“Chelsea did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. We also appreciated her quick communication and willingness to watch our dog as a last minute booking and to add on a day when we wanted to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”
“This was our first Rover experience and Becky did a great job keeping us up-to-date with how our dog was doing. There was lots of play time mixed with just hangin’ out. I appreciated not having our dog come home smelling like a kennel (which we have experienced with big boarding facilities) and the fact that someone is monitoring how she is doing. Thanks, Becky!”
“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!”
“Mary Jane is the best! She took great care of Toby and sent me updates with photos each day. It put my heart at ease knowing my dog was relaxed, having fun, and well taken care of. I will absolutely utilize her as my care taker for Toby when needed moving forward!”
“Rubal took great care of our elderly dog! She treated him the way he needed to be treated: extra gentle care and attended to all of his needs including giving him extra attention. She was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures each day. She is easy going and creates a calm, relaxing environment. It is obvious she loves animals and is flexible to their needs. We will definitely will use Rubal services again and I highly recommend her!”
“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 so wonderful to our 2 yard old Golden Doodle! Her house is a friendly place and the whole family loves dogs. Stacy sent us plenty of updates throughout the days she cared for Kaia in her home of both dogs playing, sleeping, and eating. Let Stacy be your dog’s home away from home!”
“Nicole and her family were an amazing fit. For caring for so many dogs they had them well organized and in clean quarters. They provided wonderful love and attention and new exactly what to look for forheat exhaustion, which my English bulldog is prone to. We will definitely leave our doggies with them again.”
“Tracy was amazing with our senior dog, Fezzick! He wasn’t used to being away from us so I was hesitant to leave him with anyone. Tracy updated us regularly and provided lots of pics which helped ease our anxiousness. She helped Fezzick during his time away from us and helped ease his anxiety too. I won’t hesitate to book Tracy for Fezzick’s next stay. Plus, she and her husband were super friendly!”
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She was so sweet and kept me updated the entire time with tons of pictures and messages. Cooper had an absolute blast at her house, especially playing with her dog. It made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hands down my favorite Rover person for my dog ever!! She followed all the instructions I left and my dog loved playing with her dogs. She was great about sending updates and he always looked so happy and content. Brianna went above and beyond, by letting my dog sleep next to her at night in her bed to feeding him by hand his food. Very easy to communicate with and will use her again, as I can tell my dog loved spending time with her and her dogs.”
About: I had a small dog growing up, I lived with my roommates small dog for a year, and I pet sit (overnight at my house) for my friend’s Yorkie often. I am an active walker and have a yard. I live alone with no kids or other pets. I am looking to bring some reliability and loving care for your pet! I work full time Monday-Friday 15 minutes from my home, so I can come home during my lunch hour, but I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays usually. I am available for daily walks after 5pm, sitting/boarding Thursdays-Sundays. I have a clean and pet friendly 3 bedroom home and neighborhood. I have a backyard and walk daily. I can crate if needed. I will take care of all needs instructed by owners.
“Tawny has been so great! We have boarded with her three times now and she has been my first choice any time we need! Great communication, sends pics, loves our dog and integrates him into her schedule/family while he is there. He loves being there. She has been so flexible and accommodating with pick ups and schedules. Definitely recommend her!”
“Wonderfully patient with my cat, Charlie, who needed time to adjust to their cat and dog. After spending some solo time with our Charlie in closed off parts of the house, Charlie voluntarily entered the rest of the house, accepting of her new friends! I appreciated Matthew and Ellie taking the required time and care to make the adjustment go well. Will definitely consider using them again.”
“Would definitely use her again. Our dog was well taken care of the entire time we were gone. We got pictures and updates while we were gone. The most important thing was we returned to a happy pup. I would definitely recommend using Janet.”
“Cole was really great with our dog during his stay! He sent regular check ins and pictures. It really gave me peace of mind knowing he was taking such good care of my dog during his stay! I appreciate how he did my dogs favorite activities with him while I was away and spent a lot of time with him. I will definitely be using Cole for any future boarding!”
“Truly would give 10 stars! Amanda was awesome. This is the first time I’ve used this app and must admit I had my reservations about leaving our dog with a stranger. Our pup seemed comfortable and loved her entire stay. After this experience we will definitely be using the app and Amanda 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 Wakeland 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 Wakeland.
<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 Wakeland 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.
