“Shakarra was great with our 2 dogs! They can be a lot but they loved her! She was very responsive and sent pictures. I was so grateful to have her here and take care of them!”
“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!”
About: I consider my pets my children! I work full time and love the chance to relax and unwind by hanging out with my best friend, Chance, my dalmatian. I have had at least one dog since I was born and have had my own loving balls of fur for the last 7 years. I am hardworking and reliable and would love the opportunity to love your pets with the same love that I have for mine. I have extensive experience working with animals in my personal as well as professional life I have been a vet tech for the last 4 years. I also have experience with cats, chinchillas, ferrets, ball pythons and other small reptiles, rabbits, and horses. Animals are my life, you can trust your fur baby in my hands.
“Lexi was terrific. Jack and Duke don't like most people but they spent last evening looking for Lexi after she'd left. After we had a meet and greet with Lexi I had no worries at all about leaving the pups with her. I would not hesitate to leave them with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs on and off for a side job for 2 years. I’m very actice and love taking my own dogs on walks. I love dogs and cats, i’m very well organized and I will make sure your animal is loved, well taken care of and comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets! I’m happy to discuss scheduling, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. My goal is to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Since I have two dogs of my own who are not comfortable around other dogs, I provide pet-sitting services in your home rather than mine. This allows your pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and responsible care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring hands!
“Brownie needs more interaction with people on an ongoing basis without mom around. Kelly did the best she possibly could with a scared dog. Thank you for trying so hard and giving him his treats. Hopefully he will get there soon. Thanks Kelly for the updates and pictures.”
About: I've taken care of dogs XL, Large, Medium, and Small breeds and my favorite just so happen to be the really big o'l Doggies! I also have experience with rats, mice, snakes (which i love), turtles, birds, chameleons, and recently frogs! I know how to bath animals NOT grooming, bathing as in washing them and brushing them and cleaning ears but nothing else. I have experience with cooking for dogs haha! and also hiking with them! My schedule is very flexible a lot of the times! I of course have my own pets to worry about but popping by your home for a couple hours or even if I need to watch overnight will be no issue for me as long as I know ahead of time! With my living situation our apartments don't allow anymore then 2 pets at a time and I already have 2 pets unfortunately, so i'd have to go to my clients home. However, I always provide free cleaning of the house if asked and make sure your fur babies have a safe environment away from anything harmful. The majority of the time we will be outside but when indoors at all times I will be watching them so they don't get into any troubles!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life — my family has always had both dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I had 3 cats at once growing up in my moms house as well! I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, training basics, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention. I have an equal amount of love when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes — from small cats and puppies to large, energetic dogs. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or a long walk for exercise, I enjoy adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine since I am available most of the week. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings on those days, and I can adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I do live in an apartment, but I also have a safe balcony that your pets can get fresh air and relax on if they like being outside often! I always treat pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. Whether that means following their feeding routine, giving them bathroom breaks, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling, I make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“Darcie did an amazing job with our dog Zuko. He loved her within minutes of meeting her despite being an anxious dog. She also sent us daily pictures and videos so we knew how he was doing while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her for house sitting, or any other service, and look forward to using her again in the future.”

To us, animals aren't just pets — they're family! ❤️ We live on 36 beautiful acres and would love to welcome your four-legged family members to our little slice of country life! Think fresh air, new sights and smells, plenty of attention, and all the love and snuggles they could ask for. 🐶🌳 We know leaving your pets behind can be hard, so our goal is to make their stay feel like a true home away from home. Whether your pup loves exploring outdoors, enjoying a leisurely walk, playing, or curling up for some cozy cuddle time, we'll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. 🌾 Country living meets everyday convenience! We're conveniently located just off State Road 44 between Franklin and Indianapolis, making us a potentially convenient stop for commuters heading into the city. Whether you're off to work, planning a weekend getaway, or heading out on vacation, your pup can enjoy their own little country retreat while you're away! 🐾 Safety always comes first. Although we have 36 acres to enjoy, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks around our property are always on leash. We want your pups to enjoy the fresh air and country surroundings while keeping their safety our top priority. As a husband-and-wife team, we bring a lifetime of experience with animals, plenty of enthusiasm for making new furry friends, and double the love to share.

Your dog's country getaway is waiting! 🐕🌾 We can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! A Home Full of Love (and Plenty of Belly Rubs!) 🐾 I'm a stay-at-home mom, and my husband works from home, so our home has a extra flexibility for welcoming your fur babies! Having us both home for much of the day means your pup can enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and opportunities for supervised outdoor time.

My husband and I have had pets our entire lives, so we understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and quirks. We live on 36 acres in the country, giving us a beautiful setting to enjoy some fresh air and explore new sights and smells. All outdoor time is supervised, and walks are always on leash. We never allow dogs to roam freely around the property because their safety is too important to us. We also understand how important it is to maintain your pet's usual routine. We'll discuss feeding schedules, medications, allergies, behavioral needs, and any special instructions with you before their stay so we can provide care that works for your pup. As a stay-at-home mom and a husband who works from home, we're both around much of the day, allowing us to offer plenty of companionship and attention. We'll respect your pet's boundaries, give them time to settle in, and make sure they have a comfortable space to relax. We know trusting someone with your fur baby is a big deal. Our goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pup a safe, loving home away from home. 🌾🐶
“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”
“Sarah was great and the dogs loved her! Can’t say enough good things about her. She communicated with me daily to let me know they were doing great! I will be using her for more trips in the future!”
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!
“Heaven went above & beyond! Book her immediately. She stayed at our place with our two dogs & 3 cats for 12 days while we were out of the country. We got daily updates & pictures, plus she went out of her way to buy treats & toys, provided additional training, and took the pups on field trips. We are so lucky to have found her.”
“Josh was fabulous! Our dog really needed extra care emotionally since we had to have our other dog put down a month ago. Josh was here with him most of the time! During the meet and greet he took meticulous notes! He even brought him a treat (after checking with me.) Josh was able to administer several different meds too with confidence. His communication and pictures throughout his stay was a wonderful way to keep up with his care. He's very responsive, responsible, respectful, and kind. I will use him in the future and look forward to keeping in touch with him!”
“Jocelyn was Absolutely Fantastic. She treated our fur babies like her own. And kept us updated along the way. We reached out to her because we were in a pickle for a dog sitter . And Jocelyn came and met our dogs … who absolutely loved her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Rebekah did an incredible job both house sitting and dog sitting our dog Arthur! We were so nervous to leave our fur baby and she made us feel so comfortable with her sweet updates! We highly recommend her services!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Trafalgar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,234 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trafalgar. 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 Trafalgar 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 Trafalgar 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 Trafalgar 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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 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 Trafalgar. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
