Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wingate
“Mikey's stay with Lynelle was excellent. He is older and needs that extra attention from an in home experience. Lynelle updated me with a photo to let me know everything was going well. I was only visiting the area from out of state but I would book future daycare and overnight stays with Lynelle if I lived in the area. Highly recommended.”
“We have used Derrick multiple times for watching our dog.He takes wonderful care of our Australian shepherd and always sends videos and pictures. He's become the first thing I book before vacation to make sure Millie is taken care of and I dont have to worry! 10/10 recommend!”
“Soul loved staying with this family. After they dropped him off, he went back searching for them to get another chance to play with her kids. Pick up and drop off were so smooth and I loved the picture she sent me of my puppy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“My young pup, Claude, has glaucoma, and during his stay with Emily, she tackled the intricate schedule of drops that he needs. He also had plenty of company to play with - both canine and human! If Emily will have him, we'll be back!”
“Carrie was wonderful! She took care of our puppy and sent us updates often. She responded well to messages, especially to a last minute request. Thank you Carrie!”
“Brittany was super nice and took very good care of Dobby for us while we were away. She sent us pics to keep us updated on how he was doing. He was happy to see us when we picked him up, but also tried to go back in with her when we left to go home so I'd say that speaks for itself.”
“We left our Nellie in the very capable hands of Alyssa while we were on vacation. Alyssa sent multiple daily updates and was so attentive to Nellie and her cautious disposition. We can’t thank Alyssa and her family enough for caring for our girl!”
“Sherri and Lee were wonderful pet sitters for our dog while we were on vacation. Miss Bonnie has significant separation anxiety from prior abuse, but they handled every issue that came up with great care and consideration for her well being. They're warm, welcoming dog-loving people who treated our little sweetie like a member of their pack. Highly recommend them!”
“They sent plenty of pictures showing Cricket enjoying the yard and comfy Recliners. We will certainly use them again and recommend them to our friends. When I went to pick Cricket up she acted like she wanted to stay.”
“I’ve used a lot of sitters here on Rover, and Jason is the best by a long shot! His love for animals shows in how well he takes care of them; my anxious girl LOVES Jason and knows she’s going to have a fun day every time she sees him. He’s a great communicator, and will always act in the best interest of your pet. Not to mention, I’ve gotten some of the best quality photos of my pretty girl from Jason!”
“Surama & her family must have given her the attention she always wants because she seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Thank you Surama we appreciate you caring for her.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits. I’m currently working in the mornings until 2-4 pm and would love to spend my evenings crying for dogs who are I need. I am available during late hours during the weekdays and weekends. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. During walks and visits, I keep pets secure, use proper leash handling, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.
“Marissa and her husband were so great with our high-energy pups! Her dog Dewey is sweet and playful with other dogs, and they came home exhausted. They had a clean, safe home and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“The most amazing sitter ever! Alana was flexible with the dates and able to change last minute. She took such good care of my dog, sent pictures all the time, and updated me with everything. He was so so happy staying with her & had the best time! Can not say how much I recommend Alana!!”
“Wonderful! Megan was awesome. I felt at such ease leaving my fur baby with her. I got a quick response anytime I wanted an update. Nova came home very happy and tired from her stay.”
“Paul took care of my pitty at a seconds notice. I needed a sitter for he quick and Paul was able to help. Him and his wife were very nice and made my pup feel very comfortable he didn't even bark at them. Once I picked him up Paul even gave me some tips on how to help with his separation anxiety, very happy with the process”
“Hojoo and her family were so sweet! I am so glad I chose them. Her profile was exactly what I needed for my fur baby for a quick business trip. She treated Tito like family and he didn’t want to leave! So happy to have him make new friends!”
“Jamie is the absolute best! My boys did great with her and her dog. She is great at updating on the stay and sends pictures which I loved. When it came time for pickup, Jamie was very understanding and accommodating when we got delayed a little on our return home. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! We appreciate you!”
“Really good! My dog stayed with Jessica and her family for 3 weeks, in which there were no problems at all and my dog had a lot of fun. She gave updates and contacted me about any decisions that they were going to make regarding my dogs care. Definitely will be contacting her again if I need to go away again.”

“Our beloved but skittish orange tabby was in great hands with Beth while we were away! She took the time to make sure she saw our cat every day even though she has a tendency to hide. Beth is such a great sitter, will definitely use again!!”
“Marissa was so helpful! I ran into a problem during my booking and she was so flexible and communicative during the process of getting everything straightened out. I’m so grateful that my cat was well-looked after while I was out of town!”
About: I have had my own dogs for all my life. I love to take my own dogs on up to three mile walks. I love all breeds and temperaments and old and young. Each dog is special and I know a member of your family. I currently have very flexible day time hours. I am hoping to have dog drop-in’s and walks and would love to have re-occurring clients, that will have health benefits for me and your dog. Everyone loves a good walk! Puppies are best crate trained so they feel safe, secure and won’t chew up things while you are gone. But most of all dogs need love and attention.
“Giovanni did a great job taking care of my two cats! Even my feisty loner cat seemed to enjoy his company. He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout his stay. The house was exactly as we left it, and he followed all our instructions perfectly! We would definitely book with Giovanni again if we weren’t moving!”

About: Hello! I'm Carly. I've had dogs since I was a little girl and started to own cats in my college years. As time has gone on, I have adopted and purchased different pets and currently have three dogs, a wiener dog, English setter and Great-dane/mastiff/Corso. I also have four cats ranging in ages from kitten to old man :) All of my pets are extremely friendly and get along well with other animals! *** Care in Pet Palace *** I'm currently working from home, so your pets and I will spend all day long together! We will start our mornings with a morning potty break and some play time. My dogs love to roam the yard and play with one another with a little fetch every morning. If you prefer your dog has a breakfast in the morning I will serve this after some relaxing time in the mornings. We will take potty and play time breaks all day. I do have children, age 8 and up, who will be sure to give your pets love and attention and additional playtime all day long! Your pet will truly fit right in with us and feel apart of the family from day one! *** Care in your home *** Care in your home will occur to any standard and requests you set! Typically this will include myself coming to your home in the morning for a potty break and play time. I can also remain in the home for a period of time for love and snuggles if desired! I will come to the home as often as desired and provide meal during times requested! Please note I do not stay in your home overnight! *** Pet Palace *** When in my home, your pet will have the same access my pets do to the areas unless otherwise specified and agreed upon. Dogs have access to the entire first floor of our home and are able to lay on our furniture. Cats also have the same access as well as access to the second floor of our home, allowing them to relax in a quiet space away from puppy play! If I should need to leave the home, I do have a fenced in 8 foot tall dog run which includes a grassy area and a covered section on concrete where dog houses are for additional shelter. If the weather is not appropriate for the dogs to remain outside or you prefer they are contained indoors, a crate can be set up inside our sun room as well. *** In your home pet care *** If pet care is desired in your home instead, I will follow any instructions you may leave to care for your pet the way you desire so ensure they feel comfortable in their own home and to ensure you feel comfortable with the security of your home while you are away!
About: I grew up on a cattle farm with two dogs (inside) and 10 cats (6 inside/outside and 4 outside). I am very experienced with the care that animals need and I will give them the care and attention that they need. I have experience giving medication to my own animals so I can give medication to a pet if needed. I am used to playing with my own dogs outside and at the end of the day I cuddle with them on the couch. I am a part time student at Penn Foster online with their vet tech program and a full time Animal Care Technician at Purdue University. I excel at belly rubs and head pats. I will treat your animals like my own and my pets are my children. I work full time at Purdue University as an Animal Care Technician so I care for all animals on the daily. I also have my pets at home as well. I always make sure that the animal is comfortable, fed, watered, and feels safe in my presence. I love to give attention and comfort to all animals.
“Wow!!! First time using Rover. It was very easy. But this review is for Emily and her fiancé. I took my cat Fluffy over for a meet and greet. Before we even met Emily and her fiance, a customer of theirs told us out side that we are going to Love them, they are great! Fluffy warmed up to Emily very quickly. Before leaving that day I was convinced Emily was the best decision for Fluffy. While away she sends updates and pictures. Very informative and responsive. I had no worries at all. I can't say enough good about this family. I know they are loving and kind. I feel like they treat each pet as their own. You will not be disappointed!! We will definitely be using them again in the Future.”
About: I am an early childhood educator and I spend time with human children all day. After school I'd love to spend some time with your four legged children! I have a cat and dog of my own and know how special they are! Let me know how I can help you! I have been walking for my own health and if I can help you and your fur baby that makes it even better. I am responsible and punctual. I am reliable and will communicate any changes, needs or concerns with you promptly. Thank you! I have a consistent 8-4 schedule, so it is easy for me to schedule your fur babies around my regular workday! I can do drop ins before and after work and do walks in the afternoon. I will do what is best for your pet! If they need me to sit with them for an hour while they eat I can do that. If they need a walk and then some cuddles I will do that! Whatever they need to have a good time while they are in my care!

“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. This was our second time leaving our little fur-baby with her and he seems to really enjoy her and is opening up (He has a bit of separation anxiety)...I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.
“Meg was absolutely fantastic and a life saver. Coming from Chicago, We got last minute tickets to the IU/Purdue game and were then headed to Indy to see family after. Needed somewhere to put the doggy for 3-4 hours. Even though she already had 2 dogs to watch, she accommodated us with essentially a couple hours notice and took great care of tyko. Thank you so much!”
“Jo and Jess are great dog sitters! They watched my small dog, Coconut, for one day of daycare and I plan on utilizing their services again. Jo is clearly great with dogs; my pup warmed up to her almost instantly and their personal dog, Ruby, is exceptionally well-trained and friendly with both people and other dogs. I would definitely recommend Jo and Jess!”
About: As a life long dog lover I volunteered at a vet clinic for six months and I worked as a kennel attendant at a shelter for well over 5 years. I administered medication, gave shots, exercised and trained all breeds and types, bathed all types, and kept their kennels clean and the dogs twice fed twice daily. I have worked with puppies and seniors, lap dogs and mastiffs. Meeting new dog friends every day was the highlight of my job! To supplement my income I spent time house and pet sitting for local friends. In addition to dogs and cats, I've spent 3 years of my life working on horse farms and I'm available to care for barn babies as well. Let's talk! While I work part-time, my hours are very limited and will leave me plenty of time to play with your fur baby or check on your barn babies at least twice a day. We have a large fenced in back yard for dogs to run around in, some comfortable and cool places for dogs to chill indoors, and we can take frequent walks as a family.

I am an experienced incoming veterinary student and devote my summers to pet sitting and care, so I am very flexible in terms of scheduling and accommodating your pet!

Taking care of pets fits right into our everyday life! I’m a stay-at-home dad and husband, so we’re always moving around the house, hanging out in the yard, or heading out to the park. Between toddler adventures and walks, there’s plenty of time for play, fetch, and cuddles, your pup will feel right at home with us. I have a fenced yard and a security camera at my front entrance. I love spending time outdoors and have plenty of energy to take my toddler and pets on walks to the nearby park.
About: I’ve had my sweet Mina girl for nearly a year and she brings me more happiness than I ever imagined. It brings me such joy to love on dogs and give them happiness back. I often work remote so I am able to play and go for walks during the day. Even when I’m away from home during work days, I am able to come home on lunch breaks. My schedule can be very flexible. I live downtown, so although I do not have a yard, my neighborhood is extremely walkable. My apartment is spacious and includes a very long hallway that we use daily to play fetch. I take Mina outside multiple times a day, with walks serval blocks each at least twice a day.

“This was our first time using Rover. Beth was everything we could hope for. Our dog is pretty skittish, but Beth endeared herself to our anxious pup in no time. Beth communicated well, posted pictures, and did everything I asked of her. We highly recommend Beth and will definitely call on her again!”

About: I’ve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!
About: As many others I’ve grown up having multiple pets. I have always had a passion for caring for animals. I worked at an animal shelter where I provided the best care whether it was dog walking, giving vaccinations, drawing blood, and more. I am a stay at home mom currently so I have plenty of time to devote to taking care of animals. I want to be able to incorporate daily outings into my routine. I have two friendly dogs and two cats. We have a large yard without a fence, but two long attached leads. We also have a decent sized house that allows for indoor play.
“Anthony was a great dog walker! He handled my three medium-large dogs without any issue and braved awful weather with them. He also sent photos and a note about each walk, with I just loved.”
About: I have experience with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have owned dogs that are super high maintenance, dogs that love to lounge, anxiety ridden dogs, and dogs that are on the spicy side. I understand the different cues of dogs and how to read their body language. I have experience in walking multiple dogs. I also have experience in training dogs. I trained my Shetland Sheepdog for 4H and we made it to the state fair. I also taught him many silly tricks. I can be a professional fetch player or a professional cuddler, whichever your dog prefers. I can also just be a treat giver if your dog prefers space. I am currently working part time as a server, but my schedule is very flexible. I am a recently graduated college student, with the hopes of going to graduate school in the coming semester. Animal trust is very important to me. It is important that I earn you and your animals trust, and we can grow to be best friends or acquaintances if your animal is not into that. I hope to make your time away from your animal as easy as possible.
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from a very young age. I’ve always thought that I liked spending time with animals more than people. And have always had a love for them. :) I work a part-time job that feels full time but that’s because I work with the public, however I’m trying to switch to something more flexible. Evenings work best for me but knowing ahead of time I can do mornings too. My cats have free roam as it’s equally their house, however I can put them away. If it’s your home I can do whatever is asked for me. For outside I have a lot of land but it’s open.
About: Taking care of animals is a passion! Whether it be walking, or just giving well deserved attention and overall the care they need to be happy! I work full time but i am available mornings and late nights to help exert your dogs energy or just provide them a fun outlet!

About: I would love to meet your fur babies. I'm retired from 35 yrs as a Social Worker. Now, I can pet sit full time. Call or text with any questions or to book my services! I'm able to come to your home while you're away! Whether you're working extra long hours or away on vacation, I can watch your pets when you are gone from home. I only watch pets in their home environments. This is less stressful/traumatic on pets, than a kennel stay. Also, your pet will avoid getting diseases from the other animals at kennel. I don't charge per pet or per size fees either!
About: I have had my own dogs for all my life. I love to take my own dogs on up to three mile walks. I love all breeds and temperaments and old and young. Each dog is special and I know a member of your family. I currently have very flexible day time hours. I am hoping to have dog drop-in’s and walks and would love to have re-occurring clients, that will have health benefits for me and your dog. Everyone loves a good walk! Puppies are best crate trained so they feel safe, secure and won’t chew up things while you are gone. But most of all dogs need love and attention.
About: Hello, my name is Giovanni and I am grad student with a lot of love to share!

About: Hello, my name is Kalena! I am very passionate about all kinds of animals - I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, rats, and mice. I have had numerous pet and house-sitting jobs, and I have volunteered at several animal shelters. I am detail-oriented, so I will take any special instructions in stride. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Purdue University in 2022. I currently have a flexible schedule aside from my part-time role as an assistant teacher. I will do research beforehand on the breed you own as to provide optimal care. I can bring supplies if needed. I am able to walk animals, bathe them, groom them, play with them, and I can do overnight care. I have a valid driver's license, so I can transport the animal if needed. If you're in need, I would be love the opportunity to take care of your animal family! I am able to integrate whatever pet care you require into my daily routine. I can be there to walk, feed, clean, play with, or hang out with your pet at any time of the day! I make sure to give plenty of love to each pet and ensure that I follow the owner's care instructions carefully. I will take whatever safety precautions are needed to ensure the animal is well taken care of.

Whether your pet needs medication, extra playtime, or a little extra comfort while you’re away, I’m committed to giving them the same love and attention I’d want for my own pets.
About: My name is Sydney M. I am a sweet and loving 25 year old girl. Born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana. I have 2 dogs of my own, I have had dogs my whole life! I love them! Love going on walks and playing with animals. I adore cats and dogs, mainly little dogs because big dogs frighten me a little bit... if they are well trained and don’t tug on the leash while walking, they are okay! Available anytime everyday, I have another job at platos closet, but I’m mostly free for the most part. I would love to walk them anytime it makes me happy:) I am very flexible! Contact my cell phone at any time. Thank you and I look forward to meeting!!!

About: I have been pet sitting for 10 years now and love it! A few years ago I lost my dog due to an illness. At this current time I am not ready to get another dog.

His love for animals shows in how well he takes care of them; my anxious girl LOVES Jason and knows she’s going to have a fun day every time she sees him.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits. I’m currently working in the mornings until 2-4 pm and would love to spend my evenings crying for dogs who are I need. I am available during late hours during the weekdays and weekends. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. During walks and visits, I keep pets secure, use proper leash handling, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve loved being around and tending to animals since I was a little girl. I had dogs and cats my whole life (except for right now) and have loved learning to meet their needs! I am a part-time social worker at a local non-profit organization. I am also beginning online grad school to become a therapist. With both of these commitments, I primarily work from home. My weeks are pretty flexible! I live in a home with a fenced backyard and room for pets to play and be active! I currently have no permanent pets here. I am eager to travel to homes to provide company, activity, and care to pets!
“Lucas proved to be an excellent choice for keeping my playful dog for a week. He's caring, responsible, friendly and very good at keeping the doggo happy. I was impressed by how good he handled everything, even keeping me updated on how she was with adorable photos. I'll definitely be giving Lucas a shout next time I'm in Decatur with Bosco.”
About: I have taken care of my parents senior dog in my home while they were out of town. Helped a former coworker with her dog, also in my home, while she was out of town. I have helped a friend of mine with their senior dog + 4 cats in their home as drop in visits while they were out of town. Since starting Rover, I have had multiple in home stays with dogs, and homes that have both dogs and cats. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. My morning routine includes leaving the house by 7:00 AM to take my child to daycare or school. Before departing, all pets in my care are taken outside, fed, and provided with any necessary medications. Depending on the proximity of your home, I may be available to stop by during my lunch break to check on and care for your pet. After work, I pick up my child from daycare and can typically arrive at your home around 5:00 PM. Upon arrival, dogs will be taken outside promptly and fed as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific care needs or scheduling. I care for pets with the same level of attention and compassion as I do my own. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and administer any required medications as directed. Dogs are taken outside regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise, and I make time to play and engage with them to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes in addition to providing consistent feeding, fresh water, and attentive care. I also enjoy offering treats when permitted; my daughter especially loves helping to give treats, making it a fun and positive experience for your pet.
About: Hello! I have been a dog sitter and cat sitter for over a couple years now. I have open days in my calendar due to less work obligations. Looking to fill the time and help out while I can! I am flexible to check on your pet throughout the day. I have a more than flexible work schedule and have the transportation needed to do so. I live on the fourth floor in an apartment building. I am in close proximity to multiple dog parks and walking trails. The area is very safe with many other neighbors having pets as well.
About: I have a huge passion for animals, as I’m an animal sciences major at Purdue (with the goals of pursuing veterinary school)! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, exotics, zoo animals, pigs, cows, horses, the works! I’ve recently lost my only dog of 15 years, and this experience was very hard on me and my mental health. Therefore, I joined Rover as a dog walker and house-sitter to try something new and bring that same passion for others and their pets! I'm a full-time student with classes scattered throughout the day. I am willing and able to do drop-in visits as well as dog walking around my class schedule. I am flexible and willing to work with your schedule as well! I have many years of veterinary experience with dogs and cats, so I can be entrusted with administering medications to pets. Additionally, I've been around animals all my life, so I can be relied upon to react swiftly in case of an emergency. I will make sure to adjust my services based on the pet and his or her needs so that every pet can feel pampered, happy, and (most importantly) safe in my care.
About: I’ve worked in vet med for 5 years now and I’m a third-year veterinary student. This makes me well prepared to spot and respond to any emergencies your baby may have! I have a cat named Horton and a dog named Reno that crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago </3 I’m currently in the area on a veterinary externship (what I do when I’m not taking classes), so I have time in the early morning and evenings to care for somebody’s babies that may need it. I care for the babies by making sure they’re fed and feeling well when I see them. I will also just sit and watch from a distance if they’re the kind that don’t prefer a human’s company. Also, I pet them and tell them just how beautiful they are every 10 minutes in the midst of me taking hundreds of pics for the client.
