“Elizabeth and her husband, Josh were excellent caretakers for our pup, Huxley. He was so well cared for and ready to nap from all the fun he had once he returned home. We will reach out to them again when we need care.”
“A couple of weeks ago, I had to leave town for two weeks due to work, and I had my sitter at the time cancel the day before I was set to leave town. I had never used Rover before, but I found Melissa and Jonathan on the app at the last minute and decided to give it a try. Despite the short notice, they immediately agreed to a meet-and-greet that same night before I had to leave. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and understanding from the very beginning. Their space was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for my pet’s needs. Throughout the entire stay, they kept in touch with me on a daily basis by sending updates and pictures, and they were always quick to let me know if they had any concerns. I am very grateful that I was able to trust them with my pet, especially on such short notice and I would happily have them care for my pet again in the future. They are a hardworking, wonderful, and loving family, and I highly recommend them!”
“In our first visit, Sean was great with Opal. She got over her leash reactive response in just 5 minutes and had a wonderful time playing all night with two new friends. We look forward to lots more visits with Sean. Strongly recommend.”
“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”
“Missy was a wonderful dog sitter! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such kind and capable hands. I would gladly book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“They took great care of our pups during the holidays. We are very grateful for them!! They kept us updated while we were away, we would rebook with them and highly recommend:)”
About: For me, pet sitting on Rover is so much more than a job—it is a true passion rooted in 30 years of dedicated animal care experience. Over the decades, I have had the absolute joy of looking after all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. I know firsthand that every single pet is a cherished family member with their own unique personality and routine. Because of this lifelong background, I am incredibly adaptable; I know exactly how to keep up with a high-energy puppy, gently comfort a shy senior cat, or carefully manage specialized feeding schedules for your pets. I treat every animal in my care exactly how I would want my own pets to be treated: with endless patience, safety, and deep affection. Leaving a pet can be stressful for owners, so I always leverage my decades of experience to prioritize clear communication, reliability, and daily updates that give families complete peace of mind. I am fully confident in my ability to connect with and care for any type of pet, and I am dedicated to making sure both you and your companion feel completely safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work as a handy-man so my hours are flexible enough to need your pets every needs from stopping by and playing multiple times a day to sitting with them all day and night. I also have an animal friend home with pleanty of play area and 1 acre of fenced in yard for them to play. My 3 dogs and 3 cats welcome any animal into the household with open paws. My gentle giant st. Bernard and German shepherd are rough enough to play tug of war with the biggest of dogs but gentle enough to cuddle and protect a 5lb teacup Yorkie.
“She did an amazing job looking after our girl over 4th of July weekend. Couldn't recommend Jen enough. Will definitely be requesting her again in the future.”
“Maria is an amazing sitter and I will be referring all my friends to her. She always makes gays very happy! He is always in a great mood when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. And when I am away she updates me daily.”
“I had my two poodles, Zoey & Dusty stay with Brooke for eleven days. She sent me pictures every day and both of them were very happy. They played, ate and took naps. Brooke is a real dog lover. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.”
“Ciara was amazing with my dog Nola. It was like a mini dog vacation. Seems like my dog bonded well with her dog and others during her stay. Ciara communicated daily with pictures and daily activities without me even having to reach out! Will definitely use her again!”
“Took very good care of my babies while staying at his place. Was very resourceful and patient when my Pickles decided to play the hiding game and then started getting agressive. I appreciate Roy for watching and keeping my babies safe during the day.”
“Ebony looked after Sir Loin after a last minute booking for his first time staying at a dog sitter. She was very professional throughout the entire process and provided updates during Sir Loins stay and made sure to address any concerns I had about his first time away from home. Sir loin came home very happy and relaxed and obviously had a good time! I definitely recommend Ebony if you want to have your dog staying at a happy caring family home and the peace of mind that your dog is in good hands!”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“Amanda was very professional, I was very nervous leaving Sir. Winston who is deaf and partly blind. Within a few minutes of watching Winston get yo know his two new friends I was satisfied of the chose I made. Amanda took any photos of Winston during his two day stay and keep good communication between us during the stay to easy my loneliness while missing Winston. I will use Amanda for all my future boarding needs and look forward to many more stays. Looking for a great dog boarder who is professional and loves dogs as much as you do; then look no further Amanda is your choice.”
“Renee and Gary did a great job. Goofus was not anxious on drop off at all. Renee and Gary welcomed her and made her feel at ease. I could tell by the frequent pictures that were sent. Goofus was enjoying herself Thanks for the great care and the treat you sent home. Goofus”
“Sarah, Daniel and their beautiful children did a fantastic job at making our Smokey feel loved and cared for while we were away. They sent pictures daily and updates so I could see how he was doing. They even discovered a dual feature on the cat bed that we missed! 10/10 for sure. Whenever we go out of town I will be sending Smokey to them…that is if they are not already booked??”
About: I have always had dogs inside my household growing up so I am knowledgeable in taking care of pets. I currently take care of my parents dog and even have a few other friends I dog sit for on occasion. I regularly take care of my parents dog and I regularly take him for walks, feed him on a regular schedule and ensure his water bowl is full. I love the company of any dog as I live alone and have no children. I have a clean home where a dog cannot easily access things that they should not be. I love getting out for exercise so they will have walks and play time. I also work from home and can work from any home if need be. This makes it very easy to let dogs out for potty breaks and make sure they are fed and have water.

Allison & Kenny were great! They made drop off & pick up so easy & stress-free. Gigi loved her stay with their family & must have had a great time, she was worn out when we got her home, lol! They were easy to communicate with, from the meet & greet to the drop off & pick up, sent me lots of pictures & updates. I would most DEFINITELY feel great about leaving Gigi in their care again, 100%. Thank you so much!

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 Saint Marys 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 Saint Marys.
<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 Saint Marys 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.
