“Tracy has been amazing. My dogs warmed right up to him. They have a few accidents, and Tracy cleaned them up very well. He also let me me know so I could make sure the pups weren't getting sick. He is easy to reach and always respectful of my home.”

“We love Hannah! She is reliable, consistent, and prioritizes availability. She is also an excellent communicator, and our dog, Bella, loves her!! We are SO grateful for Hannah and know Bella will be well taken care of with her!”

“Linda easy to communicate with and took wonderful care of both my cats. Going out of the way to engage HC when she was being temperamental. Sent pictures of both of them daily. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Linda!! From the girls ?and I”

“Our family has been blessed with Tara! We could not be more grateful for how well she took care of our family of furry kiddos! Tara was extremely flexible with our changing schedule and ensured she gave extra attention to our kiddos when she came over and provided thorough report cards lol. We even found a box of treats that she had brought over for the pups! I felt confident about everything and didn’t worry about anything at all. Thank you, Tara!”

“Bree was fantastic! She took amazing care of Lucy and sent the best updates and photos. Her detailed messages made me feel so comfortable while I was away, and it was clear Lucy warmed up to her quickly. Highly recommend Bree—she’s wonderful!”

“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”

“Jennifer took care of my pets over a long weekend, and she was amazing! She communicates very well, shares pictures and updates, and my pets absolutely LOVE her! I couldn't recommend her enough!”

“Lisa was great with our girls! Lucy required alot of special feeding and medication care which Lisa did well. Lucy is also very skittish with new people and, by day 2 she LOVED Lisa!! Would definitely request her services again and highly recommend!!”

“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”

About: I’m the go to sitter in my family. I’ve had dogs in the past but due to age they had to put them down. 😭 Due to my husband’s illness it’s no longer ideal for us to have dogs of our own. I love hanging out with dogs, even the hyper ones like my fur-nephew . I am very familiar with weekend long “drop-in’s” walking schedules, feeding and Disbursing of medicine. I’ve not had to give shots, but would be willing to learn if needed. I work during the weekdays but I am available until 8am, then an hour around 2:30 and after 5pm. Weekends I’m usually home. Will keep calendar updated. I live in the city but have a decent yard for the downtown area and it’s a fenced space! I also live near a park, and the river greenway and enjoy walks.

“Leah and Clint are AMAZING!! They take such good care of our baby girl and are very attentive! They sent updated everyday to let me know what was going on. HIGHLY recommend!!”

About: I am 19 and have loved animals from a young age. I love spending time with animals, and can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I currently am in college but have a decently flexible schedule. Currently have classes from noon to 4:15 Tuesday through Thursdays, and have open availability on Monday and Friday. I will be fully focused on your pet and will be as respectful as possible to your space. I am excited to meet your furry pet!
About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.
“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”

About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!
“My mind was put at ease with Brianna taking care of my boy. She is respectful, her communication is great and I can tell she really does love dogs! Definitely recommend her!”

Lakes Of Buckingham pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bree is an outstanding sitter and a lovely human being! She cared for my and my partner’s cats (3) while we were out of town for a couple days. Her detailed check-ins (descriptive and timely updates, soooo many photos! 🥰) eased our hearts while away from the cats. It’s also so clear how much Bree loves doing what she does, AND my super shy cat LOVED playing with her. Bree, thanks for all you did for Hank, Moon Pie, and Kitten! 🥹❤️ I’d love to work with you again.

Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!
