“Where do we even start? The experience with Brooke was nothing short of amazing. Our Golden Retriever had a terrible time at a kennel in the past, which he clearly did not enjoy. For our next vacation, we chose Brooke and Bryan, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They sent us daily updates complete with photos, were highly responsive during the booking process, and, most importantly, it was evident that our dog was well looked after. He returned home clean, calm, and even seemed a bit disappointed to leave! We can't recommend Brooke and Bryan highly enough.”
“Bobbie, her mom and grand daughter were truly amazing!!! Pepper really enjoyed himself with their dog Joey. As an added bonus Bobbie gave Pepper a bath. I will surly use them again the next tie I travel to Indy!!!”
“Bennie had an amazing time with Candie and Axel. It’s all he’s talked about since we picked him up. He talked about the walks, the wrestling, the cuddling, and so much more. He is just going on and on about them both. Bennie highly recommends Candie and Axel. He would have typed this himself except he, well you know…doesn’t have thumbs and kept dropping the phone. Candie has a great backyard and sent us lots of pics, which I really appreciate.”
“This is the first time I have left my dog with anyone outside of family and I could not be happier with our choice of a caregiver. Nancy and her husband were so good with our dog and I’m sure she was spoiled the whole weekend! I definitely recommend and would use again!”
“Paige was wonderful with Max and so sweet! We loved seeing daily pictures of him being part of the family just like at home. We will definitely check with Paige next time we travel! ❤️”
“I had travel plans all squared away and our usual sitter had an emergency and couldnt take care of our dog. Tammy was so fast in responding and took great care of our little one. I will definitly request Tammy's services for my next boarding. She is courteous, responsive and accomidating, and gets a five stars from me.”
“This was our first time using Amy; we went on a short overnight trip. Amy gave us three updates in the time we were away. She also responded quickly when I let her know we were unexpectedly able to pick Zetta up a couple hours earlier than planned. Zetta seemed happy and Amy and her son Eli both seemed taken with her - and Zetta seemed comfortable with them. Amy also seemed conscientious about following the written instructions I’d left for her re: Zetta’s exercise limitations and medication.”
“Gerard was extremely friendly and great with Ralphie. I hope he will be able to watch Ralphie again for me in the future. I would recommend Gerard to all my family and friends. Thank you so much for taking good care of Ralphie for me.”
“Mallory was an amazing Rover! She sent plenty of updates, cute photos, and videos of Ruby during her stay! Ruby stayed there from Thursday night to Sunday afternoon and had a great time! We will for sure be using her again in the future!”
“I am so happy that I found Deborah & Jeffrey to board our pups for 10 days. We had a last minute issue with our parents watching them so Deborah & Jeffrey had no issue with taking them in & giving them a very well loved experience. My pups felt very comfortable with them and their pets, also I received updates on their stay with pics which was very comforting to me. I will definitely use them again for future stays 😊”
“This is the second year I have used Samantha to watch Nala. Nala seems to have a good time running and playing. I will continue to use her because I know my dog is in good hands.”
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of our Irish-doodle, Fitz. She was great about communicating and sending pictures. Her home was very clean and they have a very large fenced in back yard. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
About: I grew up with pets, and love being around pups! I don’t have any of my own and for that reason, getting to take care of your pup is a true joy for me. I love hearing even the smallest details about your beloved pet so that I can give them as much care as you do! I’m a stay-at-home mom with daily availability to make house visits or go on walks. My teen sons also enjoy pet sitting/ dog walking and may accompany me at times. I strive to give them the same love and care you do! I am a detailed oriented person who you can be confident will attempt to hear and follow all of your instructions, making sure your pet is in good hands! I want to give you and your pet the highest care and respect possible. Pet parents know all the individual qualities about their pet— what they like to do, what scares them, what will help them get in and out of the house, etc. Those are the things I appreciate knowing.
“I am delighted to have entrusted my dog to Ms. Karen. He thoroughly enjoyed his time, evident from the photos she kindly shared. Ms. Karen provided excellent care, and I would certainly choose her services again. Grateful for your attention, Ms. Karen!”
“Precious did a great job keeping me informed about how Rico was doing. Such a pleasure to know all is well! Very kind and accommodating with great communication.”
“I can't recommend Christina highly enough as a dog sitter! She has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Chloe. From the moment I first left Chloe in her care, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. She is my sitter of choice; I will only turn to someone else if she is ever unavailable. Christina goes above and beyond to ensure Chloe is happy and well taken care of. She sends plenty of pictures, which always brighten my day and keep me informed about how Chloe is doing. It’s clear that she truly cares for my dog as if she were her own. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter, Christina is the perfect choice. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I know Chloe loves her too!”
“Alexis was fantastic with Bentley! He can be anxious when away from home, but he always seemed relaxed and happy in the daily updates I would get. He even let Alexis trim his nails, which he seldom does with anyone!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
