“Had Sarah watch my 2 year old Great Dane Roscoe. She was a great sitter and will definitely be using her again when the time arises. He come home happy and healthy after his 3 night stay. Sarah is also very good at communicating and was always quick to respond when I would check up on my boy.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
“Indy and Lex loved staying with Gerard! They were very comfortable with him and settled into their routine without issues. He was reliable, easy to communicate with, and treated them like his own! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
“Douglas and Katherine were absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve been away from my little guy and they treated him like one of their babies! They sent pictures everyday and my little guy was so happy and comfortable! It made going on our trip so much easier! Thank you!!”
“John took excellent care of Ginger for a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday. She does have a bit of separation anxiety but he made sure she got plenty of attention. Sent us pictures and reports throughout her visit.”
“This is the second time I have used Samantha for my puppy Beckett. He stayed two nights with Samantha. She does a great job with Beckett. He runs excitedly into her house which tells me he is treated well. She is very accommodating, we had to change our times a little bit and Samantha worked with us on that. I am already scheduled to use Samantha again.”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maddlyn took such great care of my cats and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Cats can be difficult to care for since they often take longer to adjust to new people, but she was incredibly patient and understanding the entire time. If you're looking for a local, affordable, and trustworthy pet sitter, I highly recommend booking with Maddlyn. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a young girls. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends for many years.

I have a lot of free time both on weekdays and weekends to be able to care for your pets! I prioritize being able to let your pet stay where they feel comfortable. That is why I think it’s best for me to travel to your home. I want to try and keep your pet on their normal schedule.
“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”
“Kept me up to date on how my dog was doing while we were out of the country for a couple of weeks, and took good care of my senior dog while we were away. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I grew up around untrained dogs, not afraid of any animal. I had two cats of my own and raised them from kittens so I’m great with cats!! I am nice and patient and have never been one for caging in animals unless it’s to travel to appointments, so your little loved ones will always be free to wander with me. I like to give them freedom to explore. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I like to play a lot and encourage activities. I try to put on interactive games and toys are highly encouraged to bring! I do freelance work so if I’m pet sitting your baby will be the number one priority!

“I APPRECIATE PENNY MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY!! SHE IS EXCELLENT AT CARING FOR KHLOE... SHE TAKES HER WORK SERIOUSLY & IT SHOWS. THANK YOU, PENNY, FOR MAKING ME FEEL COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE LEAVING KHLOE WITH YOU ❣️❣️”
About: I love animals so much! I understand how scary it can be to trust someone new with your beloved pets, I have three cats of my own who I would do anything for. I have dog sat in home and visited homes for potty breaks, I have also walked dogs, volunteered at my local humane society and fostered animals! I also work at a veterinary clinic and have lots of hands on experience in the field. Rest assured any emergencies would be handled efficiently. I check on all my animals multiple times a week, I love to cuddle and love on any animals and give them tons of attention. I really enjoy basic training and walking with them! I feed detailed and thoughtful meals and spend quality time with any pet I am with. I do have a job that requires me to work many days during the week, but it doesn’t affect my ability to tend to animals in my care. My husband is also readily available to assist me whenever needed. He is just as much of a lover as I am and is currently in school for Veterinary Medicine. I feed them 2-3x daily, change their water every day, offer treats and plenty of outdoor time. I make sure everything they need is handled every day. I can administer medications and provide more in depth care due to my extensive experience.

“We needed Ashley last minute for a drop in visit; she is very quick with communicating and was able to help us in a pinch. We’re thankful to have someone to check in on our babies when needed!”
“Emma was amazing! She always updated me on my kittens and even sent me little videos of them playing! Her updates were always detailed and she answered any questions you had during the drop-ins! She even scooped the litter, gave them their meds, and cleaned the few accidents that popped up! At the end of the week, she even took out the used litter, washed the boxes, and replaced the litter! Seriously stellar! I recommend her 100%!”
“Elizabeth is excellent! She is very reliable and professional. She helped me take care of my cat for a month when I traveled internationally. She followed my instructions well and beyond. She offered extra help when unexpected situations happened. I greatly appreciate her help!”
“Ashlyn did I wonderful job of taking care of my cat! Hired her for drop in visits and she did amazing. Very attentive to instructions and great communication. My kitty loved her and I would definitely recommend her/will be using her in the future if I need to!”
“I haven’t had to leave my cats for more than a weekend in years so I was a bit nervous! But Declan was fabulous - I loved the daily updates and found that I was looking forward to the pictures every day that I was gone! And on a pet level, Declan managed to befriend my most skeptical cat, and even expand the group of people whose lap she will voluntarily sit on to a whopping three people. So, he definitely passed the vibe check! The other cat at one point attempted to go home with him, lol. Declan was super communicative and definitely made it a lot easier to not worry about the cats, will definitely book him again when needed!”

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I've been a volunteer at Midwest Pet Refuge for almost a year, working with cats of every age, temperament, and background. For the past 8 months, I've also been a cat foster, giving both kittens and adults a safe, loving place to land, I've cared for shy cats, spicy cats, and even day-old bottle babies, so I'm very comfortable with high-needs or fragile kitties who require extra patience and attention. I understand cat body language, respect their boundaries, and take the time to earn their trust. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, a calm presence, or someone who knows how to handle special care routines, I'm here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your cat will be treated like family - because that's exactly how I see them.
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and have years of experience understanding their unique personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and giving cats the patience and affection they need while their owners are away. I also have dogs who love cats, so I’m familiar with creating a calm and safe environment for feline friends. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their comfort and well being.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a child! We used to live in a rural area and there was a little of kittens on an annual basis. I spent so much time with every litter and we kept most of them as our own pets. we currently have our own senior cat that we rescued this past winter, and my soul cat lived to be 21 years old. For fun, my best friend and I used to go to the cat rooms at the shelters to spend time with the cats- something I still do with my daughter today!
About: Hi! I'm Sami, and I am THRILLED to meet your loved one. ME AS A SITTER: My number one priority while caring for your loved one is their comfort. I believe having patience and allowing your pet to make the first move is important when first establishing a routine or any sort of bond. Anything you or your loved one needs for our time together, I'm there for it all! I have always had a passion for animals and find it an absolute blessing to spend time with any and all. WHAT I CAN DO: I am comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. This includes pets that need medication, special dietary restrictions, or even pets that don't like to be too close but need a little company- I'm just happy to meet your pet no matter what they need! MY CAT BACKGROUND: I'm currently taking care of and slowly bonding with a feral calico cat my family rescued from a car hood, and it's already taught me so much about patience and trust with cats that need a lot more than your typical attention. I have been taking care of her for a few months now and can't wait to continue to grow with her. Before this, I housesat for family friends for over a week, during which I cared for their 3 cats and 1 dog, feeding twice a day and making sure they got plenty of playtime throughout the day. This also included me caring for their house and plants, doing general upkeep throughout the week. I also have experience caring for a sweet but playful grey tabby in my home in Indiana. While shared with 5 adults, holiday breaks were spent just me and the cat, which is honestly where my favorite memories of us come from! I have given pets medication many times, including wound care, vet visits, and special feeding instructions. You can see pictures of my grey tabby in his cone after he got fixed (and unfortunately had to be on antibiotics) on my page!

If you're looking for a local, affordable, and trustworthy pet sitter, I highly recommend booking with Maddlyn. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“As I am sure most pet parents considering a pet sitter are, I think of my pets as my babies. I was getting really stressed out about leaving my 3 cats for 3 days and finding someone to watch them. I was so relieved when I found a sitter and it was an amazing experience. They sent photos, videos, and kept open communication. I felt like my cats were in great hands the entire time and while I was excited to come home, I felt less nervous about being away. I am definitely going to be using them in the future again and would recommend them to anyone.”

I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk.

I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

“Had Sarah watch my 2 year old Great Dane Roscoe. She was a great sitter and will definitely be using her again when the time arises. He come home happy and healthy after his 3 night stay. Sarah is also very good at communicating and was always quick to respond when I would check up on my boy.”
“You can count on Steve. He really is a great human being who truly will take CARE of your four-legger. Titan loves you, Steve, and thanks you for a safe and fun second home while mommy was away from Indiana working hard to pay for the kibbles. God bless and thank you!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
“Indy and Lex loved staying with Gerard! They were very comfortable with him and settled into their routine without issues. He was reliable, easy to communicate with, and treated them like his own! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
“Douglas and Katherine were absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve been away from my little guy and they treated him like one of their babies! They sent pictures everyday and my little guy was so happy and comfortable! It made going on our trip so much easier! Thank you!!”
“John took excellent care of Ginger for a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday. She does have a bit of separation anxiety but he made sure she got plenty of attention. Sent us pictures and reports throughout her visit.”
“This is the second time I have used Samantha for my puppy Beckett. He stayed two nights with Samantha. She does a great job with Beckett. He runs excitedly into her house which tells me he is treated well. She is very accommodating, we had to change our times a little bit and Samantha worked with us on that. I am already scheduled to use Samantha again.”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maddlyn took such great care of my cats and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Cats can be difficult to care for since they often take longer to adjust to new people, but she was incredibly patient and understanding the entire time. If you're looking for a local, affordable, and trustworthy pet sitter, I highly recommend booking with Maddlyn. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a young girls. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends for many years. I have two pets of my own, so I will make it my priority to treat your pet like family. I am a full time student with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of free time both on weekdays and weekends to be able to care for your pets! I prioritize being able to let your pet stay where they feel comfortable. That is why I think it’s best for me to travel to your home. I want to try and keep your pet on their normal schedule.
“Kept me up to date on how my dog was doing while we were out of the country for a couple of weeks, and took good care of my senior dog while we were away. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I grew up around untrained dogs, not afraid of any animal. I had two cats of my own and raised them from kittens so I’m great with cats!! I am nice and patient and have never been one for caging in animals unless it’s to travel to appointments, so your little loved ones will always be free to wander with me. I like to give them freedom to explore. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I like to play a lot and encourage activities. I try to put on interactive games and toys are highly encouraged to bring! I do freelance work so if I’m pet sitting your baby will be the number one priority! Open space apartment, I like to be outside a lot so I will spend a majority of time allowing your pet to be free and safe if they’re an outside animal. We have local shops within a mile that allow cats so if you’re open, I can allow your pet to go for outdoor time.
About: I love animals so much! I understand how scary it can be to trust someone new with your beloved pets, I have three cats of my own who I would do anything for. I have dog sat in home and visited homes for potty breaks, I have also walked dogs, volunteered at my local humane society and fostered animals! I also work at a veterinary clinic and have lots of hands on experience in the field. Rest assured any emergencies would be handled efficiently. I check on all my animals multiple times a week, I love to cuddle and love on any animals and give them tons of attention. I really enjoy basic training and walking with them! I feed detailed and thoughtful meals and spend quality time with any pet I am with. I do have a job that requires me to work many days during the week, but it doesn’t affect my ability to tend to animals in my care. My husband is also readily available to assist me whenever needed. He is just as much of a lover as I am and is currently in school for Veterinary Medicine. I feed them 2-3x daily, change their water every day, offer treats and plenty of outdoor time. I make sure everything they need is handled every day. I can administer medications and provide more in depth care due to my extensive experience.
“Haylie was so wonderful to work with! She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and allowed me to extend Seeley's stay with her family on short notice when we had some unexpected issues. This was his second time staying with Haylie, and I am sure it won't be his last!”
