“She did an amazing job with my two cats. Made sure all of their stuff was clean and even vacuumed, and swept the floor as well as took out the trash. None of those things I asked for. By far the best pet sitter I’ve hired.”

“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”

“Our kitties loved her! They were worn out with catnip, and treats, and the laser pointer so much, they looked a little disappointed when we came home. We would definitely hire her again. Thanks so much Ellie!”


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. 🐾💛

“My dog rarely lets someone new pet him, but he let Ellen pet him, and I'm grateful for that. Her calm demeanor is what he needed. Ellen is responsive and reliable. She came through the snow storm to be with my dog.”

“Maja did amazing job watching my two kittens. They were very well taken care of and happy with her company. Maja sent really cute pictures and detailed notes about her drop ins. Will def connect with Maja in the future. Thanks so much Maja!!”

“Lauren is an amazing cat sitter! Super responsive, incredibly proactive, and genuinely caring. She noticed a scratch on my cat, kept an eye on it, and made sure it healed up. Plus, Leonard got tons of snuggles and playtime. She went way beyond what’s normal—truly exceptional care.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by pets, and my family still jokes that I made friends with every animal in the neighborhood. My grandmother used to come home and find me sharing my ice cream or snacks with whatever furry visitor had followed me inside. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, from energetic puppies to older, calmer pups who need a gentler touch. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love forming bonds with every pet I meet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with routines, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something that comes naturally and brings me a lot of joy. I work full‑time, but I’m very flexible with my schedule and love fitting in pet care whenever I can. On weekdays, I’m available after 4:30 PM for drop‑ins, walks, or evening visits. If you contact me ahead of time, I can often be available as early as 2:30 PM to help with your pet’s routine. On weekends, my schedule is completely open. I’m available all day for drop‑ins, longer visits, or extra attention for your pets. I’m always happy to work with your needs and find times that fit your pet’s usual routine. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a spacious loft with plenty of room for pets to relax, explore, and feel at home. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is handled safely through leashed walks and controlled outings. I’m very mindful of my surroundings and make sure every walk is calm, secure, and enjoyable. Inside my home, I have a dedicated room reserved specifically for pets, giving them a cozy and quiet space if they need downtime or a familiar area to settle into. I can easily and comfortably crate pets when needed, making sure they never feel lonely or stressed. I aim to create an environment where every pet feels safe, loved, and looked after just like they would at home
“Ryan was great! Super communicative, followed the dog specific instructions for both pups and gave info on how they both were and what they did! I picked him last minute for 2 days of drop ins and would use him again without question!”

“Maya was wonderful with my high maintenance cat! She sent me lots of pictures and updates, so I could tell how happy Pippin was with her. She was super responsive and detail-oriented. I highly recommend Maya for pet sitting!”

“We're so glad we found Sarah to care for our sweet Athena! Sarah is exceedingly responsible and organized. She kept us updated about Athena throughout our vacation with wonderful stories of her antics and sweet photos and videos. We'll definitely be using Sarah for a long time to come! Drew & Reed”

“Gigi was amazing! She took such great care of Carrot Cake. I never worried while I was away, and I would recommend her to anyone. I also LOVED getting pictures of my baby from her visits.”

Indianapolis pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie was fantastic. We were gone for a longer trip than usual and did not want to ask our friends to come like we usually do. She was very communicative before and during the booking. We had a meet and greet before to check that our cat will be ok with her and he asked for petting from Natalie in the first 5 minutes. During our absences she diligently did all we asked, she sent pictures and reports on the tasks done and the cat’s mood. He was clearly very happy to see her each time. In the last 2 days, he had a little weird poop and she informed us right away and kept an eye on it (it was nothing). We felt we could trust her and more importantly our cat trusted her. We will book her again when we have any need. So glad we found such a gem to take care of our fur baby when we are gone. Highly recommended.

Lauren is an amazing cat sitter! Super responsive, incredibly proactive, and genuinely caring. She noticed a scratch on my cat, kept an eye on it, and made sure it healed up. Plus, Leonard got tons of snuggles and playtime. She went way beyond what’s normal—truly exceptional care.

Paola was great with our cats. They have to be fed separately and with care and she was more than able to accomplish that. She was able to routinely locate our cat that likes to hide. Our skittish cat even got some pets from her! Paola always made sure to send us pictures and updates and really kept us in the loop and helped ease our minds. We knew our pets were in good hands.

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.
