“Elizabeth is amazing!! Fantastic communication & my pup came home exhausted from all the exercise! Will definitely contact her again if we need another pet sitter! Thank you for taking such good care of our dog while we were away!!”
“Connor is a fabulous dog sitter from our first play date intro for Ollie and Connor to meet, to sending pictures while Ollie was boarding. Ollie had a fabulous time, and we’ll be back to stay again in the future.”
“Sheena did so well with my two kiddos! Sterling can be a bit of a handful--he has anxiety and special needs (and is a bit of a grumpy old man). I can tell that she followed the most important directions I gave her based on his condition when I picked them up, I am very grateful. 🙂”
“Another great stay for Ollie! He beyond loves his stay. He adores Kelly and Karen and his “girlfriend” Hazel. It’s amazing how well Kelly communicates with Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Yuliia took very good care of my elderly cat. She quickly gained his trust and provided regular updates to me so I didn’t worry about him. I would not hesitate to have Yuliia care for my cat in the future.”
“Daisy had another wonderful stay with Nancy! She was a bit nervous to be left behind, but Nancy soon reassured me with photos of her and news of her settling in. I think Johnny, Nancy’s dog, is also the most generous host, sharing his toys and helping Daisy to feel comfortable!”
“Kristen was great with Rumi! She sent me daily reports on how Rumi is doing and gave me that peace of mind knowing he’s well taken care of. Kristen is warm, kind, and great with dogs!”
“I was looking for help with my cats on very short notice--when I contacted SJ not only did she message right back but she also gave me a call to talk about my cats and what I was looking for. She took great care of them while they boarded with her--I think they had a lovely vacation complete with treats, cuddles and some very excellent bird and squirrel watching. Thank you SJ!”
“Craig and his wife were amazing hosts. I’m sure my pup loved spending time with Guinness and the family. Craig was really responsive and kept us informed everyday of my pup’s acitivity.”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Ai took great care of my dog Jasper while I was away for a week. Although he was a bit resistant at first, Ai got Jasper to warm up to her quickly and he got along well with her cats. She provided regular updates about how he was doing and sent me lots of pictures. Ai is also so thoughtful in wanting her guests to be comfortable that she asked for Jasper to arrive a little earlier than my booking to help him settle in before I was away and harder to reach. She was also very gracious in transferring care to my friends who watched Jasper for me for the remainder of my trip. I would 100% book with Ai again and highly recommend her to board your pets.”
“Rose was an excellent dog-sitter for Pizca! She was communicative and active. She kept us updated of how things were going and too Pizca on multiple walk and even a hike!”
“Peter was great with our dog. He sent pictures each day and told us how everything was going. Our dog got along with his dogs. We will use him again when we need him to care for our dog.”
“Juan was excellent! He sent pictures and videos throughout the week and even went out of his way to take Pepper to her own neighborhood trail. Our flight home arrived later than expected and he accommodated our late arrival graciously. We will be booking again with Juan!”
“Ying was a fantastic sitter for our furry boy! She sent lots of updates with photos and it looks like he had tons of outdoor time exploring the neighborhood and Green Lake. Ying was very easy to communicate with and seemed to really care a lot about making our boy comfortable and welcome. We will definitely look to Ying again when we need a sitter in the future. Highly recommend her!”
“Jeehyun is such a caring and loving dog sitter! Gwennie stayed at her place for one week and she had a great time there. Because Gwennie is almost blind, I was a little bit worried at beginning whether she would be able to adapt the new environment well. I was amazed that Gwennie did not show any signs of anxiety. She eats well, sleeps well and plays well with Mimi (Jeehyun's little dog). Jeehyun's two daughters Hana and Yoona are wonderful sitter assistants! They did a great job help taking care of Gwennie, training her and playing with her. We will definitely let Gwennie come back for another vacation in the future! Also, Jeehyun is a great communicator. She gave me update everyday about Gwen's activities. We had so much fun watching the photos and videos Jeehyun sent to me which allowed us to enjoy our trip without any worry on Gwennie. Thanks again Jeehyun and we really appreciate your excellent work!”
“Justine & Zak were so wonderful with Koda. She loved playing in the backyard and with the other dogs, and we got some great photos! Kodas been sleeping all day since she’s been back home😂”
“Yan took such good care of my pup! She sent me multiple pictures every day, which I really appreciated. And he clearly was comfortable and had a great time at her place! I would definitely ask her to dogsit again. :)”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Indianola is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $78 and $98 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 of October 2026, there are 5,336 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.
92% 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 WA 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.
