“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 was great & helped me out with a last minute booking for a work trip. My rottie who is apprehensive with strangers did great with him and I came home to two very happy dogs. Ethan was respectful of my home and responded quickly any time I reached out. Would book again, thank you Ethan!!”
“Last minute love savior right here! My partner was suppose to be back home by 1 and was running 3 hours behind to take care of the dogs. Mary was super sweet and helpful and willing to help last minute. Will rebook again!”
“Khalil was very communicative and took great care of my cats! My instructions were followed exactly and my apartment was in great shape when I came home. Extra points for so many photos of the cats and clear care taken with them.”
“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!”
“Gigi was wonderful with our cat Kali! She made time to meet Kali before we left for our trip. She sent pictures and a nice summary after each visit. She was timely and responsive and we were very grateful! We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Benjamin accommodated us last minute when our original pet sitter had to cancel. He was very detailed in his responses and I could tell that he cared about my pets wellbeing. He is a wonderful sitter.”

“Leah has been absolutely amazing to work with. She is extremely responsive and also takes the best care of your pets. Our dog is always ecstatic when she comes to care for him when we are out of town. Can’t recommend Leah enough!”
“Maja is a great rover who leaves detailed notes and pictures. She always makes sure my kitties have the best care and that their area is clean. She reaches out with questions and strives to give the best care. I highly recommend that you use Maja for cat sitting.”
“I HIGHLY recommend hiring Emily! She was so great with our cat Moz, they were fast friends. Emily took amazing care of Moz and sent us plenty of pictures and updates! We will definitely book with her in the future.”
“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.”

Ty was wonderful and very thoughtful. He spent a good amount of time with our cat and was always punctual. Momo, who is quite shy, actually played with him and was able to build trust with him. When we got back, the house was exactly how we had left it. He was prompt with communication and sent us pictures of our pet during each visit. We would definitely hire Ty again for future needs.
Maja helps take care of Coal during my summer vacation, she did a great job and Coal loves her very much. Every time during Maja's visit, she would take tons of pictures for Coal and write a detailed diary of what happened during the visit. She's very caring and knows how to deal with a shy cat like Coal. Coal had a great time playing with her during the visits. I would definitely recommend her for baby sitting pet babies.
Bekah watched our 16 year old cat while we were on vacation, as she has for several years now. She visited him every day and refreshed his water and food, and cleaned his box, sending me pics of him to let me know he was doing fine. I truly thinks she loves our big buddy and takes very good care of him.
Emily was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cat and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated all the beautiful photos she sent—they made me feel so much better while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my kitty and spent quality time with him. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Five stars! Ellen took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town. Handling a diabetic dog requires extra attention, but she was consistently prompt, thorough, and professional. Our pups absolutely adore her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Nouha came and checked on my pups for me while I was out of town. She did such a wonderful job, my dogs seemed to love her and she was very confident and willing to care for my sometimes finicky dogs. She was extremely communicative which I appreciate, was on time and followed the requests I had for the check ins. I really appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a great sitter! Thank you Nouha 🙂
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Indianapolis on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,716 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Indianapolis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Indianapolis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indianapolis. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
