“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!”

About: I have worked in pet resorts and boarding facilities, and whether a pet needs extra playtime or snuggles, medicines (including insulin), a special comfort item, or needs to be separated from housemates during meal time, no request is too far-fetched when it comes to taking care of your beloved pets! My experience in pet resorts allows me to offer enriching playtime and exercise, and to notice any irregularities in mood or eating habits, and to efficiently relay that information to pet parents. When it comes to walks, I have a defensive handling certification from The Dog Gurus, and am always aware of the risks that leaving the home entails. In addition, I have completed their Knowing Dogs 101 and 201 courses, which provides me with a solid knowledge base when it comes to dog behaviors and body language. I also am comfortable caring for bunnies, as I have a senior rabbit myself, and am familiar with the closest neighborhood vet that will treat our long-eared friends! Rover is my current focus, so I have a flexible schedule to offer passionate pet care to your dogs and cats! Whether it's walks or a visit, I can get it on the books! Currently not offering boarding in my home, but when it comes to a client's home, I'm able to follow any routines or schedules the pets may have!
“Leah did exceptional walking & caring for my large dog who has some anxiety. Would definitely book her again without hesitation! She will make you feel at ease when away from your pet & also make your pet comfortable and cared for”

About: Many of my friends and family refer to me as an animal whisperer. I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats by providing feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I follow all care instructions closely—whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or just extra cuddles. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’m looking to make a career out of animal care. I’m currently free at whatever times you may need. All days of the week, I am available! When I care for your pets in your home, my top priorities are trust, safety, and keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires confidence, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow your pets routine as closely as possible—whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. Your home will always be treated with respect and care. I keep things clean, organized, and secure, and I make sure your dog’s space remains calm and safe. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings to prevent any accidents or escapes. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home.

About: I’ve spent the past year overseeing and caring for 150+ dogs at a time through working at a dog daycare. With that i’ve been exposed and gotten comfortable with caring for all rages from puppies to seniors or even reactive dogs/ dogs with behavioral issues. I’m comfortable administering any medications and able to make whatever accommodations your babies need! As a dog owner myself I know how important the small details are! I currently work at a doggy daycare so most days i’m unavailable between 1-7 otherwise I’m flexible to work weekends mornings and nights! I always stress the importance of accommodating the specific needs of the animal and owner. With that I will care for your pet in any way needed. Communication on expectations is very important to me! Otherwise I always make sure to not only take care of your animal but your home.

About: i'm very patient and observant and I love to take care of animals and be around them as well. I've never had a dog not like me. my normal day job is a peer recovery specialist working with people in sober living, and I am an aspiring musician with my own band I always make sure to get the instructions and feed times and assure pet parents that if anything needs extra attention if I need to reach out, I will and I like to go above and beyond to make sure our furry friends are taken care of
“Bibiana was so kind meeting Cruz 🐾 today! He loved her! I’m so glad I know I have someone so kind and reliable to help me with Cruz when I need it. I’m sure Cruz will be so excited to see his new friend in a few days!”

“Gabriel did a fantastic job with communication, photos, and videos. He came right as expected and went above and beyond on the job. He is truly a wonderful pet sitter that anyone can trust!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chihuahua, a small, energetic little brown bean with a shiny coat. Through the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of small dog care, from daily morning and evening walks to preparing soft meals tailored to her needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing pets with personalized care, whether it’s ensuring they get the right nutrition, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work hybrid from home, which allows me to provide attentive care for pets. I'm available for boarding, house sitting, and check-ins from Thursday to Sunday. Additionally, I offer check-ins and house sitting on Monday to Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I live in an apartment, but my complex is surrounded by beautiful trees and open space, perfect for walking and running around. There’s always something fun to do outside, whether it’s exploring nature or playing in safe, pet-friendly areas. Inside, I ensure a comfortable and secure environment, keeping toxic foods and hazardous items out of reach.
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.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have raised both of my dogs from young puppies into happy adults. Having a reactive dog has given me valuable hands-on experience with patience, reading body language, managing triggers, and creating a calm, safe environment. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I provide thoughtful, personalized care. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is flexible. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that fit everyone’s needs and routines smoothly. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment where they’re most comfortable. I follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality and needs—whether that means active play, training reinforcement, cuddles, or giving space to a shy pet. I also make sure water is fresh, messes are cleaned up, and your home is secure when I leave. You can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles and love spending time with everyone’s pets! Please reach out for any and all pet care needs. 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. I am comfortable with dog-walking, playing outside/inside, and giving your animals the space they need around a new person. I have two special needs pets so I have experience with unique pet needs and am very capable of making sure I provide quality care!
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.

“Jerra was great. She spent a little extra time with my kitty when she thought she needed some more attention, even during the busy holiday season, and sent some lovely pictures and updates. Will be using her again!”
About: I have watched and taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I have great experience with animals I first meet, even if they seem a bit mean. I have raised my own dog for the past 10 years with issues in anxiety, from pup to adult pup! I understand feeding times and how important they can be to making sure medication is delivered appropriately. While i travek with my wife, i have dealt with a wide variety of dogs from the app, nothing has been to hard to deal with or anything i couldnt handle! With patience and adaptability is how I persevere. I am also LGBTQ+ friendly! I do not discriminate and want to foster good relationships with my clients so they know I can be trusted to take care if their pet! (Or home, in the event I house sit!) I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! My wife and I currently have 2 dogs and a cat! The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take my dogs on walks in the various parks around where we are living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!
About: I'm a zookeeper, Certified Professional Animal Trainer (CPAT-KA), and have a Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior! With 5 years as a zookeeper, 3 years as a dog (and other animal) trainer, and 2 years working in dog kennels and rescues, I'm well equipped for any and all of your animal's needs! Whether it's dogs, cats, farm animals, or any other pets, I'm ready to provide the best quality and loving care to your animals. I work full time as a zookeeper, but I'm available before 7:30 am as needed, and anytime after 4:30pm Wednesdays-Sundays. I'm available all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'll treat your pets as my own, with all the love and treatment you give them! I follow all instructions and advice, and am equipped to handle all sorts of situations. If there are multiple animals, animals that need to be separated, that need special attention, or anything else.
“Julie has watched my dog multiple times now and has impressed me more and more each time. This time Ele got sick (from eating grass while we had a friend do a late night check in) and Julie was kind enough to get it cleaned up for us when she didn't need to. Will continue to user her services”

Lawrence dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time ever using Rover, so we were a little nervous leaving Otto with someone new, but Beth and Scott completely put us at ease. They were fantastic from start to finish and it was obvious they genuinely cared about Otto. The biggest sign to us was that we could tell Otto absolutely loved them. He seemed happy, comfortable, and excited during their visits, which meant so much while we were away. They kept us updated and gave us peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We’re so thankful for the care they gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Beth and Scott again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!

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!
