Sharon eased our worries with consistent communication, daily photos and videos. She promptly replied to our messages and questions. We were excited to receive daily photos and updates while on vacation. Most importantly, our fur baby was in a safe, calm and loving environment which enabled us to enjoy our vacation. Thank you Sharon for ensuring our baby was happy. We will definitely be boarding Beau with you in the future!”

“Once again Ciara took fantastic care of my doggos. This time I added a newly adopted dog to the mix, who was a bit of a skittish girl. But she did great with Ciara. I was also really, really late in returning from out of town to pick up the pups at the time I told her I would be back. Ciara was more than gracious. I really appreciate how calm and accommodating she was while I was stressed and road weary.”
“We were more than happy with our experience for boarding. You can tell George and Erin really loved on our pets from the pictures we recieved. We didn't feel worried at anytime, which helped us to enjoy our trip even more. I will use them again and definitely recommend.”
“Aspen was a great dog mom for my pups while I was out of town. She communicated clearly about the arrangements and expectations. She made sure the pups were taken care of and they had a blast. Came home worn out from playing. She also provided updates and pics while she was watching them. I would gladly use her again!”
“Kaitlin was great! Very quick to respond, very flexible. It was our first time with Rover and first time leaving our dog with someone he didn't know and she did a great job answering all of our questions and putting us at ease and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out!”
“I can't thank Missy enough for her help with the pups! They adore her and I'll be using her for the rest of my time here in Indiana. I've booked with her several times and highly recommend her. She was flexible with the drop off/pick up times, great with communication, and I can tell my pups love her and Willie <3”
“Robin took great care of my girls. She took special care to be sure she had all the details to make them feel right at home. She communicated and sent pictures both days I was gone. I am very pleased with their stay and will definitely use her again.”

“Ami took care of my buddy like he was her own. I got so many pictures of my anxious guy looking happy and comfortable. Ami certainly has experience in helping soothe dogs, and intuitively deduced a lot about what Jake needed to settle in. I was especially impressed with how many walks he got, and how his space was respected when he would choose a sleeping spot (even when his choice was inconvenient for household members)! I can't recommend Ami highly enough, and will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Cody was absolutely AMAZING!! He was very quick with replies and followed my care instructions very well. Sent updates often with pictures. Highly recommend!!!”

“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She followed all the instructions on our guide, sent proof-of-life pictures on every drop-in, and consistently communicated about the timing of her visits. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”
“Kaitlyn did an absolutely amazing job. I would go as far as saying above and beyond. I think our house is actually cleaner than when we left it lol! She is very communicative, responsive, sends updates, professional, and an animal whisperer. One of our cats eats for NO ONE but us, and on the first night Kaitlyn was able to get him to eat. She also came over for a meet and greet so the cats would be more familiar with her which was great. 10/10 would give more stars if I could and will for sure be using her services again in the future!”

I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Heather was AMAZING! She made my cats so comfortable and took such great care of them. Heather sent lots of photos of my two babies so I could see how relaxed and at home they were. I would use Heather’s services again and would highly recommend her and Rover!”

Whether that is high-anxiety care or medical needs. I will also provide frequent pictures of your fur babies and any other requests you need while they are in my care.

She was always on time for walks and kept me updated without me ever needing to ask. Scheduling with her was easy and stress‑free, and she spent real quality time with Cooper, not just quick check‑ins. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Breanna for anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”

“Rachel is always the best with our little girl. When we were running late to pick her up from doggie day care she let us know it was perfectly fine. We love how Bailey jumps out of the car and runs to see her doggie friends and greets Rachel with lots of love and doggie kisses. She is great and we will book again with her.”

About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.

“Melody is fantastic! I was apprehensive since this was my first time with Rover and it was the first time I was leaving my 5.5 month old pup with a sitter! Melody is very friendly and definitely very experienced! I felt at complete ease when I first met her! Zazu seemed to have had a fantastic day with her and her pups! She definitely treated him as one of her own pups! We will see you soon Melody!”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

My schedule is flexible and able to work around any pet care work I do. I also have over 10 years of experience in dog showing and have cared for both dogs and cats with a wide range of special needs. From senior pets and special diets to medical routines and individualized care, I understand how important it is to maintain consistency, patience, and compassion. I currently care for a diabetic senior cat and previously cared for my senior Pointer who required lifelong dietary management for bladder stones. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care tailored to their needs.
