âChelsea 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.â

âMaddie 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.â

âIâm so thankful for Victoria! My dog, Penny, was so happy and well taken care of. She sent me regular updates and I was really at peace knowing things were going well. If sheâs available, I will definitely use Victoria again.â

âSavannah watched my puppy while I was gone for a few days. He loved hanging with her and her dogs! She took good care of him while he had a bellyache and was worn out when he got home. Definitely recommend!â

âWonderfully 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.â

âI Will recommend everyone else. She is really pacient. The place is awesome and the service is beyond words. I was beond happy with the service. That's our nanny for our dog.â

âPhoebe had a lovely stay with Christine! She had fun playing with Christineâs dogs. Christine took great care of her, making sure Phoebe was comfortable. I will definitely book with Christine again!â

About: Hi! Iâm Jenna, a lifelong Bloomingtonian and best friend to every dog Iâve ever met! I am a stay-at-home mom to a preschooler and I also help manage a national non-profit rescue for French Bulldogs. Simply put-dogs are my people! I have always deeply connected with dogs since I was a kid. There is no other creature like a dog, and the unconditional love they give is unlike anything else. Before I was a mom, my dogs were my babies. After I became a mom, my dogs were still my babies. I have deeply loved many bulldogs in my lifetime, and as such am very adept to handling brachycephalic breeds and their particular needs. (Though it should be noted I tend to regular-nosed breeds with the same loving care!) I am very comfortable caring for animals with moderate medical needs, those with disabilities, seniors, those requiring medication administration, etc. I have cared for hospice dogs, dietary restrictions, Mega-esophagus, Colitis, deafness and total blindness. You could say that special needs are my specialty. I have over 20 years of experience helping folks take care of their animal babies, from Pugs to Cane Corsos, several kitties and even some reptiles in between. I understand that all our animals are precious and I will take care of them all with the same attention and protectiveness I give my own. When you cannot be with them, you donât want to worry about them. I get that. I cannot replace you but I can guarantee your baby will be loved, safe and a little spoiled until you get back. I am new to Rover, but very experienced. I am happy to do drop-ins, daycare or walks-whatever you need. As a dog mom who knows you have lots of choices and only want the best for your little buddies, I can promise that you can trust me with your babies. I currently work for a dog rescue remotely and am otherwise a stay-at-home-mom to a preschooler. I currently foster one rescue frenchie who lives with us and is sweet and tolerant to all my Rover guests. I care for pets in the way that is safest for them, regardless of where that is. In my home, dogs are under my constant watch. We live far from the road (about .15 miles) but pets will be kept leashed beside me outdoors since my yard is not fenced .

âTasha was fantastic and took great care of my cat, Frankie! She was very flexible when it came to dropping him off/picking him up, and sent frequent picture and video updates. Frankie had a lot of new friends to play with, and I loved seeing how easily he adjusted with a welcoming host!â

âWe left our two pups with Nichole for almost 3 weeks when we needed to go on a business trip. It was the longest we have ever left our pups with anyone and we were nervous. We set up a greet and meet and were able to meet Nichole and see her home and set up. She made us feel comfortable and showed how knowledgeable she was about frenchies and pup care overall. Our two dogs had a great time. Nichole provided pictures and videos and kept us updated on how Marshie and Dixie were doing the whole time. Very happy overall with the experience and will definitely look at having our pups stay with them again.â


âZiggy can be very anxious around new people so I'm always nervous leaving him but Kelly was great with him and with building his trust! I also loved all the photos and updates. He came back happy and tired from playing with all the dogsâ

About: Iâve been around animals my entire life â my family has always had both dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I had 3 cats at once growing up in my moms house as well! Iâve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, training basics, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention. I have an equal amount of love when it comes to cats and dogs! Iâm comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes â from small cats and puppies to large, energetic dogs. Whether itâs a calm cuddle session or a long walk for exercise, I enjoy adapting to each petâs unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine since I am available most of the week. Iâm flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings on those days, and I can adjust to your petâs schedule to make sure theyâre comfortable and well cared for. I do live in an apartment, but I also have a safe balcony that your pets can get fresh air and relax on if they like being outside often! I always treat pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. Whether that means following their feeding routine, giving them bathroom breaks, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling, I make sure they feel cared for while youâre away.
âSavanna did an amazing job taking care of our kitten! She was very accommodating to his needs and ours--meeting us first and discussing all the details, feeding him as often as he needed at his age. We got pictures and videos of him while we were on our trip. He was in great hands!â

âLaura was absolutely amazing!!! This was the first time Iâve ever left my dog with non family and Lucy was so happy the entire time! Sheâs a 2 yo GSD with a lot of love to give but she can be a lot for some people and Laura had zero issues. If you are ever in the area or in need of an exceptional dog sitter do not hesitate! She literally drove over just to meet Lucy prior to sitting. It blew me away how effortless this whole thing was aside from me being the nervous dog dad BUT she sent me photos throughout the evening and in the morning which helped so much! I cannot wait to use her services again.â


âI canât recommend her enough! She was so sweet and kept me updated the entire time with tons of pictures and messages. Cooper had an absolute blast at her house, especially playing with her dog. It made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!â

âStephanie saved us at the last minute when the plans I made for my dogs fell through. She was flexible as things continued to change and my boys came back happy and healthy!â


About: Iâve taken care of dogs on and off for a side job for 2 years. Iâm very actice and love taking my own dogs on walks. I love dogs and cats, iâm very well organized and I will make sure your animal is loved, well taken care of and comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets! Iâm happy to discuss scheduling, and Iâll do my best to accommodate your petâs routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. My goal is to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while youâre away! Your petâs safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Since I have two dogs of my own who are not comfortable around other dogs, I provide pet-sitting services in your home rather than mine. This allows your pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. Iâll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and responsible care while youâre away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring hands!

If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
99% of sitters in Whitaker can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dogâs usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Whitaker home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Whitaker.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitaker. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Whitaker sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, youâre adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. Youâll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
