“I’m so happy to have met Catherine via Rover. I felt comfortable knowing my pup was in great hands and being loved on. Catherine is really nice and gave great updates and sent lots of pictures. It’s quite obvious how much Catherine loves dogs! I’ll definitely ask her to take care of Bosco again. 🐾”

“Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Bernice as my dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond to ensure my baby Chase was well taken care of. Berniece gave my dog the freedom to explore the house and play with other dogs, which made me feel at ease. The regular photo updates she sent were a thoughtful touch, and it was clear that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Bernice for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Thanks for taking care of my puppy and going above and beyond!!!”

“Sheree is an amazing dog sitter. I was in a bind because I needed someone to take care of my mom's dog while she was in the hospital. I found Sheree and she was a life saver. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos of how my mom's dog was doing. She did an amazing job of taking care of him. My family will definitely be using Sheree again. I cannot thank her enough”

“The best dog sitter on Rover! She always takes such good care of our dog and is so great at communicating, updating and sending photos. She’s always so flexible with pickup/drop-off and is so quick at respond to booking inquiries. We basically won’t leave our dog with anyone else and always check with Liz’s availability before booking travel because I don’t think our dog would want to stay anywhere else and we certainly wouldn’t want him to either.”

“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”

About: Loving care, plenty of walks, and lots of attention—keeping your dog happy while you’re away. I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I watch my parents dog when they are out of town and also a friend’s two pups when they’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention to your dog as needed. I will always make sure your dog is on a leash and is safe inside and outside the home. If the dog needs to be in the crate before leaving that will also be done.

Their home is also so nice and cozy, which made me feel even better knowing he was staying somewhere comfortable. I also loved that they have a fenced-in yard where the dogs can safely go outside, run around, and play. They took great care of him, and I will definitely book again!!!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Burns Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Burns Harbor is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $46 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 630 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burns Harbor. 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.

95% of sitters in Burns Harbor 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 Burns Harbor 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 Burns Harbor.

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 Burns Harbor. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 Burns Harbor 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.
