“This was my first time boarding with Nancy, and everything was great. My dog was very comfortable there, and I felt very reassured with the photos and updates. I felt like Lola had a nice vacation with new friends!”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so kind and understanding. I ended up having an emergency and she was so easy to work with. Also, Freddy absolutely loved her! We got so many pictures and updates, definitely eased my mind while we were away. 100% recommend!!!!!!!!!!”
“Kept in contact with me throughout the dog sitting. I could tell with every picture that was sent, my dogs were having a good time. I definitely will use this dog sitter again.”
“Jordan took great care of our dog! He had a great time playing and making new friends! Jordan sends pictures and updates everyday and I felt safe keeping my fur baby with her! Thank you Jordan and family for loving on Rocky.”
“Due to changes in plans, we reached out for a last minute Christmas puppy sitter, and Nichole was willing to help! And she did amazing. She was attentive to our dogs, able to meet their needs, and was even willing to extend the reservation for another half day. She had the perfect house set up to give out babies what they needed. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll be sure to ask if she’s available!”
“My dog has horrible separation anxiety so I dread trips away from home. Using the warm and cozy home of Janis and Devin was the perfect solution. I received multiple pictures every day. I could tell my dog was happy and feeling a part of the family. When I picked him up he was not crazed and inconsolable. He also has not been extra anxious at home as he usually gets. I will use Janis and Devin again and again. I have the highest esteem and praise for their business. I HIGHLY recommend!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.
“Shanie's dog boarding for my puppy for 2 weeks deserves the highest rating --she sent little reports and photos and videos at least 2x/day which I loved and my puppy loved her home, expansive outdoor area, and all the toys and treats. It was hard for me to leave my puppy but Shanie made it easier and when we need another dog boarder I hope we get Ms. Shanie!!”
“Jesseeka was AMAZING! ❤️ This was our first time using Rover so we were unsure what to expect. Our boy Bryant had a great time playing and snuggling. She communicated regularly and sent pictures. He came home happy and with a cute new bandana. We will definitely book again!”
“Very thankful for Michelle. She watched Louie over the holiday and was very flexible when our schedule kept changing. Louie had a great time during his stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“Our dog had a great vacation at Mary's house. She was very easy to contact, flexible with travel times, and most importantly she took great care of our dog, Georgia! We loved seeing the pics she sent while we were away. Thanks Mary! We'd definitely leave Georgia at your house again.”
“She so sweet. Really take care of my baby, and spent time for him. She always updated his status to me. I love her service and definitely will be back nxt time.”
“Thanks so much for scheduling the meet & greet. And most of all, taking care of my fur baby Zoe. So happy she did so well. Really excited about finding such a great fur mom!! You are so appreciated?❤️ The photos and updates were so very thoughtful and truly beautiful from such a kind soul!”
“Angelique was wonderful to our little meatloaf while we were out of the country. She sent us many photos and kept us updated on anything new. We will definitely go with Angelique if we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!”

“I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She was extremely communicative and it was very obvious how great of a dog mom she is. I felt so happy knowing my baby was in her care. Moose had the best time!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs & cats my entire life. I have experience as a vet assistant. Animals are my passion and not only do I love providing a loving home for my animals but I also know how hard it is to balance work and life in general when you have pets so I want to be able to care and help you with your fur babies as well! I'm currently only working part time so I have a lot of free time to care for your fur babies ! My schedule is pretty open so on my days off I can take last minute requests . I also enjoy being outdoors even if it's just sitting in the backyard with the dogs I have a fenced in yard with a loving yellow Labrador ! Your pup will have fun and will stay safe with plenty of exercise! I do not go on walks without a leash or without your consent.

“Chyanne was very attentive and went the extra mile to make sure my cat was occupied and taken care of while I was gone. She even left a card with treats and a toy. Would highly recommend!!!”
“Shanie was amazing! She was great about checking in on our two cats everyday to make sure they were doing well while we were out of town. One is shy and the other a bit sassy, but she did great with both! She gives great updates with photos of everything and even brought in our packages! Perfect!”
“Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!”
“Meredith is wonderful. She is caring and kind. She managed to befriend our cat within days of meeting. Our cat doesn’t let anyone near with expectation of my mother and me. The cat came out to greet and play with her every day. We were so happy. We felt very comfortable with her in home. Thank you Meredith.”

“This was the first time I’ve ever used a pet sitter. We have an older cat that has kidney issues and we’ve had to switch her to a wet food diet. Last time we went out of town for a two days she lost almost 1/2 a pound of body weight and it took two weeks to get her back to eating normally. So we were concerned about leaving again. Samantha did a great job keeping us updated on how our cat was doing and when we got home she actually gained weight because she was so comfortable and eating normally. I would not hesitate to have Samantha look after our pets again she was so caring and you can tell she truly loves her time with the animals. Excellent job!”
“Niamh provided excellent care for my two cats while I was away. She made sure they had water, fed them some wet food, and cleaned their litter boxes. She made sure to also send me lots of photos of my kitties and gave them lots of love and pets. I highly recommend her!”
About: I do well with all variety of cats, spicy or shy I love them all. I can administer oral medications or injections. Im not quite a cat whisperer but the vast majority of cats do very well with me!
“Finding Nancy has been such a blessing. Words I would use to describe her are: professional, prompt, honest, thorough, caring, and compassionate. I have used her services twice now, and feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my babies. I received daily pictures and notifications from her, and anytime I contacted her she was quick to respond, day or night. She is a keeper in my book and if you are in need of pet care, I give her 5 stars ⭐️”
“Julie is so awesome! The cats are happy with all the attention and we are lucky to have her. Very attentive and loving, I would highly recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Julie!”

About: Your sweeties are in caring hands 💛 ✅ Experience with pets of all ages & personalities. ✅ Work from home: Attentive to strict care plan. ✅ Happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years. Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also cared for exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, ferrets, parakeets, Sun Conure Parrots and farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting”)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. Working from home allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules (if your pet is in need of a regimented care plan). I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking boarding services with new clients, I request a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!
“Michelle was great! She was more than willing to accommodate last minute and very thorough throughout the day with how my dogs were doing. She has a perfect back room that is calm and quiet for pups!”
About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.
“Jacob was amazing! Koal took to Jacob and his family very well and I could tell he was a happy boy ? I was pleased how he sent photos and updates of him. Will be utilizing his services again and again ❤️”
“I love that I came across Jordan’s profile. She is the first person that truly understood my fur baby. She was very informative and she had a great spirit. I will be booking with her from here on out!”

About: Got a cavalier when kids left 20 years ago and have been in love with and taken care of pups for family and friends ever since! I work part time as a sub at a local school lunchroom.

I live in a lovely neighborhood with a nice balance of open space and paths for walks. My husband (also a dog lover) and I have a fenced yard and pup bowls and leashes and toys and even a small crate (from Harley) if your pup feels better taking a nap in it! (and he fits!)
“We can't recommend Julia highly enough! She is caring, considerate and responsive. Our rescue dog has enjoyed doggy day care and weekly walks with her. We appreciate the peace of mind we have leaving our sweet friend in Julia's care.”
“Marcella was great!! It was my first time using Rover for daycare and she was very cooperative and understanding. I had very specific times of drop off and pick up and Marcella was perfectly accommodating. Also, when Marcella first met my dog I knew my dog would be comfortable spending all day with her. She was very sweet and friendly with my pup and they did end up having a great day together!! Would definitely recommend Marcella for any and all of the Rover services she offers. Thank you Marcella! Until next time!”

“Meredith walked our puppy for 3 months and he loved her. She helped so much with his leash training and learning how to heal. I cannot say enough about how much she helped out and how much our dog loves and trusts her. Highly recommend.”
About: I've taken care of family pets (cats and dogs) for 15+ years now, and on my own I a have two cats. My schedule is flexible, though my apartment does not allow for dogs and I prefer to pets sit at the pet's home, where they are most comfortable and familiar. I do not have experience caring for pets with serious medical conditions, but I have given dogs their medication on previous jobs. I am currently only available on weekends, though as I transition out of teaching my schedule will open up. I am available for any emergencies over the holidays. My apartment does not allow for dogs, and would prefer not to test how my cats would respond to other animals as it has been just them in my apartment for a few years now. I also believe that it's best to sit for apet in their own home where I am the only thing they have to adjust to. I am fastidious about following owner directions. My cats are fairly low-maintenance, but I also have experience with high-energy dogs like boxers, and pet size does not matter.
“Kaley put my mind at ease and treated our furry family members with love and care. She is prompt and the dogs love her walks and tummy scratches. Kaley is my first pick when we need help with our puppies.”
“Brooke is super friendly, and responsible. She came out to visit us the day before the dog walking appointments and my dog ran right to her which was a comforting sign. We were traveling through the area in our RV and felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in Brooke’s care while we visited Chicago for the day. We highly recommend Brooke! She’s energetic, and perfectly capable of caring for big, strong and sweet pups. 5 stars! ⭐️”
About: I am a veterinary assistant and I am currently trying to get into veterinary school. I have the knowledge and experience to keep your pet safe and take action should any issues arise!

I am not juggling a job anymore, so I am open for bookings to help give your dog structure and companionship I do not have the capability, at my home, of having pets at my home due to not having a fenced in yard for their protection.
“My dog and I were very happy with the care Julie provided. She walked my dog in the rain while I was at work, and I really appreciated her reliability. I was worried the weather might cause her to cancel, but she still showed up and took great care of my dog. Julie is professional, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We look forward to booking with her again. 😊”

About: I’m the kind of sitter who loves your pets like family—because to me, they are. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m always learning more about their behavior so I can give them the best, most thoughtful care. I’m patient, playful, and love building trust with each animal I meet. When I’m babysitting, once the kid is in bed, I usually end up curled up with the family pet (not saying who I like more—that wouldn’t be fair). And if I ever disappear at someone’s house, you can bet I’ve found the pet and made a new best friend. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, structure, or quiet company, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I am a Masters of Athletic Training Student at IU Bloomington. My schedule consists around classes and clinical so please reach out about times and availability as they change week-to-week with clinicals! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I’m probably someone who does a little too much research to make sure every detail is right—whether it’s proper walking manners, keeping pets safe in different temperatures, or understanding the best foods and treats for their health. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is in knowledgeable, caring hands and that their environment is always secure, comfortable, and loving.
About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for the past few years. I have experience with training dogs and working with their behavioral issues. I have worked in an animal hospital for a year caring for all the dogs and cleaning up after them. We also had cat boarding, so I have a lot of experience working with cats! I’ve also fostered cats and dogs. This has given me the true experience of caring for a pet. I hate to see dogs kenneled up all day, or have to stay at a facility where they don’t get the tender loving care that they deserve. They deserve one on one attention in their own environment where they feel safe. I promise to provide your dog with the care and attention that they deserve. I’m also a big cat lover, as I have two cats of my own! I do have experience with nail trims and baths, so feel free to ask about that also! I currently have complete open availability! I easily can do quick drop bys to check on your dog or cat! I’m more than happy to stay overnight with them too! I always love an animal like it’s my own. They deserve all the love and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk or let out or an overnight stay, your dog will get lots of love.

“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so kind and understanding. I ended up having an emergency and she was so easy to work with. Also, Freddy absolutely loved her! We got so many pictures and updates, definitely eased my mind while we were away. 100% recommend!!!!!!!!!!”
“Jordan took great care of our dog! He had a great time playing and making new friends! Jordan sends pictures and updates everyday and I felt safe keeping my fur baby with her! Thank you Jordan and family for loving on Rocky.”
“Due to changes in plans, we reached out for a last minute Christmas puppy sitter, and Nichole was willing to help! And she did amazing. She was attentive to our dogs, able to meet their needs, and was even willing to extend the reservation for another half day. She had the perfect house set up to give out babies what they needed. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll be sure to ask if she’s available!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.
“Shanie's dog boarding for my puppy for 2 weeks deserves the highest rating --she sent little reports and photos and videos at least 2x/day which I loved and my puppy loved her home, expansive outdoor area, and all the toys and treats. It was hard for me to leave my puppy but Shanie made it easier and when we need another dog boarder I hope we get Ms. Shanie!!”
“Jesseeka was AMAZING! ❤️ This was our first time using Rover so we were unsure what to expect. Our boy Bryant had a great time playing and snuggling. She communicated regularly and sent pictures. He came home happy and with a cute new bandana. We will definitely book again!”
“Very thankful for Michelle. She watched Louie over the holiday and was very flexible when our schedule kept changing. Louie had a great time during his stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“Our dog had a great vacation at Mary's house. She was very easy to contact, flexible with travel times, and most importantly she took great care of our dog, Georgia! We loved seeing the pics she sent while we were away. Thanks Mary! We'd definitely leave Georgia at your house again.”
“Thanks so much for scheduling the meet & greet. And most of all, taking care of my fur baby Zoe. So happy she did so well. Really excited about finding such a great fur mom!! You are so appreciated?❤️ The photos and updates were so very thoughtful and truly beautiful from such a kind soul!”
“Angelique was wonderful to our little meatloaf while we were out of the country. She sent us many photos and kept us updated on anything new. We will definitely go with Angelique if we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!”
“I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She was extremely communicative and it was very obvious how great of a dog mom she is. I felt so happy knowing my baby was in her care. Moose had the best time!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“So thankful for the great care my older dog received, especially with a last-minute holiday booking! They were incredibly kind, kept me updated, and made me feel totally at ease. I could tell my dog was comfortable and right at home. Would absolutely book again!”
