“Tracy was a great sitter for our dog, Max. He spent a lot of time each visit and provided thorough updates. Tracy is highly recommended and we will definitely reach out to him in the future when we travel out of town. Thanks again!”


“Wes is fantastic. My dog Sam really enjoys his visits and spending time with the other dogs Wes cares for. It's been a really good experience with Wes! Thank you.”

“Edmy was fantastic! My two kitties were cared for so well! Their bowls and litter were cleaned with each visit. Edmy found some ants around the food bowls and was kind enough to move the food. I cannot say enough nice things about them and can’t wait to have them back. I highly recommend them! I got lots of pictures and felt confident in being away.”


“I’ve booked Karisa several times to watch my cat and have always been super happy with her visits! I get the best pictures and I know my cat is less lonely when I get home!”



“I had Linda as a regular checking in on mila (my dog). She was always so gentle with her and promptly updated river card with details. She communicates really well and I always felt safe having Linda drop in to take Mila out. I highly recommend her to anyone”


“Brooklyn is awesome. Takes great care of the house and me importantly Edmund, my dog. He now like for her in the guest room! Hahaha. I'd say he's happy with her service as well.”


“Angie has a very kind and gentle way with our dog. She did a great job of looking in on him while we were away. We will certainly use her again.”

“Natalie did a wonderful job caring for my animals while at work. She was great at sending photos and communication. I knew my pets were in good hands!”


“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”


“Amelia was prompt to respond and help with a last minute dog sitting. She was professional, kind, and detail oriented. Our dogs loved her and warmed up immediately, even sitting on her lap for cuddles. Highly recommend!”


“I am so grateful for Brandi & Luis! I got updates about my cat while I was away. They went above and beyond with him. My cat doesn’t usually come out for guest, but he loved them!”


“Jada is amazing, very understanding and thorough! I will definitely be contacting her for any future help I may need!!”


About: I’ve spent my life around dogs and had the privilege of raising my own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. I tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime. My husband and I work full-time, and our schedules allow us to care for dogs during early afternoons through the evenings on weekdays, as well as full days on weekends. We team up to provide consistent, loving attention for your dog. Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.

“Bree went above and beyond when we had an emergency on our vacation far from home. Recommend her heartily (make sure to leave a nice tip if she has to climb through your window).”


About: Our three beloved dogs of 15 years are now gone. We are eager to help care for your fur babies when you need someone to do so. We are care and comfort providers! Through Rover we have had over 40 four legged friends come to stay! I work out of the house 20 hours a week. I am able to be home and around for all potty breaks, play time, and walks! My husband is home in the evenings for snuggle time! I have a fenced in yard, three cats, and one rabbit. They are all current on their flea meds and shots. I live in a great walk friendly neighborhood as well.

About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.

About: My own pet has an issue with seizures, so I am very used to accommodating for their needs, providing them medicine when needed and emotional and physical support. I am currently not employed, so I will have plenty of time to take care of any pets needed so long as given the proper notice! My eyes will never be taken off of your pet! Providing a leash will be more helpful for maintaining a pet’s attention. I can and will provide food and water for pets in proper proportions, disperse medicine as needed, and provide treats for good behavior!

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was little! I’ve been dog sitting for a few families for a couple years now and I have walked so many dogs in my neighborhood. I absolutely love getting to meet new furry friends! My own dog is my best friend. I love giving him attention and love no matter how tired I may be. We go on walks together, sit and watch birds together, and he will even sleep with me sometimes. Taking care of him is a true joy. Very carefully, yet playfully. No dog wants to have a sitter that doesn’t play with them or at least give them attention. Following the rules, but also having fun is something I’m very good at :)

I ended up needing someone to watch my German Shepherd puppy for 3 weeks while I made an emergency trip to Indy to help care for my sick mother. I was very worried leaving my new puppy with a stranger but she was highly recommended by a friend. Emily was great on taking care of Bear like he was apart of her family. He was also only 9 weeks old and not potty trained at the time I dropped him off with her but she managed to have him trained within two weeks to ring a bell and let us know when he needed to go out!! I was very impressed, I also loved the daily updates of pictures and even allowing me to video chat with Bear. I felt very happy with my decision to leave him in her care and could not thank her enough!”
