“Alejandra is INCREDIBLE! We have never had such a positive experience with dog care, including professional boarding/pet hotel places. We were a little worried about finding a good spot for our two larger dogs with lots of energy, and this was perfect - they both came home SO happy and exhausted. She went above and beyond with sending us updates on them so that we could relax on our vacation knowing that they were being loved and taken care of. They got to play all day with other dogs (if they wanted), or just hang out with Alejandra and get some cuddles. I am so so grateful for the wonderful care that our dogs received in her home. Even more important - the dogs LOVE her!!! If I could give her six stars, I would. Our dogs can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Josie is so welcoming to our boxer girl & myself when I drop her off. She sends pictures while you are away if you would like them. The pictures warm my heart. She knows how much I miss her while gone. She communicates very well & is so nice. She is always ready when you come to pick up. Has everything packed, doggie fed & let out to potty before arriving. Thank you for loving them while we can’t.”
“Leandra and her husband went beyond our expectations for taking care of Harley. We have never left him with anyone, he always traveled with us but this time Harley couldn’t go. They sent pictures and if we had any questions they answered right away. We had no worries leaving him and would highly recommend Leandra.”
“Georgie enjoyed his stay with Morgan. He came home as though he had never been away. I attribute that to Morgan’s calm personality making him feel so comfortable in her home.”
“Betty was great with Jemma. She gave her extra care and attention with her overnight stay. I hope she can visit again when we make it back to Indiana in the future. Thank you Betty.”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“We had an amazing experience with Dez and Nick! They are incredibly caring and patient, which was so important for us since Chico is still potty training. He had a lot of fun and received so much love while we were away; it was also great for him to spend time with their dogs, Sandler and Nolly. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such kind hands. Highly recommend!”
“Faith was so pleasant and her accommodations are beautiful. The yard was big and offered shade. Faith's dogs are super cute and they were extremely friendly with my dog. It all made my dog's stay very enjoyable.”
“Lindsey was very professional and put us at ease as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. We were also worried that our dog may have anxiety as my husband and I are his third home. But Lindsey sent us updates and pictures, it’s was a good experience! Thank you Lindsey?”
“Lincoln really enjoyed his time with you. Thanks for the pictures and updates throughout the weekend of our grand daughters wedding . We were able to relax and have a good time Thank you”
“Chris took great care of our Vizsla, Kona. He gave us daily updates and pictures and walked her regularly. Just before drop off Kona had an unexpected trip to the vet due to a potential ear infection. When we brought the meds at drop off for him to administer for the week, he was very accommodating and gave them to her each day. We would definitely use Chris again!”
“Christina was a great sitter for my dog, Rocky. Rocky is a little nervous around other dogs, but she was comfortable bringing him in and great with getting him comfortable with other dogs. She also sent frequent updates that really eased my anxiety of leaving him with a new sitter for a week. In all of her video updates, Rocky looked happy, healthy and was clearly treated like part of the family. I will definitely be using Christina when I need a sitter from now on.”
“Lynn is wonderful and a sweet soul! She did an amazing job taking great care of Ollie! He was in great hands with her while I was away. He really enjoyed himself with her and her two fur babies💜. I'm so happy Ollie made new friends! She provided me with daily updates and sent me pictures of Ollie which was nice. She's responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares. Usually Ollie doesnt eat a lot and grazes when hes been boarded before but he ate like normal with her! I really appreciated the check list forms and medical release I completed for her - it only took two seconds to complete and it just shows the care and responsibility she has with caring for my pup! That made me feel good! I would not hesitate to recommend her and will definitely use her again to watch Ollie in the future!!”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Victoria was great with Penny! She watched our ~1 year old ~ 7 pound Cavapoo while we were here for a football game. Friday evening - Sunday morning. Victoria was very friendly and responsive! Penny felt right at home as soon as we showed her around Victorias place. Victoria went above and beyond for Penny and we’d definitely recommend her / plan to work with her again next time we bring Penny for a Football weekend. Penny got along well with Victoria’s dog Koco too. Thank you Victoria!”
About: I’ve owned large dogs consistently for the last 20 years. I’m ready to give snuggles to dogs of all sizes, though! Kids are back in school so I have lots of time on my hands. I’m ready to spread the love! I’m currently looking for some supplemental income doing something fun and rewarding while maintaining the flexibility I need for my kids and their schedule. I love the idea of borrowing someone else’s pup for a little bit so they don’t have to be lonely all day. I have been home since my youngest was born 9 years ago, so I have plenty of time on my hands during the days. We have a big fenced yard, and live on a quiet street with little traffic for walks. I don’t really have a lot of other things going on during the day, so frequent potty breaks are no issue.
“Kimberlee took the best care of our two dogs!! We received pictures and updates every day and they seemed so happy and loved! I am definitely going to rely on Kimberlee again to watch them when we go out of town!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkhart on Rover is $32.1 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 138 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elkhart. 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.
100% of Elkhart 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 Elkhart 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 Elkhart 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 Elkhart.
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 Elkhart 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.
