“I cannot express how much I appreciated the service. Above and beyond in all respects. Pretty last minute booking, very quick to respond. So sweet and kind. Top notch communication and sent all kinds of pictures. Even swept up the litter and did other extras that were absolutely more than was needed. So very appreciative. Absolutely the best pet sitter experience! Thank you so much for your time and effort. You're amazing!”


About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

“Abbigail was great with my dog and loved the pictures she took and sent to me with updates. It’s hard to leave my dog and be out of town, but with Abby I felt more comfortable. I will be rebooking again when I need to go out of town.”


“Stephanie was amazing with my dogs! I have a senior dog who has a lot of special needs, as well as two younger dogs who need exercise and play time. She did a great job with them! She kept me posted about things. I totally trusted her with my dogs. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”


“Miranda did a great job with my crazy pup Stella! So glad to have found someone comfortable with watching her! We'll definitely be using her again!🩷🩷🐾”


“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”


About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs since I was 14. I’ve given medicine, gone for needed late night walks, and have a flexible schedule that can work around your pets’ needs! I work from home, so my schedule can adjust as needed. There is the occasional in-person meeting, but I’m almost never gone more than 4 hours and will know in advance so we can figure out a proper solution. My work has usually included the basics of pet-care such as feeding them, taking them outside, and giving them proper attention. On occasion I’ve given medicine, helped stay consistent with basic training, and am more than willing to stay overnight.

“We have used Ben's services for a few years now. Ben is very reliable, dependable and responsive. We know that our boys are well cared for when Ben is with them and he is our preferred dog sitter whenever we go away.”


“Josh is wonderful! I am a repeat customer and will always contact him if I need a sitter. My dog found himself in a bad way after chasing our squirrels. Josh was able to handle the situation in an expedient and responsible manner. He needed stitches and meds and extra care before I was able to get home. I was very confident in all of his abilities. He really went above and beyond! He communicated all information from the vet and cared for him very lovingly.”


“Jen is an awesome sitter and always does more than expected. Our Westie is diabetic and has a pacemaker so he needs special care. Jen did not hesitate giving him shots and carrying him in and out. Jen took out the trash, picked up the yard, watered the plants and washed /dried her sheets. Contact Jen and see for yourself!”


“Lauren did a great job taking care of our house and our anxious dog! We also really appreciate her fitting us in on short notice and being flexible with her schedule.”


“This is like the fourth time we’ve booked with Jordan! She is amazing. So responsible and caring and loving of our pets. We’ll book with her as long as she’s available!”


“Ladonna is a great communicator and consistently keeps you updated throughout watching your pet. You can tell our dog had an amazing experience through her updates and their happiness upon arriving home. Ladonna makes sure to ask all the right questions while being a positive person your pet will love to be around.”


“Everything with my house and dog sitting went well. He made a connection with our dog who loves him, and provided medicine twice daily. Kuma left the house in better contition than when we left. He communicates well. I would use Kuma again.”


“We can't say enough how much we appreciate having Taylor take care of our dogs when we have to travel. Our newest rescue, Lila, who is afraid of everyone, accepts Taylor right away and hangs out with her on the couch. We know that our pups are on good hands whenever we leave.”


About: I just finished my freshman year at Purdue University majoring in animal sciences. I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs and cats. This includes large dogs, small dogs, old dogs, and puppies from a variety of breeds. I also own 2 cats. I am a prior high school wrestler, so I'm confident in my strength to handle and walk large dogs. As my mom says we’re the “designated dog sitters” for our neighborhood. I’ve been watching, walking, feeding and taking care of dogs since I was little I am home from college. I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week till August 8th. I also am available for overnights. I have 2 cats. They are comfortable around other animals as they have been exposed to many different cat and dog breed from my past pet sitting services. I understand the importance of providing care for pets according to their owners’ instructions to ensure the specific needs and routines of the animals are met.

About: I've cared for numerous pets throughout my life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and fish! I've also pet-sat for friends, family, and their acquaintances, taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and even giving them medication when needed. Dog walking fits perfectly into my schedule since I work until 3 p.m. on weekdays and have weekends completely free. This gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need. I genuinely love all dogs and enjoy spending time outdoors with them, whether it’s a playful walk around the neighborhood or a calm stroll through the park. Being around dogs is something that brings me joy, and with my flexible schedule, I’m able to be reliable and consistent in making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for!
