“Diana took great care of Brody! This is his second time there and definitely felt right at home. She sent lots of pictures and videos of him playing hard, walking and napping. She’s great, will bring him back again!”
“Crystal was awesome! Our dog got along great with her dogs, and I trusted that Crystal was taking great care of Stella. She sent multiple photos and a video during Stella's stay and had great communication overall. We will definitely book her for all our future dog care needs.”
“ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! This was our 1st Rover booking and I think we found the best pet sitter! Odalys was great. Her communication - both before and during our dog's stay - was excellent. We especially liked the photos that she sent to us while we were away. She truly loves the pets in her care. We would highly recommend!”
“Sara is a rockstar!! Our fur baby is 13 years old and needs patience and love, but he thrived in Sara’s care. Also, Sara was very accommodating to travel arrangement changes with minimal notice.”
“This is the second time I’ve used Aaron and his family to board my dog. I could not be happier… They are very communicative and friendly, and my dog comes home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy and well taken care of. She kept us up to date each day with lots of pictures. We could tell that our dogs were happy and content. We will definitely be using Sarah again!!!”
“Rachel & her family are so sweet & will go above & beyond to care for your furbaby. My Bernese Mt Dog puppy was happy with her stay for 7nightd & got plenty of care, attention, play time & walks. We're very grateful to find the perfect petsitter!.”
“We are so pleased we found Julie! She was so consistent with communicating and sending photos. Our girl had so much fun with her dogs (and even seemed to get along with the cat!). Needless to say, Lady come home exhausted! :)”
“Sailesh was fantastic with our Annie. I'd never left her with anyone and was a little nervous. Everything was perfect, and I loved getting updates and pictures each day.”

“Jessica and David took great care of Mocha. They communicated well, sent us lovely photos of our pooch during her stay, and treated her to a walk, car ride and pup cup. They are true dog people! Absolutely would book them again.”
“Highly recommend Kristen and Kenneth, Mac loves to visit and is well taken care of everytime! He has a best buddy with Zeke and it is a blessing to know they treat him like he's part of their family when he visits ❤️❤️”
“I came to meet Melissa about a week before the sit and my dog Lila felt comfortable with Melissa and her black lab who was all about fetching a ball. The location is perfect next to a wooded area with a spacious back yard. I very much appreciated Melissa comforting Lila when I was leaving because she gets anxious when being separated from her close family. She was a happy girl when I came to pick her up! I’ll definitely use Melissa’s service for future times when I’m traveling.”
“Emily was great! She had excellent communication throughout Ziggy’s stay and was super flexible with pickup and drop-off, which we really appreciated. Ziggy was so clearly comfortable and at home there (when we picked him up we honestly didn’t think he was ready to leave! It was such a relief knowing he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Emily again!”
“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”
“Karen, Our dog loves staying with Karen and can't wait for her to open her front door to greet him! He is well taken care of when he stays with her. He loves her fenced in backyard and time spent sitting with her. Karen does a great job of sharing pictures and giving us an update on how he is doing.”
“Mallory was an amazing Rover! She sent plenty of updates, cute photos, and videos of Ruby during her stay! Ruby stayed there from Thursday night to Sunday afternoon and had a great time! We will for sure be using her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Max 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 Max.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Max 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.
