“Janelle did a wonderful job with Merry. After I got home I swear Merry kept looking for Janelle too! Merry was happy, healthy, and well fed. She is a lover and from the photos Janelle sent, Merry got lots of loving!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.
“We had a pretty scary event happen with one of our dogs, but Casey was wonderful and made sure he was okay, and kept us informed the whole time. We really appreciated her being there and trusted that she would take the best possible care of our dogs”
“Madison was a careful, consistent and knowledgeable sitter for my cats! Loved how much she knew about cat needs and behaviors, her thorough updates, and her clear love for animals. We’re moving and will miss her!”
“Heather checked in on my cat once a day, for a total of 9 days while I was out the country. She made me feel at ease knowing everything back home was okay. My cat quickly came out his shell and was playful and talkative with her which let me know he was comfortable and content with her. I appreciate her and would definitely consider using again in the future. So I absolutely would recommend her to others.. Thanks again Heather, was a pleasure meeting and having you.”
“Jamie was awesome. She took great care of my lab during her visits, sent me pictures and even cleaned up after him. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip so much more knowing he was well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Was very nervous about leaving my pets with an unknown person. Day 1 of meeting Lydia and introducing her to Sweetie and Lil Shit, my worries went away. Sweetie took to Lydia right away. When she came to get key before we left, Sweetie was so happy to see her again. Lil Shit is a cat, and has no opinion, lol! Will book her again”
“First time using Rover and Ruth was amazing! Took great care of our dog and her communication was great. We definitely felt at ease having her stop by to take care of him. Will be rebooking with her next time we need it!”
“My girls didn't even bark the first time they met Christina. They knew she was a good safe person. They get happy and calm every time she walks in. She is on time and they're good and tired when they return from their walks.”
“Michaela was amazing with our 3 guinea pigs. She sent so many photos, and very detailed updates during her time with the piggies. She was very sweet! She did everything I asked, plus gave them some treats while we were gone. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again Michaela.”
“Raquel did everything asked of her and then some. She was super easy to work with, made sure Winnie had plenty of time to go potty/ eat and took sooo many great photos of her during her visit! Thanks, Raquel!”
“Mariah is really great. I'm really glad I found out about Rover and about Mariah. It makes it easy for me to take fun little trips without having to worry about my pet while I'm gone.”
“Syd always does a great job with my senior pup. I worry about leaving him as he suffers from cataracts and dementia, but Syd always takes good care of him and keeps me updated with pics and texts. It’s such a relief to know she is there with him!”
“I have an “older grumpy “ dog that doesn’t play well with others. Lindsay has been taking care of him for 5 months. She does great with him and I have peace of mind knowing she’ll are for him!!! Great job and very easy to work with!!”
“Shannon was great with our one-year old puppy. She was very responsive and took the time to get to know us and our dog before staying with her. Shannon was very friendly and asked questions about our dogs temperament, allergies, medications, etc. She was very detailed and came prepared with a notebook and treats for our pup. She sent photo and text updates and our dog had a great time with her. I’d highly recommend Shannon, she is friendly, trustworthy, and caring and she clearly loves dogs and sees them as part of your family.”

She is a great sitter and person! She came through last minute and I got really good vibes from the meet and greet which put us at ease leaving our babies and home in her care. She also had no issue caring for our hamster in addition to the 3 cats. She took care of everything while we were gone and went above and beyond. The power went out during our trip and I told her to forego the strawberry treat for the hamster to hold the cold in the fridg. She was so thoughtful to surprise her with bringing one from home! She has an energy animals must gravitate towards bc my dog who normally barks a long time when people come over before settling down barely barked when she arrived and the rehabbed feral cat who always hides from strangers even showed herself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashlee!
Ms. Lauren seems to be new to Rover, but is destined for top billing in Michiana. She was chosen for the convenience of proximity to our drop-in visit home, and turned out to be as outstanding and conscientious as it's possible to be. We've had four Rover visitors over 4 years and two homes, and we say without hesitation that Lauren is the best. Better snap her up before her schedule fills!
Kennedy was incredibly accommodating and communicative during a week that had some unexpected logistical hurdles. Even with a delay in house access on my end, she made sure my three cats were well-cared for, spending extra time with them once she could get inside. The photo updates were great and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mishawaka stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
