“Our dog Zeus ran up to Steve like they were long lost friends. We were worried as we only rescued him a couple weeks ago that he met not acclimate very easily and were very excited to see Steve build such a relationship with him off the get go. Zeus came back home happy, healthy, and excited after staying with Steve and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible sitter for their beloved pets. Steve was extremely kind, professional and personable and let us know how Zeus was doing at the house. Thank you and we'll be sure to book with you anytime we need a sitter!”
“Aurora was very sweet and caring for my Luna, she took Luna in at a very short notice, and was even able to drop her off early ahead of her drop off time which helped me tremendously since I was in the process of moving. Luna was groomed and I received updated pictures of Luna. I would definitely book again in the future!”
About: I grew up around untrained dogs, not afraid of any animal. I had two cats of my own and raised them from kittens so I’m great with cats!! I am nice and patient and have never been one for caging in animals unless it’s to travel to appointments, so your little loved ones will always be free to wander with me. I like to give them freedom to explore. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I like to play a lot and encourage activities. I try to put on interactive games and toys are highly encouraged to bring! I do freelance work so if I’m pet sitting your baby will be the number one priority! Open space apartment, I like to be outside a lot so I will spend a majority of time allowing your pet to be free and safe if they’re an outside animal. We have local shops within a mile that allow cats so if you’re open, I can allow your pet to go for outdoor time.
“This was the best Rover experience I have had. They have plenty of room for animals. They have a great yard and they have a great skills with dogs as well. My puppy had an amazing time staying while we were out of town. She already misses the other puppies. There a 10 out of 10 experience will definitely be booking again.”
About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! Born and raised on a farm. I’ve always had dogs and cats to love and many other small animals! I plan to own my own kennel in the future. We have 4 animal loving kids as well! I work part time at a salon so my schedule is pretty flexible as long as there is advanced planning and I’ll do my best to keep your pets current schedule. I have a huge fenced in yard where our dogs can play during the day. We have a mudroom attached to the house where crates are kept. And well-behaved dogs are welcome to come inside!
“Katia was very helpful. Her home was clean and her dogs and kitten seemed to do well with Connor. Connor chewed his leash in two and Katia went and bought another and said we did not need to pay her back for the cost. Of course we did though. We would recommend Katia.”
“Kylie was great. She was responsive to messages and friendly. My dog lives her. I am not certain she was ready to come home. Kylie sent pictures and even a video while my dog was in her care. Thanks, Kylie!”
“John took excellent care of Ginger for a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday. She does have a bit of separation anxiety but he made sure she got plenty of attention. Sent us pictures and reports throughout her visit.”
“Alexis was fantastic with Bentley! He can be anxious when away from home, but he always seemed relaxed and happy in the daily updates I would get. He even let Alexis trim his nails, which he seldom does with anyone!”
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
“We had a great experience! They took excellent care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. We really appreciated the regular messages and the pictures they sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care, and we will gladly use their services again in the future!”
“Kept me up to date on how my dog was doing while we were out of the country for a couple of weeks, and took good care of my senior dog while we were away. Would definitely recommend.”
“Indy and Lex loved staying with Gerard! They were very comfortable with him and settled into their routine without issues. He was reliable, easy to communicate with, and treated them like his own! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maddlyn took such great care of my cats and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Cats can be difficult to care for since they often take longer to adjust to new people, but she was incredibly patient and understanding the entire time. If you're looking for a local, affordable, and trustworthy pet sitter, I highly recommend booking with Maddlyn. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and Julie and I couldn't have been more pleased!! We did a meet and greet and she was just a joy and our pup loved her. She took care our of Goldendoodle like it was her own. She sent a few update pictures and was super responsive. I would definitely recommend Julie and will use her for future vacations!”

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 Matthews home-away-from-home, 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 Matthews.
<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 Matthews 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 , 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 .
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.
