“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.”
“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! :)”
“Samamtha is just absolutely amazing. Last minute we needed to add another night of stay and she was so awesome about it!!!! She sent me tons of photos and updates and Elvis came home so happy. I would use Samantha a million times again!!! She is the perfect sitter!!! We are very happy.”
“Jane took amazing care of our 10 month old puppy, and her dog was a great playmate. I felt she cared for our pup as if she were her own. Each evening she’d send a detailed update and several photos and even videos of our happy pup. This resulted in the most worry-free arrangement we could have asked for. Great communication, reliable and kind interaction all around. Very grateful and we highly recommend Jane!”
“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.”
“Amy and Caleb T. are a couple of rock stars in the pet care industry. I truly appreciate the clear communication they provided from the beginning. They were able to accommodate my dog and me on short notice. Even on a few days’ notice, we were able to have a quick meet-and-greet, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. I also appreciate the pictures they sent me during my trip, which made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was having a great time with them. I definitely plan to book with them in the future because of their exceptional service. From any concerns they may have had to the fun-loving pictures they sent me, everything was great. Thank you all so much for taking care of my boy.”
“Stephanie and her family were absolutely perfect for Bishop. He was right at home and received so much love and care. We recently stopped boarding our dog due to his anxiety at being left alone in a room. It was so refreshing to take a vacation and not worry about Bishop as he was happy in their home. We’re already thinking about our next trip and booking with Stephanie.”
“We loved having Riley stay with Rachel and her family! We were totally comfortable leaving our girl with them. There was an immediate connection with them and they truly love helping families by providing a very loving atmosphere and space. We will definitely book again!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our pups, and very attentive to giving us updates while we were away. It was very reassuring since we’d had to book at the last minute after we were canceled on.”
“She was great with Leo. Sent great photos of Leo having fun with others. And so communicative and very friendly. Will book everytime we’re in town and highly recommend her services! 🤎”
“This was our second time booking with Jacklyn and we 100/10 recommend her services! Both of our pups (once again) were more than comfortable and loved/cared for. The moment our pups walked through her door again, they were so excited to see her and that is always reassuring. We couldn’t ask for someone better! Her updates were the best and details were always lovely. Thank you again!!”
“Shalissa was wonderful and flexible with me when I had an extenuating circumstance before our boarding. Great with communication and I felt my dog was in competent hands.”
“Brendan was very nice and easy to communicate with. His dog Duke was a sweetheart. We were a little nervous boarding Eddie we had never left him before. We would us Rover and Brendan again.”
“Emily is the Best!! She was an Exceptional care giver for our Jeanie. We felt very comfortable to have Jeanie in her care and would not hesitate to book again!!! Thank You Emily!!!”
“Dayana took excellent care of my dog. Her dog and mine had a great time, and when my dog came home he was so worn out from all the playtime, he could barely keep his eyes open.”
“I think if given the choice Phoenix would live with Sarah and Justin, she loves them to death and we do too! She had the best (almost) two week vacation of her life at their house!”
“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!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northfield
Dustin is a wonderful caretaker. My little Parker, who is my absolute joy, was so taken care of and loved. He is kind of a needy little dog, (chi) and needs a lot of attention and Dustin gave him that, Dustin was so communicative to me throughout my whole travel itinerary, that I felt very in touch with what Parker was doing and how he was responding to a new environment. I know the anxiety one feels when trying a new boarder, and Dustin was so thorough in his vetting and introduction. I knew my pup would be very well taken care of. His sanctuary gives dogs the freedom to roam and explore unleashed. Something my city pup hasn’t experienced before, and my Parker loved it! Dustin allows dogs to be dogs. Doing dog things in a gated area (over an acre) but with care and attentive diligence. I have full confidence and respect for the care he gives to dogs. When a dog person meets another dog person, you just KNOW. ❤️
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!

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 Northfield 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 Northfield 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 Northfield.
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 Northfield. On Rover:
- 89% 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 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 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.
