“Cynthia was so easy to work with and was flexible to do a last minute booking. They were so sweet and have a great environment for out. My pup left happy, we will definitely be back!”
“This was my first time using Rover & I was nervous but Melanie took fantastic care of our dog. She kept me updated, sent pictures, & Lucy, our pup, is happy as can be. I highly recommend her services.”
“Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!”
“They took great care of our pup! We loved receiving the photo updates and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well loved the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pet.”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica was great with our dog Louie, loved the pics and vids during his stay. Booking and communication was easy and efficient. Highly Recommended, and many Thanks!”
“Casandra was absolutely amazing! You can tell she has so much love for the animals in her care. We were kept up to date with updates throughout the entire stay and Penny looked like she has so much fun with Casandra! Book with her!”
“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”
“The family took very good care of LouCee I got daily pictures and they were very responsive . For my 1st time using Rover and a overnight sitter , it was perfect situation .”
“Rachael was amazing. She responded back quickly and got a meet & greet done with. She listened to instructions and seems passionate about canine care! Definitely recommend and will continue to hire her!”
“Highly recommend booking a stay with Samantha and her husband. Right away they were very welcoming and all my nerves of leaving my dog were at ease. She makes sure to send multiple pictures each day and provided updates on how Charlie was doing each day and night as well as the activities they did! Will definitely book Charlie another stay with Samantha when I need to leave town again!!”
“Elizabeth was very responsive and asked questions to ensure it was a good fit ahead of time. During our dog’s stay she provided several daily updates with pictures and videos. She had him out playing with new dog friends in the fenced yard, and he came home a tired boy. Highly recommend! We will definitely book her again.”
“Tam and her partner were exactly who you'd want to leave your fur baby with, and in my case, totally saved the day with a last minute booking. They were friendly, extremely responsive and from the pictures, my picky chihuahua had a great time. Would def book again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we cannot say enough good things about Meagan and the overall process. Meagan provided daily reports and pictures which were very much appreciated. We'll definitely use Meagan again.”
“We hit the lottery finding this family!!! Alicia, Dan, and their daughter took absolutely incredible care of my dog, Coco. From the moment we connected, they made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They treated Coco like she was part of their family! Every day Alicia sent updates and photos, which meant so much to me and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and messages that Coco was happy, loved, and getting tons of attention 😊 I could not have had a better experience!!! I will absolutely be booking with them (and only them!) again! ❤️🐾”
“Holly and her family are awesome. Sally and Sam really didn’t want to leave to come home. Holly kept me very up to date on what was going on with them. She sent photos also. I believe they had a great time and I will use Holly anytime we go on vacations.”
“We are very happy with the care our Dachshund mix, Sophie received from Lisa and Dennis. Our girl is very timid and not friendly with strangers. They worked with her and in the short time she was with them, started to open up a bit. We will definitely try to schedule with them in the future if the need arises!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clive
Mandy usually is very anxious when left anywhere but she seemed quite happy and content with Alicia and her family. Mandy also liked her dogs, Bennie and Mila, which helped keep her from being anxious. Alicia provided pictures and updates which gave us much comfort. I highly recommend this sitter and will use her again when she is available.
Amanda did a great job giving my and her dog time to get use to each other. It was a little rocky at first meet but they showed promise. She did great making sure they had the space they needed until they warmed up. By the end of our trip they were comfortable relaxing with each other and even played some tug together. Her pictures were also great and were a nice treat every morning (time zone difference) for us. A meet and greet and maybe and maybe a night to test the waters would be recommended but she does a great job managing the energy of the pack.
I think my Sam had a great time with Cynthia and family…and he was so lucky that Cynthia’s daughter was there with her little dog Reggie, so he had a playmate the whole time he was there (9days). Cynthia watered her plants outside and my Sam loves to be watered also. And with the very hot weather, he enjoyed it. Will be returning!
Elizabeth was super accommodating when our travel plans kept us an extra day longer (snow storm). She was very good at communicating with us by sending picture and video updates but not over the top where it was too much. Our dog Zeus had a blast and we would definitely have him stay with her and her family again!
Priscila was so accommodating with a meet-and-greet prior to watching Sam and the drop-off and pick-up times that kept changing on my end. Priscila sent several pictures of Sam enjoying his stay and these were much appreciated. The communication with Priscila was spot on and she verified the drop-off time and pick-up times the day prior to Sam’s stay. I would definitely book with Priscila again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clive on Rover is $44.4 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 407 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clive. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
94% of Clive sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Clive 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 Clive 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 Clive.
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 Clive 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.
