“Our 1 y/o charcoal lab Maverick recently stayed with Sarah and her family for an overnight boarding and cannot say enough good things about this first experience using her. I was very apprehensive, as we'd never used Rover or boarded our dog before, but Sarah and her family made me feel very at ease and were so extremely understanding when we were hours late picking him up due to weather as we were traveling back from our out of state trip. She was wonderful with keeping me up to date on his behavior and how he was handling the stay and sent numerous photos and videos while we were away. 10/10 experience!”

“This was Otis and LuLu’s longest stay and they did amazing! They were so happy to see their friends that they didn’t even tell me goodbye 😄 I got daily updates with lots of pictures once again. I love having a sitter that loves my babies as much as I do.”
“This was Ruby’s first time being away from us and her first boarding experience and it couldn’t have gone better. Nora has an excellent environment for multiple dogs and Ruby got along with all the dogs and it really helped socialize and grow her confidence. She was very well taken care of and they sent lots of pictures of how much she was enjoying her time there. Thank you Nora!”


“As a consistent dog owner who has boarded with Becky at least safely a dozen times, she remains to impress me with her care, flexibility and availability of my Italian Greyhound. Another great experience in the books. Thank you Becky!”

“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”

“Chelsea did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. We also appreciated her quick communication and willingness to watch our dog as a last minute booking and to add on a day when we wanted to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”

“Tawny was fantastic! She sent us pictures everyday, which is a big win for our little one. She treated him so well with lots of love and cuddles and took him with her to visit family. She made sure he stayed cool in the heat and made us feel very confident that our pup was being cared for well. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Mary Jane was wonderful with our dog, Cooper! We had to book last minute, but she made the time to meet up with us to meet Cooper and get familiar with him before he stayed the weekend with her. She kept us updated with pictures all weekend long and he seemed happy when we picked him up. She even bought him a new toy when they couldn't find his old one lol. She's a very sweet person and will be the first person we contact when we need another overnight sitter for our pup!”

About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”

“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Wonderfully patient with my cat, Charlie, who needed time to adjust to their cat and dog. After spending some solo time with our Charlie in closed off parts of the house, Charlie voluntarily entered the rest of the house, accepting of her new friends! I appreciated Matthew and Ellie taking the required time and care to make the adjustment go well. Will definitely consider using them again.”

About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality.

I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets when you are not able to. I myself have grown up with dogs my whole life and would pet sit my neighbors animals all the time. Now, I have my own little zoo of 2 dogs, 3 cats, and some geckos. I spent one year in a vet tech program so i know the basics of animal medicine, 6 months taking care of the marine mammals at Shedd Aquarium, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology. I understand it is hard to leave your pets unattended for hours on end and stressful when you come home to an accident but they can't help it. I want to help alleviate that stress for you and your pet by giving them the best care possible. I can only provide check-ins and walking services. I am looking for some supplemental income to help support my little family. I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old but have recently gotten a full time job in the Bloomington area. I am available during early evening hours and weekends. They are family so they get treated with respect and love and I will treat yours like I treat mine to make sure they are happy and living their best life.

About: I have been around cats my whole life. I’ve made friends with the cats that others say, “oh she’s not too fond of people” like magic! And I’ve given oral medications to cats handfuls of times.
“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”


About: Hello! My name is Mirte (pronounced meer‑tah), and I’ve been caring for pets professionally for several years now. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and a goofy beagle named Mylo, and I adore them both like family. That same level of love, patience, and attention is what I bring to every cat I care for. Before pursuing social work I originally planned to become a veterinary technician, so my love for animals runs deep. Cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your kitty is shy, social, playful, or independent, I connect in a way that feels right for them. 🐈🧶 My schedule is very flexible right now since I’ve just wrapped up my internship, and I offer everything from drop‑ins to overnight stays. I always prefer meeting in person beforehand so you and your cat feel completely at ease. I’d love to connect and support you however I can; your pet’s well‑being truly matters to me.
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.
“Very attentive and careful while walking my husky that hasn’t always been well behaved on a leash. He even tried working with her to reduce her pulling. Gave her all the attention she needed when she was missing her family! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.”

About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!

“Kelly really saved me in a pinch and did exactly what I had in mind my for 2 dogs experiencing doggy daycare for the first time! I gave her a brief overview of their personalities and my expectations for the day and she provided an easy, stress-free day for me! She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up times possibly changing and was incredibly kind/understanding about me not being able to give her an idea of drop off/pick up. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Our dogs loved their time at Kelli's! She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Kelli provided photos and updates during the day and is really communicative. Her fenced-in back yard provides a great opportunity for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs were worn out from playing and having such a good time! I would definitely love to use Kelli again.”

About: I have been raising my beagle since he was a puppy and have since adopted 2 cats and a senior dog.

I’m currently working part time, so I have pretty flexible availability. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you would like to work something out!

About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.
About: I’ve been a doggo lover my entire life. I got my first pup my senior year of high school and he’s my best friend to this day. At home I’m now a doggo dad of 4. Winston, Calvin, Winnie, & Junior. My daily experience of over 10 years has taught me how to handle everything from high energy zoomies to picky eater senior dogs (my chihuahua). If it’s a quick walk around the block, a full day of adventures, or just coming to check in and feed, I treat every pet like my own. Really paying attention to their routine, safety, exercise, and lots of affection. I’d love to bring that type of care to your fur babies. I am as flexible as it gets. My other job is delivering groceries for Walmart which I also make my own hours for. I am available and compatible to match the schedule and services you need. My home is a secure, pet friendly fenced in yard. I would never leave your fur babies outside without supervision. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My dogs are very friendly but can be totally isolated from your pets if that’s what you request. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, following your instructions exactly, and I will send updates with photos so you can see your fur babies happy and safe. You can trust your pet will be in a loving, attentive, and safe environment just like my own pack receives every day.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

About: I’ve taken care of animals all around the family! I have two dogs and a cat at home who have been spoiled so much. I love animals of all kinds. I have given dogs and cats medications orally. I am a college student at Ivy Tech, my schedule is a little empty this semester, and my part time job starts later in my day. I am always in town and don’t have any trips planned. I keep an open schedule! I am able to take your pets on walks! As long as it’s not raining I would love to take your little ones on walks. I keep animals close when a vehicle is near. I’ll treat them as my own!
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! I am working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays currently. Please refer to my calendar for more details! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or yell, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, because growing my family always had pets. I love animals and my family can rely on me when it comes to caring for their pets.

“Our 1 y/o charcoal lab Maverick recently stayed with Sarah and her family for an overnight boarding and cannot say enough good things about this first experience using her. I was very apprehensive, as we'd never used Rover or boarded our dog before, but Sarah and her family made me feel very at ease and were so extremely understanding when we were hours late picking him up due to weather as we were traveling back from our out of state trip. She was wonderful with keeping me up to date on his behavior and how he was handling the stay and sent numerous photos and videos while we were away. 10/10 experience!”

“This was Otis and LuLu’s longest stay and they did amazing! They were so happy to see their friends that they didn’t even tell me goodbye 😄 I got daily updates with lots of pictures once again. I love having a sitter that loves my babies as much as I do.”
“This was Ruby’s first time being away from us and her first boarding experience and it couldn’t have gone better. Nora has an excellent environment for multiple dogs and Ruby got along with all the dogs and it really helped socialize and grow her confidence. She was very well taken care of and they sent lots of pictures of how much she was enjoying her time there. Thank you Nora!”


“As a consistent dog owner who has boarded with Becky at least safely a dozen times, she remains to impress me with her care, flexibility and availability of my Italian Greyhound. Another great experience in the books. Thank you Becky!”

“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”

“Tawny was fantastic! She sent us pictures everyday, which is a big win for our little one. She treated him so well with lots of love and cuddles and took him with her to visit family. She made sure he stayed cool in the heat and made us feel very confident that our pup was being cared for well. Will definitely be booking again!”


“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”

“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Wonderfully patient with my cat, Charlie, who needed time to adjust to their cat and dog. After spending some solo time with our Charlie in closed off parts of the house, Charlie voluntarily entered the rest of the house, accepting of her new friends! I appreciated Matthew and Ellie taking the required time and care to make the adjustment go well. Will definitely consider using them again.”

“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”


“Kelly was incredible!! I'm truly wondering if our dog will be sad to come home because he loved staying with Kelly so much, haha. She sent so many wonderful picture and video updates. She took such good care of our dog and even gave him baths and daily walks and worked on commands with him. He learned so much just from staying there. I will definitely be using Kelly again and I will recommend her to my friends as well!”

About: Ive grown up with a variety of pets. I love animals, and enjoy taking care of them and keeping them happy while they’re missing you! I have a cleaning business that keeps my weekly schedule flexible, but varied. My availability is not always the same each week but it gives me a more flexible schedule than some. I’m happy to care for your pet however you would do so normally to keep them in their routine. At home I have other pets they can play with or they can remain separated. I have plenty of yard for them to enjoy.
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.
