“We had such a wonderful experience with Ginebra! She did an excellent job taking care of our dog and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”

“Dwight was incredible! He and his dogs, his home, and his yard made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog under his care for a week. He was very responsive, pleasant, kept me up to date, and sent pictures. It's great to have someone reliable and good with dogs in the neighborhood! I highly recommend him, and will definitely contact him for future dog sitting.”

About: Every pet has feelings, a unique personality, and a need to feel loved. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding and watching animals. It’s about making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and attention, taking the time to understand their needs and make them feel at home. Your pet deserves more than a sitter. They deserve someone who truly cares. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I strive to maintain your pet’s usual routine while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide pet care exclusively in my own home, which has a fenced-in yard where pets can enjoy outdoor time under supervision. I also have a friendly small dog, and I understand that meeting a new dog can take time. I’ll make introductions slowly and patiently, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort and keeping a close eye on their interactions. I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and welcome. My goal is to provide a clean, loving environment where your furry friend can enjoy a true home away from home while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for years in different sizes and different care needs. I have watched dogs and cats for family members for days at a time I work from home and can keep an eye on the pets the whole time and take breaks for having to go at anytime that they need. I can feed them and give them medication if necessary. Also no open foods or dangerous things for them to get into. I also do not smoke and have a temperature controlled house

“Nichole is an absolute pro! She was above and beyond accomodating, gave us pics and updates of our pup, we couldnt have been happier. My dog felt comfortable around Nichole immediately, and came home enthusiastic and energized, not the usual comatose, sleepy dog for a day or two after a kennel stay. I would highly recommend Nichole to friends, family, and dog lovers alike!”

About: I myself have four pets, one being a senior dog so there's plenty of experience there. She came as a rescue so I'm used to being gentle and working at a dogs pace whether it's sitting with them while they eat or easing them into their kennel. I'm currently a student with classes just twice a week and I work part time remotely, so I have plenty of time to play, walk, and engage with your pets. In my own home, my pets are fed on a schedule, your pets would be fed according to the standards set. Additionally, I keep their spaces clean so if you have a puppy or a senior who can't quite hold their bladder that's something I'm fully prepared for. I also ensure that they get various types of stimulation from walks, to sniff time, to reward based training (if allowed).

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

Angela is an incredible dog sitter and goes so far above and beyond with communicating and sending photos of my dog. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I trust her completely with my dog!!! She recently watched Faith for 3 and a half weeks with zero issues and tons of photos every single day, cannot recommend her enough.

Daryl was absolutely amazing with Jellybean this week. My cat is extraordinarily shy in new environments, and Daryl was super patient, keeping me up to date with pictures and texts on his progress to eventually leave his crate and getting comfortable with her family. She even built a fort so that he could have a safe space to hide and provided him a quiet space to retreat to if he was anxious. I could not ask for a better sitter for him. Thanks again!

We had a great experience with Serena and her family while our dog, Stella, stayed with them for eight days. From the start, it was clear Stella was in a warm and welcoming environment, and she quickly settled right in. Serena and her family were incredibly kind and gracious, and it really showed in how happy and comfortable Stella was during her stay. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for and treated like part of the family. One of the highlights was that Stella even came home having learned a few new tricks! It’s obvious that Serena goes above and beyond, not just looking after the dogs but actually spending quality time with them. We’re very grateful for the care Stella received and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Serena again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!

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 .

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
