About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!

About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well.

“Jessica was great with our Hazel! Hazel gets a bit nervous around new people, but Jessica took the time to make her as comfortable as possible. Thanks to Jessica we were able to enjoy a weekend away worry free!”
About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mingo Junction
Kandis did an amazing job at taking care of our dogs Theo and Bama. She played with them, groomed them, and provided us with plenty of pictures and videos, that it felt like we were still with our fur babies. If you need a pet sitter we highly recommend Kandis!
Kandis was phenomenal! She came for a meet & greet the day before and was beyond patient with our 7 month old puppy that is beyond energetic. She kept me updated with both of our dog and provided photos through the app. We will most definitely be booking with her again- thank you so much for helping our family & loving our pups while we were gone!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mingo Junction is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $19 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,284 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mingo Junction. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
