“Mark and his family were amazing with our dog! It was the first time we'd ever left him with anyone else, so we were a bit nervous when we dropped him off. Mark sent photos throughout the weekend letting us know how Griffin was doing, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to take good care of our good boy.”
“Our dog Barley was his happy self when we picked him up. Well cared for. Will send photos if you ask. Barley gets excited when arriving at Karen’s place so we know he likes it there.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ruth on Rover! She was able to take our dog, Millie, on very short notice, which we really appreciated. From the moment we dropped Millie off, Ruth made us feel comfortable and confident that Millie was in great hands. Millie clearly had a great time during her stay. Ruth took excellent care of her and made sure she felt right at home. We really appreciated the photos Ruth sent while we were away—it was great to see how happy and comfortable Millie was. It looked like Millie had a blast going on walks and even getting to enjoy some car rides. We’re very grateful that Ruth was able to help us out with a last-minute booking and provide such great care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog, and we would gladly book with her again!”
“We left our puppy with Mya while on vacation and she was wonderful! She has a great fenced-in yard and you can clearly see that Mya has a love for animals! We will definitely use Mya again!”
“We have used Lottie twice now and feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. She is very quick to respond, easy to communicate with and sends photos/updates while watching our dog.”
“She is a really good host. Right from the start itself their dog and our dog connected as they both are of same breed. She was really caring and gave us intermittent updates as well with photos and text of how our dog was doing. Her whole family got connected to our dog really well and provided a homely feeling for our dog. Will definitely recommend them and will like to rover with them again.”
“Cassandra far exceeded our expectations! This was the first time leaving our puppy with someone so we were nervous at first, however, the second we met Cassandra we were at ease. You could tell immediately how much she loved dogs. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and we could tell she loved him as if he were her own. My puppy seemed so happy and content with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! She was amazing!”
About: I've taken care of and owned many dogs over the years. I have had pets all of my life, dogs, cats, fish, turtles, guinea pigs...you name it! Neighbors, friends and family have continuously entrusted my wife and I to care for their pets. We will board only one family’s dog(s) at a time so you can be sure they get the attention they need. Our four kids are age 7-13 and will also provide extra attention and playtime for your dog. With six in the household you can rest assured knowing your dog will have attention at all times. Our 4 acre yard provides ample space for leashed exploring and there is abundant wildlife in the area providing new smells to investigate. Your dog will be walked a minimum of once in the morning and once at night with bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours or as needed. During the week my wife and I have the ability to work from home to provide care for your dog during the day. We do require dogs to potty trained and not have a history of aggression. They also need to be trained to not chew on non toys unless they are still puppies which we fully understand and can work with! We look forward to having an opportunity to meet you and keeping you pets well loved! No matter what our day looks like, there is always someone available to provide the attention and consistency of car for your dog(s), which is the number one priority. We also have a furnished basement that can be closed off if needed. Or a quiet capped garage and workshop room depending on the sleeping arrangements your dog is accustomed to. If you could please let me know of any special needs your dog may require or want.
“Such an Awesome sitter when you needed. Very inviting during our meet and greet. Her dogs are very respectful and well trained by Kylie. Our Lulah was able to connect very quickly with Romeo and Shadow. We were video prompt through out the day which is awesome as well. We highly recommend Kylie as a to go Dog Sitter (Boarding). Very clean and organized home for Dogs. Thank you Much Kylie!!!”
“JoAnna and her whole family went out of their way to really welcome Loki into their home. A puppy learning to stay away from home for the first time and interact with new people and dogs is a big step. I really appreciate the consideration they gave Loki.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more! I love all animals and will treat them with love and all the snuggles. I can administer inhalers for animals, and other medications. My dog and cat are very sweet and love having other animals visit. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work from home, and can care for your pets with the flexibility they require. I love going for walks and spending time outdoors. I have a large yard, and many rooms to keep your pets feeling safe and comfortable. My dog and cat are both friendly and enjoy when other animals come to visit.
“Our dog Luna loved staying with Flor! They kept us updated with how she was doing with fun photos and videos. They took her on walks and out to play at the dog park. Our Luna also loved their sweet dog and kitten. 😊❤️❤️”
“Nora was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times and communicated throughout our long weekend away. Trustworthy and dependable and no doubt Lilly had so much fun with the kitties 😊 would definitely use her again! Thanks Nora!”

Dubuque dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cassandra was amazing! From the moment we connected, we loved her vibe and felt confident leaving our little fur buddy in her care. It was clear she has great experience with dogs, and the fact that she has pets of her own made us feel even more at ease. Otis felt right at home immediately and even got to meet Stephen the cat, which made the whole experience even more fun for him. He was thrilled to have a new friend! We really appreciated Cassandra's quick responses and regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It means so much to know your pet is happy and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Cassandra to watch Otis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Our little Wrigley had such a great time with Katie and her husband! They were so attentive to him and sent regular updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. They have a wonderful dog of their own, with whom Wrigley immediately became friends, and a big yard for outdoor play time! We all missed him while we were on vacation, but also all agreed he had his own little vacation! We will definitely be using them again!
Kathryn did an excellent job with our little girl. We never had a worry and knew she was in great hands from our first meeting (same day as dropping her off). Home was well kept and yard was perfect for any dog! Thank you Kathryn & we will be using you again real soon!!
