“Lexi was a life saver! I had a walker cancel on me and she did not hesitate to walk my two dogs last minute. After a brief video call I felt I could trust her. Definitely recommend Lexi to anyone who is in need of their furry babies looked after!”

“Haley is an absolute angel. My dog Kora adores her. She is punctual and really wants to get to know your pet so she can give the best care possible. I was so impressed by all the questions she asked during our meet and greet - that spoke volumes about her.”

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: I have taken care of animals for friends and family for years! I love taking care of dogs and cats, and giving them extra love. I’m temporarily unemployed (actively looking for a job) so I have all the availability in the world. Once I have a new position, I’ll readjust! I’m a very adaptable person who love rules and information, I’ll always work closely with you to ensure your fur babies’ have the consistency needed.

“Katherine has been a life saver since going back to working 12 hour shifts. She is very reliable, communicative, and kind. My pup always seems really happy when I come home and I have peace of mind knowing Bowser is in good hands when I’m working.”

About: I grew up with a family that owned a pet store and cared for shelter animals and rehomes. I became a loving dog person who previously had a yellow lab. I have also cared for other pets such as parrots, lizards, chickens, and even getting tr mail and grocery shopping for people. I am Willing to work with your schedule and get your pup the care he/she needs. As for in home visits I have been doing that for a number of people for the past 4 years. Also Willing to discuss whatever situation on an anytime basis. I am 24 years old and originally from Indiana. Looking to make extra money over the summer by doing something I love and care about. My range is large. Bedford, bloomington, elletsville, and mitchell area.

About: I have been house sitting and taking care of pets throughout high school and college. I have two cats of my own. I treat any pet as if it is my own when watching them! I am free a lot of the time and can work around many different schedules. I am easy to work with and am very flexible! I play with my own cats every chance I get and make sure they have everything they could need or want. I do this with the pets I watch as well because that’s how I would want my cats taken care of!

About: Ian and Mya have taken care of all sizes and types of dogs, including dogs with special needs and at various stages of potty training. We are former Purdue Cross Country and Track runners, and still maintain an active lifestyle, so we can go on as many walks or runs as you request. We train our labrador Sunny daily, and have received numerous feedback from friends on how well-trained she is, as well as how loved and cared for she is (she truly is our fur baby!). We like to treat other people’s pets like they are our own while they are with us, so if you are comfortable, we often like to give a complementary brush, bath, and nail trim:) Ian's schedule is flexible, working on a post-baccalaureate research project virtually, while Mya provides full time dog-care after finishing her graduate degree at Purdue this August. We are grateful for our current flexibility to provide personalized, attentive care to Sunny, and any dog that we care for! Every morning we take Sunny out to use the bathroom first thing, and then we then quickly head inside for her to go to her "place", do a little bit of training, and then give her an "eat" command to eat her breakfast. We let breakfast settle for at least an hour while we eat and drink our coffee, before any walking for Sunny to eliminate the risk of bloat (which is a serious and prevalent issue for large dogs). While we work from home throughout the day, Sunny plays with her toys and naps. As it begins to cool off, we head out on a nice long off leash walk in the evening. We let Sunny out as needed throughout the day, with short sniff/walk breaks. For dinner, we follow a similar routine as breakfast, but occasionally will use her dinner kibble for further training or rewards, such as nail trimmings, specific skill work, brushing, etc. We administer Sunny's daily medication at dinner, either on top of her food, or by safely placing the pill in the back of her mouth. After her last evening potty break, and before bed, Sunny loves to have at least 10-15 minutes of play time and focused attention for cuddling. Sunny is crate trained, but we also have a Furbo in our main living space, to ensure she is safe if we leave her to nap on the couch when we are gone. Your pup will follow a similar routine as Sunny, unless otherwise specified. We are happy to accomodate for you:)

“I can confidently say we loved Catherine! She went above and beyond when we had her watch over our dog when we were out of state. She always kept us updated each visit with pictures and a little summary what happened during their visit together. Catherine really does care for the well being of dogs and even hung out a little extra just because she could tell our dog needed it while we were away. Our kitty enjoyed the attention too. We absolutely loved her and will rebook again when we need to!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12 years old and am often told that I am the animal "whisperer"! I love animals and learning each one's personality is my specialty. I have experience in house sitting, dog walking, feeding times, learning what is comfortable with each animal and any medications, along with how each animal prefers to take them! If there are any specific needs that animals prefer or need, I adjust and adapt very easily to those needs. I just graduated from IUPUI and acquired a work from home job that allows me to have plenty of time for your fur babies! Besides the work from home job, I clean residential homes occasionally. My schedule is easily adjusted as needed! As an animal lover, I can ensure that your babies are treated with respect and love. It is my belief that animals should always have the best treatment regardless of any circumstances. Animals have different personalities and those personalities speak out through their actions. I'm very good at picking up on different personalities such as when they are scared, happy, shy, sad and etc. Not only am I good at picking up on these emotions but I'm trained in reacting in a positive way towards those emotions that will help establish trust and safety. Trust and a safe environment are key to helping with anxiety your animal might have in the time they are not with you!

“Leah was great! She was easy to book and easy to work with. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends animals since I was very young. My parents let me have my own guinea pig to take care of myself starting in kindergarten. I’ve always loved animals and will help in anyway I can. I care for my elderly pugs on a daily basis. I work as a nanny and am a student but only in the morning and they are both very flexible so I can add in my needs with animal sitting. I’m available most night as well. I will follow all the instructions listed for me to do. I like to make sure the house is spotless when the owners get home so they can relax. I will take care of the animals by doing all I can to make sure they feel safe and cared for as well.

About: Hi I’m Carlie! I have had animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a special place in my heart. My family has rescued 3 over the years and I recently rescued my own precious baby Avalon! (Although she definitely rescued me!) I have tons of experience caring for animals and it is something I’m very passionate about! I love taking my dogs to the dog park! I love going on hikes and walks with them as well! There’s also a box full of tennis balls I have stored for all the fetch we could ever play! :) I have great knowledge on feeding and caring for dogs in whatever way you may need! I’m so excited you’re reading this and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies! ❤️ I am currently offering my services from 9am until around 4pm each day! I am open to working around schedules as well if that is needed! I promise to always abide and respect all the rules and wishes you may have for your pets while in my care! I would never put your babies in harms way!

About: Dogs are a marvelous source of companionship. I show them compassion and are attentive to their needs. I enjoy running with dogs, playing fetch, holding, and petting dogs. I have experience in playing with dogs, grooming, bathing, feeding, and walking dogs. While growing as a young child, my dad brought home various dogs at sundry times. I was the dog's main caregiver. My mother eventually would release the dogs because she did not like them, but I was able to build a solid experience and bond with them before she did. In Jamaica where my parents were born, their are many outdoor dogs roaming the streets. I easily befriend them and usually play with them and feed them. My schedule is flexible with me usually being available in the morning. If the price for my service is not suitable for you, I am open for negotiation. Call or text me. God bless you and your family.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, currently have an Australian shepherd named Birdie who i love with all my heart. I know how important it is for dogs to be able to get that energy out with a nice walk. Im available basically whenever just need a days notice. I typically prefer mornings most days. But im not opposed to other types of scheduling! Just let me know! Im just available for walks. You can definitely trust me with your dog. I know how important dogs are to a family. My dog is like my child.

“Megan took a last minute booking for us thankfully!! I was able to see where she walked the dog and she fed her and sent pics as we asked her to. Very happy with Megan; thanks so much!! Will definitely use you again!!”
