About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart! Being a pet owner myself, with a few dogs of my own, I’ve learned that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines. I’m passionate about providing dependable, loving care that makes both pets and their owners feel comfortable. Whether your furry friend needs an energetic walk, some fun playtime, extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m here to help! I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to the little details that make each pet unique. I believe pets are family, and they deserve to be treated that way! My goal is to build lasting relationships with pets and their owners while making every visit a positive experience. 🐶🐱💗 I’m currently a high school student completing my classes online from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! 🐾💕 Since I’m home throughout the day, I can easily make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I also have a dog named Lilly and a bunny named Sage, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday routine! I love spending time with animals and would be happy to make your pets part of my day! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! 💗 As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands. I have a dog named sage and a bunny named lily, so I’m familiar with the responsibility, patience, and attention animals need. I make sure pets have fresh water, proper meals, a clean environment, and plenty of love! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions and routines. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send pictures and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐶🐱🐾
“Sandy did an amazing job with my dog! He was having trouble adjusting to his new surroundings. He was not an easy guest to deal with, but she and her family rolled with it, and took very good care of him in spite of the challenges.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for many years. I have provided pet sitting services for over 15 years and was a devoted dog owner for 15 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a pet's life.Since 2018, I have been actively involved in fostering, caring for animals with a wide range of needs and personalities. My experience includes senior dogs, small breeds, cats, puppies, newborns, nursing mothers, and pets requiring medical attention or specialized care. Through fostering and pet sitting, I have become comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing extra patience and support to pets who need it most.What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet's individual needs while treating them like family. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior needing extra comfort, or recovering from a medical issue, I provide attentive, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. 🐾 Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I do not work outside the home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for feedings, medication schedules, playtime, and individualized attention. My daily routine is already centered around caring for foster animals, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent feeding times and providing attentive care to pets with a variety of needs. Whether your cat requires extra monitoring, a structured routine, or simply companionship, I have the time and flexibility to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a pet-friendly home environment. I also have resident cats, so any visiting pets should be comfortable around cats or able to be safely separated if needed. With over 15 years of pet-sitting experience and fostering since 2018, I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and needs, including seniors, medical cases, kittens, puppies, and nursing mothers. I closely follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Because I have an open schedule and caring for animals is my primary focus, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home while their families are away. 🐾🐱🐶
“Levi stayed with Stacy during the holiday and Stacy made sure to give us frequent updates. Her son and her pup were also really welcoming to our pups. Stacy also was really accommodating of our drop-off and pick-up!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. Rescues have always been my preference for my personal fur baby but I love all fur babies big and small. I have professional experience as well working in a doggy daycare w/boarding. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on Weekends and after 2pm on Thursdays and 10am on Fridays. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly pup of my own to play with and I can gate/crate your dog if I need to.
“Gabriel was an absolute professional and took such great care of our dog while we were gone for a week. We never had to worry and he had great communication and updates for us. He treats our dog like one of his family. It is clear his home is a warm and welcoming place for any animals and I wholeheartedly recommend his services. I will be using him again!”

About: Book early for the holidays! 🎄🍂 I have been in the pet care business for over 10 years now! I am comfortable with all ages, breeds and temperaments as well as giving and administering any types of medication’s your pet may need! Your pet is not just watched here. They are understood!❤️ I offer pet care full time so I’m almost always available for my clients when they need me for their family members! Only a phone call away! I prefer all new clients set up a trial daycare day to make sure it’s a good fit! I have a fenced in yard with a 6 foot privacy fence, the yard is turf and rocks for optimal cleanliness! No pets are ever left outside unsupervised and they are always treated as a a family member while staying with me!
“Bill and his wife are so good with our baby and always send us a daily picture of how he is doing. We are always confident of his safety and happiness while he is there! We have used them several times and will continue to do so in the future.”

“Nicole was so sweet and she gave our dog such a nice home away from home while we were out of town. She was very responsive and was willing to work with our schedule which was very helpful! We got pictures of our dog and she looked happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Nicole as she is very friendly and easy to work with!”

“Jacque was so friendly and professional! She took great care of my German Shepherd for 4 days. I loved getting pictures throughout the day to see what my pup was up to--it looked like she had a lot of fun! Between the walks and playing in the yard with the other dogs (which is pretty big by the way), she must have been well exercised, because she slept like a champ at the end of the trip. In the beginning she didn't take too kindly to a couple of the other dogs, which was a concern I had expressed might arise; but Jacque handled it professionally, and there were no further issues. I am confident that she knows what she's doing, and would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”

About: I've had dogs all of my life and love them all! I have delivered multiple sets of puppies and also helped dogs recover from Parvo. Now that my kids are out of the house, I rescue dogs and pet sit on occasion. I have now decided to open my home to other dogs. I will love and take care of your dog/dogs as my own. I can also give dogs medication if needed. I am retired, so I stay at home most of the day. I am available at all times for whatever your need is. I have a very relaxed lifestyle and home, so it will be a peaceful home. I have a fenced in yard and 3 small dogs of my own. I have a second bedroom, where I can crate the dog if needed. I can let the dogs out as needed.
“He came through for me in a pinch and was very accommodating. When everyone turned me down he was willing to board my boy who struggles with aggression towards other dogs and has even provided training to get him on the right track. My boy stayed for 3 nights and was treated like family with him, I even got daily updates at least 3 times a day and that made me even more comfortable as it was the first time my boy has been away from our family. Wakka was having so much fun with him that I couldn’t tell if he wanted to leave or not, I will definitely only go to Corey from this point for any needs I have and I’m lucky to have used his services.”

“Sara is a rockstar!! Our fur baby is 13 years old and needs patience and love, but he thrived in Sara’s care. Also, Sara was very accommodating to travel arrangement changes with minimal notice.”

About: I have been a pet lover my whole life! I had pets growing up and as an adult. Over the last 20+ years, I had two dogs and they both lived to be 16. I would like to think that they lived that long because of all the love and care I gave them over the years. I recently lost my last one earlier this year and have decided to take care of others until I am ready to get another on my own. I currently work remote two days a week from home so I am available during the week a couple days and after work the days I go to the office. I am also around most weekends and willing to do drop ins or walks on those days too. I live alone, so I am happy to share my space with your fur baby. I am also able to come to your house to take care of them.
About: I work from home Monday - Friday so your lovable friend will be consistently monitored, I have a two story home with three bedrooms however it’s just my husband and I with our three cats so lots of space, I also have a fenced in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood in Cumberland Indiana if your pet needs to be walked. ☺️ I’ve had several years of hands-on experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, including shy, independent, high-energy, and more strong-willed (‘spicy’) temperaments. My experience comes from raising and caring for my own three cats, each with very different needs and behaviors. I’ve worked closely with rescue cats and understand the patience and consistency required to help them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’m very attentive to body language and behavioral cues, which allows me to adjust my care style to each pet’s comfort level. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment. I have the ability to separate pets if needed, making it ideal for animals who are shy, anxious, or prefer their own space. I prioritize cleanliness, routine, and safety at all times. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets throughout the day. I have several automatic feeders and scheduled wet food times, along with fresh water bowls, so meals are always on time. My husband also comes home at the same time each day, providing extra hands and supervision to ensure pets feel safe and attended to. Our home has a predictable routine, which helps cats feel comfortable and secure. I’m able to adjust playtime, attention, or quiet time to match each pet’s personality, whether they prefer independent relaxation or interactive enrichment. My home is a calm, secure space for pets, located in a safe neighborhood. It’s just my husband, our three cats, and me—no kids—so the environment is quiet and low-traffic. I have multiple rooms available to help cats adjust comfortably, so shy or independent pets can have their own space, while those who enjoy company can stay nearby in my home office while I work. Caring for my own three cats gives me firsthand experience with multi-cat dynamics, and I know how to manage interactions to ensure all pets feel safe and stress-free. I maintain a clean, structured environment with consistent routines, monitored feeding and hydration, and lots of attention to comfort and enrichment. Whether your pet needs quiet personal space or friendly companionship, I tailor their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Mindy is wonderful! She took great care of Lukie. Usually he takes a couple days to warm up to new people but he felt right at home with Mindy almost immediately. She sent great pictures and updates too. I would board Lukie with Mindy again without hesitation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this sitter and the whole family. I feel so grateful and blessed that my first time using this app that God led me straight to this sitter. They were so sweet, so communicative, and treated my babies wonderfully. I really don’t think my pups would want to leave because they were being so spoiled and loved so well. They kept them active by going to the dog park multiple times, so many walks outside each day, lots of playtime and so many cuddle from the kiddos. My dogs were treated just perfectly and I will only ever entrust my dogs with this family. They stayed in touch the entire time and were so friendly, they communicated so great with lots of pictures, messages and videos of my dogs time while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of care that was provided and the quality of people that cared for my dogs. Such a great service and family! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!

We had such a wonderful experience with Ginger’s first stay with Alyson! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet and getting Ginger booked for the same week, which we really appreciated. Alyson has a fenced-in backyard where Ginger had plenty of room to roam and explore, and she was welcome to enjoy the furniture and feel right at home. Alyson’s two children were wonderful with Ginger and loved helping care for her, including taking her on walks with parental supervision. I especially loved receiving all the photos throughout her stay and being able to check in and see how Ginger was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for! Ginger made some wonderful new friends, and she can’t wait to go back and visit them again! If you’re looking for a Rover sitter in the area, I highly recommend Alyson. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🐾❤️

Jessica and her partner are awesome. They’ve watched my boys twice now. And every single time I feel at ease when they’re with her. She’s very responsive and I get lots of pics of my boys when I’m away. She loves on them and they love her back! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is just like me,very nervous to leave their fur babies with just anyone. She’s great!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
