“Destinee and her family welcomed our Bluey with open arms! She provided updates with photos, and kept me in the loop with everything. I’m 100% booking with her whenever I need to use Rover again.”
“Sara was great! She knows a lot about dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She sent me plenty of updates and my dog looked like she enjoyed her doggy vacation at her place.”
“Kate and Josh and the whole family were amazing! Great home and yard environment, especially for an active dog like Teddy. He loved getting all the extra love. Clear communication and updates throughout, and were very flexible and accommodating with our schedule. Thank you so much!”
“Tracy is absolutely wonderful and we love knowing that our pup, CC, is very well cared for when we are away. CC gets tons of play time and she is snuggled too. We love all of the pictures and videos of her running and having fun. Thank you to Tracy for being such a great caretaker!”
“We recently moved to the area and I was so afraid we wouldn’t find a sitter that we liked and trusted as much as we did our sitter back home but no more worries! Rachel and her family took wonderful care of our big baby while we were gone on vacation and we’ve had to make several adjustments with times and haven’t had any problems. I was worried we wouldn’t make it home due to the snowstorm but Rachel assured me Cheeto would be safe, warm and loved until we made it home and was even ok with a late night pickup when we were finally home. Thank you so much Rachel!”
“Rubal was absolutely wonderful with Kingston! I needed a sitter for a last-minute weekend away, and she took excellent care of him. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Kingston was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. Her son also adored him, which made me smile. I would not hesitate to book with Rubal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be back!”
“Roger and Norbert had such an enjoyable stay with Sam! She took GREAT care of them and sent lots of pictures of the pups in walks, playing, and relaxing which helped me with the natural dog mom anxieties of leaving your pups while on vacation. ? I would absolutely leave my babies with Sam again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pup sitter in Indy!”
“Wonderful experience! My dog is anxious and shy with with new people and Christine knew exactly what to do and adjust. My baby loved it there! Got frequent pictures and updates! Definitely will use her again!”
“Mary is such a loving lady! It’s so reassuring knowing that Reggie is in good hands and receiving quality care 24/7 while we are away. Such a GREAT option for us instead of using a kennel or boarding service. I so appreciate Mary’s prompt response time when I need an update. AND she is such a friendly person and easy to love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Brooke and Bryan are absolutely wonderful! Ginger always has the best time with them and their family — I can tell she feels right at home. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving, safe hands while I’m away. Thank you again for taking such great care of my girl!”
“Levi stayed with Stacy during the holiday and Stacy made sure to give us frequent updates. Her son and her pup were also really welcoming to our pups. Stacy also was really accommodating of our drop-off and pick-up!”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”
“We were very happy with Nicole and our pups had a blast. We were impressed with the set up of the shared space to ensure that all dogs were safe while they were introduced to other pups and well acclimated to their surroundings. We will absolutely be booking with Nicole again.”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Amazing pet sitters. Thanks for taking care of Brennan for us and sending us a video and picture. We will definitely be booking again! He had a great time and seemed well taken care of.”
“Sheila K. did a wonderful job watching our dogs at her home. One of our dogs is "special needs due to medical problems", and she accommodated her needs perfectly. Sheila would send pictures daily of our dogs, and I could tell that both dogs felt at home at Sheila's home. They also enjoyed spending time in her backyard.”
“Absolutely the BEST! Our dog was treated like family and loved. Amazing communication, received pictures and updates while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely use again.”

“Sarah was amazing at coming in & helping me give medications to our two cats when my husband was out of town. Great communication + on time. Would definitely choose Sarah again for any Rover needs in the future!”
“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“So glad we found Lexi! During our meet and greet, the dog and many of the cats fell in love with her at first sight. Lexi did all the drop-in visits, and everyone was very well taken care of. I would absolutely ask Lexi to take care of our four-leggeds again!”
“Kara is our preferred pet sitter. This time she watched our 3 cats for 12 days while we were on vacation. Kara is excellent at providing feedback and photos. Our pets really like her. I highly recommend Kara.”
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
About: I have been caring for and loving cats and kittens of all ages since I was a little girl! I’ve always loved the quirky nature of cats, the love and protection they show for their families and the way they interact with each other. I’ve never gone a day without having at least one kitty in my home, and I can honestly say that my life has been saved by a cat before! She and I have an incredible bond still to this day- 12 years later! I believe that God put me on the earth to care for all animals and to be a loving mom. Well, my two children are grown and moved out on their own now but I do have 4 dogs and 2 kitties to love unconditionally everyday. I would like to help you care for your lovely kitties when you need to be away also!
About: I am a life-long animal lover, as well as a proud cat parent to 2 cats! I have previously cared for a wide range of pets, including cats, dogs, small mammals, as well as aquatic animals. I understand that every pet is different, and has their own personalities and routines. I have experience with all ages of pets, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away! During each visit, I’ll provide fresh food and water, scoop the litter/take them out to potty, give plenty of playtime or cuddles, and send detailed updates with photos so you’ll always have peace of mind. I always treat every pet like it’s my own!
“Our pets adore Angela, and we always appreciate coming home to happy, relaxed critters. She has handled our ever-changing cast of characters and their routines without blinking an eye, and it gives us immense peace of mind to know they are in capable and caring hands when we are away. As a Rover sitter myself, I also recommend her to my own clients when I am unavailable. Nothing but love for Angela!”
“Very happy with the service. I had a great vacation knowing my cats were in good hands. I enjoyed the photos of them getting love and attention. I would definitely hire Darcie again.”
About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable enough with all animals that with some instruction I can care for anything. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to spend time caring for them when owners are on vacation or just need a little extra help. I practice reward based motivation. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day. I am very good with instructions and will abide by any house rules and needs required for your pet. Experience house and pet sitting prior to joining Rover.
About: 🐾 Registered Veterinary Technician Providing Exceptional Pet Care 🐾 Hi! My name is Kelsey, and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician with 7 years of experience in the veterinary field. I currently work in both general practice and shelter medicine, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments every day. Animals have always been my passion. I became a veterinary technician because I wanted to give animals a voice and help ensure they receive the care, comfort, and advocacy they deserve. As a pet sitter, I bring that same dedication into every visit. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting services throughout the Indianapolis area. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, medication administration, or companionship while you’re away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and capable hands. My veterinary background allows me to provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I am experienced in administering oral medications, insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, and intramuscular injections. I am also trained to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health. If I notice anything concerning, I will not hesitate to contact you. At home, I share my life with a Husky, two Husky-Pitbull mixes, a German Shepherd mix, and a turtle. Caring for a diverse group of pets has given me firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. My goal is simple: to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I love building relationships with both pets and their owners and treating every animal as if they were my own. I am comfortable caring for: • Dogs of all sizes and breeds • Senior pets • Puppies and kittens • Multiple-pet households • Pets requiring medications or special care • Shy, nervous, or reactive pets I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work full time but my schedule is flexible! If there are any specific needs you have, I am willing to accommodate you and your fur babies :) I currently care for my pets through a large privacy fence and lots of attention! Our pets are very routine-based, but I am also flexible when client’s pets have specific needs.
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have been taking care of my own pets for 11 years now. My family have relied on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation. I would love to extend my love for animals by helping you take care of your fur babies when you’re not able to. I’m currently working full time. I’m able care to for your pet’s needs before I go to work and after I get home from work. I always feed and water my pets in the morning and let my dog outside in our fence in yard to use the bathroom. Then when I get home from work I make sure my pets have water, will fed my dog again, and take him outside to use the bathroom. I try to take my dog on a daily walk every evening. On the weekends I don’t work so I’m able to tend to the pets more. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. I also have two cats that are very friendly as well. I know how it is to be away from your fur babies so I will make sure to send lots of pictures and updates.
“Danielle is amazing! She took care of our elderly kitties and gave one of them meds twice a day, kept the kitty box clean and sent pics of our babies! Thank you Danielle your the best!”

About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9 years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while you pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.
“Once again, you guys go above and beyond for Rocky! Playing in the pool, taking care of his health and always making sure he has so much fun! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! 5/5 stars every single time!”
About: I have had dogs for the past 40 years and cannot imagine my house without them. I have one dog currently, Toby. He is a very sweet boy who loves all dogs and people. I would love to pamper your fur baby! I am retired and have all day to take care of your special fur baby. I would love to play with your dog and make them feel special. I have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence, and also a doggy door, so your pooch is able to go out and in as they wish. My dog, Toby, is very social and friendly so your baby will have a playmate.
“Tracy has been so patient and kind with our pup. CC is a shy but goofy little girl and we worried about finding someone who would wait for her to adjust to their home. Tracy has been so good with her and we just love knowing she is safe and cared for while we are away.”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of dogs and cats of all ages since I was a young child. Every pet I’ve ever had the pleasure of loving has been in my life from the time they came home until they passed. My mom taught me at a young age that a pet was a lifelong relationship and responsibility and I took that very seriously! I believe that God put me on this planet to care for animals and be a mom. My children are grown and out of the house now so I have 4 dogs (Midas-9, Atlas-6, Echo-5 and Zuko-3.5) and 2 kitties (Boston-12 and Angel 1.5) and I would really like to help you care for your fur babies when you can’t do it. I promise to follow your instructions so your fur babies will get the best experience possible! I am in phlebotomy and patient care in my career but I plan to be a part of a rescue or sanctuary when I retire. I will continue to volunteer at the shelter as often as possible until then. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I am available for house sitting on weekends and some days I would be available to do daycare at my home. I have a fenced in yard and 4 small to medium sized dogs of my own that love to socialize! I have a fully fenced in backyard and 4 social dogs to keep your dog company, as well as a cat that enjoys being involved in the activities inside.
“Brittany is amazing! We were on a long road trip and she was able to get us in with late notice. She made Luna feel right at home, and Luna had fun playing with Brittany’s pup too. She sent us sweet pics to reassure us Luna was doing well. We will definitely use her services next time we are in the area!”
“As always, Hank had the best time at Emily’s house today.. She’s THE BEST sitter in town and treats Hank as if he was part of the family!! Thank you SOO much Emily! 🌟🏆”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacy and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had several rescue dogs. I'm the first call for anyone I know who needs a dog sitter or walker. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet yall and lets play fetch! A move in ready kennel is available if needed. I'm located conveniently near the airport, 465, and 70 for easy drop off and pick-up! I work from home full time. I'm a total home body so staying home with dogs is a dream for me. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a 4 years old dog and son ready to play at all times! Dogs are family members so they are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a fully fenced yard and love to take walks daily. I am very happy to drop by for walks , potty breaks, and pets. My son excels at giving pets and love!
“We are truly thankful and appreciative for Jessica! She was not only attentive, professional, and reliable, but more importantly, we trusted the care and safety provided by her. If I can confirm your belief or bring comfort to the idea of leaving your loved ones, then book Jessica. She (and her adorable pup, Sunny) are the one for you!”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, which taught me how to read their body language and understand their needs from a young age. On top of that, I bring six years of professional dog grooming experience to my pet sitting. This means your pet isn't just getting a companion—they are staying with a professional who knows how to handle coat care, spot skin issues early, and keep anxious dogs calm and comfortable. Our daily routine starts in the morning with a quick potty break, followed by individual feedings so everyone can eat safely and at their own pace. Afterward, we head out for our morning walk or yard play while energy is high, followed by a quiet midday nap/relaxation to let food safely digest. Throughout the afternoon, your dog will get another bathroom break, a professional coat brush-out to check skin health, and some mental enrichment like puzzle toys or lick mats. As we transition into the evening, we serve dinner according to your exact instructions and burn off any remaining energy with a fun sunset play session. Finally, at night, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles in a true home environment before a final potty break and a peaceful, secure lights-out. Every pet in my care receives individualized attention focused on their physical safety and emotional well-being. I design a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can relax, ensuring their unique routines are strictly followed to prevent anxiety. By carefully reading their body language, I respect their personal boundaries and use gentle, patient interaction to build genuine trust at their own pace. Safety is always my top priority, which means I maintain secure environments, supervise all activities, and use my professional handling skills to keep every situation controlled and peaceful. Your pet will never be rushed or forced into interaction, giving them the secure, comfortable home-away-from-home experience they deserve.
“Janet saved the day! My husband and I were staying at a Home2 Suites locally for a couple nights with Stella and Jäger as we are moving from Ohio. The dogs struggled in the hotel and we were told that they could not stay alone as they cried and whined while we were away. I found Janet on Rover late in the evening on Monday and we were able to get daycare booked for the next day while we completed our final walk through and closing on our new house. A huge weight was lifted as we know this move is a big transition for not just Stella and Jäger but also for my husband and I. Janet played with Jäger and Stella and even sent me a picture to help ease my mind. So thankful for her!!”
About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,
About: Hey there! I am Jen. I can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. Love being active outdoors, going for walks, and making new animal friends. Pets bring so much joy, and I’m here to make sure they have just as much fun (and comfort!) while you’re gone- as they do when you’re home. I work from home, with a fenced in yard. I often just keep the back door open, unless it's winter... so they can explore and potty as they wish. I think animals do better with company so we really like the social aspect of this app where animals can be together with each other
“Andrea was wonderful. She was super accommodating and sent lots of pictures to us throughout the day. I would be happy to book with her again if we come through the Indianapolis area in the future.”
“Jackson was great! We’ve never used rover before but had a great experience with him. The dogs loved him and he was easy to talk to. We felt super comfortable leaving our pups in his care. We will come back to him again and again!”
About: In the past I have fostered many dogs of all ages and dogs with medical conditions requiring more care and I am comfortable giving medications. One of my dogs I went through a training course with where we used e-collars, so if your dog is e-collar trained I am very comfortable with this! I have also worked at a dog boarding facility taking care of many dogs and worked at a vet clinic taking care of dogs boarding! I am currently watching dogs full time so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and exercise they need to feel most comfortable! I have a fenced in yard where your dog will have plenty of room to run and play! I also have 4 dogs who are all friendly and interact well either other dogs.
“Buddy was happy and exhausted when he got home from Sara’s. She sent pictures showing him playing and napping. We were very happy with the care Buddy got and hope to use Sara in the future!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, most of which was more than 3 dogs at a time! I’ve had everything from small 30 pound mutts to 120+pound mastiffs. I currently work from home and have 2 wonderful pittie pups, one of which is a tripod. I live in a quiet neighborhood in Plainfield perfect to host your fur baby while you’re away! I work from home and can stay in your home or host your fur babes at our house. I don’t have human kids, only fur kids! I have a fenced in yard and have 2 dogs of my own. I have a house that has plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable and safe.

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals (including farm) since I was old enough to drive. I was also a vet tech for years!!! I recently quit my job as a preschool teacher, but don't want to be bored. I have all day to fill with your animal cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a big fur baby of my own to keep your baby company and entertained. The more the merrier.
About: I grew up with labs and when I was in high school, my mom adopted cats. I adopted my own cats in January and November of 2023. Through my time on Rover and Wag!, I have experience with all sorts of dogs! My gallery consists of all of the animals I have cared for as well as my own pets:) I am in my last year of my full-time Master’s program and am in a part-time internship downtown MWF from 9-4 as well as working part-time three days/week downtown. I know I have a busy schedule and I understand if this doesn’t work for your pet’s needs, but know that I will give your pet/s all of my love and attention and the best care possible when I am with them:) I do my best to go off of their needs and their schedule! If a pup needs a little bit to get comfortable with me, I let them take their time before I approach them or before we do anything. First and foremost, I want everyone to feel comfortable.
About: I have always had many animals from rabbits to birds to fish, and of course dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and love making bonds with them as well as making them feel loved and safe. I am in grad school so have school every day Monay-Friday, off on Thursday's but I am extremely flexible. I have school most days 8:30-4pm. I care for pets in my home by making sure they have access to fresh food and water, regular exercise, and a clean and safe environment. I also make time to give them attention and all the love. If caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the client’s specific instructions and routines for feeding, walking, grooming, and other pet-care needs. I would also make sure the pet’s environment is safe and clean while respecting the client’s home, preferences, and routines!
“Valerie has been checking in on our pup for the last several weeks and taking him for walks and we couldn’t recommend her more! She is very easy to communicate with and is great at keeping us updated about how he is doing! We will definitely continue asking her to take our doggo on walks!”
About: What sets me apart is a combination of specialized, hands-on care experience and a commitment to personalized, stress-free care. I am trained in managing complex senior care needs, including medication administration, while also focusing on positive reinforcement training to help puppies build confidence and good manners. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels as comfortable as they do when you are at home. I am able to stop by as many times as needed everyday throughout the week (Monday-Friday) after 3:00Pm and able to stop by as many times as needed on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) after 3:00Pm. Caring for pets requires prioritizing safety, building trust through communication, and maintaining a secure environment. Key actions include adhering strictly to routines (feeding, walking), securing hazards (cleaning supplies, small objects, gates), and keeping detailed records of veterinary contacts. Daily photo updates and maintaining hygiene ensure peace of mind.

Afterward, we head out for our morning walk or yard play while energy is high, followed by a quiet midday nap/relaxation to let food safely digest. Throughout the afternoon, your dog will get another bathroom break, a professional coat brush-out to check skin health, and some mental enrichment like puzzle toys or lick mats. As we transition into the evening, we serve dinner according to your exact instructions and burn off any remaining energy with a fun sunset play session. Finally, at night, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles in a true home environment before a final potty break and a peaceful, secure lights-out. Every pet in my care receives individualized attention focused on their physical safety and emotional well-being. I design a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can relax, ensuring their unique routines are strictly followed to prevent anxiety. By carefully reading their body language, I respect their personal boundaries and use gentle, patient interaction to build genuine trust at their own pace. Safety is always my top priority, which means I maintain secure environments, supervise all activities, and use my professional handling skills to keep every situation controlled and peaceful. Your pet will never be rushed or forced into interaction, giving them the secure, comfortable home-away-from-home experience they deserve.
“Danielle did a fantastic job walking Zoey! Zoey is a little timid at first and Danielle was very patient with her. Zoey came back completely pooped so I know she got a good long walk and had fun. :)”
About: Over 7 years experience caring for all different kinds of animals in all capacities! I know how to administer medication, orally or injection, and wouldn’t mind doing so. I received my trainers certification from Catch Trainers Academy in 2024 and am well versed in dogs language and behavior. I’m also pet CPR/first aid certified through the Red Cross. I’m a full time pet sitter & dog trainer so I’m able to have an extremely accommodating schedule because of this. This allows me to be there for pet parents when needed! **House sitting is for the hours of 5pm-8am - price reflects 6 hours of care | please reach out if you have different needs** I believe in patiently caring for every animal, as every animal is different and special in their own way. Your animal will be loved on and given plenty of cuddles and treats. I’m willing to walk them wherever is convenient. If your dog just wants to chill (it’s like that sometimes) we can hang out. I can properly and gently re-crate any dogs and, if needed, put up any cats.

“Destinee and her family welcomed our Bluey with open arms! She provided updates with photos, and kept me in the loop with everything. I’m 100% booking with her whenever I need to use Rover again.”
“Kate and Josh and the whole family were amazing! Great home and yard environment, especially for an active dog like Teddy. He loved getting all the extra love. Clear communication and updates throughout, and were very flexible and accommodating with our schedule. Thank you so much!”
“Tracy is absolutely wonderful and we love knowing that our pup, CC, is very well cared for when we are away. CC gets tons of play time and she is snuggled too. We love all of the pictures and videos of her running and having fun. Thank you to Tracy for being such a great caretaker!”
“We recently moved to the area and I was so afraid we wouldn’t find a sitter that we liked and trusted as much as we did our sitter back home but no more worries! Rachel and her family took wonderful care of our big baby while we were gone on vacation and we’ve had to make several adjustments with times and haven’t had any problems. I was worried we wouldn’t make it home due to the snowstorm but Rachel assured me Cheeto would be safe, warm and loved until we made it home and was even ok with a late night pickup when we were finally home. Thank you so much Rachel!”
“Rubal was absolutely wonderful with Kingston! I needed a sitter for a last-minute weekend away, and she took excellent care of him. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Kingston was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. Her son also adored him, which made me smile. I would not hesitate to book with Rubal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be back!”
“Mary is such a loving lady! It’s so reassuring knowing that Reggie is in good hands and receiving quality care 24/7 while we are away. Such a GREAT option for us instead of using a kennel or boarding service. I so appreciate Mary’s prompt response time when I need an update. AND she is such a friendly person and easy to love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Brooke and Bryan are absolutely wonderful! Ginger always has the best time with them and their family — I can tell she feels right at home. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving, safe hands while I’m away. Thank you again for taking such great care of my girl!”
“We were very happy with Nicole and our pups had a blast. We were impressed with the set up of the shared space to ensure that all dogs were safe while they were introduced to other pups and well acclimated to their surroundings. We will absolutely be booking with Nicole again.”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Absolutely the BEST! Our dog was treated like family and loved. Amazing communication, received pictures and updates while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely use again.”
“Louie was very happy at Sharon’s and even had a play date. He got walked and Sharon went above and beyond with texts, pictures, and videos. We would definitely go back.”
“Our Lila was well cared for and loved by Emily and family. She felt right at home and enjoyed the quiet environment with lots of country fresh air. We would use Emily again.”
“I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Tilmer and his family! He had fantastic communication, and photos everyday with an update! I felt like my pup truly fit into their family and was so well loved over her week stay! Next time I go out of town I won’t have to even think about where my fur baby will stay, Tilmer!!”
“Julie was great for our girls. She was easy to communicate with and loved on our anxious, storm hating dog during a stormy weekend. Will certainly be booking with her again!”
“We had Yvette watch over our Cavapoo Toby for the day while we were at the wedding at Indianapolis and she was amazing. She sents us updates and Toby come home happy, tired and relaxed.highly recommend and will be using her again if we visiting to Indiana.”
“Shea watched my dogs numerous times and was the best sitter ever. She was super accommodating since I was usually flying in and out at weird times. My bigger dog was best friends with hers, her dog Vanta is super friendly and gave my dog a workout in her fenced yard. Her child was great with my smaller dog mophie, they ended up best friends by the end of it and used to cuddle all the time! Unfortunately I had to move away but would 1000% recommend her!”
“Nice family. I left my pets with Kris for a few weeks and everything went well. Glad I found someone I can trust in Indiana and plan on using if I ever need a sitter again. Fenced in backyard for dogs to play mine seemed to enjoy it a lot.”
