“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!”
“The best person i could ever ask to take care of my baby Challa. Rajesh is very sweet and personable. He is wonderful with communicating and sending pictures. I will definitely bring Challa back to Rajesh. I 100% trust and know he will be taken good care of with Rajesh. Thank you so much again. Challa misses you already ?”
“Mallory was absolutely amazing with Harvey & Jack🤍 She kept me updated throughout their stay, made them feel comfortable, & treated them like her own! Harvey immediately bonded with her (which says a lot because he’s very shy), & Jack came home happy, tired, & well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, & clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her with my boys again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, & patient with dogs of all personalities & sizes!”
“Karen, Our dog loves staying with Karen and can't wait for her to open her front door to greet him! He is well taken care of when he stays with her.

“Amy and Caleb T. are a couple of rock stars in the pet care industry. I truly appreciate the clear communication they provided from the beginning. They were able to accommodate my dog and me on short notice. Even on a few days’ notice, we were able to have a quick meet-and-greet, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. I also appreciate the pictures they sent me during my trip, which made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was having a great time with them. I definitely plan to book with them in the future because of their exceptional service. From any concerns they may have had to the fun-loving pictures they sent me, everything was great. Thank you all so much for taking care of my boy.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! She settled in quite nicely with Stephanie and her family. We appreciated her communication and the photos. Would definitely leave Sadie with Stephanie again!”
“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”

Cat caregivers near you - Kirklin
About: I’ve grown up with cats all my life and currently take care of two cats and two kittens. My care provides meals, training, play time, and cuddles! I have experience with both outgoing cats that need lots of attention and introverted cats that tend to like their alone time. Since my female cat had kittens, I also have experience of caring for small kittens as well!
“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 worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals. I love spending time with cats of all personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and always happy to play, feed, and give them attention.
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
“Liz was an absolute pleasure!! Our fur babies had no problems with her at all and even got our dog to eat her food(she never eats while we are away). Thank you so much for an amazing experience Liz💜”
About: Since I was 14, I’ve been responsible for taking care of my own dogs and those of my neighbors, family, and friends. I come from a large dog family, from a Great Pyrenees to Labs and German Shepherds, but I’ve also been able to care for smaller dogs in my neighborhood. I’ve also cared for sensitive and reactive dogs who came from hard backgrounds, so I have experience taking it slow to build trust. I also care for cats as well, with experience from my own 13 year old orange cat and my mom’s two crazy kittens. Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing tug of war, giving them meds, or just keeping them company, I love any time I get to spend with fur babies. I’m preparing to leave for a scholarship in Poland at the end of September after graduating with my Master’s degree in May, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am free most days and times with the exception of a few days with prior commitments throughout the summer. I strive to provide the best care with the utmost respect for you and your fur baby’s home. If there’s anything I should know about your pet’s care preferences or any neighborhood/environmental concerns, please let me know so that I may keep your pet safe at all times. I have experience with fenced in yards and open areas, as well as plenty of experience with flight risk dogs (those German Shepherds love to run!) and returning them safely home. My goal is to keep your pet and place safe and clean until you return home.
About: I've taken care of so many cats in my life to pet sit or just to take in when a cat needed a home. Some call me the crazy cat lady and some call me the pet whisperer. I'll be honest I like pets more than I do most humans.
“Tiffany did an outstanding job with our cats and house. She provided daily updates and pictures, and very provided very prompt responses whenever I texted or called. We would have her watch over our house and cats without any hesitation.”
“Logan was great to work with, flexible and patient while listening to my complicated instructions! She was very responsive every time I sent a message. She walked, played with, and cuddled my cat, and kept all 31 houseplants looking great over my extended vacation. Will definitely call her again. Thanks, Logan!”
“We highly recommend Zachary! He took great care of our kitties for 2 weeks. we could not have been more pleased. We loved getting pictures of our boys while on vacation. We will definitely use him again.”
About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals. At a very young age I started helping care for the animals which lead to me house sitting as well as walking them. I work 4 days a week and do this part time. I love spending time with my animals and love working taking care of them. We have a fenced in yard we have lots of toys for them to be entertained and well taken care of. And plenty treats for them to enjoy.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kirklin
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
About: ABOUT ME: Completely insured WITH Animal Bailee Insurance and Vet Protection Coverage through PCI. I have been on and off Rover since I was in college and own my small business. I am a previous dog owner. My animals were not only my pets, but they were my family. I had my Labrador for 13 years and my Boxer mix for 15 years. We used to love to take long strolls around the neighborhood and visit our pals at the local dog park. We would cook dinner and lounge around watching our favorite flicks. We even took car rides around town when we got bored. Over the years, we went through everything from crazy puppy phases, to professional command/leash training, and experienced all medical scares (labs love to chew on EVERYTHING) under the sun. Maple was a diabetic for 7 years. I can assist with any type of need ranging from long walks, simple belly rubs, to training help. I am highly experienced in administering topical, oral and injectable medications, as well as eye and ear medications. My senior pets care needs helped build my knowledge in senior dogs. I am well educated on many types of medications and daily care pills. Whatever the need may be just ask me! EDUCATION: I am a graduate with my b.s. in buisness from Purdue. I currently am a stay at home mother, with much freedom to build my own schedule. Therefore I am always available for drop-ins and pup walks throughout the week and weekends. I am completely insured with $1M general liability, Animal Bailee Insurance, and Vet Protection Coverage. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own pets, like family. Play time, walks, relaxing on the couch, eating treats, you know... just hanging out.
“Dustin did a great job taking care of Patty with short notice. He was flexible and quick to respond to set up a meet and greet at the last minute when we had a death in the family. Patty enjoyed her day with Dustin and the rest of the pups. She loves meeting new people and pups but can be a bit shy and clinging at first but it was clear from the photos that Dustin provided that she was happy and content while we were away. She isn't used to being around several dogs and Dustin did a great job getting her settled in. She loves laying in the sun and roaming around grassy areas and Dustin's yard was like a big wonderful park for her where she could be off leash and enjoy the outdoors and running. We will absolutely be taking Patty back for just play time with other pups to make sure she stays socialized. She came home tired and happy and it was clear she was very well cared for. Thank you Dustin!”

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.
“As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous leaving our dog with a sitter, but Rebecca & Jonathan did an incredible job and quickly put our minds at ease. They were attentive, trustworthy, and took great care of our dog. We truly appreciated the experience and would absolutely book with them again! 10/10 would recommend!”
About: Most of my life has been caring for pets and having multiple pets in my home. It's my passion to be a loving safe space for any animal that's in need of one. I'm currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to care and love on your pet/pets and their daily needs. I live in a private neighborhood with no traffic. I have a fenced in back yard for your pet to safely explore. You can feel confident your pet will be safe and happy at my house.
“Biscuit always loves to visit and since he varies in energy levels, I never know what type of day he'll bring when I drop him off, but she is so flexible and great with him!”
“Codi had a great time playing with Sarah and her two sweet pups! She came home super exhausted and happy. We can’t wait to send her to Sarah’s again and will definitely be booking again soon.”
About: Hi there, my name is Sky. I have a 5-year-old golden retriever and his name is Marco. He gets along with other dogs well and loves people. He is very smart, super friendly, and behaves very well. He can even open the fridge get me a diet Coke, and close the fridge's door. I love being around dogs and I think they are precious angels! I am a very responsible, considerate, and patient person. I will do everything I can to take care of your furry friends while you are away. If you need help, please let me know. I am excited to see your angels! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I have a gold retriever, and I take him out for a walk at least 3 times a day. I live in a safe and family-friendly neighborhood and almost every family has a dog here. I would love to walk your dog to the park. I also have a big backyard.
“Veronika was so welcoming and took great care of our pup. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and our pup had a blast. Thank you Veronika for all you do.”
“Mark and Kelly were very sweet and patient with our little 14 year old dog, Roxi. Roxi stayed at their house for a couple days while we were in town visiting. She was nervous at first with the elderly dogs that lived there but Mark and Kelly made sure she had a "safe place" and over time she even started to venture out of her shell. The stay there was good for her.”
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.

I have raised many animals from babes to adults as well.

About: Since I was 14, I’ve been responsible for taking care of my own dogs and those of my neighbors, family, and friends. I come from a large dog family, from a Great Pyrenees to Labs and German Shepherds, but I’ve also been able to care for smaller dogs in my neighborhood. I’ve also cared for sensitive and reactive dogs who came from hard backgrounds, so I have experience taking it slow to build trust.

Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing tug of war, giving them meds, or just keeping them company, I love any time I get to spend with fur babies. I’m preparing to leave for a scholarship in Poland at the end of September after graduating with my Master’s degree in May, so my schedule is incredibly flexible.

My goal is to keep your pet and place safe and clean until you return home.
About: I have been house/pet-sitting full time for two years now, with over 10 years of professional sitting experience, and a lifetime of living and playing around animals of all kinds. My senior dog companion, Mowgli, travels with me which brings a unique dynamic and ensures your pets have a friendly distraction from your absence. Since this is my full-time gig, you can rest assured that your animal’s and house’s wellbeing are my top priority while you are away. Working remotely gives me the freedom and flexibility to travel and spend extra time with your pets while you are away. I treat your animals and home as if they were my own. Since I will be living there, taking extra care to keep things tidy and organized is not only my way of providing excellent service, it’s a way for me to ensure Mowgli and I feel as at home as possible too. I know how I would want someone to treat Mowgli and my home if I were away, and that carries over into my own professional approach.
About: Over the years I have owned and taken care of many of my neighbors pets. I have really come to live it and decided to go full time as a pet sitter. I have an mostly open schedule always free during the weekdays and most times during the weekends including some holidays. Feel free to message me for more details. I always make sure to keep the pets safe in a respectful warm manner when they are with me. I always try to read the body language to see what the animal needs. I love to do the standard playing with toys and always bring a smile to keep a positive vibe.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life & now have one of my own. I have also taken care of both dogs & cats for friends & family so have experience there as well. I’m a part time nanny looking for some ways to make some extra money when I don’t have the baby I take care of. I am pretty open throughout the week and would love to help out! I enjoy going on walks and runs with dogs, playing with them at parks and inside, and am willing to do whatever they are used to doing while their owners are away. There are many nearby parks in my area that I’d be willing to take the dogs to as well.
About: Hi, I say 15 years of pet care experience but I have always had an animal or reptile in the house. Through the years/growing up my family has had a lab, dachshunds, and a lab/pit mix, all ranging from puppy to adult. I also have experience dog sitting for multiple coworkers while they are out of town, so my schedule is flexible as far as weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I absolutely love dogs and am willing to do what it takes to care for them. If they were to come to stay with me there would be a DIY fenced in area to play. Recently got a pup of my own so all must be open to her. She is a full blooded basset who loves to play sleep and cuddle. She loves people and others animals! Just wants someone to play and chase! I’m working full time which is 4 10 hr shifts. Typically no weekends. As long as they can manage to be cooped up that long im very flexible. I can do in home stays which is currently what I’ve been doing. If not they are welcome in my home. Can work with holidays and other needs Walking playing and special needs that may need to be provided. Cleaning up when necessary. Making sure they too feel comfortable with myself and dog of my own. Just let me know what your needs are!
About: I am a huge dog lover! My 7 year old lab/pit mix Conway is my rock and best friend. I care for all dogs like I care for Conway. I have had a dog all of my life, so I am very comfortable with pet care of all types. I am an experienced dog-walker as well and have cared for friends' and neighbors' pets for many years. Also, I am working on Conway's summer body and we are up to 3 mile walks a day. I am not saying that your dog needs all three miles but I am up for doing the long walks, if needed. I work from home every day. I have essentially wide open availability (minus some scattered meetings that will be scheduled ahead). I can care for your pet on any week day or weekend. Day or night. *Unfortunately, I do not have any pet care for my own dog. At this time, I will have to bring him with me for any house sitting opportunity. I am happy to set up any meet and greet.* I am caring and respectful of the owner's wishes. Having a dog of my own, I know how important it is for owners to ensure that they are leaving their fur babies home with somebody that cares and they trust. If an owner has specific directions of care, I will follow those to the T.
“Beth was so sweet especially because I asked for her last minute! She took our lab pup out for a run and played with her in our dog park and Skylar was tired and happy afterwards, would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was about 8 and I have always helped my parents take care of my dogs at home. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee as an animal science major on the pre-veterinary track, so I have a love and passion for taking care of animals. I have been accepted into veterinary school and plan to go next year. For the past two summers, I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant and and I have worked as a Kennel Assistant for 2 years during the school year. I have learned even more about caring for pets during that time; including dealing with puppies, administering medication, and working with anxious or unpredictable pets. As a recent graduate, I have a lot of time on my hands as a figure out my next step before veterinary school. I’m so excited to continue working with animals! I love going to the local parks nearby and walking dogs, as well as spending time with them inside, giving them belly rubs, love, and attention!
“Grace did a great job with our high energy Aussie puppy! She was very kind, competent, and caring. Responded quickly and was very flexible when our schedule changed. We felt very comfortable letting Grace into our home and taking care of our pup!”
About: Young professional who loves to spend time with dogs in my free time. My free time is usually spent at home watching movies and just relaxing. What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A

“Amy and Caleb T. are a couple of rock stars in the pet care industry. I truly appreciate the clear communication they provided from the beginning. They were able to accommodate my dog and me on short notice. Even on a few days’ notice, we were able to have a quick meet-and-greet, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. I also appreciate the pictures they sent me during my trip, which made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was having a great time with them. I definitely plan to book with them in the future because of their exceptional service. From any concerns they may have had to the fun-loving pictures they sent me, everything was great. Thank you all so much for taking care of my boy.”

“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”
“Audrey was great! She kept us updated throughout our Poodle's stay at her house. Audrey made sure we felt comfortable and reassured. She sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. Audrey's home is clean and pet-friendly, and it's clear she loves animals. We will be booking with Audrey again in the future. We recommend her services!”

Our pup just loved her and it was evident that she felt right at home. We will definitely be returning.”
About: As someone who has worked with a countless amount of dogs and cats, I understand that every pet is different. I am a registered vet tech with the love for animals. I work at a small animal vet with a specialty in dogs and cats. I am experienced in administering medications of all types (oral, injectables, transdermal) and am proficient in identifying symptoms of illness. While your pet is under my care, I prioritize making sure they have fresh, clean water, clean environment, exercise, and food as needed. With my experience as a registered vet tech, I understand how each pets needs are different. I currently don’t have any pets of my own so your dog would be my sole focus. I can accommodate any feeding schedule and can accommodate any medications. Your pet will be taken out on a leash for potty breaks and won’t be left unmonitored while outside.
