“We love Steve! He is flexible, communicative, friendly, and professional! (Not to mention, one of Roxie's best friends!) He is highly, highly recommended, just don't keep him busy when I need him!”
“Gerard always takes good care of our lab. He sends pictures and video updates to let us know and see how our dog is doing. If you are looking for someone you can trust that will treat your dog like his own, then I would highly recommend Gerard. He is great!”
“Douglas and Katherine were absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve been away from my little guy and they treated him like one of their babies! They sent pictures everyday and my little guy was so happy and comfortable! It made going on our trip so much easier! Thank you!!”
“Are experience was great ! my wife had some concerns but Aurora was very helpful with her concerns. Griz fit in well and seemed to be ok with the sleep over. We will use her services again.”
“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”
“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”
“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”
“Alexis was great! From picking him up to dropping him off, and everything in between, our dog was happy and we had great peace of mind. She sent us pictures throughout our vacation with updates on our sweet guy.”
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
“Brendan was very nice and easy to communicate with. His dog Duke was a sweetheart. We were a little nervous boarding Eddie we had never left him before. We would us Rover and Brendan again.”
“Joe did an above and beyond job of taking such great care of Ollie for us while we were on vacation. He asked about all of the big and little details of Ollie’s care, was very attentive to his needs and feeding schedule, and I loved that not only did Ollie get plenty of attention from Joe and his family, but he had playmates (Joe’s dogs) to play with and keep him company, and Joe sent regular picture updates! It absolutely puts us at ease that our pup got to have such loving individual attention from a family! I’ve never boarded him at a business-but I’m pretty confident that the level of personal care he got in a loving home far supersedes that of a business. I would hands down book with Joe again!”
“This is the second time I have used Samantha for my puppy Beckett. He stayed two nights with Samantha. She does a great job with Beckett. He runs excitedly into her house which tells me he is treated well. She is very accommodating, we had to change our times a little bit and Samantha worked with us on that. I am already scheduled to use Samantha again.”
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have both dogs and cats of my own, so I understand how different every pet’s personality and routine can be. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very attentive and patient, and I treat other people’s pets the same way I’d want someone to treat my own. I’m also comfortable with multi-pet households and pets that may need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets rather than rushing through visits, and I’m happy to work around their normal routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets stay in a safe, comfortable environment while maintaining the routines they’re used to. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and anything else specific to your pet. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a young girls. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends for many years. I have two pets of my own, so I will make it my priority to treat your pet like family. I am a full time student with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of free time both on weekdays and weekends to be able to care for your pets! I prioritize being able to let your pet stay where they feel comfortable. That is why I think it’s best for me to travel to your home. I want to try and keep your pet on their normal schedule.

“Kellsy did an incredible job dropping in to feed our cats while we were on vacation! Our other plan for a family member to watch our cats fell through and we sent a request last minute through Rover. Kellsy responded quickly and was excellent communicating with us all through the process. Her updates each visit gave us peace of mind that our cats were well taken care of so we could enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Kellsy caring for your pets, she's the best!”
“Emma was amazing! She always updated me on my kittens and even sent me little videos of them playing! Her updates were always detailed and she answered any questions you had during the drop-ins! She even scooped the litter, gave them their meds, and cleaned the few accidents that popped up! At the end of the week, she even took out the used litter, washed the boxes, and replaced the litter! Seriously stellar! I recommend her 100%!”
“Issabella did a great job stopping in to care for our cat while we were out of town. She even brought a toy with her and the videos of our cat Doug seemed so happy. Grateful for Issabella!”
“Ashlyn did I wonderful job of taking care of my cat! Hired her for drop in visits and she did amazing. Very attentive to instructions and great communication. My kitty loved her and I would definitely recommend her/will be using her in the future if I need to!”
“I haven’t had to leave my cats for more than a weekend in years so I was a bit nervous! But Declan was fabulous - I loved the daily updates and found that I was looking forward to the pictures every day that I was gone! And on a pet level, Declan managed to befriend my most skeptical cat, and even expand the group of people whose lap she will voluntarily sit on to a whopping three people. So, he definitely passed the vibe check! The other cat at one point attempted to go home with him, lol. Declan was super communicative and definitely made it a lot easier to not worry about the cats, will definitely book him again when needed!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I have been alive. I love horror movies and halloween so movie night with a furry friend is always awesome. I have 2 girls myself with very different personalities. I own a pet waste removal service so pet care is nothing new to me. I am not squeamish and have owned several "exotic" pets is the past. A meet and greet is an absolute must. After all, compatibility is key. I would love the chance and possibly the honor to take care of your baby. I own a pet waste removal business as well as having 2 dogs of my own to care for. I have owned many pets in my lifetime. I follow directions. Understand the importance to follow directions and respect your home. Your house, your rules. I will double check gates and doors to make sure your pet is safe and your mind is at ease. I will text photos and videos to keep you updated.
“Traci is an amazing dog sitter always sends pictures with funny captions of what happened during her visit! She is very flexible and truly learns your pups behaviors. Makes leaving your fur baby with her less stressful.”
About: I have owned a cat since 2021, but volunteered with them even before that. I own three of my own who I would do anything for. They love other cats as well and are the sweetest babies! I love to provide cat enrichment, training, exercise (such as stroller & harness walks if requested), I work at a vet clinic so ANY emergencies would be seen to immediately. I have multiple litterboxes and all of them get cleaned twice daily no exceptions, I wash all my cat dishes every day and brush their teeth every night. I have no issues doing medications including insulin for our sweet diabetic babies. I would love to take care of your kitties
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and have years of experience understanding their unique personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and giving cats the patience and affection they need while their owners are away. I also have dogs who love cats, so I’m familiar with creating a calm and safe environment for feline friends. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their comfort and well being.
About: I grew up with at least always one dog in childhood home and was one of the few, if not only, kid on the street that parents and neighbors would ask to not only watch their kids but also take care of their fur (etc.) babies . Cats and dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, snakes, lizards and birds are all animals at one point or another I have cared for. I also believe every breed and age of dog or cat deserves as much love and care any any other breed or aged pet! I love the outdoors, including days that arnt sunny and bright, and would love to play and entertain your beloved animal while also making sure all their needs are meet. Home with time to share with your family pets! I try to give ample notification if any changes occur. I am usually very responsive to texting, more so when I am caring for someone's beloved pet. If a client would like to keep their pets stress levels lower while they are on their vacation by having me come take care of their pet at their own territory that is great! I will always take time to play, pet, clean up after and or feed your pet if that is the service you require. Dog walks usually wont end unless the animal has relieved itself (individual pet dependent) and they are smiling those big goofy doggo smiles. My previous occupation had me perform security so I understand the importance of people needing to feel safe and secure in letting someone into their home while its unattended. Please feel free to ask me any types of questions and feel confident that none of your information will be shared/copied etc in any way in addition to the sites our background check.
“As I am sure most pet parents considering a pet sitter are, I think of my pets as my babies. I was getting really stressed out about leaving my 3 cats for 3 days and finding someone to watch them. I was so relieved when I found a sitter and it was an amazing experience. They sent photos, videos, and kept open communication. I felt like my cats were in great hands the entire time and while I was excited to come home, I felt less nervous about being away. I am definitely going to be using them in the future again and would recommend them to anyone.”

“Shelby loved having daycare here! She is a little shy initially but warmed up quickly and by day two had her tail wagging when I dropped her off! The daily update and pictures were such a great touch and kept me updated on how my baby did each day. Would definitely utilize the services again and highly recommend!”

I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).

I am currently giving softball lessons, but because it is a self made schedule, I have plenty of availability to check in on your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free.

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!
About: I love animals so much! I understand how scary it can be to trust someone new with your beloved pets, I have three cats of my own who I would do anything for. I have dog sat in home and visited homes for potty breaks, I have also walked dogs, volunteered at my local humane society and fostered animals! I also work at a veterinary clinic and have lots of hands on experience in the field. Rest assured any emergencies would be handled efficiently. I check on all my animals multiple times a week, I love to cuddle and love on any animals and give them tons of attention. I really enjoy basic training and walking with them! I feed detailed and thoughtful meals and spend quality time with any pet I am with. I do have a job that requires me to work many days during the week, but it doesn’t affect my ability to tend to animals in my care. My husband is also readily available to assist me whenever needed. He is just as much of a lover as I am and is currently in school for Veterinary Medicine. I feed them 2-3x daily, change their water every day, offer treats and plenty of outdoor time.

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life and bring a calm, patient vibe to every visit—but I love dogs just as much, so tail wags are always welcome too! I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, whether that means cozy cuddles, zoomie-fueled playtime, or just being a reassuring presence while you’re away. Expect plenty of pets, play, fresh food and water, and a sparkling clean litter box for cats—or fun walks, outdoor time, and belly rubs for dogs. Based in Cincinnati, I offer pet sitting and drop-ins across the metro area. My flexible schedule (and free weekends!) means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine. I’m experienced with oral and topical medications and treat every furry friend like my own—because they deserve nothing less 🐾 I'm currently on the hunt for a new Agency position, so my days and weeks are completely free currently. Able to be booked at any time. I tailor my care to each pet and the service you choose, because every animal has their own routine and personality. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible—sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite playtime activities. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with fresh food and water, and I keep their spaces clean (litter boxes, food areas, etc.). For dogs, that usually means walks, outdoor time, and lots of play (plus belly rubs, of course). For cats, I match their vibe—whether that’s interactive play or just quiet companionship and gentle pets. I’m also experienced with oral and topical medications and always keep an eye on behavior and health, so I can catch anything unusual early. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I have gained the reputation in my neighborhood to be the one to call for any pet needs. I’ve taken care dogs, cats, even chickens and I love every second of it. I am currently a college student and I am taking classes over the summer. I am basically free all the time and I am able to schedule my week around pet care. I have pets at home so I will not be able to bring animals into it. I will care for animals at the clients home, allowing the animal to be comfortable in its own environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a young girls. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends for many years. I have two pets of my own, so I will make it my priority to treat your pet like family. I am a full time student with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of free time both on weekdays and weekends to be able to care for your pets! I prioritize being able to let your pet stay where they feel comfortable. That is why I think it’s best for me to travel to your home. I want to try and keep your pet on their normal schedule.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since the time I was very little. I just have a passion for animals and they bring me lots of joy! I’m very free since there’s summer. So I’m pretty flexible and free in morning and and evenings. Really anytime, I love going on walks and usually out and about! I have a fenced yard. My house is pretty big, there able to be out and about! I’m able to be flexible and do what you ask for your animal
About: I currently do not have a car but I will show up on the times I’m scheduled! My boyfriend may take me sometimes or my mom, they will not come into the house or anything while I’m working, just drop me off & leave! I’m available basically every single day! Feel free to send a message any time! I’m completely fine with exotic animals as well! Just let me know how to care for them :)<3 my schedule is pretty flexible! I would absolutely love to find repeat clients! I’d prefer if you was in Muncie as I currently do not have a car and would hate to make my rides drive out long distances! Either leave a note with the instructions or in a text is fine! I will always provide my phone number for any and all visits!
About: Hello! I have been taking care of family and friends' pets of all ages, including dogs, cats, fish, and rodents since I was in elementary school. I love going on walks outside as well as playing with and loving on all kinds of animals. A friend had a hedgehog and I loved his spiky self! I have had dogs my whole life and currently have four rescued cats, one of whom I nursed from two weeks old after she was abandoned by her mother on the streets. Only two of the cats live with me in my current living situation, but they're all still in my heart! They just live with my partner in another state because I currently live with my mom and she said I could only have two with me. :/ Trust that if it was up to me, I'd have all four! I also live with my mom's 3 dogs, a German Shepherd, a Poodle/Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mutt, and a lil 4lb baby that is scared of everything except the giant dogs she thinks she can fight with! Because of the big dogs I live with, I do know that I unfortunately cannot handle walking a large, strong dog that is not leash trained because they will absolutely drag me all the way down the street if they take off running. I won't let go, but they'll take me with them! If you have a low energy/senior larger dog, or have a fenced-in backyard and are okay with us having our active time in the backyard instead of going on walks, we can discuss the situation! If I say no, please do not be hurt or offended. It is for your pet's safety as well as my own! I am currently only working on Rover, so my days are pretty free! I spend most of my days hanging out with my own pets, junk journaling, going thrifting, stalking eBay for vintage clothing and home decor finds, reading nonfiction books, and watching way too many video essays on Youtube! I do not currently have the space to care for a client's pet in my own home (between my mom and I, there are already 3 dogs and 2 cats in one house!). I have years of experience house and pet sitting in others' homes, and always take care of their places even better than my own. If you would like me to grab the mail, check for packages, or do light maintenance housework (separate from your pets' needs) while I stay at your place for an overnight, just let me know and I'd be happy to discuss whether I am able to help!

“We love Steve! He is flexible, communicative, friendly, and professional! (Not to mention, one of Roxie's best friends!) He is highly, highly recommended, just don't keep him busy when I need him!”
“Gerard always takes good care of our lab. He sends pictures and video updates to let us know and see how our dog is doing. If you are looking for someone you can trust that will treat your dog like his own, then I would highly recommend Gerard. He is great!”
“Douglas and Katherine were absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve been away from my little guy and they treated him like one of their babies! They sent pictures everyday and my little guy was so happy and comfortable! It made going on our trip so much easier! Thank you!!”
“Are experience was great ! my wife had some concerns but Aurora was very helpful with her concerns. Griz fit in well and seemed to be ok with the sleep over. We will use her services again.”
“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”
“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”
“Alexis was great! From picking him up to dropping him off, and everything in between, our dog was happy and we had great peace of mind. She sent us pictures throughout our vacation with updates on our sweet guy.”
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
“Brendan was very nice and easy to communicate with. His dog Duke was a sweetheart. We were a little nervous boarding Eddie we had never left him before. We would us Rover and Brendan again.”
“Joe did an above and beyond job of taking such great care of Ollie for us while we were on vacation. He asked about all of the big and little details of Ollie’s care, was very attentive to his needs and feeding schedule, and I loved that not only did Ollie get plenty of attention from Joe and his family, but he had playmates (Joe’s dogs) to play with and keep him company, and Joe sent regular picture updates! It absolutely puts us at ease that our pup got to have such loving individual attention from a family! I’ve never boarded him at a business-but I’m pretty confident that the level of personal care he got in a loving home far supersedes that of a business. I would hands down book with Joe again!”
“This is the second time I have used Samantha for my puppy Beckett. He stayed two nights with Samantha. She does a great job with Beckett. He runs excitedly into her house which tells me he is treated well. She is very accommodating, we had to change our times a little bit and Samantha worked with us on that. I am already scheduled to use Samantha again.”
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have both dogs and cats of my own, so I understand how different every pet’s personality and routine can be. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very attentive and patient, and I treat other people’s pets the same way I’d want someone to treat my own. I’m also comfortable with multi-pet households and pets that may need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets rather than rushing through visits, and I’m happy to work around their normal routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets stay in a safe, comfortable environment while maintaining the routines they’re used to. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and anything else specific to your pet. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Julie was wonderful with my dog. I was so glad he was well taken cafe of. Despite me having some trouble with the reservation booking system, Julie and the Rover rep got the issue sorted out quickly. I'll definitely use Julie again.”
“Nancy and her husband took the excellent care of our dog Patty! They sent us daily updates and pictures to bring us additional comfort while we were a country away! Highly recommend Nancy to anyone that loves their dog and wants a good experience for your dog and yourself while taking a vacation!”
“As this was my first time trying to find a dog sitter or boarding that is reasonable, I’ve come to find it’s difficult especially outside of Indy. Kari & Clint were absolutely phenomenal and I can’t say enough great things! We even received pictures of our pup while away. They are super friendly, and ensured my trust from day 1. We would love to have their business again in the future. Thank you again.”
