“Lyndsey took great care of our dog while we were away. She has a great property that she took our dog on many walks on along with a fenced in back yard where our dog could play freely. Our dog came home a worn out pup! Lyndsey also texted daily with updates and pictures. It was the first time we used Rover, and she made it a great experience. We will rebook with her in the future!”
“Alexis was fantastic. She provided daily photos and updates, kept me informed about how Bella and Coco were doing, and even reached out when Coco wasn’t eating to make sure she got the right care. Highly recommend!”
“Very thankful to have found Nancy and Gene. They took incredible care of Luke and kept me updated several times a day. I could tell Luke loved being there. Now travel isn’t as stressful when I know I have a second home for Luke.”
“Omg Anne was simply amazing and super easy to work with. She was able to accommodate me while my plans changed and allowed me to be able to put my mind at ease knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of. I will be using her on an ongoing basis and I strongly recommend her to care for your pets any day of the week. I appreciate this app so much!!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”

“Mindi did a great job. Gizmo needed extra care due to his age she handled it like a pro! Gizmo needed meds and used an inhaler and had an ear infection at the time. I highly recommend Mindi she is very attentive and takes special care when dog sitting!”
“April and her family were great hosts for our dog. Finn got much attention. I appreciated the photos April sent as well. I knew Finn was in good hands. Thanks.”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”
“My pup slept all night after I got her back so I know she had fun playing with the other pups. Good contact during the stay with photos. Happy with my visit and last minute availability.”
“Alisha is very kind and treats her dog guests like they are her own. She even allowed Ranji to sleep with her. He seemed to really love it there despite struggling with separation anxiety in the past. He came home so tired after playing at her house the entire time which is great because he can be high energy. Alisha communicates well and sent us a picture of Ranji while we were away.”
“Anna provided the most impeccable care for my fur babies while I was out of town. She provided numerous pictures and went above and beyond in ensuring I was comfortable while they were there.”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“One of the best! Ted was well taken care of during his stay. Great communication and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable leaving Ted with Agnatha and her family. No doubt in my mind I will use her again when needed. Extremely professional and unlike a lot of others she followed Ted's feeding restrictions. Thanks to Agnatha and her family!”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“Millie was great with my smooth brained, high energy bull terrier. She sent updates and photos every day, and wasn't bothered by his need for constant attention. I really appreciated her communication and patience. I'd absolutely book with her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Jaela! I’m an elementary school teacher, and animals of all ages and sizes have been the absolute center of my world for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by a wide variety of animals, which taught me from a very young age how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide compassionate, patient care. Throughout high school and college, I regularly watched and walked dogs and cats. I love house sitting because it allows your pets to stay completely relaxed in their own environment while maintaining their exact daily routines. I come from a family of veterinarians, so I grew up immersed in the world of animal health, safety, and care.
“Bree was awesome and the cats appeared to like her also. She sent pictures and even took out the trash. We will be using her services again. It is so relaxing to be away and know that your pets are happy and well taken care of. I can't say enough about Bree.”
“Jennifer was amazing with my two cats. My cats have very different personalities, one is extremely outgoing and friendly, and the other is sweet but very shy. She worked with both to make sure they were healthy and taken care of without making my shy girl too nervous. And she provided plenty of photos!”
“Arita did an awesome dropping in on our golden this week! She took her on walks everyday, gave us pictures and feedback! We can tell our golden enjoys her! We would recommend Arita again and again!”

“Amara was so kind! She watched my cat for a few days when I was out of town. She was communicative, friendly, and gentle with my cat. I trusted she would give the best care to my pet and she did not disappoint. She even left me a little welcome home card and gift 🩷🐾 I was very happy!”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my girls. I received a picture every day and that reassured me that the girls were doing okay. I will definitely be having Taylor watch my girls again!”
“Hayley is super nice! Things seemed to go smoothly with her visits with our kitty. She brought in a package for us that I wasn't expecting, so thanks so much for that! Left the place just as we left it.”
“Michelle was awesome! She is very genuine and loves animals. She took great care of our kitty Hazel. She completed all of the visits as planned and sent great images and messages about the visit. She made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will request her again!”

About: I am an avid animal lover and find joy in spending time with animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and farm animals! I am a vegetarian and love forming connections with pets and animals. My very first paycheck earned was after cat sitting for my neighbor at 10 years old. Since then I have worked over night as a house sitter/pet sitter, drop-in pet feeder, and have raised and litter box trained my own three cats since they were just a few weeks/months old. I am capable of walking dogs in all weather, playing with and interacting with animals, and cleaning up after the messes they can make. I utilize open communication with all pet families and owners. One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a very caring nature and have worked full time as a nanny for young children and babies since 2019. Transparent communication and love are my specialities! I am working part time during the week and would be available to provide services before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm. I am typically pretty available on the weekends at any time as well. I am not able to provide pet care in my home for others. I am comfortable caring for your pet at your home and in your neighborhood. I have trusting references for my experience and professionalism.
About: I have taken care of many different animals, including reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals. I have some of my own even and I enjoy giving them the best life that I can provide. Working with animals has always been my passion. They deserve just as much as us :) I have a very flexible schedule. I have my own transportation and am very good with time management and scheduling. I will always have time to get my clients requests completed. I prioritize my clients wants and needs and will not go beyond their directions. I will compassionately care for your home and animals as I do my own. I love cleaning and organizing and will do extra tasks as requested.

“Nancy (& her husband) were abundantly caring and great with my Australian Shepard! I highly recommend letting them care for your dog for any duration. Updates were provided multiple times daily. Every activity was shared all with detail. Thank you!”
“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”

Bobby was very comfortable at her house and did so well! Bobby loves her and I know she loves him! We will definitely be using Agnatha again!”

“Stephanie did great watching our pup. We needed a sitter last minute and she was quick to respond & help out. She took Harley on a walk and sent us update pics. Harley was exhausted when she got home which is not an easy thing to do, so she must have had fun. We will definitely be using Stephanie again.”

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

I have sat for many senior pets, puppies, kittens and multiple animals at once. I prefer to sit for small-medium breeds, but will sit for large breeds if there’s only one and they are not difficult to walk. I bring over 30 years of experience in house/pet sitting. I have bonded with so many sweet pets (of all ages, sizes and breeds (please see my 5 star reviews under my photos). I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, therefore I have no trouble driving up to 16 hours to do a house sit, depending on where I am at the moment. I have extensive experience with gardening, plant care, and yard maintenance. I worked as a florist for 10 years and have always had a garden and eclectic selection of plants of my own. Finally, I love photography and will most likely send you lots of cute photos of your pets.

I will care for your pet in your home and can stay up to 1-3 months if I’m traveling.

I’m unable to allow cats/dogs into my own home at the time!
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have a special place in my heart for them. From elderly to puppies I will give your dog the attentive care it needs! I’ve always treated my dogs as family and i’ll do the same with yours! I’m a college student so I have a flexible schedule! It will be my priority to make sure your pet is safe and cared for. Taking care of my own pets has always been a privilege for me! I take my own dog on walks and give him at least 30 minutes of play time each day.
About: I have taken care of many different animals, including reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals. I have some of my own even and I enjoy giving them the best life that I can provide. Working with animals has always been my passion. They deserve just as much as us :) I have a very flexible schedule. I have my own transportation and am very good with time management and scheduling. I will always have time to get my clients requests completed. I prioritize my clients wants and needs and will not go beyond their directions. I will compassionately care for your home and animals as I do my own. I love cleaning and organizing and will do extra tasks as requested.
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.

“Lyndsey took great care of our dog while we were away. She has a great property that she took our dog on many walks on along with a fenced in back yard where our dog could play freely. Our dog came home a worn out pup! Lyndsey also texted daily with updates and pictures. It was the first time we used Rover, and she made it a great experience. We will rebook with her in the future!”
“Alexis was fantastic. She provided daily photos and updates, kept me informed about how Bella and Coco were doing, and even reached out when Coco wasn’t eating to make sure she got the right care. Highly recommend!”
“Omg Anne was simply amazing and super easy to work with. She was able to accommodate me while my plans changed and allowed me to be able to put my mind at ease knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of. I will be using her on an ongoing basis and I strongly recommend her to care for your pets any day of the week. I appreciate this app so much!!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
About: We provide residential boarding in both our house and finished barn depending on availability and needs. You can schedule a tour. Drop off and pick up time as early as 7am and 11pm. Playtime in the yard is included. You can pay extra for a daily walk. Charged a flat rate per night. Updates available during stay. All dogs are welcome small, big, young, old, friendly, and we are also capable of caring for aggressive dogs. As a family business, my wife Valerie is home during the day to care for clients and I’m home in the evening and weekends to assist. Client needs are met with compassion and knowledge. Care is discussed in detailed and documented. Updates are sent as requested. Dogs in the house must be able to be crated, otherwise the large indoor/outdoor runs in the barn are a better option.
“April and her family were great hosts for our dog. Finn got much attention. I appreciated the photos April sent as well. I knew Finn was in good hands. Thanks.”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”
“Alisha is very kind and treats her dog guests like they are her own. She even allowed Ranji to sleep with her. He seemed to really love it there despite struggling with separation anxiety in the past. He came home so tired after playing at her house the entire time which is great because he can be high energy. Alisha communicates well and sent us a picture of Ranji while we were away.”
“Anna provided the most impeccable care for my fur babies while I was out of town. She provided numerous pictures and went above and beyond in ensuring I was comfortable while they were there.”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“One of the best! Ted was well taken care of during his stay. Great communication and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable leaving Ted with Agnatha and her family. No doubt in my mind I will use her again when needed. Extremely professional and unlike a lot of others she followed Ted's feeding restrictions. Thanks to Agnatha and her family!”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“Millie was great with my smooth brained, high energy bull terrier. She sent updates and photos every day, and wasn't bothered by his need for constant attention. I really appreciated her communication and patience. I'd absolutely book with her again.”
“Alexx and Tyler made us feel safe with our choice. They treated our pup, Bellatrix, as if she was their own. She even seemed hesitant to leave them after the four day weekend she spent there. They were friendly and flexible with times for both drop off and pick up. They reassured us early in our travel while also ensuring we had peace of mind on our vacation. 10 out of 10 we'll book again”
