“Megan and Lois are my go to pet sitters for Daisy Mae. The communication and updates are great and always include a picture of Daisy Mae. They always make us feel welcome when dropping off and picking up. Can’t say enough good things about Megan & Lois and how they take care of Daisy Mae 5 stars is not enough. Definitely worth booking with them”
“Mallory took good care of Jiggly for a week and shared regular updates with the pics. Jiggly’s vegan food, his playpen accommodations were very well taken care of and he was provided a good play time with Mia. Would definitely be boarding Jiggly with Mallory again in the future”
“Josh was super great at communicating with us and really flexible with pick up/drop off when we needed to make changes. Our dog Walter was very well taken care of and we would absolutely recommend Josh as a pet sitter!”
“Heather was amazing with our anxious Boston! She provided daily updates and we were thrilled with the care she received. She even washed the dog’s blankets before we picked her up. She went above and beyond for our pup. We will definitely use her again!”
“Shadow enjoyed his short one-night stay with Kristen and will be going back again next weekend! She was good about our request to help him with stairs since we had noticed one of his legs bothering him. Kristen was great with communication and pictures.”
“Zoe provided exceptional care for our dog Luna during her five‑day stay from July 1–5. She is truly a compassionate and attentive sitter. Zoe took the time to meet Luna beforehand, followed all of our feeding and walking instructions, and went above and beyond during a holiday weekend full of fireworks and storms — situations that normally cause Luna a lot of stress. Zoe used Luna’s snuggle harness and headphones exactly as instructed for fireworks and potential thunderstorms which included extra snuggling by Zoe and her son to get through these extra loud events. Luna also enjoyed fun outings with Zoe and her family, and the photos we received throughout each day were such a comfort. Luna had a great time playing in Zoe's large yard where Luna could exercise her zoomie runs with Zoe! Zoe’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. She even handled pickup and drop‑off for Luna, making the entire experience seamless. We are incredibly grateful for the care Zoe provided. Luna adored her, her son, and her extended family. We would trust Zoe again without hesitation!”
“Taylor took great care of our 7 year old Aussie. He got comfort and exercise. Taylor is a true dog lover. Unfortunately she is an hour away from us BUT worth it and close to the Indiana lake that we visit.”
“Katie was amazing! She took in Kapri for several days sending daily updates with details of the day and activities. I was at so much ease knowing how Kapri settled and was cared for. Will definitely book again”
“Dustin was a last minute schedule and he was great to me and my 4 dogs. He kept me up to date with plenty of photos and videos. My mind was at ease during my time away from my dogs whom I tend to worry about when they are not with me. My work trip was very busy and Dustin was always on schedule with dog updates. I never had to send reminders or wondered how my dogs were doing. I will use his services again. Thank you Dustin!”
“Viral and his wife were great with my high energy Shiba Inu! They sent a bunch of photos and videos to keep us updated on him, while we were away, which was great for peace of mind! 10/10 recommend!”

With over ten years of experience, I am here to provide dependable and safe care for you fur babies! I work full time Monday through Friday, 8-5, but am willing to stay in your home or have your babies brought to mine. We have a wonderful 3 year old boarder collie, who adores other animals. Otherwise, I do not mind traveling. On the weekends, I am available the entire day. **Extended Stay Cancellation Policy** For bookings lasting 7 nights or longer, I require a minimum of 3 weeks (21 days) notice for cancellations. Longer stays require me to reserve a significant portion of my calendar and often mean turning down other clients. Because of this, cancellations made less than 21 days before the scheduled start date may not be eligible for a full refund. I completely understand that unexpected circumstances can happen, and I’m always happy to communicate and work with clients when possible. Thank you for understanding and respecting the time I’ve reserved specifically for you and your pets! 🐾 I love going for walks, as well as believe in enrichment activities. I will be sure to respect any schedules in place, including medications needed or if your puppy needs to be brought to a training class!

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 Alto 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 Alto 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 Alto.
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 Alto. On Rover:
- 91% 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 Alto 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.
