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!
“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.”
“Thank you so much for allowing Loki to stay with you! He had a great time! Especially for sending updates, pics and reassuring that he's doing well. First thing he did when we got home is fall asleep. He was so chill. Lol! I will definitely reach out next time!”
“Izzy stayed with Sherri for 6 nights while I was away on a trip. Sherri was kind enough to meet beforehand and introduce us to her family. She was patient with Izzy’s quirks and kept me updated on her well-being while I was away. We will definitely be returning customers!”
“She is amazing pet sitter! Her husband and two daughters, too! This is my first time using the Rover app, so I was concerned, but I was very lucky to find her! Thank you so much Okhyung!”
“Carrie is a great dog sitter. She is my "go to" person after struggling for some time to find a reliable and trustworthy sitter in the area. Mr. Barkeley and Willie Mae enjoy their time in Carrie's home. She regularly texts me pictures and updates while I'm away--which is comforting. I highly recommend her!”
“Megan was wonderful - met up with us in advance for a meet and greet, shared regular updates and pictures of Bella, and took overall good care of her, including when she got anxious and sick. She is punctual and conscientious. Megan also offers pick up and drop off, which is so convenient. I would greatly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Tarren was great with our dog. She sent updates and pictures that we greatly appreciated! This was our first time using her and we would definitely recommend her to others and use her again!”
“Paul was able and willing to sit for Micah on Christmas. Micah actually whined when Paul dropped him off and watched him leave. He really likes him! He is dedicated and loyal.”
“Audrey was great! She kept us updated throughout our Poodle's stay at her house. Audrey made sure we felt comfortable and reassured. She sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. Audrey's home is clean and pet-friendly, and it's clear she loves animals. We will be booking with Audrey again in the future. We recommend her services!”
“This was our dogs' first stay with anyone new. They were both anxious & kept peeing & pooping in Surama's home because of it, even though she was taking them out very often. Surama was very patient with them & made their stay a good one regardless. We didn't anticipate this issue & felt terrible about her having to deal with cleaning so many messes. I appreciated that she was open & honest about what was happening, while assuring me it was fine & in no way causing us to feel worse about it. She also sent pictures of them playing with her family & other dogs, which my daughter especially appreciated. Surama was so kind & we will definitely use her in the future.😊👍”
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!
“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.”

“Carissa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was away for the weekend. She was great with messaging me about potential issues and made sure my apartment stayed in the same condition I left it. I’m so appreciative for Carissa’s help!”
“Mariana did a great job caring for Cosmo - taking him out for walks and to do his business. She also made sure he got his meds and followed up and got our house key back to us in a timely fashion.”
“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!”
“Kara was amazing with our kitties! She offered to come over before we left to get the lay of the land and meet our cats, and then on every visit went above and beyond to send photos, provide updates, and let us know everybody was doing great. Communication was simple and straightforward and she was a joy to work with. I’ll definitely keep her on our shortlist for our next trip out of town!”
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!

I can care for pets by following their normal routines, provide plenty of attention, engaging in their regular exercise, and help keep pets comfortable in their own homes and providing feedings.
“Our beloved but skittish orange tabby was in great hands with Beth while we were away! She took the time to make sure she saw our cat every day even though she has a tendency to hide. Beth is such a great sitter, will definitely use again!!”
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats from all age ranges. I love animals, and I have been animal-sitting since I was around 12 years old, for about 7 years. The biggest skills I have are being able to spend extra time with the animals to make them feel loved while you are away. I am currently working part-time and attending school part-time during the summer. I am very available to take care of your animals during the morning, day, and evening. I like to spend between 15 and 30 minutes with the animals between visits to make them feel loved, so they are less stressed. I make sure they are well fed and exercised daily and are enjoying their time while you are away.
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.

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!

“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!”
“Emily was beyond amazing with my little Frenchie! Our family is going through a loss and we needed a sitter for our first puppy. She reassured me that Millie would be in good hands, sent me plenty of pictures and definitely helped my anxiety by knowing she was being well taken care of.Emily exceeded my expectations and honestly probably won’t let anyone else but her watch my baby girl. Thank you so much Emily! ?”
About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.

“Jo and Jess are great dog sitters! They watched my small dog, Coconut, for one day of daycare and I plan on utilizing their services again. Jo is clearly great with dogs; my pup warmed up to her almost instantly and their personal dog, Ruby, is exceptionally well-trained and friendly with both people and other dogs. I would definitely recommend Jo and Jess!”
About: Hi! I am a first year veterinary medicine student and have experience with a variety of different animals. I have worked as a veterinary technician, so I have been trained in first aid, as well as oral and injectable medication administration. I can accommodate pets of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions. I have experience working with shelter animals, and have also worked for three years training, caring for, and socializing puppies. This has provided me with the experience and knowledge to care for a variety of animals, including pets with special needs and those with reactivity and/or anxiety. Their comfort is my biggest priority, so I’m more than happy to accommodate any special requests! I am an experienced incoming veterinary student and devote my summers to pet sitting and care, so I am very flexible in terms of scheduling and accommodating your pet! I grew up with a pup who required special attention for his anxiety, so I have endless patience and experience with dogs who need a more quiet, patient approach! I also have experience walking very large, reactive, and/or high energy type dogs through my volunteering at the humane society.
About: Ever since I was a little girl we have always had a dog in the house so, when I turned 18 I adopted one of my own but after 16 1/2 years of loving her, I had to say good bye. Thus, sparked my motivation to help others care for and love their pet(s) when they’re in need. I have experience with puppys, potty training, leash & clicker training among other things! I love to execute play time and know the importance of expending energy. The dogs I have trained are very well mannered and learn to behave well around people and other pets & listen to commands. My friends rely on me often to dog-sit and I’ll often care for & hang out with their pets while they’re at work or out of town. I have experience administering medicine and taking care of them when they’re sick or recovering from surgery as well. I work from home and this leaves me with plenty of time to take care of your pet and expend their energy with play time and walks. Please let me know if there are any commands or tricks you are working on so that I can do the same. I am available for boarding and house-sitting during the week and during weekends. I do not currently have any pets so my attention will be focused on yours solely! Living so close to Sloans lake and various dog parks means that your pup(s) are getting great exercise and outdoor time (unless it’s too hot or cold for them). When it is too warm to be outside for too long I am making sure your pet(s) are staying hydrated and we stay active inside playing fetch, tug, and other fun games!
About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years. I graduated high school in 2024 and during high school I volunteered many hours at the Clinton County Humane Society. In June of 2024 I started pet sitting for local families. Since then I have helped take care of many families furry friends including common house pets such as Dogs, Cats, and even Kinkajous! I am currently trying to branch out and make pet care my main job. Which means my availability is usually always open! Don’t be scared to reach out and ask! BOARDING IN MY HOME: I live with my parents out in the country with two dogs in my home and one cat. I have several rooms, gates, and crates that can be used so my pets never come in contact with yours if that is preferred! There are 9 acres of total land for plenty of exercise, 2 of those acres are fenced off and occupied by two friendly dairy goats and chickens! While you go on vacation so will your furry friend/s !

I’m also very close to many running trails and a nature area, great for long walks with lots of things to sniff!

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.

“Audrey was great! She kept us updated throughout our Poodle's stay at her house. Audrey made sure we felt comfortable and reassured. She sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. Audrey's home is clean and pet-friendly, and it's clear she loves animals. We will be booking with Audrey again in the future. We recommend her services!”
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.
“This was our dogs' first stay with anyone new. They were both anxious & kept peeing & pooping in Surama's home because of it, even though she was taking them out very often. Surama was very patient with them & made their stay a good one regardless. We didn't anticipate this issue & felt terrible about her having to deal with cleaning so many messes. I appreciated that she was open & honest about what was happening, while assuring me it was fine & in no way causing us to feel worse about it. She also sent pictures of them playing with her family & other dogs, which my daughter especially appreciated. Surama was so kind & we will definitely use her in the future.😊👍”
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!
“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.”
“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.”
“Lauren was responsive, very friendly and easy to set up boarding arrangements with for our first reservation. Our dog was well taken care of and I recommend Lauren. She sent a few updates with photos, which was nice too.”
About: I have taken care of all ages of animals and all sizes. I have cared for diabetic pets, blind pets, and medicated pets. I am ready to take care of anything! I do not currently have a job, so I am willing to work whenever and wherever! If this ever changes I will make sure to change my availability etc! I try to make sure I know where the pet is at all times, or what the pet is doing. The last thing I want is to lose sight of an animal and put them in danger!
