“Mary was amazing with our two dogs, who are quite the characters! She provided pictures every visit and a wonderful note to describe how the dogs were doing. We will certainly be reaching out again next time we go out of town! We 100% recommend Mary!”

“Sarah was incredible. Our cat is a little shy and dumb and Sarah got her to come out and even got some cuddles (with a little convincing with treats of course). It was great to know that our cat was getting some love while we are out of town!😁”

About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.
“We hired Kelsey to care for our elderly cat who requires medicine 2x a day while going out of town. Our cat is very shy but took to Kelsey very quickly. She was punctual, meticulous, and went above and beyond to provide outstanding care for our sweet guy. She played with him, took outstanding notes, followed up with updates and pics, and ensured he got everything he needed. We would hire her again with no question. Highly recommend her.”

“Katlyn was amazing! She took amazing care of our cats and was very knowledgeable about their health. She also sent these funny and informative updates. We plan to rebook with Katlyn.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs all my life, and I have lots of experience with big breeds as I’ve owned three Newfoundlands and a Leonberger. I also have some experience with elderly dogs. I have assisted in training all the dogs I’ve owned, and most importantly, I love all animals! I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’ve gotten plenty of time to spend time with your doggy. I’m less available early in the day (6–9AM), but from 9AM onward I’m at the disposal of your puppy. :) I’m quite good with crate training, as well as dogs that are a bit more stubborn. I am comfortable staying with them as long or as short as needed. I also have a lot of experience walking dogs that require prong collars or harnesses.
“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.
“I always appreciate Amanda’s personalized care of my cat. She communicates with me at least once a day & sends pics of Lou being Lou. 😺 I highly recommend her as a sitter. I’ve rebooked her for my next trip, already.”


“Ryan went above and beyond what was expected of him. He took excellent care of my two dogs and bonded very well with both of them. Will use him again without any hesitation. Thank you Ryan for taking such good care of them”

During walks, I ensure dogs are safely leashed, hydrated when needed, and given appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and individual needs.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued a 6 year old white Labrador named “Zorro” who we brought before Covid began. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals.

About: I volunteered with a local animal shelter all through my college career, and only stopped when I neeed to move. I have worked with animals that are nervous of people, animals that love people, seniors and puppies! I am also familiar with basic dog training. I'm working from home so I'm always available to walk, sit, nap, or play with your pup! Boarding will never be a problem so long as I'm home, and I have a car available for home visits. I have my own dog (Chihuahua mix!!) that LOVES other dogs and will play until they both drop. I have a crate available for small dogs and an area of the apartment sectioned off that's safe for dogs to roam or chill if they need alone time. When visiting your home, I will treat it like my own and respect any house rules.
About: 🐶 Having been surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for their care. Growing up with dogs and raising my own, Harlow 🐾, from a puppy, has given me firsthand experience in fostering their well-being. My passion for animals extends beyond personal experience—participation in clubs at the Pittsburgh Zoo 🦁 provided me with valuable insights into animal behavior and care, further enhancing my knowledge. Being from Pittsburgh, I am fluent with many resources for me to enjoy with pets. 🐕🦺 My pet care journey started in 2014 with my first job at a dog care store on Butler Street, where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. During my internship with the Water Authority in Bradford, PA, I dedicated my lunch breaks to volunteering at the local SPCA 🏠, offering love and attention to animals in need. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated, knowledgeable, and empathetic sitter. 💛 As an alumni M.S. engineering student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for my pets. I can easily fit dog walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine, ensuring each pet gets the attention it deserves. My love for animals and adaptable schedule make it easy to prioritize their well-being. I currently care for two dogs, my mother's and her boyfriend's, and have hands-on experience managing their daily needs. At home, I ensure a safe environment with our fenced-in yard and always prioritize the pets' well-being. For my clients' pets, I’m adaptable to their specific routines, whether that involves feeding, walks, playtime, or creating a comfortable space. Every pet in my care receives love and attention tailored to their unique needs.
About: Ive taken care of different animals ever since i was younger, friends and family rely on me to keep their pet company during that time I currently work a part time job which gives me plenty of time to do a drop in visits or do a walk for how ever long it may take also gives me a lot of times to keep your pup company for being in other people’s homes I make sure I’m respectful of their things, make sure all doors and gates are closed for the pets safety, for dog walking I would just get the dogs leash and harness and take them for their walk and for drop in visits I would just do whatever I am needed to do!
Indianola pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sweet, caring, trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Sarah watched my 2 dogs & cat on a last minute request. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. However, Sarah made the whole experience a total joy. She was over the top responsive, always provided details about the visits, was happy to add a visit and tweek the times if needed. I look forward to using her services again and absolutely 100% recommend her.
