“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Sarah did an excellent job with our girls Molly and Chloe. Molly is very picky about who she "likes". I was happy to see her playing and coming out when Sarah was there. I will definitely book Sarah again when we need someone in the future.”
“Kara was awesome with my cat while I was on vacation. It was my first time leaving him by himself for an extended period of time and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands. She sent updates and pictures everyday, and it seems like he enjoyed her company! I definitely recommend Kara and will be a returning client!”
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”
“Wow! She went above and beyond for my husband and I. She drove 30 minutes (both ways!!!) to bring my two dogs to our wedding venue. Not only that but she watched my parents 3 dogs right after. 5 dogs total and she was wonderful. She kept us updated throughout the day and made my wedding day even more special.”
About: I would love to take care of your pet! I have taken care of dogs my whole life as I have had them as family pets since I was as young as 2. I currently have one dog, my sweet Yoshi, who you can see in some of my photos! (the Chihuahua/Daschund mix) He is my entire world and I only want the best for him. I would only want the best care for anyone else’s pet, the same as my own :) I currently work a regular 8-5 in downtown Indy. If located in the Indianapolis area, I can be available after my shifts end at 5pm, if closer to the Camby area then I can be available closer to 6pm when I usually get home :) On Saturday/Sundays I am open all day! Safety is the most important thing since your pets are your babies. I never assume anything about a dog and if anything you should assume the worst to avoid bad situations. For example, everytime I am watching a friends dog from inside their home, I always check their fenced in small yard for other animals, people, or even holes in the fence before I let them outside just in case. And to ensure safety when walking I always cross to the opposite side of the street if safe to and if not I step far to the side to allow other dog walkers to pass, just in case one of the animals is reactive.
“This was our first time having Danielle check in on our cat, Prissy. It was great having her send pictures of Prissy and being in contact with us while we were out of town. Prissy tends to hide when new people come to visit, so I really appreciate Danielle taking the time and care in making sure Prissy was okay. It makes our trip so much better when we know Prissy will be taken care of.”
“Darcie was very sweet with my cat! I booked her on shorter notice because my first plans fell through, and she was really flexible with her time. My cat is a bit feisty, and they got along so well! I would definitely rebook Darcie.”
About: I've taken care of cats/dogs/guinea pigs of my own over the years since I was young. Friends trust me to watch their fur babies. I'm currently available anytime to care for your fur babies. I've been an Executive for 21 years with an advanced degree and am taking a break from the workforce to reset, raise my daughter, and breathe. I will happily take care of your fur babies in their domain that they know. I will also offer cleaning, laundry, dish washing services or organization services if desired. I will keep your home tidy.
About: Prior to college I worked Noah's Caring Hands on Sunnyside Road as a pet care specialist. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I am experienced in all ranges of dog/cat ages and needs. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).
“Riley was great with Harper B! Riley came by to meet Harper before the drop-in visit. It's clear she has experience with dogs and is easy-going. The day-of, she sent me many photos of Harper having a great time playing in the yard. And when I came home, Harper was relaxed and calm because she'd had such fun mid-day with Riley.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have been taking care of my own pets for 11 years now. My family have relied on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation. I would love to extend my love for animals by helping you take care of your fur babies when you’re not able to. I’m currently working full time. I’m able care to for your pet’s needs before I go to work and after I get home from work. I always feed and water my pets in the morning and let my dog outside in our fence in yard to use the bathroom. Then when I get home from work I make sure my pets have water, will fed my dog again, and take him outside to use the bathroom. I try to take my dog on a daily walk every evening. On the weekends I don’t work so I’m able to tend to the pets more. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. I also have two cats that are very friendly as well. I know how it is to be away from your fur babies so I will make sure to send lots of pictures and updates.
About: As a child, I had several pet dogs. As an adult, I had two great dogs for the family. Now recently retired, I occasionally sit and dog-walk two grand dogs. As a retiree, my schedule is quite flexible. I am available any day of the week. I can walk or check in on your pet at any time during the day. I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.
About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
“Kaylee is amazing! She took wonderful care of my dog and even assisted me with some cat issues for which I hadn’t even scheduled her for! She went over and above and sent great pictures with every visit as well!! Will definitely request Kaylee again next time!!!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Young
Tess did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. One of our cats has diabetes and she did great administering his insulin. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures that we very much looked forward to. There were a few things that came up at the house that I needed help with, and she went above and beyond to help out. I was able to relax knowing my kiddos were in great hands. Will 110% book with Tess again!
Sarah was GREAT again!! She's very easy to work with, and takes exceptional care of our pup! She's very patient with our sometimes rambunctious dog, and follows his routines to help keep him calm. She did a great job taking care of our dog and our friends dog, sending lots of picture updates and making sure they were both happy and worn out by the time she left. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
