“We are so thankful for Enid and Joe. Our two dogs fit right in. They learned how to even use a doggie door. I noticed a little change in them for the good. They communicate daily and send pictures which is wonderful. We will absolutely continue using them. Not only are they great with the dogs. They are really kind people. We are happy to call them new friends. Their dogs are sweet and used to being around other dogs. They are worth hiring to care for your dogs. Highly recommend! Thank you, Edin and Joe.”

“Tiffani was great with my Rudy. Treated him like her own. Great communication with me. Never worried for a minute that he wasn't having the best care. I know he had a great time because he was worn out when I picked him up. Not an easy thing to do with an active puppy like my Rudy. I would highly recommend Tiffani and will definitely have her look after him next time I am in town.”

“This was Lucy’s first extended stay with Andrew and Jane and they definitely treated her like one of their own. She got lots of love, snuggs, and playtime with her friends. Andrew and Jane sent loads of photos and video updates and were extremely accommodating when our travel was delayed and we needed a later pickup time. We will be using them for all of Lucy’s boarding and daycare needs.”

“Aricela was an awesome host. Both our cat and dog stayed with her for more than two weeks and returned home in great condition. Aricela sent daily pictures of each animal, and both appeared to be happy and enjoying themselves. Our family is greatly appreciative of the care Aricela provided to our animals while we were out of town.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.

“Edna was AMAZING! I have 2 senior doxies and 1 has very bad eye sight. She took her time with them especially my doxie with the bad eye sight who moves slow. I recommend her to anyone and will rebook with her again. She was also nice to provide pictures and updates while they were staying with her. That was nice.”

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for my family and friend's pets such as dogs, cats, fish and guinea pig for the past 30 years. I currently have a 95 pound pitty mix and love him to pieces! I work full time and have my own family but am committed to being an awesome, long time pet sitter for you, the one you continue to request! I look forward to adding your fur babies to my schedule and am signing up because I have the time. I am committed to caring your pets as if they are my own. I will nurture their sense of play, curiosity, social interaction within a safe and caring manner. I am committed to making them feel safe at all times to lower their anxiety of you being gone. I will share videos and photos of your fur babies to bring you joy and comfort while away. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure my pets are fed, have fresh water, receive regular exercise and attention, and that their living areas are kept clean. I also make time each week for grooming, playtime, and any necessary appointments or errands. I’m very consistent and responsible when it comes to caring for pets, and I enjoy making sure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My dog is spoiled, he is allowed on all furniture and beds. He goes on trips with us and has sleep overs with some of my sons friends. I have more than enough love to give my dog and your animals!!

I am a reliable and trustworthy mom and fur mom that works full time in the community and is looking for a fun side job :) I work full time but have a very flexible schedule! Message me and let’s chat to figure out what days/times are needed. Our family would provide your dog all the love and attention they need!

About: I am a registered nurse with a passion for animals of all kind. I have Years of obedience and agility training with dogs and 20 plus years with horses! I have the options of in house or barn boarding/ combos throughout the day depending on what your dog prefers!!! In house would be access to my family and all home luxuries! The barn is a 10x12 kennel with matted stalls and access to a huge outdoor play lot. My dog yard is a spacious 1/2 acre and fully fenced! Your dogs will see a horse and donkey in the pasture behind the yard! Safety comes first inside of my home as I do have children. Let your pup come have some fun! Living the farm animals are my life! I am a mother and work a few flexible short nursing shifts here and there so home A LOT! I have a secure and sturdy fenced in yard with lots of room to roam around. When I am home they can be in or out as much as they please! Free range while I’m not home just dog dependent. If your dog prefers to be outside in the kennel with access to fresh air while needing a safe space while I’m away for a minute that’s an option too! Again dog dependent as safety is my priority but we love hikes, walks and outings which they are more than welcome to join in on!

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 Rutland home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rutland.

<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 Rutland 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 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 .

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.
