“Gigi was very communicative during the week she watched our pups. She took great care of our pups and was flexible when we had a medical emergency with our one dog. We truly appreciated her watching our babies while we were out of the country.”
About: i have taken care of both cats and dogs throughout the past few years, in and out of my own place. i am experienced in walking, feeding, and playing with them while their owners are away. my favorite part of making sure the owner feels secure and confident that their babies are in good hands is catering to specific needs. getting to know your animal is important to me! i work in an office mon-fri, but i am usually home in the evenings & all day on weekends. i’m also available for short or long-duration overnight stays. my partner, Daniel (a Rover sitter!), usually tags along in my sits as well. we live in an apartment, so for the comfort of your dog (or cat, if they’re a fan of the outdoors), i would be thrilled to make use of the environment that they are already familiar with. if you have a home with a yard, i’m sure getting some exercise in for the day would be no problem.
“Emily has walked my dog Reese 3 times now, and she has been great!! She communicates well, spend quality time with Reese and takes great photos, and I know Reese is in good hands with Emily. She has been available to walk Reese with minimal notice when I had a long day at work, and I really appreciated it!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including large dogs, cats with different personalities and needs, and even rabbits. This has helped me become adaptable, patient, and attentive to the unique care each animal requires. Whether it’s managing the energy of larger dogs, understanding the subtle behaviors of cats, or providing gentle care for smaller animals, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I believe every pet is an individual, and it’s important to take the time to observe and meet their specific needs. I approach all animals with the same level of care, attention, and respect that I give my own. I am currently taking a month off from work to allow myself some much needed self care time before I transition into pursing a Vet Tech degree. When I inevitably get back into a standard part time job, still allowing myself the time to focus on bettering myself- I will always ensure I have enough time to care and love for animals in my care as if they were my own. As of now, I will be available round the clock for care- as early as 6am and as late as 10pm. For all animals- I will ensure that I follow all instructions left- because we all care for our fur babies in our own ways. But what is non negotiable is ensuring they are safe and content at all times.
“I had my address wrong on my account and she went above and beyond to keep looking for my place to ensure my dog got walked. She has a real dedication towards animals.”
“Maddie has stepped up so many times when my other sitters fell through during my long shifts at the hospital. I always come home to a happy dog ❤️ I’m so thankful I found her!”
“Luke has been a very thoughtful, kind, and responsible walker. Top notch communication, takes the cutest pictures of the puppers, just handles the dogs really well. And I have two large and occasionally difficult to manage German shepherds... 10/10 would recommend!”
“It's been a few months of regular walks with Deontae now and I just have to leave another review to say, omg wow! I took my dog out by myself in public for the first time in awhile today (generally a no-no for me for health reasons) and he did absolutely amazing on his leash. I can't believe how much better behaved he was today compared to how he used to be. Thank you Deontae for helping Teddy learn and practice better leash manners!”
“Josephine was great!! Very communicative and CeCe loved having her come by to walk her throughout the week when I was traveling! I would definitely recommend her as a dog walker/sitter as she was very attentive to CeCe and what she needed!”
“Raven is very nice, quiet and unobtrusive. She has been flexible figuring where to walk my dogs with all the snow on the ground. I really look forward to the days she comes to walk the dogs!”

Lauren was the best dog walker I’ve had the pleasure of booking. She was extremely attentive to detail- she sent adorable pics of my dog while I was at work, made sure to update me on how he was doing and what all they did together, and was quick to respond to any messages I had. She gave him some medications (as he was unexpectedly sick for part of her time with him), and walked him based on his energy level and gauged his progress with recovery. She even gave a wonderful vet recommendation to me, which I ended up utiziling multiple times. Can’t rate her highly enough!
It's been a few months of regular walks with Deontae now and I just have to leave another review to say, omg wow! I took my dog out by myself in public for the first time in awhile today (generally a no-no for me for health reasons) and he did absolutely amazing on his leash. I can't believe how much better behaved he was today compared to how he used to be. Thank you Deontae for helping Teddy learn and practice better leash manners!
The reunion between Rue and Kelsee after two months was amazing! Rue recognized the sound of Kelsee’s car door closing (we live downtown so Rue hears car doors close all day long) and let out one happy bark and went flying to the door to greet Kelsee, smiling and wagging her tail in circles. Even Kelsee didn’t have a tail to wag, I think she was as happy to see Rue as Rue was to see her. So sweet!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CJ did an amazing job walking our dog! He even took the time out of his own schedule to come meet her beforehand, learn her personality and behavior, and make sure she was comfortable with him before the walk. That meant so much to us! CJ is professional, reliable, communicates quickly, and you can tell he genuinely knows and loves dogs. He has experience with all types of breeds, big or small, and made us feel completely comfortable trusting him with our fur baby. I highly recommend CJ to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable dog walker. We will definitely be using him again! 🐾❤️

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Indianapolis. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 walker.
