“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!”
“Crystal has kept our pup several times while we were traveling and she is amazing! I always enjoy seeing a few photos and knowing she's in excellent care and having fun while we are away.”
“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!”

“Diana & Kevin took such good care of our anxious pup, Gus. They sent us updates and were so sweet to him! Highly recommend. We can’t wait to use Diana & Kevin again soon.”
“First time using Rover and had a fantastic experience! Our pet sitter, Gabbi, maintained great communication throughout the entire process. She was easy to coordinate with, which gave us real peace of mind. Her space is well-kept, with plenty of area for our dog to relax, go on walks, and stay active. We especially appreciated the regular picture updates-it was reassuring to see our dog happy and well cared for. We will definitely be having her watch our dog again.”

“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.

“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.”
“Raelyn did a wonderful job watching our cat, Soleil! The day before we left for vacation, we had to take him to the vet because he seemed to be having some kidney issues. This made me extra nervous to leave him, but I was put at ease with all the pictures and updates Raelyn provided. Raelyn’s communication and love for animals (especially cats) is top notch and we will definitely be booking her again.”
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’m a pet sitter with lots of shelter and veterinary clinic experience. I worked for two years at an animal shelter and over a year with a high-volume mobile spay/neuter and wellness clinic, where we handled and cared for 100+ cats per day, including shy, undersocialized, and high-stress cats. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and needs, from playful kittens to senior and special-needs cats. I also have experience with cats who are anxious, sensitive, or need a slower, more patient approach. I understand that every cat has their own comfort level and personality. I take a calm, gentle approach and pay close attention to what each cat needs to feel comfortable. I also keep an eye on important signs of how they’re doing, like appetite, litter box routine, energy level, and overall behavior. I’m very safety-focused and have done a lot of learning about feline body language, carrier and transport safety, straightforward medication routines, and common household hazards (including toxic plants, foods, and cleaning products). I truly treat every cat I care for the way I treat my own, with patience, respect, and close attention to their routine and comfort. Every visit includes thorough photo updates and notes, and my priority is always safe, reliable care so your cat feels secure and you feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“10/10 recommend, I can’t say enough great things about Juliana. Not only did she take amazing care of my cats while I was away, but she also went above and beyond by overnighting my passport to me. That kind of thoughtfulness and reliability is rare, and I’m so grateful. Truly trustworthy, caring, and professional—I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Sarah went above and beyond during her visits. She was everything we could’ve asked for and we really appreciated what she did while we were gone and the attention she gave to our kitties. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her”
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!
“Hannah did an excellent job! My cat can be skittish and slow to warm up to people, and it is clear that Hannah knew what to do to make her feel safe. I could tell by the pictures Hannah sent that my cat felt comfortable and trusting. My cat takes pills for asthma, and Hannah had no problem administering those. She communicated with me every day, stopping by regularly twice a day for a week, and responded to my messages immediately. I highly recommend her for her kindness, reliability, and knowledge as a vet med student, and will absolutely use her services again when I'm out of town.”
About: I’ve been watching dogs since I was about 8, I’ve been responsible for bathing, giving medicine and making sure they are well loved while owners are away. I specifically love the ability to care for the furry ones you love when you cannot devote the time needed or wanted for them! I am currently in nursing school so my schedule can be wonky some weeks, but my usual availability is 1-6 most weekdays and usually between 8AM and 9:00 PM on weekends! I have a Malshi (Maltese shihtzu mix) he plays mostly In our backyard as well as with my neighbors German Shepard, we live on a 1 acre plot.
“Brelynn is amazing! She was so kind and gentle with my senior dog, who needs medicine hidden in wet food and also needs assistance getting up and down the stairs to my deck. Even in frigid January temperatures, Brelynn gave my dog the outdoor time she needed and then cuddled with her indoors for the rest of the visit. She gave my dog more time and attention than I can provide over a rushed lunch hour, and I’m so grateful for the loving care she gave my doggy!”
About: I've been watching pets for a very long time around my neighborhood and i've been wanting to expand my clientele for a while! I have two dogs at home so I know a lot about dogs and about what they need from a caregiver. I have a lot of experience from helping out neighbors with cats and dogs but also even with hamsters, turtles, and even fish. I love animals and I would love to help out! I'm currently 19 and about to be a sophomore in college at IU Bloomington. I'm here for the summer before I have to go back to college in August so pet sitting is the perfect opportunity! I'm free to help anytime! I have a big yard and two dogs at home to keep your pets company! I have a food bowl, water bowl, and 2 different crate sizes available for when your pets come, and endless toys. I love keeping my clients updated, especially for a long stay so pictures and videos can be provided too!
“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.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kirklin
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.
“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: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for our own beloved Labs. We had the joy of raising a chocolate Lab for 16 years and a silver Lab for 12 years — they were family in every sense of the word. After saying goodbye to both of them in 2024 and 2025, our home felt a little too quiet. We’re not quite ready to adopt again, but our hearts and home are wide open. That’s what brought us to Rover. We know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your dog, and we take that responsibility seriously. Your pup will be welcomed into our home the same way we cared for ours — with patience, love, and the kind of attention only dog people can give. We have a fully fenced in yard for safe outdoor play, plus plenty of walking paths right in our neighborhood to keep your dog active and happy. Both my husband and I work from home full time, which means your pup is never left alone. We’re here throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, and routine walks — keeping their schedule as normal and stress-free as possible. Your dog will be in a safe, loving environment from the moment they arrive. Our home features a fully fenced yard for worry-free outdoor play and neighborhood walking paths for daily exercise. We also have a cozy dog bed ready for naps and downtime, but couch cuddles and sleeping in bed are more than welcome too — whatever makes your pup feel most at home.
“2nd time was as good or better than the first! Samantha is perfect for Louie and us. Reliable, consistent, responsive, and loving with our puppy. Highly recommend her!”
“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I love all animals, and you can rest assured that I will treat your's like one of my own. I'm competent, dependable, responsible, fun, and I can follow directions. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats, but I'm equally comfortable and capable of house sitting and/or taking care of any animals you may have! I work a full time job from home and have a 14 year old son. We have a 1 year old aussie/blue heeler mix that loves playmates! My yard is fully privacy fenced. I love animals and just adore meeting yours. 🥰 I'm trustworthy, responsible, and will take care of your pets and property with the upmost respect. You can return to a home exactly like you left it or better. Your pet will be well taken care of in my home and loved/cuddled like my own.
“We were so grateful that she was able to help us with a last-minute booking. She was kind, welcoming, and took wonderful care of Joy. It gave us peace of mind knowing Joy was in such good hands. We would love to have Joy stay with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie always takes such good care of Ivy. Ivy has stayed with her a few times now and has done so great. She always sends updates and makes sure Ivy has everything she needs. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.
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.
“Maureen was super flexible and eager to get to know our dog. My pup was good and tired from exploring her cute home & gorgeous backyard while running around with her dog Jordan. I will be back.”
“Janet saved the day! My husband and I were staying at a Home2 Suites locally for a couple nights with Stella and Jäger as we are moving from Ohio. The dogs struggled in the hotel and we were told that they could not stay alone as they cried and whined while we were away. I found Janet on Rover late in the evening on Monday and we were able to get daycare booked for the next day while we completed our final walk through and closing on our new house. A huge weight was lifted as we know this move is a big transition for not just Stella and Jäger but also for my husband and I. Janet played with Jäger and Stella and even sent me a picture to help ease my mind. So thankful for her!!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily. Along with that experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals to care for. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, and extended stays depending on availability. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure every pet feels secure and cared for.

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.
About: I am a former veterinary technician that has years of experience with animals. I have experience with special needs, medication, geriatric, special diet, restraint, IV fluids, and much more. I have worked with dogs in the veterinary field, training, and doing therapy work. I can also care for cats, reptiles, birds and your other pets. I have worked for an animal sanctuary where we had many different animals. I was in charge of the infirmary there and medicating all the animals as far as any sick or injured animals and monthly flea and tick treatments. I cared for animals there from the very small, winged, scaly to the large cows and horses. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies to love and care for like they were my own. I am willing to work with just about anyone's schedule. If you can be flexible, we can always work something out. Available for your pets any day of the week and during most hours. Your pet's care is my priority. I come to your home for care which makes your pet(s) feel much more at ease. When your pet is in their own environment, they are less stressed while you are gone.

I currently have no dogs living with me (my dog lives with my boyfriend) so happy to accommodate dogs that are more shy I live in an apartment, but right on a walking trail and tons of grass space so we take walks and outside adventures often. I am a paranoid soul & helicopter parent so no worries, I will follow your dog around with a pillow! haha
About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

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: 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 have had pets all my life and dealt with all sorts of animals growing up in nature. I currently have three dogs that are older. I trained them as puppies and now work to care for them as seniors. I have 6+ years in the food service industry so I am not afraid of a mess and will do the best I can to care and love your pet while you’re away. I am currently working remotely as a research assistant this summer and part time in food service industry. I can spend nights with your pets to comfort them and stop by to let them out and play multiple times a day. I can do early morning and late night stopbys as well. I have a large yard where my three dogs love to run around and play. As puppies, I crated them so I am perfectly comfortable with which ever method you prefer. I’ve also taken my dogs to dog parks and on long walks/hikes before, on and off leash.
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 taken care of everything from Great Danes to chihuahuas to turtles to new born kittens! Experienced and ready to run or sit (depending on the fury friend) I have an open schedule and am at a point where I am able to focus fully on caring for your furry friends and I am more than excited! I am a very cautious individual and will either keep them in their fenced in yard (if able) or will make sure they are leashed up for some adventures outside the home!
About: I have extensive experience with dogs, starting at a young age. I’ve almost always had at least one dog in my home, with their ages ranging from 3 months to 18 years. I’ve worked as a dog walker for both small and large breeds and have also boarded dogs for up to two weeks at a time. I believe in the importance of physical exercise and enjoy activities like fetch, hiking, and long walks to keep your furry friend happy and healthy! I have also volunteered in animal shelters and have worked with an animal prosthetic company. Giving back, especially to animals in need has always been a passion of mine. I currently work in the medical field and can take care of any medication/first aid needs as required. I work full time, however work 4 days/week and have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed. My fiancé also has the ability to work from home. We have a spacious 2 story home. We typically hang out on the 1st floor which is very pet friendly and has comfortable spots for your dog(s) to enjoy. We have several dog beds and toys they are welcome to use, but also feel free to bring your own! We have a fairly large, fenced in backyard that we continue to maintain to keep our pup and yours safe!

She was easy to coordinate with, which gave us real peace of mind. Her space is well-kept, with plenty of area for our dog to relax, go on walks, and stay active.

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.

“Jeff and his family were absolutely wonderful! We left our dog with them for more than 3 weeks. We were out of country and they were able to maintain constant contact with us and they updated us on everything regarding our dog. They shared many pictures of Soxx throughout our absence. Soxx our dog bonded well with their pet and he also get to socialize with all the other dogs at their home. I highly recommend this family to dog sit your pet if you are in need. Thank you very much jeff 😊 and your entire family for looking after Soxx. We will be using their services again.”
