Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so kind and understanding. I ended up having an emergency and she was so easy to work with. Also, Freddy absolutely loved her! We got so many pictures and updates, definitely eased my mind while we were away. 100% recommend!!!!!!!!!!

Have booked with Jordan plenty of times over the past few years, and it’s dawned on me that I’ve never taken the time to leave a review. From the responsiveness, to the level of communication, to the level of care she’s affords your fur babies, to the last minute accommodations, words can’t express how appreciative I am, and how comfortable I am leaving my fur babies in her care. Hands down, 5 star service

I highly recommend Nancy and Mark. We received updates including pictures throughout Bailey’s stay with them. I could tell Bailey was comfortable the first time she met them. We will definitely use them again.

Meredith was just amazing. She handled my crazy dog along with her family and dogs like a champ. My pup seemed to greatly enjoy herself. Along with a happy pup, my dog came home with a few more manners. We will use her in the future for sure. 😊

We are so thankful for Mary and Marty! Mary was always so responsive and both took such good care of our sweet Luna! We were nervous leaving our anxious gal for the first time and they made us feel such at ease and comfortable leaving her in their care. Would highly recommend!!

Janis and Devin were amazing with my dog Jellybean. She still has so much puppy energy in her and is a handful. They sent pictures of Jelly looking very happy and comfortable in their home. Jelly had a great time at her overnight with Janis and we can’t wait to bring her back. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

I was so apprehensive about leaving my Nori with anyone, but to my surprise after leaving him with Bernice she quickly me down by sending me pics of Nori, throughout the day. Nori seemed so happy, and it made me feel at peace.

It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.

This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.

Barbara and her husband took absolutely wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. Our first meet n greet Barbara was warm, responsible, and clearly experienced with animals. She treated my dogs like part of their her family, giving them plenty of attention and affection. I really appreciated the updates and photos—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch my dogs again!

Buddy loved being at Jose’s house!! He was treated extremely well. I had to fly to FL for a funeral and Jose was able to not only pick Buddy up, but also dropped him off home when I returned. I think he got more exercise than he has in years (he’s 15!). Jose sent me pictures updating me on how he was doing. I will definitely use Jose’s services again. Thanks so much!!

I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!

This is the second time Harper has stayed with Bola - she is amazing with him. Whenever I drop him off, he just forgets about me. She's super attentive, ask questions when she's unsure, and checks in enough to give me comfort. Would return asap!

We went on a week long vacation with our dog in April’s care. We always knew our pet was cared for and loved. April did an excellent job updating us with pics and status updates. I’m pretty sure our dog had a better time than we did! We will 100% have April watch our pet next time!

FAQs for Boarding - Burns Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Burns Harbor on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 631 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burns Harbor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

94% of Burns Harbor sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Burns Harbor landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

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.

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.
