“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”
“Brendan is always great with our dog! We had to unexpectedly extend our time away and he was very accomodating about the changes and incredibly helpful. Our dog always comes back from Brendan’s very happy and doesn’t want to leave!”
“Jennifer was very attentive and accommodating to ensure my anxious dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. I received photos often which showed my girl going for walks, snuggling on the couch, and enjoying the backyard.”
“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”
“Jonathan was amazing! Our dog is young and very high energy and I felt safe leaving her with a very capable sitter and dog trainer! Also he sent videos and updates and she loved it there! Thank you JC, for taking such good care of our baby girl! We will definitely book again!”
“When we are away, we are so comfortable leaving our fur babies with Brook and Cameron. They will always be my first choice. Thank you both for taking such good care of Maverick and Mia! It's reassuring knowing they are well taken care of.”
“Paige was wonderful with Max and so sweet! We loved seeing daily pictures of him being part of the family just like at home. We will definitely check with Paige next time we travel! ❤️”
“Zula had so much fun staying at Leta’s home and playing with her fur family. I received pictures and video every day with updates. It was as if Leta had known Zula for years. She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”
“I could not be more grateful for the attention, care and acceptance on the same day as Earlie; she is a loving and dedicated person, she was our angel with Sharow. Excellent service and kept me in the loop, Zeus enjoyed sharing while we were on the road, we had issues with the app but she was very accessible. thank you!!”
“Adam and Allison are amazing! Our dogs had such a great time, I don’t think they even wanted to come home with us! They sent regular updates and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. They were exhausted once we got home which just shows how much fun they had. We will definitely be using them for our future trips!”
“Always such a pleasant experience boarding our Dalmatian with Julie when we go out of town. Quick responses, lots of pictures, and total peace of mind for us during our trips. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”
“Julie was amazing! She had great communication and sent pictures every day. Winnie seemed very happy with her stay and we felt very comfortable having her there! Will be booking again!”
“Amazing experience. Nico received constant attention, care, and love the entire time he stayed there. I also received lots of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own dog. It’s hard to find people you fully trust with your dog, but I felt completely comfortable knowing Nico was in such good hands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and I’ll definitely use them again in the future.”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“I’m a first time Rover user, Rajesh did a wonderful job taking care of Coco and his various care needs. He sent daily updates and videos of Coco having fun and being spoiled. He truly cares very much for the pups in his care and I will definitely use him again. Thank you Rajesh!”
“Amy and Caleb T. are a couple of rock stars in the pet care industry. I truly appreciate the clear communication they provided from the beginning. They were able to accommodate my dog and me on short notice. Even on a few days’ notice, we were able to have a quick meet-and-greet, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. I also appreciate the pictures they sent me during my trip, which made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was having a great time with them. I definitely plan to book with them in the future because of their exceptional service. From any concerns they may have had to the fun-loving pictures they sent me, everything was great. Thank you all so much for taking care of my boy.”
“Phyllis was so great with Diesel who is a blind husky, send photo to show how good he is doing. And we can tell Diesel was very happy at her place. Will definitely use her services again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alfont
Kylie was awesome! Our dog was a rescue and can be hesitant around new people but the minute he saw Kylie, he acted like he had known her his whole. She sent us updates to let us know he was enjoying his stay which made us feel less guilty about vacationing without him. He spends his days lounging on the couch at home so going to a kennel would have been extremely difficult. Kylie allowed him to continue his pampered lifestyle. We will definitely be using Kylie’s services again. Thank you so much Kylie!

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 dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Alfont can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s 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 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 Alfont 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 Alfont.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s 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 Alfont. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Alfont 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll 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.
