“Rachel did amazing taking care of our girl over the weekend! She was very communicative and attentive. We would love for her to watch our dog again! Highly recommend.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for many years. I have provided pet sitting services for over 15 years and was a devoted dog owner for 15 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a pet's life.Since 2018, I have been actively involved in fostering, caring for animals with a wide range of needs and personalities. My experience includes senior dogs, small breeds, cats, puppies, newborns, nursing mothers, and pets requiring medical attention or specialized care. Through fostering and pet sitting, I have become comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing extra patience and support to pets who need it most.What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet's individual needs while treating them like family. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior needing extra comfort, or recovering from a medical issue, I provide attentive, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. 🐾 Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I do not work outside the home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for feedings, medication schedules, playtime, and individualized attention. My daily routine is already centered around caring for foster animals, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent feeding times and providing attentive care to pets with a variety of needs. Whether your cat requires extra monitoring, a structured routine, or simply companionship, I have the time and flexibility to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a pet-friendly home environment. I also have resident cats, so any visiting pets should be comfortable around cats or able to be safely separated if needed. With over 15 years of pet-sitting experience and fostering since 2018, I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and needs, including seniors, medical cases, kittens, puppies, and nursing mothers. I closely follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Because I have an open schedule and caring for animals is my primary focus, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home while their families are away. 🐾🐱🐶
“She is absolutely fabulous. She helped us with a training issue and the dogs loved her. We were so dog sick and she sent us lots of photos of happy dogs. She is incredibly nice and very professional. We will use her again.”
About: I’m a dedicated dog mom of two and have spent almost a decade caring for dogs. I’m attentive to each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your dog will be cared for like my own, with consistent communication and adorable photo updates throughout their stay. If this sounds like the kind of care you want for your pup, send me a message. I’d love to connect. Note: 🐶 Dogs do NOT need to be crate-trained to stay with me! All pups are welcome, regardless of crate-training experience. Fully remote dog mom. Your fur babies will have someone to watch over them the whole time. I have a flexible schedule for potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I have two sweet Havanese boys. If your dog prefers space or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, that’s totally fine. I can keep them fully separated for the entire stay. Whatever keeps everyone relaxed and happy.
“Best ever!!! Our dogs came home just like they left! They were well taken care of we could tell! Other babysitters on rover our dogs came home disheveled and a mess but our dogs came home calm and clean. We know they were taken very good care of! Will only book with them from now on :-)”

“So thankful to have found Katherine! She sent lots of updates and I was able to relax knowing Guinness was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again 😊”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. Rescues have always been my preference for my personal fur baby but I love all fur babies big and small. I have professional experience as well working in a doggy daycare w/boarding. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on Weekends and after 2pm on Thursdays and 10am on Fridays. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly pup of my own to play with and I can gate/crate your dog if I need to.
“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.”
“Emily was very communicative towards meeting and let me know if anything was off, be it other dog pickups taking longer than expected or anything in general. I felt confident leaving my 13 year old dog there with her!”
“We were very nervous about leaving our 4 month old puppy for the first time and we were new to Rover. Brook made both Auggie and us feel very comfortable. Auggie instantly loved Brook and was happy to stay. Auggie had a terrific time with both Lucy and Baxter. Can't say enough good things about leaving him with Brook. We received pictures and videos which helped us feel he was safe and having a good time. I would definitely book with Brook again a thousand times better than any kennel!”
“Abby was wonderful! She was quick to respond during the booking process. She also sent daily updates with multiple photos of our pup. I knew he was well loved while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Abby and will continue to use her in the future.”
“Our first time using Rover and Tosha completely put us at ease. Her affectionate nature had our Huckleberry acting like he was at home instead of visiting at her place. 10/10 would recommend!”
“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.
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.
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!

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.
