“Adam and Allison are amazing! Our dogs had such a great time, I don’t think they even wanted to come home with us! They sent regular updates and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. They were exhausted once we got home which just shows how much fun they had. We will definitely be using them for our future trips!”
“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.”
“Ronnie and family were great. Lots of walks and excercise, pictures of Wilson sent, and I didn’t worry ‘too much’ about him because I felt he was in good hands. It was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased with the experience. Thank you Ronnie for taking such good care of my boy.”
“Precious and Thomas took amazing care of my dog, Enzo while I was out of town. They were extremely welcoming during the meet and greet, I was sent updates daily with pictures and videos attached, and I knew Enzo was in great hands! Highly highly recommended for your dog watching needs, I will definitely be using them again!”
“Ashlea has watched Mackey twice and she is absolutely wonderful. He always comes home so happy! She’s extremely flexible and communicative and has helped me out of a few binds when I’m in need of last minute dog care. I appreciate her service!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
“Gave lots of updates about our Noble while we were on our anniversary trip! She sent tons of photos, so we wouldn’t miss out boy too much, & even took him out to socialize! I will absolutely be using Caroline again, & I 100% recommend her to anyone in the Carmel/Indy area!”
“Amrutha and her husband were fantastic and took great care of our dog Remi while we were away. They were super understanding and able to work with a last minute change of plans on our end. I highly recommend them. :)”
“Kristin and Spencer were very kind, quick to communicate and understanding. Our home had a plumbing issue leading to tons of water damage so we had to find someone very last minute to help us watch our dog during mitigation. Kristin and Spencer accepted our request right away helping us during a very hard time. Upon Mooses stay they sent us pictures, had daily communication with us and gave our sweet boy a safe place to stay. 10/10 would send moose back to stay with them♡”
“Katy is so awesome!! She was so great with our 1 year old golden doodle. She took him to the park and sent many pictures and videos during his stay with her and gave him plenty dog treats. He was loving life!!”
About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your pet while you’re away. Our home features a secure fenced yard, perfect for playtime and relaxation, and is located in a friendly neighborhood with beautiful walking trails. Your dog will also have the company of our well-socialized Goldendoodle, who loves walks and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy downtime, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and right at home. I am currently available for the weekends, if you need for weekdays, please request I can look into it. I can just walk the dog or happy to board them during night. I have a fenced yard and my own fur baby to keep your dog company. Our goldendoodle is friendly and loves other dogs company. I do have a child who is 5 years and younger. No aggressive dogs please.
“Casey did a great job with my 2 boys. They stayed with her overnight while I was out of town for 4 days. She gave me updates and pictures. I was confident they were in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jenna loved on our sweet pup like he was her own! She sent pictures of his happy self everyday. It was great not having to worry about him at all. I highly recommend having Jenna watch your dogs!”
“Katie was amazing! She took in Kapri for several days sending daily updates with details of the day and activities. I was at so much ease knowing how Kapri settled and was cared for. Will definitely book again”

There are 476 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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
