“What a great experience! Wrigley felt right at home, he loved playing with Dan and Joys kids. I received daily updates and pictures. I would give Wrigley’s stay and the friendly atmosphere a 5++. Thank you for treating Wrigley as family. Cathy Gonzalez”
“Bernice was just the family away from home that Milo needed. I could tell he immediately felt right at home. I loved how she kept me posted the entire time of how he was doing and sent pics. She was exceptional and we will definitely be using her in the future when we come this way.”
“We are so happy we found Giannina! She took such good care of our baby. She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, which made us feel so much better, since this was the first time we've left our little one in someone else's care. We will definitely use her service in the future. Giannina comes highly recommended.”
“Najah was so great with Kash. So much so, he didn't act like he wanted to leave her. She kept me updated on his behavior and how ge was doing the entire time with texts & photos. I will definitely be boarding with Najah again.”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“Excellent. Gave us a ton of picture, more than any other sitter we’ve had on rover. And due to issues at airport I was an hour late picking her up, and she was totally accommodating. Highly recommended!”
“Toya was very helpful, responded quickly and took out booking on short notice. She took good care of our dog and we are very appreciative of her help! We’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Haven literally loved his home away from home. I would literally trust Jordan with my animals any time of any day. I could tell my doggy was excited to see me but at the same time didn’t want to leave!!”
“Dan and Monica are such wonderful people and so kind to your animal while they are watching yours. They made us feel so comfortable and they shared plenty of pictures which made us feel so happy while we were away. Would love to use them again in the future!”
“Niyah did a really good job with my dog Lady. Niyah sent me pictures of Lady daily to show me that Lady was okay. Niyah was responsive when I reach out to her and she replied immediately to all of my text messages. Lady returned home happy and she was returned back to me in the same condition I left her. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would leave Lady with her again. Thank you Niyah for taking care of Lady with short notice during the Holiday.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.
About: I have had a lot of experience since my teens and I continue to have a constant bond with animals. My newest edition is a Bern doodle. I have a wonderful home for your fur babies and sometimes watch my fur grandbabies also . So they can have interaction with them and me . I can basically offer services of your needs just let me know what your baby loves and I can agree to almost agree with anything to make them happy and comfortable.
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
“Jesus was AMAZING! He looked after both my dog and cat while I was out of town and I couldn’t be happier about the care they received. He sent daily updates with photos and even washed my pup when he got muddy/dirty from being outside. His communication was always quick and friendly. I will definitely leave my fur babies with Jesus in the future and suggest you do the same!”
“Sheree is an amazing pet sitter! She sent me photos and videos throughout Zoe’s first overnight stay with her and King. To see Zoe adjust so well so quickly was the best! Allowed me to enjoy a night out in the city with my boyfriend and his family without having to worry about my fur-baby. Will definitely recommend Sheree to family and friends!!”
“Kassia is an excellent pet caregiver. Our goldendoodle, Sherby, is very attached to living with a family, and we were so relieved to have him stay in Kassia’s caring home while we were out of town. Already looking to book Kassia for our next vacation this summer.”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“CoCo had a wonderful time at Cathy’s! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and truly passionate about their care. She exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to booking her again.”

Niyah did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gary on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,200 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gary. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of Gary 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 Gary 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 Gary 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 Gary.
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 Gary 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.
