“Luna loves all the personal attention given to her by Mary and her husband. Luna came home happy and exhausted. We love Mary. She is an awesome caretaker and sitter.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Dayana took excellent care of my dog. Her dog and mine had a great time, and when my dog came home he was so worn out from all the playtime, he could barely keep his eyes open.”
“Katie was so friendly and gave us updates and pictures everyday. Willa seemed to enjoy her stay and we could tell she was well cared for and given lots of love. We would love to use Katie again in the future!”
“Stacy was wonderful with our dog Cali and we could tell when we picked her up, she had had a great time! Stacy was very communicative and sent us daily pictures, which made our time away from Cali a little easier. We are so thankful to Stacy and we would highly recommend her for your fur baby :)”
“I can’t understate how much Theo loves staying with Leta and her wonderful family. He perks up every time we get to their home and jumps out of his skin when he sees her. Plenty of play time & stimulation with their fur babies, fun places to climb and explore, lots of love. He has stayed twice and I will always look to them first. Fully recommend!”
“He came through for me in a pinch and was very accommodating. When everyone turned me down he was willing to board my boy who struggles with aggression towards other dogs and has even provided training to get him on the right track. My boy stayed for 3 nights and was treated like family with him, I even got daily updates at least 3 times a day and that made me even more comfortable as it was the first time my boy has been away from our family. Wakka was having so much fun with him that I couldn’t tell if he wanted to leave or not, I will definitely only go to Corey from this point for any needs I have and I’m lucky to have used his services.”
“Jameelah was an absolute delight to work with. She very clearly loved caring for our dog, Freddie. She sent lots of adorable pictures, took him on walks, and kept in close contact. We will absolutely use her again and appreciate everything she did to watch our little guy while we were gone.”
“Lynna is an excellent dog sitter. She sent numerous pictures while sitting for my dog Bella. She even sent me a photo shot that she did with Bella. It was just adorable. She suggested a different treat for Bella that she enjoyed. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Lynna.”
“Rubal cared for our Pomeranian, Milo, and she was fantastic. She kept us in the loop with regular photos and videos, clear, quick communication, and you can tell she really cares. We felt very comfortable the whole time. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“As first time Rover users we were a little bit of “stressed parents” but Nichole eased all worries and Ezra had a great time! She sent plenty of photos and videos of him playing! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 I’ve also had farm animals when I was younger but now I have a dog and a cat. I love teaching animals ticks! Love taking dogs on a adventure. Im currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available anytime of the week and can take last minute requests I have had pets before so I know what to expect from them. I currently have a cat that loves to play! She’s friendly and great with cats and dogs!
“I could not be more grateful for the attention, care and acceptance on the same day as Earlie; she is a loving and dedicated person, she was our angel with Sharow. Excellent service and kept me in the loop, Zeus enjoyed sharing while we were on the road, we had issues with the app but she was very accessible. thank you!!”
“Great communication!!! Leo had a great time spending the weekend with Seygourney, Eric, and their dog James. I received lots of updates including photos and a video. Would definitely recommend!”
“My maltese dog Roméo have been with Kayley for 6 days, when I had to pick him up, Romeo was like so relieved to have been on vacation. She took great care of him and even gave me some tips for Romeo's needs. I highly recommend her if you want your dog to feel like home while you're away. It's plain to see, it was such a great experience for Romeo spending some days at her place. Thank you so much Kayley!”
“Gnocchi came home a bit tuckered out. She got to run around Christopher’s back yard!!! We got to see videos and pictures of her stay. Will book again, when we get to have time away.”

Paola was wonderful! I had some unexpected travel and needed someone to watch Teddy for 8 days. This was my first time leaving Teddy with anyone longer than 1 night, but Paola put my mind to ease with all the photos, videos, and updates throughout the entire week. He even got to socialize and play with other dogs during his visit. He came back tired, healthy, and happy. We plan to visit Paola for future day visits because this experience was so fantastic.
Fantastic service! Natasha took incredible care of Mango. She was super attentive the entire time, keeping me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. She is incredibly kind and responsive—honestly, the best sitter I could have found. Highly recommended!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Indianapolis is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 872 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Indianapolis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis.
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 Indianapolis. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Indianapolis 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.
