“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“Our Goldendoodles were well taken care of and seemed to have a great time! Lots of pictures and updates so we always knew what was going on. Would definitely leave them here again!”

“Heather was amazing and I will definitely use her again. She was accommodating to my last minute request for boarding. She was also responsive when I reached out and had a very caring spirit.”

“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”

“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”


“A couple of weeks ago, I had to leave town for two weeks due to work, and I had my sitter at the time cancel the day before I was set to leave town. I had never used Rover before, but I found Melissa and Jonathan on the app at the last minute and decided to give it a try. Despite the short notice, they immediately agreed to a meet-and-greet that same night before I had to leave. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and understanding from the very beginning. Their space was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for my pet’s needs. Throughout the entire stay, they kept in touch with me on a daily basis by sending updates and pictures, and they were always quick to let me know if they had any concerns. I am very grateful that I was able to trust them with my pet, especially on such short notice and I would happily have them care for my pet again in the future. They are a hardworking, wonderful, and loving family, and I highly recommend them!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience!! Panda was well taken care of and I received photos of her daily along with updates. Gabrielle was very understanding about panda being old and not using the potty pads like she does at home the first couple days while she was there. I’m so glad to have found Gabrielle and her family to watch panda for us when we are away. Thanks so much!!!”

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job taking care of our puppy! She sent regular updates, played with him, and it was so nice to know he was in a safe and loving environment. Would definitely recommend Kaitlyn!”


“Kelly was great! Charlie said he loved staying there and playing with her dogs. She even had all his stuff ready and helped me carry it all out to the car when I picked him up. We will definitely use her again!”

“Chris took great care of our Lab while we were visiting our son at college. We asked a lot of him because Seamus had a muscle strain and could not run around or take walks. This is asking a lot of a caretaker trying to keep a 94 pound Lab “not active.” Chris is our go to Rover sitter, we know Seamus is getting great attention and care.”

“Kisha was our first cat sitter and she set the bar high! She was the gold standard for someone we wanted to take care of our cats! Kept us updated with photos and daily ongoings. Our cats were fed, happy, and clean!”


“Rachel took great care of Stella and Stella even made new friends. She also demonstrates excellent communication, sending daily photos and updates. Your pet will be in good hands.”

“Sarah and Daniel were great, sending lots of photos and giving my sweet girl lots of love and attention. I’m glad my pup got to be a part of their family for the week!”

“Melissa and Andrew were great sitters and sent several updates with photos during my dog’s stay. They were very friendly and accommodating to my dog and he seemed to really enjoy his time with them!”
“Amanda is the sweetest and her son loves my dog!! I feel safe when my dog is with her. She is the only person I've left my dog with overnight and her little ones play with my little guy all day! I know when he's with her he's safe and cared for. She sends pictures to ease any worries and is a great pet sitter!!”

“5 stars is an understatement. I wish I can give more. She was great, with agreeing to a greet and meet. Sending daily pictures, and understanding his routine. This was the first time we left our Whiskey with anyone that was not a friend or family, and I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter then Val. I’m forever grateful for caring and spoiling my boy, Val. Fun fact: Val, was practicing her Spanish with Whiskey 🤭”

“Stress free stay for my fur baby. I have a deaf pup who has some anxiety, especially with new people and animals. Oliver gave her lots of love and sent daily updates. I didn’t have to worry on my trip if she was in good hands!”

“Thank you for boarding Stormy. You were nice and made sure he was comfortable in the beginning with the kennel and other dogs before I left. We communicated daily and responses were a bit dry and pictures that were promised were never sent unless I had texted again the next day. Customer service/communication could have been a bit better. Im sure stormy had a nice time playing with the other dogs besides one issue that was brought up to me.”

“Peyton's stay with Melody was PERFECT!! She sent me multiple pictures every day of the 9 nights that Peyton stayed at her house, and he looked like he was having a BLAST!! He was mighty tuckered when he got home!! I will DEFINITELY be using Melody as Pey's "hostess" again, and I have already recommended her to two of my friends that are parents of Pey's friends!”

Kelsey was the best dog sitter we have ever had. She took great care of our dogs, sent regular updates and pictures. I think our dogs felt very comfortable with her. Our dogs came back to us in great condition as well. We were so happy to have found her since moving to the area, what a blessing to know our dogs were in good hands.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Charlestown is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Charlestown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Charlestown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Charlestown 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 Charlestown.
<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.
You and your Charlestown 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 , 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 .
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.
