“Lindsey and her family were great. She was very attentive to our dogs needs. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and would love to do it again during future vacations. This is the first time using any boarding service and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you Lindsey”

“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”

“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”

“I could not have asked for a better sitter. My baby girl has been struggling lately. Not only did Katelin take amazing care of her, she stayed in touch with me and gave periodic updates. She sent pics and videos to ease my mind. Her whole family loved my baby like their own. She came home the happiest puppy ever. 10 out of 10 - Highly recommend. We will definitely be booking more stays!”

“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”

“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”

“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”

Our family is greatly appreciative of the care Aricela provided to our animals while we were out of town.”

About: I currently have one dog and two parrots of my own. I was raised on a horse farm where I learned to care for and have utmost respect for the animals that I am around. I have fostered pittbulls in the past and rejoined to loving and caring homes. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes along with giving medications and training structures. I am devoted to the animals that I get to meet and care for. I work for the IATSE union as needed. I will post the days that I am unavailable on my sitter profile regularly. Currently have open availability for pet care services. When it comes to my own pets or another’s pet, it is important for all involved to have understanding of the pets needs and how the owner chooses to have their pets handled. Every animal has its own personality and requires respect and to be comfortable with any other being involved in its care.
“Desrah was truly amazing ! Teddy loved her when he first met her and I could tell she truly adored him ! I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of him and I will definitely use Desrah again ! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little man .”

“Sally and her family were amazing!! Her husband fell in love with my bulldog and her daughter loved on my kitty ❤️ Definitely recommend!! They treated my pets and house like it was their own.”

“First time using the Rover service and our first time away from our pet for such a long duration. Franki was an excellent communicator, went above and beyond spending her time with our dog in his own home so he would be comfortable, and we're so thankful for her! Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”

About: I have always had animals in my life all shapes, and sizes all species and breeds. I have had dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, fish, gerbils, racoons I have helped take care of horses, and cows and chickens. I have watched and cared for so many animals in my life and I love every min of it. I am currently a kennel supervisor, doggy daycare attendant, and a petcare specialist at a pet boarding facility in fort wayne. I truly love my job and all our clients that i deal with everyday. I couldn't be happier than I am right now working with animals. I am also a wildlife rehabilitator I have always dreamt of doing what I'm doing right now. Taking care of animals isn't what I do it's who I am. I work with and around animals everyday either here at home with my 5 dogs, 3 cats, 3 coons, and 2 squirrels or at Work. If at your home I will care for them the only way I know how to like they were my own. I will strive to make them the happiest furbabies while your away. I can't wait to be able to spoil your furbaby till you return home.

“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”


About: Have been around cats my whole life. I’ve learned that cats sometimes want love and sometimes want distance. As long as their food and water bowls are full and their litter box is scooped, you’re good in their book! They’ll come get love if they want it.

“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my girls. I received a picture every day and that reassured me that the girls were doing okay. I will definitely be having Taylor watch my girls again!”


“Amara was so kind! She watched my cat for a few days when I was out of town. She was communicative, friendly, and gentle with my cat. I trusted she would give the best care to my pet and she did not disappoint. She even left me a little welcome home card and gift 🩷🐾 I was very happy!”

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for a little over 6 years now . I first started with dog walking and realized how much I enjoy being with animals and taking care of them. I’ve watched dogs and cat for family and friends. I’d love to start caring for animals more so I can eventually turn it into a full time job. I’m currently working a full time job. I get off of work around 3:30 or 4:00 and I go in at 8:00 AM. I will mostly be watching animals after I get done with my job. I would mostly be watching animals in the clients home as my home is not set up to have pets in it as of right now.

“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!”


“Andrea was fantastic and went above and beyond expectations for my cat. She was open and flexible to all of Laila's possible needs while I was gone and kept me carefully updated on it all. She and her son spent extra time playing with, brushing, and cuddling with Laila, even going on a little trip outside for fresh grass on a nice day! I know Laila (and my turtle and fish) had EXCELLENT care while I was gone. On top of it all, Andrea added two extra days at the end of my trip with no notice with no hesitation when I was unable to get home as scheduled. I look forward to having her hang out with my babies again soon!”

“Abbigail was great! She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Abbigail again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”

“Lyndsey did a great job with our dog, Daisy! The pictures she provided were super cute and it felt good to know that someone was watching her while I was at work and my husband was away. I will definitely re-book with her should we need doggy daycare in the future!”

“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”

About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.

About: Hello! I recently moved to Warsaw, Indiana all the way from Arizona and I’m excited to meet new furr-babies. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and I couldn’t imagine my life any other way. I’ve also worked at Petsmart as a dog bather and I’m very experienced in reading a dogs body language. I am a stay-at-home wife, I have a dog named Oakley and two cats. Oakley, a 80-pound golden retriever, is very friendly and has never had a problem with any other dogs. Oakley loves having a good play buddy. I also have plenty of toys for dogs to play with. My cats, on the other hand, prefer to stay to themselves. I have the free time and all the love to be home with your babies. I’m a stay-at-home wife who loves spending time at home and I enjoy going taking my dog out for a walk or playing with whatever toy my brings me. I ensure that every animal is comfortable and feels safe, regardless of whether it prefers solitude or running around. Oakley is incredibly energetic and loves to greet everyone who will let him.
“This was my first time using Rover and it could not have gone any better! Agnatha was extremely responsive. She allowed us to do a meet and greet and also a short trial run before Bobby’s first day with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos for reassurance. Bobby was very comfortable at her house and did so well! Bobby loves her and I know she loves him! We will definitely be using Agnatha again!”

“Heather was very welcoming and great with the girls. She took time to get to know them and spent most of her time with them. They loved her baby bunny smelling back yard. I would definitely take them back.”

“Joscelyn took care of my dog Charlie, while I'm visiting my family in Austin Texas. She did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, and had given me a continuous updates. I will absolutelt recommend her service. Thank you!!”


About: Hello! I am an active pet rescue volunteer ready to care for your pet. Snuggles, playtime, and photos are guaranteed! I feel like I have the best job in the world because I get to meet and care for all kinds of species and breeds, like my very own personal menagerie! I truly look forward to meeting you and providing your furry family members with the extra special care and attention they deserve while you are away. 😊 Trust me, when I say your pet is special to me. My schedule is flexible, so I am available to drop in for a visit in the morning, before work, after work, and/or again in the evening. As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.
“Alicia is AMAZING! She was wonderful at communicating throughout the day and sent the BEST pictures! She was willing to deal with the craziness that comes with a young puppy, and Fig came home content and sleepy! We are so lucky to have found her!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life! I love dogs and treat them just like family! We also love to take pups on walks and play. I am home for the summer with our daughter. I am able to dog sit during the week, over the weekend, and overnight as well. We have a fenced in yard to keep the dogs safe. We also live in an area that is great for walks multiple times a day.
“Absolutely love Anne, I never have to worry about our pup when she's with her no she's in good hands She always takes great care and spoils our dog! Great communicator great personality responsible!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to senior and those with special needs. I previously had a small blind incontinent senior terrier who has since gone over the rainbow bridge, so I understand the extra patience and attention required to make them feel comfortable. I have also raised and house-trained two puppies into adulthood, who are still with my family today! One of them is a unique mix of Belgian Malinois, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, and Rottweiler (Try saying that five times fast!). We had his DNA tested, so we can now confidently confirm his impressive mutt status. His high energy and intelligence required consistent training and socialization. After raising him, it's safe to say that I'm comfortable with puppy routines, basic obedience training, and how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs. What sets me apart is that I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality and comfort level so they receive the best care that fits their individual needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a gentle senior, I will provide the best and reliable care while you are away. I am currently homebound so your fur baby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby so having a temporary walking companion would be great therapy! In my home, your dog will be family. I follow each dog's routine, including feedings times/medications, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. I keep leashes and harnesses ready by the door so dogs are always secured before any potty breaks or walk. If a dog wants to just sunbathe outside, I also have a stake and tie out, so no fence, no problem! To help prevent accidents, stairs and basement access are blocked off at all times, and rooms remain closed. All interactions between dogs will be supervised and there will never be any forced introductions. If a dog needs time to decompress or prefers their own space, I have multiple safe options available, including an end-table crate in the main living area so they can remain close by while I relax, a standard metal crate, and a dedicated quiet room for dogs that may become overwhelmed or simply need a break.
“Amazing! Bell loved it here and she had plenty of time to play and other pups to play with! Amara was amazing! She was very accommodating and sent me lots of photos of Bella!!”

“Emily is amazing!!! She gave me updates on my baby throughout the day. Tons of pictures. I would absolutely use her again in the future! Best first experience using this app.”

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

“So happy to be working with Taylor, she lets my 6 month puppy out every week. She provides me with pictures, and detailed report on how far they walked. You can tell she is a pet lover because she goes the extra mile! One time she stayed over a bit to make sure my pup could play a little before getting back in his kennel! 10/10 recommend Taylor.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I’ve learned how to handle all kinds of personalities, ages, and needs.

When caring for pets in their own home, I do everything I can to keep them comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar space. I follow your routine closely so your pet’s day stays as normal as possible while you’re away.
“Makayla is awesome! My dog can be hesitant around new people but immediately warmed up to her which I immediately recognized as a win. She went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and I were comfortable, with her excellent communication, flexibility, and easy-going disposition. I would 100% recommend Makayla to anyone looking for exceptional care for their four-legged loved one.”

“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”

“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”

“I could not have asked for a better sitter. My baby girl has been struggling lately. Not only did Katelin take amazing care of her, she stayed in touch with me and gave periodic updates. She sent pics and videos to ease my mind. Her whole family loved my baby like their own. She came home the happiest puppy ever. 10 out of 10 - Highly recommend. We will definitely be booking more stays!”

“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”

“We were gone for a week and a half, and she did such a wonderful job with our two boys! She went above and beyond to make sure they were healthy and happy. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she took of our babies while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”

“Heather is very reliable. I’ve used her several times and am happy with her care! She’s very responsive and timely to my inquiries. Would definitely recommend.”

“Agnatha is just the BEST! Risotto loves her so much that he puts on a little temper tantrum when we have to pick him up to bring him home! Definitely recommend hiring Agnatha to watch your dogs!”


“Aricela was an awesome host. Both our cat and dog stayed with her for more than two weeks and returned home in great condition. Aricela sent daily pictures of each animal, and both appeared to be happy and enjoying themselves. Our family is greatly appreciative of the care Aricela provided to our animals while we were out of town.”

“Rebecca is fantastic. My doggo loves hanging out with her. She gives him lots of walks, attention, and hang time, while following our outline for his specific needs. He’s very calm and happy with her.”

“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”

“Jennifer was amazing with our two dogs! She really cares about dogs and did a wonderful job keeping our pups safe and happy! She sent updates and pictures throughout the day which I loved! 10/10! I definitely recommend and would rebook again!”

“Wai was amazing! She took a lot of care to ask lots of questions to best accommodate our dog, sent us daily updates and photos, and far exceeded what was expected! I will be using her from now on”

“Again, Archie had so much fun at Emily's! Even though it was a quick one night stay, he still came home worn out from playing. She sent me the cutest pics of him playing with another dog she was watching. I love that he goes there and gets to play and feel at home.”
