“Christine has been wonderful dropping in on my girls during the day! She is communicative, reliable, and takes great care of our pups. She is even able to handle our high energy girl! I highly recommend her.”

About: Hey there! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with 5+ years of professional experience offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and loving pets usually warm up to me right away! I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always follow instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and happy. I have a 17 year old cat of my own named Merv that I absolutely love. He’s a sweetheart and gets along well with others. I’ve had many dogs like 2 English bulldog’s, and a Black Lab. They all lived a happy life and passed of old age. I’m hoping to welcome another cat or dog soon. I take pride in providing compassionate, high quality care every visit. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾💛 I do pet care full time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the week, with boarding available most days as well. I only accept one pet family at a time for boarding, so your pet will always have my full attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. It’s just me, my boyfriend, and my cat Merv at home, and I create a calm, loving environment. I’ve had two English Bulldogs and a Black Lab who lived long, happy lives, so I understand different needs and temperaments. I do not overbook and only care for one pet family at a time, ensuring a safe, low stress, and personalized experience. 🐾💛
“We are so thankful that Kelsee stopped by even when our plans changed! She was fantastic in meeting our pup for the first time, and we really appreciated the great communication she had with us leading up to the appointment.”


“Maddie accepted our booking last minute after all of our sitter plans fell through right before we headed out of town. We had never used Rover before so we were slightly apprehensive. She came over right away to meet him and was sure to send us pictures and updates for every visit. Our baby began to love her as the interaction progressed. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

“Emily was great! Responsive for a last second booking, very attentive and kind - which is perfect for my cat who can be wary of strangers. She provided detailed updates that let me feel confident my cat was being cared for while I was away :) Would book again and recommend to anyone needing a sitter! Thanks again, Emily!”

“Annie went above & beyond for our cats! We all adore her, she was so thoughtful and respectful of our home during her visits and took perfect care of our cats including their medicine. Book her now before I fill up her schedule!”

“Stacey is my go to. She is reliable, kind, and most importantly, my kitty Lucy loves her. Has helped me on the whim when I’ve needed someone to drop on when something unexpected came up. Will always check with her first for any pet sitting needs.”


About: Hi!! my name is Brynn and I am a junior at IU Indianapolis, currently studying event management. I’m a student athlete who has time off in the summer and will be living with my boyfriend for part of the summer in Charleston. I grew up a big animal lover, surrounded by many animals myself. I have had multiple dogs and cats throughout my childhood and currently have three cats in my own. In my free time I also like to volunteer at the Humane Society so I have a bunch of experience with the dogs there. I have most of my free time Friday through Sundays, but during the week I can schedule around my class time. Tuesdays and Thursdays are when I have my most time during the week. I love going on long walks if your pet is active, or I love to just sit and cuddle or play if that is more of your pet style.
“This was our second time using Lydia to check on our cat, Luna. She is trustworthy, dependable and caring! Very much appreciate her making the longer trip up from school to care for our kitty.”

About: I had many pets growing up and fell in love with animals at a young age! Along with running my own pet care business in high school, I worked at a doggy day care facility and have volunteered at 4 different veterinary clinics throughout college. I am extremely experienced in dog and cat care, including for young and old pets. I am starting veterinary school in the fall and have experience with emergency and primary care medicine. During this summer, I have extensive availability. During the school year, I will be able to visit for dog walks in the morning, at lunch time, and in the evening. I believe that pets deserve as much love, attention, and exercise as possible! As a house sitter or dog walker, I give each animal my undivided attention and lots of pets! I will tailor their exercise to their age and breed, making sure they get appropriate exercise and outdoor time. I love playing with pets and will find your dog or cat's favorite toy to entertain them. I can also promise lots of baby talk for your fur babies!
“Sebastian arrived early to get all of Bailey’s backstory and lore. He was super engaged and friendly and that it made it super easy to trust my best friend with him. highly recommend.”

“Jena took great care of our cat! She kept us updated at every visit with tons of pictures. She was also super respectful of our home and went out of her way to prevent salt from outside from getting all over! Highly recommend 🖤”

“This was my first experience with Rover, and Latrice surpassed any and all expectations, and quelled any concerns I had going into it. She sent me lots of updates and took the best care of my cats! I don’t even feel guilty for leaving them for the weekend because they were definitely in great hands! Thank you SO much Latrice!”

About: I have worked in pet resorts and boarding facilities, and whether a pet needs extra playtime or snuggles, medicines (including insulin), a special comfort item, or needs to be separated from housemates during meal time, no request is too far-fetched when it comes to taking care of your beloved pets! My experience in pet resorts allows me to offer enriching playtime and exercise, and to notice any irregularities in mood or eating habits, and to efficiently relay that information to pet parents. When it comes to walks, I have a defensive handling certification from The Dog Gurus, and am always aware of the risks that leaving the home entails. In addition, I have completed their Knowing Dogs 101 and 201 courses, which provides me with a solid knowledge base when it comes to dog behaviors and body language. I also am comfortable caring for bunnies, as I have a senior rabbit myself, and am familiar with the closest neighborhood vet that will treat our long-eared friends! Rover is my current focus, so I have a flexible schedule to offer passionate pet care to your dogs and cats! Whether it's walks or a visit, I can get it on the books! Currently not offering boarding in my home, but when it comes to a client's home, I'm able to follow any routines or schedules the pets may have!
Indianapolis dog parents share their Rover experiences
Zach was amazing with Ms. Bella while I was away. This was the first time I had left her for an extended period since she became blind, so I was naturally very nervous, but Zach made me feel completely at ease. He kept me updated daily, sent plenty of pictures, and gave her so much love and attention. It was clear Ms. Bella really enjoyed her time with him, and I'm grateful for the care he provided.

Ellen did a wonderful job with Murphy. We asked to add on an extra day for 2 drop in visits last minute because my mom is very unwell out of state and Ellen immediately said yes. Murphy and Ellen have bonded beautifully. She’s amazing. I trust her fully with my dog.❤️

Shiloh was absolutely amazing. I wasn’t nervous about her but more so leaving my doggo and she was everything I needed to feel better about the situation. She was communicative and took great care of Kobe. She sent good pictures and I felt like she loved spending time with him! 10/10 would recommend!
