“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She took great care of our dog for an entire week and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and quick responses whenever we had questions. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Thank you Jane for taking such good care of Snowflake and sending us updates everyday. She looked happy with you and your 2 dogs. I’m glad she adjusted so well in your house. She will come back again. Thank you for everything.”
“Patricia watched our 2 cattle dog mixes for a week. She sent us daily updates with photos and was highly communicative and professional. Our pups loved Patricia (as well as her backyard lol) and she reported they were well behaved for her which is a sign of attentive care. We will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Amanda was our of town but Donnie and their kids took great care of Stuart. This was his second stay with them and when we got to their house he was scrambling to get to the door, so I knew he must have had a good experience the first time. Nice, friendly family and I have no doubt Stuart received the best treatment.”
“Leeann was absolutely wonderful with our little guy. She provided regular updates and even sent some pictures. We are so happy with the decision to book Leeann and will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Katherine and her family were wonderful to my dogs! She is very attentive to the dogs needs, and provided plenty of space for them to be active outside! She loved and cuddled them and I loved the pictures/updates she provided!”
“Melissa took very good care of Holly. She is still a puppy and this was the first time I had to leave. Holly bonded very well with Melissa and her children. Melissa gave me periodic updates and sent pictures and videos. I already scheduled my next 2 travel dates with Melissa.”
“My dog was shown around the home as if he was the "person" staying with her! He was much calmer and had a wagging tale while being toured. He would start shaking and whimpering, when we would drive up to the kennel were using. She sent pictures of him playing and running outside and one sleeping peacefully. We are super excited to have found Rover and Karen!!!! He lost weight last stay at the kennel, this stay with Karen he came back better than we left him. He was happy, energetic, and was the same weight as when we dropped him off at her home. Our dog is a people person and he loved his new people. We were able to fully relax while away and not worry about him. Thanks so very much!”
“This was my first time using Rover and because of Kym I had a wonderful experience! She sent me pictures of Chloe daily and kept me updated. Also she was very flexible with the drop off and pick up. I’m so glad I was able to relax on my trip knowing Chloe was in good hands. Thank you Kym!”

“Mary did an amazing job with Penny. Penny got carrot, watermelon, or ice cube treats everyday. Sent lot's of pictures. Penny is a little bit of a peculiar dog and doesn't always get along with other dogs but Mary still handled her with love and care. I would definitely use Mary as a sitter again.”

About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. With decades of experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Over 25 years of experience. A lifelong love of dogs. Care you can trust. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie for your dog to play with. I am retired so I am home all day, every day. We love to go out and walk every day . I have a fenced in yard with wire all the way to the ground. My built in pool also has a safety fence. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie. My house is free for your dog to run around.
“Our pup, Murphy had a great time with Hannah! She sent frequent updates and photos while we were away for our 10 day trip. We felt completely comfortable and knew Murphy was in good hands with her, her pups and their nice fenced in backyard. We will definitely use Hannah in the future!”
About: I am a retired senior that will provide caring and reliable dog and cat pet services, and will always strive to keep your pets safe, happy and well cared for. While currently a pet empty nester, my wife and I raised 3 Golden Retrievers over 30 years, all starting out with us as puppies. While new to Rover, I have a lifetime of experience with pets I grew up with, my family's pets and now occasionally over the last 5 years caring for my children's pets that include 2 cats and a reactive dog. I am retired and looking forward to devoting time to Rover. I also do volunteer work, but scheduling for that is flexible and will not conflict with Rover commitments. I will make sure your pets are fed, have water and potty breaks; and are exercised through appropriate play and/or walks in your neighborhood. I will show them affection through petting, belly rubs, ear scratches and cuddles; and by devoting all of my attention and time to them. I will also bag and dispose of dog poo and check litter boxes as needed. I will provide updates to the pet parents after each visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 229 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Friendship. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
96% of sitters in Friendship 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 Friendship 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 Friendship.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Friendship. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Friendship 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
