“Dayna was outstanding. She made sure she arrived on time, took our dogs on a good walk and even played a treat game with the dogs on our deck. Dayna communicated status updates and provided photos throughout the week. She will be a "go to" for dog - and cat- care in our household!”
“Payton and Andy took such great care of our new golden retriever while my fiancé and I were at work. It was a last-minute request, and we just needed a little extra help—thankfully, they stepped right in and did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking care of Millie! We’ll definitely be using them for anything and everything in the future!”
About: I grew up with pets in the house since the age of 5. I also began pet-sitting for family and friends through past 8 years. I just graduated with my Masters degree and in the process of finding a new career which leaves me the flexibility to care for pets. The safety of pets are of upmost importance. I leave in a very pet friendly environment and leave next to a dog park so your dog has lots of area to play.
About: Caring for pets has been a part of my life since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to look after their beloved furry companions. I treat every pet like my own—with love, attention, and respect. Plus, I always make sure to leave your home just as tidy as I found it. As a dedicated college student, I prioritize my classwork—but my flexible schedule means I’m available for pet check-ins, walks, and sitting throughout the day. Whether it’s early mornings, midday breaks, or evening cuddles, I’m here to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific instructions you provide—feeding schedules, medications, routines—and make sure your pet feels secure and loved. In your home, I respect your space, clean up after myself, and maintain a calm, familiar environment for your pet. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your furry friend is in good hands.
“Elizabeth was amazing! I’ve never booked someone through rover before and she made the experience very easy. Our dog is super stubborn and our dog seemed to really enjoy her and even potty for her. Our dog usually doesn’t potty for many people.”
About: Some people call me DogDude. I've loved and rescued dogs my entire life. Thus far I've rescued over twenty, and I had nine at the most at one time. I even had two beds pushed together so all nine could sleep with me. It was furry and chaotically wonderful. Seven of those original are gone, and I miss those days. I've worked with puppies, and one rescue was even pregnant. I saw her through the pregnancy and adopted all the pups except the one I kept. I've also worked with and rescued seniors. I lived in Puerto Rico for three years, and I rescued two there and flew them back when returning to the states. I adopted a sweet old Cocker Spaniel from a program in Michigan. Her owner had been murdered by her ex-husband in Detroit. I could go on, but suffice it to say, most of my rescues have interesting stories. My most recent came from a ditch in Tennessee. It would be a pleasure to work with you and your pet(s). I'm an avid hiker with a membership to Eagle Creek. I've taken dogs out hiking with me and living doing so, if clients are comfortable with that. My availability varies, as I also own and operate a small business I operate from home and work at a brewery. I'm very flexible, though, and will work and communicate with clients to the best of my ability. At this time, I do not offer in-home pet care at my home. I'm only available for taking care of pets in your home. Thank you.
About: My husband and I have a long history with dogs - and we currently have two Golden Retrievers aged 6 and 5! Zeke and Toby are friendly, ornery, and love new friends! Both are neutered, and Zeke is crated while sleeping and when we are gone. We have had various friends and family dogs come stay with us, including a Great Dane! Therefore, we are we well versed in large or small breed needs. I grew up with a dog that had both diabetes and Cushing's disease and am well versed in providing insulin injections if required. I currently work full-time partially from home with various days I must leave. I am gone no more than 5 hours at a time, and that is typically only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am typically home full time on Mondays and Fridays. We have a large fenced in yard with lots of running area and lots of neighbor dogs. Our pups are allowed on all furniture and beds. Zeke is a true retriever and LOVES to eat anything and everything - so we actively ensure there are no open doors, trash cans, or small items that can be eaten or swallowed. Zeke is crated and we are able to crate a dog as needed.
About: I have been a dog and/or cat owner my entire life. I believe our pets are family members and treat them as such. I have provided care for many different dog breeds, as well as cats, and am also experienced in giving medicine and administering shots. Let me share my love of animals with your precious pet(s)! I have done medical transcription for over 35 years and can do it from anywhere, so I am available 24/7 to care for your pet. I can care for your pet(s) in your home just as if you were there. I am also able to do any routine tasks required (take out trash bins, plant watering, lawn maintenance, or any other chores needed).
About: Over the years I have owned and taken care of many of my neighbors pets. I have really come to live it and decided to go full time as a pet sitter. I have an mostly open schedule always free during the weekdays and most times during the weekends including some holidays. Feel free to message me for more details. I always make sure to keep the pets safe in a respectful warm manner when they are with me. I always try to read the body language to see what the animal needs. I love to do the standard playing with toys and always bring a smile to keep a positive vibe.
About: I’ve taken care of mine, friends, and families dogs for years. I especially enjoy taking them on long walks around their neighborhoods and spending time outside! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play, feed, and walk your dogs! I especially like going for long walks! My yard is unfenced but I enjoy exercising and take my dog on long walks around the neighborhood, daily! We like to call them “sniffari’s”!
About: I love pets! I have had dogs and cats since I was little and have always enjoyed sitting for my family and friends. I know how hard it is to leave your pet and how important it is to know they’re in good hands! I currently have very open availability. I can come by for a quick visit and walk or stay overnight at your home to care for your pets. When caring for your pets I want to make sure I am giving them the best treatment, so I always like to know what the owner would prefer! I am quick to responding to messages and will send you photos of your pets as well. I love to snuggle and play with your furry ones!
About: I have over 2.5 years of professional pet care experience at a busy boarding facility, in which I took care of dogs and cats, plus extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Not only that, but I have a special interest in canine ethology, which carries over into my everyday life. Currently, I have two rabbits and have raised seven kits (baby rabbits) myself, along with caring for a total of nine rabbits over time, all now happily homed! I’ve also grown up with and raised a variety of dog breeds in my 21 years of life —from an 180 lb European Great Dane and another Great Dane rescue, to two Cocker Spaniels, an Irish Water Spaniel, and a Cavalier Spaniel. Right now, I share my home with a Great Dane named "Bmo" and an Irish Water Spaniel named "Butter" alongside my two bunnies, who were mentioned previously. We are definitely a Spaniel and Great Dane home if you can tell :). This hands-on experience gives me a deep understanding of different temperaments, needs, care routines, handling, and training. Although I have not had the honor of raising cats in my home, or growing up with them side by side -- I do have personal experience in caring for neighbors cats', as well as my professional experience in caring for cats at a boarding facility, here in Indiana. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding schedules, and adapting to each pet’s personality. What sets me apart is my genuine passion, patience, and commitment to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I’m currently available full-time, as I have parted with my commercial pet boarding job to focus on 1 on 1 care... which means I can offer flexible scheduling, whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles! I’m used to the rhythms of feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve on their schedule, not mine. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to "info dump" on me, as I closely follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and medication, and I’m always attentive to changes in behavior or health. In my home, pets have a clean, quiet space with plenty of fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to relax. When I visit your home, I treat it with respect, leaving everything exactly as I found it while ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. Building trust with both pets and their owners is my top priority—so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands.
About: Growing up on a farm, many animals have been an important part of my life. They’ve been my loyal sidekicks. I’ve also worked with friends’ dogs helping them in basic leash training and manners. And cats. Love kitties Me schedule is generally flexible during the week. I have a few commitments but not many and am ready to serve your needs. I am happy to be a regular and consistent person in your animals care. I will show your furry friend the respect and love it needs while honoring what you as an owner would like. Your wishes are as important as your dog’s needs.

Amy M.
“Amy is incredibly caring and considerate with animals, especially dogs. Her two most recent dogs, miniature dachshunds named Molly and Tiller, were treated just like her own kids. She was always playful with them and looked after them day and night. She now enjoys travelling to see and take care of her "grand-dogs," Bodhi and Gordy. I can't imagine anyone being a better caregiver for someone's pet(s).”
