“Kristina was fantastic, did everything I requested and made sure my house was safe and locked up after every visit. She also spent time getting my timid cat to warm up to her. Definitely will request again when I travel! Thank you!”
“Everything went perfect. Answered all questions and messages very quickly. Did everything we asked and showed up on time everyday. We will definitely book again. Thanks again.”
About: I have always lived in a multi-animal household. I was raised by two animal lovers, and have had the honor of caring for several cats and dogs until their final days. Currently, I have a 3 year old, 11 year old, and 13 year old cat and two 11 year old dogs. I have also been pet sitting for neighbors since 2021, and been a foster since 2025. I am patient and willing to give your pet any special attention they may need due to age, a medical condition, or fear/behavioral issues. I do want you to know that if your dog likes to go on a lot of walks, I’m unfortunately not the sitter for you. I have a mobility disability. I am happy to play with your dog with their toys or supervise them as they run around your yard, but I am not able to take them on walks to get their energy out. But if you have a puppy that likes to “wrassle” or rough-house a little, that I’m happy to do! I’m a work-from-home (or wherever there’s internet) attorney. I may need to leave for like half the day to attend a hearing or a mediation. But besides that, I can’t think of any foreseeable reason I’d have to leave your pet alone for more than six hours. I am very willing to take things slow and work at your pet’s pace. I do not have any specialized training, but I have worked with dogs and cats with past trauma. I have laid on the ground for three hours just to show a dog I’m not a threat and they can approach me. And she eventually did, and the rest of the week went great. I am also willing to visit your house, possibly multiple times, to meet your pet and allow them to get comfortable with me before your travel.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I am never aggressive with animals but I am strong and athletic if you’re pet has a lot of energy. I currently work as a personal trainer so my hours are flexible depending on when I have clients. My schedule is more open than usual right now. I always make sure the pets have fresh water and are able to enjoy their walks as their time. I understand the importance of being consistent with pets so I always keep up with the owners specific preferences.
“Janis went above and beyond checking on our cats while we were out of town. She even made sure to check on our cat who is afraid of strangers to make sure she was well. Even when she walked into a stressful incident with one of our cats, she was able to address it and calm him down. I really appreciated all the love and attention she shared with our cats. I also enjoyed all the photos and detailed notes when she stopped by. We knew Janis was a perfect fit upon our first meeting. My son said as she left : you can tell she is a good person who loves animals. I couldn't agree more.”
“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.”
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 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.
“Natalie went above and beyond taking care of my two kitties. One is old and I worry about but I didn’t have to with her coming by. She also took care to clean up his messes which was not requested! Will definitely recommend.”
About: I absolutely adore being around animals. I started working in a vet and got a ton of great hands on experience. That means Ive seen it all. Dogs that are shy, hyper, scared, aggressive, happy, they come in all shapes and sizes. One thing I’ve noticed in dog care is they all need patience, and I’ve got a lot of that when it comes to those furry, tail wagging babies. Now, I’d like to take that experience into dog walking/sitting. I’ve grown up having 4 dogs at a time of all breeds ranging from Dochsund to a giant Doberman. I currently have a 5 year old pup named Darla, a Doberman puppy named Stella, and a little kitty named Ace. I look forward to giving your pet/pets lots of love and a healthy, active day while your away! I work from home. I will not be available all hours of the day, but daily drop in visits for a walk or weekend visits would fit just fine with my schedule. I like to enjoy outside or backyard play if accepted at your home. If there is not a fenced yard, we can enjoy the smells of the neighborhood on a nice walk!
“Amanda was awesome with my high maintenance mastiff! She keeps me informed on how my dog is doing and she sends lots of pictures. When I had to book extra visits last minute due to my mother’s death, she didn’t hesitate to help me.”
About: I have been responsible for dogs for most of my life. I absolutely LOVE dogs. I have loved and cared for every breed of dog from a 4 lb teacup chihuahua to my now 80+ lb St. berdoodle, Luca. I currently work from home, so I’ll always be with your fur baby, and my Luca. I have the flexibility to potty breaks as needed and can accommodate just about any routine needed to make your dogs stay comfortable! I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a screened in porch, Luca and I hang out on the porch pretty often to get the fresh air he loves. Potty breaks will all be leashed, and weather permitting we can walk down to the dog park for some additional fun! Luca has been coined the “gentle giant” from his sitter we met from Rover. He will tire your dog out wanting to play, but no fear, nothing but nice, just LOVES to run and play - with any size friends!
About: I have had pets my entire life. From dogs and cats, to reptiles, fish and rodents! I’m very good at training. I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, starting with an elderly ladies puppy cocker spaniel. I’m also very patient, and I love activities like walking, and playing. I currently have mornings from 6am-4pm available. I have night classes from 5pm-11pm Monday-Thursday. My weekends are available with open availability being Friday-Sunday I have a fenced in yard, with one dog, one cat, and one Betta! We have a feeding schedule, we take walks, and so mentally stimulating activities such as training and puzzles
“Words cannot express how thankful I am to have Kari and Clint watching my fur babies! The love they show to my boys is evident not only in how my boys react to them but also in how they are cared for. Both of my dogs are happy clean and relaxed! This makes this mamma very happy and comfortable knowing I can leave them and they will be safe. I am again so thankful for finding them to care for my fur babies! ❤️”

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 New Palestine 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Palestine. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
