âVery thankful for Odalysâ help with my two dogs! It was short notice and she was still able to take care of my dogs and accommodate last minute changes. She kept me up to date with how they were doing and sent pictures each time she saw them!â

âAudrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. Weâve got elderly pets, so thereâs feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!â
About: I have owned my fist dog since 10 years old, when I turned 17 I adopted my first husky, by the time I turned 18 I had two more huskies! I love training, bathing, and running with the dogs! I am currently trying to save up to get an agility course! I have got a 4 yo husky, 1.5 year old husky/gsd mix and a 3 month old husky/malamute I have got 3 dogs myself and a cat that I take care of, Iâve been thinking of going around seeing if people needed dogs walked watched etc I have got a lot of extra time and I love animals! I work at 5 pm or 10 pm most days! I have got the out for our dogs and free roam of a 3 story house. Water is always avalible when outside or after playing (will vary with dogs specific needs and breed) example: I have huskyâs, and right now they love the winter so they are outside a lot! But my 7 year old jack russel mix is outside and right back inside. We do have kennels for feeding, or dogs are separated for feeding
âCrystal is great!! My dogs loved her, she sent pup pics and updates every visit. Goes above and beyond, great communication. Reliable and trustworthy. If you are looking for someone to love and care for your fur babies while you are away , Crystal is your person. I highly recommend and will request her for any future needs!â


About: Iâve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. Iâve always had experience with animals, itâs odd if I donât have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!

About: I have been working at Zionsville Animal Hospital as a vet assistant since October â24. Before that I was working in the doggy daycare industry. I have always had love and experience with animals, my own and clients animals. I have pet sat for clients of the hospital and am able to medicate and give injections (insulin, B12, etc.) and whatever else you may need! I currently work full time at ZAH. I can provide drop in visits before and after work. Boarding is situational, shoot me a message! I am able to do more on my days off :) I take my own dog on a walk before and after work every day no matter the weather. If your pet is staying in my home they will also be provided the same! I am flexible when it comes to your pets schedule as long as it doesnât interfere with my work schedule.
About: I have taken care of dogs since middle school. I love dogs and have two on my own - a Dalmatian and a Basset Hound. My family is very active and we walk the doggies daily! My job is very flexible and I have a lot of extra time during the day to spend time with the doggies! I have had dogs all my life! I love dogs and I spend a lot of time outdoors with the doggies! I make sure the doggies get at least one walk a day but more often than not they get walked twice daily.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs not just my own but friends and families. I let them spend the night, go for walks, feed them, bathe them and just let them hang out with my dogs. I have a full-time job, so I can care for your pet in the early morning or evenings on weekdays, and Iâm pretty open on weekends. I would love to check on your beloved pets while you go out of town or just have a busy day away from home They are welcome to spend as many nights at my house where the backyard is fenced in and they can play outside or inside I have a fenced in backyard and 2 dogs that haven't met a stranger yet. They will get fed and watered also get to hangout with 2 other dogs and play with them.
About: I love animals and Iâve been around them most of my life! I have a dog of my own that Iâve had for 11 years, so Iâm very familiar with their behaviors and how to take care of them! Pet care fits into my daily routine as I am currently studying Wildlife Biology and minoring in Aquatic Science at Purdue University. I believe this will be the perfect opportunity to get me started in my animal career! I live in town so itâs perfect to take your dog on a walk whenever they need to go outside! I do have a crate if needed and I have a small dog of my own that Iâm sure your dog would love the company. Also, Iâm willing to take care of your pet at your home so whatever routines you have to take care of your pet I will follow! I love taking pictures of my pets, so I can definitely take some of your animals too.
About: Iâve been an animal lover as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and fish as family pets. As I got older, Iâve had pets of my own and became the go-to person to petsit for friends and family. I also have some experience caring for farm animals. I know leaving can be stressful for both pets and owners. I strive to make that change as seamless as possible so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are well cared for. I work remotely and have flexibility in my schedule, so I can be around a lot to give them love and help stick to their usual routine. My current schedule is very flexible. I can easily drop in midday for a walk while youâre at work or spend large chunks of time with your pets during a stay! Unfortunately I cannot host pets in my home at this time. In your house, Iâll follow your instructions for pet care as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable and have minimal change in routine.

âShadae was very communicative and attentive to mine and Odessaâs needs. I could feel the love she has for her own pets carry over into her care for Odessa. She went the extra mile to ensure Odessa was comfortable. This was the longest I had been away from my pup and I could NOT have asked for a better person to watch over her. 1000/10â
About: For over 15 years, I have been the go to person for pet care among friends, family, and neighbors and it is something I genuinely love doing. From quick drop ins to let a pup out for a bathroom break to full time care for two weeks while an owner was away, I have handled it all. I am trusted to feed, walk, play with, and comfort dogs of all sizes and personalities. What started as a favor has grown into something I take real pride in. Whether it is a laid back older dog or a playful puppy, I treat every pet like they are my own. I canât wait to meet your dog or cat! I will be available most days and times. Please contact me to see if I am available and I will see if I can get your needs taken care of! I can keep your pet safe with any means necessary. Please tell me specifics about your animalâs habits and rules for him or her so I can appropriately accommodate.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life â I grew up around dogs, cats, and pretty much every pet in the neighborhood, so being around them just feels like home. I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young, and it kind of grew from there through word of mouth, which honestly means the world to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or just sitting quietly with a pet who needs some company. Every animal has their own personality, and getting to know that is honestly my favorite part of the job. My schedule is super flexible â honestly, anytime works for me. I'm self-employed, so I have the freedom to be available whenever your pet needs me, whether that's early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last-minute bookings. No 9-to-5 restrictions here! Your pet will never feel like they're being squeezed into a busy schedule â they'll always have my full attention. When I'm in your home, I treat it like my own â with respect, care, and a lot of love for your pet. I follow whatever routine your pet is used to because consistency matters, especially when you're away. I'm not just popping in to check a box â I'm fully present, keeping things comfortable and familiar so your pet barely notices you're gone. Your home and your fur baby are in good hands.
About: I've owned and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. I've worked as a pet sitter and dog walker for many families. I have 2 cats and a dog. I've had my dog for 10 years. He's now in his senior years which makes me familiar with senior care including twice daily administration of medications. I have always been an animal lover. I would love a chance to help you with your furry family! I work long hours during the week but I am fully available weekends for check-ins, walks and boarding. In special circumstances we could work something out if you need additional care on week days. I treat them like my own. Lots of play, love and attention. I have a large yard with lots of grass to play in. I have a crate if that's part of their routine. Our pets are our family and sit on the couch and snuggle in bed. I have many quiet roads around for safe walks and a few dog friendly parks.
âVery attentive and careful while walking my husky that hasnât always been well behaved on a leash. He even tried working with her to reduce her pulling. Gave her all the attention she needed when she was missing her family! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Thorntown is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $55 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,244 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thorntown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, donât forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Justiceâs 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
