“Alexis was awesome and kept my Cali company while I had to be away. Cali sure is enjoying the toy Alexis gave her. I will be sure to use Alexis anytime I need assistance with Cali.”

“Jennifer was quick to act on my emergency drop in! I sent her many instructions and she followed everything. I very much appreciate her willingness to help. She saved my day.”

“Emily did great with my dogs and I know she took excellent care of them. My babies can be a handful and she never once complained. She gives a lot of details in her communications and I really do like that. It puts me at ease knowing my babies are well taken care of”

“Melanie went out of her way to come meet Olivia and us before her time to dog sit. She was flexible, communicated very well and did an excellent job. This was our first time to use Rover and we are hooked! Thank you!”

Cassie G.

“This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.”

About: I have hands on experience with both high energy and anxious dogs, so I’m comfortable handling everything from playful pups to pets that need a calmer, more reassuring approach. I also have experience being around cats through friends and family, and I’m happy caring for both. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be consistent and reliable with visits, walks, and check ins. I’m able to plan my day around pet care responsibilities and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions and prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and aim to create a calm, reassuring environment. I also respect the home by keeping things clean, following any house rules, and making sure everything is left as it was found. I provide updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Patient and kind with a nervous dog. Very appreciative. Thank you for the gentleness!”

About: Had pets all 24 years of my life, and now own a King Cavalier Charles who is a joy to everyone and everything. I would be a great host to anyone who comes into my home. Have taught my animals tricks and trained them as well. I work from home on Monday’s and Friday’s so I would be available to be with the animal at all times and take them out every few hours on those days and weekends. I frequently like to take breaks at work which means lots of play time. My community is large and very safe. It includes a dog park and lots of paths to walk miles on. The pets are allowed on furniture. I am a smoke free home. I have a pup at home who loves everyone and is eager to make some friends!

About: I’ve worked at a Vet hospital and I dog sit for many different dogs often. I currently walk 2 dogs every week 2 to 3 days. I’m currently working part time while walking other dogs but I still have availability! Overnights are also doable for dogs that do not need 24/7 attention and care. I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, keep their space clean, offer playtime and comfort, and ensure they feel safe and cared for in any home.

“Nicole was fantastic and my 3 dogs loved her! We will definitely use her again.”

“Maddie made me feel that my precious cat was going to be well-taken care of while we were away, and she did not disappoint. Prompt and courteous, I have already recommended her to a neighbor. I hope she will be able to allow me to travel without worry many more times in the future.”

Laura S.

“Emma and TJ were amazing with our babies and I am so thankful they kept a watchful eye on them while my partner and I were away at a wedding for the weekend! We had limited phone access so it was nice having peace of mind that they were taking good care of our fur babies. And they followed our instructions to a T, making sure that the needs of our kitties were met very well. So thankful we booked with them!”

Kelly M.

“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”

Sarah & McGwire A.

“Jen is top quality dog care. She puts her heart and soul into your pet. Prezi loves her. I highly recommend Jen. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my baby girl. Thank you for being so good Jen”

Anthony F.

“Sabrina did a great job dropping in on our girls. She fed them breakfast, gave them pets and let them out for potties. Our girls were happy and well cared for.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. For senior dogs, I provide gentle walks, monitor health, and administer medications as needed. For adult dogs, I focus on maintaining a healthy routine with regular exercise and balanced care. With puppies, I emphasize training, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I tailor walks and activities to each dog's age and energy level, and manage medications with care. My approach is always compassionate, ensuring the well-being of dogs at every stage of life. Doing pet care as a sitter helps my schedule by offering flexible hours, structured tasks, and steady income, while improving my time management and responsibility. As a pet sitter, I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment by ensuring pets are cared for, following routines, maintaining clear communication, and providing a secure space.

“So far could not ask for better care and attention for.my cats! Thanks Nina❤️”

About: My husband and I live in a well taken care of home in Portage IN. We also have 2 children ages 6 and 4 years old so dogs we watch must be good with small children. We never leave our children unsupervised with the dogs always make sure they are respectful with dogs. My yard is rather large (approx. .30 acres) and with a 6 foot wood privacy fence. I volunteer for local animal shelters and have fostered many times for Lakeshore Paws in Valparaiso IN. My husband and I have decided to break from fostering dogs and offer our home and services to people who need their baby taken care of while they are away. That is also how we treat other dogs who are in our care for a short time. My husband and I enjoy having dogs and we also enjoy spoiling them rotten. When we babysit your pup you will be sure to receive many updates and pictures of your baby or babies being treated like family. We recently lost both our elderly dogs so we are currently a dog free home so we can cater to dogs that need to be the only dog. We just need kid friendly dogs that don't mind loud kids running around. My husband or myself are always home so your pup is never left. We have plenty of lush dog beds and a very large kennel if your dog is kenneled. I have a fenced yard, great neighborhood, and an active family to watch your pup. We love to treat dogs as family when they are in our home.
