“Roger and Norbert had such an enjoyable stay with Sam! She took GREAT care of them and sent lots of pictures of the pups in walks, playing, and relaxing which helped me with the natural dog mom anxieties of leaving your pups while on vacation. ? I would absolutely leave my babies with Sam again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pup sitter in Indy!”

“Hank had a great stay with Richard! Richard sent videos or photos every day to stay in touch and always replied very quickly if I had questions! Hank will definitely be returning.”

“Mary and Jack are such sweethearts!!I loved the open line of communication. She kept me updated and sent pictures daily!! It’s great to know that my fur babies are in good hands while I’m on vacation!”

“Yelena is a blessing and I’m glad my neighbor referred Rover to me. Noah loves her and her puppies and he got along with the other dogs that were in her care. 10/10 recommends. I’ve already booked our next stay. Thanks Yelena😃”

“Mrs. G did a wonderful job taking care of our Hilton, so much so that when I came to pick him up, he acted a bit like he thought I was just coming to visit him on vacation, not to take him home. Very happy with his care and its good to have a go to with Mrs. G”

“Wonderful caretakers. Our dog had some anxiety issues while we were gone and Precious was very communicative and helpful navigating taking care of our boy.”

“Christopher was great to work with! He was super sweet to my dog, spoke highly of him and followed all my care directions. He was highly communicative and very flexible! I appreciate his care! We have already booked our next boarding stay with him.”

“Zula had so much fun staying at Leta’s home and playing with her fur family. I received pictures and video every day with updates. It was as if Leta had known Zula for years. She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”


About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up my parents always had dogs and cats. My best-friend growing up was my dog Samantha who just turned 15 is a sweet Belgian Mali. I work at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation as a cook for the the Early Education Center. I work from 7am-1pm and then I am home with my dog Lyla and I enjoy going out and taking her out on walks/hikes to Fort Harrison and to the nearby parks in Lawrence. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs can run around in any time they would like too. I live on a quiet street just outside of 465.

“Thank you for being so flexible when the airlines put us in a bind! I love that he was loving on you as much as me when I picked him up! What a great sign of his enjoyment all week! Thank you!!”
“We received peace of mind by daily checkins with pictures or videos of our little pup. Our Daisy girl was in very good capable loving hands with Gabriel. We highly recommend him and will plan on booking him again if we need it.”

“Bowen was communicative and very reliable. My dog has behavioral issues (severe separation anxiety and reactivity) and I’m hesitant to send him off, but Bowen made me feel very comfortable. Bowen even provided me extensive information around how I could help his anxiety as we continue training. He was extremely happy and showed no signs of stress (he typically does) when he returned to me. I will definitely use Bowen again and would highly recommend!”

“Tammy was amazing! As soon as I met her, it was clear she is a dog lover. I was very comfortable leaving Furby with her. She sent me lots of pics and a video. She assured me he was being well taken care of. I’m confident Furby received a lot of love. I would highly recommend Tammy and I will definitely book with her again. Thanks Tammy!”

“Fantastic experience! Julie’s home is set up perfectly to accommodate your pet. No question that we will pursue using Julie in the future when we need a dog sitter. Easy to work with and for us…it is close to home. Our dog really enjoyed his stay and playing with the other dogs. She sent numerous pictures letting us know how our dog was doing. That was reassuring to us that our dog was getting great care. Thank you Julie!!”

“Christopher (and his son) were the best sitters we’ve ever has. Our dog gets anxious easily and this is the first home we feel at ease knowing she is 100% happy, safe, and cared for. He sends updates and pictures and is very understanding and flexible with scheduling. HIGHLY recommend.”

“David was so great to my two frenchies. We completed a meet and greet and I knew within minutes of my dogs exploring and meeting the pack that this would be a great fit. They got to make new friends and be part of a very well behaved pack. They received lots of activity in his large enclosed yard with plenty of space to run or explore. Dogs were bathed on pickup and looked happy and healthy. David send daily videos which were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using David for all my travel plans knowing my dogs are in good hands.”

Lawrence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was absolutely amazing with our not entirely housebroken 14-week-old puppy!!! She kept me updated with how he was doing and even taught him how to sit! He came home extremely happy and well cared for. I will definitely have her watch our puppy in the future.

Rashawnda was truly an amazing dog sitter for my baby boy, Bear! I was initially worried because Bear has anxiety and doesn’t usually do well in unfamiliar environments. But thanks to Rashawnda’s patience and loving care, he settled in quickly and felt right at home. She kept me updated and I could tell Bear was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my pup. I would highly recommend Rashawnda to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
