“We highly recommend Danny if you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter! She frequently updated us throughout the day and made sure to send pictures of Bean often! We cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our pup!”
2. Ashley D.
“Ashley and her family were absolutely wonderful! My normally anxious dog was excited to return each day to see Ashley and spend the day with her. Ashley sent regular picture updates, communicated thoroughly, and was flexible with pick up/drop off hours. My dog loved having children and their cat to interact with, backyard time, and Ashley’s company on the couch while she worked from home. My dog came home in a great mood each day, no anxiety at all like with daycare facilities. We will absolutely book with Ashley again!!”

“Jason is great! Very prompt with communication and open availability! Bellamy has a great time playing with Timber and other dogs and comes back home tired and ready for a nap! Plenty of outside breaks and keeps him well hydrated which I really appreciate. I’m looking forward to continue bringing Bellamy to him!”

“Dan has been a great friend of mine, but also a fantastic sitter for Peppy. He’s thorough on taking care of him during his stay and accommodate his needs. Dan is also a pet owner currently and does so well. He is very responsible and takes time to give pets attention and cares for them appropriately. They would be in amazing hands with him.”
5. Kasey B.
“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”

12. Travis V.
“Wow. Travis was great! I was just in town from Chicago to see a play and reached out with maybe 30 minutes notice. I immediately felt comfortable with how calm and good natured he was with Kensley. This was her first rover experience! And mine. And was so happy with Travis who also sent cute pictures of Kensley hanging out with his dog and one other who is a regular visitor in his home. Highly recommend!!! If I’m ever back in iowa city/coralville and Kensley needs a sitter, Travis will be my first choice.”

“Marina is the most loving and attentive animal person! Ive watched her care greatly for her own pets as well as other’s. She is responsible and trust worthy. She will not fall short of fulfilling your needs to care for your pet.”
17. Samantha W.
“Sam is a great dog sitter! Our dog Lilo is very timid of other people other than her owners. With Sam, Lilo opened up right away and just loved Sam to pieces. Sam worked slowly with Lilo letting her get use to the new surroundings when we dropped her off and was patient in getting her collar on. I would recommend Sam to anyone who is looking for a reliable, kind hearted, dog sitter.”
18. Katherine B.
“Katherine is an exceptional caregiver of children and animals. She nannies for a job, and is loved greatly by the families she works for. She also has dog-walking, dog-sitting, and cat-sitting experience. In addition to this, she is an animal lover at heart. She just said goodbye to a beloved cat of 15 years, and dotes continuously on her 7 year old dog. I can't think of a better fit to lovingly care for and walk doggos than Katherine.”
19. Cameron B.
“I would trust Cameron with my puppy, Ari, any day any time. He provides a fun and loving environment with plenty of toys and lots of pets. Ari’s favorite toy, lamb chop, was one of many gifts from Cameron. I’m constantly asking for advice on the best tools for a safe environment for Ari. Cameron is very knowledgeable when it comes to communicating with dogs in a calm and loving way that helps them understand commands. He is the best!”
20. Kate R.
“Kate R. is the quintessential dog lover/parent! She has taken care of our dogs in the past with conscientious loving care, even when they have been on medications. Our dogs run to her eagerly when they see her. I definitely recommend Kate to take care of your dogs when you need a sitter.”
