About: I’m a multiple pet owner, with a love of animals and some extra time to take care of yours! I’m great with dogs, especially the big mean scary ones. They can tell right away that I just don’t get intimidated, so we always get along. I love cats, too! My goal is to always get to tummy rubs! And parrots love me for some reason, lol. Since I was little, I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, rats, raccoons, fish, turtles, lizards, snakes, frogs, and maybe something I forgot…☺️ I work full time, but the youngest just graduated and I have to find a hobby (and maybe start paying for all that stuff you need when the kids are still at home, lol). I currently help my wife Caitlin on Rover when she’s booked full, or whenever she gets a particularly challenging animal, and I really enjoy it. I follow all instructions, knowing that routine and comfort are essential to our little ones. I can do stop-in visits in the morning and at lunchtime, and extended visits in the evenings and on weekends.
“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”
“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping routines consistent. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different temperaments, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my week, allowing me to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and care 😊 Imaintain a safe, clean environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. Feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress free.
“I highly recommend Abbigail! I was able to book her for a drop-in on very short notice. I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and she has experience with big dogs. She was communicative and took lots of pictures!”
About: I have owned pets all my life and always hated boarding my pets due to the stress they endure thats why I offer my services. I also offer care for cats and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs ect. As of right now I am available anytime. Ive worked at vet clinics and volunteered at shelters. Ive taken care of senior dogs, hyper and young dogs. Also have administered meds to animals. Recently I have watched farm animals such as chickens,goats,horses and a Llama. I currently have 4 dogs of my own and 2 of my moms dogs. We have 1 cat. Ive had several dogs and 2 other cats in the past as well as 2 rabbits. I also have been petsitting since 2012 and have refrences. I do walks with dogs. I also offer nail trims, brush outs ECT. If you would like to know more please message me and I would be happy to answer. I do also have a Facebook page Howling Hounds Pet Care. Unfortunately my prices have increased due to Rover taking 20%. Please note i am willing to work with people on pricing if contacted PRIOR to services. I am currently doing this as my full time employment as I go to school for pet grooming in the spring. I am an owner to 4 crazy beagles so I know what it's like to make sure pets have the stress free environment when we are gone. All pet care is done in the client's home. This creates more calmness within the pet and less stress. They can be where they are used to.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I trained one of my personal dogs for 4-H. I train all of my pets basic skills. I am able to care for all ages of dogs. I am currently a student. I am looking for activities to fill in my free time in summer. I care for my own pets daily. I have a large yard and 2 very sweet dogs and 2 loving indoor cats. At a clients home I will care for them in the best way I possibly can.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for a little over 6 years now . I first started with dog walking and realized how much I enjoy being with animals and taking care of them. I’ve watched dogs and cat for family and friends. I’d love to start caring for animals more so I can eventually turn it into a full time job. I’m currently working a full time job. I get off of work around 3:30 or 4:00 and I go in at 8:00 AM. I will mostly be watching animals after I get done with my job. I would mostly be watching animals in the clients home as my home is not set up to have pets in it as of right now.
About: Animal love was bred into me. My father grew up on a farm and my mother was a vet tech. I've had animals my entire life. I have been a dog breeder, a volunteer for shelters, I've worked in a pet store, I've helped operate a dog boarding facility for the past 15 1/2 years, and a dog groomer. I am different from others as I specialize in whole pet care, from health and nutrition going in, to calories being burnt off through exercise and play. A tired pet is a well behaved pet. I like to engage their minds while also allowing them the freedom to be a dog, though digging in the yard is a huge no no. I'd like to get to know your pet and love them as if they were my own. My husband and I freelance from home. So whether your pup needs daycare, a bath, an overnight stay or an extended stay, your furbaby has a place to go where they are treated like part of the family. My husband and I, offer our fur clients the freedom to roam our home or we can offer crate training if needed for their comfort or security.
About: I love dogs! I have three of my own at home that I have taken care of. I also have a cat who I love! I also have experience dog sitting for families. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and hanging out with other’s pets. I am an elementary teacher on summer break. My schedule is very open and flexible. I am available for walks, home visits, boarding, and more. I live in a house in Warsaw with a big yard for pets to go potty and walk on. I am also open to going to your house.
“Amanda is awesome! She was great with all our animals, and she wasn't intimidated by our giant great dane. She was very communicative and responded quickly. She is trustworthy and reliable, and we will definitely continue to use her for our pet care!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds with my boys for years in our neighborhood and our friend circle. We’d like to expand polar reach and help others with their pet sitting needs in the Warsaw area. We are available most week days after 3:30 and all day most weekends. We can work out most situations and are pretty flexible to meet your needs. We have several neighbors who have trusted us with their house keys, garage entry codes, etc. We take good care of our clients homes and pets and treat them like if they were our own. You can trust us.
About: What sets me apart from others on Rover, is I take this line of work seriously and I usually go above in beyond. If I am selected to sleep at the house you can expect me to actually sleep there. For every one of my client's I have always slept the night until the end. If a puppy is on site I do continue to train the basics, unless other skills are specified to be trained. I love to keep them active and happy! I spend all my free time with your fur baby! I love to give them time to play and run. I enjoy taking them for walks, or giving them a bath! For boarding, I do not have a fenced yard, but I have an electric fence along with an additional collar. If that is not acceptable to you then I will keep the dog on a regular leash during potty breaks. I have two fur babies of my own that do wonderful with new dogs, they love to play! I live in a suburban neighborhood with a perfect loop to take walks. I can also provide a large crate if needed, otherwise the pet will sleep with me. I do allow them on my bed :) For house sitting+dog, I would follow any instruction given to me! Otherwise I assume the dog is yard trained and won’t bolt across the street. If this is a concern of yours then I ask to please provide me with a leash, thank you! If you do not allow your pets on your furniture then I will continue that behavior for you.
About: I have dog sat since high school and have always had a positive experience with it. Your babies will be loved on and cared for like they are mine. I have a dog and a cat who are spoiled! Your animals will be cared for so you don’t have to worry while you are off, because I am just as protective over my own! I worked at a K-9 training facility so I am very experienced with taking care of animals and cleaning up after them. I also worked at a grooming company for an internship and got to experience bathing, brushing and combing dogs! I also have experience with cats, as I just got one myself. I am also experienced with giving medication. Right now, pet sitting is my only gig so your animals will be taken care of and I will spend my time loving on them! Sometime in the near future I plan on becoming a substitute teacher, but for right now I really want to work with animals. I have a fenced in yard, it is pretty small but enough room for dogs to go potty. I have a very friendly, 3 year old Golden Retriever (Baker) and his best friend is a cat (Henry) who we recently adopted.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Winona Lake
Caitlin helped me use Rover for the first time. She communicated with me. She was prompt. She made sure the garage door was closed before entering our home in case our cat Sigil got out. She gave both cats food and water, she gave Sigil her two pills, and she sent photos of them, including one in which she's petting Calista. She asked if there was anything else I would like her to do. I would recommend Caitlin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Winona Lake on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 138 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Winona Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
