“Soul loved staying with this family. After they dropped him off, he went back searching for them to get another chance to play with her kids. Pick up and drop off were so smooth and I loved the picture she sent me of my puppy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Carrie was wonderful! We did a meet and greet and then brought our little pup over for one night. He had a lot of fun with the other little dogs and got to spend time playing in the backyard. Very happy as this is our first time using Rover and having someone else watch Rafa. She sent picture which put us at ease. Will definitely book Carrie again!”
“Mikey's stay with Lynelle was excellent. He is older and needs that extra attention from an in home experience. Lynelle updated me with a photo to let me know everything was going well. I was only visiting the area from out of state but I would book future daycare and overnight stays with Lynelle if I lived in the area. Highly recommended.”
“Sherri and Lee were outstanding with our senior dog, Daniel. They were so welcoming and compassionate. They take very good care of you and your fur baby. I would definitely recommend her and Lee. I was a first time user of Rover Sherri sent pictures and updates. It was the best experience for all of us! Thank you so much!! WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING! 🐶💜”

“Buddy was boarded with Emily for a few days and she did a great job, as always! Lots of pictures of Buddy over the weekend and I didn’t have to worry at all! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have owned and cared for numerous pets throughout my entire life. We currently own 2 dogs. I have experience with puppies through adult dogs. My preference for overnights and boarding are on the weekends (until May), but I am available for walks and drop in visits almost any day of the week. I enjoy all aspects of pet care and treat animals like family. Whether your dog needs a potty break or extra snuggle time if you're out of town, I'm there!
About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve personally raised and trained three of my own and love dogs of every breed, size, and personality. I’m confident giving commands, going on safe, controlled walks, and caring for pets in a way that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve hosted dogs in my home as part of the family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they’d normally relax at home. If your dog is crate trained, that’s totally fine too! I’ve successfully trained using crates and will follow whatever routine helps your pup feel secure. Dogs are truly your best friend, always there to comfort you, make you smile, and love you unconditionally. They bring so much joy and deserve all the love and affection in return. That’s exactly how I care for every dog I meet. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, you can count on me to give your dog the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work part-time and have a solid routine in place for my own fur babies at home. Mornings usually start with a potty break or walk if needed, followed by breakfast and a quick house check to make sure everything’s safe and tidy before I head out. I often come home on my lunch breaks to let the dogs out again, and I’m usually home between 4 and 5 in the afternoon for another potty break, dinner, and some relaxing downtime together. I’m flexible with feeding and walk times and can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy walks and love including them as part of my daily routine! Since I have two dogs of my own, I don’t offer overnight house sitting away from my home, but I’m happy to do drop-in visits and spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I can come by for walks, playtime with their favorite toy or ball, or even practice basic commands using training treats or a clicker. I can also host them at my house for a stay! When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated just like family, loved, cared for, and included in daily life. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for running and playing. I do my best to follow the same routines and training methods you use at home, so your pet feels comfortable and confident while in my care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and sense of routine always come first!
“I’ve used a lot of sitters here on Rover, and Jason is the best by a long shot! His love for animals shows in how well he takes care of them; my anxious girl LOVES Jason and knows she’s going to have a fun day every time she sees him. He’s a great communicator, and will always act in the best interest of your pet. Not to mention, I’ve gotten some of the best quality photos of my pretty girl from Jason!”
“Surama took great care of my dogs while I was away on a family vacation. Poppy and Rem came home tired and happy! She was flexible with pickup times when my flight home got delayed. I'll be booking with Surama again in the future! You can't beat tired and happy dogs!”
“Marissa and her husband were so great with our high-energy pups! Her dog Dewey is sweet and playful with other dogs, and they came home exhausted. They had a clean, safe home and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Hojoo and her family were so sweet! I am so glad I chose them. Her profile was exactly what I needed for my fur baby for a quick business trip. She treated Tito like family and he didn’t want to leave! So happy to have him make new friends!”
About: I have taken care of my parents senior dog in my home while they were out of town. Helped a former coworker with her dog, also in my home, while she was out of town. I have helped a friend of mine with their senior dog + 4 cats in their home as drop in visits while they were out of town. Since starting Rover, I have had multiple in home stays with dogs, and homes that have both dogs and cats. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. My morning routine includes leaving the house by 7:00 AM to take my child to daycare or school. Before departing, all pets in my care are taken outside, fed, and provided with any necessary medications. Depending on the proximity of your home, I may be available to stop by during my lunch break to check on and care for your pet. After work, I pick up my child from daycare and can typically arrive at your home around 5:00 PM. Upon arrival, dogs will be taken outside promptly and fed as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific care needs or scheduling. I care for pets with the same level of attention and compassion as I do my own. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and administer any required medications as directed. Dogs are taken outside regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise, and I make time to play and engage with them to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes in addition to providing consistent feeding, fresh water, and attentive care. I also enjoy offering treats when permitted; my daughter especially loves helping to give treats, making it a fun and positive experience for your pet.
“Lucas proved to be an excellent choice for keeping my playful dog for a week. He's caring, responsible, friendly and very good at keeping the doggo happy. I was impressed by how good he handled everything, even keeping me updated on how she was with adorable photos. I'll definitely be giving Lucas a shout next time I'm in Decatur with Bosco.”
“The most amazing sitter ever! Alana was flexible with the dates and able to change last minute. She took such good care of my dog, sent pictures all the time, and updated me with everything. He was so so happy staying with her & had the best time! Can not say how much I recommend Alana!!”
About: I have had animals all of my life and have cared for them immensely. My family and friends say I have a special way with animals. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for almost 2 years and got lots of experience caring for dogs there as well as opportunities to sit outside of it which has become a huge part of my life. I have knowledge and experience on all sorts of problems that may arise in both cats and dogs including cpr. I am currently a full-time purdue student who takes most classes online so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I love going on walks so you can guarantee your fur baby will get some long peaceful and smellful walks! So far I have done both in-home and in my home. I make sure to have a specific wake up sleep schedule so my animals and the ones I have watched have a routine and care. As I mentioned before I love walks… so walks are guaranteed! In the clients home I make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to the pet as I would my own or in my own home!
“Wonderful! Megan was awesome. I felt at such ease leaving my fur baby with her. I got a quick response anytime I wanted an update. Nova came home very happy and tired from her stay.”

“Nikie took fantastic care of our cats while we were out of town. She was extremely professional and organized and left great messages with photos. I will absolutely request Nikie again!”

About: I have had my own pets, cats and dogs, since I was very young and I have watched my family and friends animals for about 2 years now. They can rely on me to care for their animals when they are away from home for short or long periods of time. I take caring for others animals very seriously, and having a dog of my own, I understand how crucial it is to care for every one like your own. I graduated college in May 2026 and I am attending grad school starting Septemebr 2026. Between May and September I have full availability to care for pets, with no other commitments at this time. I have a big yard at my home, in the country where my dog roams. I always watch her because we do not have a fence, but sometimes we put her on a long leash to where she can run just as far as we would like. I am comfortable with leashing dogs. I have a cat that I adopted from the shelter as well. She was pregnant unexpectedly when I got her, so I helped her through prengancy, give birth, and now I have cared for the kittens as they are growing up and weaning off of their mom. I can also put the animal in a kennel if needed. Whatever is needed, I can make it possible!
“Katelyn did wonderfully watching our cat while we were gone! We so appreciated the frequent updates, her communication when she needed clarification on instructions I left, and ESPECIALLY her flexibility when we had to be gone longer than expected. She was happy to schedule more visits and work with our travel schedule. Highly recommend, and my kitty clearly loved the time she devoted to cuddles!”
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for cats ever since I was young. I now own 2 of the sweetest most perfect kitties in the world and wouldn’t ask for anything else. I have been helping a family friend cat sit for about 2-3 years now including taking care of her outdoor cats!
“Marissa was just phenomenal for us!! We couldn’t recommend her more. From a great meet and greet to fantastic visits, we couldn’t be happier. We asked her to look after our cat, and it turned out to not be as easy as it sounds! The first day we found out she had been locked out, so the second vist she met with a locksmith who took a while to get there. She had lots of patience and was worried about our cat! I feel very grateful we had her watching our cat’”
“Beth was awesome. She met with us and our cats on short notice before our trip and took lots of photos every day petting and playing with our boys (and giving them treats!). She was quick to reply as well and our cats really seemed to like her. The morning after her last visit (the day we were coming home) I checked my living room camera and saw one of my cats waiting by the door for her, so I knew we hired the right person.”
About: I've been caring for cats for over 10 years, beginning with pet sitting for neighbors and family friends at age 10. I have experience with cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every cat is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level. Whether your cat loves playtime and attention or prefers a quieter approach, I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs and understand the importance of careful observation, reliability, and communication. I'm always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away from home.

“Meg was absolutely fantastic and a life saver. Coming from Chicago, We got last minute tickets to the IU/Purdue game and were then headed to Indy to see family after. Needed somewhere to put the doggy for 3-4 hours. Even though she already had 2 dogs to watch, she accommodated us with essentially a couple hours notice and took great care of tyko. Thank you so much!”

Since starting Rover, I have had multiple in home stays with dogs, and homes that have both dogs and cats. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. My morning routine includes leaving the house by 7:00 AM to take my child to daycare or school. Before departing, all pets in my care are taken outside, fed, and provided with any necessary medications. Depending on the proximity of your home, I may be available to stop by during my lunch break to check on and care for your pet. After work, I pick up my child from daycare and can typically arrive at your home around 5:00 PM. Upon arrival, dogs will be taken outside promptly and fed as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific care needs or scheduling. I care for pets with the same level of attention and compassion as I do my own. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and administer any required medications as directed. Dogs are taken outside regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise, and I make time to play and engage with them to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes in addition to providing consistent feeding, fresh water, and attentive care. I also enjoy offering treats when permitted; my daughter especially loves helping to give treats, making it a fun and positive experience for your pet.
“Lucas proved to be an excellent choice for keeping my playful dog for a week. He's caring, responsible, friendly and very good at keeping the doggo happy. I was impressed by how good he handled everything, even keeping me updated on how she was with adorable photos. I'll definitely be giving Lucas a shout next time I'm in Decatur with Bosco.”
“The most amazing sitter ever! Alana was flexible with the dates and able to change last minute. She took such good care of my dog, sent pictures all the time, and updated me with everything. He was so so happy staying with her & had the best time! Can not say how much I recommend Alana!!”
About: I have had animals all of my life and have cared for them immensely. My family and friends say I have a special way with animals. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for almost 2 years and got lots of experience caring for dogs there as well as opportunities to sit outside of it which has become a huge part of my life. I have knowledge and experience on all sorts of problems that may arise in both cats and dogs including cpr. I am currently a full-time purdue student who takes most classes online so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I love going on walks so you can guarantee your fur baby will get some long peaceful and smellful walks! So far I have done both in-home and in my home. I make sure to have a specific wake up sleep schedule so my animals and the ones I have watched have a routine and care. As I mentioned before I love walks… so walks are guaranteed! In the clients home I make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to the pet as I would my own or in my own home!
“Wonderful! Megan was awesome. I felt at such ease leaving my fur baby with her. I got a quick response anytime I wanted an update. Nova came home very happy and tired from her stay.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits. I’m currently working in the mornings until 2-4 pm and would love to spend my evenings crying for dogs who are I need. I am available during late hours during the weekdays and weekends. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. During walks and visits, I keep pets secure, use proper leash handling, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.
“I am so incredibly appreciative of Tarren. I had a family emergency that required me to need to leave town the very next day. Tarren was so understanding and took such care of my boy. She was very thorough in her care-related questions and sent pictures while I was away. My little guy came home a happy pup! Thank you thank you thank you ♥️”
“Really good! My dog stayed with Jessica and her family for 3 weeks, in which there were no problems at all and my dog had a lot of fun. She gave updates and contacted me about any decisions that they were going to make regarding my dogs care. Definitely will be contacting her again if I need to go away again.”
About: Me and my husband moved to the U.S ten months ago from Sweden. I had a French bulldogg in sweden and miss him horribly. I have a soft spot for bulldoggs in general. But I love all animals and dogs. If you need help with walks or some nigths/days I'm here to help. If you need day or night sitting in the weekend I'm flexible with the hours. I can only do walks on evenings in the week, but all day ln weekends. I can not do dog boarding because the owner of the house dont permit diffrent dogs in the house. But i can petsit in your home.
