“We ended up needing a last minute sitter and we were so lucky to find Phyllis! She was very responsive and kind! She took such great care of our pups and helped ease my mind. We actually booked her again for the following weekend and am thankful for her kindness and gentleness.”
“Kari did a short notice house sitting for both of my dogs while I had to attend a funeral out of town. I came home to two very happy boys! She communicated with me throughout the day and followed all of the requirements I left to a T.”
“Chris did a wonderful job watching over our dog and two kitties while we were away. He sent great updates, pictures, and kept us informed of everything that was going on. Would definitely recommend him!”
“Mackenzie was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our two girls! We were gone for 11 days, and we were a bit nervous as our older lab can be slow to warm up to new people. Mackenzie was so thoughtful and proactive, offering to come by for two separate meet-and-greets before our trip. It made a world of difference and put everyone at ease. While we were away, she sent lots of wonderful pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for. To top it all off, we came home to a house that was even tidier than we left it! We are so thrilled with Mackenzie's care and professionalism. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter for all future trips!”
“Kendra was great with Jocko! She brought her golden along (she asked if it was ok first) and Jocko and Birdie seemed to have a great time together. She sent plenty of updates and was very personable. We highly recommend Kendra.”
“We are always scared to leave our dog with a stranger, but Sammy did great!! She updated me each time she went over and sat with him for a while so he wasn’t alone for so long. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Thank you SO much for taking such good care of my fur babies! I could tell they all loved you so much. Jasmine not only took great care of my pets, but she also cleaned my carpets afterwards, leaving my house smelling and looking fresh and clean!! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kristan did an amazing job house sitting for 6 days! She kept me updated throughout my time away, asked questions when needed, and shared plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. Lord Bentley was clearly very well taken care of and happy when I returned. I also came home to everything exactly as I left it. I would definitely book Kristan again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hey, my name is Bailey and I love working with animals. I grew up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, but most importantly cats and dogs. When I was a kid my grandparents bred puppies and I would help take care of them. Moving forward anytime someone needed help feeding and walking their dogs I volunteered. I have dog sat many times and had dogs come to my house a few times as well. I have one dog myself, a pit mix named Goofy. I work part-time 5 days a week. I'm available for overnight stays and can walk and feed your pet both before and after work. I consider myself very active and will be happy to take your dogs on plenty of walks. I can walk around your neighborhood or take a quick trip to a nearby park. I love playing with dogs and cats, especially laser and fetch. I love fetch. I have a special needs cat and I make my own food and treats for my dog so if your animal has any dietary or medical requirements I will happily rise to the occasion.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My experience with pets includes caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and other small animals, including feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any special instructions you provide. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play, enjoys a relaxing cuddle, or needs a little extra patience to feel comfortable around someone new, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Feline drop-in care fits incredibly well into my daily routine because cats naturally appreciate structured, predictable visits rather than round-the-clock supervision. Because I focus strictly on non-live-in services, I can easily coordinate my schedule to arrive at your home during your cat's preferred morning or evening feeding windows. This setup allows me to give your cat my completely undivided attention for essential routine tasks, fresh food, and dedicated playtime, while comfortably balancing my other daytime dog walking and professional commitments. I know that cats thrive on consistency and familiarity. During each drop-in visit to your home, my priority is keeping your cat safe, relaxed, and happy by focusing on three main areas: Routine & Health Maintenance Fresh Food & Water: Feeding exactly according to your instructions and washing bowls daily to prevent bacteria. Meticulous Litter Box Care: Scooping the litter box during every single visit and sweeping up any tracking around the box. Medication Administration: Safely administering any necessary pills, supplements, or specialized care your cat requires. Affection & Companionship Respecting Their Boundaries: Letting your cat set the pace—whether they want immediate head scratches or prefer to observe me from a safe distance. Interactive Play & Socialization: Engaging energetic cats with wand toys, lasers, or catnip to keep them stimulated.Comforting Presence: Spending quiet time in the room for shy or independent cats so they never feel entirely alone. Communication & Home Security Daily Updates: Sending you a detailed text update alongside photos or videos of your cat during every visit so you have total peace of mind.Basic Home Care: Bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, taking out the trash, and adjusting lights so your home looks active and secure.
About: I grew up with an abundance of dogs at home, typically three or four at least at a time and my parents had a few foster animals as well. Don’t have any pets myself, so this is a way I can still interact with the animals that I love in my free time! What sets me apart would truly be how intentional I am with your animals and just how genuine I am as a person :) I work full time (9-5) in Fishers, but have some flexibility where I can work remote and take meetings virtually, so plenty of time to be home and care for all your animals! :) I pretty much always prefer to have the animals around me at all times to ensure they are safe and as comfortable as can be. Happy to cleanup any accidents of course, and do my very best to keep them content!
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. I’ll treat your pets as if they’re part of my family. I have experience giving insulin injections and oral meds. I’ve cared for puppies to senior dogs. I have experience with dogs with behavioral issues and special needs. I’d love to help care for your pets. I am available daily for drop-ins, walking, playtime in the clients home. I’m also available for overnight stays with your pets in the comfort of your own home. I provide a meet and greet to meet you and your pets to understand your daily routine. I’ll focus on maintaining this routine while you’re at work or away.
“He was great and really helped me out with a last second booking when I got delayed an extra day coming home due to issues with airlines. My girls loved him and appreciated having company for the night”
“Marek stepped up to the plate and accepted a last minute day care request. My dog had a riotous day playing with his dogs and got more than his share of exercise. Marek's rates are very low and don't reflect the care that he gave to my grateful pet.”
“Karissa did a wonderful job taking care of our two large dogs, especially our toddler Rottweiler, who is mischievous and full of energy. We came home to a clean house, happy puppies, and we are definitely using her again.”
About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!
About: I've been a dog and cat owner and caretaker for more than 30 years. I love spending time with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages! I currently have a German Retriever mix named Callie and a Miniature Pinscher mix named Pippa - both are spoiled rotten, love to play with other dogs and do well with cats. I also have 2 cats - Michonne and Betty White. Both do well with other cats and dogs. I'm currently home most days but will occasionally work from home. I am available to provide all services 7 days a week, unless my calendar shows that I’m unavailable due to an appointment. I live in a home that does not have a fenced in yard, but we are close to Pleasant Run trail and area parks. My Golden doodle is a little shy but gets along with all kinds of dogs and cats big and small. The cats also get along with other pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,357 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stringtown. 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 Stringtown 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 Stringtown 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.
Tip: 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 Stringtown 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.
