“We had a last minute plans change and needed someone last minute, and we had used Kristina previously so we were excited to see she was available. She is great with our two pups and very dependable! Thanks Kristina for taking a little bit of stress away from our last minute plans change!”

“Once again Nicole was so wonderful. This is our 2nd time we have used Nicole. We were gone for longer time than usual and I felt so reassured that Nicole was there every day for our kitties. She provided regular updates and pictures. It means a lot to see that our kitties were doing well. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”

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.
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: 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
“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.”

“Jessica is great! She took wonderful care of my kitty. She did daily drop ins to play with my kitty, ensure she had her food, litter management, and of course chin scritches. I would highly recommend Jessica!”


About: I was a Rover caregiver for several years, then I adopted a rescue who is reactive to other dogs and had to stop boarding/sitting. I missed interacting with all the great pets I met, so I'm back in action for drop-in visits and walks on weekends. I've been caring for friends' and family pets for almost 30 years. I'm typically very good with anxious/shy dogs, and I'm not squeamish about dogs who give lots of slobbery kisses LOL I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on the weekends or on holidays when I have the day off from work. When doing walks or drop-in visits, I follow my clients' instructions, and have no problems with feeding or administering medications. I also let your pets set the pace and give them space & time needed to get used to me being in their space.
About: I grew up with pets, and love being around pups! I don’t have any of my own and for that reason, getting to take care of your pup is a true joy for me. I love hearing even the smallest details about your beloved pet so that I can give them as much care as you do! I’m a stay-at-home mom with daily availability to make house visits or go on walks. My teen sons also enjoy pet sitting/ dog walking and may accompany me at times. I strive to give them the same love and care you do! I am a detailed oriented person who you can be confident will attempt to hear and follow all of your instructions, making sure your pet is in good hands! I want to give you and your pet the highest care and respect possible. Pet parents know all the individual qualities about their pet— what they like to do, what scares them, what will help them get in and out of the house, etc. Those are the things I appreciate knowing.

About: I have been a dog owner for 5 years and have experience taking care of diabetic dogs. I volunteer at animal shelter weekly so I have experience interacting with big and small dog breeds with some behavioral issues. I currently work a 7 to 4 full time job Monday through Fridays. Weekends are my best availability, but I am open to doing drops in friday night if needed. I follow clients' instructions and understand that pets and owners need to follow a certain routine or schedule to be comfortable with a caretaker while owners are away.

About: I am willing to travel to make sure dogs get the absolute best care. I love taking dogs on walks and making sure that I do my absolute best to make sure that dogs are taken care of. I want to do my best to make your extended family members happy. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine and as a biology major, I will always look out for your dog's best interest. I am around the Greenfield/Indianapolis/Carmel/Fishers area and I am more than happy to house sit while taking care of your four-legged family members! I love going on walks with pets, playing fetch or tug of war, and I am also good with cats. If you think I would make a good fit, don't hesitate to message me and I will get back with you as soon as possible!

About: Every pet deserves personalized care, patience, and genuine attention—not just someone stopping by to check a box. I take the time to get to know each dog’s and cat’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. When you book with me, your pet receives dependable, one-on-one care that includes fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise or playtime, lots of affection, and close attention to their well-being. I also provide detailed updates and photos after every visit, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. I believe reliability, communication, and treating every pet like they’re my own are what set me apart. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and cared for until you return home I currently work a full-time job during nights Monday through Thursday. I can accommodate and flex my schedule where I’m available any time around 11am-3pm on these days. Days outside my regular full-time position, I can make myself free for whatever is needed. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that keeps their routine as consistent as possible. In your home, I follow your pet’s daily schedule, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I respect your home as if it were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll receive a clean, comfortable, and supervised environment with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I make sure they have opportunities to play, rest, and stick to their normal feeding and potty schedule to help them feel relaxed and at home. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions. Whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior, I provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving owners complete peace of mind until they’re reunited.
“She was beyond awesome!!. My pets loved Jas definitely will use again when needed. My babies got lots of love and attention . Even a new toy which he absolutely loved and could wait to show off. ( :”


About: I have had pets since I was a child. I have rescue cats and doggos. My dog and cat are seniors. Every pet deserves a healthy and loving home. I have experience administering medication as one of my rescues was epileptic and needed daily meds and eye drops. I do have professional experience working for a dog daycare!! I love animals and will always advocate for those precious innocent souls that don’t have a voice. I work part time at a doggy daycare, I’m also a part time RBT working with children and young adults. Due to an inconsistent schedule as an RBT, I’m looking forward to being able to help care for animals. There is a space for doggies to walk around. No fence so they will stay on a leash and always be attended to and watched. There is a large park across the street that is perfect for walks and large trees to provide plenty of shade.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have had a cat & dog of my own for the past 4+ years. I’m very comfortable administering medication, handling special accommodations, and making sure they feel safe and cared for in any situation. My animals have given me plenty of experience with car rides, new spaces, and meeting new people, so I understand how to keep them calm, safe, and happy. Friends and family have relied on me many times to care for their fur babies, and I really do enjoy spending time with them! I work a general 8am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday, but i have 1 & 1/2 days working from home a week. I am willing to work with anyone and be flexible during those work from home days. I can do long walks on my 1 hour lunch break, or work from home at your place if need be! I don’t work on the weekends, so i have plenty of time to do drop ins, take your dog on a couple walks, or just hang out with your fur babies for the day! Again, there are many times where im flexible with holidays, weekends, & some weekdays while im working from home. I’m newer to the indianapolis area, so i have only watched animals for my coworkers thus far. But my dog, Moose (who is 2 1/2), goes on a 30-45 minute walk a day at least, is crated when i’m not home, is given a medication for anxiety every morning via sliced turkey and peanut butter lol, and is taken on at least one car ride a week because he loves them! My cat, Smokey, is very social and playful, although self-sufficient, is very needy, so i have plenty experience with a needy animal. Both Moose and Smokey get along great, and i’ve loved being a mama to the both of them! Both of my babies are very friendly with other animals and are trained well. I have plenty of experience accommodating the needs of different animals and different personalities!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Palestine is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,630 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Palestine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
