1. Kyra K.
“Kyra and her husband were INCREDIBLE for our dog, Oakley! We couldn’t ask for better people to watch Oakley and could really tell she was taken care of while we were gone, which meant we could fully enjoy our vacation. We got lots of pictures and great communication throughout her stay. We already have our next trip booked with Kyra and really, really appreciate how awesome she/her husband are! 10/10 stars, highest possible recommendation!! Thanks again!!!”
2. Briana M.
“She was so wonderful!! She sent us photos every day, and it was really clear he was being taken such good care of! She cuddled him up with blankets and stuffed animals. She sent us home with a painting with his paw prints on it. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!!”
3. Tashia H.
“Tashia took great care of our 14yr old dog while we were away. She needs a bit more attention and has a routine for eating, pills and going outside. We set up a meet and greet and Tashia took extreme care in meeting and getting to know our dog’s habits. Tashia sent pictures and updates while we were away to ease our concerns. Highly recommend Tashia.”
4. Sara D.
“Beautiful, Spacious, Clean home for my baby kitty to play around in. Responded very quickly to a somewhat last minute booking. Super nice and super sweet to baby Shadow. Offered everything to make him a little more comfortable. I did ask for pictures during the stay and she did not disappoint with making sure I know how he’s doing.”
5. Sarah F.
“AMAZING experience! It couldn't have been any better. Sarah was accommodating with both the pickup and drop off dates and times, as I had to make some changes. I asked if I could pick Max up a day early (on Christmas), and she made it happen and even offered to refund 1 of the days of our original booking without me even asking. She was so good with the communication, flexibility, pictures, etc. that I told her to keep it. She was worth every bit of what we paid for Max to stay with her. She will be our go-to from this point forward!”
6. Jacquelyn D.
“We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.”
7. Jenevieve Y.
“She was wonderful and I already rebooked with her. I got updates and I know that my dogs were happy. Her kids also helped and loved them. It was like they were just visiting in another family. They weren’t just in crates for days. They were with the family.”
8. Kayla K.
“Kayla provided lots of pictures/updates while our dog, Gator, stayed the night at her house, which was really appreciated! Her communication was great, and she was so understanding and helpful. She took great care of Gator and we would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
9. Lindsey R.
“Lindsey and family took excellent care of our pups and welcomed them like their own! Sweet family! Highly recommend! We will be requesting them again”
10. kristy h.
“Kristy was fantastic with my two pups! First time using rover and she was really accommodating when we had to make last minute changes to our reservation. I would highly recommend her!”
11. cathy r.
“Cathy was so kind! She took wonderful care of our dog and spent a lot of time playing outside with him. He came home happily exhausted. She also sent updates and pictures, and we never worried about him at all while we were gone.”
12. Rose A.
“Rose was amazing with my little Ava, she is a handful. They gave her lots of love and attention over the Christmas holiday. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was safe and loved. Thank you Rose and family.”
13. Ebonee H.
“My dog, Coal felt at home from the minute he got to Ebonee’s home. This transition made it easy for me to leave him while I went on vacation. I would highly recommend Ebonee! ?”
14. Leah P.
“Leah is a dog lover through and through! When we were kids, she wanted a dog so badly, she spent 4 months caring for a ceramic dog to prove to our parents she was responsible enough to have one. We used to have a dog of our own, he recently went to heaven and Leah wants to share her love with other pets here on earth. She has a special place in her heart for older dogs and loves making them happy. She will treat your dog just like she spoiled our pup for the 15 years we had him!”
15. Meagan C.
About: My husband and I are both entrepreneurs who work out of our home with very flexible schedules and are home all day with our dog, Hollis (Weimaraner, 1) and Share (Bugg, 14). We live on private, very secluded land and spend a lot of time outside with our Weimaraner! We have both grown up with dogs and are dog lovers! We've been around multiple breeds from Doberman's to Border Collies to Pugs. We used Rover ourselves and loved it and wanted to be able to offer the same to others in our area who are looking for a home away from home for their dogs so they can be at peace knowing their animal is well cared for and loved while enjoying a vacation, work trip or other life event. We are home everyday! My husband and I both work from home and have flexible schedules. We exercise our dogs 2-3 times per day and would do the same with yours as needed. Your pet will be cared for in our home with us! We will use a crate at night or if we have to leave for any reason. This is the same way we work with our own pets in our home. They sleep in their crate and go in when we leave the house.
16. Beth S.
“Beth and her husband took great care of Boss. She sent pictures of him settling in the first night and in his new favorite chair. They took great care of him, he got lots of walks and attention, and I hope I get to use them again next time we need a sitter in ankeny!”
17. Kati S.
“Kati & her family are just wonderful! They cared for Benji as if he was their own & we couldn’t be more grateful for that! We got plenty updates & Kati’s communication was open and honest! Would 100% recommend Kati to anyone needing boarding services and we will definitely use her again! Thank you SO much for the care you gave Benji, Kati!”
18. Jessica V.
“I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!”
19. Justin Z.
“Justin was great watching our dog Chase for a week! He added all the supplements into our dogs food daily, gave him 1:1 time, let him play everywhere (in his home and the backyard,) and sent us daily update photos and videos of Chase! When we first met Justin he asked appropriate questions about Chase and was very welcoming to us and Chase. We are extremely happy to have someone we completely trust to take care of Chase in the future!”
20. Erin & Chris R.
“Erin and Chris did an excellent job with our energetic little guy! They provided him with exceptional care and love. They went above and beyond to send us pictures through this stay, also! We would highly recommend them!”
