“Very pleased working with Katelin. With unforeseen changes to our calendar, Katelin worked with us to make the plan work. Evie was well cared for. We look forward to our next visit.”
“Lynn was great with our little guy. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, was very responsive and took great care of him following all of our requests! Would definitely book her again.”
“Pam did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They were boarded at her home. We got daily updates, photos and videos. We have one very timid dog that she was very patient with and eventually our dog warmed up to Pam. Five star rating. Couldn’t recommend more highly Will use again.”
“Kelsi did a fantastic job! She sent us several pics daily with captions. She has a nice big yard for the dogs to play in. Would definitely recommend and hope to be able to book with her in the future!”
“We had an amazing experience with Dez and Nick! They are incredibly caring and patient, which was so important for us since Chico is still potty training. He had a lot of fun and received so much love while we were away; it was also great for him to spend time with their dogs, Sandler and Nolly. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such kind hands. Highly recommend!”
“Edna was AMAZING! I have 2 senior doxies and 1 has very bad eye sight. She took her time with them especially my doxie with the bad eye sight who moves slow. I recommend her to anyone and will rebook with her again. She was also nice to provide pictures and updates while they were staying with her. That was nice.”
“Madelyn is an angel! She was amazing with our two cats who are usually hesitant to strangers. I recommend her to everyone who needs any sort of pet services.”
“Emily was amazing! Gigi had the best time with Emily and her other pups while I was out of town. I appreciated how communicative Emily was during Gigi’s stay, especially because she sent so many pictures and videos of Gigi. I was so happy with how much fun Gigi was having. I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Roy was fantastic! He sent pictures and updates everyday and Revan was exhausted when he got home, which is always a sign of a good dog sitter. He was also very accommodating with our timing and even set up a lock box so we could pick Revan up when it was convenient for us, even though he was at work. Will definitely book again!”
“Verry accommodating and friendly. Treated my fury kids like family. Send regular and useful (including video) updates on the well being of my dog and cat. Her dog and my dog became very good friends. Mimi still misses Hamy.”
“Valeria was great! I felt really comfortable leaving Meeko with her for a day, and it was nice that she was able to be flexible about times. She sent updates throughout the day as well!”

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 Bourbon 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 Bourbon 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 Bourbon.
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 Bourbon. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 Bourbon 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.
