About: I have 2–3 years of experience on Rover, during which I’ve worked with countless breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, energy levels, and medical needs. This experience has made me adaptable and confident in handling all types of pets- truly nothing phases me! I love animals and deeply value providing the highest level of care. It is a top priority to make sure the pets are happy and comfortable during an anxiety-provoking time for them. I’m very detail-oriented and always prioritize following all instructions closely, ensuring I meet both the pet’s needs and the owner’s expectations. I also place a strong emphasis on communication and can tailor how frequent and detailed my updates are in order to provide peace of mind for the owner. It is just as important to me to meet the needs of the owner as well as the pets’! I have a full time job working as a Triage Clinician Friday-Tuesday with Wednesday and Thursday off. My shift times vary from 7-9 hours, but I am able to be with your pets immediately before and after my shifts. I do everything I can to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs! I am always diligent about following all instructions and meeting the level of care needed for each animal. I am detail-oriented and value going above and beyond with communication and exceeding my clients' standards.
About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
“Julie was able to take Mabel with little notice and provide provided great care for her! I really appreciated the photos during the day and updates. I would recommend her and use her again for sure.”
“Our pup came back exhausted from playing and well taken care of. Brittany responds quickly and sent us picture/updates while we are away for a quick day trip. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer treated our dog as if it was her own. She was a great communicator, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She has a lives in a nice house, is a quiet neighborhood, with a fenced in backyard, perfect for any dog’s stay. We plan to use her again.”
“We had a great experience with Heidi! Lots of detailed updates and photos :) Celeste had such a great time there that she’s kind of glum now that she’s back here haha! We hope that Heidi will host Celeste again in future!”
“Veronika has house sat for our cats and been an amazing puppy day care for our 9 week old pup. She’s our go to pet sitter because she is reliable, compassionate and a great communicator!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Laura, Chris, and their family! From the very first, it felt like our two Sheepadoodles were welcomed as part of the pack. We booked a full 6 days and every evening they would be exhausted in the best way, always excited to return. Laura and Chris were kind, communicative, and clearly dog-experts! Can’t recommend them enough!”
About: I have four cats of my own, Yasho, Suki, Kaori and my eldest Effy! I understand the importance of being there for our pets. It’s important that they receive the attention and care they need while we tend to our responsibilities. I have worked with young and old dogs and cats, as well as small and large dogs. I enjoy working with animals and learning what works best for them. If you need someone who’s experienced with geriatric doggos/kitties, I’m your gal! I am open for all your pet needs! My schedule is pretty flexible and I find it hard to say no to all the adorable, and precious fur babies out there. I don’t have a dog but love to care for them as if they were my own. Consider me their auntie 😆 I am able to provide a stress free environment for you pets when they come to my home. It has a fenced in yard and many spots to sun bathe or cuddle up on our lovesac. Caring for your pet at your home, I can’t guarantee that it will be stress free for them as any animal becomes weary of unfamiliar people, but I have treats and tricks up my sleeve to provide a more stress free non threatening approach for house visiting/sitting. I make sure the pet has much needed attention to make their acquaintance and build a calm and gentle rapport with the pet.
“I cannot recommend Emily enough. She helped me out last min taking care of my 9 week pup and it was an absolute blessing. I HIGHLY recommend using and thinking of her when you are in need of a Pup Sitter. Thank you so much again Emily you are the best.”

About: As a passionate dog lover with years of experience, I provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry friends. I send a photo and brief update of your dog’s day every day of their stay so you can rest assured that they are cared for and having a good time! My personalized approach includes tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, ensuring your pets feel loved and secure while you're away. I treat every dog like family, giving them the attention and care they deserve! I am available for boarding every day of the week and I accept most last minute bookings. I am also available for dog walking on weekdays after 4pm! I have a friendly puppy to keep your fur baby company and a fenced in yard for your dog to run free and play in. I have a lot of crate training experience and if you prefer, I can crate your pet according to your schedule. I keep a very clean and dog safe home, and have complimentary treats upon request.
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.

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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Pendleton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 574 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of IN. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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 .

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.
