“Great service and excellent communication. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really reassured me that the dogs were having fun and well taken care of. Highly recommend! Will book again.”
“Deborah and her family were great with Bentley!! He looked so happy in all of his pictures and they were so accommodating. I think our pup even became a little protective of her and her family by the end of the visit and he only does that to people he truly cares about. I couldn’t recommend more!”
“Our two large, energetic boys did great. I very much appreciated the updates Jordyn gave to let us know they were having a good time. Jordyn’s sweet nature will have you and your pups feeling well cared for.”
“Svetlana took excellent care of Dexter during his two-week stay. Communication was great from start to finish, and she consistently sent detailed updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while traveling. It was clear Dexter was very comfortable and happy in her care. She paid close attention to his routines, walks, eating habits, and even adapted really well to communicating with him using hand signals since he is deaf. We especially appreciated how observant and thoughtful she was about his comfort, behavior, and exercise. Dexter clearly bonded with her family and PomPom, and it genuinely felt like he was staying in a caring home environment rather than just being boarded. We would absolutely book with Svetlana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”
“Ms. Lori is the sweetest and takes great care of my pups. She was great at keeping my diabetic dog on his schedule and proactively communicated with me when I didn't leave enough food for them to last through their stay! I was able to get her the food before she ran out because of her proactive communication. Thank you Ms. Lori!”
“It was my cats first time being watched by anyone and this couple made the experience perfect for her. They are very good at keeping updates and gave her all the love to make her feel safe and happy. Thank you again and I will be booking a longer stay next month 💜”
“Amy and her family were great! Amy’s communication was great. Prior to boarding she sent a reminder of what to bring for Reeces’’ stay. I received daily photos and updates of him. Reeces came home well rested, happy and healthy. I would definitely rebook with Amy in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby!”
“Kristina and her husband were wonderful to work with and they took amazing care of Arthur. Easy drop of and pick up. Clear communications and no confusion. Great updates throughout his stay. He was loved and treated as one of their own dogs. And it showed. I will definitely be using this family again for my boardings in the future.”
“Karenly was fantastic, kept me updated everyday about how the stay was going and how our dog was adjusting during the stay. Was very responsive to questions and inquiries. Will definitely book again!”
“They did a wonderful job watching our dog, Pico! She looked happy in every picture they sent to us and reported on her with photos! Spoiled her with treats and respected my wishes to not feed her human food. I would definitely recommend!”
“Darci loves Barbara and Tucker! When we arrived, she went straight to Barbara to get some loving. It makes being away so much easier when you know your furbaby is loved and safe. Thanks, Barbara!”
“We’re so grateful to Wallace and LuLu for their flexibility and care in boarding our dog with very little notice, when our family could not. We were put at ease with pictures and reassurance that he had settled in and was getting on fine with the other “campers”, as Wallace put it. They were so welcoming and accommodating. We look forward to Barkley camping there again!”
“Monica is excellent. She makes sure she knows about your dog's personality and needs before she sits. She sends lots of pictures to update you during the stay and lets you know how the dogs fared while you were gone. She is organized. We would definitely use Monica again.”
“When our dogs stay with Kristina we know they are taken care of as if they were at home with us! They love going to her house. Kristina always sends us photos of our fur babies while we are gone too, which we absolutely love!”
“Ryan and family were exceptional! I highly recommend them and hope that they have availability the next time in have the need. Wonderful people and Rover ambassadors!!”

Kelsey was amazing from the moment we met! It was the first time for us to leave our dog with anyone and Kelsey made me feel comfortable and entire time and sent photos too. Our Poopy stayed 6 nights July 23-29, 2026 and got so much love and attention. I will definitely be using Kelsey again and highly recommend. Great experience using Rover for the first time and so glad we did🤩🥰🤩
This is our second review for Jordyn. We recently had her watch our pup for almost 2 week and we couldn’t be happier. She’s terrific and sincerely cares about how our pup’s time with her goes. She is super communicative and is easy to contact. We highly recommend her. She will treat your dog like one of her own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gary on Rover is $38.85 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 1,255 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.
97% 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 TX 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.
