Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dubuque
We just met Cassandra, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our sweet 16-year-old three-legged pup during the four days we were away. Caring for a senior dog takes someone with a truly special heart, and Cassandra was exactly that. From our very first conversations, her thoughtful, responsive communication gave us complete confidence that we had chosen the right person. When we dropped Lily off, Cassandra had a calm, reassuring presence, that again, gave us complete peace of mind that Lily was in capable hands. Throughout the stay, we could tell Cassandra paid close attention to Lily’s unique needs and cared for her with the same love, compassion, and respect we do. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility of caring for them seriously. We are so grateful for the exceptional care Cassandra provided and wouldn't hesitate to trust her again with Lily. If you're looking for someone who is truly devoted to your pet's well-being, Cassandra is the perfect choice. We recommend her wholeheartedly!
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!!

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.

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.
