“We can’t thank Debra & Michael enough for taking the best care of our Emme girl! I could tell from the minute I met them how amazing they were. I couldn’t have found a better couple to take care of our girl. Thank you so much!!! ❤️”

“Emmitt had a good time with Mandy and her family. Her house was perfectly set up, great yard. Daily updates with photos. Emmitt had a lot of playtime and exercise. First time using Rover, I feel like Mandy was the right caretaker for my pet. She made us feel comfortable and I would definitely use her services again.”

“I am so glad I met Joy and Dan through here! Our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to being sick and with only a days notice they were able to set up a same day meet and greet. I left their feeling more then confident about them and dropped off my boxer Lola the next day. Within seconds of us dropping off I got an adorable picture of Lola getting belly rubs from her children, she was definitely in doggy heaven. We recieved a couple more pictures throughout her stay and my mind was definitely put at ease and I knew she was in great hands. They will definitely be my go to sitters from now on and I highly recommend them! Thanks Joy and Dan!”

“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”

“April was great! From one sitter to another I appreciated her experience, professionalism and care. My dogs had a great time with her, and I had peace of mind knowing my mischievous beagles were in good hands!”

“Excellent care. Our senior dog was well cared for while staying with Barbara. Daily updates and photos let us know our pup was happy. Highly recommend Barbara and we will definitely book again!”

“Excellent. Gave us a ton of picture, more than any other sitter we’ve had on rover. And due to issues at airport I was an hour late picking her up, and she was totally accommodating. Highly recommended!”


“Our experience with boarding our dog with Nancy couldn’t have been any more perfect. On top of her personal kindness, the daily photos & reassurance of our dog’s stay was extraordinary. I don’t have enough positive words to explain our experience. Highly recommend booking with Nancy!”

“Noel was incredibly accommodating, especially considering our last-minute request. She kept us informed and shared lovely pictures of our fur baby throughout his stay. He appeared so happy and relaxed! Thank you for everything!”

“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“5-star stay for the Pups, Giannina is so kind and warm. Her home has an excellent set-up to host, including a large fenced in yard. She is an communication pro and we could not have been happier with her frequent updates. Our dogs were well cared for, and we could tell they had a great time with Giannina. Two thumbs up as high as they go!”

“Bernice was just the family away from home that Milo needed. I could tell he immediately felt right at home. I loved how she kept me posted the entire time of how he was doing and sent pics. She was exceptional and we will definitely be using her in the future when we come this way.”

“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”

“We felt our dog was loved and well cared for with Cassidy. She sent photos and updates, which we love because when we are out of town we are always thinking about our dog. We will use her again!”

“Lindsey was incredible with our 7-month-old German Shepherd, Luna! Luna is usually scared of people when she first meets them, but Lindsey quickly made her feel comfortable and at ease. This was Luna’s first time away from us, and Lindsey went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well cared for. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even sent us regular photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in great hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and Lindsey will absolutely be our first choice if we need a sitter again. Highly recommend!”


“Cathy is so lovely and caring. She has watched our pups in last minute situations and has been wonderfully accommodating. I think one of the dogs might break his tail from wagging it so hard with excitement when we pull into her driveway. Thank you Cathy!”

“Jasmine was the bomb super nice and caring. She also sends pics and she wash my baby and got her eye boogers out. Thank you Jas. Easy to work with and contact. I will def use her again and I recommend her totally. Thank you rover and thank you Jasmine. P.s. when Jas ask could she say bye to my Hunni I was super touched.”

“I highly recommend Mackenzie!! She is very reliable and communicates with you before and during her stay. And sends lots of pictures. She stayed with my cat and took great care of him. And also fed my fish and kept house in nice condition.”


“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time hiring a sitter off Rover and naturally I was a bit nervous to do so but when I came across her profile and saw how much experience she has with all kinds of animals, I knew my kitties would be taken great care of! She was always available and dropped in every day to give me updates and pictures. I would 1000% hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a 5 star sitter! Your babies will get the best care in Hannah's hands! :)”

“Heather takes very good care of my pets when I am out of town. She responds quickly to my Rover pet sitter appointment scheduling and has availability for when we are going on vacation. I recommend her as a pet sitter !!!”


“This was my first time using this service for my cats Symba and Eli. I loved Jasmine's service. She sent plenty of pictures and i could see that they were taken care of very well. I was so pleased. I will definitely contact Jasmine again. If someone is looking for a great service, she is an excellent choice. Love you Jasmine!!!????”


About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working as a veterinary assistant along with my genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being. I have experience helping with feeding routines, exercise, medications, basic grooming, and providing calm, patient care for both energetic pets and older animals who may need extra attention. I understand how important consistency and trust are for pets, so I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m also very dependable, organized, and communicative. I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Once again I have had a great experience with Crystal taking care of my cat. Her timeliness, care, and communications is what will have me hoping to be able to use her services whenever I need them!”

About: I have a shetland sheepdog named Bandit he is only 2yrs old and so rambunctious and is eager to always learn but is snippy at times. He is hyper and loves to play, I walk him twice a day an play with him for 2 hours per day and on the weekend I take him to a dog park to play with the other dogs he absolutely loves it. I’m good with special needs dogs if there are any I work with. I also work with horses and my hobbies include horseback riding and drawing. I also like music and I’m trying to get in shape so running with your dog should help me with that. I work full time right now and only have a few days of the week off but I’m a early riser and love to get the day rolling with a early morning walk with my dog. I always ask for vet info, address, name of clinic and a second phone number if I can’t get ahold of you I ask what your dogs quirks could be or if there’s anything that would catch me off guard.

About: I’ve had my own cats for over a decade. I know how to engage their playful behavior with toys and cat nip. I’ve had years of experiences to draw from, and dealt with everything from fleas and ticks to old age and emergency clean up of pet accidents.

About: My family picked up two stray kittens from the side of the road when I was 9! My family had those cats until I was just fresh out of graduate school and they passed on after a very long life! I do enjoy cats and their quirkiness now, but my dogs would terrorize them if we had them ourselves. I’m happy to get my cat fix through others and love on someone else’s sweet baby!

“I highly recommend Hannah. She did a great job caring for my cat while I was out of town for several days. I just moved into a new house so I was concerned leaving my cat alone and she spent a lot of time here with him. Communication was great. She sent me a lot of pictures. And I could tell that Bruno was in really good hands. I would for sure recommend her to anybody that needs their pet or pets cared for.”

I have two crates, one small for cats and one midsize for dogs. I can crate your dog if needed. I have a small room that they can sleep in to give them privacy. I enjoy walking pets and caring for them daily.
“Eli cared for my boys Symba and Eli for 12 days. I was so blessed to have been able to choose him for this visit. The notes he sent daily told a beautiful little story.

“Mandy took such great care of my pupp. Consistently updated me with pictures. I had no worries with Mandy, I will definitely recommend her to take care of your furry friends.”

“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”

About: My husband and I have been dog owners for many years. We recently lost our Yorkie, Sage, at age 12 to cancer. We decided to not get another dog at this time, but would love to be a pet sitter for your precious pup. Both my husband and I are retired and have regular availability. One of us is home at most times. We would require to meet your pup before the stay to ensure good compatibility. We would walk your dog on a leash. Our yard is large, but not fenced. Easy access for potty breaks. We will have open access to our home unless crating is your preference.
“Very accommodating on such short notice! Sent plenty of pictures of our precious Charlie boy during his daycare stay to let us know he was doing ok! Our dog seemed really comfortable and calm in her care! We will use her again in the future!”

About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.

“Patty’s quick and positive response was very appreciated. She was so sweet to allow (or look the other way :) when Hershey decided to make Patty’s bed her own. Her home is secured with a fence. Also there is a wooded area where her husband, Kevin almost immediately upon our arrival to Hershey walking. Very attentive!”

My husband and two teenagers will also be around to make sure your pets have the best stay ever. I have a fenced in yard and currently, we don’t have any pets after our rescue dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year. At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals.

“Alicia went above and beyond for our baby Jett!! We were in a panic because our original sitter had to cancel last minute and Alicia responded to my request right away and was willing to help us out. She had great communication with us and sent us regular updates through the day. She even took the cutest Christmas photo shoot of Jett! We could not be happier! So thankful to have found Alicia! We will definitely be coming back when we’re in town 😊”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped take care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors—everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays while they’re out of town. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy dogs that need lots of activity and older dogs that need a slower, more gentle approach. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, crate training, and giving medications when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that’s extra playtime, sticking to a strict schedule, or just giving them attention and reassurance, I adjust to what works best for your pet. I also know how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I offer part-time availability with a flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to coordinate timing that works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time. Pets are always supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of the family.
“Marcella was great!! It was my first time using Rover for daycare and she was very cooperative and understanding. I had very specific times of drop off and pick up and Marcella was perfectly accommodating. Also, when Marcella first met my dog I knew my dog would be comfortable spending all day with her. She was very sweet and friendly with my pup and they did end up having a great day together!! Would definitely recommend Marcella for any and all of the Rover services she offers. Thank you Marcella! Until next time!”

“What a find! April had such a gentle nature. She and her dogs quickly won over my clingy Princess. She had a great time and came home tired from all the fun. A great experience!”

“I highly recommend booking doggy daycare with Jesseeka! Rockett and Wrigley fit right in with Coco and Benji. Thanks for a great week and keeping the pups active while I worked!”

“Tracy did an amazing job with my dogs! They can be pretty rowdy, but she handled them with patience and care and even helped improve their leash behavior. I’ve noticed a big difference in how well they walk now. She’s reliable, professional, and clearly loves what she does. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

About: I’ve been caring for and hosting animals for several years. I love animals and would enjoy caring for your furry loved one. I have dogs and cats of my own and we love having new guests over. I enjoy seeing animals happy in my care and provide them with lots of attention, play time, and cuddles if they like it. I ensure to send plenty of photos and videos for you to enjoy of your fur baby. I’m flexible and have experience in walking, caring for, bathing, and hosting various animals. I have experience with senior dogs and cats and dogs and cats with disabilities as well. I also have experience taking care of birds. Feel free to inquire about anything! I’m here to ensure you and your loved one(s) are comfortable during this experience I’m always one message away (: I’m located in Hebron, IN centrally located less than 10 minutes from Crown Point, 15 minutes from Merrillville, 20-25 minutes from Hobart/Gary, 25-30 minutes from Portage, and 15-25 minutes from Valparaiso.

I’m also very dependable, organized, and communicative. I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have a pretty busy schedule balancing college, workouts/practices, and everything else going on. Since I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant before, taking care of animals has become second nature to me. I usually build pet care into my mornings and evenings with feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning up, and just making sure they’re getting attention and affection throughout the day. During the week, I also make time for things like washing bedding or toys, restocking supplies, and keeping up with overall health and wellness. Even when life gets hectic with school, stunt, lifting, or work, I see pet care as something that helps me slow down a little and brings comfort and consistency to my routine. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home and in a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure the environment stays clean and stress-free for them. Because I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, I pay close attention to animal behavior and health, including monitoring for changes in mood, appetite, or energy levels. I am comfortable helping with basic grooming, administering some medications if needed, and following any specific instructions the owner provides. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect the home by keeping everything tidy, following routines carefully, and sending updates or photos so owners feel reassured while they are away.

About: I’ve grown up and been around animals my entire life! I am comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. I spent my college years dog sitting! I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby!! During the school year I am open weeknights and weekends! I always adhere to the boundaries set by the owner, and always do my best to honor the routine your animal is so used to!

About: My name is Hannah, and I've been taking care of pets since a very young age.

I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard.

I would feed them, I would clean up there messes if they have any. I would walk them and play with the for you. I would also stay as long as you need me to at your house!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped take care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors—everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays while they’re out of town. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy dogs that need lots of activity and older dogs that need a slower, more gentle approach. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, crate training, and giving medications when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that’s extra playtime, sticking to a strict schedule, or just giving them attention and reassurance, I adjust to what works best for your pet. I also know how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I offer part-time availability with a flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to coordinate timing that works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time. Pets are always supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of the family.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love animals of every kind. I love playing and snuggling with animals and have always loved to care for friends’ pets. At parties, you can usually find me talking to the dogs or cats! After May 31, I will be free all day and will be able to provide continuous care if needed. My husband and two teenagers will also be around to make sure your pets have the best stay ever. I have a fenced in yard and currently, we don’t have any pets after our rescue dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year. At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals. I am also happy to come to your house, as I know many pets are comfortable in their own space.
About: Experienced with small and large dogs, from Maltese to Malinois and Golden Retrievers. Reliable teacher who loves walks, playtime, belly rubs, and caring for pets. I am a teacher on summer break. I am available mostly weekdays, but open to weekends when free. I would only have to leave for an hour to go to the gym. I enjoy getting outside for walks during the day and love taking dogs to parks and open trails for fresh air, exercise, fun, and adventure.

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.

“My two dogs had such a great time with Nichole! She provided updates and pictures. I knew they were in good hands and put my mind at ease! We will definitely be using Nichole again!”

“Emmitt had a good time with Mandy and her family. Her house was perfectly set up, great yard. Daily updates with photos. Emmitt had a lot of playtime and exercise. First time using Rover, I feel like Mandy was the right caretaker for my pet. She made us feel comfortable and I would definitely use her services again.”

“I am so glad I met Joy and Dan through here! Our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to being sick and with only a days notice they were able to set up a same day meet and greet. I left their feeling more then confident about them and dropped off my boxer Lola the next day. Within seconds of us dropping off I got an adorable picture of Lola getting belly rubs from her children, she was definitely in doggy heaven. We recieved a couple more pictures throughout her stay and my mind was definitely put at ease and I knew she was in great hands. They will definitely be my go to sitters from now on and I highly recommend them! Thanks Joy and Dan!”

“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”

“April was great! From one sitter to another I appreciated her experience, professionalism and care. My dogs had a great time with her, and I had peace of mind knowing my mischievous beagles were in good hands!”

“Excellent. Gave us a ton of picture, more than any other sitter we’ve had on rover. And due to issues at airport I was an hour late picking her up, and she was totally accommodating. Highly recommended!”

“Noel was incredibly accommodating, especially considering our last-minute request. She kept us informed and shared lovely pictures of our fur baby throughout his stay. He appeared so happy and relaxed! Thank you for everything!”

“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”

“Lindsey was incredible with our 7-month-old German Shepherd, Luna! Luna is usually scared of people when she first meets them, but Lindsey quickly made her feel comfortable and at ease. This was Luna’s first time away from us, and Lindsey went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well cared for. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even sent us regular photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in great hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and Lindsey will absolutely be our first choice if we need a sitter again. Highly recommend!”


“Cathy is so lovely and caring. She has watched our pups in last minute situations and has been wonderfully accommodating. I think one of the dogs might break his tail from wagging it so hard with excitement when we pull into her driveway. Thank you Cathy!”


“Was very happy with the care that Eleanor gave to our Sunny girl. She sent pictures and texts and made us feel comfortable with her stay.Sunny came home happy, but a little tired. Guess she just had too much fun. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thanks, Eleanor!”

“Mariah was amazing with Graham. She kept me updated with information and pictures throughout my entire trip. I never once had a worry that my pup wasn’t in good hands because he was smiling and running around in every picture. Will continue to book when I am in town and recommend others to do so as well!”

“Meredith was just amazing. She handled my crazy dog along with her family and dogs like a champ. My pup seemed to greatly enjoy herself. Along with a happy pup, my dog came home with a few more manners. We will use her in the future for sure. 😊”

“Toya was a wonderful sitter. We had to shift our boarding days last minute from Fri-Mon to Thurs-Sun last minute and she was able to accommodate without a problem. She was also very responsive and would reply back to any questions or check-ins within minutes. We especially loved her family environment which I feel was very comforting to our Brick. He seemed very comfortable when he first arrived and upon pick-up from his 3 night stay. We will definitely use Toya’s services again!”

“Omg!!! I’m so happy I found Sheree! I’m a nervous Nancy when I have to leave Oreo. He enjoyed himself fully. Sheree sent plenty of pictures and kept me informed of his day. The stay also was beneficial to Oreo to help him be more socialized. He will be back…very soon.”

“Lali was awesome! Being new to the area. We had a hard time putting our trust in someone who could watch Rusty. He came home clean and happy!! Her dogs played really well with him. No issues whatsoever.”

“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”

“Holly did an amazing job watching our two dogs! She was attentive, communicative, and treated them like her own. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Our pups came back happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Holly and would absolutely book with her again!”
