“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!”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Rover sitter, Mallory! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away. It was clear that our dog was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. The biggest compliment we can give is that our dog came home calm, relaxed, and happy, a sure sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for during his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Mallory again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”
“Roger was amazing with Zuzu, she came home very happy. He handled my anxiety of leaving her with strangers very well and answered any questions I had. Roger was extremely accommodating to drop off and pick up times. He will be my go to in Omaha.”
“Ginger had the BEST time ever with Mr. Doyle and Mr. Mike! I got pictures from all of her adventures and when she came home, she went straight to bed for a five hour nap. She was so exhausted from having fun. They even took her swimming (her absolute favorite sport) and have the pics to prove it. These gentlemen have it going on and know exactly what my dog loves. They don't just care for her; they pamper her and see to her every need. I am just so impressed. It is so nice to be able to go out of town and know that a very significant part of my family will be well cared for and off having an adventure of her own! Words cannot express my gratitude for the service and commitment that this sitter provides. ”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She was attentive, caring, and sent regular updates and pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup felt right at home with her, and we couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone reliable and compassionate - just please don’t book her on dates that we need her 😂”
About: My mom started fostering dogs when I was 2 years old, so I've been taking care of dogs my whole life! I would love to help you take care of your dog(s)! I also have experience using various no-pull harnesses and gentle leader head collars for larger dogs. I have no qualms about taking care of "controversial" breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans, or Pit Bulls. I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend check-ins. I'm perfectly comfortable and experienced at administering oral medications and/or taking care of senior dogs and cats. I have a fenced-in yard for frequent potty breaks and play time. Adult pets must be spayed/neutered to stay at my home. I try to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can see when I'm available! Please reach out for any specific dates needed! Boarding: I treat your dogs like my own! They get to play outside and sleep on the furniture with my dog! I'll feed them per your schedule! Sitting: I'll try to keep the routine as normal as possible for your pets! I'll send pictures throughout the service!
“Jill and family took great care of our Maya. We were leaving her for 10 days and she had never spent more than one night away from us, so we were a little nervous about how she would do. No need to worry though, Jill and family made her part of the family. We received texts and pics everyday telling and showing us that she was doing great. We will definitely continue to use Jill in the future.”
“Thank you Ainsley - it was wonderful to have complete peace of mind while we were away for more than a week from our anxious/nervous dog. He ate, slept, and exercised well and even got to socialize and learn from his role model, Ted! We can't wait to board again with Aisnley and Ted!”
“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”
“Andrew was amazing and professional with his communication, updates and care for our Yorkie last minute, who is highly anxious and had been displaying some defensive/aggressive behaviors. He not only cared for him well, I felt confident and reassured each interaction with Andrew, even through the multitude of challenges he faced with our little guy. I felt extreme gratitude to have Andrew watch our dog. he came home happy & calm.”
“Ian was Great,watched Mushka for 5 days while out of Town,he was accommodating and good with communication.Our Pet was well attended to and we definitely are going to work with next time.”
“5 star household! Our old man was so tired from all the play time. They provided great photos and updates and showed concern when he had a bit of bleeding from tug of war. Knowing they pay attention to details gave us additional peace of mind.”
“Savannah did a great job with my dog over the weekend. She was quick to respond to any messages I sent her, and she was great at giving me updates and pictures while I was away. Would love to have her watch my dog again.”
“Watson seemed to have a good time with Ryne and was well taken care of. He was healthy and happy when we picked him up. He had his own room with TV and small couch. Ryne sent pictures during his stay which was greatly appreciated.”

My inaugural Rover experience turned out to be a stroke of luck, as I found Candy to serve as my dog’s watcher. From start to finish, Candy maintained clear, fluid communication and replied to every question I had in impressively short order. Her daily dispatches of multiple photos and written updates kept me thoroughly reassured and made it clear that my dog was having a splendid time at her home. Should the need arise again, I will engage Candy’s services without hesitation
Kay and Daniel are officially our pups aunt and uncle! They took such good care of them and put our minds at ease. They even had to deal with storms and anxiety and were great with them. Awesome communication as well. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a safe, loving stay for your fur baby!
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! 💜

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.
90% of sitters in Carter Lake 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 Carter Lake home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Carter Lake.
<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 Carter Lake 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
