“My two senior dogs got excellent care with Monika. I am not sure they wanted to come home! I am using her again next week. Her yard is fenced and she sends pictures and reports which I greatly appreciate. She is the best!!”
“Christopher was very accommodating to our last minute booking request. When we arrived to drop off our dogs, he took the time to show us around the house which gave us peace of mind about where our pups were staying. Very friendly and professional and we felt our pups were in great hands. Highly recommend!”


“This was my first time using Rover for my own dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I felt completely at ease leaving my pups with Brook. She sent daily updates with photos, and it was so nice to see how comfortable they were while there. My dogs loved being around her and her family. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Top notch!! They took care of our 8 month old Labrador while we were on vacation. This is the kind of personalized care we had been looking for to care for our fur baby. We will definitely be booking again!”


“Samantha is the best! This is the 4th time she has watched our puppy. Teddy had a bit of an upset tummy when we dropped him off. She updated us often with how he was doing throughout his stay. We knew he was in good hands. He is all better now. Samantha was also flexible with our pickup time when we arrived home a little later than planned. I highly recommend Samantha.”

“Gabriel took such great care of my dogs. They were very happy when I picked them up. I think they were spoiled while there. He sent daily photos or videos. I will definitely keep him in mind next time we need a sitter.”

Mary, you rock, and we will definitely use your services again when we come back to Indy! Book this woman!! 🥰”

“Bethany was a fantastic dog sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she regularly sent pictures that showed our dog, Gunner was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again!”

“Ms Sharon has kept my fur baby several times when I work out of town. She sends updates/pictures throughout Cali’s stay with her and she doesn’t hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns or questions. She was my first Rover experience and will continue to be Cali’s caretaker anytime boarding is needed. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would.”


“We were so pleased with the care Rubal and her family provided to willow. They were so attentive and provided plenty of updates. Willow was obviously very happy in the videos and photos throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Rubal's AMAZING services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring individual. It was a truly wonderful experience for boTH!”

“Samantha was so great! She was very prompt and communicated super well about my kitty. She sent great pictures and videos and took care of him super well:) would definitely recommend her for all your pet needs!”


“Kari is so sweet and was the best sitter we have had. She watched our four cats for a week and made sure they were very happy. The updates were incredible. She played with all the cats and even did a little extra for us. It was so awesome because my cats can be a bit skittish, but they all LOVED her! I will absolutely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Growing up in a home with dogs taught me how to understand their different personalities, emotional needs, behaviors, and routines beyond just the basics of feeding and walking. I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy while their owners are away. I am patient, attentive, and I have the ability to build trust with animals quickly. I treat every dog like family, paying close attention to their energy, comfort, and individual needs so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently work part time and am home the majority of the week. I have open availability during weekdays from 8am–1pm and 3pm–8pm, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to rather than seeing as just a job. I prefer caring for pets in their own home because it allows them to stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I make it a priority to carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences. I also understand how important trust and communication are, so I will provide regular updates, pictures, and check-ins while owners are away so they can feel reassured that their pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I am Happy and Joyful always and dogs deserve the happiest day as possible! They are the sweetest creatures on planet earth. It’s my pleasure to be there for them! I am the mom of two dogs and I’m currently a student online so I have availability all throughout the day seven days a week! My pets are allowed on the furniture, and they have dog beds and clean water bowls. They get homemade meals, we go on tons of walks in the summertime. They get new toys and fresh femur bones, biweekly and they are not just our pets. They are our family members.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and providing lots of love, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. Your furry friend will be treated like family! I'm available 7 days a week with flexible hours to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m here to provide care whenever you need it! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I’m committed to earning your trust through reliable care, constant communication, and lots of love for your furry family member.

About: I’ve taken care of countless different dogs for years. I have 2 dogs of my own and 3 cats! I’ve also taken care of many friends and families pets. I have worked professionally in pet care as well. I’ve taken care of sick pets, administered medicine, bathed, fed, and just about everything else required to take care of dogs and cats. I run a small cleaning business and am in complete control of my schedule so fitting in time to take care of your pets is very easy! I run a small cleaning business, and control my schedule completely. Which makes it extremely easy to fit in the time to play with and to take care of your pets! When boarding your pets they will have one on one care with myself, let out every 2-4 hours and will be walked in the yard always on a leash (unless requested otherwise). We have a large yard with lots of space for furry friends to play and have a fun. My dogs are very well behaved and typically will stay close by, when we’re in an unfamiliar area they are always on a leash or on a line fixed to a post or tree. I am very familiar with rambunctious pups who get over excited and need to be leashed at all times. My dogs need to be crated at night so doing the same for another dog is no issue.

About: Over the past two years, I’ve been responsible for caring for a Golden Retriever from puppy to adulthood. I’m familiar with maintaining routines, handling energy levels, and making sure dogs feel safe and well cared for. I am a full-time work from home employee and I’m able to care for dogs while I work. I enjoy getting out to walk and play during the the work day. I have a smaller home, approx 900 square feet. It’s a loving home with two teen girls who love to care for dogs. While my yard is not fenced, we leash walk dogs when they need potty time.
“Ms Sharon has kept my fur baby several times when I work out of town. She sends updates/pictures throughout Cali’s stay with her and she doesn’t hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns or questions. She was my first Rover experience and will continue to be Cali’s caretaker anytime boarding is needed. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would.”


“We were so pleased with the care Rubal and her family provided to willow. They were so attentive and provided plenty of updates.

It was a truly wonderful experience for boTH!”

“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”

About: As a college student and lifelong dog lover, I have cared for my own dogs for years, gaining experience with all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently am an online college student and entrepreneur so I can fit in any time to dog sit or simply walk you dog! Can’t wait to meet your furry friends. Creating a safe, cozy space with routine, exercise, and affection is key. Prioritize hygiene, follow training rules, and stay attentive to dogs’ needs and comfort.

About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.
“Samantha was great. I was nervous about leaving Nala with anyone, but we met Samantha and felt at ease. She sent us updates on Nala periodically. When I went to pick Nala up, she seemed very comfortable there. We are definitely going to be using Samantha again on our next trip.”
