“Jenny took such good care of my reactive dog! She was patient and understanding, and knew what to do to get my dog to warm up to her. She also sent a nice amount of photos and updates which I sincerely appreciated!”
“They were very good to communicate with. They were very good with my dogs. They sent me photos to let me know how my dogs were doing just super easy to get a hold of and my dogs really enjoyed being there and wasn’t cooped up the whole time and they made sure to watch my dogs carefully and kept them busy so they didn’t get depressed”
“Rachel did SUCH a great job caring for Jason. He almost didn't want to come home because he was having such a good time. We will definitely be coming back, Rachel! Jason loves his paparazzi!”
“Bethany was so great with our 2 senior dogs! They immediately felt safe with her and stopped shaking. Bethany sent me photos and videos everyday while we were away from our doggies. She also was very proficient in giving our dogs their medicine. I would highly recommend and we will definitely use her again!”
“Lindsay was terrific. Jason immediately felt comfortable in her home, climbing up on the coach and rolling around happily. She did a great job providing food and snuggles and walks.”
“Kaylee and Nick were wonderful. We were passing through town and needed someone to watch our dogs for a couple of hours. Those couple of hours were stress free thanks to Kaylee and Nick. My dogs were happy and well cared for. They were easy to communicate with when needed I would highly recommend them.”
“Tyler did a fantastic job! Jason had a blast supervising workouts and taking naps on couches. Tyler even helped Jason stay calm during a stormy evening. I will definitely use Tyler again.”
“We had the best experience with Angie! Although we were 1st time users of Rover, from the moment we met Angie, we knew our beloved Thunder would be in the best hands possible for his very 1st overnight stay away from home. Angie kept us updated with periodic pics & videos throughout his stay with her, which was such an awesome touch. I hope our next Rover sitter will be able to live up to Angie's standards because she's set the bar very high!!”
“Deirdre was absolutely amazing. She sent many pictures and updates. After meeting her I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving my Fur baby with her. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“Kaylene was a wonderful host & made my dog feel right at home. She was very accommodating & kept an open line of communication the entire time, it was a great peace of mind. We plan on using her again for many more future boarding needs”
About: I grew up on a small farm with dogs being part of my life since birth. I have had some classes in dog training and take care of my parents dogs on the routine. I love spending time with dogs and would take care you pup with the tender loving care each dog needs. I am open most mornings and be willing to board on the weekends. While you are at work your lovable animals can get their much needed walks and attention. Additional details upon request. I have plenty of space and a small yard. I keep an active lifestyle so long walks will be a must. Open to discussing any special needs.
“I don't even know where to begin! This was the absolute best discovery for myself and Sammy Sue. Everything about Nicole's care was top notch. My dog has never come home so well adjusted and behaved from me being gone. Her fenced in back yard was an absolute life saver and Nicole's loving nature made Sammy feel right at home instantly. If you want your pet to receive %100 loving care while you are away then this is the place to take them! 5 stars all the way!!!!!!! We will be back for sure, as I will never board my baby girl again! So glad we found you Nicole!!!”
About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.
“Chelsey took great care of Annie and provided great exercise opportunities for her. She also sent updates and pictures while Annie stayed with her. I would recommend Chelsey to others and wouldn’t hesitate to have Annie stay there again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased that Eric was our first experience! Our dog loved her stay at his home. He has the whole upper floor dedicated to the dogs staying with him. Has a large fenced-in backyard too, which was perfect for her. We were lucky that he was caring for a few other dogs, so she had friends to play with during her stay too. Whenever she needs a place to stay, Eric will be at the top of our list.”
“Adriana definitely eased our minds while we were away on vacation! Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and I love them all! I have taken care of dogs and cats in my family as well as animals of family friends. I am looking for a job for the summer and love animals, so this job would be a great fit. My summer schedule is very open so I can give lots of attention to your pets. My family has a Saint Bernard, so I know what it is like to handle big dogs if needed. I can stay in your home or just drop in for bathroom and play time! I will give your furry friends lots of love and attention.
“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cedar Falls
I felt very comfortable worth Bethany when i just visited her. I was confident that my people-oriented small dog would be okay there for a few days. Initially I left him for a weekend, and then a week later we will be leaving him for 6 days. Also, she is a vet tech student, which adds to her appeal. Our dog is diabetic and requires insulin twice a day. He got good care in that respect. After his first weekend, he came home in good shape and did not seem stressed out. Bethany owns one small dog, and usually boards two or three other dogs. She sends pictures periodically so you can see how the dog is doing. Our dog particularly liked the stairs up to the bed. 😁
Deirdre was so great! She really eased our anxiety and nervousness over leaving our dog for the first time for an extended period. She sent so many updates and pictures. We loved it and it made us so happy that he was being loved and cared for while we were away. Deirdre is the absolute best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cedar Falls on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 48 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cedar Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cedar Falls 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 Cedar Falls.
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 Cedar Falls 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.
