“Lauren did drop in visits every other day for my unruly cats. She did a great job cleaning up after them and visiting with them - when they came out of hiding. She also tried to help prevent further damage when they were scratching the carpet.”
“Katie gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation out of the country. She took great care of our kitties and had wonderful communication with daily updates and progress check ins. We will definitely be using her again for all our pet setting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. We always have had 4 dogs in our house so I would walk them, bathe them, and feed them consistently. I have experience with small, medium, & big dogs. I, myself, have 4 dogs in my house. One Dachshund, one miniature Australian Shepard, one Pitbull, & one German Shepard Mix. I have dogs of my own so I am very flexible with incorporating dog care in my schedule. Give me an idea, and I can work off that. I have a fenced front and backyard. We have a doggy door as well. All my pups do as they please in our backyard, especially playing.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always the one bringing home strays, and apparently, I never outgrew that animal-loving gene! My daughter and I used to enjoy caring for pets through Rover together when she was younger. Now that she’s off to college, I suddenly have a much quieter house and a lot more free time than I’m used to. I thought returning to Rover would be the perfect way to fill some of that empty-nest space with something I truly love: spending time with animals and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring looking after your pet while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated with the same love and attention I would want for my own. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to spend with your pet. Whether they enjoy long walks, playing, relaxing together, or curling up for some extra snuggles, I'm happy to give them the companionship they need. I love taking long walks, have plenty of patience, and, most importantly, I have lots of love and snuggles to go around! ❤️🐶🐱 I would love the opportunity to become one of your pet's favorite people while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work from home and now have an empty nest, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, snuggles, and personalized attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection.

I’m comfortable caring for dogs from puppies to seniors and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every dog I work with! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have always had animals and currently care for multiple pets, so I’m very comfortable building feeding, cleaning, exercise, playtime, and attention into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and plenty of love every day. I’m also happy to dedicate additional time to pet sitting, dog walking, and daycare depending on my schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m respectful of their home and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without proper care. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their age, personality, energy level, and individual needs.

“I just had Will stay with my dog for the first time and he did great! Mabel is pretty high energy and she was very happy and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely use Will again :)”
“OMG Meaghan is amazing!!! I hate being apart from my fur baby, but had to return home to Tennessee for a family emergency. Jordi’s original sitter was unable to drop in, so I searched through the Rover. First time using the app and I love it. I was able to find and meet Meaghan in a super short timeframe. She was so extremely accommodating and kind. She would send pics of Jordi with funny little quips of all the things he did during her visits. It really warmed my heart and helped me get through this trying week. Definitely going to book with Meaghan again!!! Thanks so much for caring for my fur baby!!!❤️❤️❤️”
About: I started to house/pet sit in 2012 and have been doing it 2-3 times a year ever since. I mostly have taken care of dogs, but have taken care of a couple of cats. I have a full time job on the south side of Indy. I work Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:00. I’m able to feed and take outside before heading to work (if staying at a client’s house) and after work, can take out, feed, and hang out with the pet(s). At a client’s home, I make sure dogs go out and potty and run around if they want to. I always check to see if the pets have plenty of water and give treats, per client’s directions. If a pet has an accident in the house, I will clean it up.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hortonville
Great Rover choice . I have large rambunctious dogs who can also be a bit male selective and they immediately welcomed Evan into the home and accepted him without any hesitation . Will definitely be using this sitter for future bookings . Top choice and one of best Rover experiences we have had .
Katarina was a great sitter! She had the dubious task of checking in on my fuzzies over the dreaded 4th of July holiday with all the fireworks. I have an old cat that needs medication and some extra cleanup care, a nervous young dog that needed a gentler approach to settle in and she did great with both. No one escaped the yard or the house and everyone was alive and happy when I got back. I got multiple photos while I was away (which my kiddo loved) along with a message about how they were doing. Katarina even brought in the packages that got dropped off in my absence! I love that my pets loved her so much and as quickly as they took a liking to her tells me she’s great at her job! I would 100% book her again if needed!
Chris was great with our dogs. We had an all day event and didn’t want the dogs to be alone the whole time so she stopped in several times, walked them, fed them, and made sure they had interaction throughout the day while we were gone. We are so appreciative and will definitely book with her again!
Madelyn was great with my animals! I booked last minute, right before Christmas. She was quick to reply and was able to do a meet-and-greet with my pets within 24 hours. She was timely and sent pictures of all of the animals. I will definitely be booking with Madelyn again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
