1. Jason W.
“Jason and his girlfriend took great care of our 8 month old puppy Ruby. His dog and Ruby played well together and he was thoughtful about how to take care of Ruby. He took her to the dog park a couple times which was appreciated! Thank you Jason we will rebook soon.”
2. Morgan K.
“Thank you so much Morgan for watching Ben and Rosie! She was an amazing sitter and went great lengths to ensure they enjoyed their stay. From daily walks, trips to the dog park, and cuddle time in bed, Morgan went above and beyond. She sent daily pictures of the two and kept us updated. We will definitely be using her again!”
3. Gina F.
“Gina is friendly and accommodating 😀. Her house is wonderful and very "puppy proof". There is space for the pups to play and a great selection of toys/bones. My dog made himself right at home during the meet & greet and didn't want to leave! 😅 She sent pictures/video during the stay. I also got sick during my trip and she was very kind to offer and drop Charlie off so I didn't have to drive there when I didn't feel good.”
4. Melia & Benjamin P.
“Melia and Benjamin took great care of our dog Zeus. Their friendly dogs were the best companions! He had great time with them. He came back even more energetic than he was before his stay with Melia and Benjamin! I would definitely recommend them! Thanks for raking care of our dog!”
5. Jake M.
“Jakes was so great with Cookie considering we only chatted a few times but having a meet up was great! Cookie came home happy and looked like she really enjoyed time with Jakes, especially playing fetch. Definitely will rebook again!”

“Stanley had a great time hanging out with Mirna and her husband. They are great hosts and took excellent care of Stanley. We are looking forward to our next booking with Mirna.”
7. Lori P.
“Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.”
8. Sarina M.
“Sarina is great and has a lovely apartment! She was good about sending updates and lots of pictures :) I would highly recommend her services.”
9. Travis V.
“Travis was an amazing sitter for my dog Paisley. He met with me for a meet and greet beforehand where we were able to discuss several things to make sure it was a good fit. He made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with him for the weekend and sent tons of pictures - which I appreciated so much! He gave lots of updates throughout the stay and made sure Paisley was comfortable and happy during her stay. I will be using Travis again when needing a dog sitter, I highly recommend!! Thanks Travis!”
10. Auden B.
“Auden did a great job caring for our small year old dog. She took him for walks and our dog loved playing with her dog. She even got our dog to go up and down the stairs on his own. Thanks for a wonderful experience.”
11. Abbey A.
“Thank you Abbey for watching our Aussiedoodle!! Abbey provided a great home and yard for Kelce to play in all weekend long. Affordable too! From the time we met her at the meet and greet, we knew our dog would be in good hands. We let her know our concern in regard to feedings and Kelce came back with almost no food left! That doesn’t typically happen when we leave our dog so I was thrilled. :)”
12. Danny P.
“Went above and beyond took great care of my pup definitely would recommend. Sent daily updates and cute pictures and best of all she didn’t put my pup in a cage the whole time so she was always able to stretch her legs whenever she wanted.”
13. Kasey B.
“This was the first time we used Rover, and I was so happy that we found Kasey and her family. It was obvious from the moment I met her and her family that they loved caring for animals. Pepper enjoyed his stay and was given such great care. Kasey was such a great communicator- I received several pictures and updates that made me realize that he was getting lots of attention and love. This really helped calmed my worries regarding him while I was away. I can't say enough great things about Kasey and her family but was so grateful for their willingness to take care of my dog like he was their own. Would definitely book with Kasey again- she was wonderful!”
14. Madison S.
“Madison was great to work with and gave us daily updates about our pup! She was easy to work with and went the extra mile on communicating :) Thanks!!!!”
15. Macy & Luke A.
“Charlie, loved his visit with Macy and Luke. When we met Macy, she immediately greeted Charlie with tender attention and warmth. We received cute photos while we were at the football game, and we didn't worry about him at all while he had his "sleep over:) When we picked Charlie up on Sunday morning, Macy was ready with him outside, and he seemed so calm and happy. Our dog has issues with anxiety, but it was immediately evident that he felt comfortable with Macy. Normally, he'd race to us with a "take me home" look, but he stayed by her side until we reached down to pick him up:). Our son is in grad school in Iowa City, and we would absolutely leave Charlie with Macy and Luke again while visiting town. We recommend them very highly.”
16. Ashley D.
“Ashley and her husband are wonderful people!! We have booked with them 3 times and will gladly book with them again. Can't recommend them enough!”
17. Sidney R.
“Sidney was really awesome. She suggested we meet before she cared for my Fur baby. We ended up meeting via FaceTime, she showed me me her clean and organized home which definitely gave me a nice piece of mind. She ask really important questions! Once she had Contess she followed up with me constantly, took my girl on multiple walks, sent me pictures and videos and Countess loves her and Humby (the other cute pup she was also sitting in her home).”
18. Victoria B.
“Victoria and her family did a wonderful job watching our dog! They made her feel right at home and set my mind at ease while we were gone on vacation. We will definitely contact them again in the future!”
19. Maegan R.
About: I have my own dog at home who I have grown up with. I have also grown up taking care of neighborhood dogs and my uncles dogs who I have taken care of since they were puppies. I have also taken care of many of my neighbors cats and other various pets. I am currently a full time student technically but I have a lot of open times that I would love to come hang out with some pets who just need some extra loving or taking care of. This also helps me have a break from life and focus on just spending quality time with some pets who are fun to be around. I always put the pet first. I make sure I remember times I went over or left and how long I have stayed at a residence so they have enough time outside of kennels or for play time. I want the pets to feel like they can be calm and chill or be crazy and I’ll play with them or walk them when they just need some energy out.
20. Joy R.
“Joy and her two chihuahuas welcomed Kili to their home and took great care of him for a week while we took a vacation. She was prompt, flexible, and willing to drive to us to pick him up/drop him off. Will definitely use Joy’s services the next time we plan a trip!”
