“We are very thankful with Gabriel for accepting taking care of our Peanut, and understanding how we feel when we can't be with her, we appreciate the pictures and videos a lot, we see how he cares for her and definitely we recommend him to any pup owners. He is very caring and patient, dachshunds are known for being very particular, he understands her dynamics and kept her calm and happy. We're very fortunate that we found Gabriel. Thanks to Rover too for having people who love what they do and are so caring and professional.”
About: I am a mom and local school teacher! My family would love to take care of your baby. We have watched many dogs throughout the years and would love to meet you! **Out for summer break so home the majority of the time!**. I can run home to let out to potty if needed. My kids and I are home about 2:30 each day and have the rest of the day to play. We love to go on walks and spoil your baby. We are happy to keep in their crate or allow them to sleep in our beds.
About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
“Jinna took great care of our dog. She provided updates throughout the day and was very accommodating when our timeline changed last minute. We highly recommend and will definitely book again”

“Bella had a great time with Christina and her family. She was super flexible and accommodating. The visit went really well and Christina is clearly very experienced with dogs. We really appreciated her letting Bella hang out at her house.”
“Thank you Kari & Clint for always taking such good care of our dog @ weekly daycare and boarding! He loves his time spent at your place and we appreciate you being so flexible with our schedule!”
“Khalie had an awesome time with Brendan and Duke. She’s always super excited to hang out with them all day. Brendan communicates very well and I always enjoyed getting pictures of Khalie playing with Duke. Highly recommend!”
“Our energetic Doodle could not have been in better hands. My wife often worries about using overcrowded and overstimulating pet daycare. We’re so glad we found Ellie (and her dog Red!). Luna is so happy to go there and we have no doubt she is safe. Bonus that she still comes home tired from all her fun!”
“As a "first time" doggy daycare client, I am so glad that I chose Karen for my doggy daycare needs. She noticed right off that I was SUPER NERVOUS leaving my dog with all the others. Karen followed up with me by phone to let me know that my pup was doing fine and having a good time. I can definitely see why she has so many fantastic reviews. A delightful lady!”
“So grateful to have found Carmen to take care of our Daisy. She went on 3 walks, got to play with Buddy, and got lots of love. Really appreciated all of the communication. Thank you so much!”
“We had a great experience with Heidi! Lots of detailed updates and photos :) Celeste had such a great time there that she’s kind of glum now that she’s back here haha! We hope that Heidi will host Celeste again in future!”
About: I provide personalized home boarding and daycare in Fishers, Indiana. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I accept at one time so I can provide every guest with plenty of individual attention, exercise, and close supervision. Every dog is treated like family and cared for in a safe, comfortable, home-based environment. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, senior dogs, and pets with special routines. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, medication administration, crate training consistency, or a slower pace for senior care, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. Safety is my highest priority. My home features a fully fenced backyard, secure double-check procedures during outdoor time, and close supervision of all dog interactions. I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Every stay includes structured play, enrichment activities, rest periods, and plenty of affection in a calm home environment. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and excited to come back for their next stay. I’m a dedicated full-time pet caregiver who provides consistent supervision and personalized attention throughout your dog’s stay. I also have my own high-energy Border Collie, so I’m experienced in meeting the exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation needs of active dogs while ensuring every guest gets the right balance of play and rest. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play under close supervision, giving them plenty of opportunities to stay active in a secure environment. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. My home features a fully fenced backyard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised. Dogs are introduced gradually based on temperament and are never left unsupervised together. I follow each pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and sleeping routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable. I also perform leash and gate checks every time pets enter or leave my home. I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified and prepared to respond quickly if an emergency arises.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. Friends and family have often trusted me to care for their pups, and I’m especially comfortable with small dogs and their unique personalities and needs. I’ll always treat your dog like my own! I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and quality time throughout the day. While I occasionally have evening events, I prioritize clear communication and will only accept bookings that fit my schedule to ensure every pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, safe apartment environment and my complex has a fenced-in dog park for secure outdoor play. I’m also close to several community parks and walking trails, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and enrichment.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hardscrabble commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 621 sitters in Hardscrabble, 83% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
