“Bennie enjoyed his sleepover with Destinee and her family! We wanted to make sure he did okay prior to us going away for vacation. We could tell he had a great time by the photos and how zonked he was when he got home. Destinee is wonderful and so good with communication!”
“Rachel did a great job caring for my 2 frenchies. They had lots of outdoor play time even though it’s cold out. She sent me pics each day which was very nice. They got home yesterday and slept all day. I highly recommend her.”
“We had an amazing experience with Ruby! She treated our girl like a princess 👑 She sent so many pictures and videos, reassuring us that she was having a great time. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“Wonderful as always! Brooke & Family are incredible at dog boarding. My little Ginger always has the best time while staying with them. I already have my next booking with them scheduled!”
“Mary is absolutely awesome! When Demi sees we have arrived for a stay, she goes crazy. She loves going for visits and gets upset when it's time to go home. Demi came home exhausted. :)”
“Samantha was the best dog border we've ever had! Our dog is 16 years old and has a few special needs. Samantha managed his care SO well! We were gone for 12 days, and each day Samantha sent us pics and videos! We could see that he was not only well-cared for, but also happy. Our dog took to Samantha, her family, and her dog so well, we thought he might not want to come home again. Thankfully, he was happy to come home. :-) We hope to ask Samantha to care for him again when we travel.”
“Julie was great for our girls. She was easy to communicate with and loved on our anxious, storm hating dog during a stormy weekend. Will certainly be booking with her again!”
“BearOtis and LuLu just got home from their longest stay to date. I have 2 very tired and content puppers! I think they played nonstop and honestly looked a little sad to be back home away from their friends lol! Thank you again Kelli for treating my babies like your own!”
“Sheila was wonderful! I needed someone very last minute and she responded right away and that’s how communication was the entire time we were gone! She sent pictures/videos and updates to let me know Binx was doing okay! My pup was loved on and treated like family during her stay!”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Always so warm and friendly and love on our dogs. We love taking them here and know they are always cared for so well. Have used multiple times and will use again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Christine. I was very happy with Christine. She is very polite and easy to communicate with. She took great care of my 2 Chihuahuas for 10 days. She gladly gave me a couple updates (with pictures). I could tell that my little girls were being loved and treated well. Thanks Christine! I’ll be back!💕”
“Josh and Kate were great and really helped alleviate my anxiety in leaving him in someone else’s home. They were welcoming and knowledgeable about the best way to introduce him to the other let they were caring for. They sent updates which thrilled all of us, especially the kids, to see that he was being so well taken care of and loved while we were away. Milo seemed very comfortable and quickly made himself at home in theirs. It was a great experience and their care was very much appreciated. Can’t recommend them enough and rather than stress about who will keep our anxious pup while we are away I will be looking up Josh and Kate immediately. Thank you both for loving our big, sweet Milo!”
“This is the first time boarding our puppy and using rover. The experience was wonderful, they’re very friendly and helpful. Our puppy was nervous as was I but they kept in contact with me and sent pictures of our girl enjoying her time. We will definitely be using them in the future.”
“This was the first time someone I didn't know watching my dog. This was the best experience. She treated Biggie with the upmost care. She treated him like family. This is my new go to instead of boarding him I got pictures and updates when needed. She even picked up Biggie. I highly recommend”
“Chelsea did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. We also appreciated her quick communication and willingness to watch our dog as a last minute booking and to add on a day when we wanted to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house.
“Sara was very thoughtful and communicated during our Doberman’s stay and sent amazing photos. She made both drop off and pick up seamless as well. Looking forward to booking again with Sara in the future!”

“Megan did a fantastic job caring for our cats and rabbit while we were on vacation. She showed up promptly every day for the drop ins. We loved getting the daily pictures. I would highly recommend Megan to take care your furry family members.”
About: Here’s a clean, natural blurb that sounds genuine (not robotic) and hits everything cat owners care about: ⸻ I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly love and respect them for who they are. I understand that every cat is different—some are cuddly and social, while others are more independent or need time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ve cared for all types, from short-haired to long-haired, and from affectionate to more reserved personalities. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always take the time to learn each cat’s routine and preferences so they feel safe and stress-free. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, and I’m comfortable handling daily care like feeding, litter box cleaning, and giving them the space or attention they need. I’ve also helped my parents create a safe space for local stray cats, especially during the winter, which has given me even more appreciation for how to care for and look out for cats in all situations. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always come first with me.
“So glad we found Lexi! During our meet and greet, the dog and many of the cats fell in love with her at first sight. Lexi did all the drop-in visits, and everyone was very well taken care of. I would absolutely ask Lexi to take care of our four-leggeds again!”
“Jenna is caring, efficient and trustworthy! She even came by a few days before her scheduled visit to meet my babies and learn special care instructions. There was an unexpected occurrence during her visit, she notified me immediately and performed additional services. She went above and beyond and I am so grateful. She is worth every penny. She was joined by her very knowledgeable fiancé. I will definitely be utilizing their valuable skills in the future!”
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”
About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!
About: I have been around cats for many years and have begun taking care of them in the past 3. Cats are dignified animals that set their boundaries firmly. Their homes are their safe area and that must be respected. Patience and understanding is what I bring when visiting so that I can perform any housekeeping with minimal disturbance to their mood. It is all at their pace and their openness.
“Cole was put in a situation that could have ended badly for all involved. The neighbors let their dog roam knowing it’s history as an aggressive dog. Cole was quick thinking and handled the situation very well. His communication and quick action saved the day. I can’t say enough about Cole and his professionalism and communication”
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
“Trish arrives on time and pays special attention to her ward. Libby is happy when I return home and I am comforted by knowing I can depend on Trish to show up and take amazing care of my baby.”
“Very happy with the service. I had a great vacation knowing my cats were in good hands. I enjoyed the photos of them getting love and attention. I would definitely hire Darcie again.”
“We needed a dog sitter at the last minute for our 4 large dogs for a weekend and Emma responded quickly and was able to come over and meet the dogs later that day, despite the short notice. They immediately took to her and acted like she was part of the pack. Emma took great care of them and was very communicative throughout the weekend, writing us very detailed visit descriptions and sending lots of pictures. She made our first time using this service very easy. Would definitely use her to check on or sit for our dogs again.”
About: I've owned cats and care for other cats for 19 years of my life. I clean litter boxes feed/water administer medications. My neighborhood cats coming running when they see me or my car!
About: I absolutely love animals and will care for your pets as my own. I have had cats my whole life and have helped raise them. I also have two pitbulls of my own who are very loving. I am comfortable around all breeds, sizes and ages. I don’t have a problem with early morning walks either. I will show lots of love, attentiveness and patience towards your pets. I will always follow your rules that you have for your pet to encourage good behavior and consistent training. Please call or text if you have any questions! I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to play with! Also I have extra crates if needed or two separate rooms they can stay in with beds. I have nights off and work during the day so i’m always available for a night walk or mornings. I have every Tuesday off and another random day in the week but I can also work with your schedule. At the moment i’m not accepting boarding. I recently got a kitten and she’s still very scared so hopefully soon I will be able to.

“We did a trial run for boarding with a day of day care and I could not be happier. Destinee treated the dogs like they were her own. Let them do nothing all day long, which is what they do best. This is the right fit for our dogs, to be in a loving home environment. Thank you!”
“Kamela was fantastic with my puppy! Her and her family accepted my baby as their own and I never had to doubt her safety or well being. Will definitely be using in the future and 100% recommended ☺️”
“Nichole and Moe were amazing. Extremely kind and understanding. Very patient with my girl Blue. They worked with me and my early and late hours. Wouldn’t have been able to make it through the week without them!”
About: Hey there! I am Jen. I can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. Love being active outdoors, going for walks, and making new animal friends. Pets bring so much joy, and I’m here to make sure they have just as much fun (and comfort!) while you’re gone- as they do when you’re home. I work from home, with a fenced in yard. I often just keep the back door open, unless it's winter... so they can explore and potty as they wish. I think animals do better with company so we really like the social aspect of this app where animals can be together with each other
“I dropped off Oz, our 6 year old, curious, mischievous and playful Husky-Keeshond, at Laura’s house for daycare and as well a surprise overnight boarding and he loved it!! He was good and tired from playing all day with other dogs and walking in the park and to top it all off the photo updates on the dog’s activities throughout the day were awesome!! My wife and I just wish we had found out about her sooner!! We will definitely consider her our first option the next time we need daycare, boarding or or the next time Oz just needs a day of fun!”
“Pete had a good time, got to.play with other dogs in a nice backyard, and Sheila was very easy to work with and easy to schedule a meet n greet with. I'm sure we will be back. I appreciate her willing to take Pete for my odd work hours.”
“Our dogs loved their time at Kelli's! She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Kelli provided photos and updates during the day and is really communicative. Her fenced-in back yard provides a great opportunity for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs were worn out from playing and having such a good time! I would definitely love to use Kelli again.”
“Another great day of daycare with Miss Lauren! She is so sweet to Brody and Jethro when they need to spend a day with her, and she's a pro at managing their different personalities while making sure every dog gets love and attention. Couldn't have left them with anyone else!!”
“Pete comes how tired so I know he had a good time. Hey we're able to take Pete with only a days notice which I appreciate...but I usually try to plan ahead. I know Pete enjoys the big yard and lots to explore. And it is always a bonus when he is able to take a nap because he is often too excited to do so. Super easy to work with!”
“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. Also, he is very knowledgeable on the needs of dogs when at daycare such as resting/calm time. As someone that is very particular about the care of my dog, I trust Jackson! Definitely recommend!”
About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9 years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while you pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.
“Andrea was wonderful. She was super accommodating and sent lots of pictures to us throughout the day. I would be happy to book with her again if we come through the Indianapolis area in the future.”
About: Animals have also been apart of my life since I was young. From dogs and cats to rabbits! I love them all. I have experience dealing with a wide range of breeds as well. I have babysat dogs of family and friends while they were away. I am a dog mom myself and enjoy caring for animals! I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time during the week to love on your dogs! For boarding I am available after 5pm. I have a fur baby that loves other dogs and playing! They will have a good time together! I do not have a fenced backyard so daily walks are always fun for my dog. Lots of room in the house to cage your pup if necessary (cage must be provided).
“Augie had a wonderful time with Mary Jane and family. This was the first time we left Augie with anyone; Mary Jane made us feel reassured and calm. We had a terrific get away and Augie had a great day! Thank you, Janine & Bruce”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life and bring a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments to every pet I care for. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of energy levels, personalities, and behavioral needs including behaviors such as resource guarding. Whether your dog thrives on structure, needs extra patience, or has a more outgoing and playful nature, I take the time to get to know them individually so I can engage with them in the way that suits them best. I understand that every dog and household has its own routines and expectations, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions or precautions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and also very outgoing, which helps me build trust with dogs while keeping them happy and engaged. I’m also able to administer oral medications if needed and am attentive to any health or behavioral cues. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m new to the area and currently planning my wedding, which gives me a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Because I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and for overnight stays—making it easy for me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of distinct temperaments and understand how important it is to recognize and respect each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m very mindful of the routines, boundaries, and safety measures that help pets feel secure, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own, and I approach each pet as if they were my own as well. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the natural flow of your home and your pet’s routine—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you feel comfortable as well.
About: Hey there! My name is Sarah! I am in the Indiana Army National Guard, am 19 years old, and love animals! I would love to help you out with your babies! I have experience with old and young dogs, giving medication, and house training! I am out of school, I am in the Army National Guard, and typically always having evenings free! I don’t work until around 10am so I can do potty breaks before then! I prefer to stay overnight at your home so I can take care of you pets best! I am okay with feeds, potty breaks, and cleaning up in any way. I can also do medication if you show me how!
About: I've lived with dogs and cats, big and small, since I was five years old. I have a passion for animals of all sorts and I previously worked as a kennel tech for a veterinary office and worked as a dog groomer for several years before my son was born. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my children. I especially love dogs and cats of all sizes and I love being able to work from home taking care of them and helping pet parents know their pets are safe and loved when they’re with me. I'm open to caring for animals of other species as well! I’m experienced in taking care of many different types of animals with different levels of care, such as senior pets, medically needy pets, puppies and kittens, aggressive/reactive pets, as well as exotics. I took a 4 year long veterinary assisting course and I received my CVA (certified veterinary assistant) license in July 2016! I’m a stay at home mom to my children, so I work from home and have pretty open availability to help whenever I’m needed, including weekdays! When caring for someone else’s pets, my main goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and loved. I strive to follow the directions given and keep your pet in a routine they are familiar with, so please don’t hesitate to ask for special requests! For grooming: I have been a professional groomer for several years, plus animal experience as noted above! Please let me know what haircut you would like, your pets’ temperament with grooming, any special requests or concerns you may have during the groom, I am happy to accommodate. I am familiar with most breed specific haircuts and I’m well versed in many different breeds, so please feel free to let me know exactly what your desired haircut looks like! I have open availability as I am a stay at home mom! I’m usually available most days of the week, but may need a couple days to plan, so please shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to get something scheduled! I care for pets as the owners intend me to. I strive to provide a safe and loving environment whether your pet is in my home or yours. When your pet is in my care, rest assured that I am doing everything in my power to keep them happy and healthy :) My schedule can be quite flexible, so please reach out to me to see if we can make something work! I have pretty open availability most days. My goal is to take care of your pet in the same manner that you typically would, so that you can leave them in my care knowing they are loved, safe and cared for as you intend.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household. Neighbors, family, and friends have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I work part time at a school from august to may. I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.
About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot!

Our Jameson just loves her calm nature and lovable personality! Jameson is always so happy and excited when she sees her . We definitely recommend Adelyn 100% , she’s the Best!”

I like small dogs but big dogs are my absolute favorite. I personally have a great dane who is a dork and I love him so much. We used to bread great danes so I can work well with puppies. :) I currently work part time, I work most mornings till about 10am and am free after that. I can watch animals on weekend afternoons or evenings. I would like a set schedule with someone if that works out. I have a big back yard and a very loving great dane to keep company.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, because growing my family always had pets. I love animals and my family can rely on me when it comes to caring for their pets. Having pets and growing up around all sorts of animals has encouraged me to expand my knowledge and kindness to help other’s when it some to taking care of their pets. I’m comfortable around all dogs and cats. When I take care of pets I dedicate my time to care for all of them and their needs. My schedule does change a lot when I go ba k to school or during the summer time as well I at the moment I have part-time availability and can house sit and walk dogs. I will also take last minute bookings on the weekdays, and cancellations. I also travel quite a lot so i apologize in advance for my opening. When it comes to taking care of dogs and other animals, I make sure to take them out on the leash and try to get in at least two walks everyday, as well play with them so they’ll sleep well later on.
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well.

I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
About: I've had animals my entire life. Dogs and cats! I take care of humans in the ER, and want to take care of my preferred kind of babies (fur babies) on my days off! I'm an RN! So I am working 3-4 shifts a week which leaves plenty of time to take care of fur babies on my days off! I will take care of my clients fur babies in ways that are preferred by the client!

I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!
“AMAZING! Spectacular! There isn’t a word to express how amazing Jason and Tania are! Kona was treated like a king :) Tania sent the best pictures and always let me know how Kona was feeling. She communicated every concern and showed how much she loves what she does. After a few walks she figured out his likes and dislikes and just let my pup do his thing whether that was rolling in the grass and just chilling or watching all the squirrels. Kona also LOVED Tania, you could tell by the pictures. I was always at ease knowing that Kona was being cared for so wonderfully. Not only are the best people ever, they are also extremely flexible and are amazing communicators. When ever I had a last minute walk needed or a change in schedule they were eager to help make that change. They will be Kona's number one choice for walks for life. ❤️”
About: I started taking care of animals when I was eight. Since then, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, a tarantula, fish, chickens, cows, and of course cats and dogs of various ages. Typically, I will set up a phone call or meet and greet before officially booking. This helps to make sure owners and I are have the same expectations and to meet your adorable pets. I am a full time college student, so my availability is flexible. I am available to check in or stay overnight with your pets. Walking is also something I love to do for exercise or a study break. I currently live in an apartment with a roommate's cat that scares easily with other animals. Therefore, I will only sit in owner homes. I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.

“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Always so warm and friendly and love on our dogs. We love taking them here and know they are always cared for so well. Have used multiple times and will use again!”
“Josh and Kate were great and really helped alleviate my anxiety in leaving him in someone else’s home. They were welcoming and knowledgeable about the best way to introduce him to the other let they were caring for. They sent updates which thrilled all of us, especially the kids, to see that he was being so well taken care of and loved while we were away. Milo seemed very comfortable and quickly made himself at home in theirs. It was a great experience and their care was very much appreciated. Can’t recommend them enough and rather than stress about who will keep our anxious pup while we are away I will be looking up Josh and Kate immediately. Thank you both for loving our big, sweet Milo!”
“This is the first time boarding our puppy and using rover. The experience was wonderful, they’re very friendly and helpful. Our puppy was nervous as was I but they kept in contact with me and sent pictures of our girl enjoying her time. We will definitely be using them in the future.”
“This was the first time someone I didn't know watching my dog. This was the best experience. She treated Biggie with the upmost care. She treated him like family. This is my new go to instead of boarding him I got pictures and updates when needed. She even picked up Biggie. I highly recommend”
About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house.
“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”
“Our dog loved staying with Nicole & her family! She was responsive & sent us pictures and updates daily! She made sure that our dog felt like he was part of their family! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe family to watch their family while they are away! I will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“I left my dog with Diandra, who's home is clean and organized, her dogs are calm and submissive. My dog Annie, I believe had a great time spending time with them I would not hesitate rebooking with Diandra.”
