“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”
“We had a wonderful boarding experience with Samantha! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos. She accommodated our dog’s needs perfectly and we could tell he was happy as can be! Looking forward to using her services again soon.”
“I’m so happy I picked Jacklyn to be my dog sitter . She was amazing and kept me updated about my fur baby . He loved her backyard. Can’t wait to book his next stay 😊”
“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.”
“Jackson came through for me at the last minute and watched my dog right before I had to leave for vacation. He provided great communication and really saved our trip. Thanks so much, Jackson!”
“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!”
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”
“Abby Mae received the best of care and I couldn't be more pleased. I wouldn't hesitate at all to reccomend him and his wife. I've had other Rover sitters and he is one of the best. He will be my go to sitter.”
“We dropped our dogs on our way out of town Thursday morning and returned for them Sunday evening. I appreciated Destinee's flexibility with our pick-up time (I had initially booked for the following morning but it made more sense for us to pick them up on our way through as we were heading south to Bloomington - our timing was a bit later than she would have preferred but she graciously worked with us). We received photos of the dogs both inside the house and outside in the backyard on the first three days of care, and a written description of how they were doing on the first day. The home and yard seemed nice and I really appreciated not needing to bring bowls/ beds/ extra items as she provides everything. The only tips I would have for a better "pet parent" experience would be to be more consistent with writing about how each day went, and possibly showing off some of the house/yard upon drop off. Since we don't live close by, a meet and greet or advance tour wouldn't have made sense for us anyway. I feel like our dogs were in good hands with Destinee and her husband. Thanks again for a great stay!”
“Ash and her Husband, Mike, and their two beautiful children were a great match for our dog for the week we had to find boarding. They communicated very well. They were very sweet and truly loved our dog. It is always reassuring when the hosts love our dog just as much as we do! If I could give 10 stars I would. We are very grateful for them and will surely use their services again.”
“David was awesome with Bubba! He sent constant videos so I always knew Bubba was happy and in good hands. He even managed to get him to take his medicine when it was being difficult, which I really appreciated. Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and super helpful whenever I needed anything. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again!”

“Melissa was great! She gave frequent updates on our dogs while boarding with her. She is very fast to respond to questions. Would definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“Fiona was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bambi! She was incredibly accommodating. She’s able to pick up and drop off Bambi on short notice, which made things so much easier for us. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with sweet photos, and it was clear that Bambi was having a great time. Thank you, Fiona, for treating Bambi like your own. We’d definitely book with you again!”
“Levi stayed with Stacy during the holiday and Stacy made sure to give us frequent updates. Her son and her pup were also really welcoming to our pups. Stacy also was really accommodating of our drop-off and pick-up!”
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”

Ash was an amazing dog sitter! She sent me daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Nico was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Nico! I would definitely trust Ash again and highly recommend her to anyone
Kelsey has become our go-to sitter over the last couple years and I can’t recommend her enough! She is great with our dog Walter, sends daily photos, and is flexible when coordinating drop off/pick up. Truly can’t recommend her enough, Walter always comes home happy and well taken care of!
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!
She was so wonderful! My friend that I was on vacation with told her husband that I was getting so many photos of Gally and she was barely getting any of their kids xD I can tell Gally had a great time at Leslie’s house. Thank you so much for watching her for so long!
Karli is amazing! She watched Indy for a long weekend for us when he was injured and she put me such at ease and just took the best care of him. He was basically on vacation getting cuddles and naps and going on little outings. We got lots of pics and Indy is looking forward to hanging out with her again!
Gabe took excellent care of my elderly high-maintenance dog, who is on four different medications. Gabe communicated with me at least once a day with photos and updates. My dog was relaxed and happy when I picked her up, unlike after a kennel stay, when she's frantic upon my return. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with Gabe again.

FAQs for Boarding - Indianapolis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Indianapolis on Rover is $34.41 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 910 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.
