Amazing sitter! Our puppy loved her, and she was great to update us with pics of him enjoying his "vacation". Will definitely be using her for all our trips moving forward. Knowing he was taken care of and she was sticking to his at home schedule, allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. Thank you so much!

This is my first time using Rover or any pet service. We met Cathy with my dog Jenni ahead of her stay-over which made it a familiar experience when she went for boarding. Cathy is very caring and great with animals and I have already scheduled another stay for my dog with her for a work trip. Thank you!

About: I've been taking care of dogs & cats my entire life. I have experience as a vet assistant. Animals are my passion and not only do I love providing a loving home for my animals but I also know how hard it is to balance work and life in general when you have pets so I want to be able to care and help you with your fur babies as well! I'm currently only working part time so I have a lot of free time to care for your fur babies ! My schedule is pretty open so on my days off I can take last minute requests . I also enjoy being outdoors even if it's just sitting in the backyard with the dogs I have a fenced in yard with a loving yellow Labrador ! Your pup will have fun and will stay safe with plenty of exercise! I do not go on walks without a leash or without your consent.

Nancy and Mark are such a God sent help for us! They did everything possible to help us feel comfortable leaving Champ while we went out of town for our Anniversary. They updated in such a timely manner it put us at ease constantly. Champ has seizures and liver problems so he is on meds and they were very concerned about giving it at the right time! I will be using them again! Champ loved being there! If you want your dog cared for right don’t look any farther! Thanks again Nancy and Mark!

Alisha was great with our 7 yr old coonhound, Beau!! Highly recommend. We had a situation where we needed to book an overnight boarding last minute and she was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our pup got along great with her and her pets. We could tell he was very comfortable there. She kept us updated throughout his visit, which is always greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely be rebooking when in the area :) thanks Alisha!!

Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.

We have FINALLY found the PERFECT fur baby sitter. Judy and her husband Bob cared for our mini schnauzer Jasper with such warmth and kindness that it was truly like he was their own. Their experience of loving their own pups in the past was evident from the get go. We can’t sing their praises loud enough. Jasper didn’t come home stressed or exhausted. He was GENUINELY happy while with Judy and Bob. We knew he was safe, comfortable and in good hands. Please don’t hesitate if considering booking a stay for your pet with such a loving, kind couple. We will definitely be rebooking again and again. Thank you Judy & Bob!

My little Delilah felt right at home when we had our Meet and Greet. I had no concerns about leaving her with Madelyn after that. She was still excited to see me when I picked her up, but not so excited that I worried she wanted to leave and had a bad time. I have no doubts that Delilah was well cared for while I was away!!

My dog has horrible separation anxiety so I dread trips away from home. Using the warm and cozy home of Janis and Devin was the perfect solution. I received multiple pictures every day. I could tell my dog was happy and feeling a part of the family. When I picked him up he was not crazed and inconsolable. He also has not been extra anxious at home as he usually gets. I will use Janis and Devin again and again. I have the highest esteem and praise for their business. I HIGHLY recommend!

Laylani came to us at a very difficult time. We had taken in a kitten unexpectedly that was very, very ill. We had a trip scheduled that we could not cancel, and the kitten needed daily feedings and medications. Laylani came every day at the same time to administer the medications and feed her. We are happy to say that the kitten is well on her way to being completely recovered. This would not have possible without her hard work. I gave her five stars because that's all the system allows, but there's not enough stars in heavens to show how much we appreciated the work that she did. If you need someone who is responsible and hardworking to care for your pet you can't do better than Laylani.

About: Hi! I’m a dogaholic. I have experience taking care of labs, great danes, staffordshire terriers, and my personal favorite: GOLDEN RETRIEVERS! My walks give dogs the structure and clarity they need to live better lives and lead to a better relationship between dog and owner. Let’s talk! I work at Chipotle in Portage but typically that doesn’t interfere with dog walking and visits. Contact me today for specifics and we can get you booked asap! Safety is my #1 priority. I am pet CPR certified, which I think all pet owners should consider getting (it’s a $25 course y’all!). Especially those with larger breeds, which are more susceptible to heart attacks. Know the signs of heart attacks, dehydration, and heat exhaustion. Finally, I ask all my new dog-owners if there is any medical history, allergies, disabilities, or medication I need to be aware of before caring for that animal.

Allie was wonderful with my dogs and put me at ease. It is so hard to find a trustworthy and reliable human that you trust to take care of your beloved dogs. She was timely, sent pictures, and our golden girls really adored her! To top it off, she washed my dog's bowls after their lunch! That was so unexpected, but it was sweet surprise to come home to clean bowls. She definitely goes the extra mile. I would definitely use Allie again, ven for overnight pet sitting while we are out of town.

I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats feel relaxed and safe while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some want attention and playtime, while others just want a calm presence—and I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. My goal is always to make sure pets are well cared for and stress-free until their owners return

About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.

It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.

Angela was super nice and welcomed Benny in like her own. He seemed super happy when I picked him up! He usually gets anxiety when he is separated from me and tends to act out the rest of the day, but he has been his normal self all day since I picked him up from her! She took him for multiple walks and let him get lots of energy out! 5 stars and I will definitely be using Angela again!

Marshmallow had a WONDERFUL first experience at Nancy & Mark’s Day Care! Sooo wonderful she’s scheduled for future Day Care dates as well as an upcoming Boarding weekend. I couldn’t be happier to have found a place, close to home, where my sweet, but scared and anxious, rescue is FINALLY comfortable other than with me!! Due to past trauma, Marshmallow suffers from SEVERE separation anxiety and can be fearful around large dogs, thus the fact that there is always a person present as well as the laid back and comfortable environment provided by Nancy & Mark was ABSOLUTELY perfect to calm ALL Marshmallow and Mommy’s concerns!! I was sent pictures, a video and updates throughout her stay. We truly feel blessed to have found such a GREAT fit!!!

About: Your sweeties are in caring hands 💛 ✅ Experience with pets of all ages & personalities. ✅ Work from home: Attentive to strict care plan. ✅ Happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years. Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also cared for exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, ferrets, parakeets, Sun Conure Parrots and farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting”)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. Working from home allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules (if your pet is in need of a regimented care plan). I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking boarding services with new clients, I request a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!

About: I have experience caring for all types of animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, etc. You name it, I can care for it! Whatever your needs may be, your pets will be in great hands! I plan to devote all of my time and effort into ensuring your animals get all of their needs met, whether you have a high energy pup who needs lots of stimulation or just a chill baby who wants to cuddle on the couch. I have a fenced-in backyard and a friendly dog to keep yours company! I can also easily provide crate training if necessary or requested. I have 3 cats who are very used to all other animals but can easily be put up if your animal doesn't like cats. Whether I watch your animals at my house or yours, I simply ask for a detailed list of everything you want/need done, specifically if they have any special needs.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

About: Hello, thank you for taking the time to read introduction in its entirety ! - To start I took care of and was responsible for my dad’s golden retriever for 7 years while my dad battled kidney disease. I also grew up around our family Westie & German Shepard in my home that were super attached to me. So I am very attentive to a dogs need for love and care when away from the owner. Also first time guests and last minute requests must schedule a meet and greet I use to be flexible with this but situations have happened that caused me no longer be flexible. In addition I do not accept any pets without a safe reliable comfortable crate. As I do not allow free roaming in my home when I am not present. Your pet safety is my top priority. Being in a new environment for the first time pets will be pets. They aren’t perfect. Feel free to ask me any questions if need be. **(For example old pictures of pet only to arrive and they are 3 times the size) - 100% we have to have a meet n greet prior to sitting. Returning customers the meet and greet does not apply. For last minute requests please contact me directly I will try my best to accommodate but please be advised there may be a fee associated depending on the circumstance. Especially if there is no time to set up a meet n greet and I’m only going off photos. If you have any questions please set up a time with me to hop on a call using the rover app. Please note, sending me a message on the rover app at any point inquiring if I’m available to babysit your pet, means you have read my entire introduction page in its entirety and you are comfortable with understanding last minute bookings or no meet greets may have a fee associated if you choose to let me babysit your pet. I try to work with my clients especially if they are first time customers. Typically what ever the initial subtotal is when you book with me is what will be my fee that I would want to receive through rover. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I hope to hear from you soon. I will use my time to make sure your dog is loved and cared for the way you express to be done. I’m happy to send updates throughout the day/night & available for FaceTime video calls for you to check on your dog! I’m happy to show you my backyard area with pictures or video at your convenience. I can easily crate Your dog if you have a crate which is preferable especially if this is your first time booking with me and I never met your dog before.

About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.

About: I’ve lived with a dog in my household for a large portion my life, first with our rat terrier rescue when I was growing up, and then with my college roommate’s Australian shepherd that we raised from a puppy. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I occasionally help care for friends pets and genuinely enjoy the opportunity to live vicariously through taking care of other people’s pets. I am self-employed and set my own schedule. My weekdays and weekends are both very open and flexible for walks, potty breaks, and play time. I like to have a detailed orientation to a pet’s environment and routine, as well as written instructions for care. The more I can get to know you and your pet(s), the smoother the process will be for everyone!

About: Reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, parrots, and other animals. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including energetic dogs, large breeds, shy pets, and animals needing extra patience and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and consistent routines to help pets feel secure while you’re away. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide frequent updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind throughout each booking. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling when possible, and committed to treating every pet like family. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have flexible availability for pet care in my home and can provide attentive care, companionship, playtime, walks, and regular routines throughout the day. For clients needing drop-in visits or walks at their home, I’m most available during morning hours before 11 AM. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping pet owners updated with regular communication and photos. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their routine, personality, and comfort level. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I try to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while away from home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, litter box or potty care, and regular updates with photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. I understand that every animal has different needs and energy levels, so I always aim to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet.

About: Hi there! I worked as kennel staff at an animal hospital for over a year before I moved to Nevada, and then I worked at both and animal hospital and a grooming salon during the two years I lived there! (I have since returned to Northwest Indiana!) I took care of both cats and dogs(of all breeds and disabilities) and helped medicate and treat them! I have owned pets all my life, both cats and dogs, and have been their primary caretakers. I am heavily passionate about animals! I currently have two dogs and four cats. I am 23 and have a driver's license. I love animals more than anything, and would do whatever it takes to make your pets feel happy and safe in my company! I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of other people's pets! I live in a household with other people, so I'm more than able to housesit, as well! I love to keep animals company, and I will do whatever I'm asked to do to take care of someone's pet. If said pet is undergoing training of any sort, I'm willing to make sure that training is implemented throughout the visit, walk, or stay. I absolutely love giving furbabies my attention and love, but will go at the pets pace. I won't force my affections on an anxious animal.

About: Hi! I’m a dogaholic. I have experience taking care of labs, great danes, staffordshire terriers, and my personal favorite: GOLDEN RETRIEVERS! My walks give dogs the structure and clarity they need to live better lives and lead to a better relationship between dog and owner. Let’s talk! I work at Chipotle in Portage but typically that doesn’t interfere with dog walking and visits. Contact me today for specifics and we can get you booked asap! Safety is my #1 priority. I am pet CPR certified, which I think all pet owners should consider getting (it’s a $25 course y’all!). Especially those with larger breeds, which are more susceptible to heart attacks. Know the signs of heart attacks, dehydration, and heat exhaustion. Finally, I ask all my new dog-owners if there is any medical history, allergies, disabilities, or medication I need to be aware of before caring for that animal.

About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!

My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence).

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Leonbergers, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are gone. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and making sure pets get attention and playtime while their owners are away. I always try to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine and environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, or anything specific the pet needs. I’m patient with animals and make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their family is gone.

She is awesome!! Very punctual, professional and kind. My puppy warmed up to her really quick. So much that she will definitely be missed. I do recommend her, and Yes we will be using her services again if she's available. 🙂

Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

This is my first time using Rover or any pet service. We met Cathy with my dog Jenni ahead of her stay-over which made it a familiar experience when she went for boarding. Cathy is very caring and great with animals and I have already scheduled another stay for my dog with her for a work trip. Thank you!

Alisha was great with our 7 yr old coonhound, Beau!! Highly recommend. We had a situation where we needed to book an overnight boarding last minute and she was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our pup got along great with her and her pets. We could tell he was very comfortable there. She kept us updated throughout his visit, which is always greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely be rebooking when in the area :) thanks Alisha!!

Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.

About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.

About: I've always had pets. I've had a dog every year of my life since I was born. I love their different personalities, breeds and interactions. I currently have 3 of my own, Bentley, Bailey and Scooby-Doo. Each of them is different from the other and I wouldn't change any of them. I am available currently Friday-Sunday. I have pets of my own and we play and exercise together. I love animals so much, I enjoy helping and playing with others. I have a small fenced in area for little dogs, which is where all 3 dogs of mine are. All 3 are playful and friendly.

Daryl boarded our dog from the 23rd through the 24th and she was amazing! Our dog is, for the most part, very high maintenance and craves personalized attention and that is what he got for two days being with Daryl. We had looked at other boarders, ones with other dogs, ones with various other animal types, kids etc... and just watching Chief interact with Daryl was incredible. He immediately took to her and to the environment, was playing, jumping and even napping almost right away. We were sent photos consistently while we were away and just seeing him happy and playful and even how tired he was was a wonderful sight. We would definitely recommend anyone who is looking to have their dog boarded to consider Daryl, especially if they require more personal attention. She did great!!

Kassia is an excellent pet caregiver. Our goldendoodle, Sherby, is very attached to living with a family, and we were so relieved to have him stay in Kassia’s caring home while we were out of town. Already looking to book Kassia for our next vacation this summer.
