“Morgan took amazing care of our senior dog Riley! He was so comfortable with her and she did amazing sharing pictures with us while we were away. Definitely recommend her!”

“We went to do a meet and greet with Shea a few weeks before Maisy stayed with Sheas family. The house was well kept and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We will be making arrangements with Shea in the future for additional stays with Shea and her family. I could tell that Maisy felt very comfortable with them by how well she ate her food while staying with them. I highly recommend giving Shea the opportunity to care for you pet.”


“Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.”
“Ivana treated Max like he was her family. He was happy feeling part of the team with her dogs. He was pampered and loved. I will definitely use Ivana again.. so satisfied with her care for Max.🥰”

“Niko was very well cared for while staying with Lara and Cary. We received updates with pictures daily. They were very accommodating. We would definitely use them again:)”

“Amazing experience. Our dog gets homesick but Alexandra was there to help him adjust while we were out of town. He LOVED the big backyard and his new dog friend. Thank you for taking such care of our dog and giving us updates along the way - you went above and beyond.”


“Tux was happy to see Alok when we dropped off! He was happy to me when I picked up but wasn’t in any hurry… that tells me he is well cared for by Alok. I will definitely have Tux stay there again.”

“Elizabeth was amazing! So communicative, smart with how she handled the dogs in her care, and incredibly loving with my pup. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”

“Scott and Jess took such great care of our goldendoodle! We got lots of great pictures during her stay and she loved playing in their backyard! They were super responsive and attentive to our questions and requests. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!!”

“We have an incredibly shy dog. He is very leery of people and we have tended to not board him. Osvaldo and his family were AMAZING with our dog. They were petting him, he was sleeping at their feet, and they were taking him for walks in the park--something he never does well. We loved all the updates, his home was set up for taking care of dogs, and he had other dogs to play with while we were gone--something he loves. I think Osvaldo is a dog whisperer. Magic--sheer magic! Even our dog trainer couldn't get these results from him. We are forever indebted and will use him again!”

“Stefanie was awesome! She agreed to meet with me and my two dogs to see how they did with her and her dog. Everything was fine and she did a great job with them. She did a great job. She sent me a few pics of my dogs chillin and they looked great. I am sure they had a great time. I would recommend Stefanie and will definitely be using her again!”

“Dan and Angela did a fantastic job watching our dog while we were on vacation. They sent updates and pics which made us feel super comfortable. Great people and definitely booking with them again!!!”


“Sherilynn was great. We did a meet and greet and then set up the visit time for drop off and pick up. She kept me informed on Kira’s visit and how everything was going. Will definitely use her again.”
“Kim was great with our pup, Maggie. We felt so at ease with her having fun in a great environment while we were away. She clearly knows how to handle dogs of all kinds and her family takes great care. We will definitely use and recommend Kim again!!”

“We recently boarded our dog with Melanie and it was a great experience. Melanie and her family were so nice to work with and did a great with Maya. We liked getting updates and pictures while she stayed there. Highly recommended.”

“I believe our dog thinks of staying with Jill as staying at Jill’s as staying at his second home with his second family! So wonderful for us to be able to leave town and not feel any guilt about leaving our dog when we go on vacation.”

“These guys are great! Very caring & attentive! Sent us a few pics while we were gone that put our minds at ease & even took Coco for a walk. Looking forward to them keeping her next time. Thank you for the great care of Coco!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clive
Elizabeth and her family were amazing! We had an excellent experience. She is very communicative and was so kind to set up a meet and greet. They have a backyard that’s totally fenced in with a doggie door - what a perfect set up! She sent pictures and videos daily and took the best care of our baby. We would love to have Coop stay here again in the future.

This was my first time using Rover and I was very impressed with how easy it was to find a great sitter. Melanie was great! I got daily updates on Bella’s stay and could tell she was having a great time! Can’t wait to use her again in the future. Thanks Melanie for taking care of our little Bella!

We boarded cats for the first time. We went here after looking at more traditional businesses. The space in those looked limited and not inviting. The environment at Lisa's was much better with lots of space and options. She was friendly, sent photos and gave us updates. Would use again.
Rachel and her family truly made my dogs a part of their family. They always kept me up to date and sent so many pictures. Their daughter even drew me a picture that said “Thank you! I ❤️ S+S” it was so sweet! This was our second time having them watch our pups and I highly recommend them!

Mary was very responsive to all questions and need for our 9 1/2 year old golden retriever. Maya had a great time with Mary, and she can be a bit anxious at times when she doesn't feel loved or cared for. Maya came home happy and at ease, which speaks volumes for the care Mary provided. Highly recommend.

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.

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 Pet Boarding in Clive on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 399 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Clive. About 92% of Clive sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
