“Alexis was great with Bruno! I know he can be a lot to handle especially with his barking and his separation anxiety, but she worked with him and made it happen. Thank you so much! I would definitely book with her in the future!”

“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”

“Mindi did a great job. Gizmo needed extra care due to his age she handled it like a pro! Gizmo needed meds and used an inhaler and had an ear infection at the time. I highly recommend Mindi she is very attentive and takes special care when dog sitting!”

“Isabelle and Casey were amazing in taking care of Koji and Misty! They sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on everything they were doing. They even checked with us before leaving the dogs alone for a quick errand, which we really appreciated. They also have a sweet dog named Pepper, and Koji became friends with him right away. On top of that, they have a beautiful home with big backyard with plenty of space for the fur babies to roam around, play, and feel comfortable. Thank you so much, Izzy and Casey, for taking such wonderful care of Koji and Misty. We truly appreciate everything you did and wouldn't hesitate to book with you again!”

“I am so grateful to have found Nancy. I was nervous about leaving my dog, Mazi but this was the perfect place. Mazi is a rescue dog from a life of abuse and very timid and fragile. They were wonderful with her and their dogs were very sweet. The stream of photos sent were very reassuring. I am booking them again for a longer stay and can't express how grateful I am to have a save, loving place for Mazi to stay.”

“Alexis is a five star host without a doubt, and quite possibly a professional photographer in the making 😃. We received regular update (complete with pictures) of our dog on a regular basis. She was very accommodating and made our first experience with Rover an easy one. I would definitely recommend her, if you need someone to watch your pet!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them! I have experience caring for my own Goldendoodle, Ruger, and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. I currently work night shifts, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m home during the day and can be flexible with drop-offs, pick-ups, and care routines. I live in an apartment with several walking trails right in my backyard, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air, and exploring! In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, bathroom, and exercise routines so they feel right at home.

“Lauren and her family were great with Walter. She has a clean place, which puts comfort in my head. The other dogs and fenced in yard to make sure he had a place to get rid of his endless energy was a big deal. She had nothing but good things to say and was very easy to stay in contact with by sending pics and updates. We appreciate her business. ?”

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 Stafford Center 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 Stafford Center.

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 Stafford Center 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.
