We are so thankful for Mary and Marty! Mary was always so responsive and both took such good care of our sweet Luna! We were nervous leaving our anxious gal for the first time and they made us feel such at ease and comfortable leaving her in their care. Would highly recommend!!

Meredith was just amazing. She handled my crazy dog along with her family and dogs like a champ. My pup seemed to greatly enjoy herself. Along with a happy pup, my dog came home with a few more manners. We will use her in the future for sure. 😊

Janis and Devin were amazing with my dog Jellybean. She still has so much puppy energy in her and is a handful. They sent pictures of Jelly looking very happy and comfortable in their home. Jelly had a great time at her overnight with Janis and we can’t wait to bring her back. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Jordan watched my 90 pound bully for a week while I was on vacation. She is very organized and great with communication. She provided me daily updates along with pictures. My dog was very happy to be in a home environment similar to what he is used to with a fenced yards and kids. She gave him plenty of attention and he did so well while there. I appreciate her taking such good care of him and I would definitely rebook in the future. Thank you so much Jordan!!

Shawne and her husband were very welcoming and ready for the dogs upon arrival. They were receptive to the dogs' routines and ready with kennels. They have outdoor space and live in a nice neighborhood. Shawne was really great at keeping us updated with texts and pictures. The boys were happy and had so much fun that they were exhausted when we got them back from all of the fun activities.

This is my first time using Rover or any pet service. We met Cathy with my dog Jenni ahead of her stay-over which made it a familiar experience when she went for boarding. Cathy is very caring and great with animals and I have already scheduled another stay for my dog with her for a work trip. Thank you!

We went on a week long vacation with our dog in April’s care. We always knew our pet was cared for and loved. April did an excellent job updating us with pics and status updates. I’m pretty sure our dog had a better time than we did! We will 100% have April watch our pet next time!

Laura took the best care of our 2 small dogs! She was flexible with our drop off /pick up times and sent pics each day. We asked her to keep an extra eye on our tiny escaping puppy, and Laura took extra care with the leash and yard. So comforting to leave the pups knowing they have company and watchful care!

FAQs for Boarding - Valparaiso

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Valparaiso on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 205 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Valparaiso. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

95% of Valparaiso sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Valparaiso landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Valparaiso 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 Valparaiso.

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 Valparaiso 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.
