“Lyndsey was so great to work with, couldn’t feel better about leaving Beau with her and her family. She’s so kind and very responsive, I would leave Beau there again in a heartbeat.”
“Hannah was amazing . Valarie was very calm coming home and not anxious at all . She responded amazingly with text and pictures . She was flexible with our schedule and just a great first experience with a dog sitter overall.”
“Heather was kind as was her family. Our dog had a great time with Heather and another house guest dog. He slept like a baby when he got home as he was worn out from all the fun!”
“OMG! Kristen was so good with our dogs! This was the first time we used a sitter instead of a kennel. I’m so glad we did! The pups are happy and well cared for. I’ve already booked Kristen for two major trips next year! She’s awesome!”
“Anne did a wonderful job taking care of my little dog. She was extremely responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her.”
“Alicia and her husband were excellent dog sitters. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with them. They updated us daily with pictures. The dogs looked happy staying there. This was the first time leaving them and the first time we met them at a meet and greet we knew they were the ones to watch our doggies. We will definitely use them again. Thank you so much Alicia for taking wonderful care of our doggies! We appreciate you both! You both are very kind!”
“My pup slept all night after I got her back so I know she had fun playing with the other pups. Good contact during the stay with photos. Happy with my visit and last minute availability.”
“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”
“Millie and her family took excellent care of our dog while we were on vacation. They communicated regularly with daily updates and pictures. We sent written instructions and they were able to accommodate special feeding needs for our pup. We especially appreciated the individual attention Millie gave our dog since she only takes one booking at a time. Highly recommend and will not hesitate to rebook!”
“Kristin and Spencer were very kind, quick to communicate and understanding. Our home had a plumbing issue leading to tons of water damage so we had to find someone very last minute to help us watch our dog during mitigation. Kristin and Spencer accepted our request right away helping us during a very hard time. Upon Mooses stay they sent us pictures, had daily communication with us and gave our sweet boy a safe place to stay. 10/10 would send moose back to stay with them♡”
About: I grew up on a small farm with a bunch of different animals, and I'm always up for a challenge. I've had a soft spot for dogs, and I've learned to care for them with a patient, gentle touch. I've worked with rescues, seniors, and puppies and, I'm happy to learn each dog's routines, ease their anxiety, help them eat, or keep up their training. I'm also comfortable administering medications and bathing animals. I know how hard it is to find the right sitter. I struggled with it myself back when I had my rescue dogs. I want to be the person who shows up, respects their boundaries and routines, and gives the dog the best chance to be happy and comfortable while in my care! I work from home, with a flexible schedule, so I'm pretty open when it comes to walks, daycare, boarding, or house sitting. I'm happy to board at my home, I just ask that I've met your dog beforehand and that they're potty trained. I don't currently have any pets in my home, which makes for a good fit for dogs who need to be the only animal or just do better on their own. I do have a small fenced area in the backyard where they can be off leash as well. I'm very detail-oriented, and am good at figuring out what each dog needs to feel secure in a new environment. I'll always do my best to follow the guidelines you've already set for your animal, and I'll keep you updated along the way so you know how they're doing.
“Joscelyn was amazing with my pup. I had my original sitter drop out the day of. She accepted my request very last minute! She is great with communication. Everytime I visit my hometown I will def contact her!”
“Amara was great with Winston and Angel. She sent picture updates daily so we knew they were well taken care of. She is so kind and caring. We will definitely book again with her!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Makayla! She accommodated us from beginning to end. She was so prompt to reply and extremely thoughtful with pictures while we were away. We feel so lucky to have found her ☺️”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them! I have experience caring for my own Goldendoodle, Ruger, and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. I currently work night shifts, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m home during the day and can be flexible with drop-offs, pick-ups, and care routines. I live in an apartment with several walking trails right in my backyard, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air, and exploring! In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, bathroom, and exercise routines so they feel right at home.
“I definitely recommend Kayla, she took care of my labrador puppy Arya for 4 nights. When I brought Arya she did not walk with her leash because she did not want to and when I went to look for her Kayla had taught her. Kayla take care of her with a lot of love, teach her new things, trained Arya and help her share with other dogs and cats. I am very satisfied and happy to be able to entrust the care of my baby Arya to such a committed person. Arya was really happy and have a great time, Kayla even give her new toys!!”
About: I have an overflowing love for all fur babies, so caring for your pets will bring joy to my life and help you out at the same time! In college, I worked at a dog kennel and daycare and learned a lot about caring for different personalities of dog. Growing up, we had a German Shepard. I now have a 3 year old golden retreiver who i raised from a puppy and trained myself. She is very friendly and playful, gets along with every kind of dog and person. I also have 2 cats who are siblings and just great snuggles and so playful. I have a decent sized house and a half acre fenced yard, which is quiet and out of the city (though close to the small town with plenty of sidewalks for walks). I currently work from home on Wednesdays. Weekends are a but more unpredictable but when I am home is the only time I'll mark available. Mondays, tuesday, Thursdays, and fridays I work 8am-5pm. On my work days I am still happy to take overnight guests or stop for a walk or check in after work, during lunch, or before work. I have plenty of space for them to run around. I have a submissive and playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate them if you desire, and there is enough room in my house to separate them from my animals if needed.
About: To connect with your pet(s) on a super fun level and to really show them just how much we really do love and appreciate them! During the day 11 am to 2 pm At night 6 pm to 10 pm I would walk your pet around if needed but if the weather is appropriate. Being able to follow detailed instructions. I am consistent with the time I suppose to allow them to run and playing with them outside. I enjoy discovering new traits about pets.

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.
97% of sitters in Tunker 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 Tunker 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 Tunker.
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 Tunker. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Tunker 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.
