“what a gem of a find & amazing sitter for my fur baby -- Khaki can be very skiddish when meeting new people or intimidating when others first meet her but Karen was a perfect match right from the start! dog-friendly home, great yard plus it felt like Auntie Karen was watching over her as I regularly got texted pictures and personal reassurances during my last minute trip HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: will use again & again”
“Mallory took good care of Jiggly for a week and shared regular updates with the pics. Jiggly’s vegan food, his playpen accommodations were very well taken care of and he was provided a good play time with Mia. Would definitely be boarding Jiggly with Mallory again in the future”
“Kailly is our “go-to”! This is our fourth visit with Martha and definitely not the last. Martha is always well cared for and happy when we come to pick her up. It’s a bit of a drive, and well worth it.”
“Chris was easy to work with and took such good care of our Edna! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup for our summer vacation knowing she was in great hands! Would definitely not hesitate to use Chris again. 🥰”
“We were so pleased to have Jane take care of our dog over the holidays. She provided daily photos, videos and updates. Milo was clearly happy in her care and we would definitely have him stay with her again!”
“Veronika took great care of our high energy Labrador puppy! Celeste appears happy and safe :) Veronika sent many update pics and played with Celeste a lot! We hope we can have Celeste stay with Veronika again soon”
“This experience was wonderful for both my dog and I. I have never left him before and he had a great time. Emily is an awesome dog sitter. She sent me pictures every day. She has two of the sweetest little boys that Augie enjoyed playing with and also a small dog of her own. After the first picture arrived I was able to enjoy my vacation. He was glad to see me but I’m sure he’s going to miss Emily and the boys. I was very happy with her care and will use her again when I need to. I would highly recommend her to keep your dog and feel comfortable about leaving it there.”
“My dog had lots of fun and seemed to be well taken care of. She had friends to play with, and was pretty sad when we left! You could just tell she wasn't ready to leave. I got nightly updates and they handled her very well.”
“Kylie was great. She was responsive to messages and friendly. My dog lives her. I am not certain she was ready to come home. Kylie sent pictures and even a video while my dog was in her care. Thanks, Kylie!”
“Brittney was great. She was able to keep our Great Dane for an entire week while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates of our pup while we were gone and he definitely seemed to enjoy his time.”
About: Lifelong dog owner and lover. Senior pet specialist (thanks to our 14 year-old Golden, Rosie). Cat whisperer (our velcro kitty Neptune would agree). And come August, officially an empty nester with way too much love to give. I handle meds, brushing, playtime, and litter boxes. Your pet is in great hands. I currently work from home, so can be flexible. If you're close enough I can pop in every few hours if needed. I can stay over if your pets need overnight care. I have a senior dog and a cat and since they're the actual owners of the space, I'll only be at your home. Whatever makes them comfortable, happy and safe while they're missing you, I can acommodate.
“We had a great experience! They took excellent care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. We really appreciated the regular messages and the pictures they sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care, and we will gladly use their services again in the future!”
“To review or not to review…I guess it would be selfish to keep this to myself, but Courtney and Johnny were amazing dog sitters. I always felt like my dog was loved like their own…oh and their own dog, Otto, is such a cool mushy guy. From the pictures we were sent, I was so at ease seeing my dog have a new BFF! Very responsible. Can’t go wrong here.”
“It was kind of a short notice to leave Freddy with Julie and we are glad she was available. It was a short stay but I know Freddy just loves being with Julie. He was probably disappointed we weren’t gone longer.”

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 Oakford 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 Oakford.
<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 Oakford 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.
