5-star stay for the Pups, Giannina is so kind and warm. Her home has an excellent set-up to host, including a large fenced in yard. She is an communication pro and we could not have been happier with her frequent updates. Our dogs were well cared for, and we could tell they had a great time with Giannina. Two thumbs up as high as they go!

Very professional, called ahead to gather more information and ask questions about my dog specifically, and was very open to any questions I had as a first time user. When I went to pick up my dog, he was excited to see me but also wanted to go up to Kassia and her family one last time before we left. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Tonisa was an awesome sitter for Koda. This was Koda’s first time being away from us for such a long period of time so i was apprehensive but after meeting Tonisa I felt at ease. During Koda’s stay, Tonisa sent frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!

I’m so glad I found David to watch my Sam. We are new to the area and I haven’t traveled in awhile. David is very responsive, conscientious and communicative. He sent lots of pictures and updates, let me know how Sam was getting along with his dogs. Sam has a knee injury right now and he kept an eye on it for me, too. We’ve already got a second stay booked.

About: I offer crate training and potty training for puppies. I understand that importance of keeping a puppy schedule to avoid unwanted accidents during visits away. I currently do home care blocks away from home. I have the ability to come home feed pups , walk them, and potty breaks during the day I spend an ample amount of time with each pup to get a personality feel so they can feel comfortable in my home away from their family. trust in me for the best care of your family member. because yes, we know they are part of the family.

Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!

Alexis was absolutely wonderful. We scheduled a meet&greet before hand so we were both comfortable and answered any questions I had. Alexis was fast and reliable with communication—answering all my messages very quickly. She gave us plenty of updates throughout the weekend with pictures as well. My boy has bad separation anxiety and Alexis was wonderful with ensuring he wasn’t alone and was comfortable the whole time. Alexis is a wonderful resource for us and we plan to use her again in the future! Thank you so much!

Janette was very good at communicating and keeping me informed of how my pet was doing. She provided pictures of my pet each day that she watched him for me. The atmosphere that she has created was very suitable for my pets needs. I will definitely recommend Janette to anyone needing someone to watch their pet for them. Overall, I am very thankful, and appreciative of the care that my pet received my being watched by Janette.

The best dog sitter on Rover! She always takes such good care of our dog and is so great at communicating, updating and sending photos. She’s always so flexible with pickup/drop-off and is so quick at respond to booking inquiries. We basically won’t leave our dog with anyone else and always check with Liz’s availability before booking travel because I don’t think our dog would want to stay anywhere else and we certainly wouldn’t want him to either.

Fantastic, very attentive and interactive with my pups! I know they are in good hands with Juliana and Michael. My girls have only been with them for a short time and they are already excited to greet them, because they associate Juliana and Michael with a good time.

This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈‍⬛

FAQs for Pet Boarding - East Chicago

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Chicago on Rover is $33.3 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 4,405 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Chicago. About 91% of East Chicago sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
