“We have had Craig watch our Goldendoodle twice now and he does a fantastic job! Charlie is always calm and happy when we return home! We get updates and photos of how he is doing. Such a good feeling to know he is home and well cared for when we have to be away!”


“Tracy is so awesome, in fact I think Banner likes Tracy more than he likes me now. The updates I get while I'm at work are so reassuring and just make my day. I highly recommend and appreciate Tracy.”



“Linda is very trustworthy and dependable. She sends detailed summaries about our pets and is easy to contact and book with. We have used her services before and will continue to book with her whenever needed. Thanks, Linda!”


“This is the second time I’ve booked with Lisa, I’m so thankful she could watch over my pets while I was out of town. She’s such a lifesaver! I’ll be using her again I’m sure!”


“Paris has been an amazing help with our new kitten. Bill was too young to be left alone, but with our jobs we were unable to be as present for him as he needed. Paris not only has shown a great deal of care for him and our dog, but she has given us advice when we have asked for it or otherwise needed it, and genuinely cares about our pets. She is also very communicative and has been a pleasure to work with and we are sure she will continue to be as we continue having her care for our pets.”


“We love Hannah! She is reliable, consistent, and prioritizes availability. She is also an excellent communicator, and our dog, Bella, loves her!! We are SO grateful for Hannah and know Bella will be well taken care of with her!”


“Jennifer takes great care of my boys. I never worry about them when she is taking care of them. I get great pictures and status updates each day. The only drawback is that when I do come home, they look around me to see if Jennifer is following me. Lol”


“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”


“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”


About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!

About: I have always grown up with animals! I have had dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, rabbits, chinchillas, fish, and most likely more that I just cant remember! I love animals. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. My one dog was adopted was from ASPCA as a 3 legged dog. This does not slow her down! She loves playing and running. My other dog was adopted from an Amish family as a puppy. She loves to play as well. Both dogs enjoy chasing after my children, playing catch, tug a war, cuddling, going for walks and lots of belly rubs. I also have a cat that loves to cuddle and be loved on. He loves chasing after toys that move and relaxing in his cat tower. I used to own at dog that sadly passed away 2 years that I owned since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she got external cancer on her leg. I had to give her medicine several times a day, wash her wound twice a day, and prepare homemade meals for her. I currently work part time for a school from 9am-230pm so I will have plenty of time before and after that and on weekends to care for your pets. I love taking pets on walks, to the dog park, or just cuddling on the couch. I can drop in to your house as much as needed.

About: We are new to Rover, and ready to meet your furry family member! I’ve spent my life around dogs and had the privilege of raising my own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. I tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime. My husband and I work full-time, and we work together to care for your dog during early afternoons through the evenings on weekdays, as well as full days on weekends. We team up to provide consistent, loving attention for your dog. Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.

About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.

About: I take care of my brothers dogs and friends dogs while they’re out of town. I also have a cat and a Doberman that want love and attention constantly. I love all animals and I haven’t met one that doesn’t love me! I recently started my own business and I’m still building my clientele, so I have random days/times of the day that I’m free to spend walking dogs! I love animals and exercise Looking forward to walking pets and dropping by for check ins if you need me to! I love dogs and cats and have tons of experience with both

“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”


About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors, family, friends, and referrals for 10 years. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, cats, and reptiles. I also have experience with deaf, blind, and elderly dogs. I’m currently working PRN as a nurse so I have plenty of time to hang out with your babies! I’m available from early morning to late evening on most days :) The majority of my pet sitting experience has involved staying in other people’s homes to care for their fur babies while they are on vacation.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and have experience with young pers and senior animals! I love getting to know that they are well taken care of. I love to be able to spend my free time with animals and working with them, whether that be pet sitting, walking, or just hanging out with them! In homes, I will make sure that pets are able to use the bathroom as they please, and I will follow the feeding schedule provided to me. I will use only treats that are provided, and use them sparingly!

About: I’ve had dogs for many years. I also have done pet care for dogs and cats. I have worked at the zoo. I’ve had a bird and fish. I love reptiles and have cared for an iguana and snakes. I work full time as a teacher but would be available after school and on weekends. I could even do early mornings possibly if discussed. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I would follow any guidelines set by the owner for safety. I am very careful that animals do not escape because I know how that feels.


About: Let me treat your fur baby as you do your own. Leaving your pet behind can be stressful for you and your dog. Let me ease that experience by pampering your pup and treat them like family! I have a very comfortable home and do not take more than one client at a time so your pup will receive my full attention. Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do (routines etc) with your pet so I can make the experience extra special.:) Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a very open and flexible schedule! I’m available for daytime walks, drop-ins, overnights, and weekend boarding. I love being able to devote my time and energy to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. A typical day includes plenty of playtime, outdoor walks, cuddle sessions, and enrichment activities like puzzle toys or training games (if your pet enjoys those!). I tailor every day to your pet’s energy level—whether that means a relaxing day with naps or a more active one filled with fetch and adventures.

Rachel G.
“Rachel was such a great dog sitter! i hate leaving my dogs behind when i travel but knowing that Rachel was there with them put me at ease. while i was gone, out of state for four days, she communicated constantly with little updates about my 2 dogs (a 13 year-old lab and 10 year-old corgi). my dogs were both on separate, special diets and one is especially prone to health problems. Rachel was incredibly responsible and did a great job keeping them healthy and safe. i returned home to a clean house and 2 happy, healthy puppies! i would absolutely hire her again! ”
