About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. I've watched over dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have had all sorts of pets from cats to dogs to birds. All have been lovely companions and precious members of my family. Each one has held a special place in my heart! ☺️ As a student living away from home, I deeply miss the daily joy of caring for dogs. Back home, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and a terrier mix, so I am very comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping them happily exercised. I also raised a sweet coonhound/basset hound mix, giving me a soft spot for gentle hounds. I am excited to bring that same love, patience, and dedicated care to your fluffy family members! My priorities for pets are Hygiene, Routines, and Care. Making sure pets are clean and comfortable, well fed, and well rested is most important! Ultimately, you know your furbaby best, so I am always completely open and attentive to any specific instructions or routines you request!

About: I’ve been around pets all my life. Whether it has been through friends, grandparents or neighbors, I have helped care for dogs and cats alike! I enjoy getting to help out and spend time with them. I am fairly available during the week days for a drop in as I work in the early mornings and late afternoons at IU. I am also available for evening drop ins after 5. I care for pets in my home just as I would my own pet! Drop ins would work best for me as I am in at apartment currently!

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 󠁺 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” 󠁺 Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. 󠁺 Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕‍🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

Very attentive and careful while walking my husky that hasn’t always been well behaved on a leash. He even tried working with her to reduce her pulling. Gave her all the attention she needed when she was missing her family! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.

About: I have always had a dog growing up. We lost baby to cancer in February and just wanted to keep sharing the love we had for him with others. My schedule is flexible, I am retired and love to share a nice backyard with a five foot fence, snuggle and kisses all day long. Depends on the needs of the dog. The goal is to keep them cared for in a safe environment. Just like they are at home.

About: Hi! I’m Janet. I provide a quiet, home-based boarding experience for dogs who do best in a relaxed environment rather than a busy kennel setting. I work from home full-time, so your dog receives plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs become part of the household and are welcome to relax on the furniture, follow me from room to room, or sleep wherever they are most comfortable, including the bed if that’s their normal routine at home. My home features a fully fenced yard with dog-door access, allowing dogs to move freely between indoors and outdoors throughout the day. My Home Is Best Suited For Dogs Who: • Are friendly, well-socialized, and non-aggressive • Have a calm to moderate energy level • Enjoy a quieter home environment • Are comfortable with free access to a fenced yard 🚫 Dogs I Do Not Accept For safety and compatibility reasons, I do not accept: • Dogs with a history of aggression toward people or animals • Dogs that jump fences, climb, dig out, or otherwise attempt to escape • High-drive or high-energy dogs that require constant activity • Pit Bulls, Pit Bull-type breeds, American Bullies, Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akitas, Wolf Hybrids, or mixes of these breeds I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. Just provide instructions and I’ll be happy to help. If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-based boarding experience where your dog can relax and receive individualized attention, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I maintain a consistent daily routine and try to keep each dog’s schedule as close as possible to what they’re accustomed to at home, including feeding times, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care instructions. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences before their stay. I also provide updates and photos during boarding so owners know how their dog is doing while they’re away.

About: I’ve worked with both cats and dogs in a humane shelter setting for multiple years, and I’m ready to meet and get to know your pet! I work full-time but mostly weekends and evenings. I have most weekdays off of work and am always available for a morning check-in for your pet. I am able to move pets between rooms and crate animals if needed in your home. I do not host pets for boarding at my own home.

Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.

About: Animal Lover and Canine Extraordinaire Hi, my name is Chasity Huff, and I am currently living in Terre Haute, IN. I am from Northwest Indiana, and I have a huge passion for animals. I am working toward becoming a vet assistant. I have worked at a vet hospital and at a horse stable. I get along with all animals big or small. It would be my privilege to take care of your precious pets for you and spoil them with love and affection. I walk big or small dogs. So give me a call or text, and let me take care of your awesome pets. :) I work my night job through Monday through Friday and every other weekend at 3pm to 11:30. If this is not a good time please let me know. My apartment doesn't allow pets, but I grew up always having dogs and miss my fur babies. Cocoa, my german shepherd-black lab mix passed away at the age of 15 in 2018. We grew up together. My chihuahua-beagle mix lives with my dad. She is a shy pup and lovely to snuggle with. When visiting my dad, I enjoy walking her all over the neighborhood. But today I have to settle for taking care of my plants, so I would love to hang out with your furry friend.

Rebekah was prompt, responsive, responsible, resourceful, so caring, considerate, proactive, took pictures to give us updates, & called us with questions. She helped figure out a solution when our puppies had escaped their pen while we were out of town. What a relief to have her there!

About: I've taken care of many pets in my lifetime, including pet and house sitting for family and friends. I love most animals (snakes scare me). I live in the last house on a dead end county road and have plenty of room for animals to play and have fun. Plus, my kids and our pets will have fun visiting and playing with your pets. I currently work weekends only as a RN. I am home Mondays-Thursdays. I do have 3 kids of my own, so I do have to get them to and from school. We have a large yard for pets to play. Dogs will always be on leashes as our yard is in currently fenced. We live in the last house on a dead end country road, so no cars come past our home. I can easily crate your pet if needed. We have a friendly female dog and 3 friendly cats.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have seen them like babies. Because that’s what fur babies are to me, children. So being able to help others with their babies is awesome to me! When it comes to my schedule I’m pretty flexible with what days and times I can do since I’m a student. I can also do weekends if necessary also. I can do whatever is needed to help your animal to make sure they are safe and get in the right amount of fun and care they need.

About: I've been taking care of dogs almost all my life. I've had so many different breeds in my lifetime. I love all kinds of animals but definitely have to say dogs are my favorite! I work on my time. I book cleanings and caregiving help to older adults. So if I have a job for sitting lined up I just don't accept any cleaning jobs. I do sitting, walking, and boarding. I can accommodate up to two large dogs and I have a safe area for walks and playtime. I also can come to pets home if needed to do potty breaks ect.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Spencer on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Spencer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Spencer 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 Spencer 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 Spencer with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spencer. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
