“We had a great experience with Amber. She was always quick to answer and flexible with our schedule to drop off/pick up. She kept us updated with pictures of Ginger and was very kind. Her dog Tater and Ginger had a great time together! We would definitely recommend her.”
“Azure was so awesome! She sent photos of the dogs having fun and they came home absolutely wore out so I know they were well cared for and played a ton! We will absolutely use her services again :)”
“Thank you for taking great care of our birdie girl! She had so much fun making friends and loved all the extra snuggles! We can't wait to boom with you again! 🤗💕”
“We were so pleased by the care received from Mariana and Mark. They treated our girls like their own. Huge relief when you can find a sitter that’s reliable when traveling.”
“Our dog Whiskey stayed while we did a quick weekend trip to Indy. She was great with slow intros and keeping us updated on how he was doing. He came back to us today tired after playing with all his new friends.”
“So many pictures were provided to us while we were on vacation, and that alone put us at ease! I didn't want my doggo in a kennel at a facility, so I turned to Jennifer, and she didn't disappoint! Onyx looked so incredibly happy and enjoyed spending time with the other doggos. My fiance and I 100% recommend Jennifer and her services for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Anne did a wonderful job of taking care of our old lady dog. You can tell Anne genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She sent a daily detailed update and pictures. Our old lady can be picky and sassy and Anne did a wonderful job with her. We will definitely be repeat customers, our dog was treated like a queen.”
“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”
“Alex and Jayce were wonderful with our dog. So welcoming and very responsive. Our dog had a great time playing with their dogs. They sent great pictures and we could tell our dog was comfortable at their house. Would recommend to friends and family and will use them again!”
“Heather was kind as was her family. Our dog had a great time with Heather and another house guest dog. He slept like a baby when he got home as he was worn out from all the fun!”
“Agnatha is just the BEST! Risotto loves her so much that he puts on a little temper tantrum when we have to pick him up to bring him home! Definitely recommend hiring Agnatha to watch your dogs!”
“Cassandra did a great job taking care of Banjo for two nights. Communication was excellent (photos and videos, along with messages about how he was doing), and Cassandra was willing to accommodate drop-off and pickup requests to fit my schedule for the weekend. I have always been apprehensive about boarding my dogs at a kennel if I have to go out of town for more than one night. Cassandra made Banjo feel at home and kept him in a normal, relaxed environment and routine.”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“I just want to say I really appreciate Emily so much. My boyfriend and I were here in Indiana for work and came across an issue with the hotel where we were staying, as they said they didn’t allow pets. Emily instantly came through for us. I didn’t know what to do; we couldn’t drive 8 hours back home, and no one wanted to watch him anyway. But overall, the experience was great. You can tell she has a passion for this and is a dog lover who doesn't discriminate against any dog. She was professional, and when it comes to communication about my dog, top tier. Please book her — trust me, she is worth it.”
“My dog Scarlett has a hard time being left at kennels and being around other dogs scares her sometimes. She felt very comfortable around Mindy and Carter when she spent a week with them and gave us piece of mind also. She also looked to love their big yard too.”
“Kristen is so wonderful with Roswell! This is our third time leaving Roswell with her and we know he is in great hands. Roswell loves Kristen and always has so much fun with her and other doggy friends!”
“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”

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.

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.
