“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.”
“Gigi was an amazing sitter to my Turbo! Upon short notice, Gigi accepted my request happily and asked the right questions to make sure that she got all the details to take care of my husky. The photos that she sent me said it all, Turbo was having so much fun with Gigi and was being taken care of 🐾 🥰 I definitely felt relieved to have someone like Gigi taking care of him. She thoroughly followed my instructions and took the initiative. I came back home to a happy and healthy furry baby! She deserves all the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Will definitely request her service again!”
“Lindi arrived on time and let Ethel be Ethel as the dog got used to seeing her visitor. After things calmed down and Ethel approached and sat with Lindi, we took a short walk around the neighborhood. Lindi is so calm and she asks very good questions to get to know Ethel better.”
“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.”
“Sarah was fabulous, she kept us updated with photos and her report card daily. When we are out of town again, absolutely would hope we could get Sarah to look after our cat! Thanks Sarah!”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been actively involved in caring for them. I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and making sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, caring for my own dogs has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting, and I can work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I provide care in the client’s home rather than my own, as I have two cats of my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Natalie was amazing with my high-maintenance kitty! She gave him lots of attention and provided great updates with delightful pictures and notes. She followed all my instructions and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“Christy did an excellent job! She dropped in on my two cats while I was out of town and gave both of them their inhaler doses without issue. She spent a good amount of quality time with them and helped them feel relaxed while I was away!”
“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!!”
“Claire was absolutely wonderful! We needed Claire twice a day for an entire week. Our dog has been the only pet in our home for several years and she likes her alone time a lot so a Pet Hotel was not going to be a good fit for her. At the last minute I found Rover and decided to give it a try. It was super easy to look though our choices, contact which "petgivers" we liked, and then book the days and times we needed. Claire accepted our booking and even came over a couple hours later to meet Brownie, we were leaving the next day super early. Not only did Claire accept us with a last minute booking but she came to meet Brownie that night and she was super sweet and very professional. I can't say enough good things about her, so here are a few: - She was very prompt with the times we had scheduled. - She communicated with us about things, for instance the temp dropped to low 30's which we didn't plan for and had not turned on the heat, she contacted us to let us know the temp in the house was 50 degrees and asked if we wanted her to turn the heat on. - She went above and beyond our expectations. - Most importantly our Furry Family Member loved having her around. I would definitely use Claire again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look in on their furry loved one.”
“Maja took great care of our two pups! In addition to being flexible when schedules changed, she gave very detailed reports and took plenty of photos. We knew our dogs were in good hands!”
“Mary took notes when we first did a meet and greet and asked good questions. She is friendly, professional, and is in-tune with what animals need. She took great care of my cat and communicated well before/during/after. Thank you, Mary!”

Nouha was wonderful with our kitties! She was communicative, professional, and reliable throughout her visits. We especially appreciated the extra photos and updates, and it was clear that she took the time not just to take care of the cats’ basic needs, but to give them some attention and affection while we were away. The house was clean and everything was in order when we returned, which was an added bonus. It gave us great peace of mind knowing the kitties were in such good hands. We’d definitely be happy to have Nouha care for them again!
Maja is the best! I have had her take care of my dog and multiple of my foster dogs when I’ve been away for the weekend and she always takes the best care of all of them. She always leaves detailed logs of her visit as well as pictures. I definitely recommend her to care for your babies!
Florencia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about animals. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Doug was happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Florencia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! ❤️🐾
Jason was punctual and made sure to always send me photos of my cats while I was gone. I had been dealing with some anxiety about leaving my geriatric cat alone while I was on vacation but with Jasons thorough check ins I felt at ease knowing they were all in good hands. I definitely will be using him again for my next trips away from home to ensure I can relax without worrying about my kitties. Thanks Jason! Go Pacers!
Sebastian was terrific with my pups. Took the time to meet each one and ask questions before hand. Then during the drop-ins took pictures and sent details of how my 2 dogs were doing each day. I felt very confident that they were in good hands while I wasn't able to be home.
Raven really liked Jamie! She’s usually very shy and tends to run and hide whenever we have guests, so it meant a lot to see her feel so comfortable with Jamie. Jamie is wonderful with cats, and she sent the sweetest photos and videos while I was away. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Indianapolis on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,651 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
