“David was very professional. Kept us updated on our potties activities. Ample space that allowed for my dog to roam freely and was socialized with other dogs as well. Great job! Thank you again, David.”
“Sheila K. did a wonderful job watching our dogs at her home. One of our dogs is "special needs due to medical problems", and she accommodated her needs perfectly. Sheila would send pictures daily of our dogs, and I could tell that both dogs felt at home at Sheila's home. They also enjoyed spending time in her backyard.”
“Zula had so much fun staying at Leta’s home and playing with her fur family. I received pictures and video every day with updates. It was as if Leta had known Zula for years. She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”
“Sara was amazing! She sent lots of pics and updates. She was very responsive to my messages. I will definitely be a repeat client. My pup was so happy with her and her dogs. Thanks sara for taking such great care of my sweet boy!”
“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!!”
About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve been caring for all kinds of cats and dogs since I was 15, and I truly have a passion for animals. I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m a nurse, so I work 3 days a week. On the 4 days I’m off, I’m very open and flexible to providing pet care! I’d love to help out with walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever your pet may need! I have a big backyard and love taking my dog on walks throughout the day! During the summer, I also love taking my dog swimming in our pool. I have plenty of space for pets to play and relax, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’d love to give your pet lots of love, attention, and exercise while you’re away!
“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
“Richard took amazing care of our pup, Porter, while we were gone for a week. Richard communicated promptly and would always send pictures and videos of Porter. His dog, Bruce, was super sweet and got along great with our dog which also provided great activity and engagement during the day. Highly recommend hiring Richard to watch your furry family member, as we felt that our boy was in great hands the entire time.”
“Becky was great about providing frequent updates about my pup's stay with her. My dog Jojo had an absolute blast with her hosts, especially the two four-legged ones who welcomed into their pack. I would definitely book with Becky again!”
“Tolu helped us at the last minute when another sitter canceled… literally hours before we left town. Blue (our Cane Corso) seemed to have a great time. He came home his normal happy self. Tolu stayed in touch the whole time with pictures and updates which we very much appreciated. It was a huge relief and felt great that our dog was in good hands while we were away. Would absolutely use him again!”
“My maltese dog Roméo have been with Kayley for 6 days, when I had to pick him up, Romeo was like so relieved to have been on vacation. She took great care of him and even gave me some tips for Romeo's needs. I highly recommend her if you want your dog to feel like home while you're away. It's plain to see, it was such a great experience for Romeo spending some days at her place. Thank you so much Kayley!”
“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!”
“Bruno loves it with Nichole and I wouldn’t take him anywhere else 🥰 Thank you Nichole for always being here, when I need someone to watch him. You are truly appreciated!!”
“This was our first time boarding our dogs and we were super nervous. Max is a German Rott and not the friendliest at first sight. It takes him a moment to get comfortable with new faces. However, he is truly a loving, loyal and protective doggie. Marley, an English Cocker Spaniel is easy to adore and just wants hugs and rubs all day. Desirae was nothing but hospitable, patient, accommodating, and professional. She continued to provide photos and updates while we were away and made sure we were comfortable. She was very aware of what they needed and following our instructions to ensure they maintained their routine. This was such a wonderful first experience and I would definitely recommend Desirea. Look no further - she is absolutely amazing!”
“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!”
“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.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Indianapolis is CA$40

Joshua and his helpers did such a wonderful job taking care of Beas! This was my first time leaving her with a sitter, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Joshua made the whole experience so much easier. He kept me updated on how she was doing, sent me the cutest photos, and was great about communicating throughout her stay. When I picked Beas up, I could immediately tell she had been well cared for. She was happy, comfortable, and clearly had a great time. And honestly, anyone who can successfully manage Beas’s very enthusiastic personality deserves a medal. 😂 I really appreciated how attentive and caring they were with her. I felt like she was in good hands the entire time, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Joshua and his helpers care for her again. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!
Jackson took care of my pups while I traveled. This was their first time ever being boarded, so thanks for a pleasant experience. We were provided with updates and they even received a complimentary bath. I know my pups loved it as they love water and don't usually get 2 baths in a week lol. Thanks again Jackson, we will surely return again.
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.
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 921 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Indianapolis. About 90% 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 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.
