“Jacklyn was wonderful to work with caring for our pup. She was a wonderful communicator sharing many updates and videos and we really appreciate her care for Ginger”
“Samantha was great! She took great care of our pup Indie and gave us daily updates on how she was doing. Our flights were at crazy times, so she even went above and beyond by picking up and dropping her off at our house for us. I would highly recommend.”
“Bowen was communicative and very reliable. My dog has behavioral issues (severe separation anxiety and reactivity) and I’m hesitant to send him off, but Bowen made me feel very comfortable. Bowen even provided me extensive information around how I could help his anxiety as we continue training. He was extremely happy and showed no signs of stress (he typically does) when he returned to me. I will definitely use Bowen again and would highly recommend!”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Leah went above and beyond! She shared photos and updates throughout my trip, making my first Rover experience such a positive one. Eva had the best time, I can’t recommend her enough!! 🙂”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
“Graham had a great time at Claudia’s house! She sent us pictures and kept a log of all of his activities for us to see when we picked him up. Graham was certainly well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you Claudia!”
“We are so grateful to have found Destinee! She took amazing care of our dog, Ru, and went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home. From the moment we dropped Ru off, it was clear that Destinee is not only incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, but truly loves them too. She had everything set up—her doggy pool, extra toys, cozy sleeping spots—and kept us updated with pictures throughout Ru’s stay. They even took her on walks! Knowing Ru was in such loving and capable hands made it easy to relax while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with Destinee again!”
“Melissa was great! She gave frequent updates on our dogs while boarding with her. She is very fast to respond to questions. Would definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“This was our first time having Celestial look after our Arlo. He was nervous at first, just because it was a new environment and he’s a 1yr old, but it did t take him long to get acclimated and have a great time. Celestial was great in looking after our puppy and will use her again.”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter and took exceptional care of my boy Max. He was attentive and kept me updated daily with videos and pictures. Absolutely will be re-booking with him.”
“Nicole was an amazing caretaker of my little dachshund! He had never stayed away from home before and she made him feel at home and settled. I would definitely use her again. She also kept me updated and sent photos and videos which helped me greatly🥰 I picked him up and he was happy and calm😁”
About: Hi, I’m Ash! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. I run five days a week and love running with dogs, so I’d be happy to take yours out for some exercise! My schedule is flexible: I work from home full-time during the summer and am only away a couple of afternoons a week during the school year. I’m comfortable caring for intelligent, playful, and anxious pups, and I also have experience with dogs who have complex medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs requiring eye drops, insulin injections, oral medications, and support with incontinence. I also have experience with elderly, anxious, and medically complex dogs. Before caring for your dog, I’d love to get to know both you and your pup. I require a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Because we have two children, ages 4 and 6, in our home, dogs must be kid-friendly. I work from home and can snuggle and let dogs out throughout the day. I can go on a run with your pup or take them on a walk, depending on what's best for them. I treat every dog like part of the family while they’re here. I know being away from home can be stressful for pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment with lots of attention, affection, and supervision. Dogs are welcome to relax with us, get plenty of snuggles, and go outside frequently for potty breaks and fresh air. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter environment. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and any other care preferences you provide. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and as at-home as possible while you’re away.
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
“Stacy was wonderful with our dog Cali and we could tell when we picked her up, she had had a great time! Stacy was very communicative and sent us daily pictures, which made our time away from Cali a little easier. We are so thankful to Stacy and we would highly recommend her for your fur baby :)”

Thanks Natalie!”

“Maya was wonderful with my high maintenance cat! She sent me lots of pictures and updates, so I could tell how happy Pippin was with her. She was super responsive and detail-oriented. I highly recommend Maya for pet sitting!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all personalities from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand the importance of keeping their routines consistent, whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, or giving them the right amount of attention and space. As a cat owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care. I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, with plenty of patience, gentle care, and attention to their unique needs.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased with the quality of service and care that Megan provided for my cat, Mirabai. Photos were sent along with updates of the visit. One photo showed Mirabai looking so content and feeling safe when Megan was scratching her head. That sold me on Rover and in using Megan again when I travel out of town again. I highly recommend Megan as your pet sitter!”
“Kelsey was great! She was able to take care of Theo last minute. It was my first time boarding him and she made us feel very comfortable. She was able to manage his little personality after being inside/fidgety for an extended amount of time. Great sitter, highly recommend!”
“Christy did a fantastic job checking in on my kitty and making sure he was taken care of while I was away. I always book her when I am out of town because I know she will send detailed updates and pictures of him. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Cozette is amazing and took such great care of my fur baby! All the pictures she sent on her visits every day were great and I could tell how comfortable he was with her (and he tends to be pretty skittish with new people!) I’ll definitely book Cozette again in the future!”
“I have a special-needs kitty. Christine takes the best care of her. I have absolutely no worries when I am gone that my cat is in wonderful hands. She’s not only able to take care of her but she also loves on her so much. Christine is my go to Sitter.!!!”

“My experience was great. It was very easy and smooth each day that I brought my puppy over. She seemed happy when she got home and had clearly spent some energy throughout the day! Would recommend. Thanks again!”
“Let me first say, I was a little skeptical about using Jackson. But once I met him, some of those worries washed away. I still worried, but throughout the day Jackson communicated and sent photos and my worries washed away. Jackson is the ultimate professional and Milo was extremely happy and pooped when we picked him up. Finding out Jackson offers other services, and I think we have found our new EVERYTHING. I'm already reaching out for a booking tomorrow.”
“Dayana was an amazing dog sitter! Her communication was excellent, and she made sure to send cute pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided a safe and comfortable environment, and my puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Dayana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“My dogs and I love Mary! It makes me smile to think of how much fun they are having while I’m at work :) They can’t wait to go do daycare each morning and by the time they leave, they are exhausted from nonstop play. Mary is very knowledgeable and experienced with handling all kinds of dog and puppy personalities and I’m very grateful to keep my pups in such capable hands for daycare!”
“Kathryn and Garrison were beyond amazing. We were passing through town on a road trip. We stopped in Indianapolis for the museum and they hung out with our dog while we were at the museum. They were incredibly thoughtful and generous and took wonderful care of June.”

“Hoa was fantastic when we needed last minute care for our mini dachshund while we were visiting town. She sent me plenty of updates with photos and videos and was super responsive. My dog had a great time and seemed to get along just fine with her dog. If I lived in Indianapolis I would 100% take my dog back to her!”
About: Since age 3 I’ve been caring for dogs of my own dogs I’ve saved from outside etc. My heart for all animals has been big since a very young age I’d go above & beyond to make sure a pet is healthy , safe & happy . I’m a stay at home mom and with that I have a lot of extra time on my hands each and every day Monday - Friday I have a fenced in yard , a very big backyard for running and playing , I take daily walks and I make sure dogs are fed & entertained as human
About: I've moved! If you've booked with me before, please double check my new address! I've had a lifelong fascination with animals and zoology that led me to learning as much as I could about animals. I've been particularly fond of canines, leading me to become a certified dog behaviorist in 2020. I've had 2 dogs of my own, both mid sized mixed breeds, and helped take care of family and friends pets, dogs as small as chihuahuas and large as rotties. I'm self employed and work from home. I'm very flexible and can adjust to specific feeding or medicine times, and can keep near constant supervision if need be. I feel strongly about pets being treated with kindness and patience. I enjoy cuddling and playing games with them. I'll be happy to adjust to the pets individual needs and owner requests.
About: I’ve grew up with dogs in my house. Since I was 12 years old I was in charge of feed, bath and walk my dog. I’m available on this hours: Monday- friday: from 5:30 pm I work from home on tuesdays. (8-5pm) Sat and Sundays: all day long and night I will respect the rules that you have in your house like where that sleep or if they are allowed to be on the furniture, etc
About: I’ve spent most of my life around dogs and have always been the person friends and neighbors ask to help when they’re traveling or need an extra hand. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Some dogs want long walks and playtime, others just want calm companionship and consistency. I’m happy to meet them where they are. When caring for a dog, I focus on a few things that really matter: safety, routine, and communication. I follow feeding and walking instructions closely, pay attention to behavior changes, and make sure dogs get the exercise, stimulation, and rest they need. I’m also very aware that every dog has their own quirks and preferences. Some are social, some are cautious, some are high-energy explorers. I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable so their time away from their owner feels as stress-free as possible. You can expect clear updates, photos, and quick communication while your dog is with me. I treat every dog like they’re someone’s family member — because they are. I live an active lifestyle and genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks and fresh air, so dog walking fits naturally into my day. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first — I only take a limited number of dogs so each one gets calm attention and a stress-free environment. I keep routines consistent with regular walks, feeding schedules, and quiet downtime so your dog feels secure while you’re away. You’ll receive photo updates and short notes during every stay or walk so you always know how your dog is doing. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly with space to relax after walks and playtime. Every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to learn what helps them feel comfortable — whether that’s exploring outside or simply having a calm place to nap. Hi! I’m Zach, a lifelong dog lover and experienced caretaker who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m currently working remotely and building a design consulting practice, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to dog walking, drop-ins, and boarding. I love getting outside for long walks, staying active, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I approach pet care the same way I approach everything else in life: with attention, consistency, and respect for routines. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, some playtime and exercise, or just a reliable check-in and company during the day, I’m happy to help. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and notes so you know your pup is doing well. A few things you can expect when your dog is with me: • Safe, attentive care and supervision • Plenty of walks, play, and outdoor time • Clear communication and regular updates • A calm, respectful environment that keeps dogs comfortable I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet you and your pup. I have a dog of my own named Massimo, who is a fun-loving and curious Welsh Terrier. He’s fun, smart, inquisitive and loves interacting with humans and other animals. An active dog who loves the outdoors, but also enjoys relaxing at home. Massi loves enjoying the sights and sounds of all seasons. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet!
“She was great , I need someone to take care of my dog last minute , and she kept me updated on her with pictures and video , canela came back tired and very happy I could tell she had enjoy her stay . Would definitely book again”

I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and caring environment where every pet feels comfortable and at home. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I am available during the day and can provide pets with attention, playtime, companionship, and regular potty breaks. I will do my best to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you are away. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets.

“Richard was very thorough and thoughtful with his communication when we first did a meet and greet. It was easy to drop off and pick up Effy. He also gave a hand written report card with nice scoring and notes.”
About: I am an animal lover with my own dog. My dog is adjusting to living in the city, so I am comfortable walking dogs who pull on leashes or need extra attention while being walked for their safety or the safety of others. My work schedule is 4 days a week for the majority of the day. With three days off each week, I am excited to be able to dedicate more time to my own pet and other peoples’! My apartment has a lot of space, and a safe area where I am able to take my pet or other pets outside with ease.
“Tonya was amazing!!! Elvis had so much fun at her daycare. She was so sweet and sent me photos and was fast at responding!!! Elvis came back super tired and satisfied from his day! We are pleased and will be coming back!!!”

“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including large dogs, cats with different personalities and needs, and even rabbits. This has helped me become adaptable, patient, and attentive to the unique care each animal requires. Whether it’s managing the energy of larger dogs, understanding the subtle behaviors of cats, or providing gentle care for smaller animals, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I believe every pet is an individual, and it’s important to take the time to observe and meet their specific needs. I approach all animals with the same level of care, attention, and respect that I give my own. I am currently taking a month off from work to allow myself some much needed self care time before I transition into pursing a Vet Tech degree. When I inevitably get back into a standard part time job, still allowing myself the time to focus on bettering myself- I will always ensure I have enough time to care and love for animals in my care as if they were my own. As of now, I will be available round the clock for care- as early as 6am and as late as 10pm. For all animals- I will ensure that I follow all instructions left- because we all care for our fur babies in our own ways. But what is non negotiable is ensuring they are safe and content at all times.
About: Hey there! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with 5+ years of professional experience offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and loving pets usually warm up to me right away! I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always follow instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and happy. I have a 17 year old cat of my own named Merv that I absolutely love. He’s a sweetheart and gets along well with others. I’ve had many dogs like 2 English bulldog’s, and a Black Lab. They all lived a happy life and passed of old age. I’m hoping to welcome another cat or dog soon. I take pride in providing compassionate, high quality care every visit. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾💛 I do pet care full time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the week, with boarding available most days as well. I only accept one pet family at a time for boarding, so your pet will always have my full attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. It’s just me, my boyfriend, and my cat Merv at home, and I create a calm, loving environment. I’ve had two English Bulldogs and a Black Lab who lived long, happy lives, so I understand different needs and temperaments. I do not overbook and only care for one pet family at a time, ensuring a safe, low stress, and personalized experience. 🐾💛
About: Hi everyone! My name is Maya and I am cat mom to two lovely gals who made me realize you can be a dog and cat person after all. I have experience working with pups at all life stages including senior pups needing medication and/or specific diets. I am currently a graduate student, which means that right now my summers are quite flexible for most days of the week. I love taking local walks, so having a companion (or two) is perfect for me. I am a lover of lists and details! I understand how much our pets mean to us (I am a rover user myself so I am very familiar with this process of finding the right person). I will follow the instructions you leave exactly as you would want it and treat your space with respect.
“Josephine was great!! Very communicative and CeCe loved having her come by to walk her throughout the week when I was traveling! I would definitely recommend her as a dog walker/sitter as she was very attentive to CeCe and what she needed!”
“Maddie has stepped up so many times when my other sitters fell through during my long shifts at the hospital. I always come home to a happy dog ❤️ I’m so thankful I found her!”
About: i have taken care of both cats and dogs throughout the past few years, in and out of my own place. i am experienced in walking, feeding, and playing with them while their owners are away. my favorite part of making sure the owner feels secure and confident that their babies are in good hands is catering to specific needs. getting to know your animal is important to me! i work in an office mon-fri, but i am usually home in the evenings & all day on weekends. i’m also available for short or long-duration overnight stays. my partner, Daniel (a Rover sitter!), usually tags along in my sits as well. we live in an apartment, so for the comfort of your dog (or cat, if they’re a fan of the outdoors), i would be thrilled to make use of the environment that they are already familiar with. if you have a home with a yard, i’m sure getting some exercise in for the day would be no problem.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. And I’ve always loved animals. I can handle any sized animal as my current dog is 110 pounds and my cat is 10 pound. I’m currently in between jobs and on the job hunt so when I’m not interviewing most of my day is spent with my animals and my routine revolves around them. My dog Winston and I stay active, taking about 2 or 3 walks a day. Both of my animals are pretty laid back but I have experience with hyper breeds as well. I’m good at following instructions so whatever your pet care needs are you can trust that I will follow them well. I ask a lot of questions so everything should be well situated by the time I arrive.
“Ellen always out here killing it 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for being flexible for us when we go on our day trips! We appreciate it so much, and I know Bella does too 😉”
“Lauren is the best and goes above and beyond!! She was very patient with my pup who was giving her a hard time the first day. But she is a dog whisperer and now they are best friends! Lauren is very reliable and flexible. Marley takes great naps after their walks together. I would definitely recommend her for your pet needs!”
About: My whole life, I’ve taken care of pets whether it’s been my own cats and dogs at home, helping neighbors while they’re out of town, or taking on paid pet-sitting jobs in my community. Each experience has helped me build trust, responsibility, and lasting friendships with both people and their pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I’m currently an undergraduate student at New York University who greatly misses my golden retriever, Maple, who’s back home in the Midwest. Growing up with dogs has made me patient, responsible, and deeply caring toward animals of all kinds. Taking care of your pet wouldn’t just be a job for me and it would genuinely bring me joy and help fill the space that Maple has left while I’m away at school. I’d love to give your furry friend the same love and attention I give my own! I always make sure I take the time to play and cuddle with the pets I care for. Walking, feeding, and keeping up with bathroom breaks are important, but so is showing affection and attention! I want every pet I watch to feel comfortable, loved, and part of my routine while their owners are away. I’m patient and gentle with shy animals, but also playful and energetic with those who love to run around. I take safety seriously and always making sure doors and leashes are secure, routines are followed, and each pet’s individual needs are respected. Whether it’s a quiet night in or a long walk through the park, I try to make every visit something special for them.
About: Walk. Wag. Repeat. 🐾 Hi, I’m Sebastian! Animals have always been the center of my world, and my business, Silly Moose & Co, is named in honor of my late, beloved dog, Layla. Her nickname was "Silly Moose," and she taught me everything about patience, unconditional love, and the joy of a wagging tail. I founded this business to carry on her legacy by treating every pet I meet with that same "Moose-sized" love. 📬 The "Pet's Best Friend" Professional By day, I’m a Letter Carrier, which truly makes me a pet's best friend! I’m out in the community every day, rain or shine, and I’ve mastered the art of making friends with every pup on the block. My career means I am exceptionally reliable, punctual, and used to being active in all types of weather. 🐾 Rescue-Tested Experience When I’m not on my route, I’m dedicated to rescue work. I am a current volunteer at Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, and I previously spent time with the ASPCA as a shelter walker and dog photographer. These roles have given me invaluable experience with all personality types—from the shyest "underdogs" needing a patient hand to high-energy pups ready for an adventure. 🐈⬛ Tailored Care for Cats While the dogs are out walking, the feline family members aren't forgotten! I offer tailored services specifically for cats. As a "servant" to two cats who rule my own home, I know that every cat is unique—whether they want high-energy laser chasing, gentle brushing, or just some quiet company. I’m happy to handle feedings, litter box maintenance, and plenty of "slow blinks." 🏠 My "Moose" Crew at Home My home is shared with Buttercup, my sweet 5-year-old blue nose Staffordshire Terrier, and my two feline house-rulers. Because I live with a Staffy, I am especially comfortable and experienced with "bully breeds" and larger, powerful dogs. 🤝 The Silly Moose Promise Whether it’s boarding, walking, or house sitting, I know your pets are your family. My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat. I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Post Office, I love animals and will always make time to meet new friends. I am in a transition phase in my career post injury and am trying to be a full time pet friend. At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.
About: I have always had dogs in my household growing up. And my dream was always to own my own dog one day. We adopted our sweet Gibby in 2021. My 4-year old boxer is my world, so I know how scary it can be to leave your pets care in the hands of someone else. Rest assured, I will treat every dog like it is my own as I would want someone to do for mine as well! I work your typical 9-5 Monday-Thursday. I have Fridays off so I have a little extra time In my weekends to spend with your fur babies! I will care for every pet as if it’s my own! I am great at following instructions and can do any special things your pet needs to feel safe and loved
“Emily has walked my dog Reese 3 times now, and she has been great!! She communicates well, spend quality time with Reese and takes great photos, and I know Reese is in good hands with Emily. She has been available to walk Reese with minimal notice when I had a long day at work, and I really appreciated it!”
About: I have been a dog owner and lover for 10 years, providing care for dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I have moved out of my childhood home and away from my own dogs, I am looking to spend time with pups of all types from around the area. :) I am available full time on the weekends (including Friday. With my fenced in yard, I have secure and ample play room for your pup. I own a very curious and dog-friendly cat named Lilo who will thoroughly enjoy all of the company provided. I also have a pup, Charlie, who loves to meet new friends! I will be sure to treat your pets as if they are my own, and I am willing to provide any special treatment you might need to ensure your furry baby’s’ happiness and health. I am currently a contracted worker, so if my schedule shows I’m available, I’m available all day! I can provide whatever care necessary for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a fenced in park down the street for my pup to run around. We go on three walks a day and I ensure he’s well exercised! My cat, Lilo, also is played with throughout the day and both of my furry babies received all of the love they desire. :)
“Christy is great! My dogs always look forward to their walks. She's very professional and reliable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family of dog lovers and have been surrounded by various dogs, of all sizes, my whole life. Presently, I help care for two English Bulldogs, Frank and Dolly, and a rescue Pit Bull named Baxter. My Nana adored English Bulldogs and owned several throughout her life. After she passed away, my mom got Frank in her honor, and our family quickly fell in love with the breed. Frank is the sweetest, most laid-back guy, while Dolly keeps everyone on their toes with her energy and personality. Baxter joined our family this past year after being rescued during a major Indiana snowstorm, and he has proven to be one of the gentlest, most affectionate dogs you could meet. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have experience volunteering at the Humane Society, where I helped feed, walk, bathe, and comfort dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Working with rescue dogs taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of making every dog feel safe and cared for. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with dogs is something I look forward to rather than a chore. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a point to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any household rules your pet is used to. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, energy level, and individual needs. During walks and drop-in visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings, use secure leash-handling practices, and make sure pets are safe and comfortable. My experience caring for English Bulldogs has made me especially aware of weather conditions, hydration needs, and signs of overheating, but I apply the same level of care and attention to every breed. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free in your absence!

“Bowen was communicative and very reliable. My dog has behavioral issues (severe separation anxiety and reactivity) and I’m hesitant to send him off, but Bowen made me feel very comfortable. Bowen even provided me extensive information around how I could help his anxiety as we continue training. He was extremely happy and showed no signs of stress (he typically does) when he returned to me. I will definitely use Bowen again and would highly recommend!”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Leah went above and beyond! She shared photos and updates throughout my trip, making my first Rover experience such a positive one. Eva had the best time, I can’t recommend her enough!! 🙂”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
“We are so grateful to have found Destinee! She took amazing care of our dog, Ru, and went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home. From the moment we dropped Ru off, it was clear that Destinee is not only incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, but truly loves them too. She had everything set up—her doggy pool, extra toys, cozy sleeping spots—and kept us updated with pictures throughout Ru’s stay. They even took her on walks! Knowing Ru was in such loving and capable hands made it easy to relax while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with Destinee again!”
“Melissa was great! She gave frequent updates on our dogs while boarding with her. She is very fast to respond to questions. Would definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“This was our first time having Celestial look after our Arlo. He was nervous at first, just because it was a new environment and he’s a 1yr old, but it did t take him long to get acclimated and have a great time. Celestial was great in looking after our puppy and will use her again.”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter and took exceptional care of my boy Max. He was attentive and kept me updated daily with videos and pictures. Absolutely will be re-booking with him.”
“Nicole was an amazing caretaker of my little dachshund! He had never stayed away from home before and she made him feel at home and settled. I would definitely use her again. She also kept me updated and sent photos and videos which helped me greatly🥰 I picked him up and he was happy and calm😁”
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
“David was great! Saved our family trip with a last minute booking and listened with my concerns on our meet/drop off. The videos sent were reassuring especially with one of my dogs being iffy but they did great from my view and his word. Thanks again”
“This was the second time Richard watched my golden and doodle. He does a great job communicating and providing updates. They came home exhausted from playing with friends while I was away!”
“Kathryn and Garrison took such good care of our Mabel while we were out of town! It ended up being a vacation for Mabel too - she got lots of love and enjoyed running around their backyard! We appreciated the consistent communication and they made sure to understand Mabel’s needs, which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend this pair!”
“Emily and her husband were amazing with our dog. She invited us over before our trip for Our dogs to meet each other. They became fast friends and had a ball while we were away. Emily sent pictures and updates every day. Our flight was delayed coming home and she was very kind and understanding. We’ve found our trusted pet sitter!”
“Tolu was awesome! We needed a someone to watch our dog on very short notice. Would give Tolu more stars if possible because he is great! Don’t hesitate to book with Tolu!”
