“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!”
“I used Samantha to watch my pup for me when I went out of town. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. Samantha is someone that clearly has experience taking care of animals and will frequently send updates and pictures during the stay. I’m so thankful for Samantha and I would HIGHLY recommend if you need someone dependable. Also, be prepared for your dog to get depressed when you get there to pick them up because they don’t want to leave.”
“Our pups had a great time staying with Roger! He provided updates for us daily and great care for our two dogs. They loved this backyard! We will be booking again with Roger in the future! Thank you again!”
“Great experience! Amanda was able to accomodate my last minute travel changes and was available on a busy holiday weekend. She took care of my Chihuahua like she was part of the family. I couldn't have asked for a better turn out. Thanks Amanda! We will definitely be using you again in the future!”
“Alexis did an amazing job watching my doggo for me over the weekend while I was out of town! She sent multiple updates daily which included pictures of my dog having a great time:) I never had any doubts as to his safety and wellbeing. If you need your dog boarded I cannot recommend Alexis enough!”
About: As a proud dog mom to two pups, Harry and Rosey, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your furry family members! I've spent years caring for my own dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, quirks, and routines. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or just curl up for some cuddles, I'm happy to make them feel right at home. I have cared for older dogs as well (my soul-dog was 20 when he passed) and have experience giving medicine if needed :) I offer a comfortable, loving home environment where your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, affection, and care. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you're away, so you can expect lots of pictures and communication! My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they're on vacation, too! 🐶❤️ When your pup stays with us, they’re part of the family! I am home full time, so whether they need a potty break, some playtime, extra belly rubs, or just want to snooze in their favorite sunny spot, they’ll get the love, attention, and care they deserve. I want them to feel just as comfortable and happy here as they do at home! I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and burn off energy! My two friendly pups, Harry and Rosey, are always happy to have company! While we occasionally enjoy walks, most of our outdoor fun happens right in the backyard! Inside, there's plenty of space to relax and enjoy some quiet time, and I also have a crate available if needed.
“Marty and Millie were right at home with Amanda, her own pets and her kids. She sent lots of photos throughout their stay and really made them a part of the household. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Teddy loves going to Dazhi’s! I always have total peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for and showered with love. He comes home happy every time — which says it all. 🐾”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Ian. He was available and accommodating for my two Frenchies. They had an extended stay with Ian and his fur babies and were returned to me happy and well kept! Ian kept us updated with information and photos as needed and was prompt to respond whenever we had questions! 100% recommend.”
“Kelly was a wonderful caregiver for our dog Daisy for 10 days while we were on vacation! She welcomed her into her home, treated her like her own, and sent us updates along the stay. I highly recommend Kelly!”
“We went on vacation for a week and left our babies at Bryanne’s for the first time. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dogs! When we returned, they were happy and groomed :D. Thanks Bry!”
“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!”
“Jennifer and her beautiful family were amazing with Mylow! She provided daily updates and pictures while we were on vacation. Her family loved on our dog like he was their own. Pick up and drop off were seamless and you could genuinely see and feel Jennifer’s love for animals. Mylow came home one happy dog. We will definitely use Jennifer in the future. Thanks again Jennifer! 💜”
“Danielle and her family took such good care of our two dogs while we were out of town! It was great to have them stay with someone who took them in like they were part of the family. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Anja did an amazing job! She constantly sent me photos and updates on Moose which helped ease my anxiety about being away from him. I am so glad I chose her to care for Moose and will definitely use Anja again and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Mousse loved his time with Kylie, Landon and Moe. I received numerous super cute pics and updates. Mousse especially loved his snuggle time with them. So nice to be able to leave your pet with someone and have them treated like part of the family.”
“Michelle was amazing! Our Rye is a special girl with big feelings about the world around her so Michelle’s calm demeanor and perfect home setup was just what we needed for Rye to have the best away from home sitting experience. Michelle was attentive to Rye’s dietary needs, arthritis impacts to mobility and overall comfort, and also responded so quickly to all my helicopter dog mama texts asking how she was doing. She also sent regular updates and sent me so many pictures. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter you want to feel confident is going to take the best care of your pup.”
“Angela is a lifesaver! She took my puppy within the hour of my contacting her because I was too sick to take care of her. We met a few weeks before to assesss a fit and boy was I relieved she had an opening when I needed help. Angela and her family are darling and I love that my puppy has other small dogs to play with. Great house with perfect backyard. When I got her the next day she was tired and VERY happy!”

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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
