“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! When I got home, my cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by taking out all of our trash before we returned, which was such a thoughtful surprise. It’s the little things like that that make a huge difference. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I am Nilly, I am a certified Medical Assistant. I went to Middle Tennessee State University for my bachelor in psychology and I have received my MA certification through Vanderbilt University. My experience in healthcare has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, responsible, and gentle when caring for others—qualities I bring into every pet-sitting experience. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been something very close to my heart. I’ve grown up with German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, and Corgis, so I’m familiar with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and individual needs. Dogs have always brought me so much joy, and I truly love spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your furry family member. I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I would be honored to care for your four-legged family members while you’re away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is flexible and depends on each client’s needs. I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, whether that includes daily visits, walks, feeding, or overnight care. I’ll plan my schedule accordingly to make sure your furry family members receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also respect each client’s home and follow any specific instructions to ensure their furry family members receive personalized care while their owners are away.

“Olivia was wonderful with our pups while we were out of town. She was prompt with responding to any questions I had leading up the day of our departure, and was communicative while we were gone. She also sent me pictures of our dogs which was nice to see. She meshed really well with our dogs during a meet and greet so I had no doubt they’d warm up to her. She was also very generous in tidying up things like dishes, folding up any blankets used on the couch, and watered the plants for me. I am looking forward to booking her again!”

“Norah is personable and reliable, and took good care of our home and two dogs for six days. When our husky mix turned down dinner and Norah observed her eating grass, she was right on top of things, immediately texting to ask if we had medication for an upset stomach (which we do). Norah was good-natured and patient with our doodle mix, who is young and rambunctious. She walked them both a couple of times each day, as we asked her to. We would definitely hire Norah again!”

“I cannot recommend Mea enough! I needed a dog sitter last minute, and she stepped in without hesitation. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her, which gave me so much peace of mind. She sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. When I came back, my dog was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone you can trust with your pets, especially on short notice—but she exceeded all expectations. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and loving sitter!”

About: We currently watch many dogs on a regular and repeat basis. Pictures are sent daily of our visiting pets to their owner via cell phone (not always via Rover). We enjoy meeting new dogs and experiencing their unconditional companionship. We own a mini-golden doodle, Henry. The visiting pup will enjoy the comfort of our home, the company of Henry and courosity of our cats. The back yard is enclosed via a privacy fence. We will host most trained and well behaved dogs. We enjoy other dogs visiting our home since it provides us and our mini doodle socialization with other dogs. The dog sittings that we have done for many years now have given us enjoyment due to the pups unconditional friendships and some have even created great friendships with us and the pup’s owners. Your pup will stay inside with my doodle! Warm and cozy or cool and dry. Also. The fenced in back yard is great for safety and a good place to go! We are a friendly dog and cats loving family that is ready to share our home as a casual place for boarding. We do not crate our visitors unless directed to by the owner. Owner drop off the pet with enough food for the visit, favorite toy and blanket unless price is negotiated for pick up and/or providing food. Must meet and greet first.

“Shalissa was excellent when caring for our dogs while we were on vacation. She had just enough communication to keep us in the loop and did the extras like bring in packages and also made an extra visit to feed and let the dogs out on least time for us before we got home. I will definitely choose Shalissa next time we need a dog sitter!”

About: I have a Shih-Tzu and 2 cats currently. But grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I have experience with exotic animals too (marine animals mostly) and am currently a full-time animal trainer & a part-time vet assistant. I have a flexible schedule & reliable transportation and would love to help you and your family. I am available for long walks or a drop in visit. I'm located in downtown Indy & willing to travel to you and your furry friend. I feel comfortable feeding and administering medications or any special care that your dog will need. Also am comfortable walking long distances or playing ball. I am also comfortable checking on/caring for your cat. I have volunteer experience at zoos, aquariums, and shelters as well. Thank you so much, I hope to hear from you soon! I work with animals all day, every day. Please just message me to see if your schedule will work with mine. Thank you so much! I will make sure to be careful coming and going and that the leash is secure at all times. I stay very alert to my surroundings, especially on walks. I take care of animals all day at work & then come home & care for mine & would love to help bring you piece of mind while you're away. I make sure that the pet(s) are safe and secure and follow all of the instructions left for me carefully. I make sure that your pet always have what they need.

FAQs for House Sitting - Strawtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,309 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Strawtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Strawtown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Strawtown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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 Strawtown 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!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
