About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town! Alexis gave me so much peace of mind by sending regular updates, including lots of photos and videos. It was clear my pup was happy, well-cared for, and loved while I was away. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“We recently booked Adrienne for an overnight for our pup Bear. It's always a little scary making a booking in a different city because you don't really have luxury of a meet and greet. I carefully screened potential candidates and settled on Adrienne as a good fit for Bear based on her profile and reviews. We were extremely pleased with Adrienne! Bear always shows a lot through his body language and he was very comfortable with Adrienne right out of the gate! I told her she's a dog whisperer! The care and love she showed for Bear was and is very appreciated. We hope to travel back to the Indianapolis area in the not too distant future and will definitely try to book Adrienne again. We highly recommend her and most importantly, Bear does too!”
“Samantha and her family welcomed Bubba as their own pup! She kept us posted on his behavior and sent picture, which we loved. She has several kiddos and dogs that kept Bubba socialized and he had ongoing play all weekend. We’d definitely recommend Samantha and plan on booking her again in the future!”
“Allison and Adam are wonderful people and they could not have been more welcoming for Loki. He didn't want to come home and he may be depressed this evening !! He misses his new friends. Thank you very much for taking such good care of our pup!!”
“I could not be more grateful for the attention, care and acceptance on the same day as Earlie; she is a loving and dedicated person, she was our angel with Sharow. Excellent service and kept me in the loop, Zeus enjoyed sharing while we were on the road, we had issues with the app but she was very accessible. thank you!!”
“Brittney was flexible and kindly worked with us on our last minute trip. She welcomed our fur baby into her family for the week and sent us daily photos of all the snuggles. Our senior dog was well loved and cared for.”
“Wonderful people, they loved being there and played tons. Took wonderful care of them, we loved the photos and the updates so much! Would 100% recommend boarding with them, we will definitely book again if we come back out that way.”
“Kristan is amazing! Our pup loved staying with her and enjoyed the backyard. She sent regular updates and pics, and our pup didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend Kristan - especially for long trips.”
“Where do I start? Cameron is amazing. He is honestly better with my two big, strong dogs than I am. I'm realizing not every sitter understands your breed and Cameron is really great with my pit mixes. He spends quality time with them, keeps them on a schedule and sends the best photos of them having a great time - EVERY DAY! Cameron isn't just a sitter, he cares about the dogs and wants them to have a good time and be safe and happy. They came home content, tired and so calm. I can't believe our luck in finding him. Highly recommend if you have big, active dogs that other sitters don't know what to do with.”

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Kennard 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 Kennard 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 Kennard.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kennard. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Kennard 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 IN 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
