“Katie was absolutely awesome. Great communication. Tons of updates. Very responsible and you can tell how much she loves and cares for your pet. Highly recommended. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Christina was great stopping in to feed and let my dogs out. She did great with one of my dogs who is very anxious. She also helped feed my guinea pigs while I was away which was very appreciated!”
“Brady went above and beyond taking care of our dogs through a medical situation. He was very communicative and responded promptly to any requests! He also didn't hesitate to include our bonus animals (aquariums/caged) in his care.”
About: I have been a trusted pet sitter by family members, neighbors, friends, and coworkers for over ten years. I have experience with all kinds of critters, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I recently lost my senior rescue cat to cancer, so I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. My goal as a pet-sitter and dog-walker is to make your pet as happy as can be until their favorite people come home! I work remotely on Tuesdays and Fridays and would be able to provide in home visits or dog walks anytime throughout the day. My availability is more flexible on weekends. I am very adaptable and experienced with animals, so I am willing to learn and follow any instructions given to best care for your pet.
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a reliable, active pet lover who knows pets are family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I love being outdoors, so I’m always happy to keep energetic dogs active, and I’m just as comfortable following the routine of more laid-back pets. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I’m an 8-4p worker. If you live close enough, I can care for your pet on lunch breaks. I can also care for your pet before and after work. I will treat your home like my own. I am dependable and loyal. I have two people who regularly depend on me to care for their animals.
“Zoe was an exceptional dog sitter in my home for my 2 pups and I would absolutely recommend her and hire her again. The dogs seemed to immediately trust her when they first met and that tells me a lot about their comfort level and her energy with them. Zoe was consistent with communication, reliable, took care of all the pups needs and was extra helpful doing a few minor house management items (like bringing trash cans back in from three curb and watering some flowers) while I was away. Zoe is personable, kind, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend her for your animal care needs.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently raise Bax, my 5 month old Bernedoodle. Before Bax, I helped raise and care for my childhood dog a 100-pound Goldendoodle, Kobe, for many years. I also regularly pet sat for my neighbors’ dog and cats throughout middle and high school. I understand that every pet is different and will treat your pets with the same care, attention, and patience that I give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care after 6:30 PM on weekdays. My schedule allows me to provide evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care when needed. I am also available most weekends and can offer more flexible scheduling during that time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, receive meals on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety by keeping pets leashed when appropriate and monitoring their behavior closely. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“We love having Emily watch Chop, and Chop loves having Emily over! She is communicative and sweet, and Chop always seems so happy when with her! She also left our place super clean which is helpful to come home to after time away.”
“Laura did a great job caring for our dogs and home while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures with the dogs snuggled on her lap and playing fetch - their two favorite things. Sometimes when we get home from a trip the dogs seem a bit out of sorts, but not this time at all. We will reach out to Laura next time we go out of town!”
“Frances was so sweet to Holly. She sent me pictures of her and made being away from her a little easier. I’ll admit, Holly is a bit spoiled. And when I got home I could tell she got all the care, love, hugs, and snuggles while I was away. I would recommend Frances to take care of your pets. But only if you want them to get the best care while you’re away.”
“Cameron was very attentive to our 10 year old golden retriever! He was also very accommodating with us since we had to change plans last minute. Definitely will book him again in the future!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and have helped care for them since I was young! I have experience with giving medicine through various methods. I also love to help out with cats! I currently have 3 cats and have experience with house sitting and medicine for them as well. I work a hybrid 8-4 job so I am available for early morning and the rest of the evening. On WFH days and weekends I have all day availability! At the owner's house I have a generic clean up messes, give any medicines, feed, water, and give lots of love and treats! I am open to doing more as needed as long as the communication is there!
“Megan did an amazing job! Took notes and was flexible to every need and preference, pictures and updates regularly, and my minions clearly had a lot of fun! Highly recommend and will be requesting again for my future dog sitting! Thanks Megan!!!”
“Clara is amazing. Both my dogs love her. She send pictures and sends updates during her stay. We will definitely be using her again! I would highly recommend if looking for someone to watch you pets.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job at making sure our pup got all of the love and attention he needed when we were out of town! Frequent updates on how we was doing, pictures of him, and plenty of walks and fetch. Hope to be able to book her again!”
“Kyla was dependable and attentive to our dog Rue. She took daily care of Rue including medications and sent us daily updates. She also left the house looking just as when we left it. Highly recommend.”
“Always love having Daniel watch our boys!! Love getting photos and videos of them and the interactions. Our number one go to pet sitter! Super reliable and just amazing. Would’ve loved to tip more but the app doesn’t allow more than 30% so highly recommend :))”
“Amy stayed with my fur babies during Christmas. I really appreciate her availability and it helps my peace of mind knowing my cats are getting comfortable with a consistent and loving caregiver. I will certainly use her for future bookings. She provides daily updates and photos of my babies as they sun themselves and during feedings.”
About: I have a Shih-Tzu and 2 cats currently. But grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I have experience with exotic animals too (marine animals mostly) and am currently a full-time animal trainer & a part-time vet assistant. I have a flexible schedule & reliable transportation and would love to help you and your family. I am available for long walks or a drop in visit. I'm located in downtown Indy & willing to travel to you and your furry friend. I feel comfortable feeding and administering medications or any special care that your dog will need. Also am comfortable walking long distances or playing ball. I am also comfortable checking on/caring for your cat. I have volunteer experience at zoos, aquariums, and shelters as well. Thank you so much, I hope to hear from you soon! I work with animals all day, every day. Please just message me to see if your schedule will work with mine. Thank you so much! I will make sure to be careful coming and going and that the leash is secure at all times. I stay very alert to my surroundings, especially on walks. I take care of animals all day at work & then come home & care for mine & would love to help bring you piece of mind while you're away. I make sure that the pet(s) are safe and secure and follow all of the instructions left for me carefully. I make sure that your pet always have what they need.

Courtney was great! She was able to accommodate my dog’s unique needs and stick to his routine, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was also respectful of my home and left everything just as she found it. I really appreciated her care and consideration and would happily recommend her!
Once again, our babies had the BEST time with Jacque!!! She took such great care of them and also took them on walks/adventures to the dog park which they absolutely loved! They did t even cry or get excited when we got home which is a huge testament to how well they were cared for while we were away. ♥️ In addition Jacque helped ease my husbands anxiety about leaving his bonsai plants which she took great care of in his absence. Jacque went above and beyond and I would gladly welcome into our home again and again when we need help with our girls. She is extremely trustworthy and communicative, and he love of dogs is evident. I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you again Jacque! Until next time! I know l Max and Lucy will miss you!!
Lauren was absolutely fantastic! She watched our 4-year-old Rottweiler, Brutus, and our 8-year-old Black Lab mix, Knox, for eight days while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Lauren was great with communication and took the time to do a meet-and-greet before our trip. She was immediately comfortable with our large dogs, which gave us a lot of confidence. She also asked really thoughtful and proactive questions about their care, including which vet we use and other important details. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure she understood our dogs and their needs. While we were away, Lauren sent regular updates and pictures. She found the perfect balance, enough updates that we knew the dogs were happy and doing well, without so many that we felt overwhelmed. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to see that Brutus and Knox were comfortable and well cared for. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. Overall, Lauren was responsible, caring, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone, especially anyone with larger dogs!
I had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter McKenna! She stayed at our house for 10 days and took excellent care of my dog, Nova. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while I was away. McKenna was responsible, caring, and respectful of my home. When I returned, the house was clean and everything was in great shape, with absolutely no issues. I would definitely recommend McKenna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. I’ll happily have her take care of Nova again! 🐾❤️
Yulia has such a kind spirit that clearly put my senior dog at ease. She was patient and flexible - even working a solution when my flight was delayed coming home. It's tough to find people who are willing to work through the extra steps and challenges of a senior dog - frequent trips outside, help up the stairs, medicines, inconsistent appetite - and Yulia handled it all with such kindness and care. Thank you!
Heather was awesome with our lab, Matilda. We felt totally comfortable with her and this made our overnight more enjoyable. Heather was patient with Matilda and went the extra mile when Tilds was being stubborn. We will definitely book Heather again and recommend her highly.
Sofia was so fantastic in communicating before and during Michigan’s sitting. Felt totally comfortable leaving Michigan with her and giving her total access to my house while away. She even took pictures to check in during the sitting. I highly recommend Sofia to other pet parents. 10/10

The average cost of House Sitting in Ravenswood is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Ravenswood 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 Ravenswood 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 Ravenswood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
