“Sarah was so great! She sent me photos all throughout his stay and was very communicative! I know my bubba felt safe and comfortable with her and we will be back for more visits!”
“Keli took wonderful care of my two dogs. She was very attentive, and I felt completely at ease knowing both of them were safe in her home — including my senior dog and my escape-artist dog. Her own dog Remi is very friendly and got along great with my older dog King. I really appreciate how thoughtfully she cared for them and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful with Bella. They were understanding and supportive of her separation anxiety, making me feel at ease while I was out of town. Bella came home happy and loved; I am so grateful that I found Emily. Definitely hope to book her the next time we go out on vacation.”
“Brianna took great care of my doggo and was prompt with all communications, updates, and photos. I feel comfortable leaving my dog there and will definitely rebook!”
“I left my dog with Diandra, who's home is clean and organized, her dogs are calm and submissive. My dog Annie, I believe had a great time spending time with them I would not hesitate rebooking with Diandra.”
“We’re so glad we found Diane + Kevin! Our girl was in complete heaven the entire time. We received several pictures and updates throughout. Diane + Kevin are a great stay for your pups!”
“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.”
“Our 1 y/o charcoal lab Maverick recently stayed with Sarah and her family for an overnight boarding and cannot say enough good things about this first experience using her. I was very apprehensive, as we'd never used Rover or boarded our dog before, but Sarah and her family made me feel very at ease and were so extremely understanding when we were hours late picking him up due to weather as we were traveling back from our out of state trip. She was wonderful with keeping me up to date on his behavior and how he was handling the stay and sent numerous photos and videos while we were away. 10/10 experience!”
“I thought Bailey was well cared for and loved by Rachel and her family. She would send me pics and updates on her. She was excited when I came to pick her up so I knew right then and there she was loved and cared for. Thank you”
“When AJ is staying with Emily and family, I know That he is being loved on like crazy. She makes the entire stay, from booking to pickup, exceptionally easy and has always had great communication! We appreciate that we can enjoy our trips without any worry about our dog!”
“Tracy was fantastic. Our dog got sick with bladder stones and she was willing to take him to the vet and administer meds for him. She was responsive, kind, and took a ton of photos while we were gone. Would highly recommend.”
“We left our Nellie in the very capable hands of Alyssa while we were on vacation. Alyssa sent multiple daily updates and was so attentive to Nellie and her cautious disposition. We can’t thank Alyssa and her family enough for caring for our girl!”
“Bill kept us apprised of Buddy’s stay. Buddy seemed relaxed with Bill, and because Buddy is not the friendliest dog, that told me that Buddy was in great hands. We would love to use Bill’s services again in the future!”
“Jurnee A FIVE STAR Rover Dog Sitter. Highly recommend. Our first stay over for our Toby since we just moved to Whitestown IN. A very nice and kind sitter. Our Toby loved playing with her dog-friendly puppies. Blessings Steve & Debi”

“Alissa took great care of our crew of kitties! She made friends with all of them, including our most anxious and skittish of the group. We got pictures of them throughout the day and we could see they were happy and content! She was able to give the variety of medicine they needed without issue too!”
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.
“Brianna did a great job taking care of (and cleaning up after) my messy cat while I was away! She was extremely prompt in replying to queries and providing updates, and willing to go beyond the call of duty in checking in on the cat. Highly recommended sitter!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Cali is wonderful with our cats. She keeps us informed with daily detailed updates along with multiple pictures. We had issues with another sitter we had booked and Cali was able to step in last minute. I appreciate her flexibility and accountability. I would definitely recommend her and we plan on rebooking again in the future.”
About: I’ve worked with both cats and dogs in a humane shelter setting for multiple years, and I’m ready to meet and get to know your pet! I work full-time but mostly weekends and evenings. I have most weekdays off of work and am always available for a morning check-in for your pet. I am able to move pets between rooms and crate animals if needed in your home. I do not host pets for boarding at my own home.
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, including shy and senior cats. I'm patient, gentle, and attentive to their routines, behaviors, and preferences. I always maintain a clean litter box, ensure fresh food and water, and provide calm, loving care. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. What sets me apart is my respect for each cat’s unique personality and my ability to create a stress-free, trusting environment where they feel safe and comfortable.
“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: I have been pet-sitting since I was a child, for the neighborhood. It all started with a cat next door, named Honey. Since then, I have close to 30 years of experience in Veterinary Medicine. I have 3 cats of my own, currently, but have had others in the past, too. I LOVE my furry feline friends!
About: My name is Josh Clemens and I am a dog person. I have had animals my entire life, and I personally trained my own service dog. I truly believe animals are better than people and I love spending time with them. For me time with your pet isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity to make a friend! I know each pet is different and I work hard to meet each client’s specific needs. I love animals and if you choose to work with me, I believe you’ll see, they love me too! I only care for pets in client’s homes, not my own home. I specialize in custom in home service. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed. I care for all the animals I work with as if they were my own, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make my customers happy. Every first visit comes with a free toy! I work part time remotely so my schedule can be changed and worked around so no change in your pets’ schedules will be needed. For them it will be as if nothing has changed. I care for pets in my clients homes not my own home. I will come to your house and stay there essentially 24/7 to make sure your pets have optimal care.
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: As a devoted dog lover, I stand out with specialized skills in puppy training. I have experience with my own pup and love spending time with animals. Your pet isn't just a client – they're family. I bring the same love and care I give to my own beloved dog, ensuring a tailored and compassionate experience for your furry friend. As a teacher, I prioritize creating a structured routine for pets. Daily walks, playtime, and feeding align seamlessly with my schedule, ensuring your pet receives consistent care and attention. Weekends offer extended quality time for additional activities and outings. In both my home and yours, I provide a nurturing environment for pets. This includes regular feeding, interactive play, walks, and, if needed, administering any medications. Whether it's cuddle time on the couch or outdoor adventures, I tailor my care to meet the unique needs and preferences of each pet in my charge.

“Our dog loves Brianna and Ali so much! He would get so excited every morning when he saw them. She is very reliable and great at communicating. I would highly recommend!”
“Sarah watches or boards our dog all the time, we love her! She sends pics often which I appreciate, and I know she’s in good hands when she’s in her care! Phoenix is a lap dog and I get lots of pics of her wrapped up in a blanket in hers or her husbands laps!”
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve been a doggo lover my entire life. I got my first pup my senior year of high school and he’s my best friend to this day. At home I’m now a doggo dad of 4. Winston, Calvin, Winnie, & Junior. My daily experience of over 10 years has taught me how to handle everything from high energy zoomies to picky eater senior dogs (my chihuahua). If it’s a quick walk around the block, a full day of adventures, or just coming to check in and feed, I treat every pet like my own. Really paying attention to their routine, safety, exercise, and lots of affection. I’d love to bring that type of care to your fur babies. I am as flexible as it gets. My other job is delivering groceries for Walmart which I also make my own hours for. I am available and compatible to match the schedule and services you need. My home is a secure, pet friendly fenced in yard. I would never leave your fur babies outside without supervision. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My dogs are very friendly but can be totally isolated from your pets if that’s what you request. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, following your instructions exactly, and I will send updates with photos so you can see your fur babies happy and safe. You can trust your pet will be in a loving, attentive, and safe environment just like my own pack receives every day.
“As always, Hank had SO MUCH fun today with Mrs. Emily!! He got to play outside with the other dogs and dig in the dirt, and those are his most favorite things to do!! (He also got a bath after covering himself in dirt:) And mom gets to go to work worry free when Hank is with her.. We’re SOO thankful we found Mrs. Emily!! She’s the best sitter EVER!!!!”
“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!!”
“Brittany, was wonderful with my little Maggie and her dog Waylon was great with Maggie too!! She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I will definitely use 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!”
“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.”
“Our dogs loved their time at Kelli's! She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Kelli provided photos and updates during the day and is really communicative. Her fenced-in back yard provides a great opportunity for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs were worn out from playing and having such a good time! I would definitely love to use Kelli again.”
About: I love all animals, and you can rest assured that I will treat your's like one of my own. I'm competent, dependable, responsible, fun, and I can follow directions. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats, but I'm equally comfortable and capable of house sitting and/or taking care of any animals you may have! I work a full time job from home and have a 14 year old son. We have a 1 year old aussie/blue heeler mix that loves playmates! My yard is fully privacy fenced. I love animals and just adore meeting yours. 🥰 I'm trustworthy, responsible, and will take care of your pets and property with the upmost respect. You can return to a home exactly like you left it or better. Your pet will be well taken care of in my home and loved/cuddled like my own.
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!
“I am so grateful for the care Amelia provided my little June Bug. June played her little heart out, went for a walk and received so much loving attention. I highly recommend Amelia!”
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for our own beloved Labs. We had the joy of raising a chocolate Lab for 16 years and a silver Lab for 12 years — they were family in every sense of the word. After saying goodbye to both of them in 2024 and 2025, our home felt a little too quiet. We’re not quite ready to adopt again, but our hearts and home are wide open. That’s what brought us to Rover. We know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your dog, and we take that responsibility seriously. Your pup will be welcomed into our home the same way we cared for ours — with patience, love, and the kind of attention only dog people can give. We have a fully fenced in yard for safe outdoor play, plus plenty of walking paths right in our neighborhood to keep your dog active and happy. Both my husband and I work from home full time, which means your pup is never left alone. We’re here throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, and routine walks — keeping their schedule as normal and stress-free as possible. Your dog will be in a safe, loving environment from the moment they arrive. Our home features a fully fenced yard for worry-free outdoor play and neighborhood walking paths for daily exercise. We also have a cozy dog bed ready for naps and downtime, but couch cuddles and sleeping in bed are more than welcome too — whatever makes your pup feel most at home.

About: I currently work at a veterinarian clinic and deal with all types or breeds and temperaments. I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I would help with playgroups, walks, medication administration, and bathing. I have helped with potty and crate training, including my own dogs. I have a crate and rotate situation in my own home, so I understand that not all dogs can be around others. I would help on my days off at the vet clinic. I am always off on Sundays and major holidays. I would also try to fit any pet care on my days I work as well. I have a crate and rotate situation in my home. I know to take extra care to make sure my non dog friendly dog is up prior to letting any others out. I double check to make sure the crate doors are latched. I also make sure my own gate is closed because I would hate for one of my dogs to get out.
“Katie’s first day with dog walking was a success. I loved her pictures and very complete reports. On the meet and greet Brody loved Katie. Katie is obviously a dog lover and knows and understands how to make them happy and content.”
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 love and enjoy all breeds. I enjoy different pet personalities and learning their unique traits. I've had my own dogs and cats and have helped others with their pets. I'm currently not working a full time job and looking to fill my time playing with you fur babies. I'm adaptable to schedules and dependable. My yard is fenced and my dog enjoys the home to its fullest. As a black lab puppy he does crate for short times if I'm not home, but other then that he is out and about. There's a space for him in almost every room.
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 ! I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard ! I also have a dog which is a golden retriever and she loves other dogs !
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: It all started with the next-door neighbor's cat, Honey. She was my first pet I took care of when they went out of town. I have always loved animals. Since then, I have had (so many!) of my own pets, and I got into the Veterinary Business as a young adult. I spent close to 30 years in VetMed, and now co-own a dog training business. I can not only love and cuddle your pets while away, but I am very comfortable administering medications (including injections), trimming toenails and cleaning ears! I can't wait to meet and fall in love with your babies! I am flexible, but do have to work around a Full-Time job. I also co-own a business, but I can make my own schedule around other things. (One of the perks of business ownership.) I am trustworthy, and can provide references upon request. I will treat your home and your babies as if they were my own. I will also water plants and bring in mail!
About: I have always taken care of family pets, and within the last 3 years have opened up to family friends, and their friends who looked for pet care. I do not limit myself to just cats and dogs, I can care for more exotic animals such as ferrets, turtles, reptiles, rabbits, etc. I am able to administer medications as needed. Pet sitting is a big part of my schedule. I have spent up to 3 weeks caring for family pets, both overnights and drop ins. Although I have the families I love to care for, I am excited to meet some friendly faces and give more love to! I care for peoples pets preferably in their own homes. I always like to do a meet-and-greet following up to my stays/visits. I always follow how parents ask for me to care for each pet to keep them in a routine they know and love.
About: I can’t remember a time I haven’t had at least one dog in my home, from rescues to puppies to fostering! I have been trusted to care for pets of friends and family’s pets for years when they needed the help! I have a Great Dane and a long-haired tuxedo cat 🐾🩷 I am currently a full-time nursing student finishing up my RN, and my schedule is generally pretty flexible. I expect to have more time this summer after I graduate as well! I can do check-ins on your pets, feed as needed, take them on walks, and spend a little time with them to help break up their day. I am able to administer medication as well, and have lots of experience with puppies.
About: 3 years ago I raised a litter of 10 golden retriever pups and it was as rewarding as it was challenging! Loved every minute though. 😊 My availability is wide open at the moment! Needing a career change and dogsitting/walking/care would make me much happier then being stuck in an office! Our apartment doesn't allow pets unfortunately but I am more than happy to provide services in home or at a park, whichever is more preferable.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up around dogs, cats, and pretty much every pet in the neighborhood, so being around them just feels like home. I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young, and it kind of grew from there through word of mouth, which honestly means the world to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or just sitting quietly with a pet who needs some company. Every animal has their own personality, and getting to know that is honestly my favorite part of the job. My schedule is super flexible — honestly, anytime works for me. I'm self-employed, so I have the freedom to be available whenever your pet needs me, whether that's early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last-minute bookings. No 9-to-5 restrictions here! Your pet will never feel like they're being squeezed into a busy schedule — they'll always have my full attention. When I'm in your home, I treat it like my own — with respect, care, and a lot of love for your pet. I follow whatever routine your pet is used to because consistency matters, especially when you're away. I'm not just popping in to check a box — I'm fully present, keeping things comfortable and familiar so your pet barely notices you're gone. Your home and your fur baby are in good hands.
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've been taking care of dogs almost all my life. I've had so many different breeds in my lifetime. I love all kinds of animals but definitely have to say dogs are my favorite! I work on my time. I book cleanings and caregiving help to older adults. So if I have a job for sitting lined up I just don't accept any cleaning jobs. I do sitting, walking, and boarding. I can accommodate up to two large dogs and I have a safe area for walks and playtime. I also can come to pets home if needed to do potty breaks ect.
“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’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. Neighbors, family members, and friends have counted on me to take care of them such as feeding, bathing, walking, etc. I have 3 animals that I care for 24/7 and I am currently in college as a vet tech and work with exotic animals at Indianapolis Zoo so I work with animals around the clock! I give walks for about 2-3 hours and feeding time in between. I bath the dog if necessary and will do whatever it takes to make your dog or cat feel happy and comfortable. I have a lovely golden doodle named bear that is a sweetheart to all dogs and a loving family that loves and takes care of yours. If your dog needs to be crated, let me ahead of time and I will see to it that your dog is happy and safe. I have two cats as well named Satoshi and Jackie who are loving with all animals as well. All the animals are fixed so no worries there! I can also take care of exotic pets as well since I have the experience so please feel free to reach out!

About: Hi! I am a first year veterinary medicine student and have experience with a variety of different animals. I have worked as a veterinary technician, so I have been trained in first aid, as well as oral and injectable medication administration. I can accommodate pets of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions. I have experience working with shelter animals, and have also worked for three years training, caring for, and socializing puppies. This has provided me with the experience and knowledge to care for a variety of animals, including pets with special needs and those with reactivity and/or anxiety. Their comfort is my biggest priority, so I’m more than happy to accommodate any special requests! I am an experienced incoming veterinary student and devote my summers to pet sitting and care, so I am very flexible in terms of scheduling and accommodating your pet! I grew up with a pup who required special attention for his anxiety, so I have endless patience and experience with dogs who need a more quiet, patient approach! I also have experience walking very large, reactive, and/or high energy type dogs through my volunteering at the humane society.
About: I am a veterinary assistant and previously worked at a doggy salon so I can assist with any necessary medication administration or grooming procedures such as nail trims and baths. I have my own personal transportation and materials. I am flexible to what the pet owner requests and am flexible on times and scheduling. Treats and rewards are provided unless requested otherwise. 4 dogs and 5 cats in my home but pets can be easily separated if requested by owner. Thank you! I work on the weekends so I am able to take care of the pets during the week. Animals are my passion and I love meeting new kiddos! I have a fenced in backyard and 4 bedrooms where I can separate the animals if requested. I also have large and medium crates for use if requested. I work full time but I work opposite shifts as my fiancé so someone will always be home to love and care for the pets! I have a fully fenced in yard and 9 animals to keep your pet comfortable. I also have 4 bedrooms so if your pet would rather be away from other animals they can decompress and relax away from everyone else.

“Keli took wonderful care of my two dogs. She was very attentive, and I felt completely at ease knowing both of them were safe in her home — including my senior dog and my escape-artist dog. Her own dog Remi is very friendly and got along great with my older dog King. I really appreciate how thoughtfully she cared for them and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful with Bella. They were understanding and supportive of her separation anxiety, making me feel at ease while I was out of town. Bella came home happy and loved; I am so grateful that I found Emily. Definitely hope to book her the next time we go out on vacation.”
“Brianna took great care of my doggo and was prompt with all communications, updates, and photos. I feel comfortable leaving my dog there and will definitely rebook!”
“I left my dog with Diandra, who's home is clean and organized, her dogs are calm and submissive. My dog Annie, I believe had a great time spending time with them I would not hesitate rebooking with Diandra.”
“We’re so glad we found Diane + Kevin! Our girl was in complete heaven the entire time. We received several pictures and updates throughout. Diane + Kevin are a great stay for your pups!”
“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.”
“Our 1 y/o charcoal lab Maverick recently stayed with Sarah and her family for an overnight boarding and cannot say enough good things about this first experience using her. I was very apprehensive, as we'd never used Rover or boarded our dog before, but Sarah and her family made me feel very at ease and were so extremely understanding when we were hours late picking him up due to weather as we were traveling back from our out of state trip. She was wonderful with keeping me up to date on his behavior and how he was handling the stay and sent numerous photos and videos while we were away. 10/10 experience!”
“I thought Bailey was well cared for and loved by Rachel and her family. She would send me pics and updates on her. She was excited when I came to pick her up so I knew right then and there she was loved and cared for. Thank you”
“When AJ is staying with Emily and family, I know That he is being loved on like crazy. She makes the entire stay, from booking to pickup, exceptionally easy and has always had great communication! We appreciate that we can enjoy our trips without any worry about our dog!”
“Tracy was fantastic. Our dog got sick with bladder stones and she was willing to take him to the vet and administer meds for him. She was responsive, kind, and took a ton of photos while we were gone. Would highly recommend.”
“We left our Nellie in the very capable hands of Alyssa while we were on vacation. Alyssa sent multiple daily updates and was so attentive to Nellie and her cautious disposition. We can’t thank Alyssa and her family enough for caring for our girl!”
“Jurnee A FIVE STAR Rover Dog Sitter. Highly recommend. Our first stay over for our Toby since we just moved to Whitestown IN. A very nice and kind sitter. Our Toby loved playing with her dog-friendly puppies. Blessings Steve & Debi”
“Mrs Susan and Mr Kenny were amazing! I have already booked her for Christmas vacation that we have planned. I never worried about my babies while in her care. We received pics and updates daily and our pups loved their time with Mrs Susan. This is the first time we have ever used a dog sitter that was not family and I hit the jackpot! Thank you Mrs Susan and Mr Kenny.”
“Kate and Josh were responsive and attentive to our two pups the couple of days they were boarding. They were great hosts and send pics daily of the dogs frolicking in the back yard and having a good time. Will definitely plan on taking our dogs there again when we have to go out of town.”
“Lori did an excellent job watching Cooper for a night and day. She took note of all his details upon drop off, had ample backyard space for him to run around and toys for him to play with. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great stay for their pup.”
