“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Sharon was an amazing pet sitter for our 🐶 . She treated her as if she were her own dog, always making sure she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated with photos and videos all the time, which we truly appreciated. You can really see the love and dedication she puts into her work. We highly recommend her!”

“Mary took great care of our very enthusiastic 70 lb husky mix while we were out of town overnight. She sent us multiple pictures even though we were only gone for 24 hours. Mary and her husband cared for our dog like he was their own. We could not be more pleased with this stay and will definitely be using them again!”
“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.”
“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! 🐾💕”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“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.”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”
“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!”

About: Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care as if they were my own. I've been taking care of dogs since a young age. I am an animal lover. Growing up I've owned over 10 dogs. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I love to cuddle, play walk etc. I love animals! I will take care of your fur babies as if they are my own! We will play and go for walks! They will be comfortable and in a safe space until you return! I have had dogs of my own all my life! They just want be loved like we do! So why not love them! I take great joy in walking with them and playing catch! Most dogs are like little humans that can't talk! But they will definitely get their point across. We will be on a schedule of eating and go outside to play and potty. My drop off and pick up times are from 6am-7:25am, 12pm-1pm and any time after 5 Monday-Friday. (can be flexible just let me know the time ahead of time) Saturday and Sunday pick up and drop off anytime. we will play and have fun. As far as eating if they have a certain eating schedule let me know and I can follow by that. Majority of my front yard is fenced. I will go outside to let your dog to use the potty. I also have a big field not far from my home for then to run and be walked around.
“Becky and Cam are so attentive and make sure that my little guy gets tons of attention, enjoys time in the yard, gets out and about for good walks, and is generally super well cared for. Their pups Merlyn and Fern are so welcoming and playful and it makes me feel good leaving my pup with all of them when I’m away. I highly recommend using their services!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have always loved animals. Although I'm not technically trained, I did go through obedience school with my Labrador retriever in Middle School and learned proper handling of tugging dogs. I have also had to handle lifting medium sized dogs (the lab and pit mixes) due to deteriorating health in old age. I live in a single, smoke-free household with a fenced in yard for lots of room for supervised running for dogs. There is also plenty room inside for curious cat exploration. I love all animals and can't wait to get the opportunity to shower all your pets with love. I am currently looking for new employment and can do anytime during the week for boarding, walks, drops ins, etc. I am entirely open for now. I live alone in a single family home with a fenced in yard. Although the yard is fenced in, I would not allow unsupervised time outside and will leave leashing up to the client. Animals will be allowed on furniture unless otherwise stated by the client. I will feed based on the clients request.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Indianapolis is $40

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!
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.
CJ was absolutely amazing! My precious Zola has never stayed with anyone beside me and my mom, so I was sooo nervous about anyone watching her. Zola was also showing signs of being uncomfortable with strangers and growling so I was worried. However, CJ being an amazing dog trainer I knew that was exactly what my girl needed. After only one hour of meeting Zola was not pulling the leash anymore and liked CJ as well. When it was time to drop her off he gave her a space considering her temperament and looked after her. She sent videos and pictures to keep me update and I could enjoy my vacation knowing my baby was well taken care of. I’m DEFINITELY booking again and you should too! He’s legit.
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!

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.
