“Wendy does such an awesome job watching our two pups. They both have different personalities and she does great with both. She gives us such peace of mind that they are in good hands. Makes times away more enjoyable. She is great at communicating.”
About: I have several years of professional experience working in pet stores, which has provided me invaluable hands-on experience with a wide variety of species. However, I hold myself to a much higher standard than what is typically expected in a retail setting. My passion for working with animals is rooted in deep empathy and a continuous commitment to self-education. I am capable of administering medications, providing first aid, and accommodating pets with disabilities. I am also trained in identifying common health issues such as fleas, ringworm, heat stress, and others. Other relevant experience include years of dog walking and pet sitting for friends, 4-H rabbit projects, volunteer work for the National Park Service, a letter of recognition from a former governor for promoting animal conservation, and a certificate in rat tickling from Purdue University. My schedule is very flexible for any time of day, any day of the week. I am open to working holidays. I can usually work around last-minute arrangements and schedule changes. Foremost, I am respectful of your personal property and privacy. Hygiene/cleanliness for your pet, your home, and for myself is also a priority. I understand if you have cameras in your home for peace of mind. I am happy to regularly check in with you and send photos as well.
“Holly was great taking care of my pup while I was out of town! She took the time to stop by before my trip to do a meet and greet as well which was appreciated. Would recommend!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times. I am available all day every day for any kind of pet needs, and I can house cats overnight, however, I am unable to house dogs overnight. I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.
“Super sitter! Always asks questions, pays great attention to the dogs, and even though I had nothing, always asks what he can improve on. My dogs enjoyed their time with him during a full day of house sitting, and he was very attentive and flexible with our schedule.”
“Daniel was excellent. Took care of my kitties while I was out of the country for 2 weeks and constantly kept me in the loop and sent me pictures of them daily. Would highly recommend him.”
About: College student available for part time help. Missing my dogs while at school!! I am a responsible, springer spaniel lover, and have been lifelong dog owner and carer most of my life. I am a senior in the Kelley School. Able to walk your dog mid-day or end of day most days throughout the week. Available on the weekends (around the football schedule!) I love to keep dogs company, get them moving, play with them. I like to make sure they’re comfortable and have their space, whether close or far from me.
“Tasha did a great job dog sitting Nala for me! She was kind, attentive, and caring toward Nala and was willing to work with me on scheduling! It was so nice to be able to go out of town for a night and have peace of mind knowing my girl was being taken care of by a fellow animal lover :)”
“Rebekah did an incredible job both house sitting and dog sitting our dog Arthur! We were so nervous to leave our fur baby and she made us feel so comfortable with her sweet updates! We highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and family friends dogs since I was around 10 years old. From taking care of their basic needs, to loving and giving them all the attention they need and deserve, many have relied on my services to take care of their pets!! I am currently a student, but have a great deal of free time to hang and care for your pets! I am available most weekends, and many days throughout the week at various points each day. Because of my many years of experience with pets, I can cater to your pets needs depending on your home and preferences, respecting your space and privacy as needed while still giving your pet(s) the attention they deserve!!
“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”
About: I have been pet sitting for as long as I can remember! I am a part-time Animal Care Specialist at a training and boarding facility while also attending college at IU! This means I have loads of experience both professionally and informally with animals! I am very accommodating and would love to help your pet adjust however you see fit! I am currently working part-time and attending college courses at IU. This means that besides those set times, I am free for house/pet sitting, drop-in visits, and long walks/playtime! I follow every client’s instructions to a T and will go above and beyond to give your pet the best care I am able to. I am comfortable working in any environment and have the necessary training to access behavior and the safety of your pet!
About: I've taken care of many pets in my lifetime, including pet and house sitting for family and friends. I love most animals (snakes scare me). I live in the last house on a dead end county road and have plenty of room for animals to play and have fun. Plus, my kids and our pets will have fun visiting and playing with your pets. I currently work weekends only as a RN. I am home Mondays-Thursdays. I do have 3 kids of my own, so I do have to get them to and from school. We have a large yard for pets to play. Dogs will always be on leashes as our yard is in currently fenced. We live in the last house on a dead end country road, so no cars come past our home. I can easily crate your pet if needed. We have a friendly female dog and 3 friendly cats.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Brook Downs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Brook Downs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Brook Downs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
