About: Since I was 14, I’ve been responsible for taking care of my own dogs and those of my neighbors, family, and friends. I come from a large dog family, from a Great Pyrenees to Labs and German Shepherds, but I’ve also been able to care for smaller dogs in my neighborhood. I’ve also cared for sensitive and reactive dogs who came from hard backgrounds, so I have experience taking it slow to build trust. I also care for cats as well, with experience from my own 13 year old orange cat and my mom’s two crazy kittens. Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing tug of war, giving them meds, or just keeping them company, I love any time I get to spend with fur babies. I’m preparing to leave for a scholarship in Poland at the end of September after graduating with my Master’s degree in May, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am free most days and times with the exception of a few days with prior commitments throughout the summer. I strive to provide the best care with the utmost respect for you and your fur baby’s home. If there’s anything I should know about your pet’s care preferences or any neighborhood/environmental concerns, please let me know so that I may keep your pet safe at all times. I have experience with fenced in yards and open areas, as well as plenty of experience with flight risk dogs (those German Shepherds love to run!) and returning them safely home. My goal is to keep your pet and place safe and clean until you return home.
About: With a background as a Veterinary Tech and a lifetime of personal experience, I offer expert care tailored to your cat's unique personality. Whether your feline friend is a social butterfly who needs non-stop play or a 'wallflower' who prefers quiet companionship from a distance, I excel at reading their cues and respecting their boundaries. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I am highly experienced in daily medication administration and understand the importance of maintaining a routine. I am well-versed in feline enrichment—from providing high-perch views to safe hiding spots—ensuring your cat feels secure, stimulated, and loved while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I love dogs and cats both and have 2 Australian Shepards of my own. Would love to help care for your furry family members. I am open Fridays and most weekend days. I am able to stop in to let out or walk your pet after 5:30 during the week as well. I personally have a fenced backyard and have two crate trained dogs so I am familiar with the process and always strive to keep pets safe.
About: I’ve lived with cats for as long as I can remember. I remember when I was about 10, I bought so many books about cats and decided they were my favorite animal. They are such interesting lil guys that have huge personalities. I love getting to know each individual kitty I meet. I have 7 cats of my own and I know that each one has a weird trait. One is picky about how deep the litter is, one is picky about which bowl she eats from, stuff like that
About: I’ve grown up with cats all my life and currently take care of two cats and two kittens. My care provides meals, training, play time, and cuddles! I have experience with both outgoing cats that need lots of attention and introverted cats that tend to like their alone time. Since my female cat had kittens, I also have experience of caring for small kittens as well!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for caring for animals. Beyond simply ensuring pets are fed and comfortable, I bring specialized skills like administering medications when needed and taking extra care with tasks like deep-cleaning litter boxes to maintain a healthy environment. Having grown up with cats and dogs, I understand their needs and quirks, and I truly enjoy going above and beyond to provide attentive, loving care for every pet as if they were my own.
About: Hi!! I’m a BIG animal lover and would love to care for your pets like they’re my own! I have experience with both house sitting and pet sitting, and I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and just about any animal you have. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also love keeping things clean and organized, so I’m always happy to tidy up your space too! I have a very friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m currently in school, but I’m very flexible and will always do my best to work around your needs and I’ll have even more availability during the summer! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m currently most available on weekends, but my schedule will open up more in about a month. I’m happy to be flexible when I can, so feel free to reach out and we can find something that works! I treat every pet like they’re my own! I keep a calm, clean, and safe space, and I make sure to follow their normal routines so they feel at home. They’ll get lots of love, attention, playtime, and care. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re always comfortable and happy.
About: I have taken care of animals for many years. Farm animals to reptiles have been in my scope of care. Pet First Aid Certified too. I am a school bus driver, so I'm out the door early, available 8:30-1:30 and then after 5:00. Evenings are fairly open as well. Thanks! I would like to have a consistent relationship with a pet that I would bring to my home. The pet would be on a leash ,until I was POSITIVE that the pet would stay with me.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pickard
About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone
“Dustin was great with Chip. I trusted him right away as Chip took to him the same. He sent plenty of photos and Chip came back from doggy daycare absolutely spent! What’s better than a tired dog?”
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
About: ABOUT ME: Completely insured WITH Animal Bailee Insurance and Vet Protection Coverage through PCI. I have been on and off Rover since I was in college and own my small business. I am a previous dog owner. My animals were not only my pets, but they were my family. I had my Labrador for 13 years and my Boxer mix for 15 years. We used to love to take long strolls around the neighborhood and visit our pals at the local dog park. We would cook dinner and lounge around watching our favorite flicks. We even took car rides around town when we got bored. Over the years, we went through everything from crazy puppy phases, to professional command/leash training, and experienced all medical scares (labs love to chew on EVERYTHING) under the sun. Maple was a diabetic for 7 years. I can assist with any type of need ranging from long walks, simple belly rubs, to training help. I am highly experienced in administering topical, oral and injectable medications, as well as eye and ear medications. My senior pets care needs helped build my knowledge in senior dogs. I am well educated on many types of medications and daily care pills. Whatever the need may be just ask me! EDUCATION: I am a graduate with my b.s. in buisness from Purdue. I currently am a stay at home mother, with much freedom to build my own schedule. Therefore I am always available for drop-ins and pup walks throughout the week and weekends. I am completely insured with $1M general liability, Animal Bailee Insurance, and Vet Protection Coverage. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own pets, like family. Play time, walks, relaxing on the couch, eating treats, you know... just hanging out.
“Our 10-month-old doodle, Ava, has gone to Veronika's home twice and both times have been a fantastic, non-stressful event for all of us. We could tell from our meet & greet that she really cares about the dogs she cares for; our pup felt comfortable with her very quickly. Veronika's communication and responsiveness is excellent and her flexibility in drop-off and pick-up times is really appreciated. She will care for Ava during our upcoming 9-day vacation and we aren't worried about leaving her one bit!”

“Katie was so easy to work with and Ruby was in really good hands. Ruby is a puppy and we're never sure how she'll react in new settings. She was immediately comfortable at Katie's and didn't even look back when we left. Katie will definitely be our "go-to sitter" next time we have a need.”
“Biscuit always loves to visit and since he varies in energy levels, I never know what type of day he'll bring when I drop him off, but she is so flexible and great with him!”
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom offering full-time, one-on-one care for your dog in a calm, loving home. I only board one family’s pet at a time, ensuring a peaceful, low-stress environment with truly individualized attention, no overcrowding, no chaos. Because I’m home all day, your pup will never be left alone or feel lonely. I provide constant supervision, affection, and care tailored to your dog’s personality, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, structured routines, or a quiet place to relax. We also have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and access to nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment, so your dog can stay active while still being in a secure environment. I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand how deeply they’re loved as family. I also hold a degree in Psychology from Florida State University, which gives me a strong understanding of behavior, emotional needs, and patience—helping me create a calm, reassuring environment for every dog. We recently said goodbye to our sweet dog who lived nearly 18 wonderful years. While we aren’t ready to welcome another of our own just yet, we have so much love to give. Caring for other dogs feels like a meaningful way to honor him while giving pet parents peace of mind that their dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for. I am home full-time as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I am available for boarding and daycare most weekdays and weekends with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. Because I only accept one family’s pet at a time, early booking is encouraged. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only care for one family’s pet at a time, which allows me to give your dog my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment.

I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care instructions. We have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. For dogs who enjoy walks, we also have a quiet neighborhood trail nearby, and I’m happy to include them in my regular 3-mile walks if appropriate. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home where your dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs for over 20 years and caring for pets has been part of my life since I was very young. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and different personalities and needs.

Your dog will enjoy daily walks, playtime, attention, and a family-friendly home environment. I also have a fully fenced backyard that is maintained without toxic sprays, so your fur baby can safely explore and play. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom and this allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I care for pets as if they were my own while following their normal routine and owner preferences. At my home, pets enjoy a safe environment with a fully fenced backyard and regular supervision since I’m home most of the day.

“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a love for animals. I’d be happy to provide the care, attention, and companionship your pets deserve while you’re away.

About: My furry family has been growing since 2017. We have rescued, puppy trained, and kitten trained and are up to 3 four legged friends in our home! We fostered animals from our local shelter for about a year during covid, however, we failed as foster parents and ended up adopting a kitten from one of our litters. There are more animals in our house then humans and we wouldn't have it any other way! My husband and I currently work from home so are available for walking/check ins whenever you need! I'm currently working full time but I work remotely so have the flexibility to come check on your animals whenever! We are also available most weekends. We have a fenced in yard, so if play time calls, they can go in and out as much as they want! We have plenty of toys and two dogs to keep them company. We also try to go on walks once or twice a day so they will get their steps in if they like to get out of the house!

“My doggo & I thank you, Kelsey! Our dogwalk request was super short-notice, but you were prompt with communication and arrived early to take Elle to Deming Park.

About: I grew up with Poodles and Poodle crosses. One of which, was a service dog. My mother and I assisted with service dog training. The last 6 years my parents have lived on farm so I have experience with my animals and injection medication. Since then, my mother has become a certified trainer and I have my own service dog Stanley. Stanley is a Standard Poodle. I'm well versed in pet care and love animals. Stanley is a gentle giant who loves to play with all dogs. He is great with any dog, even timid ones. There is a fenced in dog park where I live and the moon trail that I walk with my dog and baby I'm a stay at home mom. Activated Rover account again to care for pets while I'm home with my almost 1 year old son. Any funds helps put family afford groceries/baby needs and our future homestead. When I'm home the dogs love to run in the backyard or play at the dog park! I have a nice yard fir the dogs to play together. The pups in our house will love to play outside with your fur baby. There is the added bonus of a dog park and monon trail not to far away.
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was about 8 and I have always helped my parents take care of my dogs at home. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee as an animal science major on the pre-veterinary track, so I have a love and passion for taking care of animals. I have been accepted into veterinary school and plan to go next year. For the past two summers, I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant and and I have worked as a Kennel Assistant for 2 years during the school year. I have learned even more about caring for pets during that time; including dealing with puppies, administering medication, and working with anxious or unpredictable pets. As a recent graduate, I have a lot of time on my hands as a figure out my next step before veterinary school. I’m so excited to continue working with animals! I love going to the local parks nearby and walking dogs, as well as spending time with them inside, giving them belly rubs, love, and attention!
About: Hi there! I am an experienced pet owner who knows when to be strict and when to have some fun. I just lost my Australian Shepherd and to fill that void, I would love to host your furry friend. I have a flexible work schedule which makes it easy for me to help you let your pup out and take him/her for a walk. I grew up on a farm and around all sorts of dogs, cats and large animals that all hold a special place in my heart. In my opinion, animals and their companionship are a key part of making our lives more enjoyable. My job is very flexible so I will have plenty of time to care for and love on your pet. I do not have any other pets living with me currently. I am a fun loving pet owner who also knows when and where to draw the line. I have raised and trained working cattle dogs and know the basics of pet care.
