“Tiggy had another great stay with Michael and Liz and we already booked our next reservation with them. I appreciated the flexibility with this last-minute booking and the daily photos of Tiggy’s antics.”
“Janet was SO accommodating and loving to my dogs when I drove to visit my son for his birthday. His roomie is allergic to dogs and I couldn't bring them into their house, but he wanted to see them. Janet kept my guys happy all day while I was spending time with my child. She even let me pick them up late after I was done with the birthday festivities. I highly recommend Janet to take care of your babies if you are in the Vine Grove area. She is super sweet and kind. A+++ sitter... really goes above and beyond. Thank you, again, Janet. I appreciate you.”
About: Growing up with dogs of all sizes taught me how to adapt to their unique needs, training styles, and energy levels. I currently care for two energetic, 45-pound dogs, which requires daily structured exercise, interactive mental stimulation, and consistent behavioral management. We all savor ending the night with cuddles and love. I currently work weekdays and get off around 2:30pm so I would be available after then and on some weekends. Due to my job, i'm often available when there are seasonal/holiday breaks. I also live on the base at fort knox! I have 2 dogs that are very shy around newcomers, but love to play when they are warmed up. Since I understand that going into someone's home it's scary for the new comer. I will be extra careful and make sure that they feel comfortable and safe. I do have a fenced yard. I am always around the dogs, so there are almost no times when they are left alone.
“My dogs spent 3 days with Crystal, they were safe and healthy and well cared for! She provided regular updates and worked with me when my flight was delayed so I had to pick up later than expected. Will definitely use her again.”
“Maria is an amazing sitter and I will be referring all my friends to her. She always makes gays very happy! He is always in a great mood when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. And when I am away she updates me daily.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I am completely comfortable around animals of all different shapes and sizes. I can leash train your dogs if you are having a hard time reeling them in. While I do work during the day, I have the ability to frequent the home and take pets out for walks, play pass, or even just spend time giving them some love. I am home every evening and night. I have a fenced in back yard for free running. I have a small dog that is super friendly to strangers. He walks with me with no leash, and won’t even chase a cat, because he is well trained.
“Was great to my dog sent photo update and was flexible with my pickup time when I had a family emergency. You can tell she really cares for the animals she's watching”
“We were a bit reluctant to leave our 8 year old who can be unfriendly towards other dogs, along with our big foster puppy who we have only had a month. Scott took both dogs right away and had them all playing together within a few hours. He has a nice set up whether your dog needs lots of room to run around or a kennel to keep them safe. I would recommend him as a pet sitter.”
“We’ve used Julie twice now and she is nothing short of amazing. Our little girl loves it there and I know she is well taken care of. Julie is super easy to communicate with and very responsive! If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, book her now!”
“She did an amazing job looking after our girl over 4th of July weekend. Couldn't recommend Jen enough. Will definitely be requesting her again in the future.”
“Penny seem to settle right in with Elaine and Cal and the regular picture updates we received! Even when I arrived to pick her up, she barely wanted to stop playing and exploring!”
“Lea and her family were fantastic when I needed a last minute reservation. Great communication and photos made it easier knowing he was being taken care of well. I have already booked with her for our next trip!”
“Christina is wonderful! She did an amazing job taking care of my cat Rufus. She went above and beyond to make sure he had everything he needed. She is communicative and a fantastic sitter.”
“Kaitlin was super patient with Fiona during her puppy teething phase and that takes a lot! She was also always super quick to respond and sent pics while I was away :)”

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 Laconia 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 Laconia 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 Laconia.
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 Laconia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Laconia 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.
