extra flexibility for walks and drop-in visits on those days! I’m generally available on my scheduled days off and weekends, but I’m not available for visits during the workdays I am working. Since my schedule isn’t the same every week, I recommend reaching out with your preferred dates and times so we can see if they line up! I’m happy to plan ahead whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability. I look forward to finding opportunities to spend time with your pups! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 I know every dog has their own routine, personality, and individual needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and help your pup feel comfortable with me. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time together at home, I’ll make sure they’re supervised, safe, and getting the attention they deserve. Having years of hands-on experience with my own dogs, including training, grooming, and caring for a dog with a disability, has taught me the importance of patience and adapting to each dog’s needs. I’m happy to follow your preferred routines for walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any additional care your pup may need. When visiting your home, I’ll respect your space and make sure your dog has everything they need before I leave. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout my visits, so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a safe, positive, and loving experience for both you and your furry family member! ❤️

“Elizabeth has come for mid-day potty breaks for my two pups - she’s been a great communicator and has arrived right on time. I appreciate her care with my little (big) dudes!”

About: I have had a dog all my life and I love animals. Of all kinds!! Since I have had a dog all my life I know how to take care of dogs and I have also been volunteering at my local humane society at home for about 6 years. I have also worked in a vet clinic for 3 years. So I have experience with giving medication of any kind, I can also trim nails, clean ears, give them baths, etc. I also love to give dogs walks. I care for animals so much. I love to spoil animals because I feel like they deserve so much more love than they get. And that they are just too good for us, and that’s why I love them so much. Monday- Wednesday I work 8-5, Thursday I work 8:30-5:30, Friday I work 8:30-1 but every 4th Friday I work 1-5:30 and I am off Saturday and Sundays so I will be more than happy to work around your schedule. But I will be more than happy to go over before and after work. I will play outside or inside with you pet. I can easily crate them as well if you crate your animals when you are away. I can take them to a dog park near by as well if you like. At home with my pets I play with them with their toys, give them treats, have them run in my backyard and I give them lots of pets.

“Tracy is absolutely wonderful! She came when promised and was prompt in tesponding. Loved all the pictures she sent. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I studied veterinary assistant in high school for 2 years. I love animals of all kinds. I have done petting sitting for 5 years. Besides caring for my own animals, I have fostered cats. I am able to lovingly provide care for your pet anytime day or night and any day of the week for any length of time. I specialize in weekly care while you are away from home on vacation or for work, allowing your pet to remain at home. I will care for your pets at your home so your pets can remain in their own home. This is less stressful on your pet.

“Kyla was amazing!! She dropped in many times throughout the weekend to feed, change our kitties water, and spend some time playing with them! Our kitties & family both loved her and will be surely returning for services as she is very professional, so so kind, and truly has a huge heart for animals!! 😇”

“Mikaela was arrived on time and took great care of Rue. She was very easy to communicate with and followed the directions I left to a tee.”

“Jasmine is the absolute best!! She goes above and beyond - even taking in our trash can and bringing in our packages. She is so sweet and cleans up a little as well. She even stays with my pets for at least half an hour every visit and gives them loving. I don't trust anyone more than Jasmine and will keep choosing her as my #1 to watch my pets!”

About: Hi! I’m Sidnie, a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs, and I understand how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. One of the biggest reasons I joined Rover is because two of my own dogs have anxiety in boarding and daycare settings. Finding someone I trust to care for them in the comfort of our home has always been important to me, and I want to provide that same peace of mind for other pet parents. Although I’m newer to Rover, I’ve spent the past eight years caring for my own pets every day. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I work downtown Indianapolis on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and remotely the rest of the week, giving me the flexibility to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. You’ll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I give my own. I work remotely most of the week, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time with pets throughout the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, I’m in downtown Indianapolis from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and I work from home the rest of the week. Every pet is different, so I carefully follow your care instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s medications, feeding schedules, potty breaks, or favorite walking routes, I’ll care for your pet the way you do.

“Joe was amazing! Very attentive to both our pups! We had a last minute change to our booking and Joe was super accommodating. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

About: I’ve always had pets in my life, from dogs to cats, and they mean the world to me. With two pups of my own, I know how important it is to provide love, patience, and attentive care. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day to give pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll be there to keep them happy and cared for while you’re away.” When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them just as I would my own. I make sure to follow all routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I also give plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I keep the home environment tidy, respect the client’s space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure both the pets and their owners feel confident and cared for throughout the entire experience.

“Sammy took good care of my 2 dogs for 3 days and did a great job with drop in visits. She came on time, fed my dogs, gave my one dog her meds, let them outside to do their business, and stayed a little longer for some one-on-one play time. She kept me updated on my pups and sent me pictures. She also took my mail in for me. I highly recommend Sammy.”

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!

“Lorrie was great. I had an unexpected funeral out West and Lorrie was able to step in and make sure my fur babies were loved. Lorrie was super flexible which is always a plus when you're planning on the fly...”
