“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“Stephen & Angela are so wonderful with my dog, Zeke. I do doggy daycare twice a week, and just recently did over a week of dog boarding for my dog while I was on vacation. They are always super responsive, friendly, and my dog looks forward to going to their home. I was very anxious leaving my dog for vacation, but I knew Zeke would be in great care and have a fun vacation of his own. I appreciated the daily photos sent to me, and the thoughtful treat bag when I picked up my boy. They even included human treats!”
“Bill was amazing watching our hound, who can be anxious. He had great communication and sent plenty of pics throughout her stay. She seemed very relaxed when we picked her up! Will be using his services again.”
“Missy was excellent with my girls. She was patient and loving, even during a stressful time. She was very flexible and accommodating with my weird scheduling needs for drop off and pickup as well. I definitely recommend her dog sitting services!”
“Ryo was great with Piper. They provided updates and pictures throughout our trip. I could tell that Piper enjoyed himself as well, upon his return home. I will definitely refer Ryo to other friends and family looking for a sitter.”
“Aspen was a great dog mom for my pups while I was out of town. She communicated clearly about the arrangements and expectations. She made sure the pups were taken care of and they had a blast. Came home worn out from playing. She also provided updates and pics while she was watching them. I would gladly use her again!”
“Dan was amazing. She provided a lot of pictures and videos. My dog had a great time with her and her kids. We will definitely be booking with her for our future trips!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Our Goldendoodles were well taken care of and seemed to have a great time! Lots of pictures and updates so we always knew what was going on. Would definitely leave them here again!”
“Broke was an excellent choice for our stay! She was incredibly communicative, sending us regular pictures and being flexible when we needed to extend our stay. We highly recommend her!”
“Kaitlyn watched our dog for 2 weeks and she was incredibly accomodating and easy to communicate with. She provided us regular updates which made us feel at ease that our pet was being well taken care of. I will definitely look to rebook with her in the future.”
“As always, our little girl loved staying with her doggie friends and Rachel. We were able to enjoy a fall beach trip knowing that she would be well cared for. Rachel supplied us with frequent photos and news about how Bailey was doing. We will be using her again for doggie day care and boarding. She is the best!”
“Jared and Waverly took excellent care of our puppy, Dutton. They sent us several pictures each day and even took him for a walk while we were gone. I definitely recommend Jared and Waverly to anyone who wants peace of mind that their dog is being cared for and loved properly. Thanks again Jared and Waverly!”
About: I have many years of caring for my own cats (Jack & Jill growing up, and my foster cat Bucky now) as well as lots of experience dog-walking and home-sitting throughout college. I absolutely love making new friends with your pets and am happy to provide them less time alone or in their kennels I still have full-time work to accommodate (from 9am-3:30pm), but I work remote and am able to be flexible. I am available most evenings and weekends. Unfortunately my apartment makes me unavailable to provide care for pets away from your home. I look forward to caring for your pets in your yards, neighborhoods, or local dog parks however. I don't object to taking pets for a car ride if they enjoy those as well
“Valerie took great care of my 2 golden boys. I get really anxious leaving them behind, but they seemed like they got tons of exercise (which is a feat for my 1.5 year old) and had lots of fun! Definitely will be using her for any future trips.”
“Sarah, Daniel, and their family took great care of our Winnie. She’s a little high maintenance; needs loads of snuggles and doesn’t do well with other dogs. They played fetch with her and sent pics every day. Winnie seemed really comfortable when we picked her up. I would recommend them for your dog sitting needs and we will definitely contact them again.”
“Amanda is great! My tiny and opinionated dog seems to get along with her dogs, and she's always very communicative and accomodating with drop-off/pick-up times. I know my dog will be well cared for and as unstressed as possible when I'm out of town. Very grateful for Amanda!”
“Robin took very good care of our two dogs during our overnight trip! Fantastic communication and organization and very caring toward our pups! We will certainly hire her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Joseph
This was Tango’s first time with Elizabeth and Josh and it didn’t disappoint. They both are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and spend time assuring all their dogs behave. The home was well organized and very clean. tango loved playing with the other dogs and even got to spend a night with their teenage son. Tango was upset he had to leave. No complaints whatsoever.. we were totally confident Tango was safe ..

I would highly recommend Rachel to take care of your pet. My lab Maddie normally gets anxiety when she is around other dogs or people. Maddie felt right at home at Rachel’s house. I received photos everyday of Maddie and Rachel answered any question I had really quickly. Rachel does an amazing job and I would definitely book again.

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 Saint Joseph 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 Saint Joseph.
<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 Saint Joseph 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.
