“Heather is very conscious about the pets she takes care of. One of our girls had a slight limp from a sprain and Heather made sure to keep us updated on how she was doing and making sure she didn't make it worse by jumping down without assistance. We're fortunate to have Heather take care of our girls.”

About: I've have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all pets and I am very flexible and willing to learn how to best take care of your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your pets, I will dedicate my time to loving them. I've had 5 energetic dogs throughout my life. My family has had everything from small to really big. We had a papillon, papillon mix, pomeranian, pitbull/boxer mix, and a pitbull/german shepherd mix. My dogs were always the larger ones and I can handle walking very large dogs easily since my dogs weren't the best on the leash. Currently we have two dogs but I learned how to take care of them when they were babies, to when they were having old age problems. So, I can work with any range of age. I also have a cat in college now that I love taking care of. I am a student-athlete currently, but I always have time in the evenings to dedicate to taking care of a pet. I am available for drop-ins on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When you are home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am a student-athlete at IU Bloomington, so my schedule is a little packed but I miss my pets and I also love to walk, so this sounded like a great option. I am free on Saturday after morning practice, all day Sunday, mostly all day Tuesday, and all day Thursday. :) I would care for my client's pets like they were my own. I can handle giving them constant attention, feeding, walking, watering, and everything else. I am 6'0 ft tall, so I can handle big dogs if necessary.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 󠁺 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” 󠁺 Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. 󠁺 Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕‍🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

“Rebekah was prompt, responsive, responsible, resourceful, so caring, considerate, proactive, took pictures to give us updates, & called us with questions. She helped figure out a solution when our puppies had escaped their pen while we were out of town. What a relief to have her there!”

About: I’ve been around countless of animals since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of my friends’ cats more times than I can count as well as their dogs throughout the years. I’m very caring, a quick learner and very attuned to detail. Your pet will be in great hands! I just move into town so my availability is pretty open. I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pet with the schedule that works best for you! I always make sure that all animals that I take care of have every single one of their needs met. If they need extra play time, a specific way that they need to take their medication, or if they have a preferred way to approach them. Making them feel comfortable is my top priority. :)

“I have booked Bryanna 6 times to take care of my cat, for stays ranging from 3 days to more than 2 weeks. The experience has continued to improve as she spends more time with my cat and understands his needs better. She is caring, and she has gone above and beyond by bringing a few toys from her home to keep my cat entertained when he gets bored with his own toys. She refreshes water, plays, refills food, gives treats, lets my cat out on the patio for fresh air, and helps with grooming. On some visits she was able to spend extra time with him, which I really appreciate. Time and punctuality: It is good to be aware, her visit window can vary based on her schedule.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for both my own pets and other people’s animals, I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and temperaments! My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include caring for a pony and goats. I’m comfortable adapting to different animals and their individual routines, personalities, and needs. One of my biggest strengths is working with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I have hands-on experience with reactive, fearful, anxious, and avoidant dogs, and I’ve personally rescued and rehabilitated two pit bulls. I currently own a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and continue to work with dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that not every pet is immediately comfortable with a new person, and that’s okay! I believe in patience, respecting boundaries, and allowing animals to build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is outgoing and energetic or shy and cautious, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that meets them where they are. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life, so incorporating visits for other pets into my routine comes naturally! I offer flexible scheduling for drop in visits and walks, including recurring visits and vacation care. A few days’ notice is always appreciated, but I’m happy to consider same day requests when my schedule allows. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s established routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and any special needs before providing care. I’m especially attentive to body language and signs of stress, particularly with anxious, fearful, or reactive animals. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s comfort level, and never force interactions. I’m also mindful of secure doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to help keep everyone safe. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are receiving patient, attentive care in their own familiar environment.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Point Idalawn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 790 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Point Idalawn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.

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