“Krissy did a fantastic job with our sweet Grayson. She was very attentive, sent us pics each day and even brought up a concern about Grayson not using the litter box. I would highly recommend her to anyone with pets, especially cats as I am biased in that way. We will use her again and again and again.”

About: IVDD experienced dachshund mom with hands on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a part time job and flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm and structured care that closely follow a dog's existing routine. I do use crate training with positive reinforcement when I have to leave the house. I offer IVDD safe handling, walks, interactive play, and will send you 2 updates per day with photos while you're away.
“We needed help with our dogs last minute due to a wedding. Nicole was absolutely awesome! She was quick to respond and took great care of our pups! Would highly recommend.”

“Natalie was EXCELLENT in her communication - from the very first time we reached out to her through every day of our time away. She was thorough in knowing our senior dog’s needs, and she went above & beyond in his care. We would use Natalie’s services again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Natalie!”
About: I work from home Monday - Friday so your lovable friend will be consistently monitored, I have a two story home with three bedrooms however it’s just my husband and I with our three cats so lots of space, I also have a fenced in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood in Cumberland Indiana if your pet needs to be walked. ☺️ I’ve had several years of hands-on experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, including shy, independent, high-energy, and more strong-willed (‘spicy’) temperaments. My experience comes from raising and caring for my own three cats, each with very different needs and behaviors. I’ve worked closely with rescue cats and understand the patience and consistency required to help them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’m very attentive to body language and behavioral cues, which allows me to adjust my care style to each pet’s comfort level. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment. I have the ability to separate pets if needed, making it ideal for animals who are shy, anxious, or prefer their own space. I prioritize cleanliness, routine, and safety at all times. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets throughout the day. I have several automatic feeders and scheduled wet food times, along with fresh water bowls, so meals are always on time. My husband also comes home at the same time each day, providing extra hands and supervision to ensure pets feel safe and attended to. Our home has a predictable routine, which helps cats feel comfortable and secure. I’m able to adjust playtime, attention, or quiet time to match each pet’s personality, whether they prefer independent relaxation or interactive enrichment. My home is a calm, secure space for pets, located in a safe neighborhood. It’s just my husband, our three cats, and me—no kids—so the environment is quiet and low-traffic. I have multiple rooms available to help cats adjust comfortably, so shy or independent pets can have their own space, while those who enjoy company can stay nearby in my home office while I work. Caring for my own three cats gives me firsthand experience with multi-cat dynamics, and I know how to manage interactions to ensure all pets feel safe and stress-free. I maintain a clean, structured environment with consistent routines, monitored feeding and hydration, and lots of attention to comfort and enrichment. Whether your pet needs quiet personal space or friendly companionship, I tailor their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and love them deeply. I volunteered with a cat rescue for 5 years, and last year started volunteering with a pitbull rescue, including doggy days out, events, and fostering. I wake up around 8am and feed my cat before letting my dogs out in the backyard for a potty break and to run around for a bit. I feed them and let them in to eat, and then play with them periodically while I work, and let them outside every two hours or so. If work allows, I take them for a midday walk as well. In the evening we hang out on the couch while I read or watch a show, and then they are crated for bedtime until we wake up. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to play with. Both are happily crated at bedtime or when we leave the house.
About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.

“Autumn was great with Cash! She did a quick meet and greet to meet him as well as learn where things were located and his habits. She spent much needed time with him and helped make Cash a new friend!”

“Kylie did. Great job looking after our shy kitties for 10 days. Knew just how to approach them so one even came out to socialize ! We were very happy knowing they were being so well cared for.”

About: We love all kinds of animals and have been a rescue family for years! Both my husband and I have always had pets and have been a safe home for neglected or abandoned dogs We work from home and can give all the love and attention deserved!! Our dogs and rabbits have a dependable schedule and are crate trained We provide an enriching fun safe environment for our dog and rabbits. We have an invisible fence but our dogs never wear their collars now that they know to stay in the yard. They love walks and romping in our wooded yard
“Kari learned Maverick & Milo’s favorite dog walking route and even brought her pup Romeo over to play. We feel so at ease knowing she’s looking after our boys when we are away!”

About: Your fur-baby/babies will receive my one on one care throughout their stay. Summertime is a very busy time for dog sitting, so I may have more than one family at a time, but typically I try to book one family at a time. If you prefer just your family’s fur baby to be watched during their stay, please let me know and I will work with you or let you know if I have another family booked during your requested time/times. I have over 20 years of experience with many different dogs, all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have many years experience fostering and rescuing dogs. I have experience giving medication to many different dogs, (even the stubborn ones) working on potty training with puppies and adult dogs, as well as crate training. I work 630-3 daily, so your fur baby can be let out and fed first thing in the morning and let out again early afternoon. I leave a TV on for noise and ensure everyone is comfortable for the day. Your animal’s care is my top priority. I am well versed in watching dogs body language and social cues. I ensure everyone is safe by feeding everyone separately, including my own dogs. Many fur-babies enjoy visiting our home, playing with toys, enjoying treats ( allergy friendly of course) visiting and playing with our dogs and cats, running around our fenced yard, receiving all the pets/scratches/belly rubs, and all of the love and snuggles to make them feel at home. I have experience administering meds, dealing with allergies ( my lab mix is allergic to the world and has to be fed ONLY her prescription food), puppy play and potty training, very active younger dogs, as well as older dogs who may need a little more care or help throughout their stay. I am very patient with anxious, nervous, and shy dogs. I work with your pet when they are anxious whether it’s sitting in a quiet room one on one to ensure they eat, providing their own space when needed, or working on building trust with me in general. I am not a professional trainer, but I have a lot of experience working with a lot of different situations.
“Travis was absolutely amazing! Our rover canceled last minute and he was able to help us with no problem! He was very communicative and did so well with our Gunner boy. We’ll definitely be using him from here on out! Thank you Travis”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,306 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Palestine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
