Nicole S.

“Nicole and her family provided such a welcoming home to my dog while I was away. I had reached out to them on very short notice on my account and they rose to the occasion quickly. They provided lots of updates and pictures, and always reached out when they had any questions about his care. Speaking a bit with Nicole they are experienced dog owners. and well accustomed to making space for new dogs in their lives. I'm very grateful for their care and I'm going to be keeping them in mind in the future.”


Kelly O.

“Kelly and her family have an amazing home for our pets when we need to leave town without them! I have used Kelly twice now and wouldn’t think twice about using her again. Great backyard and stress free environment for your dogs. Plus they often have other friend staying there as well. Winnie, of course, is a major plus. Thanks again Kelly and family!”

Samantha M.

“Samantha and her husband Raheem took such good care of my baby. He can be quite anxious and high energy and they made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. She had great communication throughout the stay and sent plenty of adorable photo updates. My boy is not the easiest dog to watch, and they were amazing!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. They treat your pup like their own!”


Jenna L.
About: I trained and raised puppies from birth. I have always grown up being around dogs and i love to take care and play with them! I’m a college student currently so I have time between and after classes to come let out and play with your dogs! I also am usually free all day on Sundays and some days during the week. I do not have a fenced in yard but i do have a big grass area and other secluded parks to take them to. I live in an apartment on the 3rd floor.


J B.

“I highly recommend boarding for anyone who needs it. My Bailey was well taken care of, and I loved receiving the updates and pictures throughout the stay.”


Lizzy D.


“After several bad experiences boarding with traditional kennels, we decided to give Rover a try. Lizzy was great with our 12 year old puggle, Tiffy and gave her lots of attention. We received daily updates and pictures of Tiffy and her stay included several walks, play time, naps, and trips to the dog park at her apartment complex. We really appreciate everything Lizzy did to make our dog's stay comfortable and ease our worries about boarding her while we were away for a week. We will definitely consider using Rover for our future boarding needs and will look to see if Lizzy is available in the process.”


Malia C.

“Malia was fantastic with my cat Junie! She constantly sent me photos, videos, and updates while I was away on my trip. She was very communicative with me and very loving and sweet to my baby. I will definitely be booking with Malia again!”


Hailey B.
“Hailey took great care of our shy, timid dog Theo. She was really patient with him and let him warm up to her. She was very attentive and clearly has a love for animals.”


Angela & Brandon K.
“I'm so glad I asked Angela & Brandon to watch Jimmy! They were easy-going about taking in a dog they had never met and their little girls were great about playing with him. Jimmy loves children so it was the perfect place for him to stay. I have relatives in Ames so I will definitely book Jimmy's boarding with them again when I'm visiting!”


Jayden M.

“Very pleased with Kara’s stay with Jayden. Kara is an anxious kitty and Jayden was able to provide a quiet space where she could be most comfortable. I received frequent updates with pictures to let me know everything was going well!”


Emma Y.
About: Hello! My name is Emma and I am a student at Iowa State University. I have watched dogs for many years and would love to look after, play, and walk your pets. I also have a friendly little pup that would love to make a new friend! I have a pretty flexible class schedule so I can make time to watch your pet. I am available at least 4 days a week, but often times even daily. I live in an apartment complex near campus. It is spacious with lots of place to roam inside. There is lots of grassy area near by.


Lizzy L.
“Lizzy is such a kind and loving person with animals! She's been so helpful when I needed help with my animals. She is very knowledgeable and really puts 100% into taking care of and loving any animal (dog, cat, lizard, etc.) she interacts with. Leaving her with my animals has never fazed me. Further, she is quite the animal owner herself (cats, dogs, lizards, fish, etc) and they are the most loved and well taken care of animals I've interacted with. I never needed to worry when Lizzy was caring for my pets.”


Tiffany W.

“Tiffany was flexible, communicative, and knowledgeable. I appreciated her willingness to take in my giant breed dog last minute and would highly recommend her to other people.”


Marla G.
“Marla is my go-to pet sitter when I’m out of town. Not only does my dog love her, but I’m never worried when I’m gone. She even waters all my plants for me! She sends me updates regularly, including the cutest photos of my furbaby. She even was willing to help me out with short notice by letting my dog out for me when something personally unexpected came up. 10/10 would recommend! Pooch approved!”
