“This was first time boarding experience for our dog Rin. She seemed a little nervous at first, but quickly got used to it and was able to spend the three days feeling at ease. She gave us updates frequently so we could spend feeling at ease as well. Thank you so much and we will see you soon for Christmas and new year boarding.”
“Tina did a wonderful job caring for Mackey while I was away for a few days. She loves dogs and looks after everyone’s pup as if they were her own. Mackey loved her walks by the pond and the trips to the dog park, and I loved getting the picture updates of her having fun. I absolutely recommend and will contact Tina again when I’m out of town. Thank you!”
“My dog really enjoyed staying with Lynelle! He was incredibly comfortable from the moment I dropped him off! She updated me with pictures frequently, kept me updated on his eating and sleeping! I was nervous about him being away from me for the first time and she made it so easy. I will absolutely be booking with her again! I’m very particular about who I let watch my animals after being in the pet industry for 10 years…and I can confidently say Lynelle is a rare find!”
“The moment I met Jessica, I knew our 17 1/2 year old senior and our 6 month old large puppy were in good hands. Meeting her for the first time was like seeing a good friend you haven’t seen in a while! She’s a very welcoming and caring person. She took great care of our dogs and they even got to see her goats and chickens for the first time! She also maintained communication and sent photos of our happy dogs on a daily basis. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter that goes the extra mile. I’m looking forward to booking with Jessica again in the future.”
“Highly recommend! Sherri and her family are the nicest 🤩 She took great care of my pup who made herself at home and got along great with their dog. Will definitely book again when we visit!!”
“I’ve used a lot of sitters here on Rover, and Jason is the best by a long shot! His love for animals shows in how well he takes care of them; my anxious girl LOVES Jason and knows she’s going to have a fun day every time she sees him. He’s a great communicator, and will always act in the best interest of your pet. Not to mention, I’ve gotten some of the best quality photos of my pretty girl from Jason!”
“First I want to say thank Okhyungy y for taking care my Coco! Coco is small breed dog, take care her that is not easy.sometimes she eats well but sometimes she doesn’t eat . Okhyungy has taken care of her very well. She has very nice to Coco, that’s why Coco is well up in a new environment. Thanks again Okhyungy! I really appreciate it!”
“Hojoo and her family were so sweet! I am so glad I chose them. Her profile was exactly what I needed for my fur baby for a quick business trip. She treated Tito like family and he didn’t want to leave! So happy to have him make new friends!”
“Marissa and her husband were so great with our high-energy pups! Her dog Dewey is sweet and playful with other dogs, and they came home exhausted. They had a clean, safe home and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our dogs' first stay with anyone new. They were both anxious & kept peeing & pooping in Surama's home because of it, even though she was taking them out very often. Surama was very patient with them & made their stay a good one regardless. We didn't anticipate this issue & felt terrible about her having to deal with cleaning so many messes. I appreciated that she was open & honest about what was happening, while assuring me it was fine & in no way causing us to feel worse about it. She also sent pictures of them playing with her family & other dogs, which my daughter especially appreciated. Surama was so kind & we will definitely use her in the future.😊👍”
“She clearly loves animals and I felt so good leaving Amaya in her care! I appreciated all the updates and fast communication as well. I am hoping to do another trip up there soon, and definitely would leave my dog with her again.”
“Brittany was super nice and took very good care of Dobby for us while we were away. She sent us pics to keep us updated on how he was doing. He was happy to see us when we picked him up, but also tried to go back in with her when we left to go home so I'd say that speaks for itself.”
“Lucas proved to be an excellent choice for keeping my playful dog for a week. He's caring, responsible, friendly and very good at keeping the doggo happy. I was impressed by how good he handled everything, even keeping me updated on how she was with adorable photos. I'll definitely be giving Lucas a shout next time I'm in Decatur with Bosco.”
About: I’ve grown up in a home full of dogs, there’s never been a time we didn’t have at least two. Since I was 10, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their dogs like my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’m especially comfortable caring for older or sick dogs, including giving oral medications and providing gentle, patient support when they need it most. I know how much your dog means to you—because I feel the same way about mine. I’m a student at Purdue University studying food science. However, I have a flexible schedule and lots of free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to give your dog the love and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During drop-in visits or walks, I make sure your dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for in their own familiar space. I follow any instructions you provide closely whether that’s feeding, medications, or routines so your dog stays comfortable and stress-free. I also send photo updates so you can see how your baby is doing while you’re away!
“Leslie was great with my Shih tzu Toby! She is very dependable. She kept close contact with me and gave me updates and pictures of him throughout the weekend. She even gave him an oatmeal bath! Would highly recommend and would have her watch him again!”
“Paul was awesome! Quick to communicate, flexible with timing & knowledgeable about dogs! He made us feel comfortable immediately & sent us updates throughout our trip! We will definitely use him again”
About: I have taken care of dogs since middle school. I love dogs and have two on my own - a Dalmatian and a Basset Hound. My family is very active and we walk the doggies daily! My job is very flexible and I have a lot of extra time during the day to spend time with the doggies! I have had dogs all my life! I love dogs and I spend a lot of time outdoors with the doggies! I make sure the doggies get at least one walk a day but more often than not they get walked twice daily.
About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve personally raised and trained three of my own and love dogs of every breed, size, and personality. I’m confident giving commands, going on safe, controlled walks, and caring for pets in a way that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve hosted dogs in my home as part of the family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they’d normally relax at home. If your dog is crate trained, that’s totally fine too! I’ve successfully trained using crates and will follow whatever routine helps your pup feel secure. Dogs are truly your best friend, always there to comfort you, make you smile, and love you unconditionally. They bring so much joy and deserve all the love and affection in return. That’s exactly how I care for every dog I meet. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, you can count on me to give your dog the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work part-time and have a solid routine in place for my own fur babies at home. Mornings usually start with a potty break or walk if needed, followed by breakfast and a quick house check to make sure everything’s safe and tidy before I head out. I often come home on my lunch breaks to let the dogs out again, and I’m usually home between 4 and 5 in the afternoon for another potty break, dinner, and some relaxing downtime together. I’m flexible with feeding and walk times and can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy walks and love including them as part of my daily routine! Since I have two dogs of my own, I don’t offer overnight house sitting away from my home, but I’m happy to do drop-in visits and spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I can come by for walks, playtime with their favorite toy or ball, or even practice basic commands using training treats or a clicker. I can also host them at my house for a stay! When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated just like family, loved, cared for, and included in daily life. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for running and playing. I do my best to follow the same routines and training methods you use at home, so your pet feels comfortable and confident while in my care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and sense of routine always come first!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Lafayette
I was very impressed with the service I received from Sherri (and Lee). They were very professional and thoughtful in caring for my dog. She advised me regarding training my over exuberant year-old puppy. Pictures and texts were provided during her stay, and she seemed to have a very good time. I would highly recommend Sherri and will use her again if the need arises. *****
This is my first time using Rover, and I feel so lucky to have found Hojoo. Turbo spent 10 days with her and her family, and I got lots of pictures and updates showing how much fun he was having. Knowing Turbo was happy and in such good hands made my trip so much easier. Highly recommend!
I boarded my dog with Lauren and was very happy with the level of care provided. Lauren is confident and knowledgable in animal care and was communicative from the start, sending updates of our dog looking super happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend Lauren’s services!
Tarren was absolutely amazing with our Sasha dog while we went out of town for 5 days! We cannot say enough wonderful things about the loving and specialized care she provided for our sweet girl who is an older dog. She is so invested in knowing & understanding the needs of your pet and I love that she provides updates and photos along the way to offer that extra peace of mind. Sasha loved her and we will definitely be using her services again. 100 out of 10 recommend Tarren!
Kendall is our favored petsitter, and for good reason. She is so great at understanding our dog's temperament, knows how to make her comfortable in a new environment, and makes sure she gets lots of exercise and cuddles. She is conscientious and communicative, shares updates and so many pictures everyday. Bella loves staying with her!
This was an amazing experience! Millie, our pup, was in the best hands and we were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries knowing she was being loved on and cared for! We got lots of updates and pics. Chantal was wonderful with our puppy. I was so nervous to leave her for the first time but I would highly recommend Chantal! Millie got so much playtime and socializing. She even came home smelling so fresh and clean.
I really like Amelia. She was very caring to our dog, Ty. She made sure that our is doing fine, she updated me how he was doing, and she also took him for a walk. Other than that Amelia is very communicative and responsive. We will definitely be her repetitive client.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Lafayette on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 West Lafayette 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 West Lafayette.
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 West Lafayette 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.
