“Gabrielle was amazing with our little Izzy. She was treated just like family and got to have great socialization with their dogs and cats! I loved the videos that she sent us of Izzy having fun playing with them. I most certainly recommend leaving your pet with her! I most definitely will be using her again!”
“Katherine is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. I wish she lived in Texas! We were passing by on our road trip, and the pups needed a place to stay for two nights. Katherine was agreed to keep them at her house, even with the short notice. My dogs were definitely worn out after I got them back. They slept the whole car ride home. Thank you again! ?? ?”
“In our first visit, Sean was great with Opal. She got over her leash reactive response in just 5 minutes and had a wonderful time playing all night with two new friends. We look forward to lots more visits with Sean. Strongly recommend.”
“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”
“Provided regular updates, always responded quickly whenever I messaged her, and took such great care of my fur baby. I picked my pup up happy, healthy, and in great condition. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
About: Welcome! We're the Phenix family—a family of six (plus our two sweet dogs!). We understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, and we strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means visiting dogs are rarely left alone for more than a few hours and have plenty of opportunities to get outside. Safety is one of our top priorities. Our spacious backyard is fully fenced with a secure 4-foot wrought iron fence, giving dogs lots of room to run and play. We know some pups are talented escape artists, so our gates are secured with locks, and every guest wears an AirTag during their stay as an extra precaution—just in case we have a little Houdini on our hands! Our 2 resident pups are Athena (a Collie) and Lulu (a Beagle mix). Both are 10 years old, gentle, and experienced hosts. We've been dog sitting for over 9 years, so they're very comfortable welcoming new furry friends into our home. They're great at reading other dogs' body language and are happy to play or simply give visiting dogs their space if that's what they prefer. To keep everyone happy and healthy, all dogs are fed separately to prevent food-related conflicts, and we only give treats and food provided by each owner to help avoid upset stomachs or dietary issues. We look forward to welcoming your pup into our family and treating them like one of our own while you're away! Our day starts with dogs being let out to go to the bathroom at 6am then breakfast. We have had some late sleepers stay with us, so we do adjust for our sleepy friends. Dogs have access to the backyard whenever they would like and we have plenty of dog toys for them to enjoy. We are happy to accommodate any feeding schedule, so we can keep your pup as close to their normal routine as possible. We have a fully fenced in yard with locks on the gates. Since we know some dogs are great at escaping, we have an air tag just in case.
“Destinee and her husband took my dog at the last second after another sitter backed out 30 minutes before I was to drop him off. Not only did they help me out in a pinch, but they were absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog. I will 100% use them again in the future.”
“He was absolutely amazing most definitely the best decision I’ve made… I was skeptical at first because I’ve never had to board any of my animals I ever had in my life but I am really happy I chose to this time!!! He sent pictures and videos and he treated Harley like his own!!! I will most definitely recommend him to anyone!!! He also went above and beyond for Harley she has anxiety and scratches/bites herself raw sometimes and he went out and got her a cone to help her stop doing it!!!”
“First time using Kelsey for our pet sitter! She was great with both of my fur babies. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up time. I also liked that she wanted to do a meet and greet before sitting them. No other sitter on Rover has requested or said anything about doing that. Kelsey also provided updates throughout Tink and Trig's stay. I highly recommend her for pet sitting needs!”
“Our Goldendoodles were well taken care of and seemed to have a great time! Lots of pictures and updates so we always knew what was going on. Would definitely leave them here again!”
“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”
“Lilli was great communicating with us regarding Penny. We were out of cell network, so some photos and updates didn't work, but with some extra efforts, Lilli was able to let us know that she and Penny were doing fine, and she managed to send photos despite the setback. We will rebook with her when we have need of sitter!”

I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to play. Our own dog is friendly and loves to hang with other dogs too.
“Kellye and Chris were absolutely amazing! They took our little guy in and treated him like he was a part of their family. He had a big yard to play in and had plenty of company. They provided great updates. My wife and I didn’t worry at all. We will definitely will be using them again in the future. Great people!”
“Stephanie and her family made my 14 year old chihuahua feel so loved and welcomed during her stay. I had such a great experience from the moment I messaged her, fast responses, she let me see her house before I agreed to book, and she definitely cares for your furr baby like if it’s where one of her own. I will 100% be using Stephanie in the future and would recommend her to anyone on this app. Thank you Stephanie!”
“My pups love Jim! They’ve been very good when they came back to me after staying with Jim and his wife for 4 weeks. Jim always giving me an update and photos. Would definitely recommend him to someone looking for a dog sitter!”
“This is my first time getting a sitter for my dog, and let me tell you I am so glad I went with Shelby! She is super sweet and genuinely cares for your pet. If I need a sitter again, she will be my choice again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Madison home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Madison.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Madison sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
