About: I have five cats of my own. I had a cat that had chronic kidney disease, which I had to give daily medications for. My five now range from 1 year old to 14 years old. I am comfortable with trimming cat nails as well if you are in need.

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Brownsburg resident, lifelong animal lover, and experienced caregiver. My background includes years of experience caring for animals through 4-H, including dogs, horses, and livestock, as well as caring for pets in home settings. I’ve worked with animals of different sizes, temperaments, and care needs, and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. Professionally, I’ve worked in education, healthcare leadership, and caregiving roles where trust, responsibility, communication, and safety were essential every day. Those same qualities guide how I care for your pets and your home. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is different—and every pet is family. When you book with me, you can expect reliable communication, regular photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are being cared for by someone with both animal-care and professional caregiving experience.
“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”
“Zach did an awesome job caring for our senior cat, Lizzie. He provided daily updates and cared for Lizzie as if she was her own. We highly recommend Zach for any of your pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi! I bring years of hands-on experience from running an emergency and critical care animal rescue, where I cared for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm confident handling medication administration, injections, mobility support, and other complex care routines. At home, I care for my sweet blind dog with medical issues and a high-energy puppy, so I understand the importance of both patience and structure. I have extensive expierence with both cats and dogs, but am more than happy to care for any pet you may have 🥰 Whether your pet needs quiet care, extra attention, or high-energy playtime, I’ll treat them like family and provide reliable, loving support while you're away. I currently work Monday- Friday, but am available for all of your petcare needs! My schedule is flexible! Please let me know if adjustments are needed! I have a large yard, and a seperate room for pets if needed. Our yard is not fenced, but we have a supervised tie out, or leash walks! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play, or can be kept seperate if needed. I also have a very friendly cat! We live on an awesome walking trail, and I go running every day with my dog.
“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 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.
About: I had a cat growing up and loved it! I had to put it down a few years back and I miss it. I’d love the chance to care for your cat. My parents use to rely on me to feed our cat and empty the litter box when they would go out of town.

“Brianna was amazing with my sweet little Bentley! She communicated with me throughout both days, and sent me pictures as well. Bentley was well taken care of, and excited to go both days. I will definitely book more appointments with Brianna in the future. Thanks again, Brianna!!”
“Kelly was wonderful with our boys! They seem to have settled in great and were able roam and run, which is something they love :) They slept soundly that night. I received many pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kristen and Kenneth were phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog Ace. They were so welcoming, made sure everyone was a good fit, let us see where the dogs would be and helped us and our boy get acclimated to the environment! They sent updates throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures! I never once worried about Ace (and we often do as he is a very anxious dog)! Not only this, but they helped us pull off an engagement and made accommodations so that the proposal could go perfectly without us having to worry about Ace (: we will 10000% be using them again!”
“Brittany is amazing! We were on a long road trip and she was able to get us in with late notice. She made Luna feel right at home, and Luna had fun playing with Brittany’s pup too. She sent us sweet pics to reassure us Luna was doing well. We will definitely use her services next time we are in the area!”
“Jaclyn is the BEST! I was so nervous to leave my puppy with someone but he comes home with the biggest smile and I know he was well taken care of :) I can tell he plays hard over there with her dogs! Nothing but great things to say ❤️”
“Lori was warm and welcoming to my dogs and me. She was flexible with my chaotic day and super easy to work with. I really appreciated her help! Great yard space and secure fence, too!”
“Tracy has been so patient and kind with our pup. CC is a shy but goofy little girl and we worried about finding someone who would wait for her to adjust to their home. Tracy has been so good with her and we just love knowing she is safe and cared for while we are away.”
“It was another GREAT day with Mrs. Emily today!! Hank can’t wait to see her every Thursday and he is always a happy boy when I pick him up.. Thanks Mrs. Emily for being such a fantastic sitter!! If you’re looking for someone to watch your furry baby, we HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. This was our second time leaving our little fur-baby with her and he seems to really enjoy her and is opening up (He has a bit of separation anxiety)...I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Janet saved the day! My husband and I were staying at a Home2 Suites locally for a couple nights with Stella and Jäger as we are moving from Ohio. The dogs struggled in the hotel and we were told that they could not stay alone as they cried and whined while we were away. I found Janet on Rover late in the evening on Monday and we were able to get daycare booked for the next day while we completed our final walk through and closing on our new house. A huge weight was lifted as we know this move is a big transition for not just Stella and Jäger but also for my husband and I. Janet played with Jäger and Stella and even sent me a picture to help ease my mind. So thankful for her!!”
“I was anxious leaving my puppy with someone new but Libby was and continues to be amazing. Her setup is very safe and professional and Charlie has a fantastic time when he stays with her. He always comes home happy and exhausted from all the play.”
“Jessica is incredibly quick to respond, kind, patient, and clearly cares about each dog’s individual needs and safety. They have a beautiful home with a large, well-maintained fenced yard, and it’s obvious they go above and beyond to make the dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend them!”
About: ABOUT ME: Completely insured WITH Animal Bailee Insurance and Vet Protection Coverage through PCI. I have been on and off Rover since I was in college and own my small business. Currently, I have a tuxedo kitty named, Mr. Sir. His is my laid back, street rat, expert hunter that does not like to be indoors. I have currently have a flock of 14 chickens. This is my second flock of chickens owned since 2019. I am a previous dog owner. My animals were not only my pets, but they were my family. I had my Labrador for 13 years and my Boxer mix for 15 years. We used to love to take long strolls around the neighborhood and visit our pals at the local dog park. We would cook dinner and lounge around watching our favorite flicks. We even took car rides around town when we got bored. Over the years, we went through everything from crazy puppy phases, to professional command/leash training, and experienced all medical scares (labs love to chew on EVERYTHING) under the sun. I can assist with any type of need ranging from long walks, simple belly rubs, to training help. Maple, my lab, was a diabetic for 7 years, requiring insulin injections. I am highly experienced in administering topical, oral and injectable medications, as well as eye and ear medications. The care needed for my senior dogs helped build my knowledge on many types of medications and daily care pills. Whatever the need may be, just ask me! EDUCATION: I am a graduate with my b.s. in buisness from Purdue. I currently am a stay at home mother, with much freedom to build my own schedule. Therefore I am always available for drop-ins and pup walks throughout the week and weekends. I am completely insured with $1M general liability, Animal Bailee Insurance, and Vet Protection Coverage. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own pets, like family. Play time, walks, relaxing on the couch, eating treats, you know... just hanging out.
About: I’m a military veteran who loves animals and understands how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to giving your pet plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I plan my day around feeding times, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and check ins, making sure each pet receives attentive care without feeling rushed. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions given by the owner.
About: Hi, I’m Kendall! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and have been providing pet care through Rover since 2023. I’m a proud cat mom to Topaz and Turbo, and I believe pets thrive with a balance of love, exercise, mental enrichment, and consistency. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and one-on-one doggy daycare for personalized attention. I enjoy learning about animal behavior and training, and I love helping pets stay active, confident, and engaged. I also have experience caring for very young animals, including bottle-feeding newborn kittens. When you trust me with your pet, you can expect reliable care, regular updates, plenty of affection, and someone who treats your furry family member like one of their own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I also am now a GoodPup Certified Trainer. I have plenty of time to give your all of your furry pets all the love and attention they will need while you are away. My schedule is updated regularly and I will be sure to fit my schedule around your needs once booked. One question I always ask my clients is “how long can your pet be alone?”. I adhere to those guidelines. I have plenty of experience with dogs & cats. I have dog/cat and house sit for the last several years for clients when they were out of town on vacation. I promise to provide your pups or kitties with safe, loving care.
About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.
About: Hey there! My name is Audrey and I've been an animal lover since very a young age. Grew up on a farm and started watching for family and friends about 10 years old. From chickens, cows, horses, you name it I've cared for it! I take care of my parents Shih Tzu Dollie (named after Mrs Dolly Parton, because of her big attitude and sass!). *****My husband Joey occasionally assists me with pet sitting and care. We have many people that we have watched pets for together. We just love giving all animals love and affection they deserve. I'm currently a full time worker, but only working Wednesday to Saturday 7:30a to 6p. So I am available to cuddle and play with your furry family member on my days off and if your comfortable with care morning before and after my work schedule. My husband currently works 8a-4p in Plainfield as well, but he’s able to assist with midday potty breaks and care if you so desire! My husband and I take the atmost care of your furry family member making sure their bellies are full and they have plenty of cuddles and play time in the comfort of your own home!

“Valerie has been checking in on our pup for the last several weeks and taking him for walks and we couldn’t recommend her more! She is very easy to communicate with and is great at keeping us updated about how he is doing! We will definitely continue asking her to take our doggo on walks!”
About: I’ve been looking after my family’s, as well as my own animals for years. I can appropriately handle both higher and lower energy animals, as well as care for animals that need special attention. Two of my kittens have asthma so I’m good with around the clock medications when they are needed. I’m currently a freshman in college, I have a part time job with super flexible hours and work schedules. I don’t mind staying over or even dropping by every few hours if they don’t need 24 hour supervision. I am very capable of taking larger or even smaller dogs on walks if needed, or just keeping an eye on them in the yard. I don’t mind cleaning up after them as well. Most of the cats that I have are rescues and require taking medication so I do have experience with administering those when needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was twelve when my family got the first dog. I have always loved animals and have since owned three cats and volunteered at numerous animal welfare organizations. I currently work full-time, but I have the availability to come visit and walk throughout the week and ensure your pet gets let out in a timely manner. I absolutely spoil my cat and plan to grow my family in the near future! I would treat your pet as my own throughout their duration of care.
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 !

About: I have had a Newfoundland for the last 8 years, he is back at home with my parents. I also just recently got a golden retriever/australian shepherd mix who is now 6 months old! I have always loved animals, especially dogs and I would love to get the opportunity to work with you and your dogs. It would also provide excellent socialization skills with my dog now. I don't have a lot of experience with small dogs, but I am more than willing to walk them and play with them. Since my dog is a large breed, I am more comfortable having medium and large+ breeds around him. He is very gentle and loves to play. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
About: I have been a lover of animals since I was a kid, I was always surrounded by dogs and cats! I have sat many people’s animals within my family and friends and I even have a dog and cat of my own! I work part time at Amazon, so I’m only gone for a few hours in the mornings. The rest of the day I usually spend with my pets, and/ or with yours! I care for pets in my home/ other people’s homes by making sure they’re fed, their water is clean and they have had plenty of play time with me or other animals, and of course, lots of cuddles!! (If they like cuddles.)
“I reviewed a few months ago and wanted to follow up. At this point Zach has watched all my pups and I can’t stress enough how great he is. He takes the time to build with each dog, he asks a lot of questions, and genuinely cares about making sure they feel as comfortable as possible when we are gone. He is such a good dog sitter, and a really great guy in general. The only down side is now we don’t want to share him! Haha. Honestly though, your dog would be in very capable hands. Thanks Zach!”
About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.

About: What makes me different is I really care and pay attention to pets, not just watch them. I’ve worked with puppies so I know how to keep them active, on routine, and help with training. I’ve also cared for older pets, giving them patience, comfort, and making sure they get what they need. I’m reliable with feeding, walks, playtime, and just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I stick to their routines, provide walks, potty breaks, crate if needed, and give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. Safety, trust, and comfort always come first in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I love dogs of all sizes. A lot of my clients I dog sit for reply on me for letting their dogs out, playing with them, giving them lots of love and treats - of course, and taking them on walks I’m currently working part time so I will have time to let your dogs out and feed them. My work schedule is also super flexible. I like to follow instructions given to me by the owner(s). Whatever you would like to happen, I’m open to. If you prefer for me to crate your dogs when I leave, I can. If you prefer for them to free roam, I can also do that.
About: I love bonding and interacting with the families and their pets. I love the enjoyment of animals and giving them extra love while their owners are away! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I'm able to stop by during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feedings, and check-ins when needed. Before and after work, I dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to give your pet the attention, love, and care they deserve. I can't currently have animals stay in my home. But depending on what the client is looking for, I can drop by their home and visit or stay with that animal if need be.
About: I’m a longtime pet owner of animals ranging from cats and dogs to goats and chickens! I’m always up for a challenge but enjoy a nice walk and a quiet evening on the couch just as much. I’m a DC based consultant working full-time in a hybrid working environment, so I’m always free on weekends and evenings though TBD during the day time. I love long walks and getting to enjoy the city. My schedule fluctuates often and does not put me in the best position to be a permanent pet parent. But I would be just as happy getting to spend a few hours or days with with yours! I live in an English basement on a quiet, tree lined street in the city. I love long walks, and live by many a dog park and am happy to bring your pet where they’re most comfortable. I currently do not have any pets so yours would have full reign of my apartment!
About: I've been taking care of my own personal pets since I was 12. I would train, feed, and walk them. This includes my current pets. I'm a school assistant so I have a lot of available during the summer. Ill be working around my kids schedule, but still have a lot of flexibility.

“Kelly took excellent care of our dog and he had tons of fun! She sent pics and videos daily to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend and would allow her to keep our furry friend again.”
“Indy loved his week with Diana and Kevin. Lots of walks, playtime and even snuggled in bed! Loved all the picture updates we received and look forward to booking again for our next trip!”
“I’m always nervous leaving my dogs with sitters, but Odalys set my mind at ease. She knew exactly how to handle my little dogs and sent me plenty of photos so I could see how they were doing. I’ll definitely use her again in the future!”
“Melissa was great! She gave frequent updates on our dogs while boarding with her. She is very fast to respond to questions. Would definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“Tracy watched our two puggles for 5 days. She sent pictures updating me on how they were doing. She was very responsive and our boys were well loved and taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Our puppy had a great stay with Shea, her son, and their dog Banta. My only complaint is that Pepper had so much fun she was sad to come home! Shea has a great setup at her home to keep your dog safe and active.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She was so sweet and kept me updated the entire time with tons of pictures and messages. Cooper had an absolute blast at her house, especially playing with her dog. It made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I am so grateful to have found people that can take care of my Cocoa when I go out of town. They were very kind and accommodating. I could tell my girl had a great time.”
“Jessica and David took great care of Mocha. They communicated well, sent us lovely photos of our pooch during her stay, and treated her to a walk, car ride and pup cup. They are true dog people! Absolutely would book them again.”
“Rajesh was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment I left my pup, I knew he was in great hands. He treated him like family and went above and beyond by sending daily updates with photos and videos. It meant so much to see how happy and well cared for my dog was. I would 100% book with him again!”
“Victoria and her family were wonderful. We appreciated the updates, and Banner seemed happy and well cared for. We will certainly use her again when the need arises! Thank you!”
“This was our first time leaving our boxer with anyone. Derrick was great. We felt like he treated our dog like his own. Appreciated the pictures he sent when he took her for a walk. His house is set up so the pets he’s watching have their own room with a bed and couch. We really appreciated that she wasn’t out in a kennel. We will definitely use Derrick again.”
“Josh and Katie were wonderful pet sitters! They provided individualized care, made sure that my pup felt safe and comfortable, and provided daily updates with photos. I am beyond happy to have found such a wonderful family that I feel safe leaving my pup with. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Amy and Caleb T. are a couple of rock stars in the pet care industry. I truly appreciate the clear communication they provided from the beginning. They were able to accommodate my dog and me on short notice. Even on a few days’ notice, we were able to have a quick meet-and-greet, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. I also appreciate the pictures they sent me during my trip, which made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was having a great time with them. I definitely plan to book with them in the future because of their exceptional service. From any concerns they may have had to the fun-loving pictures they sent me, everything was great. Thank you all so much for taking care of my boy.”
