“I am very grateful to Jasmine for taking care of my baby and for making me feel at ease, knowing she is well looked after. This is the second time my baby has stayed at Jasmine’s house, and just like the first time, Jasmine has been very attentive with both Mercy and me. I’ve received photos and videos where my baby looks happy, well-cared-for, and spoiled.”

“We felt very comfortable leaving our Scottie, Finnley with Hugh. From the first contact, communication was easy and efficient. Since Finnley is selective with humans, we met with Hugh several days before leaving Finnley. There were no issues, so that indicated that Finny approved of Hugh which is important to us. Hugh sent pictures and texts of how things were going so we were well informed. We would leave Finny with Hugh again when needed.”

About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.

About: Hi! I’m Alana 😊 I provide reliable, attentive care so your pet can stay comfortable while you’re away. I started volunteering at a humane society in middle school and later gained hands-on experience shadowing veterinary technicians at IndyVet. This helped me learn how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, pit bulls, cats, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and personalities. I now have three miniature dachshunds of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own! I work full time throughout the week. I am typically available during the evenings on Monday - Thursday, and then all day on Friday - Saturday! Because I have three dogs of my own, I prefer to have your dogs come to my home for overnight sitting. I understand how important our furry friends are and how difficult it can be to be away from them. That’s why I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time. Knowing their routines, preferences, and personality helps me create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience pet sitting both dogs and cats. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I also have experience administering medecine and providing special diets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I love animals and taking care of them comes naturally to me. Since I’m currently on summer break from college, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just providing companionship, I’m happy to make pet care a regular part of my routine. I have a fence and two dogs to keep your dog company while pet sitting at my house, and I always make sure to follow instructions and provide updates. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and comfort while their owners are away. When in a client's home, I make sure to keep the house tidy.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the level of personalized care, attention to detail, and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t just show up to feed and walk—I take time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and special needs. Whether it's a shy cat who needs extra patience, a high-energy dog who loves long walks, or a senior pet with medication needs, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and loved. Pet care fits beautifully into my retired routine because I now have the time and flexibility to truly dedicate myself to it. Each day, I enjoy starting my morning with a walk or play session with the pets in my care—it keeps me active and gives structure to my day. Throughout the week, I schedule pet visits or overnight stays around my personal commitments, allowing me to be reliable and fully present for both the pets and their owners. Caring for animals brings me joy, purpose, and a sense of companionship, which is a wonderful complement to my retired lifestyle. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply offering comfort and company, I enjoy making each pet feel safe and loved while their families are away. Caring for your pet in their own home helps them feel safe, secure, and relaxed while you're away. Here's what I provide to make sure they receive the best care possible: 🐾 Familiar Routine I follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and medications. Keeping things consistent helps reduce stress and keeps your pet happy. 🐾 Individualized Attention Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to meet their unique needs—whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or special handling for seniors or shy pets. 🐾 Safety & Wellness I monitor your pet’s health and behavior during each visit, and I’ll contact you right away if I notice anything out of the ordinary. Their safety is always my top priority. 🐾 A Clean & Comfortable Space I make sure food and water bowls are clean and full, litter boxes are scooped, and accidents are cleaned up promptly. Your home stays tidy, and your pet stays comfortable. 🐾 Communication & Peace of Mind You’ll receive regular updates with photos and notes so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being well cared for—even when you’re away.

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 Stony Lonesome 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 Stony Lonesome.

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 Stony Lonesome 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.
