“Lindsie provided excellent care and attention for my little boy Otto. She was very good about sending me photos and reassuring me he was doing just fine with her. Otto is a 9 year old Miniature Schnauzer and used to just the two of us being together but he did very well with Lindsie. I highly recommend considering Lindsie as a sitter.”
“Mary Jane took great care of my foster dog Eclipse while I was out of town! I'm so glad she had new doggie friends to play with was able to meet cats. They have a great yard for the dogs to play in, and Eclipse had her very own cozy room to relax during the day and at night. Thank you Mary Jane!”

“Mariah was very thorough in her questions about the care of our two girls. She sent pictures and comments to keep us updated on how they were doing. Would not hesitate to rebook with her.”
“Wonderfully patient with my cat, Charlie, who needed time to adjust to their cat and dog. After spending some solo time with our Charlie in closed off parts of the house, Charlie voluntarily entered the rest of the house, accepting of her new friends! I appreciated Matthew and Ellie taking the required time and care to make the adjustment go well. Will definitely consider using them again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jenna, a lifelong Bloomingtonian and best friend to every dog I’ve ever met! I am a stay-at-home mom to a preschooler and I also help run a national non-profit rescue for French Bulldogs. I have deeply loved several bulldogs in my lifetime, and as such am very adept to handling brachycephalic breeds and their particular needs. (Though it should be noted I tend to regular-nosed breeds with the same loving care!) As a former medical assistant, I am very comfortable caring for animals with moderate medical needs, those with disabilities, those requiring medication administration, etc. I have cared for hospice dogs, dietary restrictions, Mega-esophagus, Colitis, deafness and total blindness. You could say that special needs are my specialty. I have over 20 years of experience helping folks take care of their fur babies, from Pugs to Cane Corsos and lots in between. Dogs have always been my best friends and luckily, lots of humans pick up on that when they meet me. Most of my experience has been private house sitting and in-home pet care for coworkers for periods of a few hours up to a few weeks. I am brand new to Rover, but not new to taking care of animals. I currently work for a dog rescue remotely and am otherwise a stay-at-home-mom to a preschooler. I also provide daily care for one resident special needs rescue French Bulldog. I care for pets in the way that is safest for them, regardless of where that is. In my home, dogs are under my constant care. They will be taken outside on a leash as I do not have a fenced yard.
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your home respectful, and provide regular updates and photos while you are away. I am currently enrolled in classes at IU, so Mondays and Wednesdays are my busiest days, although I am still available during those evenings. I have flexible daytime and nighttime availability the rest of the week, including weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I live in a comfortable apartment with convenient access to dog parks and several local parks for walks, exercise, and playtime. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and safety instructions while keeping pets comfortable and supervised. I will also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy.
“Lucy definitely made my dog feel comfortable. I appreciated the communication since I received a few pictures a day of my dog. Lucy did a great job and made sure to give my dog her medicine. Thank you!”
“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”
“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”
“Tawny was super awesome. I felt 100% about leaving Nisa with her. I always got a sweet picture and update at the end of the day and knew Nisa was happy at Tawny’s doggie paradise.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I am a proud mom of a shih tzu and and a little sassy cat. I have volunteered for animal rescues and would love to watch your fur babies. I work a corporate job 9-5 and I take my lunch to walk my dog. The weekends are usually chill and spent hanging out with my family. I have a fenced in front yard which is shared by the building and a small Shih Tzu to keep your dog company. My schedule is flexible and I can hang out with your pet most of the day/night. We have 3 bedrooms and can give your pet their own space if needed

“Brittney was a wonderful caretaker for my cat and a very reliable person to work with. She brought peace of mind while out of town on a long trip, and I hope to book her for future caretaking opportunities.”
“I booked Sara for the second time, and I couldn't be happier. She is just as careful and attentive as she was the first time. It’s clear that my cat feels comfortable with her and enjoys her company. Sara is now my go-to sitter, and I’ll absolutely use her help again in the future.”
“I am more than just satisfied - I am absolutely thrilled that Emily took care of our kitty while we were on vacation! First of all, Emily responded to my request very quickly, which was incredibly important since we were leaving for our trip just two days later. She was so attentive and professional that even our not-so-affectionate cat started seeking her attention and cuddles. Emily even brought a tablet with games for cats, opened the balcony so Sonic could enjoy some fresh air, and gave him plenty of attention, care, and love. We also received lots of wonderful photos after every visit, it made us feel connected to Sonic while we were away. Everything she did truly went above and beyond our expectations! We will definitely be booking with Emily again and highly recommend her!”
“Adam was a lifesaver for me during the holiday season! His pictures were great and I always felt assured that my fur baby was being cared for. I also appreciated his check in beforehand to meet my cat and see if they were a good match. Adam’s a cut above the rest! :)”
“Sarah saved our lives! We moved to Bloomington shortly after getting married and dont know anybody in town to watch our cats who are basically our children. She really goes above and beyond.”
“It was wonderful having Samantha as my cat sitter. She followed my instructions thoroughly and communicated with me in a timely manner. I was very rest assured thanks to her visit. She does take care of my kitty. I would definitely ask her again in my future trips! 5 stars!”
“Kalee went above and beyond with our two cats while we were away! She was very flexible and really put our cats first to make sure they were getting the attention and care they needed while we were away. We would love for her to watch them again in the future.”
“Patricia took great care of our cat while we were away. She was very responsive to communication and gave us thorough reports for each visit. We really appreciate the time she took to give our cat plenty of playtime and cuddles!”
“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”
“Roudra took care of my cats while I was going through a time in need at minimal charge and lived up to beyond expectations. Her love for animals is clearly sincere. She followed direction perfectly. I recommend her with conviction.”
“Alexa is the best! She was super communicative and flexible with scheduling, she sent me so many cute pics of my kitty during her stay and gave me plenty of updates on how she was doing.”
About: I've only had a cat for a year now, but I take care of him when my roommate needs assistance. I have fed, watered, cleaned his litter box, and played with him while she is gone. I also have learned the body language of cats. Most cats have liked me when I was growing up and I would say I am a pretty patient person, so I don't get upset if they don't initially like me either.
“Casey's response times & communication were excellent. Both in setting up the pet sitting & during her stay @ our house. She sent photos of our kitty letting her pet her, which is amazing because previous sitters have not been able to get our kitty to warm up to them! We were very happy with Casey & clearly our kitty was also. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house. If the dogs over 50 pounds I prefer them to be crate trained.
About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.
About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,

“Scout has special needs. He is blind, diabetic and is reactive to dogs. Mirte has been excellent with walking him. She has also worked with his quirks that makes him difficult to walk. I noticed a difference when I walk him only after 2 weeks. It is a pleasure to have someone dependable and attentive to my needs. I needed immediate help due to a fall with him.”

I can adjust my times to work with your work or vacation schedule I do best with specific instructions.

About: **I have 5 years of experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs.

I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule.

I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.

I also work remote several days a week, so can stop by to check on your pet when needed. I like to ensure that any pets I interact with are at peace and safe. I would actively seek out any boundaries that your pet is displaying and ensure that our interactions are comfortable for them.
About: College student available for part time help. Missing my dogs while at school!! I am a responsible, springer spaniel lover, and have been lifelong dog owner and carer most of my life.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve had all different breeds- from French bulldogs to English Mastiffs. I’m diligent in my work with pets and know how to cater to their specific needs. I’ve been dog sitting for family friends and neighbors since I was 13. I’m currently at Indiana University away from home, but whenever I’m home I am constantly taking care of my 2 dogs. I administer their medication, feed them, go on walks, and generally hang out with them. I have had experience with all shapes and sizes of breeds; ranging from French bulldogs, to golden retrievers, to English mastiffs. I am a major animal person, so being with dogs 24/7 is just in my nature. I will play with the pets, take them on walks, and generally cater to their needs (feeding schedules, administer medication, etc) depending on the dog, as well as the owner’s instructions.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up taking care of my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I was also raised around farm dogs, cats, and large farm animals, which made me very comfortable and confident around all kinds of animals, big or small. Over the years, I’ve done overnight stays, in home pet sitting, and daily care. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I currently don’t live with my two beagles and three cats (they’re at my family home with my parents), and I truly miss being around animals every day. That’s a big reason why I joined Rover, I love the companionship pets bring, and I’d be excited to care for yours while also picking up some extra work. I’m reliable, hardworking, responsible, and genuinely caring. You can count on me to show up, follow instructions closely, and give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’d love to meet you and your pet. I currently work six days a week from 3:30pm-9:30pm. I am fully available all other hours of the week. Also if given two weeks notice am happy to adjust my schedule to your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals from very friendly to shy or anxious so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. I will always follow your instructions carefully and completely, because this is your pet and your guidance matters most. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. I truly believe pets are family members and deserve attentive, compassionate care. At this time, I do not have a fenced yard and am unable to host overnight stays longer than one night. However, if you’re looking for a quick Saturday night sitter, I do have a pet and child free home. There are no unsafe items within reach, and if your pet is crate trained, we have plenty of space to accommodate them comfortably but I also don’t mind a cuddly pet who prefers to sleep on the couch or bed as well. That said, I generally prefer staying overnight in your home, where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I also have references who can attest to my respectful and responsible nature when caring for pets in others’ homes. Having walked my two dogs together for years, I’m confident in my strength and stamina your pup will be safe and secure on walks with me. You can trust that your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have been around dogs and multiple cats ever since I was 5, but have been pet sitting for a year as additional income. I have dog sat a range of breeds from german shepherds to Maltese's. My routine when I go on walks is as needed for the dog, but on average 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon, night) if you live in a neighborhood/condo, may vary depending on location. Please feel free to ask questions! I am currently a senior at Indiana University, and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. So, I will have plenty of time for your pets! I love to go on evening walks with my roommates, play lacrosse, read, and attend IU football games! Ideally I would go to/stay your home so that your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible! I will cater my routine to your pets personality, if they are an early riser, so am I. If they like to lounge and watch 101 Dalmatians, so do I. I am here to make you and your pets lives easier!

About: Hi! I’m Alana 😊 I provide reliable, attentive care so your pet can stay comfortable while you’re away. I started volunteering at a humane society in middle school and later gained hands-on experience shadowing veterinary technicians at IndyVet. This helped me learn how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, pit bulls, cats, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and personalities. I now have three miniature dachshunds of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own! I work full time throughout the week. I am typically available during the evenings on Monday - Thursday, and then all day on Friday - Saturday! Because I have three dogs of my own, I prefer to have your dogs come to my home for overnight sitting. I understand how important our furry friends are and how difficult it can be to be away from them. That’s why I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time. Knowing their routines, preferences, and personality helps me create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away.

“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
