I always feel guilty leaving my pup with others because I know she’s used to a lot of attention and specialized care that I provide, but Christian was able to provide frequent updates and followed all of my extra instructions. Thanks for taking care of my puppy and going above and beyond!!!”

“Alexis was absolutely wonderful. We scheduled a meet&greet before hand so we were both comfortable and answered any questions I had. Alexis was fast and reliable with communication—answering all my messages very quickly. She gave us plenty of updates throughout the weekend with pictures as well. My boy has bad separation anxiety and Alexis was wonderful with ensuring he wasn’t alone and was comfortable the whole time. Alexis is a wonderful resource for us and we plan to use her again in the future! Thank you so much!”

“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”

About: I grew up around cats and dogs. I’ve had two rescue dogs so far, and I have prior shelter experience. Special skills: training young pets, separation anxiety, oral/topical medication, senior care I work remotely so pups would be at home with someone at all times and would have access to frequent potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced yard and one other dog who is very gentle and sweet so she would keep them company and go on walks with them!

“We have used Tino to watch our dog, Oscar a few times. Tino is great with communication, taking walks and sending pictures. Oscar feels very comfortable when we walk in which is a very good sign that he is happy in his home. His family is also loving to Oscar and gives him positive attention. Based on our experience this past year, I feel confident to recommend Tino.”

About: Growing up, my dog Roxy was one of my best friends. That’s the root of my love of our four legged friends. I’ve also cherished opportunities I’ve had to take care of my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years as well. Whether it’s just been for walks around the block or dog sitting for weeks at a time, I’ve been a trusted source of canine companionship. In addition to these experiences, my work as an RN has given me confidence and a level headed mindset when dealing with stressful and difficult situations. Big dogs, small dogs, doesn’t matter I just want to be your dogs new best friend! I’m currently working a flexible schedule which allows me to take time for your pet! Depending on the day I’ll be avail as morning, noon or night and am free most weekends! I live in a pet friendly home with a fenced in backyard and plenty of space to run around! Whatever your pets needs are I’m happy to accommodate!

“Once again we had trip out of the country. As we have other times in past, we relied on Sonya and her family to take care of McCarty (a 80 lbs golden doodle). Once again, Sonya kept us updated with photos, most important to our 2 year old daughter who looked for assurance that her best bud was well. I highly recommend Sonya to take great care of your best bud!”

We had a great experience with Serena and her family while our dog, Stella, stayed with them for eight days. From the start, it was clear Stella was in a warm and welcoming environment, and she quickly settled right in. Serena and her family were incredibly kind and gracious, and it really showed in how happy and comfortable Stella was during her stay. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for and treated like part of the family. One of the highlights was that Stella even came home having learned a few new tricks! It’s obvious that Serena goes above and beyond, not just looking after the dogs but actually spending quality time with them. We’re very grateful for the care Stella received and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Serena again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Chicago home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your New Chicago.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your New Chicago sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

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.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
