“Jason took great care of our dog. He was patient, experienced, and took the time to understand our dog’s needs. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about the animals in his home. Our dog settled back into his normal routine very quickly after coming home, which gave us confidence that he was well cared for. We had a great experience and would definitely trust Jason to watch our dog again.”
“An AMAZING sitter. Is extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. Worked with me on short notice to help with a scheduling issue that forced me to drop off my pup a bit earlier than discussed and sent me daily pictures while I was away. 100/100 would absolutely work with her again.”
“Maverick had a good time!! He came home the same dog I dropped off (which is 💯 a relief) and he made friends with a tiny dog! Also very appreciative for a shorter notice booking.”
“Anastasiia was EXCELLENT!! Communication was great and she included daily pictures and videos. My dog has anxiety during storms and she was very compassionate with him. I couldn’t be happier with the way she treated Chipper!!”
“Our baby boy Ronnie really enjoyed his stay with Tiffany and her family. They made him part of the family while he was there and he was in very good spirits when we arrived, which means he had fun and he felt very comfortable! Thanks Tiffany for giving us such peace of mind for a few days knowing our Ronnie was in very good hands!”
“So amazing! This was Greta’s first time with Adela and she love, love, loved it! Her dogs were awesome with Greta and her household super loving! 15 inches of snow that first night and Adela didn’t mind a bit. We needed an extra night because of it and Adela and family were so happy about it. Highly recommend them! We’ll be back!”
“Lindsey was so amazing! Arya felt at home from the minute she walkedinto Lindsey's home. Lindsey took her for walks and sent me pictures each day. I highly recommend Lindsey!”
About: 🐾 Welcome to Zinia's Tail-Wagging Wonderland! 🐾 Hello there! I'm Zinia, I am a dental student, and together with my husband Grant, a resident pathologist at the University of Iowa, we're excited to offer a loving and playful home for your furry family members. Our senior dog, Missy, a delightful Yorkshire Terrier weighing about 12 pounds, can't wait to welcome new friends into our cozy abode. With summer in full swing and some extra time on my hands, I'm thrilled to provide your dog with a delightful stay filled with fun and affection. Although I'm offering my services for fun rather than for pay, please note that I'm fully committed to providing exceptional care. It's an opportunity to share my love for dogs and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. I will only board one family at a time. As Missy prefers the company of smaller dogs, I'm currently only able to board dogs under 20 pounds. If your dog is fragile or easily susceptible to injury, worry not, as I'm well-versed in meeting the unique needs of small dogs. So, if you're seeking a fun-filled dog-sitting experience with personalized care, look no further! Contact me today to discuss how we can make your pup's stay a tail-wagging delight at Zinia's Tail-Wagging Wonderland. Let the pampering begin! 🐶🐾 I am out of school and I'm home all day on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I have a part-time job working as a dental assistant on Tues-Wed-Thurs, from 9am-2 pm. However, the hours are flexible as I can leave late or arrive early or not go if I'm busy and it is more of a learning experience for me. So I can be a little flexible, so shoot me a message and we can figure it out :) I live in an apartment, but make no mistake, we spend plenty of time outside! Throughout the day, I keep owners updated with photos, videos, and messages to provide peace of mind. We're fortunate to reside near a dog park, allowing for daily visits to keep our furry guests active and entertained. Exercise and playtime are essential parts of our routine, and I'm more than happy to ensure your dog gets ample opportunity to socialize and have a blast. In our home, we prioritize comfort and relaxation, so you won't find any crates here. Instead, your pup will have free reign to chill on the couch and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. If I need to step out briefly for a quick errand, I'll make sure to secure the bedroom doors and let them have full access to the living room. Depending on the dog's temperament, I may even bring them along on my short outings. (See my typical day below for more info)
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker! He was highly communicative when it came to how my pet was doing as well as sending pictures. Very patient and helpful, especially good with younger dogs!!!”
About: I’ve watched many dogs and two cats over the past 4 years usually over family friend vacations. I’ve worked with reactive dogs as well as two young puppies. I spoil my dogs and would be happy to treat your pets with just as much love! I am a part time college student so I have a TON of time to pet sit! As I prepare for dental school in the fall, I will also be free for summer work. I love staying with dogs in either an environment they are used to or my own depending on what the pet parent prefers! There is a fenced in dog park behind my apartment that is never occupied where I run around with dogs. If it is occupied, I would walk around the park nearby with lots to smell on the trail. I also love giving dog baths, so that could totally be included!
“Micki and her family we so great about taking our beagle Finn for the weekend on very short notice. He went with her right away (this was his first time staying away from home without us!), and he had a great time and got lots of attention. I'm sure he was more of a handful than Micki let on! She made the whole experience easy for us and fun for Finn!”
“Brooke was communicative, understanding of accomodations for our dogs, and sent lots of photos! We would definitely recommend her. The dogs came back home very tired after a great day playing with the other dogs.”
“Lakin was amazing at letting us know how our little fur baby was coping away from home. She sent us picture and videos and always responded pretty quickly to any message we sent. Our booking was last minute and we are very grateful that Lakin was able to accommodate for us. Would book again!!”
“Kenneth and his family were wonderful pet people! They work at home and have a high schooler, and live near great play places. My pup enjoyed playing with their dog and came home tired and happy. Got several updates through my trip with pics. I would have no reservations reserving with them again!”
“I left my pup with Alysha for a week and could not have better things to say about her and the care she gave my dog. I am usually a bit anxious leaving my dog with anyone but was so comfortable because I knew that she was being treated like a part of her family. I got several pictures a day and my pup seemed so happy. Would definitely board my dog with her again and recommend her to anyone!”
About: I am college student who is pursuing their dream of becoming a Veterinary Technician. After my schooling, I want to further my education and become an animal behavioralist and dog groomer. I used to clean houses for my mother's business. From time-to-time people would ask if we could watch their pets while they were away. We took this opportunity! Who wouldn't? I have experience in nail trimming and some grooming too. I also like to keep the home tidy while owners are away. Whether that is for a day or a week! A clean home and a clean pet! What is better than that?! Your needs will be met along with your animals. If they want belly rubs, they get it! If they want to go for a walk, we do it! I attend college but in between classes or days I have off, I make room for animals who need to be cared for. No matter the circumstance, I will be there for your pet! I care for the well-being of anyone's pets. If they need a bath, they get a bath (at the extent of your permission). If they are rambunctious, they can have a ball outside for a walk with me! If they need love and attention, they can get all the snuggles they want!
“Tori has been hands down AMAZING with our pups! We have a 6 year old springer spaniel and a 6 month old husky/German shepherd mix! They get along well with her dogs and they love the fenced yard and all the attention!”

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 Centerdale 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 Centerdale.
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 Centerdale 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.
