“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”

“Zach watched our 9 “kids” for 14 days. Unfortunately it was not an uneventful stay for him as our kids were not on their best behavior! Zach handled a not so feeling good old girl, a bratty teenager and one in heat like a champ! If it wasn’t for him we’d never get to take a break! This was not the first time we’ve had Zach sit and it definitely won’t be the last. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thanks Zach!”
About: I am very skilled with animals ! I’ve grown up with showing and raising different kinds of animals my whole life ! It would be a pleasure to help care for yours ! I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard ! I also have a dog which is a golden retriever and she loves other dogs !
About: I have 7 dogs and 4 cats of my own and they are all spoiled beyond compare. I love animals and have also worked at a Petco and learned about nutrition and some training from the dog trainers that I worked along side. I am quite flexible in the afternoons when it comes to taking care of the animals needs. I work 8-4 Monday through Friday and with what I do it is hard to leave in the middle of the shift but available outside of that as needed! I am always weary of low water bowls, sticking to an animal's routine and giving them all they love they need and then some. My personal animals are schedule fed with a fenced in back yard and all the toys and stimulation they need.
About: I love all animals, and you can rest assured that I will treat your's like one of my own. I'm competent, dependable, responsible, fun, and I can follow directions. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats, but I'm equally comfortable and capable of house sitting and/or taking care of any animals you may have! I work a full time job from home and have a 13 year old son. I'd be available for short trips to let dogs out for potty breaks or check on your animals during the day. I'm more available in the evenings and weekends for longer trips. I can also stay with your pet at your house for overnights. I'm trustworthy, responsible, and will take care of your pets and property with the upmost respect. You can return to a home exactly like you left it or better.
About: I have taken care of animals of all sizes. I have owned cats and dogs as well through my whole life. I have pet sit for many years and have a love and passion for animals. I am currently a student at university. I am always free on the weekends and am perfect if you just need a weekend get a way. I love walking and playing with dogs and cats of all kinds. I also very much care about animal health and wellbeing. I will always send pictures of your pet during our visits and upon request.
“Joclyn watched our pup overnight at our house after several very successful stay evenings. She is so good to Bunker and he loves seeing her. Anybody would be very happy, we sure are!”

“Thank you so much for watching our fur babies. You were amazing! Super easy to deal with and we can see our babies were loved! Also the little animal line up was hilarious to come home to! We appreciate everything!”

“Kristle was amazing!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to watch our Coco Bella! Kristle was loving and caring! She was so good to Coco! She took her out on walks, played with her, and made sure she was well taken care of. She sent us pictures everyday and was quick to respond! I am so happy we met Kristle and we will be in contact with her for future needs! I highly recommend her services! Thank you Kristle and family! Coco loved you guys!”

About: I have worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats. I have volunteered at both, the city animal shelter (IACS) and IndyHumane for several years, as both a dog and a cat handler, and have been part of the behavior team at the shelter. I am comfortable taking care of pets with a wide range of personalities and behaviors, and will take care of them like my own. I have been a foster parent for over 10 dogs over several years with many of them having intensive medical care or behavioral needs. I enjoy working with and taking care of all types of pets but I particularly enjoy working with senior dogs as well as shy/fearful dogs that need extra time and love to warm up and feel comfortable. I have taken several trainings and classes on dog behavior and positive reinforcement. I work full time but have some flexibility to work from home, so I can accommodate all your pet's needs. I am able to do check-ins and stay at home visits. I treat all pets with the same care, love and affection as I do my own. I am comfortable accommodating for different diets, giving meds, providing enrichment, and anything else needed.
About: You can feel completely confident leaving your home and responsibilities in my care while you’re on vacation because I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely committed to maintaining everything just the way you like it. I take pride in being organized and responsible, whether that means keeping your space clean, following specific instructions closely, or making sure any pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also proactive and communicative, so you’ll never have to worry—I can provide updates and handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. My goal is to give you peace of mind so you can fully relax and enjoy your time away, knowing everything at home is in excellent hands. I work privately for a couple and have very flexible hours. I am able to leave mid day if need be and come back, go prior to work and after. I have a crate inside for our dog that he uses only when he is home alone. When we are home he free roams the house and to use the bathroom we take him out on a leash.
About: I am a veterinary nurse with 17+ years of assisting veterinarians. I am comfortable with any ailment your fur baby may have! Your animal will be treated as my own! I do have three dogs that are my own but they are used to any type of dog coming into their “pack.” They are very trained and adaptable dogs. I also have many years of experience of animal care! I am married and my husband is also fully on board with me helping any local dogs and their family! Please let me help you have peace of mind while you are at work or on vacation! I am a full time student so Rover will be my full time job! I am extremely open to anything you may need for your babies! I have several references that can vouch that I can be more than trusted in your home. Also, if I bring your kiddo to my house, they will be treated as my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since my family got our first dog when I was 5! For 16 years I prioritized brushing, feeding, walking and loving our husky mix. I am also a trusted pet sitter for my coworkers and spent a week with one’s dog and two cats last October! I’m working full time if not a few hours more… I do have plenty of time outside of work that I would love to spend with your dog, we could probably both use the Vitamin C and outside time! I regularly spend time with my parents’ 2 year old lab-retriever mix as they work regular hours and I typically do not. He’s very active and playful, so I’m used to his constant need for attention!
“Beth was amazing. Super communicative. Got me out of a bind when another sitter had an unfortunate incident. Sent many photos and was very kind. Greatly appreciate you Beth. God bless.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, turtles, fish, plants, and more. Very skilled at reading body language and being able to calm animals down. I’m experienced with puppy training and treat positive reinforcement. I am currently working part time mostly in the morning/early afternoon, so night time care is easy! Usually off work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and some weekends so midday care is definitely possible. Willing to work with your schedule if enough time is given in advance. I provide animal & plant sitting, animal & plant watering and feeding, cleaning litter boxes, snack giving, light training to encourage continued behaviors and tricks
