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.
“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!”
“Maddie is amazing! Loki always loves her walks. She always sends cute pictures and keeps me updated. It’s so great to have someone so dependable and who my dog loves to walk her on days I work.”
“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”
About: I officially started dog sitting four years ago, taking care of dogs that have personalities that range from requiring very active playtime to cuddle bugs that would rather lounge and receive attention. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can adapt my schedule to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs regular walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to check in on them throughout the day, I’m happy to work around their routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. At client’s homes, safety is a top priority, when first meeting I request any emergency information for both the pet and the home. The more prepared I am the more at ease the client can be.
“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!”

“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 was a humane society volunteer for three years and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! Looking forward to spending time with your furry friends! I am currently working remotely full-time, so most of my time is available on weekends or check-ins throughout the week! I am also a morning person! I have experience house-sitting, so taking care of your pets in your home should be nothing new for me! Will always give a few extra pets before I leave :)
“We had the great service of Gianna for the second time for dog walking services. She was comforting to us knowing that she would take care of our dog’s exercise needs while we were out of town again. She was always prompt and kept tabs on the weather. We hope to utilize Gianna’s services again in the future!”
“Due to a recent change in employment it meant our dog was going to be left alone a few days a week. He has some separation anxiety and we’ve only had him 5 months so we were delighted to have found Haley to come and walk Boscoe and spend some time with him. Haley came prepared with questions for our meet and greet and was accommodating to our request to start a week earlier than we had originally requested. If it’s raining and he’s not feeling a walk she does enrichment activities with him. I love the recaps of their time together and the pictures she sends. Haley is very quick to respond to requests. We have a ongoing booking with Haley for weekly walks!”
“Mary has been so helpful with my Aussie. I just started a new job and moved to the area and I don’t know what we would do without her help. She is communicative, reliable, flexible, friendly, and my dog loves her. Highly recommend.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾❤️
Our dog loves Alyssa! She is flexible with our schedule and is often available on short notice. Our dog gets excited to see her every day. She is a good communicator and easy to work with. We also love getting the updates and how detail oriented she is with our dog. She knows when he gets overheated or has a wound on his paw and lets us know so we can pay close attention. Would highly recommend!
Snow walking… ❄️🦮 🤗. My Chloe looks so happy!! I am very thankful that I found you. I have never had a dog walker be so respectful of my home and my furbaby!! I was able to view you from my camera and was so impressed that you were very respectful as you took off your shoes and wiped my baby’s feet off as well as dry her from the snow. Looking forward to work with you in the future! Have a blessed day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Indianapolis on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,473 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Indianapolis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Indianapolis.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indianapolis. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
