About: I’ve been around countless of animals since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of my friends’ cats more times than I can count as well as their dogs throughout the years. I’m very caring, a quick learner and very attuned to detail. Your pet will be in great hands! I just move into town so my availability is pretty open. I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pet with the schedule that works best for you! I always make sure that all animals that I take care of have every single one of their needs met. If they need extra play time, a specific way that they need to take their medication, or if they have a preferred way to approach them. Making them feel comfortable is my top priority. :)
“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 am a certified animal lover! I have cared for friends’, family’s, and co-worker’s dogs, including over night and extended stays. I worked as a volunteer at Pet Refuge for over 2 years, where we assisted with enrichments, walks, feeding, medication administration, etc., for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In my experience in pet and child care, I care for them like they are my own! ❤️ And with that being said, you can have peace of mind knowing I am making sure all needs are met and paying attention to every detail! I currently work Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. So, as of now, I am free only in the evening or on the weekends. HOWEVER, come mid-June I will no longer have that time commitment and will be free thoughout the daytime as well. I have been a babysitter for the same family for 10 years. I have done many overnights in their home over the years, which also has included taking care of their Shiba inus! Not only have I taken care of their 5 kids and 3 dogs, but I’ve also either baby, dog, or house sat for their parents and siblings, which I believe is a testament to the respect and quality care I strive to provide.

With my flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation, I’m able to pick up your fur babies in my car to take them to appointments or on adventures to the local parks. As an in home caregiver, I’m trusted by my clients with their loved ones in their homes, and would be available for both house sitting and house cleaning services. I know how much your pets mean to you; they’re the reason you work as hard as you do, and it would be my privilege to get to know them and to give them the best care possible.

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.
“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: 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.
About: Hi there! I’m Ada— a lifelong animal lover with over 17 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve grown up with larger dogs in my family for all of my 18 years of life! Whether it’s a high-energy husky or a shy senior pug, I tailor every walk or visit to your pet’s unique needs and personality. I understand how important it is to feel confident in your pet’s care while you’re away, so I make it my mission to keep them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I’m always on time, easy to reach, and happy to send photo updates after every walk! Please feel free to reach out! Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine, even though my part-time job schedule changes week to week. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know exactly when I’m free. Most weeks, I’m available for morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekends I’m very open. I’m always happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet is cared for when you need it. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for at all times. When pets stay with me, they’ll be in a clean, calm environment where they can relax and be themselves. I don’t have other pets, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods. I follow your care instructions closely and I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. When walking or visiting pets in your home, I take the same care: checking gates, leashes, and surroundings to keep everything safe. I treat every animal with patience and respect, and I know how important it is to earn both your trust and your pet’s.
About: Prior to college I worked Noah's Caring Hands on Sunnyside Road as a pet care specialist. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I am experienced in all ranges of dog/cat ages and needs. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
