She was very flexible when my travel plans changed. Sadie felt very comfortable at her house and enjoyed the cuddles and walks. I highly recommend!”

“We received peace of mind by daily checkins with pictures or videos of our little pup. Our Daisy girl was in very good capable loving hands with Gabriel. We highly recommend him and will plan on booking him again if we need it.”

“Crystal was awesome! Our dog got along great with her dogs, and I trusted that Crystal was taking great care of Stella. She sent multiple photos and a video during Stella's stay and had great communication overall. We will definitely book her for all our future dog care needs.”

“Mallory took good care of Jiggly for a week and shared regular updates with the pics. Jiggly’s vegan food, his playpen accommodations were very well taken care of and he was provided a good play time with Mia. Would definitely be boarding Jiggly with Mallory again in the future”

“Amy did an excellent job caring for our dog, Penny. Penny loved playing and snuggling with Amy and her son. We received great communication and pictures throughout the time Penny was with Amy. We would definitely recommend Amy and will use her in the future.”

“Great communication!!! Leo had a great time spending the weekend with Seygourney, Eric, and their dog James. I received lots of updates including photos and a video. Would definitely recommend!”


“Samantha was great! She sent me pictures and updates everyday without my having to ask. Her home was clean and her dog was friendly. I will definitely utilize her services again!!”


“Kristen took in our Rey (1yo Dachshund) during our time away during the holidays on short notice. Such a relief to have had Rey stay in the care of a very nice home and family. Will definitely look for Kristen again in the future!”

“Nancy was amazing with our little morkie, Mia. This was our dog’s second time ever staying with someone else and she was well-loved and cared for by Nancy and her husband. Nancy kept me updated everyday on how our pup was doing with pictures and videos. She was very responsive to any messages we sent and we could not have been happier with the care our dog received while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer was very attentive and accommodating to ensure my anxious dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. I received photos often which showed my girl going for walks, snuggling on the couch, and enjoying the backyard.”

“Josh has watched our dogs a few times and has done a great job. They adore him and it feels so good to leave them with someone we trust. They get good exercise and we love getting pictures of them!”

“Paige was wonderful with Max and so sweet! We loved seeing daily pictures of him being part of the family just like at home. We will definitely check with Paige next time we travel! ❤️”

“Christopher took great care of our cat. It was very easy to coordinate the schedule with him. He sent regular updates and shared photos with us. He also administered medicine to our cat in a timely manner. Overall, I felt very comfortable and at ease with my cat being in safe hands while I am away. Will definitely book with him again!”


“Tilly's previous owner has taken her to Karen for years. So when Tilly came to live with me, I also took her to Karen. Tilly loves staying with Karen. And as Tilly's mom, I love that Karen sends me periodic updates and photos of her time there when I'm away. Everyone I've talked with loves taking their dog to Karen. I agree and will certainly take Tilly there again.”

“Christina (& Lyla) are the best!! I’m always a mess leaving my babies and they made it a breeze. Christina was so consistent with Ollie’s updates. Ollie is an anxious dog and requires a lot of attention as he wants to be a part of your pack at all times. I have never seen him more relaxed and happy in an environment outside of his home. She truly cared for him like he was her own and it showed. I will 100% be canceling any kennel bookings I have for the future and rebook Christina every time. 10/10!!”

“Candie took great care of Maisie - and put our minds at ease through the holiday. Her pup is a charming and gentle guy, and they got along very well. We will be back!”

“Yelena is set up perfectly for dogs to stay with her and her two pups. And she sent more photos and updates than any sitter we’ve ever had. It is so comforting to see and hear about how your dog is doing. Your dog will be in good hands with Yelena!”

“Kyla was amazing!! She dropped in many times throughout the weekend to feed, change our kitties water, and spend some time playing with them! Our kitties & family both loved her and will be surely returning for services as she is very professional, so so kind, and truly has a huge heart for animals!! 😇”

She even stays with my pets for at least half an hour every visit and gives them loving. I don't trust anyone more than Jasmine and will keep choosing her as my #1 to watch my pets!”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have cared for pets of all kinds over the years. I’m the person friends and family call when they need someone dependable to check in, feed, play, and make sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to have someone you trust, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.

About: I’ve loved cats my whole life but because of family members allergies, I’ve not had the privilege of having one of my own, only 3 amazing doggos. I’ve loved taking care of friend’s cats while they’re out of town and now that my daughter, Penelope (my sidekick), is wanting a pet of her own I want help her learn what it takes to care for both dogs AND cats. And with your express permission my little sidekick will come with me to learn the ropes ♥️

About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. I grew up playing with them, sleeping next to them, and caring for them every day. Being around cats brings me so much joy, and I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will care for your cat as if they were my own

About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
About: I am a mom and local school teacher! My family would love to take care of your baby. We have watched many dogs throughout the years and would love to meet you! **Out for summer break so home the majority of the time!**. I can run home to let out to potty if needed. My kids and I are home about 2:30 each day and have the rest of the day to play. We love to go on walks and spoil your baby. We are happy to keep in their crate or allow them to sleep in our beds.
“We are very thankful with Gabriel for accepting taking care of our Peanut, and understanding how we feel when we can't be with her, we appreciate the pictures and videos a lot, we see how he cares for her and definitely we recommend him to any pup owners. He is very caring and patient, dachshunds are known for being very particular, he understands her dynamics and kept her calm and happy. We're very fortunate that we found Gabriel. Thanks to Rover too for having people who love what they do and are so caring and professional.”

“Jinna and Dui kept Nissy for 5 hours today as a way for them to get to know Nissy and vise versa before she stays with them for a week starting this Friday. Jinna sent pictures and a video during the stay to help alleviate my fears (we’ve never left Nissy with anyone but family before). When I picked her up, she was happy and interacting with Jinna’s dog and another dog Jinna was sitting for…which was really a wonderful surprise because Nissy usually just tries to hide from other dogs. Jinna’s house is very clean and pet friendly, she has a great back yard and she is so sweet and gentle, and is obviously very comfortable caring for other people’s pets. I can finally relax and enjoy myself when we can’t take our pup with us knowing she will be loved and well cared for by Jinna!”

“Bella had a great time with Christina and her family. She was super flexible and accommodating. The visit went really well and Christina is clearly very experienced with dogs. We really appreciated her letting Bella hang out at her house.”

“Julie was amazing! She watched Dallas super last minute while I was in town for a wedding, and I’m so grateful. She was kind, reliable, and made me feel comfortable leaving him with her even on short notice. Dallas was well taken care of, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sweet and trustworthy sitter!”

“Jennifer treated our dog as if it was her own. She was a great communicator, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She has a lives in a nice house, is a quiet neighborhood, with a fenced in backyard, perfect for any dog’s stay. We plan to use her again.”

“Brendan took such good care of my dog Minnie, and was able to help me out with doggy day care pretty last minute! Minnie loved spending time with his dog and she was exhausted by the end of the day when I picked her up from all the playing. Thank you Brendan!”

“Our energetic Doodle could not have been in better hands. My wife often worries about using overcrowded and overstimulating pet daycare. We’re so glad we found Ellie (and her dog Red!). Luna is so happy to go there and we have no doubt she is safe. Bonus that she still comes home tired from all her fun!”


About: I provide personalized home boarding and daycare in Fishers, Indiana.

Safety is my highest priority. My home features a fully fenced backyard, secure double-check procedures during outdoor time, and close supervision of all dog interactions. I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and excited to come back for their next stay. I’m a dedicated full-time pet caregiver who provides consistent supervision and personalized attention throughout your dog’s stay. I also have my own high-energy Border Collie, so I’m experienced in meeting the exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation needs of active dogs while ensuring every guest gets the right balance of play and rest. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play under close supervision, giving them plenty of opportunities to stay active in a secure environment. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. My home features a fully fenced backyard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised. Dogs are introduced gradually based on temperament and are never left unsupervised together.

“Kari and Clint were very friendly, and booking with them was seamless. They responded promptly and were very communicative. Petey took a liking to Clint right away! I will definitely use them again!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Laura, Chris, and their family! From the very first, it felt like our two Sheepadoodles were welcomed as part of the pack. We booked a full 6 days and every evening they would be exhausted in the best way, always excited to return. Laura and Chris were kind, communicative, and clearly dog-experts! Can’t recommend them enough!”

“Amanda was great and Millie had a great time with Porky. She came home exhausted after having several days of playing. Amanda was incredibly accommodating after I booked daycare only instead of boarding. She offered to watch Millie overnight without hesitation. She’s super easy to get ahold of and provides regular updates. Of course Porky kept Millie super busy and having fun!”

About: Hi there! I’m a big animal lover and I would love to take care of your fur baby. I'm available weekdays as well as weekends. I live 5 minutes away from a park so going for little run or a nice walk will always be something fun to do. If you plan on leaving your dog with me more than one night I'm totally comfortable with that. We have a nice fenced in play area at the apartment complex for the dogs to run around. I am willing to take your dog to get groomed or bathed if your schedule is too busy. I'm your go to girl. If your dog is ready for some adventure then let's get this party started. Thank you. I work mornings full time from 7am-3pm. I’m free on Fridays and every other weekend. I always go home on my lunch break to check on my pets. My pets are allowed all over the house, they sleep in bed with me, and I let them on the couch as well. They are my roommates and have the same privileges as me lol

About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. I’m currently free 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and I’ll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.

“Bethany was fantastic with Sadie, and I will absolutely use her again. She was kept me well informed of how Sadie was doing the whole time, with photos and commentary. She was very flexible when my travel plans changed. Sadie felt very comfortable at her house and enjoyed the cuddles and walks. I highly recommend!”

“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”

“Brendan was great with our 5 month old Aussie puppy! He sent daily updates and was extremely flexible when our flight got delayed. Our pup was happy to play with his golden retriever and came home very sleepy!”

“Nancy was amazing with our little morkie, Mia. This was our dog’s second time ever staying with someone else and she was well-loved and cared for by Nancy and her husband. Nancy kept me updated everyday on how our pup was doing with pictures and videos. She was very responsive to any messages we sent and we could not have been happier with the care our dog received while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Josh has watched our dogs a few times and has done a great job. They adore him and it feels so good to leave them with someone we trust. They get good exercise and we love getting pictures of them!”

“Christina (& Lyla) are the best!! I’m always a mess leaving my babies and they made it a breeze. Christina was so consistent with Ollie’s updates. Ollie is an anxious dog and requires a lot of attention as he wants to be a part of your pack at all times. I have never seen him more relaxed and happy in an environment outside of his home. She truly cared for him like he was her own and it showed. I will 100% be canceling any kennel bookings I have for the future and rebook Christina every time. 10/10!!”

“Candie took great care of Maisie - and put our minds at ease through the holiday. Her pup is a charming and gentle guy, and they got along very well. We will be back!”

“Yelena is set up perfectly for dogs to stay with her and her two pups. And she sent more photos and updates than any sitter we’ve ever had. It is so comforting to see and hear about how your dog is doing. Your dog will be in good hands with Yelena!”

“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”

“Christina did a wonderful job boarding Bailey while I was away on a trip. Her family made Bailey feel right at home. I received pictures of Bailey almost daily. She seemed to transition well with Christina's family and animals. Due to a scheduling problem on my part, Christina was sympathetic to my error and made arrangements to board Bailey an additional day. I compensated her for the error. I would highly recommend Christina to board your family pet. I will be a repeat customer going forward.”

“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”

“Julie was awesome! She helped us out in a pinch and our pup was well taken care of while we were away for the weekend. Her communication was great and we’d definitely use her again!”


“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!”


“Marietta did a wonderful job with my Lucky! She is caring, thoughtful and kind ; Erin Rose is the sweetest dog I have ever seen. Thank you Erin Rose for playing with Lucky and sharing your toys. Everything about Lucky’s stay was great. Pictures sent by Marietta everyday are so so sweet! Lucky would love to stay with Marietta and Erin Rose again. Thanks again and look forward to visiting you again.”

“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. Her animals are so sweet and so is Julie! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you to you and your family for taking such incredible care of our girl!!”

“Kevin and Taylor boarded my 2 AmericanFoxhounds for the first time. One of my dogs is a senior dog and the other is young and active. They did such a great job accommodating my dogs’ needs, including administration of medication. I received pictures and messages during the entire 10 days I was gone. They were very responsive and my dogs were well cared for.”

“Shalissa and her family were wonderful. Very friendly people who really cared about our dogs. If this in any way helps those of you new to Rover, I highly recommend her. This was our first time and our boys loved it. She sent lots of photos and kept me informed while we were gone. We will be using her again later this year.”

“Precious and family were again great hosts for Sunny who has been very happy to be there. The excellent care provided by Precious for Sunny has been a source of great comfort to me.”
