About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily. Along with that experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals to care for. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, and extended stays depending on availability. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I create a calm, positive environment and make sure pets get plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and attention while in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and worry-free.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Laina and I’m an animal behavior student at Indiana University open for work! I have extensive experience in animal care with my education experience, volunteer training, and personal pets as well! In my past I have trained service dogs through ICAN and volunteer at The Love Pet Project. Currently I have six dogs at home that I care for as well as two cats! I’m highly experienced with various animal care and aspire to make a career out of my passion! I am available for full time care through the week and weekends or part time if needed as well. I provide daily care, hourly check ins, long walks, bathing/grooming services, or I’m potentially open to overnight stays depending on the client. I provide excellent and safe care for all animals. Depending on the animals needs and behavior I am able to bring them to parks, trails, back yards, or pet stores for play and enrichment! Animals will be kept on their leashes when in public at all times and kept from a safe distance from other animals that may be around! All fences will be checked for damage before animals are let loose to play! In the home all food will be placed in high areas that are up and away from the animals reach. Sharp objects that could causes harm are also placed away!

This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!

About: I'm a recent graduate from IU Bloomington who studied Animal Behavior, with several years of experience caring for animals, especially cats. I spent two years working in an animal shelter, helping with daily care, low-stress interactions, and making pets feel comfortable around new people and routines. I also have clinical experience caring for a high volume of cats, including shy, sensitive, or easily stressed cats who need a calm and patient approach. I’m very comfortable reading cat body language and adjusting my care to what each individual cat needs. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and individual pet owners, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m the type of sitter who wants your pet to feel comfortable and cared for, and I always send clear updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. My current availability is: Monday: fully free Tuesday: fully free Wednesday: fully free Thursday: fully free Friday: fully free Saturday: fully free Sunday: fully free I’m very careful about safety and trust, especially with cats who can be cautious with new people. I follow their routine closely, move at their pace, and never push interaction if they’re not feeling it. I’m careful about doors and any escape risks when entering or leaving. I pay close attention to body language and the small things that can signal stress or discomfort, and I’ll always reach out right away if anything seems unusual. I send clear photo updates each visit so you always know how things are going while you’re away.

About: Hello! I'm recently retired from the Air Force, an avid reader, and a lifelong animal lover. I've cared for cats and dogs throughout my life, including my senior British Shorthair, Sasha. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm presence, you'll receive plenty of photos and updates while you're away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my senior British Shorthair, Sasha, and enjoy building walks and outdoor time into my day. Since retiring, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. At this time, I provide care in my clients' homes rather than my own. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I'm happy to maintain their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I'll treat your pets as if they were my own and provide regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

We were nervous about hiring a stranger to house sit all of our animals- there are five- plus fish. We had had friends of friends house sit for us until this point, and something usually went wrong. Like they killed off a whole tank of fish or that they ignored our parrot, so she plucked out quite a few feathers, and we had never left our dogs with anyone who wasn't family. We have a rescue whose previous owners severely abused him, and he takes a second to warm up to people- for this reason, we haven't left either of them in four years. They've always come with us on vacation, or one of us stays home. This time we couldn't take them, and it was a tough decision. The highest praise I can give Zachary is that Henry (our rescue) snuggled him. I am so grateful for everything Zachary did for us, from nightly proof of life photos to the meet and greet beforehand to simply asking questions to make sure he cared for everyone the way we do. Since getting home about fifteen hours ago, we've already rebooked him and given his name to one of our friends who doesn't like to leave her dog. If you want a kind, caring and dependable person to care for your animals, Zachary is it.

About: I have 7 dogs and 4 cats of my own and they are all spoiled beyond compare. I love animals and have also worked at a Petco and learned about nutrition and some training from the dog trainers that I worked along side. I am quite flexible in the afternoons when it comes to taking care of the animals needs. I work 8-4 Monday through Friday and with what I do it is hard to leave in the middle of the shift but available outside of that as needed! I am always weary of low water bowls, sticking to an animal's routine and giving them all they love they need and then some. My personal animals are schedule fed with a fenced in back yard and all the toys and stimulation they need.

Kristle was amazing!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to watch our Coco Bella! Kristle was loving and caring! She was so good to Coco! She took her out on walks, played with her, and made sure she was well taken care of. She sent us pictures everyday and was quick to respond! I am so happy we met Kristle and we will be in contact with her for future needs! I highly recommend her services! Thank you Kristle and family! Coco loved you guys!

Evelyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Matilda and went above and beyond in our home. She was communicative and sent us updates. She was very sweet to our girl, who is a 3 year old lab with lots of energy and separation anxiety. We felt totally at ease knowing she was in Evelyn's care. We will definitely have Evelyn sit again!

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Brownsburg resident, lifelong animal lover, and experienced caregiver. My background includes years of experience caring for animals through 4-H, including dogs, horses, and livestock, as well as caring for pets in home settings. I’ve worked with animals of different sizes, temperaments, and care needs, and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. My experience extends beyond household pets and includes dogs, horses, and livestock through years of 4-H participation and hands-on animal care. Professionally, I’ve worked in education, healthcare leadership, and caregiving roles where trust, responsibility, communication, and safety were essential every day. Those same qualities guide how I care for your pets and your home. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is different—and every pet is family. When you book with me, you can expect reliable communication, regular photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are being cared for by someone with both animal-care and professional caregiving experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits, feedings, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and provide regular updates so owners know their cats are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences provided by the owner. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. While I primarily care for pets in their own homes, I may consider select services in my home on a case-by-case basis. My focus is always on providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience for each pet.

About: I am a former veterinary technician that has years of experience with animals. I have experience with special needs, medication, geriatric, special diet, restraint, IV fluids, and much more. I have worked with dogs in the veterinary field, training, and doing therapy work. I can also care for cats, reptiles, birds and your other pets. I have worked for an animal sanctuary where we had many different animals. I was in charge of the infirmary there and medicating all the animals as far as any sick or injured animals and monthly flea and tick treatments. I cared for animals there from the very small, winged, scaly to the large cows and horses. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies to love and care for like they were my own. I am willing to work with just about anyone's schedule. If you can be flexible, we can always work something out. Available for your pets any day of the week and during most hours. Your pet's care is my priority. I come to your home for care which makes your pet(s) feel much more at ease. When your pet is in their own environment, they are less stressed while you are gone.

About: I have had pets all my life and dealt with all sorts of animals growing up in nature. I currently have three dogs that are older. I trained them as puppies and now work to care for them as seniors. I have 6+ years in the food service industry so I am not afraid of a mess and will do the best I can to care and love your pet while you’re away. I am currently working remotely as a research assistant this summer and part time in food service industry. I can spend nights with your pets to comfort them and stop by to let them out and play multiple times a day. I can do early morning and late night stopbys as well. I have a large yard where my three dogs love to run around and play. As puppies, I crated them so I am perfectly comfortable with which ever method you prefer. I’ve also taken my dogs to dog parks and on long walks/hikes before, on and off leash.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pike

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,073 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pike. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pike walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pike maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pike choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pike. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
