About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I currently have three dogs of my own. Two girls and one boy. I also have worked at a pet store for the past 2 years providing pet care to 40+ puppies on a daily basis. Each of them are loved and cared for as if they were my own and I’ll be sure to do the same for yours! ❤️🐾 Because I work full time I only have two-3 days available for my provided services. Those days are usually Tuesdays and Fridays each week :) My pets free roam the house but I have a doggy gate blocking the steps or any “unsafe” areas. I also have pet cameras placed in the main parts of my home. And bedroom doors are always closed for their safety 💖
“Absolutely exceptional dog sitting experience! From the moment we reached out to inquire about Barbara's services, to the very end of my dog's stay, everything was seamless and stress-free. Barbara not only provided top-notch care for dog, Gracie, but she also went above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process, with regular updates and photos that reassured me Gracie was in great hands. It was evident that she and her husband genuinely loves animals and know how to cater to their individual needs. The environment provided for my dog was clean and safe. I appreciated the personalized attention given to my dog, including her dietary preferences and exercise routine being carefully followed. Returning home, Gracie was happy, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time during her stay. I cannot recommend Barbara highly enough! If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and passionate about animals, look no further. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future.”
“Bridget and her mom were so kind and loving to my puppy! They played with him, fed him on time, even took him on long walks! My puppy had such a great time there! Thank you so much, you are awesome people!”
“I HATE TO TELL THIS TO YOU ....YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH STARS TO USE FOR RATING WHEN IT COMES TO JESUS D. THIS MAN IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. WE ARE SO PLEASED WITH HIS CARE OF OUR LITTLE BUDDY LUKA. WILL DEFINITELY BE GIVING HIS INFO TO ANYONE IN NEED OF A SITTER, BOARDER. HE SENT VIDEOS AND STILL PHOTOS AND REGULAR UPDATES TO US. F A B U L O U S!!!!!!!!”
“Alexis was absolutely wonderful. We scheduled a meet&greet before hand so we were both comfortable and answered any questions I had. Alexis was fast and reliable with communication—answering all my messages very quickly. She gave us plenty of updates throughout the weekend with pictures as well. My boy has bad separation anxiety and Alexis was wonderful with ensuring he wasn’t alone and was comfortable the whole time. Alexis is a wonderful resource for us and we plan to use her again in the future! Thank you so much!”
“As always my dog came back happy and healthy. I was sent pictures and updates daily, text messages responses were immediate and detailed. I could not have found a better person to leave my dog with and I will continue to use Tonisa in the future!”
“Duane watched our Pomeranian in his home for 4 days while we were out of town. I love my fur baby and am very particular about who takes care of her. Duane is such a kind person and listened to all the details about caring for my little diva. She took to him straight away which she rarely does with anyone so that made me feel comfortable. Duane took her for walks and gave her all the attention that she loves. He reached out to us daily to let us know how she was doing. He even offered video chats! I highly recommend Duane to anyone who is looking for loving care for their dog. We plan to use him in the future when going out of town as well as when we need a sitter for even just a few hours.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“Nancy and Mark were great! They were very warm and welcoming to my pupper, Azila. They sent photos throughout her stay and periodic check-ins to let me know that everything was going smoothly. Azlia had a blast! :) We will definitely be visiting Nancy and Mark again!”

“Alisha was great with our 7 yr old coonhound, Beau!! Highly recommend. We had a situation where we needed to book an overnight boarding last minute and she was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our pup got along great with her and her pets. We could tell he was very comfortable there. She kept us updated throughout his visit, which is always greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely be rebooking when in the area :) thanks Alisha!!”
“Iman is so flexible and quick to respond. She has the cutest added touches that make me feel confident that Malcolm is being cared for properly. I won’t spoil it by sharing all the details but know that Iman is super thoughtful. I hope that Iman is Malcolm’s forever sitter! 💕”
“Thank you for doing such an amazing job. I was so impressed. We will definitely be booking again. Jack had so much fun and I can tell he was well taken care of. We can’t thank you enough.”
“Eleanor did a fantastic job caring for our senior dog who needed medication administered at specific times. She was pro-active about getting an understanding of our pet’s physical limitations, and clearly made an effort to make sure his stay was comfortable and safe. Eleanor has the kind of experience and ease with dogs that should make any perspective client comfortable with leaving their pet in her care.”
“They took excellent care of my dog. Picture and video were sent to let me know that my dog was doing fine. I will definitely use them again. Great service 👏”
“Angela was sweet and kind to my boy. I think Rover expects caregivers to update daily and include pics. Angela did this multiple times daily. Overwhelming comfort knowing your pet is comfortable and cared for so lovingly. We’ll be using Angela for our extended vacation in a couple weeks!”

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. She provided updates, was attentive, and clearly cared for my pup as if she were her own. 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
There are 3,300 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gary. About 90% of Gary 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.

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.
