“Toya was a wonderful sitter. We had to shift our boarding days last minute from Fri-Mon to Thurs-Sun last minute and she was able to accommodate without a problem. She was also very responsive and would reply back to any questions or check-ins within minutes. We especially loved her family environment which I feel was very comforting to our Brick. He seemed very comfortable when he first arrived and upon pick-up from his 3 night stay. We will definitely use Toya’s services again!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing. She took good care of our big puppy. She sent pics and kept us updated. Very kind and peaceful environment just like what our big puppy is used to. She did amazing working with his separation anxiety. Thank you Sharon, you are the best.”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
“i can tell just by walking into the house that Jene and her grandma is good people. I felt comfortable to leave my dogs with them and my dogs casino and celestia seem to have got comfortable quick. I would def use again”
“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.”
“My puppy loved hanging out at her home. With my pup being so young; just a baby I thought I would be more worried. I wasn't thanks to Mia. She kept us posted throughout every day via text, pics and video. My furbaby enjoyed herself being there. I really appreciate Mia and her service. Definitely will be booking with her and recommending her for sure!”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”
“April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!”
“Alexis watched our baby girl Cookie and we had such peace of mind with the regular updates and pictures she sent! She also helped with some great tips for our little pup! We couldn’t be happier and look forward to having her watch our Cookie girl again!!!”
“This App and the service Giannina provided for Mason was amazing. I can tell he felt like he had a second home in her care. We will definitely be using her boarding again. Ruff Ruff Mason approves”
“Our Daisy had a great time at her overnight with Bridget. Bridget was great to work with, excellent communication and sent lots of pics/videos. Definitely recommend.”
“I was thoroughly please with Ebonee' s skills as a dog sitter, because she went beyond my expectations. Having her as my pet's sitter allowed me to enjoy my week long vacation. Daily she sent photos, videos, and a description of my pet's day. I was impressed by her knowledge of my dog's behavior. I strongly believe my dog enjoyed his stay and he will visit again. She is very personable individual which is an added bonus. In addition, the she is beyond the 5-star rating. I felt confident and comfortable with Ebonee!!!! Thanks again Ebonee for caring for Luke?”
“If you want complete peace of mind, book Twanna W. immediately! She recently cared for my senior golden retriever pit mix, H'Raka, for four days and treated him like royalty. She made sure he got plenty of exercise, kept me updated with photos and videos, and followed through with my request and bought him his own bed to make sure he was comfortable. H'Raka loved romping with her two boys and came home incredibly happy. Twanna’s generosity and attentiveness are unmatched. I am so grateful for her and will definitely use her services again!”
About: Dog mom of 7 years to a reactive Aussie and a 4yo Pomeranian. Trained both from puppies, as well as groom both at home due to reactivity issues. I am currently a SAHM so I’m available for walks, runs and drop by visits at all times during the week. Weekends are for soccer but we can set a schedule! I have a fenced yard for both my dogs with plenty of yard space for running around and playing. My dogs are also crate trained so we are willing to have overnight guests if needed without any worries.
“Our boys were well taken care of and happy. She was flexible on the times as we got delayed returning home. We will definitely be using her again 🤩”
“Able to take car of our girls with short notice! Liz kept me updated with pictures and messages on how they were doing throughout the day. I know they had a good day since they were pooped on the car ride home! Need a sitter? Look no more! Definitely recommend her for your doggie daycare needs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hammond
I had such a great experience with Genevieve and her husband! They were both really nice and welcoming, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their home is also so nice and cozy, which made me feel even better knowing he was staying somewhere comfortable. I also loved that they have a fenced-in yard where the dogs can safely go outside, run around, and play. They took great care of him, and I will definitely book again!!!
I was so nervous to leave my dogs for a week since I rarely ever spend time away with them. I chose Cassidy because of her experience and many great reviews. As soon as I received updates the very first night, I was finally able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Cassidy gave updates frequently and sent me lots of pictures whenever she could. She was so accommodating to my dog Ace and she made sure to wash him after he had a few accidents in the cage due to his anxiety. My dogs had so much fun and they were well taken care of while I was gone. Cassidy is communicative, accommodating and a very trustworthy dog sitter.

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.
95% of sitters in Hammond 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 Hammond 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 Hammond.
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 Hammond. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Hammond 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.
