“On time, quality care, under budget - what's not to like? Jamie obviously liked the cats and the cats obviously liked her! This was one vacation where the well being of my pets was the least of my worries. Will definitely book with her again.”

“Very thankful for Odalys’ 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!”

“Ann Marie has been a life-saver! She has been checking in on my dog Ruby for weeks now and has always been so flexible and communicative with me! Definitely recommend! 🙂”

“Audrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. We’ve got elderly pets, so there’s feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily. Along with that experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals to care for. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, and extended stays depending on availability. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I create a calm, positive environment and make sure pets get plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and attention while in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and worry-free.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Laina and I’m an animal behavior student at Indiana University open for work! I have extensive experience in animal care with my education experience, volunteer training, and personal pets as well! In my past I have trained service dogs through ICAN and volunteer at The Love Pet Project. Currently I have six dogs at home that I care for as well as two cats! I’m highly experienced with various animal care and aspire to make a career out of my passion! I am available for full time care through the week and weekends or part time if needed as well. I provide daily care, hourly check ins, long walks, bathing/grooming services, or I’m potentially open to overnight stays depending on the client. I provide excellent and safe care for all animals. Depending on the animals needs and behavior I am able to bring them to parks, trails, back yards, or pet stores for play and enrichment! Animals will be kept on their leashes when in public at all times and kept from a safe distance from other animals that may be around! All fences will be checked for damage before animals are let loose to play! In the home all food will be placed in high areas that are up and away from the animals reach. Sharp objects that could causes harm are also placed away!

“Zack an amazing dog walker/ dog BFF. Mason is a rescue and is very scared of his surroundings still. He is 10 month I had just got him. Zack was so patient with at our meet and greet. He didn't leave until Mason was okay with him. Now Mason really likes Zach and the cats adore him. I'm so happy I found Zack. Wouldn't want anyone else.”

This is my full time job right now, so your pets will get plenty of time with me. I know how important it is to have reliable pet care while you are away, so let me be that person for you! Caring for pets is my full time job and my absolute passion. I go above and beyond for all of my furry friends. I have been on Rover for more than a year now. I love caring for my regular families, and building relationships with new ones as well. Your pets will be in great hands with me! I pay close attention to detail.

“We highly recommend Zachary! He took great care of our kitties for 2 weeks. we could not have been more pleased. We loved getting pictures of our boys while on vacation. We will definitely use him again.”


About: I have taken care of all different kinds of animals throughout my life. My family has housed all different kinds of dogs, cats, rodents, etc. I enjoy all animals and like to see them kept happy and well cared for. I make sure to take time out of my day to give my animals attention and care, and would do the same for any animals that I am watching. I make sure to give them what they need, and pay attention to their temperament and the small details that others might not notice. I love seeing animals well cared for, and do my best to mine happy.
“Liz was an absolute pleasure!! Our fur babies had no problems with her at all and even got our dog to eat her food(she never eats while we are away). Thank you so much for an amazing experience Liz💜”

About: Reliable and caring dog sitting you can trust. I provide a safe, comfortable environment where your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. Whether it’s daily visits or overnight care, I treat every dog like my own—keeping their routine consistent and giving you peace of mind with regular updates. I am currently taking some time off work due to a family situation, I love animals better than people most of the time and what better way to spend some of my down time - 😊 Caring for pets in your home first and foremost is respect for your setup and keep everything as I found it while ensuring the pet feels secure. I feel it's important to supervise interactions, especially with new animals, and watch for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort such as changes in appetite, behavior, or energy. Regular walks, playtime, and affection help pets feel comfortable, while clear communication with you the owner—updates, photos, and quick reporting of any concerns—builds trust and ensures the pet gets the best possible care.

About: I have been working at Zionsville Animal Hospital as a vet assistant since October ‘24. 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 doesn’t interfere with my work schedule.

About: I’ve 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. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t 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'm a recent graduate from IU Bloomington with several years of experience caring for animals, especially cats. I spent two years working in an animal shelter, helping with daily care, low-stress interactions, and making pets feel comfortable around new people and routines. I also have clinical experience caring for a high volume of cats, including shy, sensitive, or easily stressed cats who need a calm and patient approach. I’m very comfortable reading cat body language and adjusting my care to what each individual cat needs. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and individual pet owners, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m the type of sitter who wants your pet to feel comfortable and cared for, and I always send clear updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. My current availability is: Monday: fully free Tuesday: fully free Wednesday: fully free Thursday: fully free Friday: fully free Saturday: fully free Sunday: fully free I’m very careful about safety and trust, especially with cats who can be cautious with new people. I follow their routine closely, move at their pace, and never push interaction if they’re not feeling it. I’m careful about doors and any escape risks when entering or leaving. I pay close attention to body language and the small things that can signal stress or discomfort, and I’ll always reach out right away if anything seems unusual. I send clear photo updates each visit so you always know how things are going while you’re away.
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.
“Alyssa was great with our doggies! She sent us pics at every visit, so we could see how great they were doing. They had time to play outside and get some snuggles, and were also kept on their usual feeding routine. Would totally recommend her and would schedule with her again!”
