“Crystal was amazing from day 1 with Luna. She understood her behavior patiently and helped her adjust with other dogs. She truly loves dogs and her actions speaks for it. Thanks to Crystal and her daughter, that I was able to leave Luna worry free. I don’t have to ever worry about leaving Luna in a daycare.”
“Mallory was phenomenal watching Mozzie on a last minute booking. Sent pictures and kept us up to date on what he was doing. Taking him out to the dog park and playing with other puppers. Even sent him home with some dog treats :) highly highly recommend. If I come back to Indiana and need a sitter, she’s who I would book every time.”
“Riley (the dog) seemed to be happy in pictures that Bethany took. Bethany was easy to deal with and had good communication. Very satisfied with the overall experience. I would use Bethany again.”
About: Hi there! We’re a dog-loving duo with years of experience and three sweet, well-behaved rescue pups of our own. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. We’ve spent our lives around animals—caring for our own, helping friends and family, and volunteering with the Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program (and multiple years at SPCA Florida). We offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home daycare for friendly pups who get along well with ours. We’re confident in caring for a variety of pets and always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. We also provide drop-in visits for cats and currently care for a household of three felines. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual schedule, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s what they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ We work remotely with flexible schedules, so we're home throughout the day and available most weekends. We can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. We also offer daycare for dogs who get along well with ours. *Sunday availability begins at 2pm. **We are currently at capacity for ongoing, multi-day weekly care (ex. 2+ days a week, every week, indefinitely). We are still open to once a week ongoing care at this time. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether visiting them at home or welcoming them into ours. We follow routines closely and provide gentle, attentive care. For daycare, we ensure dogs are well-matched with our three friendly dogs and are supervised. Clean spaces, fresh water, and secure environments are a must. We treat every pet like our own—earning their trust through patience, play, and consistency.
“EXCELLENT, MY FAMILY USED DANIELLE'S SERVICE FOR OUT LITTLE ROCKY AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY PET CARE AND DEFINITELY WE WILL USE HER SERVICE AGAIN.”
“Kailly is our “go-to”! This is our fourth visit with Martha and definitely not the last. Martha is always well cared for and happy when we come to pick her up. It’s a bit of a drive, and well worth it.”
“Amy was excellent. She treats dogs as if they were her own. Very safe and warm environment, and she works from home so your dog is always cared for. We already rebooked with Amy.”
“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!”
“Monica was awesome! She sent lots of photos and updates of our two doggies. She took them on lots of walks and they they got plenty of treats! We will be boarding with her again”
“Jennifer was very attentive and accommodating to ensure my anxious dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. I received photos often which showed my girl going for walks, snuggling on the couch, and enjoying the backyard.”
“Clara did a really good job at taking care of my two boys. I could noticeably tell they were both calm and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Clara”
“Chris was amazing. Our little man had an amazing over nite stay. He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing with the others dogs there. Chris went a live to accommodate us after our regular sitter was unable to watch him. We will be using Chris many more times again.”
“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.”
“Katia was very helpful. Her home was clean and her dogs and kitten seemed to do well with Connor. Connor chewed his leash in two and Katia went and bought another and said we did not need to pay her back for the cost. Of course we did though. We would recommend Katia.”
“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”

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 Elwood 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 Elwood 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 Elwood 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 Elwood.
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 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 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.
