About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and when I started living on my own I realized they’re more important than I ever realized. I have a rescue pup who is very nervous but sweet. I am a graduate student in the home stretch of my degree, and I can use the money and the reason to get out of the house. I have a fenced in yard and a crate trained dog. I’m always good about on time flea/tick/heartworm and yearly vaccinations, as well as being educated in dog distress signs and illness signs.
“Molly was amazing with our cats! She was very communicative with us, gave our cats lots of love and care, and stayed longer when one of them started feeling unwell while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”
“We have been repeat customers of Grace, and she has consistently been fantastic. She is always responsive, caring, and genuinely attentive to Evie's needs. It's clear that she truly cares, and we appreciate her dedication and reliability. We highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate person!”
“Marek went above & beyond for my requests, he even wiped up the floor when it was raining. He brought & used HIS OWN towel for that. 10/10 would always use his services again!”
About: I am a certified dog groomer. I own five cats and have been taking great care of and feeding cats and dogs for my friends and family. I absolutely love animals! I’ll have ample time to play, feed, and walk with all of your furry companions! If you need anything else, feel free to reach out to me. My spacious and fenced backyard offers ample room for dogs to play, walk, and run freely. We’ll have plenty of space to explore and enjoy.
“Jessica is great! She took wonderful care of my kitty. She did daily drop ins to play with my kitty, ensure she had her food, litter management, and of course chin scritches. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
“Nicole was great to work with, especially since our travel plans changed at the last minute. She kept us updated on our diabetic cat, and even gave him his twice a day insulin shots. We would definitely book Nicole again.”
“Heather has watched my boys a few times now & always takes the best pics & leaves great summaries. She’s a true animal lover & I always come home to happy dogs 🩷 thanks again Heather!!”
“Amazing! Ariana put my mind at ease being away from my pup. She updated me every step of the way with pictures and sweet messages. My Indy enjoyed his stay and will be back!!”
“Marilyn did a great job doing drop-in visits for our dogs for a week. She was very responsive and took good care of them, sending lots of pictures and videos to us as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lauren helped me in a pinch for a last minute drop in. She was quick to do a meet and greet. My dog Ted was very excited to meet her and enjoyed his time with her during her drop in!”
About: We have had pets in our home since I was born and I have had my own personal pets since I was 12. I have given baths, walks, play time, trained puppies, etc. we have had animals of all ages and breeds. I am currently working full time 8-5 Monday to Friday close to downtown Indy. I have every weekend off. I can step out on a lunch break if needed depending on location and how long. I typically get an hour lunch. . We treat our pets and friends pets like they are family/children. Feed them for breakfast and dinner, then water as needed. Lots of treats of course!
“Tilmer is an excellent sitter! He took great care of my cats and provided detailed drop in updates. He sent photos and let me know how they were doing. He even took care of any messes they made in the kitchen and brought packages in for us. He’s very kind and the kitties loved him! Will definitely book with him again.”
“Our first time using Rover and it was an experience we’ll never forget. Tania got locked out of the house while we were two hours from home, she took matters in her own hands and took him home to her family with no question. She kept our baby until we got home and brought him home for us. I would 100 recommend this family to anyone looking for a sitter. We can’t thank you enough and will be seeing you again soon.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Southport
Molly provided exceptional drop-in care for our cat, Thomas, while we were away on vacation for a week. Thomas is a very affectionate house cat, but he’s usually hesitant around new people. I wasn’t sure if he would come out during her visits, but I needed someone responsible who would maintain his normal routine by providing fresh food and keeping his litter box clean. Molly exceeded every expectation. She sent us daily photos of Thomas enjoying snuggles and playtime with her, along with thoughtful updates about his behavior and how he was adjusting. It was clear she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing Thomas had companionship and comfort while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would recommend Molly to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter who is truly in tune with cats. She is a natural with them.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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.

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.
