“This was my first time using this app, and I was soo nervous. But that feeling immediately went away when I came across Christine. She has been phenomenal with my two fur babies. She went above and beyond to keep me updated with how they were adjusting. She sent me daily pictures and videos. I barely had to supply anything for their stay. They were comfortable and loved as if they were her own. It’s soo comforting to know that I can depend on another doggy lover outside of myself to trust. I will for sure be using her services again when needed. Thank you rover and Christine. I can’t express how much I appreciate this. I wish I would’ve found this app sooner ?”

“Beverly was wonderful! She was very accommodating to my schedule and very attentive to Kobe. She had a large fenced yard for Kobe to run & play. And, he got a chance to socialize with other dogs. Beverly also sent frequent updates & pics during Kobe’s stay, so we could be assured he was enjoying his stay. I would definitely use Beverly again! And, Kobe has a new friend for life.”

About: Hi, I'm Danny! I work part-time as a dog handler at a local daycare and have 10 years of experience caring for animals professionally through dog walking and pet sitting services. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that pets are our family and I'm intentional about providing them with the genuine love and care they deserve. I provide reliable daily walks, drop-in visits, in-home pet sitting, and boarding tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Managing dogs and cats of all temperaments daily has taught me exactly how to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I am fully insured and First Aid/CPR certified, and I promise to treat your pet like one of my own! I'm currently working part-time while studying on my own schedule. I'm very flexible for dog walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits most days of the week. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine. On walks, I focus on enjoying safe, fun exercise and giving them plenty of time to sniff and explore. For drop-ins and in-home sitting, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, cuddles (if they want them), and a clean, comfortable space. I’ll also send daily photos and report cards so that you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I Love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kind. Your pet will be staying in my home, so they will have the whole house to themselves. I take extra long walks to the park and the beach often. You will never find anyone more invested in your best friend. Every hour of every day is dedicated to caring for your best friend. I am very active. I go to the gym 5 days a week. Working with dogs and cats gives me what we need in order to stay fit and mental stable. I will have your doggies tired at the end of the day!! The doggies and kitties have the entire house to their self. I have a big home with 4 floors. I also have a large yard that is fenced in and totally secure. No one gets in or out unless I decide to.

Christine was wonderful with my dog! She responded quickly, sent me pictures to keep me updated, and was very flexible when I was running late. Tjis was my first time booking with a pup sitter so I was a little nervous, but she reassured me and helped me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. I really appreciated her kindness and communication, and I’d happily book with her again!

Just like last time, Katie and Nick were amazing with Charlie. I think he is a little spoiled when he goes there, but he deserves it. He loves Hazel and Daisy, too! Thank you for allowing me to have a relaxing vacation, knowing he is in the BEST hands.

I had a great experience with this person taking care of my dog. They are a very kind and responsible person, and they truly care about animals. They kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog was well taken care of and happy. I would definitely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

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.

95% of sitters in Whiting 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 Whiting 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 Whiting.

<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 Whiting 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.
