“Andrea & Paul are wonderful sitters! They took great care of my dogs, sent lots of pictures and were open-minded to uncertain drop off and pick up times due to last minute scheduling changes. It was evident that they truly cared for my dogs, and we will continue to schedule sittings with them for as long as they are dogsitting!”

“Shawne and her husband were very welcoming and ready for the dogs upon arrival. They were receptive to the dogs' routines and ready with kennels. They have outdoor space and live in a nice neighborhood. Shawne was really great at keeping us updated with texts and pictures. The boys were happy and had so much fun that they were exhausted when we got them back from all of the fun activities.”

“What can I say about Natasha..... we absolutely loved her!!!! This was the 1st time we were away from Denim since we adopted him in May. He's so skittish around new people we were afraid to leave him anywhere. Natasha assured me he'd be in great hands and boy was she right. She spoiled him and loved on him just as we would have. She was available last minute (3hrs before on a holiday weekend) which wad so great. We met at her home and stayed for about 15-20mins until Denim felt comfortable and let her give him belly rubs. She was super patient and didn't mind me checking in on him. She even provided me some photos of him relaxing like he took over her home. I'm super thankful for all she did and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trusting person to care for their fur baby. I can't wait to contact her again in the future ??”

About: I am a registered nurse with a passion for animals of all kind. I have Years of obedience and agility training with dogs and 20 plus years with horses! I have the options of in house or barn boarding/ combos throughout the day depending on what your dog prefers!!! In house would be access to my family and all home luxuries! The barn is a 10x12 kennel with matted stalls and access to a huge outdoor play lot. My dog yard is a spacious 1/2 acre and fully fenced! Your dogs will see a horse and donkey in the pasture behind the yard! Safety comes first inside of my home as I do have children. Let your pup come have some fun! Living the farm animals are my life! I am a mother and work a few flexible short nursing shifts here and there so home A LOT! I have a secure and sturdy fenced in yard with lots of room to roam around. When I am home they can be in or out as much as they please! Free range while I’m not home just dog dependent. If your dog prefers to be outside in the kennel with access to fresh air while needing a safe space while I’m away for a minute that’s an option too! Again dog dependent as safety is my priority but we love hikes, walks and outings which they are more than welcome to join in on!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Alida

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alida. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

97% of sitters in Alida 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 Alida 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 Alida.

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 Alida. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 Alida 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.
