“I was nervous about contacting a new sitter as my dog is very special in all of the best ways. But Azure was wonderful & my dog is still sleeping off all of the fun he had the 10 days he was with her. S/o to Rufus, the dog she brought over to keep my dog Apollo company, I think he found a new bestie. Highly recommended her as a sitter!!!”
“Natalie is wonderful!!! My vacation was so much better knowing that my baby was in such good hands. Natalie took great care of Sully, and she sent pictures every day, letting me know how things were going. He looked like he was having a great time! Natalie even gave me a tip for handling one of his annoying behaviors. She's a great caregiver, and I highly recommend.”
“They took great care of my boy. They only sent one or two photos a day; our other sitters spoiled us with photos, but he was in great hands.”
“Heather was kind as was her family. Our dog had a great time with Heather and another house guest dog. He slept like a baby when he got home as he was worn out from all the fun!”
“They took such great care of our dog (Bear)! They took him for walks and took lots of pictures of him having fun with the other dogs and feeling right at home! I knew he was in good hands, and they will be keeping him again!”
“Lyndsey took such amazing care of Blue! I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless experience. Lyndsey gave so many great updates of Blue having the time of his life. Would highly recommend Lyndsey to take care of your dog”
“Henry had a great time playing in the pool and with the other pups who were visiting Anne. He came home tired and happy. Anne was so helpful in being flexible with my schedule while my husband was in the hospital.”
“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job providing loving care to my Shih Tzu. She sent to me daily updates and photos; it was so reassuring to know my pup was in the hands of an attentive caregiver.”
“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.”
“April and her kids were great with Whiskey. He got plays with his favorite tug toy, and a nice walk. It was only for one night but she kept me updated with pictures and messages. I appreciated all of the updates. He came home exhausted and slept soundly the entire day.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kristen was awesome! She watched our little guy at her house while we were on vacation and was so good about giving updates with pictures and all! Both her and her kids are wonderful and I truly felt like our pup was loved like we do while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”
“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”
“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”
“Jett’s home away from home! We love being able to drop Jett off and know he’ll be well taken care of! We really enjoy all the pictures, videos and updates each day!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
