“Lyndsey was so great to work with, couldn’t feel better about leaving Beau with her and her family. She’s so kind and very responsive, I would leave Beau there again in a heartbeat.”
“Hope felt very comfortable with Katelin even before I left! Katelin sent lots of photos of Hope’s time with her and all the other doggos, and it was obvious Hope was possibly having an even better time than I was on my trip! 😂 I will absolutely have Hope stay with her again if needed in the future.”
“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”

Ha sido una experiencia satisfactoria.”

“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Clean house and taken care of. She was able to accommodate an extra night due to travel issues. 10/10 would recommend and book again. Sent daily pictures and videos as well.”
“We always use Betty when we need a sitter, and it is so good to know our little one is safe and well cared for! The last time I dropped off Lucy, Lucy hopped right up on the couch and made herself at home! She is a very shy little dog and I loved seeing her so comfortable. Highly, highly recommended!”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”

Aricela sent daily pictures of each animal, and both appeared to be happy and enjoying themselves.

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 18 years. I love being around animals. Know how to care for pets medically as well as personally. I am a stay at home mom and have more time now that my kids are older and at school. I love caring for animals I have a fenced in back yard at home. I know how to properly administer medications and injections if needed. I understand strict diets. I know pets are a part of your family so their care if very important to me.
“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”
About: I am someone who loves pets of all types. I have years of experience with multiple types of animals and I love them all. If my pets could talk they would tell you to choose me. My job has multiple stretches of time off for me to care for your pets full time. If for whatever reason I am working on a time you are looking for a sitter I will always let you know my schedule in advance. But for the most part I will always be home. I have a decent yard. However, the yard is not fenced. I have 3 litter boxes in my home that are scooped daily as well as provide privacy. I have 3 cats who are all friendly with each other and love to play. Their ages are 4 years, and 2 of them are 7 months. All my pets are neutered and spayed. I also have a rabbit who loves to play with the cats as well. However, if you are uncomfortable with this idea he is also always willing to chill in his cage.
“Heather was awesome! She took great care of Leo and was quick in communicating. We would definitely rebook and would recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming place for your pup! Thank you!”
“Our pups had so much fun with hers and we got some cute photos of their stay! Easy communication and nice to know there's always someone there with the pups.”
“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”
“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”
“Jennifer was amazing with my two cats. My cats have very different personalities, one is extremely outgoing and friendly, and the other is sweet but very shy. She worked with both to make sure they were healthy and taken care of without making my shy girl too nervous. And she provided plenty of photos!”
“Abbigail was great! She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Abbigail again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“Natalie did phenomenal! I had no worries being out of town because I knew my fur babies were well taken care of. Definitely going to rebook with her the next time I have to go out of town 😊”
“Raiden was a pleasure to book with, and kept me well informed. My dogs were happy, and well for while I was away. They did a great job, and I would recommend Raiden and his fiancé to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: Animal love was bred into me. My father grew up on a farm and my mother was a vet tech. I've had animals my entire life. I have been a dog breeder, a volunteer for shelters, I've worked in a pet store, I've helped operate a dog boarding facility for the past 15 1/2 years, and a dog groomer. I am different from others as I specialize in whole pet care, from health and nutrition going in, to calories being burnt off through exercise and play. A tired pet is a well behaved pet. I like to engage their minds while also allowing them the freedom to be a dog, though digging in the yard is a huge no no. I'd like to get to know your pet and love them as if they were my own. My husband and I freelance from home. So whether your pup needs daycare, a bath, an overnight stay or an extended stay, your furbaby has a place to go where they are treated like part of the family. My husband and I, offer our fur clients the freedom to roam our home or we can offer crate training if needed for their comfort or security.
About: I have dog sat since high school and have always had a positive experience with it. Your babies will be loved on and cared for like they are mine. I have a dog and a cat who are spoiled! Your animals will be cared for so you don’t have to worry while you are off, because I am just as protective over my own! I worked at a K-9 training facility so I am very experienced with taking care of animals and cleaning up after them. I also worked at a grooming company for an internship and got to experience bathing, brushing and combing dogs! I also have experience with cats, as I just got one myself. I am also experienced with giving medication. Right now, pet sitting is my only gig so your animals will be taken care of and I will spend my time loving on them! Sometime in the near future I plan on becoming a substitute teacher, but for right now I really want to work with animals. I have a fenced in yard, it is pretty small but enough room for dogs to go potty. I have a very friendly, 3 year old Golden Retriever (Baker) and his best friend is a cat (Henry) who we recently adopted.
“Lorissa was very good with my fur babies while my husband and I were gone on vacation for 4 days. she followed my Instructions very well. Gave the dogs their meds every other day, she was patient with my Cowy while he was stressed. We really appreciate the updates and photos she sent to us regarding poop reports, feedings and water intakes each visit. I’ll definitely recommend Lorissa to take care of your fur babies too.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for a little over 6 years now . I first started with dog walking and realized how much I enjoy being with animals and taking care of them. I’ve watched dogs and cat for family and friends. I’d love to start caring for animals more so I can eventually turn it into a full time job. I’m currently working a full time job. I get off of work around 3:30 or 4:00 and I go in at 8:00 AM. I will mostly be watching animals after I get done with my job. I would mostly be watching animals in the clients home as my home is not set up to have pets in it as of right now.
About: I worked with dogs and cats for the past 6 years at a kennel and a rescue. I have one cat of my own and love dogs so much! I’ve watched family friends pets on occasion as well! I am on the hunt for a part time job so I’m pretty available as of right now and I’m look forward to spending time with your pets! I will monitor your pet on potty breaks and be observant during walks! I will follow whatever rules you have set in your home/for your pet!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds with my boys for years in our neighborhood and our friend circle. We’d like to expand polar reach and help others with their pet sitting needs in the Warsaw area. We are available most week days after 3:30 and all day most weekends. We can work out most situations and are pretty flexible to meet your needs. We have several neighbors who have trusted us with their house keys, garage entry codes, etc. We take good care of our clients homes and pets and treat them like if they were our own. You can trust us.
“Amanda is awesome! She was great with all our animals, and she wasn't intimidated by our giant great dane. She was very communicative and responded quickly. She is trustworthy and reliable, and we will definitely continue to use her for our pet care!”
About: What sets me apart from others on Rover, is I take this line of work seriously and I usually go above in beyond. If I am selected to sleep at the house you can expect me to actually sleep there. For every one of my client's I have always slept the night until the end. If a puppy is on site I do continue to train the basics, unless other skills are specified to be trained. I love to keep them active and happy! I spend all my free time with your fur baby! I love to give them time to play and run. I enjoy taking them for walks, or giving them a bath! For boarding, I do not have a fenced yard, but I have an electric fence along with an additional collar. If that is not acceptable to you then I will keep the dog on a regular leash during potty breaks. I have two fur babies of my own that do wonderful with new dogs, they love to play! I live in a suburban neighborhood with a perfect loop to take walks. I can also provide a large crate if needed, otherwise the pet will sleep with me. I do allow them on my bed :) For house sitting+dog, I would follow any instruction given to me! Otherwise I assume the dog is yard trained and won’t bolt across the street. If this is a concern of yours then I ask to please provide me with a leash, thank you! If you do not allow your pets on your furniture then I will continue that behavior for you.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Barbee
About: I grew up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix and loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit, I love to walk them both! I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for them. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, and have switched careers to work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family! I have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule is open and flexible - I can be available almost any time with some notice. Send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP! I will ensure to adhere to any dog schedules/routines, send regular photo/text updates upon client request, and care for your dogs like my own. I will do everything in my power to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect frequent and thorough communication - don’t be afraid to leave detailed lists/notes of exactly how you want your dog cared for. I will do my best to mimic how you care for your pet to ease any distress and make your absence as enjoyable as possible for them.
“It is so nice to be able to leave your pet and know that they are loved and cared for while you are away. Lyndsey is great at communicating and send updates frequently, which definitely gives me peace of mind ❤️”
About: Hello! I recently moved to Warsaw, Indiana all the way from Arizona and I’m excited to meet new furr-babies. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and I couldn’t imagine my life any other way. I’ve also worked at Petsmart as a dog bather and I’m very experienced in reading a dogs body language. I am a stay-at-home wife, I have a dog named Oakley and two cats. Oakley, a 80-pound golden retriever, is very friendly and has never had a problem with any other dogs. Oakley loves having a good play buddy. I also have plenty of toys for dogs to play with. My cats, on the other hand, prefer to stay to themselves. I have the free time and all the love to be home with your babies. I’m a stay-at-home wife who loves spending time at home and I enjoy going taking my dog out for a walk or playing with whatever toy my brings me. I ensure that every animal is comfortable and feels safe, regardless of whether it prefers solitude or running around. Oakley is incredibly energetic and loves to greet everyone who will let him.

About: Besides being the go-to dog sitter for neighbors and family ever since I can remember, the past 30+ years I have fostered Golden Retrievers for 3 rescue groups, specializing in seniors and dogs with a not so pleasant past. In the past I have owned Dachshunds, German Shorthair Pointers, German Shepard mix, and of course Golden Retrievers. Being retired, I am able to give my dogs and my guest dogs plenty of attention with lots of activities to keep everyone busy.

“I can’t say how impressed I am with Tammie. I was visiting family and am from Iowa, Tammie was more then accommodating and welcoming. I could tell she likes what she does and cares about her canine clients. Her home is set up for the dogs and, even with multiple dogs, stays clean. My Corgi was comfortable right way. I used Tammies daycare twice, the second time my Corgi couldn’t wait to get in the door. I will be using Tammie services whenever I visit, no question about it!”
“Jennifer and Larry were awesome. Nestli was excited to enter their house the moment he got there, and immediately began exploring the fenced yard with joy. He was happy to be there, and when we picked him up, he made sure to give Jennifer several kisses and wiggle butts goodbye. Obviously, Jennifer and Larry took great care of Nestli, and also accommodated our extra time needs for our event, for which we are very grateful!”
About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.
About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have taken care of family and friends' dogs when they go on vacation. My family and I love taking care of animals. I am currently working from home.

“Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.”
“I can't say enough good things about Amy! She played enough to wear my high energy dog out! Vinny was so well taken care of, and she sent lots of pics and a video. All the updates were great and I was jealous that he was having so much fun while I was at work. I actually hope I get an occasion to use Amy again!”
“I knew right away our Pup was in good and loving hands. Betty is so kind and she let us know throughout the day how our little guy was doing. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.

You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”
“Ashley and her son were wonderful with my dog, Jordi. She was able tk dogsit for me while I went to a family gathering. She sent me multiple photo updates and Jordi left with her tail wagging. I would 100% recommend them for your pup.”

I already take my dog on walks and runs daily and I’m currently very flexible for the next few weeks while on summer vacation as a teacher. I will be able to keep your pet company and give lots of attention in the form of going on walks, throwing the ball, feeding, grooming if necessary, etc. I currently cannot board other pets as I have a cat of my own and don’t want to risk him being stressed or attacked by overly excited dogs!

I can do full weeks just need to know ahead of time to be able to discuss with work!

If that is not acceptable to you then I will keep the dog on a regular leash during potty breaks. I have two fur babies of my own that do wonderful with new dogs, they love to play! I live in a suburban neighborhood with a perfect loop to take walks. I can also provide a large crate if needed, otherwise the pet will sleep with me. I do allow them on my bed :) For house sitting+dog, I would follow any instruction given to me! Otherwise I assume the dog is yard trained and won’t bolt across the street. If this is a concern of yours then I ask to please provide me with a leash, thank you! If you do not allow your pets on your furniture then I will continue that behavior for you.
About: Since I was little we have always had a dog in our house! We currently have an adorable little Westie named Tilly. I am currently a college student in a Master's program and would love to help take care of your animals while I am away from mine! I have a partially fenced in backyard and right by Valparaiso University campus with lots of safe space for walking! I have been taking care of animals since I was little, so I can easily adapt to your living space! I am currently a graduate level college student at Valparaiso University! I have class from 9am-5pm M-F and am typically free on the weekends. Sometimes my schedule changes so always feel free to ask! I have a partially fenced in backyard and live near the campus of Valparaiso University. I am used to having my schedule organized, so keeping up with visits will be no problem!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I love animals and I love being active so your dog will be sufficiently walked. I’ve been entrusted to give animals medications, including shots during some of my sitting experiences, so I am familiar with that. I’ve also taken care of homeowners’ plants/yards while they’ve been away! I’ve had many friends and families re-use me for their pets! I am a salaried employee at my job, so I am available to take your dog out throughout the day. If I am gone for work, it’s only about 2-4 hours at my actually office building. I live in Warsaw, so I’m close to Winona Lake, Grace College, and the lake itself. I have two cats of my own, so I’m not currently boarding animals at my house, but am able to do drop in visits, house sitting jobs and dog walking jobs!

“Lyndsey was so great to work with, couldn’t feel better about leaving Beau with her and her family. She’s so kind and very responsive, I would leave Beau there again in a heartbeat.”
“Hope felt very comfortable with Katelin even before I left! Katelin sent lots of photos of Hope’s time with her and all the other doggos, and it was obvious Hope was possibly having an even better time than I was on my trip! 😂 I will absolutely have Hope stay with her again if needed in the future.”

“Awesome! Buddy loves his pup sitter. He was treated like family. They sent pictures. He was loved so much. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a pup sitter. I can't say enough about how great he was with our baby.”
“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”
“Kelsi did a fantastic job! She sent us several pics daily with captions. She has a nice big yard for the dogs to play in. Would definitely recommend and hope to be able to book with her in the future!”
