“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 was great! She has a great setup for the dogs she watches and she is very respectful and friendly. She took great care of our Rosie. She kept me updated with photos/videos of her and was quick to respond. Definitely recommend her to keep your pets!”
“She was absolutely amazing! I got consistent photos of my girl and they treated her as her own baby. I already am preparing to book her again in July because Percie and I loved her so much!”
“Lori was great! I am very selective who I leave my dog since he is 13 and I don’t want him getting hurt. I appreciate the good care she took of him while I was away and the picture updates! He came back full grins and I could tell he had a good time.”
“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.”
“Christina‘s passion for dogs is evident when you first meet her. Her house is set up to accommodate the dogs. She has a kitty pool for them to play in their backyard. She takes them on walks twice a day and is very loving towards the dogs. She effectively communicated the entire time we were out of town sending pictures and updates. I would very much consider using her again.”
“Prince looks like he had a great time! He was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Thank you for taking such good care of him. We will definitely book again with Travis and Julianne.”
“Thank you so much She was great. I mostly liked her daily pictures of our dog and daily updates. That put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. My dog was relaxed and very happy Wonderful people. Would use her again 100%. THANK YOU SO MUCH !”
“Thank you, Tiffany and family, for taking such great care of Pedro! Such a loving family and he seemed very comfortable. Grateful for the updates and pics :)”
“Roxy loves to stay with Amy and her family. Not everyone can appreciate the big personality of a Boston Terrier, but they love her and treat her like the Queen she is. I am always so thankful to have Amy watch Roxy. We can relax knowing she is living her best life!!”
“absolutely amazing! I have HIGH energy dogs and he handled them like a CHAMP. His rates are amazing. He sends videos of the dogs on walks and my dogs came home very happy! I will be using him again!”
“Lauren and her family were amazing. She was easy to work with and quick to communicate. I knew my pup was loved and taken care of and had nothing to worry about. She sent daily pictures with updates of events and I could see in my pups eyes how happy she was, so mush so, that I was afraid she was not going to want to come home- haha. Thank you Lauren!!!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have been actively involved in the rescue community for over 10 years and have extensive experience working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. I hold a degree in Animal Science and have gained hands-on experience working at a local animal shelter as well as as a pet care technician in a pet store. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. I am able to care for cats and am very knowledgeable about their unique needs and personalities. I am also able to board dogs, provided they are friendly with cats and children. Since I work from home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of supervision, attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a calm and loving environment, I am committed to providing the same level of care and compassion that I would give my own animals. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and at ease while you’re apart. I work from home full time so I will be on YOUR pets schedule. I do have small children but they have been taught how to be around animals appropriately. They love to play with the animals but will never be unattended with them. I will provide whatever needs YOUR pet needs. They are all different and have different needs and schedules. I allow free roaming. Pets on furniture. Pets sleeping in the bed. Whatever your baby is most comfortable with is what they will get here.
“Ryan, Lisa, and the family were great. Super easy to work with and the 1st time our dog has eaten all his food while being boarded. Very happy and will definitely use again.”
“Barbara is absolutely exceptional. She took care of my pups like her own. Crush even got a play date with a couple of her dogs. She was very accommodating when my flight got in really late for me to come pickup Crush. And she sent lots of pictures while I was away. She’s the best. Hands down.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have a goofy pitbull named Steel that is my pride and joy and loves being around other dogs. I work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to play with your pups, let them snore under my desk as I work or even go for a walk on my breaks. All sizes and breeds welcome! Plenty of experience with bully breeds. I am a twin mom so your dog must be comfortable with small children in the house that may throw a few toys over their playpen to share. I'm currently working from home M-F and have plenty of time to play with your pups! If I need to make a quick grocery store run it's right around the corner and usually takes 40min tops. Saturday mornings we usually take the kids to swim but are only gone for 3hrs. I have a fenced in yard. Baby gates and a crate if needed. Plenty of treats and water bowls. A safe quiet neighborhood for walks to get our steps in. I also love to take pictures so I'll be sure to keep you updated.
“Kristina did a great job! She knows dogs and ours was no exception. She was very good about sending updates, videos and pictures. Your pet will be in good hands. We will definitely use her again.”
“Thanks for taking care of our pets. Look forward to the next time we need help with their care. Awesome job we will call again. By the way we loved the pictures”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gary on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,275 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.
96% 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.
