“Summer had a great time with Alex and Sarah! They kept us updated and sent us photos and videos regularly, which made us feel at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of Summer!”
“My dogs loved it at Elizabeth's! Every photo she sent they were either happily playing or totally relaxed(and the puppy can be a crazy demon at times). The older one has a bit of anxiety at times but she was at ease with Elizabeth. She was also responsive and accommodating. I would board with her again for sure!”
“Scrappy was pampered by Shannah, Nathan and the whole family. We were updated with photos of Scrappy cuddling on the couch, going on walks and happily playing with their little dog, Cleo. I highly recommend them to watch your pets. Sue M.”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful with Doja! She treated her like she was her own and really made her feel like part of the family. Doja is still young and VERY energetic, so I was honestly a little nervous about leaving her, but Mariah was amazing with her. She had nothing but good things to say about Doja and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. It was obvious that Doja was happy, loved, and spoiled while she was there. I will definitely be booking with Mariah every time we need someone to watch Doja. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! 🐾❤️”
“Traci is awesome! She took my dog in last min cause I had to go to a funeral and took great care of her. She sent photos daily and allow me to extend. Her family and home is very welcoming. Will definitely rebook with her.”
“Andrea did a wonderful job watching our dog Feyre. She was kind, communicative, and was intentional about making sure Feyre was given the best care! Our pups got along well, and we loved the daily updates she gave us. We will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to watch our girl!”
“Rigby loved his visit and playing with other dogs. He is a reactive dog so I appreciate knowing he can play well with other dogs. 😃. Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Michelle and her daughter cared for our two dogs for five days. We got pictures and updates often. The communication was very good. The dogs came home much less stressed than when we've boarded them, so that was great to see. We would book Michelle again.”
“Jonathan and Kera were great when watching Albert! They sent me lots of pictures and updates! They were very helpful in keeping up with Albert’s allergy medications and making sure he was comfortable! Definitely will book with them again!”
“This family is the best. Hannah and Will were so accommodating and kind and attentive to not only our dog but to us as well. This was the first time we used Rover in about 3 years so I was pretty particular. Hannah and her family were a perfect fit for our 4 yr old pup. They have two other dogs who were so playful and welcomed mine rt into their pack. They also have two young daughters who knew exactly how to safely approach our dog for the first time and all times after that. They were excellent listeners to their parents and were thoroughly excited to welcome our dog into their home. And within a few hours …maybe minutes…our dog was snuggling rt up to them. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent many photo updates! They even taught him to “stay” out of kitchen while they ate, as do their other 2 dogs. We have already booked her for July. Thank u Hannah and Will.”
“Amy took wonderful care of Finn while I was gone for a week. She sent pictures of him playing with the other dogs and checked in on how he was doing. I knew he was having a good time. I will definitely be using Amy again.”
“My dog loved being at her house. She immediately took to the occupants. There were toys galore that she spread all over the place. The pictures shared of her let me know she was doing great. Very positive experience for us.”
“Angela was super easy to work with. She was responsive, sent tons of photos and gave my little Lunar lots of love and attention during her short stay (along with her family). For an anxious doggie away from her home, that's all I can ask for (to keep her comfortable until I return).”

Mallory was an amazing dog sitter! Her communication was great, and she consistently sent me pictures and updates throughout Millie’s stay. As someone who is constantly worried about her pup when she’s away, the updates gave me so much peace of mind. I had such a great experience with Mallory and felt completely comfortable knowing Millie was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾💕
Olivia is so attentive and thorough with care instructions, has a beautiful back yard that my dog loved, and has a genuine love for animals that I could understand from our first meeting. My dog came home happy and freshly exercised, so I was able to relax immediately. Thank you Olivia!
Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 424 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Council Bluffs. About 95% of Council Bluffs 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
