“Samantha was great! She took great care of our pup Indie and gave us daily updates on how she was doing. Our flights were at crazy times, so she even went above and beyond by picking up and dropping her off at our house for us. I would highly recommend.”
“Josh was super great at communicating with us and really flexible with pick up/drop off when we needed to make changes. Our dog Walter was very well taken care of and we would absolutely recommend Josh as a pet sitter!”
“Jennifer was very attentive and accommodating to ensure my anxious dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. I received photos often which showed my girl going for walks, snuggling on the couch, and enjoying the backyard.”
“Brendan did amazing with our puppy! We had never left her overnight before and she was well taken care of. Brendan sent us lots of updates and I felt very comfortable leaving her with him. Duke was also a great host and playmate. Would absolutely book with him again!”
“We felt so comfortable after leaving our golden with Julie!! She sent us updates and photos all the time, and we could tell right away her dogs and our dog would get along perfectly. Her animals are so sweet and so is Julie! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you to you and your family for taking such incredible care of our girl!!”
“Wrigley always enjoys his time with Nancy. We enjoy the pics and videos that Nancy shares while we are away from our pup. We always know that Wrigley is in good hands with Nancy and we don't have to worry about him!”
“We had never used rover before, or left our pug at all due to being anxious to be away from him and not knowing if he was being taken care of. Gabriel and Leandro kept us updated with videos and pictures of him the entire weekend and did such a great job caring for him. We would recommend to anyone and will definitely use them again when we’re back in the area! Thank you guys so much!”
“Yelena is awesome! She sends more pictures and videos than any sitter I’ve ever had. It’s so nice to see the dogs happy and playing. I am a repeat customer and will continue to use her when ever we need a sitter.”
“We recently booked Adrienne for an overnight for our pup Bear. It's always a little scary making a booking in a different city because you don't really have luxury of a meet and greet. I carefully screened potential candidates and settled on Adrienne as a good fit for Bear based on her profile and reviews. We were extremely pleased with Adrienne! Bear always shows a lot through his body language and he was very comfortable with Adrienne right out of the gate! I told her she's a dog whisperer! The care and love she showed for Bear was and is very appreciated. We hope to travel back to the Indianapolis area in the not too distant future and will definitely try to book Adrienne again. We highly recommend her and most importantly, Bear does too!”
“Jonathan was amazing! Our dog is young and very high energy and I felt safe leaving her with a very capable sitter and dog trainer! Also he sent videos and updates and she loved it there! Thank you JC, for taking such good care of our baby girl! We will definitely book again!”
“Heather was great! She kept us updated on how the dogs were doing throughout the stay and went above and beyond to accommodate our dog with a limb difference! We would recommend her to our friends/family.”
“They took great care of my pet for two weeks including consistent and timely communication! They were kind and flexible to accommodate an additional night, as our flight back to the US was delayed and we could now pick our doggy as planned. Highly recommend them!”
“Tammy was amazing! As soon as I met her, it was clear she is a dog lover. I was very comfortable leaving Furby with her. She sent me lots of pics and a video. She assured me he was being well taken care of. I’m confident Furby received a lot of love. I would highly recommend Tammy and I will definitely book with her again. Thanks Tammy!”
“Amy & Calab and the family are the best dog sitters. You can 100% trust them. They sent us al ot of pictures, and I could see on my dog's face and in their behavior that they were truly happy.”
“Cannot say enough kind things about Mary and her husband Jack! Feel like Zeus is going to Family when they watch him. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy when I pick him up. It’s a vacation for Zeus when he comes. So grateful to have them, Mary is awesome, love her to pieces”
“Jacklyn was incredible. She was kind, patient, and loving to our sweet old boy, Poppy. We got lots of updates and pictures showing Poppy having the best time. 1000/10 would book with Jacklyn again. 😍”
“Megan will always be Charlie’s sitter if she is available. She took such good care of him when we were away for a week. She sent photos each day, followed all instructions, and loved him like her very own. Her adorable fur babies were welcoming as well. It was the best experience I’ve had with a sitter on Rover! I was able to enjoy time away without any concerns about Charlie’s well-being.”
“My dog had lots of fun and seemed to be well taken care of. She had friends to play with, and was pretty sad when we left! You could just tell she wasn't ready to leave. I got nightly updates and they handled her very well.”
“My dog could not have had a more perfect dog sitter. Heidi snuggled her and made her feel safe and comfortable. It was evident in all the pictures and updates Heidi sent. I don't think my velcro dog even noticed my absence and that's saying a lot. This was the first time anyone has watched my dog and I would trust Heidi with her anytime!”
“Poppy had a wonderful time with Kristen, full of puppy snuggles. He came home very calm and relaxed which is the absolute ideal for a pup with anxiety. 10/10 would use Kristen again.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Strawtown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Strawtown 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 Strawtown.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Strawtown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Strawtown 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
