“Crystal and her family took amazing care of Maiya and we felt that our puppy was not only taken great care of but became a part of their family while we were gone. She kept us posted and shared pictures so we could see our pup. I would highly recommend.”
“I am delighted to have entrusted my dog to Ms. Karen. He thoroughly enjoyed his time, evident from the photos she kindly shared. Ms. Karen provided excellent care, and I would certainly choose her services again. Grateful for your attention, Ms. Karen!”
“We had never left our Mellie (Maltese) with anyone. We chose Kara and couldn’t have made a better choice! Mellie was instantly fond of Kara. Kara is sweet, thoughtful and very easy to communicate with. We have several more trips planned in 2024 and will definitely use Kara again.”
“Julie took very good care of Lilo. She provided timely updates with pictures. Both of her dogs are very friendly. Lilo had a great time and looking forward to use Julie for future pet sittting needs.”
“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!”
“Aricel was absolutely amazing! She loved our Cooper like family! She sent us pictures daily of their activities. Aricel even taught our fur baby a new trick during his week stay! Cooper felt right at home with Aricel and we had no worries while on vacation. Would absolutely recommend Aricel to anyone and will definitely book again for our next trip!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time here and Sam kept us updated with pictures. They have a beautiful home and great fenced in back yard so our dog had lots of fun running around. Sam also took our dog on plenty of walks. Their dog got along really well with our dog as well. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking.”
“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”
“Amy was excellent. She treats dogs as if they were her own. Very safe and warm environment, and she works from home so your dog is always cared for. We already rebooked with Amy.”
“We work from home so having Celestial watch Bowie is a perfect match! She is laid back and kind and sent us ample updates when we went out of town for a couple of days. Hope to book again!”
“Tyler was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of family, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made us feel completely at ease. Our dog Daisy had a great time with his sweet pup, Oakley. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Amy and Caleb T. are a couple of rock stars in the pet care industry. I truly appreciate the clear communication they provided from the beginning. They were able to accommodate my dog and me on short notice. Even on a few days’ notice, we were able to have a quick meet-and-greet, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. I also appreciate the pictures they sent me during my trip, which made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was having a great time with them. I definitely plan to book with them in the future because of their exceptional service. From any concerns they may have had to the fun-loving pictures they sent me, everything was great. Thank you all so much for taking care of my boy.”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel
Beyond exceptional—absolute peace of mind for both our pups! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough good things about Emily! Leaving your furry family members behind is always a bit stressful, but Emily completely took all that anxiety away. Managing two dogs can be a lot of work, but she handled it with absolute ease. From our very first interaction, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and professional. I received regular, wonderful updates and the cutest photo check-ins of both of them, which absolutely made my day and let me know our pups were having the absolute best time. It is such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and caring. We will absolutely be booking Emily again in the future. If you are looking for top-tier care for your dogs, look no further. Highly, highly recommended! Edward & Lisa
Karen was a perfect fit for my dog Teddy. She was so caring and kind. Teddy was rescued only a few months ago so he struggles with some anxiety but she was so patient with him. She also sent me pictures and messages to relieve my own anxiety. By the time I picked him up he seemed so comfortable and happy. We have already decided to rebook. I highly recommend Karen.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 939 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carmel. 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.
99% of Carmel 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 Carmel 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 Carmel 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 Carmel.
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 Carmel 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.
