“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.”
“Rachel and Seth were amazing! We have 2 American leopard hounds and they took such great care of them. Sent us pictures every day with a little message as to how they were doing. Made us feel very comfortable while we were on our vacation. The dogs I felt loved it there too. Will definitely use them again and recommend them to our family and friends.”
“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!”
“We were so lucky to be able to re-book Destiny so that our dog could stay with her as we made our rounds through several museums. She was attentive to his funny personality and captured photos of him in action at the dog park and relaxing at her home. Will definitely connect again when we are in the area. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with our Maggie girl! She usually doesn’t do well with boarding, but we didn’t have to worry about her at all while she was there! We will absolutely use them again.”
“My dogs did fantastic with Nichole! My dogs have issues at meal times, and she made sure my one dog got all her meals! I won’t ever take my girls anywhere else—and will hunt her down and drag her back if she tries to move away! Getting 7-8 pictures every day of my girls playing with the other dogs—they were having so much fun running around, even some on the couch with Nichole getting loving attention. You just aren’t going to get that everywhere. She is the best!”
“I had my dog boarded overnight with Tolu and it couldn't have been easier. He's responsive, responsible, flexible, and really cares about your dog. Will definitely be back. Thanks again!”
“My dog Charlie seemed to really enjoy his stay. The sitters sent pictures and videos of him having fun and daily updates. I highly recommend them and would use them again.”
“Heather was great. She and her family loved and took great care of Carver and Cedric! I appreciated the updates and how happy the guys were when we brought them home. Our pug (Cedric) drinks a lot of water and it was obvious they kept him well hydrated, which we really appreciated!!”
“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. 🐾❤️”
“I can’t recommend Meagan enough! She took such great care of Ralph and was so caring and attentive to all his needs. She was super responsive and sent me daily updates, which I really appreciated. She even took Ralph to the park where he got to run around, play, and enjoy the outdoors. He came home completely exhausted from having so much fun! It was clear he had a great time with her, and I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’ll definitely use Meagan again!”
“Julie was great she was just excellent. She sent me videos and pictures. She kept me updated on everything that was going on with my dog. I felt very comfortable with her. There were no problems, no issues. She treated gizmo as if he were her own, and that's exactly what I wanted. I would definitely use her again without hesitation and recommend her very highly.”
“Amazing as always. My dog was excited to go inside the second we got to her house & looked like she was extremely happy when I came to pick her up. Annie was a bit flexible with time, which was super helpful. I was also happy to see the dogs interacting.”
“Sara is a rockstar!! Our fur baby is 13 years old and needs patience and love, but he thrived in Sara’s care. Also, Sara was very accommodating to travel arrangement changes with minimal notice.”
“Mona is awesome! She is very attentive to all the dogs’ needs and has different spots to play both inside and outside. She is very welcoming and friendly. Our pup had such a good time!”
“Great communication!!! Leo had a great time spending the weekend with Seygourney, Eric, and their dog James. I received lots of updates including photos and a video. Would definitely recommend!”
“as usual, Valerie was excellent with our dog, very communicative, and super flexible with pick up when our flight home got cancelled! she (& gunther!) are the best!”
“Lynna is an excellent dog sitter. She sent numerous pictures while sitting for my dog Bella. She even sent me a photo shot that she did with Bella. It was just adorable. She suggested a different treat for Bella that she enjoyed. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Lynna.”

Scheduling with Jackson and his communication is very good. Jackson appears to be a natural with pets. My dog, Harry was left with him on the 1st visit for doggie daycare he and did not even turn around to try to come back with me. When I picked Harry up, he was calm and Jackson said after his initial anxiety, he progressed and interacted well with him and the other pets. I feel very confident using Jackson’s services and have booked boarding Harry with him for five days.
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!
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!

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.
