“Diana and Kevin were great!! This was the first time leaving our puppy Mabel so I was a little nervous but there was no reason to be. Diana took Mabel on walks and sent many updates. She replied to my messages quickly and was very responsive. We already have them booked for a future weekend getaway. Highly recommend!”
“Crystal was phenomenal! She was professional, reliable, and always quick to respond. Our pup was treated like a queen and came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Sara was very thoughtful and communicated during our Doberman’s stay and sent amazing photos. She made both drop off and pick up seamless as well. Looking forward to booking again with Sara in the future!”
“Our dog had a little ‘vacation’ of her own at Sarah’s while we went on vacation. . .Sarah gave frequent photos and spoiled her to death, she’s the best!! Can’t wait to use her again!”
“Aaron provided amazing service exceeding all my expectations! His communication was excellent sending updates everyday even multiple times a day. He offered FaceTime calls with my furry friend and treated him just like family! I will definitely rebook and I advise anyone else to do the same!”
“William cared well for our dog, Rosie. We appreciated that he was home during the days to spend time with her and he sent us updates each day. She came home happy!”
“Jessica and David took great care of Mocha. They communicated well, sent us lovely photos of our pooch during her stay, and treated her to a walk, car ride and pup cup. They are true dog people! Absolutely would book them again.”
“Julie and her family took incredible of our golden while we were out of the country!! This is our second time leaving Lily with Julie and we definitely will be again in the future. Thank you so much, again, Julie!! :)”
“Sailesh was fantastic with our Annie. I'd never left her with anyone and was a little nervous. Everything was perfect, and I loved getting updates and pictures each day.”
“We cannot say enough good things about Rajesh!!! He genuinely loves dogs and took great care of our 2-year old standard goldendoodle. Rajesh not only sent daily pictures or video, but also added a nice note, which really warmed our hearts to know that our Willy was having fun and under good care!”
“Melissa did a fantastic job with Chloe. She went above and beyond when my plans changed. Chloe was very well taken care of & we had no trouble resuming our normal schedule as soon as I returned after a 10 day trip. I received updates via text, photos & movies. I will be using her services again : )”
“I am so grateful to have found people that can take care of my Cocoa when I go out of town. They were very kind and accommodating. I could tell my girl had a great time.”
“Outstanding individual and family. I was a little worried that Coop wouldn’t want to leave. It was very satisfying knowing that Coop was in such good care. I would/will recommend Emily to anyone that I know who needs a phenomenal care provider for their pet.”
“Lori did an excellent job watching Cooper for a night and day. She took note of all his details upon drop off, had ample backyard space for him to run around and toys for him to play with. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great stay for their pup.”
“I’ve been sending my dogs to stay with Amanda and her family for years. Have even used her “pickup & drop off” service. Nothing but great things to say! My dogs always love going to visit their friends.”
“Dayna was great with Panny and although it was not a great fit for our dog in particular ( she can be a little old and grumpy) I would highly recommend her skills and sweet personality!”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 dog’s 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 Advance 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 Advance.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Advance sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and 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 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s 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, you’re 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.
