“Nora is great. Kia is an older dog and set in her ways. Nora was so patient with her and took top notch care of her. I got daily updates. Kia wouldn’t eat for the first couple of days and Nora found a solution to get her to eat. Your dog is in good hands with Nora.”
“Tawny was super awesome. I felt 100% about leaving Nisa with her. I always got a sweet picture and update at the end of the day and knew Nisa was happy at Tawny’s doggie paradise.”
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“Celsei did a great job with our cat Apollo. She sent regular pictures and had a good process for helping him get acquainted with her house. We will definitely have Apollo go back to her if we ever need to board him again!”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”

“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing. My dog Luna stayed with her for a week and Kelly kept me updated regularly and took great care of Luna. I will use Kelly’s services again and would highly recommend others to do so.”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”
About: I’ve pet sat since age 10, having 3 dogs of my own growing up. I have pet sit for neighbors, friends, and family through the years Im a student, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m a student athlete at IU, and an animal behavior major. Feel free to reach out about scheduling! I make sure to follow your specific instructions carefully such as potty breaks when needed, feeding times, play time, locking up the crates(if applicable), etc
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I’m currently a student at Indiana University and I am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and I have had a dog my whole life and have dog sat and dog walked for many friends and family members.
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”

About: I have been around cats my whole life. I’ve made friends with the cats that others say, “oh she’s not too fond of people” like magic! And I’ve given oral medications to cats handfuls of times.
“Makayla was fantastic! She was communicative and even went above and beyond to help us after an address mix-up on our end. Would trust her with any of our pet care!”
“Ashli is awesome! This was our first drop-in without anyone home after a meet & greet, and everything went great. She kept an eye on Coda and made sure he didn't try to swallow any bully stick pieces and even brought our packages inside. Our plans changed last minute, and Ashli was super flexible with timing, so we were able to stay out a little later. It's a huge relief not having to worry about being away knowing she's keeping him company and taking great care of him.”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets when you are not able to. I myself have grown up with dogs my whole life and would pet sit my neighbors animals all the time. Now, I have my own little zoo of 2 dogs, 3 cats, and some geckos. I spent one year in a vet tech program so i know the basics of animal medicine, 6 months taking care of the marine mammals at Shedd Aquarium, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology. I understand it is hard to leave your pets unattended for hours on end and stressful when you come home to an accident but they can't help it. I want to help alleviate that stress for you and your pet by giving them the best care possible. I can only provide check-ins and walking services. I am looking for some supplemental income to help support my little family. I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old but have recently gotten a full time job in the Bloomington area. I am available during early evening hours and weekends. They are family so they get treated with respect and love and I will treat yours like I treat mine to make sure they are happy and living their best life.
About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. I've watched over dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have had all sorts of pets from cats to dogs to birds. All have been lovely companions and precious members of my family. Each one has held a special place in my heart! ☺️ As a student living away from home, I deeply miss the daily joy of caring for dogs. Back home, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and a terrier mix, so I am very comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping them happily exercised. I also raised a sweet coonhound/basset hound mix, giving me a soft spot for gentle hounds. I am excited to bring that same love, patience, and dedicated care to your fluffy family members! My priorities for pets are Hygiene, Routines, and Care. Making sure pets are clean and comfortable, well fed, and well rested is most important! Ultimately, you know your furbaby best, so I am always completely open and attentive to any specific instructions or routines you request!
About: I’ve had cats all my life from Persians to Himalayans to Rag Dolls to Maine Coons to Domestic Short Hairs to Tabbies to Siamese, just to name a few. I’ve had them from kittens to old grouchy sweeties. I’m perfectly respectful of some cats’ boundaries and preference for space, but I’ll be around with wet food and maybe a couple cat treats to hopefully gain their trust. Being a cat lover all my life, I care about these amazing animals deeply. I’m no stranger to cleaning litter boxes, hair balls, or giving them medications.
About: Hello! My name is Mirte (pronounced meer‑tah), and I’ve been caring for pets professionally for several years now. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and a goofy beagle named Mylo, and I adore them both like family. That same level of love, patience, and attention is what I bring to every cat I care for. Before pursuing social work I originally planned to become a veterinary technician, so my love for animals runs deep. Cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your kitty is shy, social, playful, or independent, I connect in a way that feels right for them. 🐈🧶 My schedule is very flexible right now since I’ve just wrapped up my internship, and I offer everything from drop‑ins to overnight stays. I always prefer meeting in person beforehand so you and your cat feel completely at ease. I’d love to connect and support you however I can; your pet’s well‑being truly matters to me.
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m especially experienced with cats (I have one myself!) and understand their different personalities and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to feed, administer basic medications, clean litter boxes, and provide plenty of attention and playtime. I know how important it is for cats to stick to their usual routine, so I always follow care instructions closely and pay attention to their behavior. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to send updates while you’re away so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for.

“Tawny was relaxed and good with my dogs. She wasn’t put off by my Shepherds size or talkativeness. On the other hand, I was nervous. First time leaving my dogs with a new sitter. Tawny thought to send pictures of my dogs with some new friends without me asking, which was a relief. My dogs were happy and tired when I picked them up. They had had a great day. They even got a very sweet card from Tawny’a own dogs. Very nice touch”

I gave her a brief overview of their personalities and my expectations for the day and she provided an easy, stress-free day for me!

I would definitely book with her again!”
About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!

I feed them and take them on a walk first thing in the morning after I wake up and right before bed. Throughout the day I play with them inside or outside depending on the weather. I train them for at least 30 minutes a day using treats and techniques I’ve learned in dog training classes. I will rotate there toys as well to keep them interesting and engaging, as well as use dog training puzzles for mental stimulation. I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I was 11 years old. There were always pets in my home growing up, and it was always my responsibility to take care of them after I turned 11 years old. Once I moved out at 19, I had my own dog, and got a second one a year later. They are the best dogs, and I am so grateful to be there dog mom!

About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more.

I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—pets have always been part of my family! Right now, I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I don’t just work with cats and dogs either—I’ve cared for everything from hamsters to horses, and even birds!

Pet care is part of my everyday life! With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to easily build my day around walks, feedings, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. One thing I ask is to be made aware of any pineapple scented items(soaps, air fresheners, food, etc.) before entering the home as I am severely allergic. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and well-loved, and I always provide updates while you’re away.

About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve!

About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional contexts: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times. I am available all day every day for any kind of pet needs, and I can house cats overnight, however, I am unable to house dogs overnight. I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.
About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).
About: I have been house sitting and taking care of pets throughout high school and college. I have two cats of my own. I treat any pet as if it is my own when watching them! I am free a lot of the time and can work around many different schedules. I am easy to work with and am very flexible! I play with my own cats every chance I get and make sure they have everything they could need or want. I do this with the pets I watch as well because that’s how I would want my cats taken care of!
About: Ive had my own Doggy Babies and taken care of doggies for 20 years!! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, bathe, sit overnight and care for their pets. Im currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!! Ive always loved doggies and love to play and have fun or just sit and chill together!! I have a fenced in yard where our doggies run and play. We have one small guy named Cooper. And one medium girl named Sage. Cooper is Morkie (maltese-yorkie) and LOVES every other animal and humans. Sage is mixed breed and is so gentle and little shy till she gets to know you
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! I am working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays currently. Please refer to my calendar for more details! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or yell, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!
About: My prices are NEGOTIABLE!🎉 I placed an AVERAGE rate of $50 per night but there are so many other factors to consider when it comes to your fur babies. I am not difficult to work with on that, so please don’t be shy asking for something that respects your budget. ☺️ I currently work as a PROFESSIONAL nurse 😉. I am a nature lover all-around. I’m happy to bring your animals to my house to pet sit or stay in with them while you’re away. I can also make sure your plants are happy and if you’re really specific with your instructions, I can help take care of aquatic, avian, reptile, or other exotic friends as well! Please feel free to reach out and see if I’m the right pet/plant/house sitter for you! Thanks for checking out my profile, I hope to talk soon! ☺️🐱🐶🐠🦜 I can accommodate staying in with your pet(s) or having them stay with me. I work nights on Sundays and Tuesdays from 7p-7a. On those nights, I am not available. I treat house and pet sitting like my own life. I clean after myself and the pets. I tend to plant life and get the mail; general daily duties. All other chores I consider upon request.
About: I have worked in a dog kennel as well as volunteered for multiple years!!! I have dealt with a variety of animals in their own homes as well as mine, and have raised my own dog as well!! I currently work part time with very few hours, so I am always openly available for your animal!!! I make it a priority to keep your animal feeling safe and happy just as they would be with you! I can easily crate your dog if needed and live somewhere with a large yard for playing and keeping them entertained!! I also have plenty of space and things for them to do!!
About: I’ve been around animals, especially dogs, my whole life! Caring for my family dog from puppyhood to senior years has been one of the greatest joys. I’ve looked after many dogs and loved every moment of it so much so that I recently got my own dog, Barnes. He is almost three years old. I'm excited to apply what I've learned with yours too! I'm currently in graduate school at IU so I have lots of flexibility, especially on mornings, at lunchtime, during the afternoon, nights, and weekends. I'm very flexible so don't hesitate to reach out! I care for your pet as if they were my own. I have a Goldendoodle, Barnes and I know the importance of having someone you can trust and rely on to care for your pet.

“Nora is great. Kia is an older dog and set in her ways. Nora was so patient with her and took top notch care of her. I got daily updates. Kia wouldn’t eat for the first couple of days and Nora found a solution to get her to eat. Your dog is in good hands with Nora.”
“Tawny was super awesome. I felt 100% about leaving Nisa with her. I always got a sweet picture and update at the end of the day and knew Nisa was happy at Tawny’s doggie paradise.”
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”

Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”
About: I’ve pet sat since age 10, having 3 dogs of my own growing up. I have pet sit for neighbors, friends, and family through the years Im a student, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m a student athlete at IU, and an animal behavior major. Feel free to reach out about scheduling!

“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I’m currently a student at Indiana University and I am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and I have had a dog my whole life and have dog sat and dog walked for many friends and family members.
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
