“We had used a few dog boarding before and Marietta has the best setting at home with a nice fenced backyard. It was clean and safe for puppies. Definitely will use her service again.”
“I was happy to find Chris when I needed to leave my dachshund with someone other than family for the first time while on a longer trip! Communication was good, I received a daily picture, and Chris was proactive about dealing with fireworks over the 4th of July. My little buddy seemed to have a good time there, and Chris managed his daily and monthly meds. I'm glad to have found someone so close to where I live also!!”
“Rajesh was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment I left my pup, I knew he was in great hands. He treated him like family and went above and beyond by sending daily updates with photos and videos. It meant so much to see how happy and well cared for my dog was. I would 100% book with him again!”
“Mallory was awesome with my mini goldendoodle Bella. She took her to the dog park daily, gave her lots of cuddling time and made Bella feel right at home. You can tell that Mallory truly loves dogs. I highly recommend her!”
“We were so pleased to have Jane take care of our dog over the holidays. She provided daily photos, videos and updates. Milo was clearly happy in her care and we would definitely have him stay with her again!”
“Gwen is great! It’s easier to enjoy a vacation when I know my dog is comfortable and well cared-for. Thanks for taking excellent care of Happy and helping her to feel comfortable and safe while we were gone.”
“This was our first time using Amy; we went on a short overnight trip. Amy gave us three updates in the time we were away. She also responded quickly when I let her know we were unexpectedly able to pick Zetta up a couple hours earlier than planned. Zetta seemed happy and Amy and her son Eli both seemed taken with her - and Zetta seemed comfortable with them. Amy also seemed conscientious about following the written instructions I’d left for her re: Zetta’s exercise limitations and medication.”
“We knew Kailly was the right person as soon as we met her. She was down on the ground getting kisses from our English Bulldog. From the updates and pictures she sent us, it was clear he was “quite comfortable” at Kailly’s place! We weren’t sure he would come home with us. We aren’t sure where we might go non vacation next, but we know Frank will be staying with Kailly!”
“Janay and her family took such great care of our fur baby! I don't think she wanted to come home. I am so grateful we were able to relax on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. Janey sent plenty of pics and remained in communication our whole stay”
“Candie was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my pups and she made it such an easy experience. She sent me pictures every day, updated me, she made my nerves calm a lot. For sure taking my pups to her again!”
“Lisa took such great care of my pups. I could tell they had a great time from the pictures and how they behaved when they came back home to me. She’s also great at communicating and a happy, wonderful person to work with. 12 out of 10!”
“Goose had a great time with Mary. She was easy to work with and sent pictures and updates about how Goose was doing throughout his time there. We would happily have Goose stay there again!”
“Karen is very kind. I feel very comfortable leaving my small dog with her. I would definitely use her again. Kallie is a lap dog and I have not left her in over a year and a half because of Covid. Karen let Kallie sit in her lap and gave her the love and attention that she craves.”
“Josh has watched our dogs a few times and has done a great job. They adore him and it feels so good to leave them with someone we trust. They get good exercise and we love getting pictures of them!”
“Another great experience with Gabriel. Barnaby wagged his tail when we first arrived at Gabriel's house so we know he was excited to stay. Gabriel communicated regularly and sent photos each day. He kindly accommodated our last-minute scheduling change. We really appreciate the care and attention Gabriel provides. Absolutely 5 stars.”

“Thos was my first time using a dog sitter and Rover. I was nervous. Claire was great a reassuring me, assisting with using Rover to adjust my original request, and sending me pictures to show how she was doing. She reached out regarding issues and worked to get Cinnamon to adjust to her. I appreciated her greatly! Would definitely use River and Claire again.”
“Elizabeth was amazing she was thorough and left everything looking fabulous. We had an issue with our cat hiding because my husband left a door to the bathroom open and she was thorough and came back and found him in the closet which was completely our fault but she took time out of her schedule to locate Theo sleeping soundly in the closet. We will be using her again and would like to hire her for our next trip in October.”
“Another time away from our kitties and we felt very comfortable with Mary taking charge. She communicates very well and send pic everyday. Thanks Mary, we’ll be in touch again!”
“Brittney has been wonderful on our recent trip. We reached out to her for a last-minute vacation and she quickly learned everything about our home and pets. Brittney was very responsive to our calls and texts and sent pictures during visits and overnights. We plan on hiring her again for future trips. Thank you, Brittney!!!”
“Alexis is amazing!!! She was wonderful with my 3 small dogs. I had originally had someone scheduled to stay with my dogs but that sitter canceled on me 2 days prior to my trip. Alexis agreed to drop in visits for us. With my little pups I needed someone every 3-4 hours and she was willing which is a big ask, that is a lot of time out of her day and family time especially around the Holidays. I am so grateful to have found her. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be scheduling with Alexis again.”
“Halie did a wonderful job dropping in on our diabetic cat twice per day (feeding, injecting, and giving our cat her love and attention). We're so glad we found her, and will not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I have ample experience watching my friend's energetic dog. At first he was shy around me, but I was able to gain his trust and now we're buddies! :) I am doing only gig work at the moment while I am learning languages and upskilling. My schedule is very flexible and that allows me to adapt to your pet's specific needs. I pay close attention to promptings from the pet of needing additional attention and care. I also pay attention for feedback on the pet's feelings about their food.
“Madison is definitely warming up to Jasmine. Madison ring in the same room with someone other than me when I’m not there is a HUGE testament to the care provided by Jasmine!”
“Kathryn was responsive and had no problem with my specific requests! I have a skittish rescue and she made sure to give both pups time and attention and keep them safe and sound while we were out of town. As an anxious pet parent I appreciate it!”
“Zoe was absolutely incredible. She met with us beforehand to make sure everyone was at ease with the arrangement. She spent plenty of time with our cats at each visit and took plenty of pictures to make sure they got some love and attention. On top of all that, she seemed like a genuine and caring person. We will be happy to use her again in the future and you should too!”
“Scott took great care of my very anxious golden retriever! Scott was reliable and kept Meeko on his schedule. He text me about his visits and sent me pictures. He not only let him out, he played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk. He even got Meeko to eat his food, which never happens when I am away! I highly recommend Scott and will definitely be using him again!”
“Kyla is so contentious - she kept me posted when her schedule altered from our requested times. I appreciate her great communication. I will certainly use her again in the future.”
“I have booked Bryanna 6 times to take care of my cat, for stays ranging from 3 days to more than 2 weeks. The experience has continued to improve as she spends more time with my cat and understands his needs better. She is caring, and she has gone above and beyond by bringing a few toys from her home to keep my cat entertained when he gets bored with his own toys. She refreshes water, plays, refills food, gives treats, lets my cat out on the patio for fresh air, and helps with grooming. On some visits she was able to spend extra time with him, which I really appreciate. Time and punctuality: It is good to be aware, her visit window can vary based on her schedule.”
About: I grew up with huskies all my life and now have had a cat of my own for 8 years! You can find me with the pets at any social gathering! I love all pets big and small! I do go into the office 5 days a week but the hours are a bit flexible! I’m free evenings and weekends to help with your pets! I’ve grew up with a large fenced in yard, so I have experience with that but currently living in an apartments in Fishers! So I know how to navigate and make the most of both environments.

“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a college student and student-athlete with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience dog sitting, walking, and bathing dogs of different sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently have a part-time job with very flexible hours, which allows me to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and any other care your pet may need. I enjoy staying active, so spending time with pets is something I genuinely look forward to each day! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping it clean. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“River quickly warmed up to Joseph and was able to cover short notice walks for her this week. Highly recommend him to take care of your pet when life keeps you busy. Will use his services again.”

I've spent years caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and following specific routines to meet each pet's needs. I am currently home for the summer from college, so i can be available whenever it is needed! Pet care can be fitted in my daily routine while i am home. I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and happiness by following their routine, providing plenty of attention and exercise, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“Alexis walked our pups twice a day Monday- Friday for two months. She was so reliable and dependable and always communicated if she would be delayed. Our pups loved her and always ran to the back door to greet her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and dependable dog walker.”
“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”
“Mari was great with our pet, Mali G. He is quick to respond and Mali G really enjoyed their walks this week. We received the report cards and it was easy to communicate via the Rover app. We look forward to having our pet in good hands with Mari the next time, he is great with pets!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenn! I worked for more than 10 years at a local animal hospital as a receptionist and vet assistant. I have more than 20 years experience in the animal care field between volunteering and my career. I have regular pet sitting clients and am looking to expand upon that. I was the proud mama of two fur babies in my adult life and had lots and lots of pets growing up. I offer boarding and daycare in my home and can also do daily visits in yours. I have experience with dogs and cats of every age, size and breed. I have years of experience administering medications, both oral and injectable. I have cared for my own insulin dependent pet and currently care for many of my clients aging and/or ill pets. I would absolutely love to meet your fur baby! I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I do not have any pets of my own and there are no children living here. I am able to do leash walks multiple times a day as well as scheduled feedings and medication administration. I also have an invisible fence around the entire house and can use my collar (so it is the right frequency) for those pets who are already trained. My home also has a video/security system for added safety for all. I treat all my pet sitting fur babies like family! My four-legged guests have free reign of the house, except the upstairs bedrooms, and are welcome to sit with me and cuddle while we watch TV. 🐾

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for pets for many families. I’ve owned a large dog myself, so I’m comfortable handling bigger breeds as well as dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve cared for senior dogs that needed extra patience and attention, administered oral medications, taken dogs on walks, and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners were away. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I enjoy getting to know each one’s routine and personality. I also enjoy learning about dog grooming and pet care, and I’ve spent time researching proper grooming techniques and overall canine health to better care for the pets I watch. My goal is to take care of every dog extremely well while you’re away. I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I would want for my own pet.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and know how to love and care for each of your pets while you are away. While I do not have any professional dog experience, I’ve had dog in my family since the day I was born and had owned my own dog for about 10 years until she recently passed away. Dogs my family has had were a mutt, three Labradors, Golden Retriever, and a Belgian Malinois. The pet I recently had was a mix of a Labrador and German Short-haired Pointer. I had been to training classes recently for about 3 years as well. I have pet sit cats and lived with cats in the past so I would know how to care for a feline. I will make sure to be very professional, care, and love your pet as if they were my own. Looking for services inside or outside of my home. I currently work full time in Carmel Monday-Friday 8am to 4:30pm and typically have nights and weekends free. I am looking to become more active (I had a senior dog with no ability to walk) so physical activity is welcomed! I have a fenced in yard and walking trails throughout my community. No additional pets. I can easily crate your pet with a collapsible travel crate.
