“Elizabeth and her husband, Josh were excellent caretakers for our pup, Huxley. He was so well cared for and ready to nap from all the fun he had once he returned home. We will reach out to them again when we need care.”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Kisha was our first cat sitter and she set the bar high! She was the gold standard for someone we wanted to take care of our cats! Kept us updated with photos and daily ongoings. Our cats were fed, happy, and clean!”
“Maria is an amazing sitter and I will be referring all my friends to her. She always makes gays very happy! He is always in a great mood when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. And when I am away she updates me daily.”
“She did an amazing job looking after our girl over 4th of July weekend. Couldn't recommend Jen enough. Will definitely be requesting her again in the future.”
About: For me, pet sitting on Rover is so much more than a job—it is a true passion rooted in 30 years of dedicated animal care experience. Over the decades, I have had the absolute joy of looking after all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. I know firsthand that every single pet is a cherished family member with their own unique personality and routine. Because of this lifelong background, I am incredibly adaptable; I know exactly how to keep up with a high-energy puppy, gently comfort a shy senior cat, or carefully manage specialized feeding schedules for your pets. I treat every animal in my care exactly how I would want my own pets to be treated: with endless patience, safety, and deep affection. Leaving a pet can be stressful for owners, so I always leverage my decades of experience to prioritize clear communication, reliability, and daily updates that give families complete peace of mind. I am fully confident in my ability to connect with and care for any type of pet, and I am dedicated to making sure both you and your companion feel completely safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work as a handy-man so my hours are flexible enough to need your pets every needs from stopping by and playing multiple times a day to sitting with them all day and night. I also have an animal friend home with pleanty of play area and 1 acre of fenced in yard for them to play. My 3 dogs and 3 cats welcome any animal into the household with open paws. My gentle giant st. Bernard and German shepherd are rough enough to play tug of war with the biggest of dogs but gentle enough to cuddle and protect a 5lb teacup Yorkie.
“Bennae was very accommodating and kind. Chico returned home with the same mannerisms he left with. I will definitely be using Bennae again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Great experience”
“Valerie was amazing with my dog. She gets extremely anxious and has bad separation anxiety and Valerie quickly made her feel right at home. When we came to pick her up, she didn’t get excited or pull on her leash to come to me, which is usually what she will do! I would definitely use Valerie again and so should you!!!”
“Took very good care of my babies while staying at his place. Was very resourceful and patient when my Pickles decided to play the hiding game and then started getting agressive. I appreciate Roy for watching and keeping my babies safe during the day.”
“I had my two poodles, Zoey & Dusty stay with Brooke for eleven days. She sent me pictures every day and both of them were very happy. They played, ate and took naps. Brooke is a real dog lover. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.”
“This was the first time I let my fur baby stay with someone that I did not know. I read through many of the reviews and selected Kaitlyn as my sitter of choice. She was a great communicator and very accommodating. Her love and passion for dogs was immediately apparent. My dog can take some time to warm up to folks but it did not take long for her to feel right at home with Kaitlyn. She sent me updates daily with pictures of Mae playing, lounging, and being herself. I would highly recommend Kaitlyn to watch your fur baby, unless I need her that week. ?”
“This is my first time getting a sitter for my dog, and let me tell you I am so glad I went with Shelby! She is super sweet and genuinely cares for your pet. If I need a sitter again, she will be my choice again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 80 pounds. Family members have relied on me to bathe their furry babies, take them for walks, feed, and watch them over night. I would be honored to do the same for you! In currently working part time with shifts ranging from 5 to 8 hours so i’ll have plenty of time to make your pets feel loved! i am available weekdays and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard, but am a member to a dog park here in town. I have a border collie and two cats that don’t mind other animals.
“Second time we'd left our dog with Kaitlin and as before it went great! We also last second adopted a second dog and Kaitlin was very understanding and great to work with, highly recommend!”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“So grateful that we found Michael to care for our pup! He was prompt with communication, sent sweet photos and updates while we were away, and kept our dog feeling happy while we were away. Definitely recommend!”
“Ami was amazing. She sent so many pictures of Wagner having a good time. She communicated frequently and i felt so comfortable leaving him with her. He loved being there.”

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.
97% of sitters in Palmyra can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Palmyra 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 Palmyra.
<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 Palmyra 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.
