“Jennifer is incredibly accommodating and so good with our dog! She has a terrific location nearby for walking dogs and visiting the park. Our dog had some anxiety with the thunderstorm but Jennifer was right with her. So kind!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who loves all creatures big or small, furry or scaly. I grew up with pets of all kinds and have always enjoyed caring for them, spending time with them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently have two dogs, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet. One is a 5-year old pit/boxer mix and the other is a new member of the household who is just a puppy and is a Catahoula/pit mix. I also have a human baby, so I’d prefer your fur baby be good with kiddos, but I can keep them separate if needed. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family members receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. 🐾❤️ I have my own in-home daycare with little ones M-F so I am home all the time, making it convenient for me to care for your furry friend when needed. We usually spend a majority of our days in the basement where I have my daycare space set up, so the animals can have a quieter area (unless they’d rather be with me and the kiddos) on the main floor, which is fairly spacious. My husband also has a flexible job where he can work at home fairly often, so he will also be around to help with the animals when needed. I have a smaller sized fenced backyard and a super friendly and submissive 5-year old pup of my own that can help make your pet feel comfortable here. Your fur friend has free range of the house, but I can also crate him/her if preferred.
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
About: I’m Rochelle and my full time job is as the Assistant Director of a no-kill animal shelter. I work closely with professional trainers to identify the correct temperament of an animal, I am pet CPR certified, I have worked as a vet assistant, I have experience working with wildlife rehabbers, I have worked on a 200 acre farm in Tennessee caring for chickens, cows, ducks, and pigs, and I’m an animal lover at heart! I am professionally trained to given oral and injectable medications to cats, dogs, farm animals and wildlife. I have approximately 4-6 personal pet sitting clients yet I am interested acquiring more! Getting to know and bonding with an animal brings me true joy and Rover is another way to do just that that. I look forward to working with you and your pet!

About: I have over 30 years of experience with loving and caring for animals. What sets me apart is that I’m not trying to make your pet fit into my routine. I’m happy to work around theirs. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level, and I want them to feel safe and relaxed while they’re away from home. Your pet will be cared for in our home, with a large fenced-in yard, plenty of attention, and a family who genuinely loves animals. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, feeding instructions, medications, crating, or other care preferences you have for your pet. I think one of the biggest things I offer is peace of mind. I’ll treat your pet like a guest in our home, not just another booking. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I can accommodate your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and potty breaks. My goal is to make sure your pet receives consistent care and attention while you’re away. When your pets stay with me, they’re not just being boarded, they’re staying in our home and becoming part of the family while you’re away! I provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where your pets can stick to their normal routine and get plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your care instructions, schedule, and any special needs to make their stay as easy and familiar as possible. We have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside and enjoy some playtime and fresh air. I also have teenagers who absolutely love animals, so your pets will have plenty of extra attention and affection (if they’re interested in it, of course! 😂). I also have a gated kitchen area that can be used if you prefer your dog to be safely contained while we’re away. If your dog is crate-trained and you’d rather they be crated when we leave, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. Your pet’s comfort and your preferences come first. I know leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in a safe, loving home. I’ll treat your pets the same way I’d want someone to treat mine, with lots of love, patience, attention, and care. 🐶🐱❤️
“Katie and her family treated Heidi like she was part of theirs! She sent me photos and a video while I was at the game. This reassured me to know that Heidi was being treated like family while I was out of town. I'll definitely use Katie's services again.”

About: I’ve had dogs as long as I’ve been alive and since living on my own, have had the pleasure of raising 2 of my own. I’m a dependable, caring sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I am currently working part time and have availability almost every Saturday and Sunday. I would love to fill my time with more love from your pets :) I have a decent sized fully fenced back yard and two dogs to keep your pet entertained during their stay. I am comfortable crating your dog, but also allow pets to roam freely as long as they’re fully potty trained.
“I was really impressed with the way Taylor made arrangements so quickly after another sitter canceled a week before. The dogs were well taken care of, cage free, fenced in back yard, and they even had a playmate. Several pictures daily. I felt really comfortable. I was starting to Miss them, The last day. Very good communication, compassion and care all around.”


“Sarah gets excited when I tell her she’s going to see Cortney and the kids. I think she’s more excited when I drop her off than when I come back to pick her up! Chris and Courtney are very nice and I’m thankful for their care of Sarah.”


“Jenna is AMAZING!! She has such a kind and loving energy about her. When I dropped my pup off, he didn’t even look back 😂 Very dependable, great communication, and frequent updates! We are breaking up with our kennel and using her, moving forward!! Highly recommend!!”

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 Argo 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 Argo.
<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 Argo 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 IA 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.
