“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!”
“Nicole took our dog very last minute and was so flexible with our timing. Her family took our dog into their home and treated him as their own! She is our go to when we need someone to watch our dog! We love the daily communication and pictures/videos she sends! We will be booking with her again soon!”
About: I love animals, especially dogs. I’ve had my own pets for years and helped care for others dogs any time I’ve been asked. I have a couple of weeks between work and starting school, so I will be staying home with my dog Koko and she would love some friends to hang out with as well! She is great with other dogs and has had plenty of experience meeting and getting along with new dogs. I have a decently sized fenced in backyard that will allow them to run around and play as much as they want throughout the day and plenty of room for them to relax inside when they need a break. I am in between work and school, so I will be home full time to keep your dog entertained in whatever way they need. My dog Koko loves to play with other dogs and we would be able to go for walks as needed as well. My girlfriend is also home during her off time of school and can help when needed as well. We both have a lot of experience for caring for different breeds of dogs. Someone will always be home to keep an eye on your pup! We have a fenced in back yard that has decent shaded areas. Our dog has some separation anxiety, so we are used to staying out and playing, so your dog won’t have any unsupervised time if that is a need/concern.
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
“Our dog Odin had another excellent stay with Rachel and Seth. Super easy communication and booking, and very accommodating when we needed to update Odin's stay when our travel plans shifted. Leaving Odin with Rachel and Seth gives us a piece of mind that he is well taken care of, and better yet, has a great time, especially with squirrels in their yard. Will book again without hesitation.”
“David was so great to my two frenchies. We completed a meet and greet and I knew within minutes of my dogs exploring and meeting the pack that this would be a great fit. They got to make new friends and be part of a very well behaved pack. They received lots of activity in his large enclosed yard with plenty of space to run or explore. Dogs were bathed on pickup and looked happy and healthy. David send daily videos which were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using David for all my travel plans knowing my dogs are in good hands.”
“Sadie had a blast staying with Richard! He made sure to send pictures and videos and kept us updated on how she was doing. Would definitely book with him again!”
“Great communication! They gave us an update and pictures every other day or so on how our pup was doing. Our dog seemed very comfortable staying with them. Happy customer!”
“This was my first time ever leaving Frank. With him being so young when we left him, I was beyond nervous. Nicole and her family eased any worries I had. They treated Frank as their own pup and would send me pictures of him regular. They made sure to accommodate to any little need he had. Next time we need a sitter, we will definitely use Nicole!”
“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.”
“Tolu was so helpful. He was able to watch out dog with little notice and welcomed him with open arms. He sent me pictures throughout the weekend and we are so thankful we found someone who cared for our dog while we were away.”
“Valerie was great with our pup! Bean can be a little nervous but Valerie was great with updates and letting us know that he was doing well. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Amy and her sweet family took such wonderful care of our golden retriever! He was so happy playing there, got so much extra attention and love, big backyard for running. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Emily and her husband were amazing with our dog. She invited us over before our trip for Our dogs to meet each other. They became fast friends and had a ball while we were away. Emily sent pictures and updates every day. Our flight was delayed coming home and she was very kind and understanding. We’ve found our trusted pet sitter!”
“Sara was very thoughtful and communicated during our Doberman’s stay and sent amazing photos. She made both drop off and pick up seamless as well. Looking forward to booking again with Sara in the future!”
“I am so blessed to have such a wonderful first experience with Rover and allowing someone to keep my baby boy , because he’s my ESA !!! Diandra and her family were very communicative, welcoming and I don’t doubt for a second the love they have for dogs .. I would love for my boy to stay again if we are in town !!”
“This was my first time using the app, and I was understandably nervous about leaving Baxter with someone new. Those concerns quickly disappeared after meeting Aloysius. Throughout Baxter’s stay, Aloysius provided consistent updates, photos, and videos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. His communication was excellent, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about Baxter’s well-being. I always felt informed and confident that Baxter was receiving the attention and care he needed. Baxter is still a young, energetic pup who requires a lot of engagement, and I was also concerned because he has limited experience around other dogs. Aloysius handled everything wonderfully. Baxter adjusted well, got along great with the other dogs, and appeared comfortable and happy throughout his stay. What impressed me most was the level of care and thoughtfulness that went above and beyond my expectations. When we picked Baxter up, Aloysius gifted us a beautifully framed photo of him. It was such a meaningful and heartfelt gesture that truly touched our family. Baxter came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. That alone speaks volumes. I am extremely grateful for the exceptional care, communication, and professionalism Aloysius provided. I would not hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you, Aloysius, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter. We look forward to seeing you again. 🐾❤️”

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! 🐾💕
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!

There are 930 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Indianapolis. About 91% of Indianapolis sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.

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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
