“Theo loved staying with Allison & Nicholas. He’s a very social dog, and they had lots of play companions for him! Theo was taken care of very well and I will definitely use them again when I need a sitter!”
“We left our two girls with Jennifer over a weekend for a wedding we had to attend out of town. The girls were well taken care of, and had a blast with Jennifer! She sent frequent updates with photos, and was great in communicating before and during our reservation for overnight care. Our girls stayed in her home and were treated like family. Her place was well-equipped for the dogs. Would highly recommend to any pet parent in Fort Wayne!”
“She is great and has a passion for pets! She is very accommodating in your travel times and tries to make it easy on pick up and drop off. Super professional and your pet will have the best time!!! Highly recommend!”
“Heather is very experienced with dogs and is careful to not board dogs that won’t get along well with other dogs. Messages are promptly answered and she sent us pictures to reassure us that Pepper was adjusting well to her stay. 🥰 We would be happy to book with Heather again!”
“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“Every time our dogs stay with Kristen and her family they leave happy and healthy - we know they LOVE getting to spend time with Kristen, her family, her pets, and the other Rover doggos (new friends!). Kristen is also so lovely to work with - we’re so grateful for the ways she cares for our pups like they are her own!”
“Wai was amazing! She took a lot of care to ask lots of questions to best accommodate our dog, sent us daily updates and photos, and far exceeded what was expected! I will be using her from now on”
“Anne truly cares about the pets that stay with her. She provided frequent updates and sent lots of photos, which I really appreciated as it was my first time leaving Winona overnight. I would highly recommend Anne to any person in need of a pet sitter!!”
“I had a great experience with this dog sitter. He was very kind and accommodating, especially since my booking was very last minute. He still made the time to come get and take care of my dog, which I really appreciated. He also sent me pictures while she was with him, which reassured me that she was safe and doing well. This was my first time being away from my dog, so I was a little nervous, but he made the experience much easier and more comfortable for me. It was such a relief to know she was safe and even having fun. Overall, the service was excellent and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet.”
“Pen had the most wonderful two and a half weeks with Rebecca. He loves her so much I plan to set up some daycare visits just so he can spend time with his best pal. They went in walks and snuggled on the couch, she gave him lots of love and attention, he was always happy and well cared for. She sent updates and pictures every day so I could feel confident he was relaxed and happy. He even made friends with the people in her neighborhood! He’s a social butterfly and she knew I was okay with him saying hello. This was my first time leaving him for a long vacation and I was really nervous about how successful he would be, but he had the most wonderful time with Rebecca and I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing how happy my guy was.”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“Mindi did a great job. Gizmo needed extra care due to his age she handled it like a pro! Gizmo needed meds and used an inhaler and had an ear infection at the time. I highly recommend Mindi she is very attentive and takes special care when dog sitting!”
“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”
“Joscelyn and Ivan and their 2 sweet kids took great care of our little 8 pound Morkie! You can tell they love dogs and love caring for them. Joscelyn is a great communicator and sent many pictures to keep us updated. We would definitely use them again!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ossian on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 148 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ossian. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Ossian sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ossian landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ossian 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 Ossian.
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.
You and your Ossian 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.
