“Ashley was an awesome pet sitter for my two dogs. She gave us daily updates with messages, photos, and videos. The dogs had a truly wonderful time with her. It was a huge comfort to know they were being cared for so well while we were traveling.”
“Mary and her family were great with River. Obviously I can't know what happens when I'm not there but she seemed down with all of the care instructions I gave and I felt comfortable with my baby with them. They were thoughtful in what they had in the house, like cameras to watch when they're away and treads for the stairs, I'll be using her again!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
“Amy was amazing! Extremely responsive from beginning to end, very flexible, and took great care of my pup. Sent lots of pics and updates. 10/10 would recommend and book with her again.”
“Laura provided the perfect vacation for our Molly, who is older and just needs love and companionship. She was very accommodating to our schedule and easy to work with. We would highly recommend Laura and I am sure we will be using here in the future. Dave P.”
“Lindsay was so kind and caring - she went above and beyond to make our doggy Cricket feel safe and secure on the first night that she stayed with her. Lindsay kept us updated with texts, pictures, and a video. Cricket had so much fun at her house! And, Lindsay was able to accommodate our last minute boarding request. This was a wonderful experience for all of us!”
“Michelle and Sami were great when they watched my girl, Kira. They treated her like family and sent pictures/updates during her stay. Would highly recommend!”
About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
“Audrey is extremely caring & knowledgeable with cats. I’m grateful for her flexibility & willingness to accept a last minute booking. I would love to work with her again, as she put my cat at ease & cared for her well. Thank you, Audrey!”
“We are over the moon in love with Tia and her home as a home-away-from-home for our darling Rudy. We have never been so happy with the care he gets when we are away as we are now, having had him stay at Tia's home. We could see in every picture she sent that he was happy and thriving. He was always smiling, playing, cuddling or snoozing and he just looked so happy in every picture sent to us.. We feel that Rover was a fabulous find for us, but more than that, choosing Tia was the best decision we've made for dog care in years. Just knowing he was in such a supportive environment eliminated all our worries about leaving him while we traveled. This was the best experience ever! Tia cared for our dog just the way we wanted, and it was so nice to have him in her home, rather than a cement and chain link kennel.”
“Took great care of our pup Jeter while I was away for business! Thankful for the outside time they made sure he had and of course making his stay feel just like being at home!”
“Willa had a wonderful time staying with Megan, her family, and their dog. She always takes a little while to settle in and Megan and her family were patient and kind, letting her approach at her own pace. By the end of her stay, she was romping around, playing, and totally comfortable. Megan communicated clearly and sent us photos to help us miss Willa a little less. We’re very glad to have found Megan’s family to sit for Willa!!”
“I was completely and totally beyond satisfied and happy with the dog sitting provided by Vivian and her family. They went above and beyond making the dogs comfortable and happy, as well as, loved. They really went above and beyond anything I could’ve hoped for. I highly recommend them.”
“OH MY GOSH! If there were 100 stars, Natasha should have them! From the first meet and greet, we felt so comfortable leaving our "kids" with this family. We have two big labradoodles, who are spoiled rotten. We have 8 grandchildren who adore Kia and Brandy, so they are used to a lot of attention. Natasha and her family showered them with love and affection. They kept them busy and entertained for two weeks! When I returned home, the dogs weren't the least bit interested in me. They just sashayed over to me, not jumping, licking or anything! That was the test. The last place (Dog Stop) must have been lacking in something, they couldn't jump in the car fast enough. This time I couldn't get them into the car! I want to whole heartedly, recommend (Natasha) and Rover.com to everyone! My entire experience was simple, comfortable and stress free. Natasha sent me photos and updates almost daily. So we could enjoy our vacation and not worry about the treatment of our girls. I will use her any time we have the need and of course if she is available. We love Natasha! If anyone wants to talk further, please let me know! Natasha gets 100 gold stars in my book! Thank you, Jillian”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from walking and feeding to overnight stays. I often pet-sit for friends when they travel, and I've also rescued and nursed several stray dogs back to health. Every dog I care for is treated with the same love and attention as my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I'm able to walk, feed, and spend time with dogs throughout the day, not just during set hours. Weekends and evenings are open for boarding as well. I provide a calm, clean, and secure indoor environment for boarding dogs. Each dog gets a comfortable resting area, and I take them out for regular walks and bathroom breaks. Safety is always my top priority. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unfamiliar or hazardous situations.
“Kristina is your girl!!! We had an unexpected emergence and had to fly out of state. Kristina responded to our request for a sitter and helped me through the process (I’d never used Rover). She was available for last minute drop off and made me feel comfortable about where our dog was while we were dealing with an extremely stressful situation. She sent pictures of our pup and encouraged us to check in whenever. Squishy came home smelling like she just had a bath and had fully washed blankets. Kristina went above and beyond and we can’t thank her enough for her kindness. 5 stars doesn’t do her justice! If we need help again we know who we’ll be contacting. We highly recommend her services! Thanks Kristina!”
“We really appreciated Ellyn's care for Debbie. She sent us great photos and updates, and took her to the dog park multiple times. Debbie was sad to leave and was clearly very happy and comfortable there. Thank you, Ellyn!!”

Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!
Sarah did a wonderful job watching my dog remmy! Would definitely book with her again. He was with her for two nights and had a great time and came home happy as can be. Really good communication while he was with her as well sending pics throughout the day. Would recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Indianola is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $60 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.
As of October 2026, there are 861 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Indianola can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Indianola home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 PA 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.
