“Chris was great!! He had no problem showing us where Daisy would be staying, sent us updates and pictures. Daisy was very happy when she came home, with other sitters/kennels she would be sad for 2-3 days. Will definitely be using again!!”
“This was our very first time using Rover and we were more than pleased with the level of care, attention and affection Kristen and her family provided for our little Maya. It was clear that Maya enjoyed every day she spent there. We won’t hesitate to rebook with Kristen in the future!”
“Destinee is amazing. Our high energy dog has stayed with her twice and she's been so great with him! We feel completely comfortable with her and never have to worry about our dog when we are gone.”
“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.”
“I have no words with how thrilled we are!! Our pack of 3 fur babies had a blast with Kieth at his house. They had free run every day and Kieth made sure they kept up with their commands. Before dropping off, Keith was sure to ask for an emergency contact and vet information just in case. My husband and I got pictures while we were gone. We got updates on how our pack was doing and getting along with the other dogs at his place.”
“Our first time using Rover and Tosha completely put us at ease. Her affectionate nature had our Huckleberry acting like he was at home instead of visiting at her place. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Kamela and her family took great care of our German Shepherd, Lucy. They were exceptional in their communication and care for our dog. We will definitely will be re-booking with Kamela!”
“I had travel plans all squared away and our usual sitter had an emergency and couldnt take care of our dog. Tammy was so fast in responding and took great care of our little one. I will definitly request Tammy's services for my next boarding. She is courteous, responsive and accomidating, and gets a five stars from me.”
“Everything went really well, Dita was really flexible and always sent us many updates and pictures which we really appreciated. Snickers seems to have enjoyed herself as well :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, routines, medications, and lots of attention. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure you get plenty of updates while they’re with me. I work a hybrid schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime care, walks, and check-ins. I’m also available most evenings Monday through Wednesday and have greater flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. I have a friendly dog of my own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I keep a calm, clean home and make sure pets have plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and downtime. I’m careful with introductions and will follow your feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions closely. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Nicole was excellent with our dog Prime. He is a larger very excitable dog and we always are concerned when finding a new sitter. But, Nicole was able to calm him and take him on walks. The pictures she sent during his stay showed a happy and content dog. We recommend Nicole highly and will definitely book again.”
“Rune loved her time with Tonya and apparently found a new best friend. Tonya was quick to respond, provided photos and a video during Rune's short weekend stay, and took Rune on with only a few days' notice. Rune did come back smelling strongly of, well, DOG..... but she also smells that way when coming home from daycare facilities (like Puppy Playground and Priority Boarding) since she's around so many pups. Will very likely have Tonya watch Rune again in the future. :)”
“Jess did a great job! Her communication was excellent and she treated our Molly just like she was her own dog. Molly got along great with Jess, her husband, and their cute little dog. It was a great experience, and we hope to use her again soon.”
About: My name is Shawna, and I am 20 years old. Im married with a baby on the way. I work 8-5 Monday-Friday as a medical assistant. I am very caring, I pay close attention to detail, and I love animals and treat them all as my own. While doing in home visits, I stay in the respected areas, listen and to the house rules of the pet owners. I am pretty available (evenings and weekends) and I normally answer my phone pretty quickly which puts people at ease. I am really easy going and friendly with everyone. I would love to pet sit for you just shoot me a message! As I mentioned previously, I have pets of my own who I take care if and love on daily. I have a dog, Ace and a cat, Proxima that depend on me daily. At others house's I will pay close attention how I leave the house making sure to lock doors, close gates, stay out of any areas that the owner does not want me in, and follow their house rules.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs on and off for a side job for 2 years. I’m very actice and love taking my own dogs on walks. I love dogs and cats, i’m very well organized and I will make sure your animal is loved, well taken care of and comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets! I’m happy to discuss scheduling, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. My goal is to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Since I have two dogs of my own who are not comfortable around other dogs, I provide pet-sitting services in your home rather than mine. This allows your pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and responsible care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Blue Ridge. 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 Blue Ridge 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 Blue Ridge 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 Blue Ridge.
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 Blue Ridge. On Rover:
- 91% 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 Blue Ridge 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.
