“Once again, Mary did an excellent job with our kitties, Adora and Chika. They both meow highly about her and enjoy her visits. Even our shy Chika will allow for occasional petting. Thank you again, Mary, for watching our spoiled babies.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits. I’m currently working in the mornings until 2-4 pm and would love to spend my evenings crying for dogs who are I need. I am available during late hours during the weekdays and weekends. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. During walks and visits, I keep pets secure, use proper leash handling, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.
“Audrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. We’ve got elderly pets, so there’s feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have worked in a dog kennel / daycare for the past 3 years. I am currently employed at the Zionsville country kennel but would be available Monday through Friday before 1pm. I own 2 dogs, 3 cats and adore working with animals. Although I am currently working at the Zionsville country kennel and dog daycare but i will be available Monday through Friday, anytime before 1 pm. I have many years experience keeping animals safe not only from other animals but from themselves. Your pet will be kept under supervision the entire time under my care.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Growing up with pets and living on farms gave me a lifelong love and appreciation for all animals. I treat every pet like family, just like my own, and proudly call my son's Corgi my granddoggy! I would love the opportunity to give your fur babies lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while you're away. Your pets will always be in caring, loving hands! I work from home on my own schedule so I can walk away anytime the at is needed. I also love to have a furry friend sit on my lap or with me as I work. There is always time and room for a friend with me. I am also off work for surgery recovery until the beginning of December so I have lots of free time right now (recovery does not restrict my activity). I treat pets like children in my home. I love to bake homemade doggy treats with peanut butter, oatmeal, and pumpkin. Your fur baby will be by my side at times unless they want some alone time. I also love in a neighborhood on a dead end. Our neighborhood goes in a 2 miles loop se we can walk everyday!
About: I have had pets all my life; I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. I’ve even stayed with some fur babies for the week at a customer’s house who frequented the greenhouse i worked at. I also rescued a cuban tree frog from a tropical plant truck shipment from Florida- she has been with me for 3 years now. I also have a Chameleon who just turned 2! My three cats keep me busy and on my toes. I’ve had many dogs and would love to have one but it wouldn’t be ideal for my living situation. I am eager to have the opportunity to meet more people and pets! 😁 I would be available throughout the weekdays, i get off my job around 5:30 and would be available to travel and stay for a few hours in the evening; I am open to staying the night if needed. I sometimes work Saturday morning till noon but am open the rest of the weekend unless i have prior plans made. I am capable of performing any pet duties needed with love. Caring for animals is a passion of mine and I am excited to care for yours!
About: Giants are my passion! I have driven to the far side of Texas, Arkansas, Canadian US boarder, Florida, Ocean side of Virginia and everything in between to rescue Giants from all walks of life and age. At the moment I have 4 St. Bernards, 2 Great Danes, a Mastiff and a Terrior Mix; all brought into my home at different times, at random ages and health; today I have a conducive healthy pack whom are open fed without issue. I have children from newborns to the elderly visit or stay without issue. I homeschool my 3 children. Hourly checks made on food supply available, washing and filling water dishes with clean fresh water. Fenced in dog play ground including tunnels, obstacles, shade and lots of sun! Each year we expand our dog park (1/4 of my yard completely fenced in from 3 access points including 2 walk out points from the house) boundaries and/or obstacles with the intent to keep our 4 leg family members safe, healthy, and happy.
“Alyssa was great with our doggies! She sent us pics at every visit, so we could see how great they were doing. They had time to play outside and get some snuggles, and were also kept on their usual feeding routine. Would totally recommend her and would schedule with her again!”
About: Young professional who loves to spend time with dogs in my free time. My free time is usually spent at home watching movies and just relaxing. What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I regularly dog-sit for my neighbors, and I also have two 95-lb Golden Retrievers, a Dachshund, and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with both large and small pets. I love spending time playing with dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m a first-year business student at IU Indianapolis studying marketing. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care!

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for my own pets, including both cats and dogs, along with volunteer work through animal shelter outreach programs and fostering. Having raised my rescued Pitbull Delilah, now 13, I've cared for pets through every stage of life--from playful puppies to senior companions--giving me unique insight and compassion that sets me apart from other sitters. As a stay-at-home-mom, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, offering consistent attention, timely walks, caring and loving companionship I prioritize safety by providing a pet-proof environment, secure spaces, and constant supervision. Families can trust me to care for pets with love, patience and reliability in my home and theirs.
“Very attentive and careful while walking my husky that hasn’t always been well behaved on a leash. He even tried working with her to reduce her pulling. Gave her all the attention she needed when she was missing her family! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
