Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hammond
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hammond
“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.”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“He’s amazing. He took care of my 3 dogs. He has a loving family. He treated my dogs like they were his very own. He has a very easy manner about himself. He answered any question I may of had. He continuously sent me photos of the dogs. There’s so much I can say about him, but I don’t feel that I have enough words to do so. I would definitely have my dogs be with him again if I ever need to go anywhere.”
“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
“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.”
“We were nervous leaving our pupper with anyone overnight, but Monica and Dan were just wonderful! The pictures and messages they sent while we were on vacation reassured us and let us know how much they enjoyed watching Maddie. I think she will miss them now that she is home! We recommend them 1000%!”
“Kassia and Flash were great hosts for Rockett for a week long stay while I was out of town for work. Kassia was quick to respond and shared updates with me. I highly recommend Kassia for boarding or daycare!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“I want to acknowledge how professional and well organized Iman handles her business. I am a first time pet owner and Rover user. I had to leave town for 6 days for a vacation. I had anxiety around who was going to care for my pet. I did a google search and stumbled across this platform. Iman picture was highlighted for me. My spirit felt like she would be the one to choose. I’m proud to say that I was not wrong in following that inner voice. Iman took care of my pet better than me. I enjoyed the warm welcome with a personalized sign. I was able to walk in the house to see Ace also had friends to play with and a doggy play area. My Ace normally barks at strangers but he seemed comfortable with Iman right away. He received high quality luxury style care. The activities, videos and pictures updates were comforting and entertaining to watch. I don’t want to give all her secrets away I love that she celebrated his birthday with a paint party. I also love how happy he looked the entire time. I was impressed with the level of experience Iman has. I also appreciate that she makes dog food and my pet seem to like her food more. I will be ordering food for him. I will also use Iman for all my future pet needs. I think I have hit a goldmine with her services. I have no need to seek out anyone else. I am throughly satisfied with the love and care provided to my Ace. My trip was extended a day due to unforeseen circumstances at the airport and Iman did not hesitate to provide extended care. I recommend her services to anyone who needs it. I promise you will not be disappointed.”
About: I've had different pets like fish,cats,birds,and dogs. I've babysitted for medium and small dogs before like walks,feeding them,hanging with them,going to the park. I have also watched cats just babysitting and feeding the cat. What sets me apart from other sitters is I have a very flexible schedule, I am very patient, good time management and I'm chill! I currently am chilling for the summer before school starts back up. I have lots of availability to chill and take care of some cute furry friends! I am available most of the 5-7 days a week. I have 1 cat and 4 kittens to keep your furry friend(s) company! I feed my pet twice a day once in the morning and then in the evening or night while keeping water available all day. I wash my cat only when visibly dirty but I do clean her ears once a month. I bathe dogs every 4-6 weeks. I do not currently have a dog but I do have experience with them! I do love to walk a lot so walking pets is never an issue!
“Shani was so great! This was our first time leaving our dog Lucy and Shani made us feel comfortable providing daily updates with photos and videos. Lucy loved being at her home and we will definitely return!”
“Bernice did an absolutely amazing job caring for my fur baby this past weekend! I was pretty nervous since he’s newly adopted, but she quickly put my mind at ease. Her communication was excellent—she sent daily pictures and kept us updated on how his day was going, which meant so much to me. It was clear he felt completely comfortable and at home—honestly, he didn’t even want to leave! Her fenced-in backyard was a huge bonus and gave him plenty of space to play safely. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Bernice is the only person we’ll be booking with going forward!”
“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!”
“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”
“Najah was so great with Kash. So much so, he didn't act like he wanted to leave her. She kept me updated on his behavior and how ge was doing the entire time with texts & photos. I will definitely be boarding with Najah again.”
“Amazing dog sitter! Our pooch was so happy when we picked her up, and David sent plenty of photos and updates and was readily accessible to contact - will definitely be using again, I highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈⬛”
“Highly recommend Monica and Daniel. Very nice people. Kind and respectful to the cats. Even asked if there was more they needed to do! They were nice enough to help us bring in the mail. I was able to leave knowing my cats were well cared for. They vacuumed extra litter tracked in the house and took care of any hairballs. They did everything we asked for. They even uploaded pics of the cats and did a quick update of what they did which I do appreciate. I highly recommend them!! Will hire them again the next time I'm out of town.”
“Taryn was excellent at providing pictures and updates at every visit. She was wonderful when we talked with her and when she was alone with our animal. Very friendly and knowledgeable on animals, and was a quick learner when it came to our animals care. Couldn't ask for a better animal sitter!”
About: Even though I’ve never owned a cat because my mom is allergic, I’ve always loved being around them. I’ve spent years caring for my friends’ cats, watching them grow from playful kittens into adults. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing the litter box, playing with their favorite toys, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every cat has their own personality, so I’m happy to let shy cats come to me at their own pace while giving more social cats all the attention and affection they want. My goal is to make sure your cat feels happy and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands
“David was awesome with our pets! We have a 22 year old kitty that needed some special attention during the visits, and he took great care of her! This is our first time using this service so we were a little nervous but David's communication skills and personality on the first time meeting set those nerves a side! We will be using him in the future for sure!”
About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc.) I've lived with cats my whole life, and I currently have 2 of my own. I regularly house sit with cats and I absolutely love it! I offer drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever is needed. Very excited to make new feline friends!
“Cassidy is great! Easy to coordinate with and reliable. My cat is a bit shy and it takes some time for him to warm up to people but she was so patient with him and always tried to win him over! Highly recommend.”
About: I started dog walking when I was 8 years old around my neighborhood. Since then I have had experience with training puppies, senior dog care, and even working with animals in a professional setting. I'm currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs. I love walks at any time of day or night! I have a fenced in back yard and a dog park that is just a walk down the street. I have two dogs to keep your fur baby occupied while staying with me.
About: I have taken care of cats since 2016, I can clip nails of cats, brush them, even remove matted areas on the cat. I have loved cats for as long as I can remember! I have two long haired black cats who are very shy, so I know how to handle shy cats.
About: For as long as I can remember I have taken care of, rescued, and cared for animals. Through out my life I have over all had 18 animals in my house hold (at one point in time 8 cats all under the same roof) and I have often helped taken care of animals of family and friends. I have checked in on dogs for noon outside time and potty breaks as well as stayed at a home for as long as a month to take care of a cat. I have experience with pets in all stages of life and in handling animals with different temperaments. I have also given animals medications (from diabetic shots to thyroid pills to special prescription food) and I am very active in taking care of them. Currently I have one dog and three cats that I share with my partner, all of whom I have taken care of from early on in their lives. I am currently in between jobs so most days and times I am available. I do share a car but we always work together to figure out who can use the car when. Just let me know what you need and when and I will work with you to figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I am very respectful of other's homes, making sure things are clean and nothing is messed up. Whether your fur baby tore up a rug or I accidentally broke something, there will be full transparency on what happened while you're away. I can send daily text check ins and don't mind being called daily to ensure everything is alright, your animals are family and I will treat them as such. Any house rules or animal schedules you have set I will abide by. I will give your animal full attention and do what I can to give them what they need.
“Samantha was the greatest. She gave my cat space while also making sure that she can leave her sent with him. She gave great ideas to help me because this is my first time having a cat sitter. She is so receptive and she gives great advice. She connected with my cat wonderfully, and I truly appreciate what she had done with feeding him and connecting with him. I will use her again. She is definitely my go to and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of family members dogs since I was little, whenever they go out for a day or for a week I dog sit for them. I have a lot of time during the week to dog sit because I am a stay at home mom and take walks every day. I have plenty of room in my house for them to take a nap and eat after a walk, I also have a fenced yard they can play in.
“This was the 2nd time Riley came over to visit my cat. As with the first time, she did an excellent job and she followed a few specific instructions to the "T." As usual, she gave me updates and sent photos every day. It is easy to see that my cat is very comfortable with her!”

“I would recommend Kassia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional dog sitter. She was communicative, met with us a couple of days before the actual sit, and accommodated our early 6 a.m. drop-off that we needed (which happened to be on Daylight Savings as well). Moreover, our dog was excited when we dropped him off (always a good sign to us), and was tired when we got home.”
“Jesus answered my early morning request and was able to accommodate us while visiting the city. My dog seemed happy and I appreciated the picture and communication. Will definitely use him again!”

About: I enjoy spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student at Indiana University Northwest, and with summer here I have a much more flexible schedule. While I do work a part time job, I’m still able to make multiple visits throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, care, walks, and playtime! I provide a safe and caring environment whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs will always be leashed on walks. I’ll make sure your pup stays on their routine with fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention!
About: What sets me apart is I grew up with lots of pets so I know how to take care of them. At one point, my dog had puppies so I learned how to take care of puppies. And then had another point my cat had kittens so I also learned how to take care of kittens which that is both very cool. When I was we had a blind and deaf dog so we all had to learn how to help him. Pet care fits into my daily routine by taking my dog out into the backyard first thing into the morning. Then I go outside as well to enjoy the sun and to play with him. I also have to make sure that the dogs and the cats are both fed throughout the day. I would make sure that the pet have what is needed such as food , water, and that the pet has gone outside many times. I would also make sure if the pet and I go outside that the pet isn’t dragging muddy paw prints through out the home.
About: With over a decade of hands on animal care experience, I provide dependable walks and attentive home visits rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine care. My experience in animal shelters, professional grooming, and veterinary medicine has allowed me to work with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping me understand their individual needs, adapt to different personalities, and remain calm in new or challenging situations. . Clear communication is one of my top priorities. After every walk or drop in, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I pay attention to the little things, from changes in energy and appetite to shifts in mood or behavior, because those details often matter most. . Whether you need recurring walks, midday check ins, or dependable care while you’re away, I show up on time, respect your home, and help maintain the routines your pet knows and trusts. As the owner of a very smart senior poodle, I understand the trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to build that trust through consistency, attentiveness, and open communication, while providing the kind of care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need recurring walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute care, I prioritize clear communication and dependable service. My goal is to keep your pet on as consistent a schedule as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household guidelines you provide. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate the little details that help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special bedtime routine, or even a specific way they like their meals prepared, I’m happy to help.

I love all animals, and have 2 young dogs so I can keep up with any energy level :) I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds.

We have a nice fenced in yard where our dogs love to play! They are also home all day, and love to play so your pup will have plenty of company!

“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.”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
“Kassia and Flash were great hosts for Rockett for a week long stay while I was out of town for work. Kassia was quick to respond and shared updates with me. I highly recommend Kassia for boarding or daycare!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“Shani was so great! This was our first time leaving our dog Lucy and Shani made us feel comfortable providing daily updates with photos and videos. Lucy loved being at her home and we will definitely return!”
“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”
“Amazing dog sitter! Our pooch was so happy when we picked her up, and David sent plenty of photos and updates and was readily accessible to contact - will definitely be using again, I highly recommend!”
About: I am an animal lover who has successfully raised both cats and dogs. Not only would I treat your pets as my own, but you will be updated frequently on the well-being of your pet. I enjoy all animals and have trained several dogs throughout the years. Before becoming interested in Rover, I have previously housed several dogs for friends and family members through WAG. With currently being in school to become a veterinarian, working with Rover would be a wonderful opportunity to become even more involved with taking care of animals. I am currently home full-time and will be easily accessible. With allowing me to house your fuzzy loved ones, be prepared for a very nice, professional, loving, and safe experience for the both of you. I currently work from home so I will have ample time to be present and support your fur baby. Daily walks and treats are provided I have a large fenced in yard for play time. I also provide as many updates as you need; this includes pictures and videos of your pet.
“Ursa had a great time with Mercedes. I know she received lots of attention and exercise. I really appreciated the frequent communication and pictures. Mercedes is the sweetest person, and we'll definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
