“Kim was very good managing all of the dogs I left home while traveling to dog shows. They all seemed happy and healthy when I got home. Everything was clean as I had left it. I will definitely be hiring Kim again!”

Beth B.

“Elizabeth took excellent care of our cats while we were on vacation. They were even played with each day. We will be using this service again. It’s nice to remove the worry of how your pets will be cared for during the absence. Thank you!!!”

“Janet was so good with our dog! During the initial meeting she immediately warmed right up to her and I knew I had nothing to worry about. As they always say dogs are a great judge of character. We received updated messages & pictures which always kept us feeling well informed our baby girl was being well taken care of. Definitely going to being requesting Janet’s services again.”

Kimberly H.

“She was friendly and came on time and she clearly enjoys animals, but my door was left unlocked and I didn't get any photos, possibly because she is new to rover”

About: I have a few years of experience house-sitting for dogs. During these visits, I take the dogs on walks, make sure they are fed, play with them, and provide companionship. I also am comfortable spending the night to be there for the dog at all hours. Most recently, I was a volunteer dog walker for Indy Humane, and have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs. This is a summer job for me so I am extremely flexible! I can work at any hour and any day of the week except Sundays, but will make exceptions for multiple night stays. I care for dogs by keeping them on a leash when there is not a fenced in space. I also make sure they get adequate exercise and love while their owners are away.

“Mary is amazing! Our dogs loved her, and she gave us peace of mind while we were out of town.”

April P.

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”

About: I love fur babies! Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable. During the week I would like to schedule regular evening walks, drops ins, or boarding. And weekends I am completely available. I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard! I am a very adventurous, outdoors person so if your dog is energetic I will be out there finding out what your dog enjoys to do, whether it be being chased, catching a ball, or just being curious and walking the neighborhood if you’re baby plans on hanging out with me I would definitely keep he/she active! I am currently working Monday-Thursdays, with a very flexible schedule! I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime throughout the day, but I will be able to give more devoted time for boarding typically Thur thru Sunday. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and feel at home! My family will live on your pets as if they are our own!

About: Hi, my name is Mariah. I have two pets of my own, 1 puppy named Lake and 1 cat named mango 💙🥭. I have two years experience caring for animals in a professional setting at a animal hospital. My biggest take away from that job was learning the importance of communicating with the customers and making sure their pets were always a priority. As pet owners we don’t always feel like our pets come first and that can be a very uneasy feeling. All animals deserve people with the right intentions and when finding the right person to take care of your pets you deserve to be able to relax knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and being treated well. Your pet will be top priority in my care and will be treated as my own. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. I can follow raw food or special diet recipes. I am very detail oriented and can keep your pet on their daily routines, such as meal plans, and medication, exercise, etc. Requirements: I ask that your pets be up to date on vaccines and their flea and tick prevention, especially puppies they MUST have their dewormer, parvo, and distemper. I will not take a risk of getting my other animals sicks. I currently work full time Monday through Friday (7am-3pm.) I have open availability after 3 pm on the week days. My weekends are open availability. I have two outdoor runs, 40x50 outdoor enclosed fence for outdoor time. I also have multiple crates that can be utilized in emergency situations or for comfortability as some dogs just like using crates as a safe place to relax and decompress. I have two playpen areas in the garage that are great for puppies that I can bring inside. If there is a reactive dog in the bunch I will separate and place the reactive dog in another room to avoid fights. Your dog will be walked and engaged with while being outside as I try to make this a fun activity for my dog and a chance for him to get his energy out. For cats I would prefer to offer service at the owners house due to already having a cat and knowing she doesn’t like sharing her space with cats and prefers her own cat room.

“I really appreciate Devin’s availability and willingness to respond to me when I blew up her phone ;) I literally could not find a pet sitter in this area that would respond to me. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs, and so it was nice to have someone who responded so quickly. (On a semi-unrelated note to pet sitting, she also took really cute pictures of my dogs which was helpful to my daughter while we were gone).”

About: I've been around animals my entire life, and do this for the joy of interacting with a variety of pets. I like to take walks and play at the park, and believe all pets deserve as much love, respect, and attention as a child or loved one would receive. I'm able to send live updates, GPS locations, and photos to ensure peace of mind during your pet's stay with me! I'm experienced with all sizes, levels of training and energy, and have a clean and safe home in a residential area close to several parks. I have reliable transportation to drive to your home or give your pet a car ride, and will gladly cater to any of your needs/preferences for how you would like your furry friend to be handled. I am a full time pet lover and can care for pets all week long! Contact me for availability details. I'm looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s) I am a big believer in communication. I can send updates and pictures of your pet as requested, and your pets comfort and safety are my top priority.

About: This isn’t “watching,” it’s enrichment. I’m home full-time, comfortable with giant breeds, and working toward a dog-training certificate. I don’t have pets of my own—so let me “borrow” yours. 🙂 Why it’s premium Toys galore: fetch, tug, chew, puzzles, snuffle mats, flirt pole—rotated and sanitized. Daily enrichment: scent games + short training reps (sit/down/place, leash manners). Real routine: 4+ outdoor breaks, play blocks, naps, calm evening wind-down. Senior-smart: slow walks, extra potty breaks, meds as directed. Safety & house rules No mixing different client households. Group play allowed only for dogs from the same household and only with owner approval. Crate only if your dog already uses one or needs it to decompress—otherwise no crate. No off-leash outside secure areas. Toys inspected/cleaned; high-value items managed; feeding done separately. Calm, low-stim environment; fully supervised play; I end sessions at the first sign of stress/arousal. A typical day Morning potty → breakfast → enrichment/training → rest. Midday walk/play → puzzle/lick-mat → nap. Late-day yard time or walk → dinner → relaxed engagement → bedtime potty. What I need to know Potty status, triggers, allergies, meds, feeding schedule, crate habits, separation issues, resource-guarding. Bring food, harness/leash, and a comfort item from home. Services Boarding / Daycare: enrichment-focused structure and play. Walks / Drop-Ins: potty, feed, tidy, quick manners tune-ups. Training add-on (optional): 15–30 min focused sessions on your priority cues. Updates Clear photo/video updates with honest notes on meals, potty, rest, and what we worked on. Bottom line: premium, toy-rich, 1:1 care—safe, structured, and tailored to your dog. Currently home full-time. I take dogs out generally about 4 times or more if needed. They will be well-loved. Bring their favorite toy so I can play with them with it. They will be walked every other day health permitting. I generally prefer dogs, but I love all animals.I don't have any animals of my own right so let me "borrow" yours. ;) I care for dogs, cats. I generally like to train them as well with simple commands to make your life simpler. I am currently pursuing a certificate in dog training.

About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.
