About: I've been working with dogs off and on since I was 14. I've helped with vet visits, gone on walks, supervised park visits, and more especially as I've grown up and become more independent. I've also helped friends with training new habits and retraining old ones. I live with my elderly parents mowing the lawn and helping bring in the weekly groceries but after that my time is my own. I've found that having something to do outside the home is also rather rewarding (and going to the gym can be expensive.) For the dogs I sit for, I ask their owners to provide food and outline a schedule to maintain routines. I also ask that owners provide a current phone number and preferred veterinarian in case of emergency. I only work with one pet at a time unless there are multiple pets in the same household and they get along with each other.
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was about 9 years old! I had a hamster growing up and we had two family dogs growing up. I have experience taking care of other people's animals as well as taking care of family pets such as my sister's dog (beagle mix) and my parent's dogs (two Chesapeake bay retrievers and a rescue hound). I also have experience taking care of cats for family & friends! I also have experience helping take care of newborn puppies, as my stepdad breeds Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. I love animals and I am very passionate about taking care of them and have always had a special place in my heart for them. As of right now I work full time, from 8am-5pm I am available evenings after 5pm and I am available on weekends. I could also potentially be available on my lunch break depending on the location, as I get an hour lunch break daily from 11am-12pm. I unfortunately can't offer in-home services at this time. I will be sure to follow any instructions or guidelines you need met for your fur-baby. I am a respectful individual and I will be sure your pet has the best care!
About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
About: I've had animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would go out of my way to walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would let me. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals from cats and dogs to standard farm-animals, rodents, and reptiles. I also have experience with true exotics as seen in some of my photos as I was previously a zookeeper. If there is an emergency that requires veterinary intervention, I will contact you immediately and take your pet to a vet or emergency vet of your choice. And if you have any extra tasks you need me to do like collecting mail & packages or watering plants, I can do that too! I work my day job Tuesdays - Saturdays from 7am - 12pm in Indianapolis and can be with your pet continuously before and after those hours. If you need a pet with constant care however, you will have to look somewhere else or book at least 2 weeks in advance. While my prices may seem steep, with my knowledge and years of experience, you will find that my care goes above and beyond! I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.
“Laurie was AWESOME. She was so attentive and understanding. My pup had an upset stomach and she didn’t even think about it and helped clean it up. I was so embarrassed but she was so sweet about it. She’s the best.”
“Jazlin was wonderful with my cats!! It was such a relief knowing they were well cared for while I was away. Both cats warmed up to her! That means a lot. I hated the idea of them hiding...but I didn't need to worry...they both came out to meet her. She was super easy to work with and had great communication...I'd definitely book her again! Thanks, Jazlin!!!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️
About: Hi, My name is Heaven. I have experience with all sorts of animals dating back to 2013! You can find me on Facebook @ Pups In Action! Many of my friends and clients consider me to be an animal whisperer! I have no preferences on the size or training level of your pet. (Dog reactivity included) I’m comfortable using whatever you have provided for our walks. If you have the best trained dog or one who needs a person who has a little bit more patience and extra experience I’m who you’re looking for:) I am a full time Caregiver. I have a passion for helping animals and their owners. I put my soul into every dog I work with. You’ll see they’ll love me from the moment they meet me!) I follow the directions my clients give me to a T. I want to take care of your baby the same way that you do.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kokomo is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 723 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kokomo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
