This was our first time using Rover for house sitting and it was worth it! Taryn is so sweet, she kept us updated on our pets and sent us plenty of pictures. We had a meet and greet prior to booking but of course my pets loved her! I knew my babies were in the best hands and look forward to booking with Taryn again! ?

Eli was great and extremely professional. He stayed with my 67 pound pitbull (Tank) all day and took great care of him and played with him. I definitely recommend booking Eli and will use his services in the future.

About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!

About: Growing up with 5 dogs in my mom's house at all times, I can assure you I know how to handle whatever situation arises and your dog will be showered with care and affection! I am currently a student at IU Bloomington with a pretty open schedule so I am free whenever your furry friend needs me! My weekends are pretty free, especially during the day! I live in the dorms as an RA so the settings make it available for me to walk, check-in, or board your pup at your house

Samantha was amazing! She took such great care of all our pets. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home. This was also a last minute booking since our sitter bailed on us and she really saved the day. She sent lots of updates and pics too so we could see all our babies being well care for. We’ll absolutely use her service in the future.

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.

She was very responsive and easy to work with. Kept us updated on any issues or events that we needed to know about, and with the extra step to bring in our mail while we were gone. Our pups were greatly cared for, and we would absolutely book her again

I highly recommend Maddie. She watched my cats Julius and Junior for a week doing frequent drop ins through out the day. She send me pictures and kept open communication through out the week. I appreciated that!. She went above and beyond with their care, from basic needs cleaning little box, feeding twice a day, to wiping their eyes due to flat faces, play time and cuddles on the couch. I felt at ease the entire trip knowing my fur babies got exceptional care. She was professional, showed up as promised daily on time, locked doors and left everything in place as was. I will 100% be reaching back out for future trips to Maddie.

About: I am an experienced in-home/travelling dog sitter. Having dogs of my own, I realize the convenience and relief I feel when I know that my dog will be cared for in her own environment should we be away. I started off helping out a friend by watching her dog when she went on vacation, and have been dog sitting for over 20 years now. In addition, we have always had a family dog. Most recently our dogs have included Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. I have no breed bias, although my experience has primarily been with larger dogs. I love pets of all sort. I have also had cats and guinea pigs. I would be honored to help you by watching your fur baby. I have recently completed a certification in cat and dog first aid through the American Red Cross. Thanks for considering me! I currently work remote for my full time job, so that will allow me to spend quality time with your pet during the day as well as evenings for pet sits. It also provides me the flexibility to help out with occasional drop ins or walks. I will visit prior to the first event (drop in, walk or pet sit) to review the pet’s routine and any special instructions you may have for me. I want you to be able to provide direction and feel totally comfortable leaving your pet in my care.

About: I have been around all sorts of animals since I was a baby. I had a German shepherd growing up. Now I own a hound mix who is very energetic and keeps me busy which I like. While I was in college I worked at my teams stable and took care of my coaches horses, chickens, and her donkey. Since I own a dog of my own, pet care is in my every day life. I am a server at Dante’s house of pizza. Even with my busy work schedule I still have plenty of time to take my own dog to the park, walk him, and play with him. I want to share my love by taking care of other peoples animals. I can ensure them that their furry friends will be safe in my care. My dog’s name is Gino and he loves being outdoors whenever we can be. He loves going on walks with other dogs. He is really happy when I take him to my friend’s house to play with their dogs. My dog is very spoiled and gets to snuggle up with me in bed. I am responsible to take him to the vet when he needs his yearly check up. I make sure he is well groomed and well fed.

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm a full time college student and have a part time job. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.

Andrew is a godsend. We've had him to sit for our Rhodesian ridgeback and our Staffy twice, for 4 days and 10 days, respectively, and we have both times come back to 2 happy and healthy dogs, who looked at us like we had only been gone a short while. They had neither gained stress weight nor become too skinny, and we could tell Andrew had been diligent taking them out frequently. He had mixed in their favorite food toppers and given them their medicine as we asked. He is a kind person, and you can tell he thinks deeply about things, and people's and pets' feelings. He even swept and tidied up, got our mail from our mailbox, and had our packages all neatly inside. He is as the proverb says, a good traveler who leaves no mark, leaving our house exactly as, if not better than, he found it. I can't say enough about the peace of mind Andrew has given us, especially the second time, since we already knew we could trust him. We were able to go to Disney World and have a truly magical time because we knew he was caring for our dogs and our house as we would have done.

Was very pleased from the meet and greet through the fur baby sitting time. It snowed and Becca kept an area shoveled for the dogs to go outside and shoveled the front for us to return . Everything seemed the same as we left it and the dogs were very happy to see us but not in an anxious manner. They got along well. Would definitely have Becca back again.
