“Katelin was wonderful with our 3 yr old corgi poo Lucy while we were out of town! We received photos of her regularly and loved that she and her family were so interactive with her. Lucy was well taken care of, we are grateful! Thank you Katelin!”

“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”

“10/10 Alejandra is a trustworthy and kind person. She handled my dog exceptionally well. It was his first time being at a dog sitter, and I highly recommend Alejandra. She and her husband take great care of everything. They spend ample time on playtime, walks, and other activities. My dog was thoroughly happy. I have a challenging dog, but Alejandra handled him exceptionally well and is truly amazing. She is also flexible with timings, dog essentials, and other matters. She is the kindest person I have ever met.”

“There are dog sitters, and then there are people who truly become part of your dog's life. For quite a while now, my weekends have slowly become my weekdays—early mornings, long shifts, and the quiet rhythm of doing what needs to be done. In the midst of all of that, there is always Paige. And as any dog owner understands, our dogs are never "just dogs." They are love, trust, comfort, and pieces of our hearts that walk beside us through life. That is why I cannot say enough wonderful things about these incredible puppy sitters. From the very beginning, Paige was not simply watched over—she was welcomed, understood, and loved. Their care extends far beyond food, potty breaks, and supervision. They genuinely invest themselves in the dogs they care for, and it shows in every interaction, every update, and every photo they send. Even when Paige wasn't feeling her best, they met her with extra comfort, special food, patience, and care, giving me a peace of mind that is difficult to put into words. What I appreciate most is not only how deeply they care for her, but how much they help her grow. Through gentle guidance, structure, socialization, and opportunities to learn from mature, well-behaved dogs, Paige continues to become calmer, more confident, and more comfortable in herself. Their home provides so much more than pet sitting. It provides safety, growth, companionship, encouragement, and love. As someone whose life often requires being in many places at once, there is a profound comfort in knowing that while I am caring for others, someone else is caring for Paige with the same attentiveness and devotion I would hope to give her myself. That kind of peace is rare. Paige and I are grateful beyond words—not simply because they care for her so well, but because they care for her with their whole hearts. Thank you, Jennifer and Larry W., for the extraordinary impact you have made. The comfort, reassurance, care, wisdom, and generosity you have shared have left a lasting imprint that will be carried with profound gratitude. Some gifts cannot be measured by what is given, but by what is felt, and for that, we will always be thankful.”

“Lyndsey took such amazing care of Blue! I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless experience. Lyndsey gave so many great updates of Blue having the time of his life. Would highly recommend Lyndsey to take care of your dog”

“This was Lucy’s first extended stay with Andrew and Jane and they definitely treated her like one of their own. She got lots of love, snuggs, and playtime with her friends. Andrew and Jane sent loads of photos and video updates and were extremely accommodating when our travel was delayed and we needed a later pickup time. We will be using them for all of Lucy’s boarding and daycare needs.”

“I am so happy to have found Betty to care for my sweet fur baby Bella. Bella is a 12 pound Rat Terrier and does not like to travel so It has always been very hard to plan trips with her. It breaks my heart to have to leave her behind so finding someone to care for her was very important and had to have a love for dogs. When I met with Betty before I decided to book her service, I had no questions that she would be the one to care for my dog. She has adorable dogs of her own and it made me happy to know that my dog would have others to play with her. I highly recommend Betty. Linda”


“Lynn was great with our little guy. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, was very responsive and took great care of him following all of our requests! Would definitely book her again.”

“Paul and Kelly (and kids) did a great job caring for our puppies. When we arrived for pickup, our puppies were happy and energetic. Paul and Kelly were very receptive to following our dogs’ schedules. We will definitely take them back to Paul, Kelly and the kids!”

“Faith was so pleasant and her accommodations are beautiful. The yard was big and offered shade. Faith's dogs are super cute and they were extremely friendly with my dog. It all made my dog's stay very enjoyable.”

“Aricela was an awesome host. Both our cat and dog stayed with her for more than two weeks and returned home in great condition. Aricela sent daily pictures of each animal, and both appeared to be happy and enjoying themselves. Our family is greatly appreciative of the care Aricela provided to our animals while we were out of town.”

“Lindsey was very professional and put us at ease as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. We were also worried that our dog may have anxiety as my husband and I are his third home. But Lindsey sent us updates and pictures, it’s was a good experience! Thank you Lindsey?”


“Kim and her whole family took amazing care of Pulcinella and Steve! She kept me up to date of their activities with lots of pictures. The boys had an amazing visit!”

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”


“Hanna is awesome! I am glad she has been there for me all of this time, and will miss her when she moves. Anyone who needs someone to look after their babies near her new home would be more than pleased with her responsiveness and understanding. Thanks Hanna for all you’ve done!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family
“I really appreciate Devin’s availability and willingness to respond to me when I blew up her phone ;) I literally could not find a pet sitter in this area that would respond to me. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs, and so it was nice to have someone who responded so quickly. (On a semi-unrelated note to pet sitting, she also took really cute pictures of my dogs which was helpful to my daughter while we were gone).”


“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”
“Amber was great with my cat and turtle. She was very communicative and messaged quickly with any questions or concerns. I came home to very happy little girls! Will definitely work with her again!”

“Lorissa was very good with my fur babies while my husband and I were gone on vacation for 4 days. she followed my Instructions very well. Gave the dogs their meds every other day, she was patient with my Cowy while he was stressed. We really appreciate the updates and photos she sent to us regarding poop reports, feedings and water intakes each visit. I’ll definitely recommend Lorissa to take care of your fur babies too.”

“Our pups are always well taken care of! We have used Jennifer and Larry multiple times and can drop our dogs off knowing they are in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“I can’t say how impressed I am with Tammie. I was visiting family and am from Iowa, Tammie was more then accommodating and welcoming. I could tell she likes what she does and cares about her canine clients. Her home is set up for the dogs and, even with multiple dogs, stays clean. My Corgi was comfortable right way. I used Tammies daycare twice, the second time my Corgi couldn’t wait to get in the door. I will be using Tammie services whenever I visit, no question about it!”


About: Hello! I recently moved to Warsaw, Indiana all the way from Arizona and I’m excited to meet new furr-babies. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and I couldn’t imagine my life any other way. I’ve also worked at Petsmart as a dog bather and I’m very experienced in reading a dogs body language. I am a stay-at-home wife, I have a dog named Oakley and two cats. Oakley, a 80-pound golden retriever, is very friendly and has never had a problem with any other dogs. Oakley loves having a good play buddy. I also have plenty of toys for dogs to play with. My cats, on the other hand, prefer to stay to themselves. I have the free time and all the love to be home with your babies. I’m a stay-at-home wife who loves spending time at home and I enjoy going taking my dog out for a walk or playing with whatever toy my brings me. I ensure that every animal is comfortable and feels safe, regardless of whether it prefers solitude or running around. Oakley is incredibly energetic and loves to greet everyone who will let him.
About: I grew up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix and loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit, I love to walk them both! I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for them. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, and have switched careers to work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family! I have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule is open and flexible - I can be available almost any time with some notice. Send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP! I will ensure to adhere to any dog schedules/routines, send regular photo/text updates upon client request, and care for your dogs like my own. I will do everything in my power to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect frequent and thorough communication - don’t be afraid to leave detailed lists/notes of exactly how you want your dog cared for. I will do my best to mimic how you care for your pet to ease any distress and make your absence as enjoyable as possible for them.

“Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.”


About: Besides being the go-to dog sitter for neighbors and family ever since I can remember, the past 30+ years I have fostered Golden Retrievers for 3 rescue groups, specializing in seniors and dogs with a not so pleasant past. In the past I have owned Dachshunds, German Shorthair Pointers, German Shepard mix, and of course Golden Retrievers. Being retired, I am able to give my dogs and my guest dogs plenty of attention with lots of activities to keep everyone busy.

“It is so nice to be able to leave your pet and know that they are loved and cared for while you are away. Lyndsey is great at communicating and send updates frequently, which definitely gives me peace of mind ❤️”

“Josie has been responsive and is very kind and provided a lot of reassurance my first time leaving Winston for the day. He enjoyed playing and being outdoors running around the backyard. He comes home tired and is always happy and excited to see Josie.”

“Chris was terrific with Willow and very accommodating to our schedule. Love that he sent pics and updates throughout day. Willow must have had a great day because she was worn out when she got home😄 Thank you Chris!”

I’ve helped deliver and care for puppies and kittens.

Both my girls are in school so I have a lot of free time I’d love to use on with helping some furbabies 💕 I live in an apartment right of the millrace so we love walls on the trail! We also love going to the dog park here in goshen because it’s always empty. I will make sure your furbaby is very well cared for in the time they are with me 💕

“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”

“Jamie was once again wonderful. Her communication is great, with multiple photo updates throughout the day. My dogs always come home happy and sleepy. Can’t recommend her enough.”

About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.

I am currently doing this as my full time employment as I go to school for pet grooming in the spring. I am an owner to 4 crazy beagles so I know what it's like to make sure pets have the stress free environment when we are gone. All pet care is done in the client's home. This creates more calmness within the pet and less stress. They can be where they are used to.

I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. From secure handling and attentive supervision to maintaining a calm, clean space, I make sure pets feel protected and at ease. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pets, creating an environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and currently have an 8-year-old Golden Retriever that I’ve raised since she was a puppy. I’ve also cared for dogs for family members, friends, and neighbors over the years, providing them with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m currently enrolled in IUK and I’m trying to occupy my extra time by helping others with their pets! I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I have a golden retriever at home, so your pet could have a friend to play with! She’s a sweetheart. I’m very attentive, so if your fur baby has specific needs all you have to do is let me know. I will treat them as if they were my fur baby!

“Melanie was very responsible and Roxy loved her! She took her on an extra long walk and fed her and left everything very tidy and clean. Melanie is very communicative and highly trustworthy! I recommend her fully!”

About: I’ve always been asked to take care of animals by friends and family. I’ve always been asked to pet sit due to my love for animals and my ability to love them as my own. I’m currently working part time and am taking college classes online at Western Governors University! I enjoy the flexibility of pet sitting and how well it works with my schedule and how I also get to build bonds with animals! Fenced in yard with two cats. We do not accept animals that have no experience with cats/ dogs not get along with cats. We also require meet and greets to provide the best care for your animals make sure our home is a good fit.
About: What sets me apart from others on Rover, is I take this line of work seriously and I usually go above in beyond. If I am selected to sleep at the house you can expect me to actually sleep there. For every one of my client's I have always slept the night until the end. If a puppy is on site I do continue to train the basics, unless other skills are specified to be trained. I love to keep them active and happy! I spend all my free time with your fur baby! I love to give them time to play and run. I enjoy taking them for walks, or giving them a bath! For boarding, I do not have a fenced yard, but I have an electric fence along with an additional collar. If that is not acceptable to you then I will keep the dog on a regular leash during potty breaks. I have two fur babies of my own that do wonderful with new dogs, they love to play! I live in a suburban neighborhood with a perfect loop to take walks. I can also provide a large crate if needed, otherwise the pet will sleep with me. I do allow them on my bed :) For house sitting+dog, I would follow any instruction given to me! Otherwise I assume the dog is yard trained and won’t bolt across the street. If this is a concern of yours then I ask to please provide me with a leash, thank you! If you do not allow your pets on your furniture then I will continue that behavior for you.

“Katelin was wonderful with our 3 yr old corgi poo Lucy while we were out of town! We received photos of her regularly and loved that she and her family were so interactive with her. Lucy was well taken care of, we are grateful! Thank you Katelin!”

“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”

“10/10 Alejandra is a trustworthy and kind person. She handled my dog exceptionally well. It was his first time being at a dog sitter, and I highly recommend Alejandra. She and her husband take great care of everything. They spend ample time on playtime, walks, and other activities. My dog was thoroughly happy. I have a challenging dog, but Alejandra handled him exceptionally well and is truly amazing. She is also flexible with timings, dog essentials, and other matters. She is the kindest person I have ever met.”

“There are dog sitters, and then there are people who truly become part of your dog's life. For quite a while now, my weekends have slowly become my weekdays—early mornings, long shifts, and the quiet rhythm of doing what needs to be done. In the midst of all of that, there is always Paige. And as any dog owner understands, our dogs are never "just dogs." They are love, trust, comfort, and pieces of our hearts that walk beside us through life. That is why I cannot say enough wonderful things about these incredible puppy sitters. From the very beginning, Paige was not simply watched over—she was welcomed, understood, and loved. Their care extends far beyond food, potty breaks, and supervision. They genuinely invest themselves in the dogs they care for, and it shows in every interaction, every update, and every photo they send. Even when Paige wasn't feeling her best, they met her with extra comfort, special food, patience, and care, giving me a peace of mind that is difficult to put into words. What I appreciate most is not only how deeply they care for her, but how much they help her grow. Through gentle guidance, structure, socialization, and opportunities to learn from mature, well-behaved dogs, Paige continues to become calmer, more confident, and more comfortable in herself. Their home provides so much more than pet sitting. It provides safety, growth, companionship, encouragement, and love. As someone whose life often requires being in many places at once, there is a profound comfort in knowing that while I am caring for others, someone else is caring for Paige with the same attentiveness and devotion I would hope to give her myself. That kind of peace is rare. Paige and I are grateful beyond words—not simply because they care for her so well, but because they care for her with their whole hearts. Thank you, Jennifer and Larry W., for the extraordinary impact you have made. The comfort, reassurance, care, wisdom, and generosity you have shared have left a lasting imprint that will be carried with profound gratitude. Some gifts cannot be measured by what is given, but by what is felt, and for that, we will always be thankful.”

“Lyndsey took such amazing care of Blue! I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless experience. Lyndsey gave so many great updates of Blue having the time of his life. Would highly recommend Lyndsey to take care of your dog”

“This was Lucy’s first extended stay with Andrew and Jane and they definitely treated her like one of their own. She got lots of love, snuggs, and playtime with her friends. Andrew and Jane sent loads of photos and video updates and were extremely accommodating when our travel was delayed and we needed a later pickup time. We will be using them for all of Lucy’s boarding and daycare needs.”

“Paul and Kelly (and kids) did a great job caring for our puppies. When we arrived for pickup, our puppies were happy and energetic. Paul and Kelly were very receptive to following our dogs’ schedules. We will definitely take them back to Paul, Kelly and the kids!”


“Aricela was an awesome host. Both our cat and dog stayed with her for more than two weeks and returned home in great condition. Aricela sent daily pictures of each animal, and both appeared to be happy and enjoying themselves. Our family is greatly appreciative of the care Aricela provided to our animals while we were out of town.”

“Lindsey was very professional and put us at ease as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. We were also worried that our dog may have anxiety as my husband and I are his third home. But Lindsey sent us updates and pictures, it’s was a good experience! Thank you Lindsey?”


“Kim and her whole family took amazing care of Pulcinella and Steve! She kept me up to date of their activities with lots of pictures. The boys had an amazing visit!”

“Cinthia did an amazing job caring for my cats! she immediately communicated with me about how they were adjusting, sent photos, and was very friendly and easygoing when I reached out on short notice. My cats loved her and her kids!”

“Very friendly and accommodating. Clean house and taken care of. She was able to accommodate an extra night due to travel issues. 10/10 would recommend and book again. Sent daily pictures and videos as well.”

“Fantastic! She took great in-home care of our high energy pups who usually struggle with separation anxiety - they did not! They were happy and well adjusted when we returned. She even replaced their treats - above and beyond. Thank you!”

“Emily was amazing! Gigi had the best time with Emily and her other pups while I was out of town. I appreciated how communicative Emily was during Gigi’s stay, especially because she sent so many pictures and videos of Gigi. I was so happy with how much fun Gigi was having. I’ll definitely book her again!”
