“Sage seemed like she had the best time staying with Amber and Alex. She got lots of love and play time and I received multiple polices a day with updates on how she was doing!”
“Went with Ashley and David for a second time and was not disappointed!! My dog’s tail started wagging when we pulled into the neighborhood to drop him off! The kids really seemed to love him and they send lots of pictures so it felt like I was still with him! I will absolutely use them again!”
“Roger was great at communicating the whole time while caring for Mooney. We got several pics throughout his stay. Mooney looked quite content and comfortable. I did not worry once about him because I knew he was in good hands. Roger was also very accommodating to last minute changes due to unexpected delays in our travel. I would highly recommend for your pets and I would definitely use him again for my Mooney.”
“Kay and Hutch were amazing! Our dog was truly home away from home in their care! They went above and beyond taking care of our dog, here are just a few things they did: lots of pictures, videos and text updates, numerous walks, plenty of toys, and they have a few puzzle boards that they hid treats in! Wonderful people, and a wonderful stay for our pet! We would 100% have them watch our dog again! Our dog had so much fun she has been missing them! Thank you again!”
“Allyson does such a great job with our senior dog. She is extremely caring and sends thoughtful updates throughout his stay. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”

“She was amazing! My dogs absolutely loved her. She sent me pictures and updates daily. She gave me a full run down when I went to pick them up. My heart was happy and I was at ease being so far away from them. I also had to change my days numerous times and add on another day last minute because of travel plans changing. And she was so great and flexible with all of it. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Ashlee was there for us when we needed to go out of town for a family funeral. It was the first time we left our dog Happy somewhere other than with family. Happy had an amazing time & was so loved & cared for!! We will definitely call her again if we need a dog sitter & highly recommend her! We appreciate her love for dogs & their individual needs. Thank you, Ashlee! ❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for friends and family for over 10 years, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Dog sitting fits naturally into my regular routine because I’m able to plan my day around giving pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing with them, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m responsible with my time and can work pet care into my schedule while making sure each dog gets plenty of attention and isn’t left feeling alone. My goal is to make pet sitting feel easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I provide attentive, responsible, and personalized care for every pet, while staying in my home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect and care I would my own. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“Penny had a great time at Kylie and Landon's place. She bonded with their dog, Moe, and had a lot of fun playing together in their nice backyard. I appreciated the regular communication updates, including photos.”
“We’re so grateful Michelle watched Luna while we were out of town! She was very flexible and accommodating with our pickup! Thank you for the updates and for caring of our sweet and shy girl! We would use her again! :)”
“Andrea was an awesome sitter for our nine year-old Golden. This was the first time we’ve used Rover and we could not be happier! Andrea and her family treated Dundee like one of their own pets, making sure she asked us anytime there was any issue, playing with him, walking him, and routinely engaging with us and sending pictures. we would gladly use her anytime.”

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 California Junction 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 California Junction.
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 California Junction 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.

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.
