“Samantha was the best dog border we've ever had! Our dog is 16 years old and has a few special needs. Samantha managed his care SO well! We were gone for 12 days, and each day Samantha sent us pics and videos! We could see that he was not only well-cared for, but also happy. Our dog took to Samantha, her family, and her dog so well, we thought he might not want to come home again. Thankfully, he was happy to come home. :-) We hope to ask Samantha to care for him again when we travel.”
“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!”
“We had such a wonderful experience Lynna. She took such great care of our Bella and treated her like her own. She kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient and caring—even hand-fed our little one when needed! Her two dogs were also so sweet and well-behaved, and they got along wonderfully. She even went the extra mile and did a little photoshoot for our pup, which was absolutely adorable! 🥰📸 We truly appreciate all the love, attention, and care she gave our dog. We would definitely recommend Lynna and would happily book with her again! ❤️🐾”
“Thank you so much for watching Jett!! We are so thankful you were able to be flexible with our crazy schedule! Jett loves getting to go to the park & play with his buddy ❤️”
“She was great with Leo. Sent great photos of Leo having fun with others. And so communicative and very friendly. Will book everytime we’re in town and highly recommend her services! 🤎”
“Amy has a beautiful home where she watched our dog for a week while we were out of town. Our dog can sometimes be timid of new places/faces, but not with Amy. She took great care of him and we saw this in the photo updates she shared. She works from home so your dog almost always has someone to keep them company. We can’t thank Amy enough. Absolutely, we plan to use her again. (This was our second time using her)”
“Kristen was great in accommodating our immediate request. She gave us updates/sent pictures. Cody came home happy and obviously excited to see us again. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Ashley was exceptional. She recently watched our 2 dogs and one of them had a medical issue while she was with Ashley. Ashley knew exactly what to do and got the issue resolved before we even returned. I was so impressed. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashley to anyone that I know and because she took such awesome care of our girls, she will definitely be our first choice the next time our dogs need a sitter. 5 stars PLUS!”
“Richard was an amazing sitter for our dog, Olive! He provided updates and photos throughout the stay and gave our dog a report card to summarize the visit. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Aricel provided excellent care for our 15 year old dog who has some anxiety issues. She sent pictures daily and kept us posted on how our dog was doing. We will definitely use Aricel’s services again the next time we travel.”
“Shalissa and her family were wonderful during Lucy's stay! Lucy was clearly was enjoying herself 🙂 They have a terrific home, an awesome fenced in back yard, and everyone was so friendly. Shalissa's communication was great and she was very accommodating when we were running a bit late for pickup. We appreciate her a lot and will definitely look forward to Lucy staying with them again in the future!”
“I wish I could give 10 stars. Blake and the family took good care of our little Shitzu for almost 20 days, what a lovely family and perfect place for our little pet to stay. Hope to always have them around in any future need.”
“Ash and her husband were so welcoming and sweet to our dog! She offers excellent communication with pictures daily and was very responsive to any of our needs. I would highly recommend their service and will absolutely use them again in the future!”
“Nikki T was fabulous. Remi does not like to be without his family. Nikki had no problems in making Remi comfortable in her home. Great experience for Remi and our family. Would return to, and recommend Nikki T.”
“Karen and Caitlin were greT. The communication was easy and they gave great updates of my pup letting me know how she was doing. This was my first time using rover and I will definitely be looking to book them again when my dog needs to be boarded!”
“Kristan is amazing! Our pup loved staying with her and enjoyed the backyard. She sent regular updates and pics, and our pup didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend Kristan - especially for long trips.”
“Amy provided great care and attention to Bailey. I received daily updates and photos on her activities. I would highly recommend Amy for Boarding. I will schedule Amy on future boarding services.”
“If I could leave more stars I would. Stephanie went above and beyond with Josie. She has separation anxiety and rarely is away from me. Stephanie’s caring, patience, and love she showed Josie made a world of difference. She truly cares for the dogs she watches as if they are her own. She kept me updated with texts, sent pictures, and videos. I can’t explain how much I appreciate Stephanie (and her whole family) for taking such good care of Josie!”

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 Strawtown 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 Strawtown.
<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 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 , 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.
