“Rajesh was great! He was an excellent communicator and kept me updated with lots of pictures and updates on Royce’s activities. I really appreciated being able to see how well Royce was being cared for and how much fun he was having. Royce came home very happy and tired from all the activity! I would definitely recommend Rajesh and would happily book with him again.”
“Dayna was great with Panny and although it was not a great fit for our dog in particular ( she can be a little old and grumpy) I would highly recommend her skills and sweet personality!”
“Julie and her family took incredible of our golden while we were out of the country!! This is our second time leaving Lily with Julie and we definitely will be again in the future. Thank you so much, again, Julie!! :)”
“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.”
“This was our first time trying Rover, or having anyone watch our pup. Karen was quick to respond, friendly, flexible, and did a wonderful job. She was also very reasonably priced! Oscar liked it there so much I don’t think he wanted to leave! She sent us updates, pics, and videos. We already have our next stay for him there planned. Will continue to use so we can visit family in Indy. Thank you Karen!”
“Mallory took good care of Jiggly for a week and shared regular updates with the pics. Jiggly’s vegan food, his playpen accommodations were very well taken care of and he was provided a good play time with Mia. Would definitely be boarding Jiggly with Mallory again in the future”
“Melissa did a fantastic job with Chloe. She went above and beyond when my plans changed. Chloe was very well taken care of & we had no trouble resuming our normal schedule as soon as I returned after a 10 day trip. I received updates via text, photos & movies. I will be using her services again : )”
“Diana & Kevin were great watching our dog Cooper!! Clearly dog savvy people, who understands/respects dogs who tend to be more anxious. Our dog had a great weekend with them, and we would definitely ask for their help again!”
“Jane was an amazing dog sitter for our dog, Olive. Jane's dog, Mandu, was a great playmate for Olive. We received many updates and photos which were much appreciated. :) We will definitely be using Jane again!”
“Kailly is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for someone more caring to watch our dog, Ripley, while we were out of town! Ripley is a rescue and we’ve only had her for a few months. After one bad experience leaving her, we were nervous to go away again. Kailly worked with us to make sure that Ripley felt comfortable, and understood that it may take a few days for her to warm up to being somewhere new. Needless to say, Ripley had a wonderful time away and we had complete peace of mind! Kailly is communicative, loves dogs, has a lovely fenced in yard and a clean home. We are already in talks about the next time she will dogsit for us.”
“Gabriella was amazing with Skylar. From the minute we met at the meet and greet to her 4 night stay with her. Lots of pictures and updates. Skylar was living her best life! Will definitely be using her again! Thank you!!!”
“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.”
“5/5 Stars – Absolutely Exceptional Care! We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care our pets received. From the moment we met, it was clear that pet sitting isn't just a job for them, but a true passion. They went far above and beyond anything we expected. Not only were our pets fed right on schedule, but they also received an immense amount of genuine love and attention. The detailed daily updates, complete with photos and videos, gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. What truly blew us away was their remarkable attention to detail and willingness to step up in a stressful situation. When they noticed our dog had signs of worms, they communicated with us immediately and went to the store to buy new food, making sure it was the right type and that she liked it. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and truly dedicated to your pets' happiness and safety, look no further. We will absolutely be booking them again!”
“Aricel provided excellent care for our 15 year old dog who has some anxiety issues. She sent pictures daily and kept us posted on how our dog was doing. We will definitely use Aricel’s services again the next time we travel.”
“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”
“Bill and his wife are so good with our baby and always send us a daily picture of how he is doing. We are always confident of his safety and happiness while he is there! We have used them several times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“Lynna is an excellent dog sitter. She sent numerous pictures while sitting for my dog Bella. She even sent me a photo shot that she did with Bella. It was just adorable. She suggested a different treat for Bella that she enjoyed. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Lynna.”
“I love Samantha. So does my puppy. What’s not to love? We have had her sit Elvis a few times now and are always so happy about his stay! She sends photos and updated often - and replies fast. Laika (her dog) is Elvis’s new bestie!!! Samantha even bought Elvis more food because he ran out before we even had time to panic!!! She is amazing.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northfield
Dustin was a last minute schedule and he was great to me and my 4 dogs. He kept me up to date with plenty of photos and videos. My mind was at ease during my time away from my dogs whom I tend to worry about when they are not with me. My work trip was very busy and Dustin was always on schedule with dog updates. I never had to send reminders or wondered how my dogs were doing. I will use his services again. Thank you Dustin!

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 Northfield 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 Northfield.
<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 Northfield 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 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.
