“I had a last minute booking that Lyndsey graciously accepted. She was incredibly communicative and responded back quickly. She has a beautiful property that's a great place for my fur babies to stay. It was my first experience using Rover and would happily book with Lyndsey again!”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”
“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.”
“Katelin did amazing!! She made me feel so at ease leaving my baby for the week. She provided a family oriented stay and kept him busy! She sent lots of photos and videos during the stay as well.”
“Hannah was amazing . Valarie was very calm coming home and not anxious at all . She responded amazingly with text and pictures . She was flexible with our schedule and just a great first experience with a dog sitter overall.”
“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.”
“April and her family were so inviting to Luna! She would send photos of Luna daily to ensure she was having a good time! Definitely eased my mind while I was on vacation!”
“Heather is very experienced with dogs and is careful to not board dogs that won’t get along well with other dogs. Messages are promptly answered and she sent us pictures to reassure us that Pepper was adjusting well to her stay. 🥰 We would be happy to book with Heather again!”
“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. We had a wedding to go to in Hawaii, and the family members who would normally watch our pets for us were going too. I was worried about leaving my 2 dogs and cat for 2 weeks, especially with the 6 hour time difference and being so far from home. I wasn't so much worried about the dogs, but my cat is almost 18 years old. After the meet and greet with Kristen all my fears were put to rest. You can tell she has experience with pet sitting and that she truly cares about your pets. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were in safe hands. My cat is relatively healthy for his age, but is on a couple of medications, and Kristen was able to give him his meds while he stayed with her. She regularly sent me pictures of my pets, with up-dates on how they were doing, and I could see that they were having a great time. The dogs loved lounging in her sunroom and spending time in her fenced in back yard. And my cat had a big cat condo that he loved napping on. I could not be more pleased with this booking, and I would trust Kristen again in a heartbeat to watch my pets. Highly recommend!”
“One of the best! Ted was well taken care of during his stay. Great communication and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable leaving Ted with Agnatha and her family. No doubt in my mind I will use her again when needed. Extremely professional and unlike a lot of others she followed Ted's feeding restrictions. Thanks to Agnatha and her family!”
“We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!”
“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.”
“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”

Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”

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!”

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!”
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.

Whether they are puppies/kittens or senior cats/dogs I will take care of them and treat them with love and care. My days are usually split up between myself and my wife taking care of our dogs. We keep them on a schedule with feedings and trying to take them out as much as possible. I am always willing to walk dogs and keep any routine or schedule needed for them. Taking care of dogs is a daily routine for me. I have 3 dachshund that I split time with my wife taking care of them. We love to take them outside and either play with them or go for walks. They are like children to us and will always see them that way. Keeping up feeding schedules and potty time is always a must to keep them full and happy.

“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for.

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.
“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter. This is my dog’s first time with a sitter and he’s very happy in her home. He’s a little “special needs”. We talked them through before his first visit, and she was willing to learn the best practices to set him up for success. We plan to use her services again soon!”
About: Hi I’m Hannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a German Shepherd! With over 10 years of experience caring for family and friends pets and 2 years working at an animal boarding facility. I can’t wait to meet your pet :) I work a full time night shift job so I am home during the day. My sister works first shift so she is home during the night so no pets will be left alone :) I’m flexible during the day so walking and pet sitting are available as well! When caring for pets in my home, I treat it like their second home, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to playtime, ensuring they get the attention and care they’re used to. I ensure your pet feels calm with unfamiliar surroundings. I’m there to give them all the love they need while you’re away!
“Donut was well taken care of by Millie! I had to be at work last minute and Millie was able to watch him for the entire day and into the evening. I loved how Millie would send photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely book with Millie again!”
About: I have owned dogs for most of my life, usually rescues from the pound until I fell in love with the keeshond breed. I have handled everything from 2 month old puppies to senior dogs. Hello. My name is Diana. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 dogs of my own (a friendly but old lady 10 yr old Bischon Frise and a goofy, very active 10 month old Keeshond. I am willing to work with many different personalities and will cater to your dog’s specific needs. Rest assured that I will treat your dogs like they are part of my own family. I live in a clean, smoke free home with plenty of room for your furr baby to stretch their paws and have a good time. If they enjoy the outdoors im just a 10 minute walk to The Pufferbelly Trail. I will provide regular updates and focus on creating a safe, fun environment for every dog, ensuring they get tailored attention and enrichment. I'm excited to meet you and your furry friend! I have everything needed to take care of both puppies and elderly dogs. A large home with lots of space both inside and outside and plenty of toys for them to enjoy!
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!”
“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.”
“We are so thankful Agnatha was able to watch our baby, Jett! She was so nice, friendly and very welcoming to Jett. We loved getting pictures & knowing our baby was in safe hands. If we are ever back in town we’ll be using Agnatha again! Highly recommend her!! ❤️”

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.
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.
About: Growing up I’ve always had a love for animals. We had a range of different pets, you ask and I probably had one! I have worked a few years in a grooming salon. Friends and family have made me the go to person to pet sit for them when it’s needed. I enjoy it every single time and can’t pass up the opportunity. I have three dogs and one cat of my own. “Be the person your dog thinks you are.” Pet care is my focus on a full-time career. Whatever needs you may want we can work something out to accommodate those needs. Available during the week anytime and occasional weekends, as pet care is my full time job! Every pet and client is different. You tell me your needs and wants and they will be implemented. Lots of love and belly rubs will be given to your fur baby. We will become best friends!

“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!”

“First meeting went well. Sally is kind and was aware of the surroundings at the park where we met. She was understanding about our fearful rescue Portia. So that was just a meet ‘n greet. Our second dog, Baloo, happily walked at her side. Will be booking more walkies with Miss Sally!”

“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.”

I currently work for Amazon and have a schedule of four 10-hour shifts each week. Outside of work, I have plenty of time to care for and spend with your pets. I have been dog sitting since I was a kid and have always had a love for animals. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members, and I would treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own! I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

“I had a last minute booking that Lyndsey graciously accepted. She was incredibly communicative and responded back quickly. She has a beautiful property that's a great place for my fur babies to stay. It was my first experience using Rover and would happily book with Lyndsey again!”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”
“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.”
“Katelin did amazing!! She made me feel so at ease leaving my baby for the week. She provided a family oriented stay and kept him busy! She sent lots of photos and videos during the stay as well.”
“Hannah was amazing . Valarie was very calm coming home and not anxious at all . She responded amazingly with text and pictures . She was flexible with our schedule and just a great first experience with a dog sitter overall.”
“April and her family were so inviting to Luna! She would send photos of Luna daily to ensure she was having a good time! Definitely eased my mind while I was on vacation!”
“Heather is very experienced with dogs and is careful to not board dogs that won’t get along well with other dogs. Messages are promptly answered and she sent us pictures to reassure us that Pepper was adjusting well to her stay. 🥰 We would be happy to book with Heather again!”
“One of the best! Ted was well taken care of during his stay. Great communication and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable leaving Ted with Agnatha and her family. No doubt in my mind I will use her again when needed. Extremely professional and unlike a lot of others she followed Ted's feeding restrictions. Thanks to Agnatha and her family!”
“We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!”
“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.”
“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”
“Millie was great! This was my first time being away from the puppy and she was so sweet and loving with her, and she communicated with me and sent me updates and pictures. So cute! And she has a backyard and a park nearby. I will definitely use Millie again!”
“I just want to say I really appreciate Emily so much. My boyfriend and I were here in Indiana for work and came across an issue with the hotel where we were staying, as they said they didn’t allow pets. Emily instantly came through for us. I didn’t know what to do; we couldn’t drive 8 hours back home, and no one wanted to watch him anyway. But overall, the experience was great. You can tell she has a passion for this and is a dog lover who doesn't discriminate against any dog. She was professional, and when it comes to communication about my dog, top tier. Please book her — trust me, she is worth it.”
“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”
