“Carrie was wonderful! We did a meet and greet and then brought our little pup over for one night. He had a lot of fun with the other little dogs and got to spend time playing in the backyard. Very happy as this is our first time using Rover and having someone else watch Rafa. She sent picture which put us at ease. Will definitely book Carrie again!”
“Sherri and Lee were outstanding with our senior dog, Daniel. They were so welcoming and compassionate. They take very good care of you and your fur baby. I would definitely recommend her and Lee. I was a first time user of Rover Sherri sent pictures and updates. It was the best experience for all of us! Thank you so much!! WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING! 🐶💜”
“Soul loved staying with this family. After they dropped him off, he went back searching for them to get another chance to play with her kids. Pick up and drop off were so smooth and I loved the picture she sent me of my puppy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“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.”
“Buddy was boarded with Emily for a few days and she did a great job, as always! Lots of pictures of Buddy over the weekend and I didn’t have to worry at all! Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Surama took great care of my dogs while I was away on a family vacation. Poppy and Rem came home tired and happy! She was flexible with pickup times when my flight home got delayed. I'll be booking with Surama again in the future! You can't beat tired and happy dogs!”
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!
“EXCELLENT, MY FAMILY USED DANIELLE'S SERVICE FOR OUT LITTLE ROCKY AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY PET CARE AND DEFINITELY WE WILL USE HER SERVICE AGAIN.”
“Monica was such a pleasure to meet. Bentley loved her! She provided updates and sent pictures. Her home was welcoming and her personality a match. I will definitely book her again when I go back to Kokomo. Thank you Monica!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits. I’m currently working in the mornings until 2-4 pm and would love to spend my evenings crying for dogs who are I need. I am available during late hours during the weekdays and weekends. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. During walks and visits, I keep pets secure, use proper leash handling, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.
“Hojoo and her family were so sweet! I am so glad I chose them. Her profile was exactly what I needed for my fur baby for a quick business trip. She treated Tito like family and he didn’t want to leave! So happy to have him make new friends!”
About: I have taken care of my parents senior dog in my home while they were out of town. Helped a former coworker with her dog, also in my home, while she was out of town. I have helped a friend of mine with their senior dog + 4 cats in their home as drop in visits while they were out of town. Since starting Rover, I have had multiple in home stays with dogs, and homes that have both dogs and cats. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. My morning routine includes leaving the house by 7:00 AM to take my child to daycare or school. Before departing, all pets in my care are taken outside, fed, and provided with any necessary medications. Depending on the proximity of your home, I may be available to stop by during my lunch break to check on and care for your pet. After work, I pick up my child from daycare and can typically arrive at your home around 5:00 PM. Upon arrival, dogs will be taken outside promptly and fed as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific care needs or scheduling. I care for pets with the same level of attention and compassion as I do my own. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and administer any required medications as directed. Dogs are taken outside regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise, and I make time to play and engage with them to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes in addition to providing consistent feeding, fresh water, and attentive care. I also enjoy offering treats when permitted; my daughter especially loves helping to give treats, making it a fun and positive experience for your pet.
“I’m always nervous leaving my dogs with sitters, but Odalys set my mind at ease. She knew exactly how to handle my little dogs and sent me plenty of photos so I could see how they were doing. I’ll definitely use her again in the future!”
“This experience was wonderful for both my dog and I. I have never left him before and he had a great time. Emily is an awesome dog sitter. She sent me pictures every day. She has two of the sweetest little boys that Augie enjoyed playing with and also a small dog of her own. After the first picture arrived I was able to enjoy my vacation. He was glad to see me but I’m sure he’s going to miss Emily and the boys. I was very happy with her care and will use her again when I need to. I would highly recommend her to keep your dog and feel comfortable about leaving it there.”

“Once again, Mary did an excellent job with our kitties, Adora and Chika. They both meow highly about her and enjoy her visits. Even our shy Chika will allow for occasional petting. Thank you again, Mary, for watching our spoiled babies.”
“Deanna was amazing. She took great care of our three cats. We really appreciated the updates and photos from each of her visits while away traveling. It was a great peace of mind knowing that she was checking in on them each day.”
“The pictures she sent were great and showed Ziti having a wonderful time, she got some porch hangout sessions and tunnel play! Allison is very kind and has great communication. Thanks for taking care of my angel!”
“Jacquie is the absolute best! She went above and beyond for my kitties. She was very communicative and my cats loved hanging out with her. Will absolutely be working with Jacquie again.”
“Marissa was just phenomenal for us!! We couldn’t recommend her more. From a great meet and greet to fantastic visits, we couldn’t be happier. We asked her to look after our cat, and it turned out to not be as easy as it sounds! The first day we found out she had been locked out, so the second vist she met with a locksmith who took a while to get there. She had lots of patience and was worried about our cat! I feel very grateful we had her watching our cat’”
“Beth was awesome. She met with us and our cats on short notice before our trip and took lots of photos every day petting and playing with our boys (and giving them treats!). She was quick to reply as well and our cats really seemed to like her. The morning after her last visit (the day we were coming home) I checked my living room camera and saw one of my cats waiting by the door for her, so I knew we hired the right person.”
About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years.

About: I'm a Purdue Animal Science student on the pre-vet track with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I have worked with dogs, cats, pocket pets, and farm animals through animal care jobs, research settings, and personal experience. I'm comfortable with feeding, administering medications, handling nervous or high-energy pets, cleaning, enrichment, and maintaining routines.

I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos while you're away!
About: Cats are, by far, my number one passion! Not only did I grow up taking care of all of my neighborhood cats, when I got older, I founded and ran a TNR community group. We spent weekends trapping, neutering, and releasing community cats to help battle overpopulation! I also have many years of experience rescuing and fostering neonatal (bottle baby) kittens.
“We have hired Karen several times because she is absolutely phenomenal! She cares about our cats and for the house while we are on vacation and always does a superb job.

I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs; you will not be disappointed and your fur babies will love her!”
“Liz was an absolute pleasure!! Our fur babies had no problems with her at all and even got our dog to eat her food(she never eats while we are away). Thank you so much for an amazing experience Liz💜”

About: I've taken care of so many cats in my life to pet sit or just to take in when a cat needed a home. Some call me the crazy cat lady and some call me the pet whisperer. I'll be honest I like pets more than I do most humans.
About: I have an absolute LOVE! For animals and I have had all kinds from raccoons to goats and to monkeys (obviously dogs though too!). So I know what it takes to care for someone’s pet. I studied at Purdue for Wildlife so if that doesn’t say something about my passion for animals and being outside with animals I don’t know what will! Also I will be doing this because I do love animals and not just for the money, the money is just something nice added on and to help with college expenses (I also am staying in the area during summer so I’m here all year round to become a regular with your family for years to come!). Knowing this you should be completely comfortable knowing your adorable family companion will be in not good but GREAT hands! I love going the extra mile for any animal in my care. I will always make sure I give my full attention/ available time slots to your pet. I will never try scheduling times if I’m unsure if I can fulfill your full needs. I will give all of the cuddles your pet needs (or give them space if they need it) and send tons of pictures. I will make sure they get everything needed such as medicine, food, and exercise.

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.

“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!”
“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: I’ve had dogs all of my life, and I love them! I can’t have one right now, so would love to “borrow” yours for a time and treat them like family. I have a gigantic fenced back yard that I subject regularly, and would love to play with your pup while you are away! I work from home, so the puppies will rarely be alone! I would love to have them join me in the office while I work, and take breaks to play! I can crate or not, depending on your preference. I only take dogs from a single home, and do not have any of my own, so you know they will be safe!

Taking care of pets fits right into our everyday life! I’m a stay-at-home dad and husband, so we’re always moving around the house, hanging out in the yard, or heading out to the park. Between toddler adventures and walks, there’s plenty of time for play, fetch, and cuddles, your pup will feel right at home with us. I have a fenced yard and a security camera at my front entrance. I love spending time outdoors and have plenty of energy to take my toddler and pets on walks to the nearby park.
About: As a life long dog lover I volunteered at a vet clinic for six months and I worked as a kennel attendant at a shelter for well over 5 years. I administered medication, gave shots, exercised and trained all breeds and types, bathed all types, and kept their kennels clean and the dogs twice fed twice daily. I have worked with puppies and seniors, lap dogs and mastiffs. Meeting new dog friends every day was the highlight of my job! To supplement my income I spent time house and pet sitting for local friends. In addition to dogs and cats, I've spent 3 years of my life working on horse farms and I'm available to care for barn babies as well. Let's talk! While I work part-time, my hours are very limited and will leave me plenty of time to play with your fur baby or check on your barn babies at least twice a day. We have a large fenced in back yard for dogs to run around in, some comfortable and cool places for dogs to chill indoors, and we can take frequent walks as a family.

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.

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!

About: From a far back as I can remember, animals have been a big part of my life. I come from a long line of animal lovers so growing up I had experiences with many animals even exotic animals. I’ve learned hands on care experience as my sister is a huge animal lover and has taught me many skills regarding animal care, I’ve raised and cared for dogs and cats from the moment they were born to their elder years, animals are and will always be my top priority and I’ll always give any animal the best care they can receive. I myself am a cat and dog mother, my dog is a beautiful Chinese crested so I’m also experience with high maintenance pets as well and even animals with disabilities or behavior issues. Just know that when your pet is in my care, I will do anything and everything needed to protect, care, and comfort in order to give them the best possible sitting experience! In my school apartment we have a cat and my dog, so pet care is a daily for me! No matter how hectic a day is pet care is always my priority! Pets are family and I will always ensure the best care is given to any animal I’m around always! I have a very high energy small dog with many high maintenance needs and sometimes a sassy attitude, I am a patient caregiver and will work through any situation with patience, love, and compassion! My sweet pup Dior has always been guided with no fear inducing behaviors (yelling, physical discipline, or any distressing actions) and I’ve seen positive outcomes with this patient loving approach to any situation, having a soft caring environment for a pet is always a priority, I also am very careful to make sure any environment I’m in with any animals is safe and keep them away for anything that can be harmful to them. Most of my friends are actually just animals so you’ll never have to worry about me putting your pet in harms way or in the presence of any thing or any one that could lead to any harm! I’m great with dogs that like to be homebody’s and dogs that like to go out and be active! I’m very adaptable and will make sure anything to do with your beautiful pet is as safe as possible!
About: I have an absolute LOVE! For animals and I have had all kinds from raccoons to goats and to monkeys (obviously dogs though too!). So I know what it takes to care for someone’s pet. I studied at Purdue for Wildlife so if that doesn’t say something about my passion for animals and being outside with animals I don’t know what will! Also I will be doing this because I do love animals and not just for the money, the money is just something nice added on and to help with college expenses (I also am staying in the area during summer so I’m here all year round to become a regular with your family for years to come!). Knowing this you should be completely comfortable knowing your adorable family companion will be in not good but GREAT hands! I love going the extra mile for any animal in my care. I will always make sure I give my full attention/ available time slots to your pet. I will never try scheduling times if I’m unsure if I can fulfill your full needs. I will give all of the cuddles your pet needs (or give them space if they need it) and send tons of pictures. I will make sure they get everything needed such as medicine, food, and exercise.
About: As a life long dog lover I volunteered at a vet clinic for six months and I worked as a kennel attendant at a shelter for well over 5 years. I administered medication, gave shots, exercised and trained all breeds and types, bathed all types, and kept their kennels clean and the dogs twice fed twice daily. I have worked with puppies and seniors, lap dogs and mastiffs. Meeting new dog friends every day was the highlight of my job! To supplement my income I spent time house and pet sitting for local friends. In addition to dogs and cats, I've spent 3 years of my life working on horse farms and I'm available to care for barn babies as well. Let's talk! While I work part-time, my hours are very limited and will leave me plenty of time to play with your fur baby or check on your barn babies at least twice a day. We have a large fenced in back yard for dogs to run around in, some comfortable and cool places for dogs to chill indoors, and we can take frequent walks as a family.

“Soul loved staying with this family. After they dropped him off, he went back searching for them to get another chance to play with her kids. Pick up and drop off were so smooth and I loved the picture she sent me of my puppy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Buddy was boarded with Emily for a few days and she did a great job, as always! Lots of pictures of Buddy over the weekend and I didn’t have to worry at all! Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Surama took great care of my dogs while I was away on a family vacation. Poppy and Rem came home tired and happy! She was flexible with pickup times when my flight home got delayed. I'll be booking with Surama again in the future! You can't beat tired and happy dogs!”
“EXCELLENT, MY FAMILY USED DANIELLE'S SERVICE FOR OUT LITTLE ROCKY AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY PET CARE AND DEFINITELY WE WILL USE HER SERVICE AGAIN.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits. I’m currently working in the mornings until 2-4 pm and would love to spend my evenings crying for dogs who are I need. I am available during late hours during the weekdays and weekends. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. During walks and visits, I keep pets secure, use proper leash handling, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.
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.
“This experience was wonderful for both my dog and I. I have never left him before and he had a great time. Emily is an awesome dog sitter. She sent me pictures every day. She has two of the sweetest little boys that Augie enjoyed playing with and also a small dog of her own. After the first picture arrived I was able to enjoy my vacation. He was glad to see me but I’m sure he’s going to miss Emily and the boys. I was very happy with her care and will use her again when I need to. I would highly recommend her to keep your dog and feel comfortable about leaving it there.”
“These two were awesome! Cocoa came home to me happy and tired. I was updated with pictures and videos. Very good communication and they were thorough in getting to know Cocoa's needs. I will definitely be using them again.”
“The most amazing sitter ever! Alana was flexible with the dates and able to change last minute. She took such good care of my dog, sent pictures all the time, and updated me with everything. He was so so happy staying with her & had the best time! Can not say how much I recommend Alana!!”
“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.”
“Wonderful! Megan was awesome. I felt at such ease leaving my fur baby with her. I got a quick response anytime I wanted an update. Nova came home very happy and tired from her stay.”
“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.”
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!
“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.”
