“Victoria was amazing!!! Our family had a medical emergency and Victoria came to the rescue by taking both of our dogs within minutes of us submitting the request. She provided our dogs with great care and provided constant communication.”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Rover sitter, Mallory! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away. It was clear that our dog was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. The biggest compliment we can give is that our dog came home calm, relaxed, and happy, a sure sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for during his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Mallory again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”
“Melody was great with Bucky! She was very flexor with our schedule and helped watch my dog while traveling for the holidays. Extremely friendly. Would let he watch Bucky anytime.”
“Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.”
“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!”
“So glad we found Beth. Her and her husband took such great care of our Cici! I could tell she was very comfortable with them when I picked her up, she was so relaxed! And it was so nice to see the pics and updates she sent periodically. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
About: I have had very few years of my life without the company of a pet - first, growing up with dogs, and now taking care of other people's dogs (and cats). I often have a Golden Retriever who likes to staycay with me when his mom is away. I have boarded Golden Retrievers, Corgis, Bull Mastiffs, Chihuahuas, to name a few! I am also experienced at administering medication. Your little (or big) one will enjoy the creature comforts of a little townhome with a large area to play and exercise. Because I'm located just a couple of blocks from Gifford Park, babies who love the outdoors are just minutes away from a luxurious sprint or smelling who is new in town. When it's time to unwind, the indoors are just right. Beds and couches galore allow for a relaxing way to end the day. All cheekiness aside, I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am currently taking a chance on a new path into a career I've always dreamed about but never had the time to pursue. At this stage in my life, I'm ready finally to try it! Animals are like children, and they come first. When they are with me, they know it! Regular vet visits, exercise, attention, healthy food, and mental stimulation are a must at my house, and I treat every animal as my own. If someone leaves me in charge of the safety and well-being of their beloved pet, I take that responsibility as high as a person possibly can. Physical safety is not my only concern. I hope to make these times away from you feel less stressful for your loved one. I am sure to give them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe until you return.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hancock home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hancock.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hancock sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
