“Bethany was fantastic with Sadie, and I will absolutely use her again. She was kept me well informed of how Sadie was doing the whole time, with photos and commentary. She was very flexible when my travel plans changed. Sadie felt very comfortable at her house and enjoyed the cuddles and walks. I highly recommend!”
“Kyungyeon was AMAZING with our depressed doggie! He always mopes and eats very little when we are away, but Kyungyeon would not give up until he felt comfortable and happy in her home! We got so many pictures and updates and I am so grateful for the amazing care she took of our Obi!”
“Thank you to Danielle and family. They all accepted my Suga with open arms and made her feel at home. Suga was happy to see me, and at the same time it was hard for her to leave. I highly recommend them and definitely will be using them in the future.”
“Lynna is an excellent dog sitter. She sent numerous pictures while sitting for my dog Bella. She even sent me a photo shot that she did with Bella. It was just adorable. She suggested a different treat for Bella that she enjoyed. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Lynna.”
“Kristen was great in accommodating our immediate request. She gave us updates/sent pictures. Cody came home happy and obviously excited to see us again. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“This is the second time my puppy has stayed with Gabriel. Colby was so excited to see Gabriel again he ran right up to him! I know that he will always get the best of care with Gabriel. Thank you so much!”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
“Yelena is set up perfectly for dogs to stay with her and her two pups. And she sent more photos and updates than any sitter we’ve ever had. It is so comforting to see and hear about how your dog is doing. Your dog will be in good hands with Yelena!”
“Ashley was exceptional. She recently watched our 2 dogs and one of them had a medical issue while she was with Ashley. Ashley knew exactly what to do and got the issue resolved before we even returned. I was so impressed. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashley to anyone that I know and because she took such awesome care of our girls, she will definitely be our first choice the next time our dogs need a sitter. 5 stars PLUS!”
“Kylie was great! She kept in communication with us and sent pictures of how Dolly was doing. We weren’t worried or stressed and could feel like Dolly was in a safe environment. We will definitely use Kylie again!”
“We were so happy with the pictures and daily updates we were sent while we were on a 9 day cruise. Our Puppo was so relaxed and we’ll taken care of! We definitely will ask for future pet setting anytime we need to leave our fur baby.”
“Aricel did a wonderful job caring for my very aged dog. She was caring, kind, understanding, thoughtful, patient and she adapted to meet the needs of a dog with limited sight, limited hearing, limited mobility. Aricel also provided the right amount of communication and updates for me. Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind during my travels!!”
“I wish I could give 10 stars. Blake and the family took good care of our little Shitzu for almost 20 days, what a lovely family and perfect place for our little pet to stay. Hope to always have them around in any future need.”
“Brittney was so kind and gave so much love on our little girl. I really appreciated that she would send daily pics too! She was also flexible because there was a last minute change on our end unfortunately. I would utilize her again!”
“This was the first time I have had someone watch my two huskies on Rover. Kristan absolutely exceeded my expectations! She was wonderful and took my huskies (who can be a handful) on several walks and sent me cute pictures. I could tell my dogs were very well loved and happy to be there. Kristan was excellent at communicating and giving me updates. 10/10 will definitely book with her again.”
“Stephanie kept our two dogs last week and she was phenomenal! I took the dogs over for a meet & greet a few weeks ahead of time. This was helpful for her, my dogs, and it gave me peace of mind, too. One of my dogs was bitten by a coyote the morning I was to drop off. The bite was superficial so I treated it and then Stephanie took great care of Jake—even giving him a Tshirt to wear to keep the other dogs from licking his wound. We did run into trouble with our alpha dog, Obi. He did not mesh well with Stephanie’s alpha dog. Luckily, I had no problem getting Obi into another situation so that all of our dogs were comfortable. Stephanie did a great job of communicating with me, sending pictures throughout the week, and entertaining the dogs with an Easter egg hunt, outdoor time, and treats. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve used Sam and Rachel the last 3 times we’ve needed a sitter and my dog loves going to their house! We hope to continue to use them for our pet sitting needs in the future as long as they’re available. Our dog comes home tired from sniffing in their big backyard every day and gets daily walks. Thanks Sam and Rachel for taking good care of Mav when we’re away!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elwood is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 per night.

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 Elwood 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 Elwood 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 Elwood.
<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 Elwood 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.
