“Eli is a very warm and professional pet sitter. He handled our quirky, creaky senior with great care and gave our new spicy chi space and patience. I appreciated his thorough notes and will use him again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, from my friends to family all having different breeds of dogs! I am very active, so dogs with lots of energy and needing lots of walks are no problem for me! I have dog sit before. I have a love for all animals and whatever comes with them. I am currently working a summer job, mainly all day, but I have no problem waking up early to walk a pet before work or after work, even during lunch! My weekends are normally always free! And Fridays I can tend to the pet more due to having half days. I do not offer services at my house due to having cats who are shy. But in my clients home I will do anything they need me to do regarding their pet. It is my job to make sure their furry baby is in the best hands!
“Kayla was great! We booked her super last minute but she was able to come for a met and greet right away. Our boys are old and need a lot of additional care than the normal dog and cat and Kayla went above and beyond. I will be using her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Heather while we were away on vacation. She took excellent care of our dog and gave us peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable and caring hands. We especially appreciated the thoughtful photo updates she sent, which made us smile and helped us feel connected while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dog's happiness and well-being during each visit. We would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Paris was an awesome care taker of my fur babies! She is very thorough in her communication with us about her time with our babies. We enjoyed and loved all the pictures she took of them while in her care. We highly recommend Paris to dog sit. She is trustworthy and my babies love her!”
“Cailin was SO good with my little girl Kona. I was hesitant about using an app for something like this, but Cailin made it so easy! I was updated when she got there, during the visit, and when she left. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Bridget is wonderful! She has watched our two dogs several times now, and she is consistently professional, communicative, and most importantly great with the pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Danielle cuddled with my babies and it was definitely nap time because they were monkeys earlier!! I think they’re going to get warmed up to her right away. They are a good little bunch, but I’m sure they will test her too. So far / so good!”
“Lauren was amazing! I felt so comfortable having her in my home. She gave me peace of mind that my cat was not alone and well taken care of while I was out of town working. Would recommend and use her again.”

“Maddie is the best! My boyfriend uses her services for his dogs because he often travels for work, so when I needed someone to take care of my cats when I was out of town, I knew Maddie was the answer. She loves animals and is so kind to them. It is nice knowing I have someone I can trust my babies with when I cannot be there.”

“Debbie was fantastic. Looks like our miniature golden doodle “Princess” adopted Debbie. The picture of Princess laying on the couch with Debbie by her says it all. I highly recommend her and will ask for her again.”

Today was Joy’s very first day taking care of Winston, our sweet 11-week-old puppy, and we are absolutely thrilled with how everything went! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be booking Joy again to care for Winston! 🐾✨
Kim, went above and beyond caring for Yogi. She is very experienced with dogs and we are so thankful for her. We were so pleased how she wanted to make sure Yogi was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Thank you Kim for everything we are so lucky to have you.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Schererville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Schererville 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Schererville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
