About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including having two of my own. I love dogs to the point I want to become a veterinarian. I would love the experience of getting to know dogs and their personalities Pet care fits into my routine on the days I’m available: Sunday through Tuesday and Fridays. On some days I get out of school at 12, so I’m free from 1–10, and on other days I get out at 2:10, so I’m free from 3–10. I also have a part-time job at a carwash, but I can plan around it to make sure I spend plenty of quality time with I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy wherever they are. I follow the owners’ instructions for feeding, walking, and playtime, and I give lots of attention and love. I’ve cared for my own dog for over 10 years, including training and handling a dog with aggression, so I know how to manage different personalities and needs.
About: My family and I have owned dogs since before I can remember, and I have helped take care of them, as well as petsit for others, since I was old enough to do so on my own. I am a generally calm and affectionate person around dogs, which makes me a good fit for more anxious/nervous dogs. I currently work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, which leaves weekends and Monday/Friday open for me to house/petsit! On Mondays I am free in the mornings and after 5pm, and on Fridays + weekends I am completely free. As I have my own anxious dog at home who really prefers to be a single dog, I am more comfortable housesitting than boarding. I am adaptable to most dog schedules, and am used to both high energy and low energy dogs.
“Luis was great with our mix of dogs. He kept in mind each of their needs and ensured that they got all they could out of their time with him. We have one that fears other humans, one that thinks he is a guard dog and one that just wants all the love and attention she can get. He met them all where they were and let them feel safe. He communicated well and gave great feedback on how they did. It felt so good to know our pups were in good hands.”
“Ross was fantastic. My Cru can be a handful at times and he really showed up for me when she was not exhibiting her best behavior. He handled the situation professionally, calmly, very effectively and I am very grateful for his time spent with my two dogs. I could not have asked for more. I would definitely rebook him but that’s assuming he would even accept us again given her little spectacle she caused.”
“Sandy does a wonderful job! Always on time, and never any issues. Sandy has also responded numerous times unexpectedly when we are in a pinch. Most reliable sitter we have ever used on Rover. Highly recommend!”

I work full-time, but from home at least one or twice a week. My weekends and afternoon/evenings are very open and I am thankfully very mobile. I am very mobile so I can visit and care for your pets in the home they’re used to staying in.

“Adam did an awesome job with my pups! Adam has cool vibes, communicates very well, and put my mind and heart at ease with my fur bumpkins. Even with a Reno project going on, Adam came through and assisted. Looking forward to the next time Adam gets to work with my trio!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and love them deeply. I volunteered with a cat rescue for 5 years, and last year started volunteering with a pitbull rescue, including doggy days out, events, and fostering. I wake up around 8am and feed my cat before letting my dogs out in the backyard for a potty break and to run around for a bit. I feed them and let them in to eat, and then play with them periodically while I work, and let them outside every two hours or so. If work allows, I take them for a midday walk as well. In the evening we hang out on the couch while I read or watch a show, and then they are crated for bedtime until we wake up. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to play with. Both are happily crated at bedtime or when we leave the house.
“Christy did an excellent job! She dropped in on my two cats while I was out of town and gave both of them their inhaler doses without issue. She spent a good amount of quality time with them and helped them feel relaxed while I was away!”
“She was absolutely great and sweet with our cat ❤️ she took care of all of his extra stuff like timed feeder, catio access etc. I'm glad our cat had such great company while we were away.”
“Makenzie was wonderful with our little guy who tends to be nervous with new people. She gave us updates and pictures with each visit so we could see how he was doing. I highly recommend using Makenzie!”
About: I have been around dogs and animals in general my entire life. I’m currently housing a year old German Shepard with a lot of energy! I’m an EMT looking for work in the month of May. Hoping to be hired onto Indy ems. I love walking so whether your dog prefers long or short walks I am happy either way! I have one dog, her name is Tasha, and I've had her for most of my life. I follow directions exactly as they are given and am observant to changes in behavior.
“Leah has been absolutely amazing to work with. She is extremely responsive and also takes the best care of your pets. Our dog is always ecstatic when she comes to care for him when we are out of town. Can’t recommend Leah enough!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over three years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, potty breaks, and LOTS of affection while they're away. I understand that every dog has a special personality and routine, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to make every visit fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet! p.s. There are no pictures in my profile of clients’ pets, as I keep client photos secure/not visible to the public. I currently work part-time, finishing up graduate school for therapy. Despite that, I'm very flexible and committed to providing dependable care that fits your pet's routine. My schedule allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I'm happy to work with anyone to find times that best meet their needs. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll communicate and make sure they receive proper attention and exercise. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions before every booking. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain alert to my surroundings, and in your home I'll respect your space while keeping your pet's environment clean and secure. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands.
About: I grew up on a farm and I was the one responsible for feeding, walking and the safety of the animals. Trained puppies of all breeds. I have previous vet assistant experience. I have experience with grooming long haired breeds and administering medicine. I check daily temps outside to make sure pets don’t get too hot on walks. I have experience in noticing signs of bloat and know how to intervene. I will always let you know the minute your pet seems a bit “off”. I lost both of my Golden Retrievers due to age and now I fill my home with helping others and their pets which shines light into my life! I’m currently not working, so I am available anytime your pet needs me. I strive to give my pets the best care possible, and I will do the same for you. I have a fenced in yard and a river walk near by for daily exercise. I am used to medicine routines for cats/dogs as well. My pets have always been on flea meds and UTD.
“Alexandria was a great sitter during our extended time away from our pets. She made the pets feel comfortable, followed all our instructions, and communicated following her visits and as we needed. Should we need a sitter in the future, we'll certainly reach out to her again! We highly recommend.”
About: Hi, my name is Savannah and I am an all around dog lover! My husband and I are looking to make some extra money on the side and decided to take up dog sitting/walking due to our absolute love for animals. My family had a dog throughout my childhood and the two of us now have to lovable and beyond spoiled Aussiedoodles ourselves. so I have had plenty of experiences with everything from the puppy years to the many walks and cuddles. I’ve also had other experience with sitting other people’s dogs. I’m basically just looking to help out where I can. I am a very active person so I love walks/runs and being outside. Our two dogs are beyond friendly and love to play and be active with other dogs. I’m willing to be pretty flexible and open to whatever special requirements you need for your animal.

Beth and Scott were absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking with them, and once again, they took incredible care of our dog over a busy holiday week. They kept us updated the entire time and were even flexible enough to refund our last couple of visits when we made it home early. We had total peace of mind while away and will definitely continue booking them in the future!
Malika did a fantastic job with our dog during two 60-minute drop-in visits! She was very communicative throughout the day, sent lots of pictures and updates, and clearly took great care of him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Julia was beyond amazing ! The nicest from start to finish. loved on my fur baby like he was her own . I was worried about being away for extended time but Julia wiped away any and all doubts before day 1 was even finished . She has a repeat client here for sure ❤️
I had a great experience with Lorrie!. Her and her Partner were able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which really helped me feel comfortable and for my dog. She was very patient with my dog Ava, and she completed all her check-ins with photos and great communication throughout. We were able to visit my fiancée’s parents with total peace of mind knowing our dogs were being well cared for. Highly recommend!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
