“Another great stay for our pup with Holly! We are so grateful to Holly for accommodating a last minute stay that our dog clearly loved. Excellent communication and care.”
“Melanie and family took care of Maxim for more than a week like a family. They shared updates regularly and were very caring. We are so happy and would definitely recommend them.”
“Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Alice was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I did not know but she put me at ease as soon as we met. It was readily apparent that she has a lot of experience with dogs, and the safety and well-being of those in her care is her primary concern. She sent daily photos, videos and updates while I was gone. And it was obvious that Lucky enjoyed himself while he was there. Alice is a kind-hearted and responsible caregiver. She is at the top of my call list for future needs. Thanks Alice!”
“My Lola had a blast staying with Lisa! She sent many pictures and updates during her stay and was very responsive. Plenty of toys and comfy places for a pup to enjoy in the household and a safe fenced in yard. Would definitely recommend!”
“Becky took care of Silky very well and took him for walks and updated regularly regarding how he was doing. She also picked him up and dropped him off which was very convenient especially with the bad weather with snow at the time.”
“Evan did a great job taking care of our two dogs. He was very accommodating regarding drop off and pick up times and replied to messages very promptly. We felt comfortable with the environment we’d be leaving our dogs in and felt like Evan would take good care of them. We enjoyed receiving photos of our dogs during our stay and will definitely use him for future dog sitting needs.”
“Having peace of mind that Zoee is content and well cared for is super important to me. Debora provided excellent care, and a calm vacation spot for our little mini-yorkie while we were out of state. Highly recommend :)”
“This was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with a non family member. Initially I was so nervous but Samatha quickly put my mind at ease. I absolutely loved all the pictures and updates throughout our time away! Will definitely be using Samatha for future stays!”
“Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!”
“Jenevieve is the best!! Excellent at communication! Loved getting the updates and photos of Kinnick! Thanks for taking such good care of him!! We are so grateful for you!!”
“Kevin was incredibly responsive in scheduling a somewhat last-minute booking, shared photos of Monte throughout his stay and provided consistent updates, and treated Monte like his own. Will absolutrly be using Kevin again and would highly recommend him.”
“I’m so happy I picked Tam and Alexander to watch our dog while we were out of town! The communication was great and I received so many pictures and updates. I would 100% recommend them and we will for sure use them again when we travel ☺️”
“Tilly had such a wonderful time with Meagan! She got a lot of extra cuddles, and got the chance to interact with a few new dog friends. I would definitely recommend her and book her again.”
“Kimberlee is wonderful! Our pup is a repeat customer of hers, and he didn’t even look back when we dropped him off. His tail was wagging the whole time! She sends lots of photos, and it’s clear your dog is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely be bringing our pup back!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Ivana did a fabulous job, truly going above and beyond our expectations! We felt that she treated our dog like family, exactly as we would treat her. We got daily updates/videos and in every one, our dog looked like she was having the most amazing time! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“They have watched my dog multiple times now! I won’t go to anyone else but Erin and Chris to watch my fur baby! They take care of him like he is their own dog. My dog loves to be at their house! I get daily picture updates and it always looks like he is having the time of his life. He truly gets treated like a king at their house❤️. If you are deciding who to book with, book with Erin and Chris. I promise you won’t be disappointed🤗”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”
“Lucia was the best pet sitter for our kitty cat Sai. She went above and beyond and picked him up and dropped him off. She sent pics often and I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. Lucia also just has a kind and friendly personality. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I am very happy with our experience.”
“Katie was so amazing with my dogs! I have a 3 year old rescue who can be overly sensitive at times as well as a 5 month old Belgian Malinois puppy who is the complete opposite. This was my first time using Rover, and also having such a great job, sending updated pictures of them, and making sure I was informed and comfortable the entire time. My pups had such a blast!!! We will DEFINITELY use her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Indianola on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 339 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Indianola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Indianola sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Indianola landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Indianola home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Indianola.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Indianola sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
