“Wow!!! Where do I start. Sheree was amazing with my dog whom I feel is so hyper. I never had to worry about what he was doing or how the day and night was going because Sheree kept me updated everyday that I was on vacation. She sent photos and reassurances and it eased the pain of leaving my dog for so many days. She definitely has a caring spirit about where you just know your dog is in good hands. I will absolutely be booking with her again for the overnight stay. From my family and Yoshi we truly thank Sheree.”

“My dog has horrible separation anxiety so I dread trips away from home. Using the warm and cozy home of Janis and Devin was the perfect solution. I received multiple pictures every day. I could tell my dog was happy and feeling a part of the family. When I picked him up he was not crazed and inconsolable. He also has not been extra anxious at home as he usually gets. I will use Janis and Devin again and again. I have the highest esteem and praise for their business. I HIGHLY recommend!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Kamiah! She took such amazing care of my dog, Autumn, and made the whole experience stress free for both of us. Autumn absolutely loves her, and it was clear from the start that Kamiah treats her like family. She kept me updated throughout Autumn’s entire stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Autumn was in her care. I highly recommend Kamiah to anyone looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for their fur babies. She’s truly the best!”

“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”

“T’wanna has been taking care of my two cats in her home for a month now while my place is under renovation,and they are doing really well. Because they were going to be there for so long I took all of their cat toys and their cat tree and they’re scratching post and their litter boxes over to her place so they have all the comforts of their own home.She sends me updates and photos and videos. I have been able to visit them a few times. T’wanna has been flexible with my requests to come see my babies. She also takes pictures and photos of me with them when I’m visiting and send them to me. As much as I miss them, I am so grateful that they have someone caring to look after them.”

“We have used Tino to watch our dog, Oscar a few times. Tino is great with communication, taking walks and sending pictures. Oscar feels very comfortable when we walk in which is a very good sign that he is happy in his home. His family is also loving to Oscar and gives him positive attention. Based on our experience this past year, I feel confident to recommend Tino.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Wheeler

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wheeler is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 415 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wheeler. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.

96% of sitters in Wheeler 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 Wheeler 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 Wheeler.

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 Wheeler. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Wheeler 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.
