“Yuan and her family took great care of Snowball! He seems both tired and content, so he must have had a great time at their place. It's clear they’re pros when it comes to dogs. Yuan also shared lots of details about Snowball, and I can tell she's both patient and passionate about caring for dogs. I’d definitely love to board Snowball with them again!”



“Molly had a great visit with Karen! She came home happy and exhausted, which is always a good thing! Enjoyed receiving pictures and videos! I love that she only boards small dogs! Will definitely book with Karen again!”


“This was the first time I boarded my dog with Rajesh and it is safe to say my dog loves him. He was very timely with updates and communicating photos and information. My dog loved his treats and play time with Rajesh.”


“Thank you so much for letting my pup stay with you and Toby. For those reading this, Rosie's communication is superb as she responded to our messages within a minute or two and sent lots of pictures. Watching how she and Toby interacted with Buddy made me realize he would be in excellent care. Rosie was the most responsible doggie sitter I've ever dealt with, and we'll be repeat clients for sure.”


“Amanda is the best! Second time going to her and she welcomed my dog with genuine care and love as if it was his home! 100/10 recommend her for any person looking for a sitter for their dog.”


“We are so thankful that Holli and Susan were available to care for Zoey. I felt comfortable and confident with their ability to meet the needs of my senior dog while we were away. I was sent pictures and updates. Holli and Susan were accommodating, professional, and personable. I hope that they are available when we travel again!”


“Stephanie and her family made Porter feel like a family member and gave us frequent and fun updates! Stephanie’s dogs and our pup got along and enjoyed playing with one another, putting my mind at ease for him to get enough activity and stimulation while we were gone. From coordinating a meet and greet to communicating how Porter was doing through the stay, I felt confident in her care for our pup. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone needing a sitter for their beloved fur family member!”


“Katy did an amazing job watching Penny. Her location can’t be beat as she is steps from a dog park, so the dogs got plenty of exercise. Katy sent us a lot of pictures so we could see how our pup was doing. She was very quick at responding and was very accommodating to our short notice request. Will definitely use Katy again!”



“Cooper spent a fun Christmas with Marietta and Nannette. He had cuddles and doggy friends to hang out with instead of being left at home alone all day and evening on Christmas. They even gave him a Christmas present!”

“We felt so comfortable after leaving our golden with Julie!! She sent us updates and photos all the time, and we could tell right away her dogs and our dog would get along perfectly. Her animals are so sweet and so is Julie! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you to you and your family for taking such incredible care of our girl!!”


“This is our second time using Casey to watch our dogs when we visit our friends in Carmel/Indy. She’s great as Bobbie and Bandit always leave happy and energetic! She’s understanding and has been very awesome! Thanks so much!”


“Tyler took wonderful care of Bendi while we were away for the weekend! He sent pictures often & gave updates which helped us feel comfortable being away! We will definitely reach out to Tyler again in the future :)”


“Great sitters! We were in town visiting our new granddaughter and our two fur babies needed to be watched during the daytime. Sam and Rachel were so nice and flexible. We will call again on our future trips.”


“Yvonne and her dog Daisy are both absolutely amazing! My dog has stayed with her for the past 2 weekends while we were out of town and she had such a great time and was well taken care of. She was also flexible on pick up times after we encountered some surprises during our trip! I will most definitely be booking with her again!”


“We can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience. We left our pup with Brandon and Tiffany for over a week. They were super communicative and provided lots of pictures and updates! They were great about walks and I think our dog loved the opportunity to be around their dog, too! Our dog came home SO happy, calm, and healthy. After a negative experience at a dog boarding facility this was so comforting. Thank you to Brandon and Tiffany, we will definitely be repeat customers!”



“Kendra did a great job, kept us posted with photos, she have a cheerful personality, and I can tell my dogs were happy being there. I will definitely go back to here when I need a sitter. Thanks Kendra!”

Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
By far the best experience we've ever had!! Lucy & Nathan are great and always keep you updated with daily pictures and updates of the daily activities. They also live in a nice neighborhood and have a nice house. I'm never comfortable when dropping off our dog, and the inside of the house looks like a complete mess. They will for sure will be the only Rover sitters we use in the future!!

My puppy loves spending time with Sam and Rachel and their beautiful family. She can’t get in there fast enough when I drop her off. The little girls love Annie and I feel good about her staying in a family environment. They send me lots of pictures and updates while I’m away. I highly recommend them.

Carrie went WAY above and beyond for our dog. I knew our dog would be high maintenance, but she really tested the limits at Carrie's house... Carrie was nothing but compassionate and kept in constant contact with us. I so appreciate having Carrie take such good care of our pet!

Ninette and Ryan were so kind to our energetic puppy! Marlowe unfortunately had a series of messy inside accidents while he stayed with them, but they were so gracious and laid back about it all. Marlowe loved getting to play and snuggle with their pup Sadie. The communication from Ninette and Ryan was very quick, and we loved seeing pictures of our pup while we were away. We would love to bring Marlowe back for another stay!!

Tara is wonderful! We did an initial meet and greet at which our dog Cooper took to her immediately so we felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Tara's communication is excellent, with quick, friendly responses to questions and photos showing how Cooper made himself at home at her home. Cooper and Tara's dog got along well too. It's a perfect situation for him and us. We will absolutely book with Tara again!

When we met Aricel we knew she was going to be a good match for our dogs.She immediately interacted with our dogs and made them feel comfortable.We took the dogs for a few hours stay to see how it would go and Aricel set our minds at ease.When we dropped them off for a 2 week stay ,the dogs were excited to see her .Aricel paid close attention to care instructions and sent us plenty of photos.She took them into her home and cared for them as her own.Aricel has a kind and warm personality and took the best of care of our 2 Shih Tzu’s.

Absolutely thrilled with our dog’s first boarding experience!tArwa took amazing care of our pup and made sure we felt at ease by sending regular updates and photos. Cosmo looked happy, healthy, and well-loved when we picked him up. We truly enjoyed our vacation knowing he was happy. Highly recommend Arwa for anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
