“Karen is very kind. I feel very comfortable leaving my small dog with her. I would definitely use her again. Kallie is a lap dog and I have not left her in over a year and a half because of Covid. Karen let Kallie sit in her lap and gave her the love and attention that she craves.”
“Harley was exhausted after his stay with Deborah & Jeffrey as he was probably playing non-stop! Deborah put my mind at ease that Harley was being loved on with frequent photo updates of Harley. This was my first time leaving Harley and using Rover and was a wonderful experience.”
“I absolutely loved Aricel. She was extremely sweet and accommodating to my older pup. She was very loving and Bootz took to her well. He even got to sleep in the bed with her which he seemed to love. She sent pictures and updates daily which I greatly appreciated. I was so pleased I've already booked her for another stay.”
“I couldn't have asked for better care for my sweet baby Myla! Kevin & Diana went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home, showering her with love and attention. They kept me updated with adorable photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Myla came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism—I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for trustworthy and wonderful dog sitters!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Kristen and Kenneth, Mac loves to visit and is well taken care of everytime! He has a best buddy with Zeke and it is a blessing to know they treat him like he's part of their family when he visits ❤️❤️”
“Our two dogs loved being with them! We got pictures and updates several times while we were gone (and it was only for the weekend!) and the dogs seemed happy and tired when we picked them up. Will definitely use them again! You can tell they really care for and love your dogs like their own.”
“We had such a great experience with Joshua! Our senior dog needs medicine three times a day, and he took great care of her and made sure she got everything she needed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We really appreciate how caring and dependable she was!”
“Our pup Hugo recently had a 10 day stay with Abby and he had a wonderful stay! Abby provided flexible pickup and dropoff times and we appreciated her working with our schedule to make Hugo’s stay work within our timeframe! Abby provided daily messages & pics with updates, Hugo came home happy & tired from all of his play time with Tater Tot. As always we appreciate Abby’s great care of Hugo while we were gone! Thank you Abby, we will be booking again soon!”
“We did an overnight stay test run with Emily for our 2 dogs prior to booking for our upcoming vacation. We typically use a commercial boarder but I know the dogs are miserable the whole time. They absolutely loved Emily’s large fenced in yard and I so appreciated the frequent updates. Highly recommend!”
“I had travel plans all squared away and our usual sitter had an emergency and couldnt take care of our dog. Tammy was so fast in responding and took great care of our little one. I will definitly request Tammy's services for my next boarding. She is courteous, responsive and accomidating, and gets a five stars from me.”
“Dita was truly the best of the best! As a first-time pet owner, I was so nervous about boarding my puppy, Parle-G, for a week, but Dita made the entire experience completely stress-free. She sent multiple photo and video updates every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly responsive, followed every one of my requests and instructions, and provided such personalized care. You can tell she doesn't just watch dogs—she genuinely takes the time to get to know each dog's personality and makes them feel safe and loved. Parle-G arrived feeling shy around other dogs generally keeping to herself, but she came home so much more confident and had made so many new dog friends. It made me so happy to see videos and pictures of her socializing and looking like she was excited around other dogs. It was obvious she was well cared for and had an amazing time. I truly couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like they're her own, I cannot recommend Dita enough. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Max was a wonderful sitter. My cat fell in love with him. He was so attentive and affectionate to her. She followed him everywhere. He sent updates and photos so I felt comfortable about her wellbeing. I would 100% want to use his services again. So much better that her being alone with someone coming in to feed her, or boarding her where she would be ignored most of the time.”
“Samantha was the best dog border we've ever had! Our dog is 16 years old and has a few special needs. Samantha managed his care SO well! We were gone for 12 days, and each day Samantha sent us pics and videos! We could see that he was not only well-cared for, but also happy. Our dog took to Samantha, her family, and her dog so well, we thought he might not want to come home again. Thankfully, he was happy to come home. :-) We hope to ask Samantha to care for him again when we travel.”
“Cayla was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and so easy to communicate with. She gave us daily updates, which we really appreciated, and took such great care of our handful of a pup! Mochi was so happy and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 recommend Cayla to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring! 🐾💗”

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.

I’ve never left my cat, Willow, with anyone so I was really nervous to try this app out and I’m really glad that I did. I wouldn’t trust Willow with anyone else but Lauren. She did an excellent job taking care of her and provided daily updates with photos included. Definitely plan on rebooking in the future. 10/10 experience.
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 Pet Boarding in Indianapolis is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $63 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.
There are 899 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
