“Jennifer was amazing with my two cats. My cats have very different personalities, one is extremely outgoing and friendly, and the other is sweet but very shy. She worked with both to make sure they were healthy and taken care of without making my shy girl too nervous. And she provided plenty of photos!”
“Did an absolutely amazing job. I will not be going anywhere else!!!”
“Alice has come and taken care of my little guy 8 times now, and every time has been phenomenal! If you need someone to do house visits for your cat, Alice is the right choice!”
“Kyla was great! She helped out last minute and was very sweet with our dogs. She kept in communication and gave me updates.”
“Very communicative and helpful”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 16! My goal when I pet sit for you is to leave your pet feeling well loved and your house better than I found it! As a dog and cat owner myself I know how important it is for our furry friends to be well taken care of! I work during the afternoons so I would be available during the mornings and evenings to be with your pet! Weekends are very flexible for me as well! I always make sure to go outside with the dog even if the yard is fenced to make sure they are safe! I want to make sure I follow what you want for your pet especially since that’s what they are used to.
“Elioenia was INCREDIBLE! She took us on with very short notice and was everything I could have hoped. Very communicative, an absolute pleasure to work with, and everything is perfect. She even brought in packages and pulled the trash cans up. The biggest thing though- the first night we were away there were some nervous stomachs apparently and our big dog had a very big, nasty accident on the carpet. If I didn’t know about it, I wouldn’t be able to find the spot. She cleaned it all up and shampooed that area. WAY above and beyond what could ever be expected and I don’t know what I could possibly say that would express my gratitude fully. Thank you, thank you, thank you Elioenia 🙏🏻.”
About: Howdy! My name is Jordan, I'm a reliable pet sitter who understands that every dog has their own personality and pace when it comes to bonds. While I’ve mostly cared for family pets, I’ve yet to meet a dog I couldn’t establish companionship with. Whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging with them in ways they’re comfortable with. I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I'm juggling multiple freelancing gigs to create a stable income. My project-based work gives me a flexible schedule, though I usually spend Saturdays visiting friends for a couple hours. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I respect each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging them in play. Many dogs deserve more activity than they typically get, so I’m always happy to include playtime, whether it’s a game of fetch, light tug-of-war, or just some extra attention and interaction. When we’re not playing, I’m just as happy to relax and offer cuddles for dogs who enjoy affection. No matter their energy level, I aim to make their time with me feel fun, safe, and stress-free.
“Taylor was awesome! I started a new job and had to travel to Indianapolis everyday from Fort Wayne for training at our corporate office. She took care of my best friend, Max. He is my dog, and means the world to me. He was in great hands with Taylor. She is the best! I will use her for any dog sitting going forward, because my sales schedule is very busy. I highly recommend her to everyone that needs a high quality pet sitter for their animals. Thanks again, Taylor! 😊”
“Samantha is such a great cat sitter, Tako is so lucky! Her updates are great, and communication and visits are top notch. We would definitely work with her again.”
“Madison took very good care of my three cats for a week while I was gone on vacation. Madison gave my one cat Meds even though Mittens resisted at first. She sent lots of pictures and left the house looking just as I left it. Cat boxes cleaned, food dishes full. I will have Madison watch my fur babies again.”
About: I have a calm and peaceful presence that animals respond to almost immediately. You have seen it, some people just seem to be gifted at calming animals down when no one else can. I am delighted to say animals and I just seem to understand each other. I have a genuine love for all animals and they can feel this. This is especially true with dogs, horses, cats, and tame birds. I've never had a time when I didn't have animals, and I'd be delighted to care for yours like my own. I prefer to meet with you and your pets before your scheduled appointment so that you don't feel like you're leaving your animals and house with a stranger and so your animals and I get to meet prior to you leaving them in my care, so that we can help release any sense of abandonment issues they may have. I work a 9-5 job during the week, but I am able to leave and visit your home as needed for potty breaks and to provide lots of love and attention. I only watch pets in your home, so they know that you are only temporarily away and they still feel safe and secure in their own environment. My hope is this also helps you feel separation anxiety a little less, knowing your pets are happy and frolicking in an environment that you are very familiar with. I want you to enjoy your time away, knowing your pets and house are well loved and cared for. This includes me taking care of your house, plants, mail, putting the trash bins out, doing potty patrol of the yard and cleaning the litter box. I'm very detail oriented and follow instructions well. I do my very best to give you your house better than you left it and to remove all traces of me having been there, so you don't have to come home and worry about cleaning up. I understand what it is like to have to leave your pets behind and will contact you with pictures as often as you would like, so you know everything is going fine! Every pet is different and wonderful and I adapt to each and everyone's needs. If this includes them sleeping beside me or me waking up every two hours for a potty break, then you can know that is what is being done. I have been a house and pet sitter for many years, but have only recently started offering my services on Rover. I have undergone an extensive background check so you can know your pets and belongings are safe in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets to make sure we are a great fit together!
About: I have a HUGE heart for animals! 💗 I treat ALL pets like family! I’ve had a lot of different animals growing up such as Cats, Dogs, Turtles, Fish, Frogs and Rabbits. I’ve had so much experience with those animals. Since I was a kid I would sit my uncles 3 dogs when he’d go away on trips as well as his fish. I also have another uncle who has a dog & I sit & take care of him from time to time. I’ve also sat my friends & mom’s pets as well. I currently have 3 cats, Mocha, Ginger & Honey. I also have a Turtle named Bonzai, they are my absolute heart & my babies. I’d love to be apart of your fur babies lives as well! I am very flexible!

About: I’ve always had animals, and I love to care for them! I will always treat your babies like my own and make sure all of their needs are met. I know how worrisome it can be leaving your animals, so I will always provide updates and pictures! I work a full time job as a nurse, but I do home care, giving me a flexible schedule and allowing me to make time in my day to care for my own pets as well as yours! I currently have one dog in my home and 3 cats. I have an unfenced back yard, but a big patio with a sliding glass door so I am always watching when I let my dog out! She loves to make new friends and loves to play with other dogs! I also have a crate I can use if needed, and plenty of toys your dog can play with
