“I am BEYOND. Impressed with Paige. My nerves were a little shot having a new sitter for my dog (I’ve always had family dog sit) but she blew my expectations out of the water. She even took photos of my dog like I do. I also forgot to tell her that my dog likes to look out the window on my stairs (I told her she likes the upstairs window mainly) then low and behold, one of the photos she took to upload on her visit card, was a photo of my dog looking out the window over the stairs 🥹 You can tell she is very intuitive with animals. I loved the text updates. It calmed my nerves so much while I was at my conference. I just wanted someone to love on my baby like I do while I was out and that’s what I got and more! I cannot thank her enough and will absolutely be using her again!!”


“Natalee is such a sweet and caring person who genuinely loves the animals in her care. She took the time to come meet us and our cat before the visits started which made us so comfortable. We were gone for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We greatly appreciated all of the photos, updates, notes, time, care, attention and love she gave our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again in the future.”

“Joa is awesome! He did such an incredible job taking care of Barky and making sure he got all of the details down. Barky’s (and our) comfort were Joa’s top priority. We greatly appreciate all he did and trust him to watch Barky again!”

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! ❤️
About: Hello! I’ve spent my entire life around dogs of all kinds. I am happy to provide any service to fit your needs. I’m happy to host your dogs or just take them for walks. Feel free to contact me! I have a full time job, but my schedule is flexible. I will provide your pet care as needed around the clock and I’m happy to help! I live in a three bedroom apartment with lots of windows. There is a dog park on the property, so I will be able to bring your pup outside to play as much as needed! There are also plenty of walking trails to get some energy out.

About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. I’m currently free 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and I’ll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.
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.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and know how to love and care for each of your pets while you are away. While I do not have any professional dog experience, I’ve had dog in my family since the day I was born and had owned my own dog for about 10 years until she recently passed away. Dogs my family has had were a mutt, three Labradors, Golden Retriever, and a Belgian Malinois. The pet I recently had was a mix of a Labrador and German Short-haired Pointer. I had been to training classes recently for about 3 years as well. I have pet sit cats and lived with cats in the past so I would know how to care for a feline. I will make sure to be very professional, care, and love your pet as if they were my own. Looking for services inside or outside of my home. I currently work full time in Carmel Monday-Friday 8am to 4:30pm and typically have nights and weekends free. I am looking to become more active (I had a senior dog with no ability to walk) so physical activity is welcomed! I have a fenced in yard and walking trails throughout my community. No additional pets. I can easily crate your pet with a collapsible travel crate.
“Maria is a 5 star sitter who considers and applies all of the details when caring for our sweet and senior Maltipoo fur baby. My mind is at ease when I’m at work knowing that all of her needs are being taken care of. Maria is simply fabulous!”

“Alexis is amazing!!! She was wonderful with my 3 small dogs. I had originally had someone scheduled to stay with my dogs but that sitter canceled on me 2 days prior to my trip. Alexis agreed to drop in visits for us. With my little pups I needed someone every 3-4 hours and she was willing which is a big ask, that is a lot of time out of her day and family time especially around the Holidays. I am so grateful to have found her. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be scheduling with Alexis again.”

About: Growing up with a veterinary technician mother, I have seen how crucial animal care is up close. I have also spent years working in animal foster care and of course, caring for my own babies. I grew up with multiple friends and family who had everything from dogs and cats, to lizards, to horses and am well prepped to take care of your furry friend too! I only work part-time several days a month as my job is currently moving into off-season. My schedule is therefore quite open right now until the season shifts but I will communicate and update as things change. I would love to fill my time with both pet care and the exercise of dog walking! When possible, I visit clients homes prior to their departure so we have a mutual understanding. This helps me see the owner and pet interactions in person, understand the home, and ask any upfront questions as well as answer any that may immediately come up. It is easy for me to find a relaxed activity to do that can keep me with the pets and at their attention at all times.
“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: Hello, my name is Hailey! I currently work full-time through the week (Sun-Thurs 10-6) and am looking to make extra cash doing what I love - spending time with dogs! I previously have worked at a dog boarding center in Whitestown, Indiana, making me suitable to take care of your pet, whether it be feeding, exercising, or even medicating them for you while you’re away at work, traveling, whatever the case may be! While I have experience with all kinds of animals, currently I have two large breed dogs, an Australian Shepherd mix who is 6 years old and an Alaskan Malamute who is 7 years old! Both are dog and people friendly, so your dog can have a playmate, or we can arrange your pet to have space to him/herself if necessary! As I have worked for a business that is used to various pets having various needs, I will do my best to accommodate you in any way necessary! I also am used to working with cats (as the dog boarding also has a cat portion as well) so I am more than happy to help your feline friends, too! Hope to see you soon! I have open availability outside of Sun-Thurs 10-6. I work hard to make sure that I am transparent about the time I have to spend with your pets! I have a lot of experience watching other people’s pets, as well as being a lifelong owner of dogs. I love all breeds and ages!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hardscrabble is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 2,368 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hardscrabble. 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 Hardscrabble. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
