Natasha was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Beans! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Beans was happy and comfortable. We loved getting updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Beans was well cared for and received plenty of attention and love. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book Natasha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Natasha, for taking such amazing care of Beans! 🐾💕

Jacklyn is fantastic! She is so sweet and truly cares about all of the pups she cares for. She sent regular updates with tons of pictures and even videos - which I really enjoyed. She has a huge fenced-in yard where my pup got to explore and play all throughout his stay. I highly recommend Jacklyn! I will definitely be booking again!

About: I have had pets and farm animals my entire life. I know their needs and prioritize making sure they are met. I am thoughtful, attentive and caring to all! As a full-time remote professional, pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine without disrupting my work. My schedule allows me to work comfortably from my home office desk while providing your dog with consistent supervision, regular companionship, and frequent outdoor breaks in my securely fenced backyard. Because I do not offer neighborhood walks, my focus remains entirely on structured indoor play, mental enrichment, and easy access to yard exercise. I strictly care for a limited number of low-maintenance guest dogs at a time. This deliberate limit guarantees that your pet fits perfectly into my balanced workday, receiving high-quality, individual attention and a premium, stress-free stay. Because I work from home full-time, your pet will enjoy a highly structured, reliable routine with constant human company. My home office setup allows me to provide continuous supervision and easy, frequent access to the outdoors throughout the day. For safety, guest pets have a dedicated, pet-proofed space separate from our family areas, and I always feed animals individually to ensure a completely stress-free mealtime. I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and crating to keep your pet’s routine identical to what they enjoy at home.

Bowen was communicative and very reliable. My dog has behavioral issues (severe separation anxiety and reactivity) and I’m hesitant to send him off, but Bowen made me feel very comfortable. Bowen even provided me extensive information around how I could help his anxiety as we continue training. He was extremely happy and showed no signs of stress (he typically does) when he returned to me. I will definitely use Bowen again and would highly recommend!

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.

Accepted our booking on very short notice, gave us updates on our dog, and was very reasonable with us being about 30 minutes late to get him. Not from the area, but would try to book gizmo with him again if we do come back

About: I spent the last year in Sitka, Alaska, pet sitting and dog walking, and I absolutely loved it. I cared for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs, including some with complex medical conditions that required medications and close attention. As a medical student, I’m calm under pressure, organized, and attentive to detail. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. As a medical student, I spend much of my day studying from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be around pets for most of the day. I enjoy taking breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pet needs company while you’re away, regular walks, medication, or just someone to give them attention and affection, I’m happy to make them a part of my day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always try to keep pets on the routine they’re most comfortable with. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care your pet needs. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while keeping your home clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe environment with constant supervision since I spend much of my time studying from home. I’ll provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship while maintaining the schedule they’re used to. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I tailor my care to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved.

Jackson took care of my pups while I traveled. This was their first time ever being boarded, so thanks for a pleasant experience. We were provided with updates and they even received a complimentary bath. I know my pups loved it as they love water and don't usually get 2 baths in a week lol. Thanks again Jackson, we will surely return again.

Gabrielle provided excellent care for our dog. She was very responsive and provide frequent updates and communications. Our dog got a little separation anxiety on the first couple days due to recent frequent moving. Gabrielle was very caring and provide extra care and support make our dog adjusted and relaxed quickly. Gabrielle also have a nice fenced yard for the dog to play and she played fetch with our dog, which is her favorite. Will absolutely use her again for our next session.

Mary and her husband took wonderful care of Bunny. They gave her plenty of one on one attention, were very accommodating of her quirks (especially her dislike of thunderstorms), and made sure she got lots of walks around the city. It’s clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would happily trust them with Bunny again!

FAQs for Boarding - Indianapolis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Indianapolis on Rover is $34.78 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 901 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Indianapolis. 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.

99% of Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis 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 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.

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.
