About: Hi! My name is Bree, and I am a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to help care for your pets while you're away. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. Currently, our family shares our home with a dog, a cat, and a flock of chickens, so I am comfortable caring for a variety of animals and understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive care. My husband and I live in Zionsville with our three children, and we stay actively involved in our community. I work at our local middle school during the school year and have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer extensively with my children's activities. I serve as the treasurer for my daughter's club soccer team, help my husband run our youth lacrosse program, and enjoy participating with my son in Boy Scouts. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, or a walk, I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am on summer break from our local middle school where I work during the school year. I am available Monday thru Fridays, morning/afternoon/evenings, and occasionally on weekends. I am available for daily drop-in visits and check-ins to feed, walk, play with, and give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet needs a potty break, exercise, playtime, fresh water and food, or simply a friendly visit while you're away, I am happy to help.

Dogs adore her and us too. Highly, highly recommend Kadia’s service and me personally would trust my dogs and my house only to her. Thank you, Kadia!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was just 6 years old—whether it was my own pup or a neighbor’s. That early experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different personalities in dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with puppies who need consistency and training, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy every time we’re together. As a full-time student, I’ve built my schedule to make plenty of room for pet care. I’m available on weekdays after 5 PM, which is perfect for evening walks or playtime. Fridays I’m completely free in both the morning and evening, and I’m totally available on weekends. This flexibility allows me to give your pets the time, energy, and attention they deserve—whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routines, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. I always double-check doors, leashes, and gates to ensure pets stay safe. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect as I do my own.

About: *** In MOST cases, I NEED to bring my dog with me for overnight stays. Please take that into consideration BEFORE you reach out to me. If you just need day time care I can be a bit more flexible on the above. Thank you for understanding. *** :) I love animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. Your animals will be well cared for when I watch them. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own- an almost 3 year old German Shepherd-who would have to come with me while I sit for you. I know our pups will have tons of fun playing together! My goal is to try and treat your pets like my own. I will make pets feel cared for and loved, even when their owners are not there. I work 6-4, Monday-Thursday. Monday is a work from home day and the rest of the week I’m in the office. (some flexibility on this, as I could stay home to work while dog sitting) I’d be happy to watch dogs during this time, but they will be long days if I can’t stay home. Because of this, the weekends are the best times for me to take care of pets, but I’d be happy to watch pets during the week if needed. I want to be there for your dogs needs. I’d be happy to accommodate any way I can. I make sure pups have adequate daily exercise, anything from parks, walks around the neighborhood, running in the backyard or playtime in general. I want you dogs to feel comfortable and safe in my care

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mertztown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
