“Kayla is very understanding and was able to flex her time based on my travel schedule. This was the first time I left my cat alone and I came back to a very happy and calm kitty. Thanks Kayla!”
“We are always scared to leave our dog with a stranger, but Sammy did great!! She updated me each time she went over and sat with him for a while so he wasn’t alone for so long. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Andrew was an absolute godsend while we were away!!! He took the BEST care of our dog, and sent us cute photos and videos each day! He truly listened to what we wanted for our dog (who is older and a little stubborn) and went above and beyond in terms of caring for her like his own beloved pet. He checked in with us to ensure that we were ok with certain things, and did an amazing job of keeping us reassured that things were all a-ok, which was particularly nice since it was our first time experiencing an in-home pet sitter. He left our house in nicer condition than when we left it. I’m pretty sure my dog misses him now that we are home! We have already told him we will be using his services again in the future!!!”
“Ron is the absolute best! Never had a problem always takes good care of the dogs and they love him! Can't ask for a better sitter!! Also has saved our butt on a few last minute bookings!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years and have always loved animals. I’ve cared for everything from fish and small pets to dogs, cats, and horses. I’m comfortable giving medications and handling feeding routines, and I always make sure to clean up after pets while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I also volunteer at the animal shelter weekly as of September. I work full-time with a schedule that has me out early everyday, which allows me to plan reliable care for dogs. I’m available for afternoon and evening walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m fully present during evenings and weekends. Pet sitting is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve always loved animals and hope to foster in the future, but for now pet sitting allows me to give animals the care, patience, and kindness they deserve. I’m calm, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I take pride in being reliable, respectful of homes, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m 19 years old and genuinely love what I do
“Janell was absolutely wonderful! We have five pets (two large dogs and three cats) who, while all lovely, can be a lot to manage all together. Janell took everything in stride and was an excellent caretaker while we were out of town! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and was very conscientious about their care. She also was very respectful of our home and left everything in great shape! There’s nothing better than knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re out of town and coming home to a happy and cared for crew, and Janell definitely fits that bill. We would absolutely have her watch our pets again!”
About: 🐾 A Little Country Getaway for Your Fur Babies! 🌾 Hi there! We're a husband-and-wife duo who have had pets in our lives for as long as we can remember. To us, animals aren't just pets — they're family! ❤️ We live on 36 beautiful acres and would love to welcome your four-legged family members to our little slice of country life! Think fresh air, new sights and smells, plenty of attention, and all the love and snuggles they could ask for. 🐶🌳 We know leaving your pets behind can be hard, so our goal is to make their stay feel like a true home away from home. Whether your pup loves exploring outdoors, enjoying a leisurely walk, playing, or curling up for some cozy cuddle time, we'll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. 🌾 Country living meets everyday convenience! We're conveniently located just off State Road 44 between Franklin and Indianapolis, making us a potentially convenient stop for commuters heading into the city. Whether you're off to work, planning a weekend getaway, or heading out on vacation, your pup can enjoy their own little country retreat while you're away! 🐾 Safety always comes first. Although we have 36 acres to enjoy, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks around our property are always on leash. We want your pups to enjoy the fresh air and country surroundings while keeping their safety our top priority. As a husband-and-wife team, we bring a lifetime of experience with animals, plenty of enthusiasm for making new furry friends, and double the love to share.

And when you trust us with your family, we'll do everything we can to make you feel good about leaving them in our care. Your dog's country getaway is waiting! 🐕🌾 We can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! A Home Full of Love (and Plenty of Belly Rubs!) 🐾 I'm a stay-at-home mom, and my husband works from home, so our home has a extra flexibility for welcoming your fur babies! Having us both home for much of the day means your pup can enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and opportunities for supervised outdoor time. We love the idea of making your dog's stay feel less like traditional boarding and more like visiting friends.

We live on 36 acres in the country, giving us a beautiful setting to enjoy some fresh air and explore new sights and smells. All outdoor time is supervised, and walks are always on leash. We never allow dogs to roam freely around the property because their safety is too important to us. We also understand how important it is to maintain your pet's usual routine. We'll discuss feeding schedules, medications, allergies, behavioral needs, and any special instructions with you before their stay so we can provide care that works for your pup. As a stay-at-home mom and a husband who works from home, we're both around much of the day, allowing us to offer plenty of companionship and attention. We'll respect your pet's boundaries, give them time to settle in, and make sure they have a comfortable space to relax. We know trusting someone with your fur baby is a big deal. Our goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pup a safe, loving home away from home. 🌾🐶

“Mirte was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our home and pets. She went above and beyond in every way, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly adored her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. We came home to a spotless house, happy animals, and everything handled perfectly. Mirte is reliable, kind, professional, and truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets and home. Five stars all around!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. Rescues have always been my preference for my personal fur baby but I love all fur babies big and small. I have professional experience as well working in a doggy daycare w/boarding. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on Weekends and after 2pm on Thursdays and 10am on Fridays. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly pup of my own to play with and I can gate/crate your dog if I need to.

FAQs for House Sitting - Princes Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,043 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Princes Lakes. 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 Princes Lakes 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 Princes Lakes 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 Princes Lakes 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princes Lakes. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
