“Mallory was great with machiatto and I was given several updates through the trip. She was super accommodating due to unfortunate flight delays as well. Thank you again!!!”
“Kyungyeon was AMAZING with our depressed doggie! He always mopes and eats very little when we are away, but Kyungyeon would not give up until he felt comfortable and happy in her home! We got so many pictures and updates and I am so grateful for the amazing care she took of our Obi!”
“Bethany was a fantastic dog sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she regularly sent pictures that showed our dog, Gunner was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again!”
“We received peace of mind by daily checkins with pictures or videos of our little pup. Our Daisy girl was in very good capable loving hands with Gabriel. We highly recommend him and will plan on booking him again if we need it.”
“I am delighted to have entrusted my dog to Ms. Karen. He thoroughly enjoyed his time, evident from the photos she kindly shared. Ms. Karen provided excellent care, and I would certainly choose her services again. Grateful for your attention, Ms. Karen!”
“Kailly is our “go-to”! This is our fourth visit with Martha and definitely not the last. Martha is always well cared for and happy when we come to pick her up. It’s a bit of a drive, and well worth it.”
“Jody was extremely professional, responded exceptionally fast, provided photos, and is very knowledgeable in the care of dogs! He recommended some food options for my pit mastiff who has skin allergies and was very patient and kind to my beagle who has reactivity issues. I highly recommend using his boarding services if you want to feel confident that your pups will be taken care of while you’re away.”
“Kara took care of my sweet kitty Tobi for two weeks while I was away, and I am beyond satisfied with her care for him. He was on two liquid oral medications and she seemed to have no issues administering them. I got some cute pictures a few times and we communicated consistently throughout the two weeks despite there being a big time difference. She was always very prompt to respond and very kind. I went to meet her before we decided to book and she was very sweet and seemed excited about having a kitty in the house with her dog. I highly recommend Kara for anyone, specifically those with a cat, that are looking for someone experienced with medication who updates when needed!”
“Janay and her family took such great care of our fur baby! I don't think she wanted to come home. I am so grateful we were able to relax on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. Janey sent plenty of pics and remained in communication our whole stay”
“Amy has a beautiful home where she watched our dog for a week while we were out of town. Our dog can sometimes be timid of new places/faces, but not with Amy. She took great care of him and we saw this in the photo updates she shared. She works from home so your dog almost always has someone to keep them company. We can’t thank Amy enough. Absolutely, we plan to use her again. (This was our second time using her)”
“Clara did a really good job at taking care of my two boys. I could noticeably tell they were both calm and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Clara”
“How I know Ellie is an amazing sister for Marshall? Just disassembling his crate tells him he is going and he gets very excited. He and their dog are perfect attitude for each other.”
“Nanette and her sister were great dog sitters. My dog Nash spent 10 wonderful days with them. They sent photos everyday and I was able to relax on vacation knowing he was in good hands.”
“Yelena was great! She watched my four month old puppy and did a great job slowly introducing her dogs to him so that he was comfortable. She also sent a lot of pictures and videos giving me updates on how he’s doing. I’ll definitely reach out again in the future.”

“Leslie is amazing! We just returned home from our trip to find our cat napping comfortably. She administered his medication, the litter is clean & food bowl full. She sent the cutest interactive pictures while we were away that made us feel at ease. He's young & still has some energy, so it was nice to see her playing with him and giving him affection on top of the basic requirements. I would definitely rebook with Leslie!”
“We had just moved to a new home and 2 weeks later had a 2 week trip planned to Australia. We have 4 kitties. They were still getting used to their new home and we were leaving. Mary did such a great job. When we returned the kitties were settled in and seemed very happy. We will definitely have Mary cat sit again.”
“Thos was my first time using a dog sitter and Rover. I was nervous. Claire was great a reassuring me, assisting with using Rover to adjust my original request, and sending me pictures to show how she was doing. She reached out regarding issues and worked to get Cinnamon to adjust to her. I appreciated her greatly! Would definitely use River and Claire again.”
“Kathryn was responsive and had no problem with my specific requests! I have a skittish rescue and she made sure to give both pups time and attention and keep them safe and sound while we were out of town. As an anxious pet parent I appreciate it!”
“Zoe was absolutely incredible. She met with us beforehand to make sure everyone was at ease with the arrangement. She spent plenty of time with our cats at each visit and took plenty of pictures to make sure they got some love and attention. On top of all that, she seemed like a genuine and caring person. We will be happy to use her again in the future and you should too!”
About: Hi! I've been an animal lover my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for pets. While I have years of experience with dogs, I also love spending time with cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet environment, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, give them plenty of attention (or space if they prefer!), and make sure they stay happy and comfortable in their own home. I'm reliable, patient, and will always follow your cat's routine and any special instructions to ensure they're receiving the best possible care. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll treat your cat as if they were my own.

About: Hello! You should consider me over others because I live on a farm and deal with all sorts of animals. As I previously stated my Uncle called me Elmira from a young age because I loved to take care of his dog…we even shared treats haha. If anything were to go wrong with your pets I would be able to handle the situation no problem. I am flexible especially because I am graduated, so I can do a midday check in! I am willing to be flexible and do what I need to keep your pets happy! I make sure when I am house/pet sitting to spend time with the animal. Even if it means going to your home and watching an episode of tv and just loving on the animal for an hour or so!
About: Graduate from Purdue with a wildlife biology degree and currently going back for Veterinary nursing/technician! Experience in taking care of animals/walking dogs. I’m also able to take care of other types of pets (Reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc.) if needed. Lots of experience with walking and looking after different animals (Clinical experience in vet hospital, Zookeeper at the Indy Zoo, Volunteered at the Humane Society and Columbian Park zoo) I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes We have a dog and 3 cats of our own that we rescued, but we have owned quite a few dogs at my house in the past. I also have a bearded dragon. While I am home, I am able to give my time to take care of animals and provide attention to them. I want to make sure each pet is given the best care! Although I don’t do drop offs at my own home, I will listen to whatever the owner tells me is needed and make sure their pet is treated with the best care
About: I’ve taken care of different cats and have had them as pets for as long as I can remember. I am currently a cat owner right now and he is my entire world. I have very high expectations of his care when I am away and would provide nothing less than what I would want/expect.

About: Hello, my name is Hailey! I currently work full-time through the week (Sun-Thurs 10-6) and am looking to make extra cash doing what I love - spending time with dogs! I previously have worked at a dog boarding center in Whitestown, Indiana, making me suitable to take care of your pet, whether it be feeding, exercising, or even medicating them for you while you’re away at work, traveling, whatever the case may be! While I have experience with all kinds of animals, currently I have two large breed dogs, an Australian Shepherd mix who is 6 years old and an Alaskan Malamute who is 7 years old! Both are dog and people friendly, so your dog can have a playmate, or we can arrange your pet to have space to him/herself if necessary! As I have worked for a business that is used to various pets having various needs, I will do my best to accommodate you in any way necessary! I also am used to working with cats (as the dog boarding also has a cat portion as well) so I am more than happy to help your feline friends, too! Hope to see you soon! I have open availability outside of Sun-Thurs 10-6. I work hard to make sure that I am transparent about the time I have to spend with your pets! I have a lot of experience watching other people’s pets, as well as being a lifelong owner of dogs. I love all breeds and ages!

“We were out of town so had a late pickup time but Veronika was very accommodating. Great communications throughout and Blue had a lot of fun! Will not hesitate to book daycare with Veronika when the need arises.”
“Jinna and Dui kept Nissy for 5 hours today as a way for them to get to know Nissy and vise versa before she stays with them for a week starting this Friday. Jinna sent pictures and a video during the stay to help alleviate my fears (we’ve never left Nissy with anyone but family before). When I picked her up, she was happy and interacting with Jinna’s dog and another dog Jinna was sitting for…which was really a wonderful surprise because Nissy usually just tries to hide from other dogs. Jinna’s house is very clean and pet friendly, she has a great back yard and she is so sweet and gentle, and is obviously very comfortable caring for other people’s pets. I can finally relax and enjoy myself when we can’t take our pup with us knowing she will be loved and well cared for by Jinna!”

“Our energetic Doodle could not have been in better hands. My wife often worries about using overcrowded and overstimulating pet daycare. We’re so glad we found Ellie (and her dog Red!). Luna is so happy to go there and we have no doubt she is safe. Bonus that she still comes home tired from all her fun!”

About: My furry family has been growing since 2017! Over the years, we’ve rescued, puppy trained, and kitten trained our way to a home filled with three four-legged friends. During COVID, we spent about a year fostering animals through our local shelter. We quickly learned we weren’t the best foster parents because we ended up adopting one of the kittens from our very own litter! There are currently more animals in our home than humans, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🐾 My husband and I both work from home, which gives us the flexibility to provide walks, check-ins, and plenty of love and attention whenever your pets need it! 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!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks at my family home that each weigh over 120 pounds, so I'm very comfortable handling large, energetic breeds as well as dogs of all sizes. I've always enjoyed spending time with animals, whether that's going on walks, playing outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and companionship (I love to cuddle with dogs). Growing up, I regularly babysat and cared for my neighbors' dogs whenever they were away, which taught me how important it is to provide dependable, loving care while owners are gone. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, stop by for drop-in visits, or house sit while you're away, I'll treat your house and pets like they're my own. I'm reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I work remotely and have a very flexible work routine. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, allowing me to provide dependable care whenever it's needed. I always follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages if you want so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've been caring for my own family pets for over 10 years and have also provided pet care for friends and family while they travel. I'm comfortable with daily feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering simple routines, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet their routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each family's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special routines. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision and positive attention. While my family loves animals and my children enjoy helping with supervised play and affection, I am the adult responsible for all pet care and supervision. I believe in treating every pet like one of our own and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax while they're away.
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.

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 provide personalized home boarding and daycare in Fishers, Indiana. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I accept at one time so I can provide every guest with plenty of individual attention, exercise, and close supervision. Every dog is treated like family and cared for in a safe, comfortable, home-based environment. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, senior dogs, and pets with special routines. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, medication administration, crate training consistency, or a slower pace for senior care, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. Safety is my highest priority. My home features a fully fenced backyard, secure double-check procedures during outdoor time, and close supervision of all dog interactions. I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Every stay includes structured play, enrichment activities, rest periods, and plenty of affection in a calm home environment. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and excited to come back for their next stay. I’m a dedicated full-time pet caregiver who provides consistent supervision and personalized attention throughout your dog’s stay. I also have my own high-energy Border Collie, so I’m experienced in meeting the exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation needs of active dogs while ensuring every guest gets the right balance of play and rest. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play under close supervision, giving them plenty of opportunities to stay active in a secure environment. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. My home features a fully fenced backyard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised.

I also perform leash and gate checks every time pets enter or leave my home. I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified and prepared to respond quickly if an emergency arises.
“We are very thankful with Gabriel for accepting taking care of our Peanut, and understanding how we feel when we can't be with her, we appreciate the pictures and videos a lot, we see how he cares for her and definitely we recommend him to any pup owners. He is very caring and patient, dachshunds are known for being very particular, he understands her dynamics and kept her calm and happy. We're very fortunate that we found Gabriel. Thanks to Rover too for having people who love what they do and are so caring and professional.”
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.

Lots of experience with walking and looking after different animals (Clinical experience in vet hospital, Zookeeper at the Indy Zoo, Volunteered at the Humane Society and Columbian Park zoo) I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes We have a dog and 3 cats of our own that we rescued, but we have owned quite a few dogs at my house in the past. I also have a bearded dragon. While I am home, I am able to give my time to take care of animals and provide attention to them. I want to make sure each pet is given the best care! Although I don’t do drop offs at my own home, I will listen to whatever the owner tells me is needed and make sure their pet is treated with the best care
“Emily was great with Lena! She went beyond expectations and my dog loved her. Rover Cards were very informative and it made me feel closer to Lena while I was out of the country. I definitely recommend Emily and I trust her.”
About: Hi! I’m Jenn! I worked for more than 10 years at a local animal hospital as a receptionist and vet assistant. I have more than 20 years experience in the animal care field between volunteering and my career. I have regular pet sitting clients and am looking to expand upon that. I was the proud mama of two fur babies in my adult life and had lots and lots of pets growing up. I offer boarding and daycare in my home and can also do daily visits in yours. I have experience with dogs and cats of every age, size and breed. I have years of experience administering medications, both oral and injectable. I have cared for my own insulin dependent pet and currently care for many of my clients aging and/or ill pets. I would absolutely love to meet your fur baby! I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I do not have any pets of my own and there are no children living here. I am able to do leash walks multiple times a day as well as scheduled feedings and medication administration. I also have an invisible fence around the entire house and can use my collar (so it is the right frequency) for those pets who are already trained. My home also has a video/security system for added safety for all. I treat all my pet sitting fur babies like family! My four-legged guests have free reign of the house, except the upstairs bedrooms, and are welcome to sit with me and cuddle while we watch TV. 🐾
About: I’ve been walking dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had countless dog sitting jobs and want to further it and continue doing something I love I work Sunday through Wednesday at our local humane society! I have experience with dogs and cats and other types of pets including small animals and large animals. I am very flexible even on the days I work. I have one dog who is extremely with every kind of dog and loves everyone and everything. Accommodations can be made to watch your pets.
“Kendra! You were amazing. Thank you for your patience on our little hiccup today. And especially thank you for walking Grizzly. I love the pictures and I am grateful for your care of our fur baby! Stacy”
About: Hello, my name is Hailey! I currently work full-time through the week (Sun-Thurs 10-6) and am looking to make extra cash doing what I love - spending time with dogs! I previously have worked at a dog boarding center in Whitestown, Indiana, making me suitable to take care of your pet, whether it be feeding, exercising, or even medicating them for you while you’re away at work, traveling, whatever the case may be! While I have experience with all kinds of animals, currently I have two large breed dogs, an Australian Shepherd mix who is 6 years old and an Alaskan Malamute who is 7 years old! Both are dog and people friendly, so your dog can have a playmate, or we can arrange your pet to have space to him/herself if necessary! As I have worked for a business that is used to various pets having various needs, I will do my best to accommodate you in any way necessary! I also am used to working with cats (as the dog boarding also has a cat portion as well) so I am more than happy to help your feline friends, too! Hope to see you soon! I have open availability outside of Sun-Thurs 10-6. I work hard to make sure that I am transparent about the time I have to spend with your pets! I have a lot of experience watching other people’s pets, as well as being a lifelong owner of dogs. I love all breeds and ages!

“Kyungyeon was AMAZING with our depressed doggie! He always mopes and eats very little when we are away, but Kyungyeon would not give up until he felt comfortable and happy in her home! We got so many pictures and updates and I am so grateful for the amazing care she took of our Obi!”
“Bethany was a fantastic dog sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she regularly sent pictures that showed our dog, Gunner was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again!”
“Kailly is our “go-to”! This is our fourth visit with Martha and definitely not the last. Martha is always well cared for and happy when we come to pick her up. It’s a bit of a drive, and well worth it.”
“Jody was extremely professional, responded exceptionally fast, provided photos, and is very knowledgeable in the care of dogs! He recommended some food options for my pit mastiff who has skin allergies and was very patient and kind to my beagle who has reactivity issues. I highly recommend using his boarding services if you want to feel confident that your pups will be taken care of while you’re away.”
“Kara took care of my sweet kitty Tobi for two weeks while I was away, and I am beyond satisfied with her care for him. He was on two liquid oral medications and she seemed to have no issues administering them. I got some cute pictures a few times and we communicated consistently throughout the two weeks despite there being a big time difference. She was always very prompt to respond and very kind. I went to meet her before we decided to book and she was very sweet and seemed excited about having a kitty in the house with her dog. I highly recommend Kara for anyone, specifically those with a cat, that are looking for someone experienced with medication who updates when needed!”
“How I know Ellie is an amazing sister for Marshall? Just disassembling his crate tells him he is going and he gets very excited. He and their dog are perfect attitude for each other.”

“Yelena was great! She watched my four month old puppy and did a great job slowly introducing her dogs to him so that he was comfortable. She also sent a lot of pictures and videos giving me updates on how he’s doing. I’ll definitely reach out again in the future.”
“Christina took such great care of our baby Jett! I left knowing he was safe and comfortable in her care. We loved receiving pictures and updates while we were away ☺️ would definitely recommend Christina and we will be using her in the future!”
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful with our little buddy. This was our first time using Nancy and won't be our last. She sent us two sets of pictures to put us at ease that he was adjusting to his surroundings. Thanks Nancy & Mike for our trial run.”
“I’ll be reaching out to Amanda again! She’s caring and takes great care of the pups. I got over a dozen photos over the course of a 24hr stay. Thanks Amanda, and ludo thanks you too!”
“Jane took amazing care of our 10 month old puppy, and her dog was a great playmate. I felt she cared for our pup as if she were her own. Each evening she’d send a detailed update and several photos and even videos of our happy pup. This resulted in the most worry-free arrangement we could have asked for. Great communication, reliable and kind interaction all around. Very grateful and we highly recommend Jane!”
“Melissa was awesome! She took such good care of Pacey while we were on our trip, and treated him like one of the family! She sent us pictures and messages to let us know how our boy was doing! I hope our baby can stay with her again this summer!!”
“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”
