“Thank you Michael and Annie for taking care of our Max! We really appreciate the updates, photos, and the excellent care provided to him. We will see you again in September!”
“My golden retriever loves Karen and our dog is generally timid with new people but Karen’s energy and patience are just perfect. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Lisa and her family were very flexible, easy to work with and communicated with us daily. They took great care of our dog and welcomed him into their family. Would definitely use again. Thanks so much”
“Leann is so wonderful and quite knowledgeable about dogs. She took great care of our two dachshunds, sent pictures and videos and communicated clearly regarding our pets. They came home happy and cheerful and Leann was ready ontime when we arrived to drop them and to pick them up. We would highly recommend Leann to all!”
“Have been sending Copper to them for years. They’ve always taken amazing care of him and are incredibly accommodating to changes in our travel. They respond quickly and Copper seems sad to leave every time.”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Jane is amazing! I'm so happy I found her to dog sit while me and my family were on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing every day. Couldn't be happier!”
“Jill was amazing with my dogs. She was able to help with only hours notice, and far exceeded our expectations. She provided daily updates, and made the separation easier for us as we moved into our new home. I completely recommend her and will use her again any time I need to leave town.”
“Bella loves to stay at Sandy’s. Bella had plenty of room to run in Sandy’s yard and she loved playing in the little wading pool that Sandy provided on the hot days during Bella’s stay. We had daily updates on Bella through pictures and video. Sandy is an awesome dog watcher and Bella is looking forward to her next stay!”
“I had an accident a few days ago I ended up unable to walk, needed a sitter asap but someone that I could trust my fur baby; Rachel cared of my baby since the day that I text her, took care of everything so I could get some rest, she’s the best, kept my baby playing and having so much fun! 5 stars is not enough, definitely going back to her whenever I need her again, God bless you for such a big heart❤️”
“We booked a drop-off time at 6am. Due to travel need, we asked to drop off about one hour earlier and Jenna allowed without hesitate. That was an early morning right after a busy July-4 evening. I really appreciate Jenna’s excellent servicing and would not hesitate recommending her.”
About: I have cared for many pets over the years and even worked as a vet technician for some time. I am keen to the needs of animals. I am a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I only spent a few hours away each day. I have a fenced in back yard and great neighborhood for walks. I have kids and two dogs so I will need to know if they are good with kids and other pets.
“This was my third attempt to book with her and it finally worked out. I have a senior pup and she was accommodating and wonderful to work with. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Tammi and her family were wonderful with my little girl Hazel. This was my first time using Rover and first time ever being away from Hazel. I was worried about being away from her, but she absolutely loved her time at Tammi’s. It was like she had her own little vacation. I received updates from Tammi on how Hazel was doing which was great. I think Hazel misses all of the other dogs she got to run around and play with. I can’t recommend Tammi enough and would not hesitate leaving Hazel in her care in the future.”
“She was very kind and attentive to our dog. I had to go on a long international trip, but she sent photos and updates the whole time. I definitely recommend her—thank you for your care.”
“We used Janice for the first time this weekend and I would absolutely recommend! She did an amazing job, kept me updated regularly and sent tons of pictures! She took care of our puppy like he was her own. We will definitely use again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rockdale home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rockdale.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rockdale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
