“Cindy was an excellent sitter staying in our home. She took care of our two dogs like they were her own. She was very helpful in bringing our packages in and more importantly our two girls got lots of love and attention. We will definitely use her to stay with our dogs again! Highly recommend!”

“My kitties and doggos loved Jennica!! She came for an overnight sit and took such good care of them. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and was very independent. I had no worries leaving them in her care, and I know they were sad that I came back and Jennica left 😄 The house was spotless too! I’ll be having her back for sure!”

About: Myself and my wife have enjoyed our lives basically surrounded by dogs. When we were young and first married, we bought a house in the woods with two acres to build into a dog sanctuary. We breed and raised dobermans and danes. We built kennels and fenced in park for our kids (dogs). Our house was a paradise for dogs with a walk in basement and garage, heated and air conditioned complete with sofas, dog beds, carpeting and TV. We lived in Indy at that time. All our dogs were kept inside while we worked and always kept in ac and heat depending on season. The outdoor kennels has a large roof overhead and a deck off the back which lead to our wooded fenced in back yard(1 acre). We constructed a 200 foot walkway throughout the woods with well first class lighting. The property was on o hill and at the back a 20x 20 deck was at the end of the walk way. Our pool was a large 40x20 foot pool. All dogs trained on where steps were (pool school) and the dogs compound was separated by 5 foot chain link fence. All dogs were taken to obedience training by myself and my wife. We had one litter of 8 Doberman puppies and kept three puppies with their mother. When the mother passed we adopted a black Great Dane, she was 7 months old and spent half her nights downstairs in the kennels and lounge area with Jaba our largest pup to be his best friend. We always had two dogs in our bedroom, alternating both couples from downstairs to upstairs. People would say “ when I die I want to come back as one of Dan and Terry’s dogs”. We were fortunate to have the facility, which we designed and built, to make everything work so well. After our litter of dobermans aged and expired, we needed a friend for our Dane ( Molly Dane). We went to a no kill humane society event with our Dane and found a perfect Lab mix who just adored her. The name they had given him was Chauncey. We brought him home and showed him all his new home. He loved the woods, the pool, the kennels and the freedom of the back woods. He, however, was escape artist. The woods was all fenced with 5 foot brown chain link fence, but he kept getting out. We would search the neighborhood till we found him. We determined he could not jump the fence but rather he would climb it to escape. Given time, he would also dig under. We then added an invisible fence to the top of our fence only on the outer perimeter ( over a mile of wire). We trained him if he got within 3 feet of the fence, he was warned with an audible tone from his collar. However, if he got close enough he would receive a shock. This system worked great. Later, however, he had no desire to even leave his house and he loved his Dane. We, shortly later, rescued a Jack Russell from an apartment life which lacked human companions due to long work schedules. We kept him for a month and found a great home for him with another Jack Russell and a fenced back yard. We later rescued a wiener dog,who had nipped a kid, and was destined to be put down. He became a member of the family because my wife feel in love with him as he looked like a Doberman puppy. We sold our home in Indy, and moved to our second home in Florida with the Dane, the Lab and the wiener. I am currently sitting in my recliner writing this with the only survivor from those years in my lap, the wiener. We now have him, 14 years old, and his little friend, Joey (a rescue wiener 10 pound chestnut colored cutie). That’s our story. We do like to travel and we definitely hate to leave our dogs. We always have friends come to the house while we vacation and won’t go if all was not perfect for their care. Rudy, the old wiener, is now 14. He is blind now and Joey is a baby lap dog. We still walk Rudy in a baby carriage. He still is enjoying the elder years as much as we can provide. We have always loved our dogs. We love all DOGS! We are retired and live in a four bedroom ranch near the ocean. I work a day or two at a country club and my wife enjoys free golf and tennis with me. We never leave our dogs more than 4 hours. We are home or nearby most of the time. See pictures. Our back yard in perfect for dogs ( fenced,safe,etc). And our house is safe and comfortable . We have turasso floors, no carpet, and an open floor plan. We walk our dogs in a great neighborhood with sidewalks and speed bumps.
“Rita did an excellent job taking care of our loved one. Always in constant contact when massaged and was able to take care of our pup's needs with the instructions we left for her. Highly recommended and looking forward to the next time.”

“We were very pleased with Susie, the boys responded very well to her friendly demeanor. She was punctual, professional, and left the house in good condition! This was our first time leaving our babies behind and we were nervous but with all the pictures and communication we felt at ease. We would definitely request Susie again in the future.”

From puppies and potty training to senior pets and medications, we’re comfortable supporting a wide range of needs.

This allows for a safe, low-stress experience with plenty of individual attention. Oz n’ Stew Concierge Pet Care is named in memory of our two beloved dogs, Ozzy and Stewie. The care we provide reflects the same patience and consistency we gave them every day.

Darren works from home with a flexible schedule, and Pam manages bookings and communication, so everything stays organized and on track. This allows us to provide consistent care, reliable timing, and plenty of attention throughout the day. For boarding and day care, pets are rarely left alone and are part of a calm, supervised home environment. We offer morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits and do our best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. Because we care for only one family’s pet(s) at a time in our home, availability is limited to ensure each pet receives our full attention. When caring for pets, we focus on keeping things calm, predictable, and as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible—whether in your home or ours. We follow your written instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, litter or yard clean-up, playtime, and quiet companionship. We enter calmly, secure doors and gates, and follow leash or harness routines exactly as you prefer. For shy or cautious pets, we move slowly, give them space, and allow trust to build at their own pace. We send updates with photos during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If we notice anything out of the ordinary—changes in appetite, behavior, or bathroom habits—we communicate right away and follow your preferred plan for care. We also treat your home with the same respect we give your pets, leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as we found it. For doggy day care in our home, we provide a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. We care for only one client’s pet(s) at a time, allowing for personalized attention and a relaxed setting. Our home features an open floor plan, easy-to-clean tile flooring, and a fully fenced 6-foot vinyl backyard for secure outdoor time. Pets are never introduced to unfamiliar animals during their stay, and all outdoor time is supervised to ensure safety at all times. Our home is a quiet, controlled environment with no resident pets or children, allowing us to focus fully on your pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. Safety is always our priority. Both of us are certified in Pet CPR and First Aid, and we stay attentive to each pet’s comfort, behavior, and well-being at all times.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and attention as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Minda was so wonderful with our pup Jasper. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind that their furry family member is well taken care of. Thanks so much!!”


About: I stand out because I treat every dog like my own. I learn their quirks, stick to their exact routine, and keep you updated with photos so you’re never left wondering. With reliable communication and genuine love for animals, you come home to a calm, happy pup who had a great day. As a cat owner, I fit care into my day in small, easy chunks. My mornings are 10-15 minutes to feed, refresh water, and scoop the litter while my coffee brews. Evenings take about 15-20 minutes for dinner, a second scoop, and playtime — my cat is most active at dusk, so a quick wand-toy session helps her settle for the night. Weekly tasks like deep-cleaning the box or brushing take me 30 minutes total. Once I tied it to habits I already had, it became routine and keeps my cat calm and happy. I care for my pets by keeping their routine simple and consistent. Mornings are food, fresh water, and quick clean-up. Evenings are dinner, play or walks, and checking that everyone’s settled. I stick to their schedules, handle meds when needed, and stay on top of vet care so they stay healthy and happy.
“Jamie did an amazing job watching our pets and home for the weekend. Our usually shy dog loved her and our house was left spotless. I’ll definitely call her again and highly recommend her. Thank you!”

“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

About: I’ve taken care of almost all breeds of dogs for more then 20 years. I provide a safe, loving, caring and playful environment for your pup. Always fresh water, playtime, and food as needed. Also comfy beds for nap time. During this period that I'm taking this job, my routine is just taking care of the dogs. I take them to the park twice a day and walk them! The rest of the time I'm always near them at home! So, they certainly don't lack attention here! My dogs are sociable and friendly; I have a 2-year-old and an 8-month-old poodle who play well around the house! The routine would be the same, and I would provide the necessary care that the owner needs! Treating them with the same love I treat my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Indian Shores
Teagan was fantastic caring for our dog and cat. She maintained great communication prior to and throughout the duration of the care. When we ran into unforeseen issues with our travel, requiring an extension to our trip, she was incredibly flexible and considerate with assisting us to ensure the pets were cared for. We highly recommend Teagan and will use her service again!

We loved having Cindy here! She took such great care of Cleo and our house looked exactly how we left it! She was also happy to help with a few things around the house while we were gone. Cindy is very easy going but so on the ball, we felt completely comfortable while we were away!

Tina took excellent care of our babies while we went away on a family trip. She had a full house on her hands and made sure they had lots of attention and cuddles. Her daughter came over too to help with their care and playtime, and she communicated very well with us every day with photos and updates on how they were doing. We recommend her and would definitely book with Tina again in the future :)

Rita is always willing to work with our scheduling requests and always communicates with us for everything. The cute pictures of our pup that are sent when Rita is here, shows her care and compassion to keep us informed and confident that our loved is in good hands. Thank you Rita.

I truly cannot recommend Walter enough, we had a sitter abandon our pets mid-stay while we were traveling abroad and Walter was able to step in and not only ensure our pets were cared for but truly loved! He took them on walks, played and hung out outside with them, and let the pets sleep in the bed with him. On top of all of that, he even cleaned all of the sheets and comfortable prior to my arrival back home. We will be using Walter again for our future travels.

Astra was the perfect fit to watch our dog for our overnight get away. She kept us well informed with updates and photos. Pazzo took to her immediately, which was easily seen in the photos. We didn't appear missed one second. The true sign of the right sitter. We look forward to using Astra again.
Sam was amazing! I definitely recommend her. She house sat for me last minute. Will definitely be booking again. My dogs and my cat can be very shy with new people, but they all warmed up to her really well right away. She gave them lots of attention and she sent me lots of photos. Sam left my house cleaner than I left it and her communication was great. Thanks Sam!

I could not be more pleased with the impeccable care Melanie provided for my pup! She was so kind, caring, communicative, and accommodating! She pet sit in my home for 5 days and not only took care of my dog but also my home. She was absolutely outstanding! I highly recommend her and will be using her services again! Thank you so much Melanie!

FAQs for House Sitting - Indian Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Indian Shores on Rover is $38.13 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 3,542 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Indian Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Indian Shores walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Indian Shores maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Indian Shores choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indian Shores. On Rover:

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.
