“Michael took such great care of Sierra! He went above and beyond to make sure she was completely comfortable, and the daily updates and photos he provided gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals, and Sierra absolutely adored him. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter, and will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: My name is Toria Biggs, and I'm thrilled to offer my pet sitting services on Rover. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that your furry friends are more than just pets. Throughout my life, I've had the joy of sharing my home with several amazing pups and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've been dog-sitting and taking care of furry friends for neighbors, friends, and families for over 10 years. As a full-time teacher, I’m available for pet care before school (6:00–9:15 AM), after school (4:45–10:00 PM), and on weekends. I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, or evening sitting during the week, and have more flexibility for extended care over the weekend and summer/ holidays. I'll shower your furry friend with affection, cater to their individual needs, and provide a nurturing environment that feels like a home away from home.
“I was so anxious about leaving Lucy overnight with someone new. Oliver really seemed to understand and appreciate that. I got nice photos of Lucy hanging out and when I picked her up they invited her back even though she stole a hamburger. Oilver did a great job with Lucy who tends to be scared of new people but I could tell Lucy got great outside time, played with other dogs and was tired when she got home. I Wil Def. Recommend and bring Lucy back when I need someone again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was 8 years old. I used to talk dogs to raise money for donations. I have done boarding in the past for friends ad family. I have several pets. Two large dogs, cats and birds. I am looking for a change in my life. I am moving back to the town i grew up in and currently work as a home health aide. I have grown up in a family where I have had large dogs, cats ad birds. I feel my home is not complete with out pets. I do anything possible to make sure they are taken care of.
About: I have had my own dog for 14 years and walked neighbors dogs when I was growing up. Helped walk/watch friends dogs throughout college when they would be traveling. I work each week day but can watch/walk a dog morning, Lunch time, and post work. I also work close to home and can come let them out multiple times. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of grass that my dog loves playing fetch and taking a nap in the sun during the summer
“I appreciate Abigail accepting my booking and consistently communicating with me regarding my boy Archie. She sent me updates and pictures and actually spending time with him. She accommodated a last minute schedule change and was very kind in that exchange as well. I already expressed that I would love to use her again whenever we need another sitter.”
“We would highly recommend Lynne! We left our pup with her for a three day weekend and everything was great. She would send us periodic updates and pictures of our dog playing with her two dogs...I think they all became best friends! Lynne is very thorough and prompt to reply. We would not hesitate to use her again should the need arise. Thank you Lynne!”
“Mark did a fantastic job with max! My 100 LB German shepherd/Bernie’s mt dog. He took very good care of him, played/walked/ran with him, and sent me updates throughout the whole weekend, and max came back home very happy! Max even gave mark a big hug before we left his house when picking him up. I will defiantly be using mark again In the future, and recommend him to all my friends who have dogs.”
“She took on my old pup for a 10 day stay with no issues. When our planes got cancelled and then delayed she extended the stay with no issue which gave us one last thing to worry about. So glad to have someone that was sweet with my pup.”
“Shelby has a love for dogs where you need not worry about your fur-baby in her care. She opened her home and her heart to our little dog. The pictures she sent during our away time, let us know that JoJo was content and happy. Administering his medication was no problem for Shelby. As an added bonus, she had washed his bowls and laundered his blanket and packed ready for pickup. We sincerely recommend Shelby’s home for your dog’s vacation while you are away!”
About: Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded with pets and been given the opportunity to care for dogs numerous times. I am very patient with animals and genuinely find joy spending my time with them. After recently graduating from college and moving into a studio apartment, it has been an adjustment not being surrounded by pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to not only help others, but also to find fulfillment spending time with pets. Although I work a 9-5, I am willing to make plenty of time before or after work to accommodate your needs. I am a morning person, so I would be more than happy to take your dog on an early morning walk or be there to let them out. I also will be able to take care of them in the afternoon. My weekends are free to help at any time. You can trust me with your pet because I treat animals with the same amount of respect that I’d treat any person. It is my priority to ensure their safety while also having fun. I would love to take them on walks at the park and am open to having them at my apartment if needed.
“She was great! She always sent us photos of our dog and let us know how he was doing! Our dog had the best time staying with her! Would definitely rebook!”
“Meg and her family loved and cared for our pups just like they were their own. She sent at least one picture everyday. Her dog, Bubba, was a great friend to our dogs. We will definitely be using their services again!”
“This was our first time using this service and we were extremely pleased with Marissa. I think Charlie has now found a home away from home whenever we go out of town again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Albany
Melissa and Andrew were great taking care of Tessa. They accepted the booking in short notice during a busy period. They made it easy to schedule a meet and greet before the booking, and the entire family seemed to love Tessa immediately. They had great communication before and during the sitting, and sent pictures of Tessa enjoying her time with them. When I picked Tessa up, she was in a great mood, and seemed to have had a great time there.
A couple of weeks ago, I had to leave town for two weeks due to work, and I had my sitter at the time cancel the day before I was set to leave town. I had never used Rover before, but I found Melissa and Jonathan on the app at the last minute and decided to give it a try. Despite the short notice, they immediately agreed to a meet-and-greet that same night before I had to leave. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and understanding from the very beginning. Their space was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for my pet’s needs. Throughout the entire stay, they kept in touch with me on a daily basis by sending updates and pictures, and they were always quick to let me know if they had any concerns. I am very grateful that I was able to trust them with my pet, especially on such short notice and I would happily have them care for my pet again in the future. They are a hardworking, wonderful, and loving family, and I highly recommend them!

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
