“Bella is a repeat guest with Crystal, mostly because I know she lives as good or better than at home! The whole family loves on her and make sure she is well taken care of. Will definitely continue to book! KC”
“Just absolutely fantastic! Emily was amazing with Benito right from the get-go. She provided constant pupdates and we could really tell that our pup was in great hands. She’s the best and we will always be back ♥️”
“Aricel provided excellent care for our 15 year old dog who has some anxiety issues. She sent pictures daily and kept us posted on how our dog was doing. We will definitely use Aricel’s services again the next time we travel.”
“Kailly was so good with our pup! She walked him twice daily and gave him a lot of love and attention. She's also very flexible and communicates/replies very quickly. We'll definitely be using her again!”
“Stephanie was fantastic with my two, rather large pitties. Being a first time Rover user and really a first time pet sitter user in general, I was very apprehensive to what felt like giving up my dogs to a stranger. But any apprehension I had quickly went away with Stephanie. She gave constant updates and sent pictures on a daily basis of my pups playing in her beautiful fenced in backyard. She clearly has a love for dogs and maybe a soft spot for pitties. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Briana was an amazing dog sitter! She kept in great communication the entire time I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved all the pictures and videos she sent of my fur baby, it really made being away a lot easier. You can tell she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Amy & Calab and the family are the best dog sitters. You can 100% trust them. They sent us al ot of pictures, and I could see on my dog's face and in their behavior that they were truly happy.”
“Mallory was phenomenal watching Mozzie on a last minute booking. Sent pictures and kept us up to date on what he was doing. Taking him out to the dog park and playing with other puppers. Even sent him home with some dog treats :) highly highly recommend. If I come back to Indiana and need a sitter, she’s who I would book every time.”
“We absolutely loved having our Tucker stay with Marietta and Nanette! From our first meet-and-greet with Nanette and Erin Rose (their sweet beagle) to our pick up after our trip everything was wonderful! They are so calm and friendly and Tucker enjoyed playing with the other 2 dogs that came to stay as well. Nanette sent us photos and an update everyday, which I loved receiving! I will be booking another stay with them later this summer!”
About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your pet while you’re away. Our home features a secure fenced yard, perfect for playtime and relaxation, and is located in a friendly neighborhood with beautiful walking trails. Your dog will also have the company of our well-socialized Goldendoodle, who loves walks and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy downtime, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and right at home. I am currently available for the weekends, if you need for weekdays, please request I can look into it. I can just walk the dog or happy to board them during night. I have a fenced yard and my own fur baby to keep your dog company. Our goldendoodle is friendly and loves other dogs company. I do have a child who is 5 years and younger. No aggressive dogs please.
“Tyler was wonderful with our dog Hallie! He was so kind to send pictures and let us know that she was doing great! Their dog Oakley was so sweet and Hallie made a new friend! Thank you so very much!”
“Christina is truly the best! We absolutely love her, her girls, and all of her pets. Juniper always has the best time with them, and I know she's in such good hands every time she stays. Christina sends lots of pictures and updates, and I can always tell Juniper has spent her days running around and playing because she's completely exhausted (in the best way!) when she comes home. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she's having as much fun on her vacation as we are on ours. Christina is incredibly responsive, flexible, and accommodating, even when I've had to make last-minute requests. I never have to worry while I'm away because I know Juniper is being loved and cared for like one of the family. We couldn't recommend Christina more highly! We are regulars with them🩷”
“Diana took great care of Brody! This is his second time there and definitely felt right at home. She sent lots of pictures and videos of him playing hard, walking and napping. She’s great, will bring him back again!”
“This is the first time I have left my dog with anyone outside of family and I could not be happier with our choice of a caregiver. Nancy and her husband were so good with our dog and I’m sure she was spoiled the whole weekend! I definitely recommend and would use again!”
“Natalie was AMAZING with our senior girl! She came back tired and happy and had the BEST time! We got lots of pics and sweet updates! We could tell she was cared for! 10/10 experience, she will be our go to for sure whenever we need to board Luna!”
“Gabrielle watched our 8 year old Goldendoodle for the first time and we are very happy. She was responsive to all my questions, and sent pictures every few days. When we picked her up she was calm and happy. Would absolutely recommend Gabrielle.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel
Lisa and her family took care of our dog like a part of their own family. They became the only family we truly trusted her with as she became older and and more difficult to care for and as we worried about her more. They were always kind, honest, and communicative. I would highly recommend their care to anyone and will always be thankful to them for welcoming Beasley into their home as one of their own. ❤️
Gave lots of updates about our Noble while we were on our anniversary trip! She sent tons of photos, so we wouldn’t miss out boy too much, & even took him out to socialize! I will absolutely be using Caroline again, & I 100% recommend her to anyone in the Carmel/Indy area!
Bailey was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bogey. She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent plenty of pictures, and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She was very easy to communicate with, reliable, and trustworthy. Bailey will definitely be our first choice the next time we need a sitter. 10/10 — we would recommend her to any of our friends and family!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carmel home-away-from-home, 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 Carmel.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
