“Scottie had a great time and came home exhausted! We got daily photos and updates so we knew he was well taken care of. We will definitely use again in the future!”
“This was our very first time using Rover and we were more than pleased with the level of care, attention and affection Kristen and her family provided for our little Maya. It was clear that Maya enjoyed every day she spent there. We won’t hesitate to rebook with Kristen in the future!”
“Our first visit of what we hope will be many! Our dogs enjoyed their visit. We can tell when we get home how our dogs behave and they are very happy and their normal loving selves. We are very happy to have found Sheila. She keeps a warm loving home, very clean and fresh, even with several doggies. Sheila and her husband give the visiting doggies love and attention. Can’t say enough about this wonderful woman.”
“These guys were phenomenal! Great communication, loads of daily pics while we were gone for a week, and lots of updates. It was obvious the doggies got lots of attention and playtime while visiting, and were in great spirits when we picked them up too! Would definitely recommend these sitters, and will go with them again in the future!”
About: I grew up with pets, and love being around pups! I don’t have any of my own and for that reason, getting to take care of your pup is a true joy for me. I love hearing even the smallest details about your beloved pet so that I can give them as much care as you do! I’m a stay-at-home mom with daily availability to make house visits or go on walks. My teen sons also enjoy pet sitting/ dog walking and may accompany me at times. I strive to give them the same love and care you do! I am a detailed oriented person who you can be confident will attempt to hear and follow all of your instructions, making sure your pet is in good hands! Pet parents know all the individual qualities about their pet— what they like to do, what scares them, what will help them get in and out of the house, etc. Those are the things I appreciate knowing.
“Wonderful people, they loved being there and played tons. Took wonderful care of them, we loved the photos and the updates so much! Would 100% recommend boarding with them, we will definitely book again if we come back out that way.”
“Dita has an excellent setup with a large fenced back yard and often has multiple dogs which our cockapoo enjoys. She keeps us up to date, including photos. Would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, routines, medications, and lots of attention. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure you get plenty of updates while they’re with me. I work a hybrid schedule and am home Thursdays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime care, walks, and check-ins. I’m also available most evenings Monday through Wednesday and have greater flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. I have a friendly dog of my own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I keep a calm, clean home and make sure pets have plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and downtime. I’m careful with introductions and will follow your feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions closely. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Julie was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in after our sitter canceled the morning of. Beyond that, our dogs absolutely loved their stay. So much so they looked out the window until they couldn’t see her house anymore when we drove home. She communicated often so we never had to worry about our babies. They got so much play time and looked so happy in all of the pictures we received. She assured us that she would take the time to acclimate our dogs to the environment and it was very clear that she did. They had a great stay. We will 100% book again!”
“Tonya was amazing ! Very communicative the entire stay . I was a bit on edge bring a new puppy around the others , however they were well trained & treated her like apart of the pack . Will be back and highly recommend for socializing your fur baby!”
“I highly recommend Nicole for anyone looking for a sitter. She was absolutely wonderful seeing this was my first booking on rover she was very attentive to my dogs needs and even gave updates when available including pictures , treats your pet like there her own.”
“Jess did a great job! Her communication was excellent and she treated our Molly just like she was her own dog. Molly got along great with Jess, her husband, and their cute little dog. It was a great experience, and we hope to use her again soon.”

I love all animals honestly, and again always have but DOGS are just awesome literally are MAN'S BEST FRIEND.... ☺️💘 - Come on! 💖🙏 Right now I am completely open (available), and free as I am currently in search of a job/career or NEW LINE OF WORK in life atm so my schedule is completely open (available), and FREE. This is a safe environment here where I am staying in life currently atm right now as it is completely free of drug, alcohol and substance abuse, also a non-smoking environment and a Christian household and HOME at that (an environment of love and light) that is more-so than anything else. 💖🙏
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of our Irish-doodle, Fitz. She was great about communicating and sending pictures. Her home was very clean and they have a very large fenced in back yard. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
“Great sitter, Xena was in great shape and happy upon pickup. Communicated well without being overbearing. Respected my concerns and addressed them. Would recommend and use again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs on and off for a side job for 2 years. I’m very actice and love taking my own dogs on walks. I love dogs and cats, i’m very well organized and I will make sure your animal is loved, well taken care of and comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets! I’m happy to discuss scheduling, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. My goal is to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Since I have two dogs of my own who are not comfortable around other dogs, I provide pet-sitting services in your home rather than mine. This allows your pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and responsible care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring hands!
About: With 25 years of loving dog care and attention, I stand out by providing personalized and compassionate care. While I don't specialize in training, my extensive experience includes caring for both puppies and senior dogs, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and routine they need. My dedication to each pet's well-being and happiness sets me apart from other sitters. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I dedicate time each day to feeding, walking, and playing with my pets, ensuring they receive love and attention. On weekends, I spend extra time with them, taking them to parks or on longer walks, and occasionally to the beach for some fun by the sea. In my home, I ensure pets are well-fed, exercised, and loved. I provide daily walks, playtime, and regular grooming. For clients, I offer personalized care based on their pet’s needs, including feeding, walking, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners to maintain their routines and comfort.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Homer can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Homer home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Homer.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Homer. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Homer sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
