“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.”
“My JoJo loved Megan and her family. We received many pictures and videos and I was certain she was being care for like she was their own. We will definitely be reaching out to Megan in the near future!”
“Scheduling with Kristen was a breeze! She was very accommodating and flexible with the pick up and drop off times. I was a little nervous with this being my first time ever boarding my dog but she made it very easy on me by providing periodic updates. The fact that she also has 2 bichons and that he had a blast definitely puts me in the returning customer category!”
“Manya is my dog’s regular sitter and I just recently felt totally comfortable leaving her for a 2 week business trip. I knew she’d be safe and happy and will be for future trips too.”
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
“Candie was so good to our boy, Riley. She made drop-off and pickup easy, she sent daily updates with pictures, and she left us have great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. 5 stars without hesitation for Candie. Thank you!!!”
About: I recently and happily left the corporate world behind (Yay!). Those 30 years taught me great discipline, hard work and communication skills I’m lucky to bring with me in caring for your pet! I am super proud of the relationship, love and trust I’ve built with my own rescue, Gunner. I am confident offering you the same attention and unique needs to your dog! My role is to be a trusted partner for you and your dog any time you need it. My daytime and boarding hours are dedicated to my Rover clients. I do not have any conflicting obligations during my posted hours of availability. Rover assignments are my primary job. I live in a large townhouse with lots of space for your dog to roam. I also have crates of varying size if your dog prefers privacy. I currently walk my own dog six times a day so if your dog needs exercise, they can join all the walks! On overnight stays your dog has options of a dedicated room for sleeping alone or wherever they are most comfortable.
“This was our first experience using a petsitter through Rover and it will not be our last! Gerard was patient, kind, and loving to our eager and energetic rescue. He always responded promptly and kept us updated with videos. Highly recommend!”
“Josh was super great at communicating with us and really flexible with pick up/drop off when we needed to make changes. Our dog Walter was very well taken care of and we would absolutely recommend Josh as a pet sitter!”
“Shalissa was so caring and our Copper loved his stay. She texted pictures daily and kept us updated on how he was doing. We will definitely call her again of we need someone to keep Copper!”
“Aricel was absolutely amazing! She loved our Cooper like family! She sent us pictures daily of their activities. Aricel even taught our fur baby a new trick during his week stay! Cooper felt right at home with Aricel and we had no worries while on vacation. Would absolutely recommend Aricel to anyone and will definitely book again for our next trip!”
“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”
“Chris was easy to work with and took such good care of our Edna! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup for our summer vacation knowing she was in great hands! Would definitely not hesitate to use Chris again. 🥰”
“Christina was great to work with! She and her family took great care of Lizzy. And when I made a few mistakes with the booking Christina was very accommodating. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Nancy and her husband took great care of our Schatzie during her extended stay. They are definitely dog people and loved her as their own. We were excited to receive the updates and photos. We highly recommend Nancy and will definitely use her again for Schatzie’s vacation home. 🐾❤️🐾”
“Karen treated Winnie like her own. We got nightly updates with photos while we were gone on a week long trip. When we had our meet and greet, I was really impressed that Karen had an official Rover sheet to have me write notes about Winnie. It made me feel great that she was in good hands— especially since she is on a strict diet (weighing food) and takes pills daily. Thanks again for loving our girl!”
“We had such a wonderful experience Lynna. She took such great care of our Bella and treated her like her own. She kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient and caring—even hand-fed our little one when needed! Her two dogs were also so sweet and well-behaved, and they got along wonderfully. She even went the extra mile and did a little photoshoot for our pup, which was absolutely adorable! 🥰📸 We truly appreciate all the love, attention, and care she gave our dog. We would definitely recommend Lynna and would happily book with her again! ❤️🐾”

There are 477 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elwood. About 92% of Elwood 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.

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.
