“Destinee was great! She communicated well and kept us updated with pictures. Kenai had a great time over there and got along with their dogs as well! Would 100% book again and recommend other to also.”
“My dog is usually very shy and quiet. She bonded with this family and especially liked the daughter. I received pictures and updates. Very caring family. I highly recommend their services.”
“Stacy was wonderful with our dog Cali and we could tell when we picked her up, she had had a great time! Stacy was very communicative and sent us daily pictures, which made our time away from Cali a little easier. We are so thankful to Stacy and we would highly recommend her for your fur baby :)”
“Kamela was an amazing choice for us, and the right one! She was able to accommodate our schedule with a same-day request 😱. She was VERY communicative and provide pictures, videos and updates which gave us great peace of mind that our dog was in great hands! Thoroughly pleased.”
“William and his wife were incredible. Super nice humans and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They even let us have a little later pick up time due to an unfortunate circumstance with our flight canceling. Highly recommend!”
“Julie did a great job watching Roxy for us! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was happy and being well cared for, she provided daily updates with pictures, will definitely use her again.”
“Bowen was communicative and very reliable. My dog has behavioral issues (severe separation anxiety and reactivity) and I’m hesitant to send him off, but Bowen made me feel very comfortable. Bowen even provided me extensive information around how I could help his anxiety as we continue training. He was extremely happy and showed no signs of stress (he typically does) when he returned to me. I will definitely use Bowen again and would highly recommend!”
“Parker enjoyed his stay with Christopher! We received photos throughout the week. When we picked Parker up he was doing very well. Christopher is recommended!”
“They are amazing people, they took the best care of Flocky… amazing communication. Highly recommend them. December I will need boarding Flocky again and for sure they are my first option !”
“Bayley was absolutely wonderful with our dog Koda! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and sent us lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is clearly experienced and comfortable with big dogs, and we really appreciated how compassionate, patient, and kind she was with our pup. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. We would absolutely recommend Bayley and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Isabela and I love animals. I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and caring environment where every pet feels comfortable and at home. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I am available during the day and can provide pets with attention, playtime, companionship, and regular potty breaks. I will do my best to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you are away. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and special needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and make sure they have fresh water, a comfortable space, and plenty of care and attention throughout the day.
“We were blessed to find Victoria and her sweet family to love our two furry girls while we were away for a whole week. Leaving them with someone I did not know was very stressful. She settled my fears by staying in touch daily and sending pictures. When we picked them up, I could completely see the girls had been loved dearly while I was away. I will absolutely call on Victoria if we need a sitter in the future. XOXO”
“Sara was very thoughtful and communicated during our Doberman’s stay and sent amazing photos. She made both drop off and pick up seamless as well. Looking forward to booking again with Sara in the future!”
“Marilyn was fantastic! This was our first trip without my 8 month old puppy for the weekend and I felt like she was in really great hands! Marilyn was friendly and easy to work with. I was able to stop by and meet her a week or so before to make sure it would be a good fit for my dog. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Remmy had a great time playing with her dogs and enjoying her backyard. It's nice to be confident she is being well taken care of when I'm out of town. Would definitely recommend Marilyn and will book again for future trips.”
“Jill and her family were absolutely wonderful and treated my dogs just like part of the family while we were away on vacation. They sent regular updates regularly and absolutely the cutest photos! Thanks so much!!”
“My maltese dog Roméo have been with Kayley for 6 days, when I had to pick him up, Romeo was like so relieved to have been on vacation. She took great care of him and even gave me some tips for Romeo's needs. I highly recommend her if you want your dog to feel like home while you're away. It's plain to see, it was such a great experience for Romeo spending some days at her place. Thank you so much Kayley!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for them! With 4 years of pet care experience, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your fur babies. I’m a firm believer that pets are family, and they deserve just as much love, patience, and attention as anyone else. As a mom of two, I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your loved ones are in good hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I’d want for my own! I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I love animals and enjoy having them around throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure your fur baby is comfortable and well cared for. I also understand the importance of maintaining a routine and will do my best to stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to! I live in a comfortable apartment with plenty of room for pets to relax and feel at home! Although I don’t have a fenced backyard, dogs will be taken outside regularly for walks and potty breaks. Pets are welcome to get comfortable on the furniture, as long as that’s something their owners allow. Safety is extremely important to me, especially since I have children. I believe in respecting each animal’s boundaries, supervising interactions, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some animals, so I’ll do everything I can to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southport
Travis & Alanah were so great! Very helpful making sure that it would be a good fit for the pups and flexible on drop offs. While we were gone we received daily pictures and updates and able to fully enjoy our vacation. Pups were clean and happy on pick up. Would definitely trust again. Thanks so much!
Things went great during my fur baby's stay. It was less than a 28 hour stay but Dorian sent an update and plenty of photos so I didn't have to worry.about how my girl was doing. Her home is well set up for pets with a decent yard that is fenced in and her personal dogs are friendly which I am sure makes any visiting pet more at ease with adjusting. I would not hesitate to request another booking with Dorian.
Savanna was a life saver over the holiday. We contacted her very last minute. Not only did she happily help us, but she took the best care of our fur baby. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the stay, and the communication could not have been better. We will definitely be using her 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 Southport 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 Southport.
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 Southport 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.
