“Marietta and Nanette were amazing! I had a fairly last minute change of plans and they were very accommodating. They have plenty of photos and I knew Kosmo was in good hands. We will definitely be returning!”
“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”
“Karen totally spoiled my babies! They lounged all day on her couch (except when running around with fellow boarders in her fenced back yard) and slept in her bed at night. They can't wait for me to leave town again so they can go back ?”
“Clara did a really good job at taking care of my two boys. I could noticeably tell they were both calm and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Clara”

“Mallory was an amazing Rover! She sent plenty of updates, cute photos, and videos of Ruby during her stay! Ruby stayed there from Thursday night to Sunday afternoon and had a great time! We will for sure be using her again in the future!”

“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!”
“Sam and Rachel were wonderful with our two Bernedoodles! The boys loved their time there and were more relaxed upon returning from a boarding stay than any time I can remember! Sam and Rachel were also great about walking the dogs and sending daily pictures of their adventures. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family for future stays. Thanks, Sam and Rachel.”
“Maureen was so great with Max and I would absolutely use her again! She has a beautiful yard and the sweetest pup of her own. She was great about keeping in touch, sending pictures, and I felt like Max was in great hands!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! She settled in quite nicely with Stephanie and her family. We appreciated her communication and the photos. Would definitely leave Sadie with Stephanie again!”
“We recently moved to IN from out of state and Karen watched our 2 year old mini-schnauzer, Shadow while we had a house being built. Although our move in was delayed by 2 months, we were comforted knowing Shadow was being well cared for. Karen regularly sent pictures and messages letting us know how Shadow was doing. We were able to visit Shadow, which made our time apart go a little faster. After 4 months with Karen he became like one of the family and he really enjoyed playing with Karen's dog, Scotty.”
“Heather was great! She kept us updated on how the dogs were doing throughout the stay and went above and beyond to accommodate our dog with a limb difference! We would recommend her to our friends/family.”
“Kristen took in our Rey (1yo Dachshund) during our time away during the holidays on short notice. Such a relief to have had Rey stay in the care of a very nice home and family. Will definitely look for Kristen again in the future!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carmel on Rover is $38.85 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 909 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.
