“Outstanding care of our beloved Schnauzer! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased with Chris. Our dog came home happy instead of traumatized when she’s had to stay at kennel. Chris even sent pictures and updates while we were gone. Thank you!”
About: I promise to care for your pet as I would care for my own! I am extremely attentive to my dogs and would expect the same from others.

I always make my dogs a priority and would do the same for others! I am attentive to my dogs and understand how quickly they can wander. I keep a close watch on their behaviors and understand and act upon behaviors that are not normal. My dogs are family and I understand the love owners have towards their animals.
“We felt so comfortable after leaving our golden with Julie!! She sent us updates and photos all the time, and we could tell right away her dogs and our dog would get along perfectly.

About: I have had my own pets ever since being little. I have also worked for a pet sitting business a few years ago that offered many services to their clients. My home is a fun loving home with a daily schedule and lots of love and fun. I am currently a part time worker and I only work 4 days a week for just a few hours during the day. I am home most of the time except if I am running kids to games or practice in the evening. I have a small fenced in area and a doggy door that is available as well. I am also outside often too. We have a quiet and great neighborhood for walks as needed.
About: I have worked with dog rescues since 2018, and have adopted 4 dogs and a cat of my own. I am wanting to help others in and around my community with their pets! My full time job is Monday through Thursday, and I have the capability to care for dogs prior to 9am, and after 8pm. I also can make a stop during the day at almost any requested time for a midday potty break. I will follow directions to ensure I meet the expectations of each individual client. I can exercise your dog whether you want your dog to be leash walked, or to have play time in a fenced yard. I will adhere to feeding schedules, and ensure proper amounts are given to each individual dog. I am also able to give oral and injectable medications as needed.
“Deanna was amazing. She took great care of our three cats. We really appreciated the updates and photos from each of her visits while away traveling. It was a great peace of mind knowing that she was checking in on them each day.”
About: I’ve lived with cats for as long as I can remember. I remember when I was about 10, I bought so many books about cats and decided they were my favorite animal. They are such interesting lil guys that have huge personalities. I love getting to know each individual kitty I meet. I have 7 cats of my own and I know that each one has a weird trait. One is picky about how deep the litter is, one is picky about which bowl she eats from, stuff like that
About: With a background as a Veterinary Tech and a lifetime of personal experience, I offer expert care tailored to your cat's unique personality. Whether your feline friend is a social butterfly who needs non-stop play or a 'wallflower' who prefers quiet companionship from a distance, I excel at reading their cues and respecting their boundaries. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I am highly experienced in daily medication administration and understand the importance of maintaining a routine. I am well-versed in feline enrichment—from providing high-perch views to safe hiding spots—ensuring your cat feels secure, stimulated, and loved while you are away.
About: I have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful to shy. I understand that every cat is different and take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and giving attention at your cat’s pace.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed for about 15 years. My family runs a pet sitting business as well as fostering dogs. I grew up with all kinds of animals my whole life which made me into the animal lover I am today. I’ve been relied on to walk, feed, bathe, and play with the animals all my life. No breed is too much for me! I recently moved to the area, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby and spend plenty of time with them while I’m finding a job that best suits me! I have a pup of my own and he has lots of energy and will keep your fur baby busy! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for your pup to run around!
“Lauran took great care of our two kitties while we were away. She provided detailed updates after each visit, including photos and videos. I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of them! Paco misses her already :)”
About: Experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetics, even pets with heart conditions. I am a very compassionate, protective, cleanly, knowledgeable and fun pet care provider! I pride myself on how excited other dogs become when they see my house upon arrival for a return visit! My double majors from Auburn University, inspired me to be an entrepreneur, doing what I love to carry myself through this profession. I'm very blessed! I seriously LIVE to take care of animals all day, everyday. (Besides planned events or emergencies). I keep all types of bowls clean on a daily basis as well as my yard. No item that can be a potential danger to a pet is within reach in my home. Very early and late potty schedules and safe places to play and walk. If your dog is well trained, I do not put them in the kennel at night. They can sleep with my behaved boys in the dog room. 😊 PLEASE BE AWARE that I require up to date vet documents, (annually), for your pet, solely for liability purposes and for my business records.😊 I do offer a pick up or delivery service for your pet for an additional $10 per trip. (Within a 15 - mile radius). 🤍

I truly treat every pet like family and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication, treating every pet with the same level of care I would expect for my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and provide them with a safe, happy environment while you’re away!

I have a larger fenced in yard, and have been trained to watch for social cues in animals when in a group setting. Animals are in and out all day long for potty breaks and play breaks outside!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for caring for animals. Beyond simply ensuring pets are fed and comfortable, I bring specialized skills like administering medications when needed and taking extra care with tasks like deep-cleaning litter boxes to maintain a healthy environment. Having grown up with cats and dogs, I understand their needs and quirks, and I truly enjoy going above and beyond to provide attentive, loving care for every pet as if they were my own.
“We are so glad that we found Jody to watch our two cats while we were out of town. She was such a treat; very professional, sweet, and courteous! We will definitely be booking her again and we recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter to take care of your fur-babies!”
About: I've had animals since I was 4. Been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would allow it. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections to dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.

Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Goldsmith
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone
“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Frank and Beans really enjoyed their time with Dhara. She kept them so active they had a lazy evening and slept the entire night! They usually get up once or twice. I will definitely have them visit Dhara again in the future. Thank you Dhara!”
About: I promise to care for your pet as I would care for my own! I am extremely attentive to my dogs and would expect the same from others. I love all animals but have also felt more connected to dogs as I grew up owning them! My dogs are well cared for and loved! As a pet owner, I plan the needs of my dogs around my tasks for the day! I always make my dogs a priority and would do the same for others! I am attentive to my dogs and understand how quickly they can wander. I keep a close watch on their behaviors and understand and act upon behaviors that are not normal. My dogs are family and I understand the love owners have towards their animals.
“Rocket is very clingy and timid and he has never stayed with a stranger but Karen was so kind, patient and wonderful that our little friend did just fine. If we ever need a sitter in Kokomo we will definately pick Miss Karen. ?”
“We were out of town so had a late pickup time but Veronika was very accommodating. Great communications throughout and Blue had a lot of fun! Will not hesitate to book daycare with Veronika when the need arises.”
“Dustin was great with Chip. I trusted him right away as Chip took to him the same. He sent plenty of photos and Chip came back from doggy daycare absolutely spent! What’s better than a tired dog?”
About: I love taking care of furry friends! Family and friends have relied of me to pop in and take their fur babies on walks, get them all clean, and make sure they get their tummies full. Not only do I take care of pets but also people! I am a registered nurse with a passion for helping others! Have a last minute trip you need to go on don’t worry I offer same day services. Just send me a message and we can work something out. I love taking care of furry friends in my free time! Request your time and I will let you know if I am available to watch your fur baby! I treat everyone with kindness including your fur babies. A day with me your fur baby can expect to have water always available. We will take a half mile walk and play for 30 minutes. There will be opportunities for cuddles and snuggles. You will need to provide the food for your baby with instructions on how much and how often to feed. I do require that all fur babies be potty trained as I rent the space that I live in.
“Lauren was great. She agreed to watch my two babies short notice over the new years holiday. She sent me pictures and I really felt like they were in great hands. It's a relief to know that when I am in town next time, I will have a reliable person to watch my kiddos.”
About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
About: My furry family has been growing since 2017. We have rescued, puppy trained, and kitten trained and are up to 3 four legged friends in our home! We fostered animals from our local shelter for about a year during covid, however, we failed as foster parents and ended up adopting a kitten from one of our litters. There are more animals in our house then humans and we wouldn't have it any other way! My husband and I currently work from home so are available for walking/check ins whenever you need! I'm currently working full time but I work remotely so have the flexibility to come check on your animals whenever! We are also available most weekends. We have a fenced in yard, so if play time calls, they can go in and out as much as they want! We have plenty of toys and two dogs to keep them company. We also try to go on walks once or twice a day so they will get their steps in if they like to get out of the house!
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
About: I have owned and taken care of other’s pets all my life. I am 48 years old and have 3 cats and 1 dog currently. I have had many labs and larger dogs as well as small dogs over the years and love caring for all breeds and sizes. I take care of my neighbor’s dogs, bunny and cats when they go out of town. I work a full time job from home and have a lot of flexible hours to walk dogs during the day. I am available most weekends to come over and care for other pets, clean litter boxes and just spend time with your fur babies. I have a very large fenced in yard and a social dog that will play. I have 3 cats that have spent their entire life around dogs. I have 3 different sized dog crates if your dog is crate trained. My pets are allowed to sit and sleep on the furniture and beds in the house. My pets are like family members and pretty spoiled! I will treat your pets the same as I treat mine.
“Kelly and Mark were fantastic. Kelly was quick to communicate with me, sending updates and pictures. My dogs seem to have a good time and came home tired. Their 2 Golden Retrievers were sweet and happy to have playmates for the day. Will definitely use them again for doggie day care. Highly recommend.”
About: Animals have always been my primary passion. Growing up on a farm surrounded by cows, chickens, and a variety of dogs—from energetic Boxers and Labradors to gentle Golden Retrievers, I learned early on that every animal has a unique personality and specific needs. Over the last 15 years, I have cared for a wide range of dogs and cats, gaining extensive experience that spans the entire life cycle of a pet. This work is deeply personal to me, as I recently said goodbye to my own beloved Boxer who lived to be 13 years old. Navigating those senior years gave me firsthand expertise in providing mobility assistance, a gentle touch, and precise medication administration. Beyond senior care, I am highly proficient in puppy care—focusing on consistent training reinforcement and managing high energy, and I am comfortable with all temperaments, from "velcro dogs" who thrive on constant attention to more independent or cautious rescues. I am available full-time with a completely open and flexible schedule, which means your pet will be my primary focus throughout the day. Whether you need a mid-day walk, a last-minute drop-in, or around-the-clock companionship for your pet, I can easily accommodate your needs. Because I am 'open whenever,' I can stick strictly to your pet's specific feeding and exercise routine without any time conflicts. Safety is my absolute priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything is secure and follow all house rules strictly. I am very experienced in managing different leash temperaments on walks to keep dogs safe from traffic or other animals. I provide frequent photo updates and clear communication so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is in expert, loving hands. My home is currently a calm, pet-free environment, which is ideal for dogs who prefer to be the 'only child' or need a quiet space to relax.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for caring for animals and the hands on experience I’ve gained working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve volunteered at a local humane society and worked on a dog farm, where I learned how to safely handle dogs, recognize their individual needs, and help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’m committed to providing care that’s tailored to them. As a high school student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. During the summer, I’m available throughout the day, and during the school year I’m available before and after school, on weekends, and during breaks. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure while you’re away. I’ll provide a calm, loving environment, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds since I was younger. Family, and friends have relied on me to help house sit, walk, play dates, and take their animals to day care. I’m currently in school online, but I am available to spend time walking the animals during the week and on the weekend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, living on a huge property that they are allowed to run, but if your dog is an inside animal I am willing to bring him/her to my home. I have two friendly playful dogs of my own, they are a Golden Doodle, and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am also willing to spend time at your home playing and walking your animals as well. I am willing to do play dates inside and outside.
About: I have had cats and dogs since the day I was born and I have never had an empty house since. I currently own two cats and a dog myself and it gives me such joy being able to take care of others people's pets. I have watched over friends and families dogs and cats since I can remember and I have never had a bad experience! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize creating a balance that allows me to provide attentive and loving care. My schedule is flexible, enabling me to accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. I take pride in being organized and ensuring that each pet gets the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays. Caring for animals isn’t just a task—it’s a fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. I will not be allowed to bring animals into my home sadly. I am more than able to come to you or pick up your dog and hang out with them for the day!

Our dog is dog reactive, and I really felt comfortable with Todd walking him. First time we have ever had a dog walker through Rover. I highly recommend Todd! He had such a great interaction with our Kody! Kody loved him! We will use Todd again! 🤩😊”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.

“Zoe provided exceptional care for our dog Luna during her five‑day stay from July 1–5. She is truly a compassionate and attentive sitter. Zoe took the time to meet Luna beforehand, followed all of our feeding and walking instructions, and went above and beyond during a holiday weekend full of fireworks and storms — situations that normally cause Luna a lot of stress. Zoe used Luna’s snuggle harness and headphones exactly as instructed for fireworks and potential thunderstorms which included extra snuggling by Zoe and her son to get through these extra loud events. Luna also enjoyed fun outings with Zoe and her family, and the photos we received throughout each day were such a comfort. Luna had a great time playing in Zoe's large yard where Luna could exercise her zoomie runs with Zoe! Zoe’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. She even handled pickup and drop‑off for Luna, making the entire experience seamless. We are incredibly grateful for the care Zoe provided. Luna adored her, her son, and her extended family. We would trust Zoe again without hesitation!”
About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
“If I could leave more stars I would. Stephanie went above and beyond with Josie. She has separation anxiety and rarely is away from me. Stephanie’s caring, patience, and love she showed Josie made a world of difference. She truly cares for the dogs she watches as if they are her own. She kept me updated with texts, sent pictures, and videos. I can’t explain how much I appreciate Stephanie (and her whole family) for taking such good care of Josie!”
