The best part is knowing my girl is in good hands and being love. Highly recommend miss Mary to anyone who needs a someone loves animals.”

“Our doggies had a great time. They came back tired, clean, and happy. Ash and Michael were very accommodating with our flight schedule for drop off and pickup. Would definitely recommend and will book again.”
“Christine was a delight and I trusted her immediately with my dogs. She is obviously a dog person and I knew my pups were in good hands! I received picture updates and overall great communication! I am excited to have found Christine and know I no longer have to worry about my dogs when I plan a trip!”
“Kamela and her family took great care of our German Shepherd, Lucy. They were exceptional in their communication and care for our dog. We will definitely will be re-booking with Kamela!”
“William and his wife were incredible. Super nice humans and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They even let us have a little later pick up time due to an unfortunate circumstance with our flight canceling. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful care for my two pups while on vacation. I could tell by the updates and pics Julie sent me that my boys were happy and comfortable. So appreciative of your communication and flexibility.”
“Tonya was amazing ! Very communicative the entire stay . I was a bit on edge bring a new puppy around the others , however they were well trained & treated her like apart of the pack . Will be back and highly recommend for socializing your fur baby!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Bayley was absolutely wonderful with our dog Koda! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and sent us lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is clearly experienced and comfortable with big dogs, and we really appreciated how compassionate, patient, and kind she was with our pup. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. We would absolutely recommend Bayley and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bowen was communicative and very reliable. My dog has behavioral issues (severe separation anxiety and reactivity) and I’m hesitant to send him off, but Bowen made me feel very comfortable. Bowen even provided me extensive information around how I could help his anxiety as we continue training. He was extremely happy and showed no signs of stress (he typically does) when he returned to me. I will definitely use Bowen again and would highly recommend!”
“David was awesome with Bubba! He sent constant videos so I always knew Bubba was happy and in good hands. He even managed to get him to take his medicine when it was being difficult, which I really appreciated. Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and super helpful whenever I needed anything. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again!”
“I was so nervous like I always am when I dropped Lizzie (Mush) off! When Dita met us, Mushie didn’t bark at her or hesitate in going with her! Dita has a beautiful spirit and energy and Mush had to have felt it. Mush jumped in her arms and that was that! Dita was very communicative. She sent several videos and pictures and my baby girl looked happy! She met friends and got some socialization skills in. Dita was very responsive. Dita went the extra mile for me because it was a last minute booking and I had my flight times all mixed up and confused. Dita was very understanding and accommodating. My Mushie will definitely come back to play and visit. If I could give Dita a million stars, I would. Thank you Dita!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Victoria did a great job of putting us at ease. She sent updates/pictures of how he was doing and was quick to respond to any requests. We would definitely use her again if needed!”
“I came to meet Melissa about a week before the sit and my dog Lila felt comfortable with Melissa and her black lab who was all about fetching a ball. The location is perfect next to a wooded area with a spacious back yard. I very much appreciated Melissa comforting Lila when I was leaving because she gets anxious when being separated from her close family. She was a happy girl when I came to pick her up! I’ll definitely use Melissa’s service for future times when I’m traveling.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for them! With 4 years of pet care experience, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your fur babies. I’m a firm believer that pets are family, and they deserve just as much love, patience, and attention as anyone else. As a mom of two, I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your loved ones are in good hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I’d want for my own! I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I love animals and enjoy having them around throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure your fur baby is comfortable and well cared for. I also understand the importance of maintaining a routine and will do my best to stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to! I live in a comfortable apartment with plenty of room for pets to relax and feel at home! Although I don’t have a fenced backyard, dogs will be taken outside regularly for walks and potty breaks. Pets are welcome to get comfortable on the furniture, as long as that’s something their owners allow. Safety is extremely important to me, especially since I have children. I believe in respecting each animal’s boundaries, supervising interactions, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some animals, so I’ll do everything I can to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!
“Jill has watched my dogs on numerous occasions. She provides regular updates and photos. One of my dogs is a senior and requires some extra love and she makes sure he is comfortable.”
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southport
Travis & Alanah were so great! Very helpful making sure that it would be a good fit for the pups and flexible on drop offs. While we were gone we received daily pictures and updates and able to fully enjoy our vacation. Pups were clean and happy on pick up. Would definitely trust again. Thanks so much!
Things went great during my fur baby's stay. It was less than a 28 hour stay but Dorian sent an update and plenty of photos so I didn't have to worry.about how my girl was doing. Her home is well set up for pets with a decent yard that is fenced in and her personal dogs are friendly which I am sure makes any visiting pet more at ease with adjusting. I would not hesitate to request another booking with Dorian.
Savanna was a life saver over the holiday. We contacted her very last minute. Not only did she happily help us, but she took the best care of our fur baby. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the stay, and the communication could not have been better. We will definitely be using her again!

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 Southport 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 Southport.
Tip: 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 Southport 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.
