Doggy Day Care in Iowa City

“Trish is a dog whisperer! I am in IC from Colorado to help my mom with surgery and needed a place for my rowdy 8 month old Aussie/Great Pyrenees to play during the day. Trish loved her like her own pup and sent lots of updates. Hazel came home tired and smiling every day.”

“Jason is so thoughtful and kind. He kept me updated and I so appreciated his care. With 3 cats and 2 dogs we know Jason’s a true animal lover! He was so good with my new dog/puppy(15 months) today. I’ve only had Santos since Monday afternoon. So everything is a new journey and Jason gets to be part of Santos new life! Thank you Jason”

About: We have had 2 dogs for quite some time. Cody always had a pet in the home growing up and we have had our dogs since they were puppies (the oldest is 8 years old). We are willing to give any medicines and we brush our own dogs teeth at night, so we can do yours if you would like! Cody works from home, and Ashley is home most of the time so we will be willing to work with you and what your pup needs! We have a single family home with a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies ourselves to keep your pet company! We also have a doggy door to the backyard if your pup knows how to use it :) We do not crate our own dogs but are willing to crate your pup if that is the preference. We usually take our dogs on 4 walks per day, lasting about 30 minutes each walk plus free roam in the backyard.

“Fantastic experience. She gives us updates throughout the day. Our dog got very comfortable with her, and she was very receptive to all of our instructions. He comes back tired every time. Thank you!”

“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”

“Benji had a blast at Danny’s home. Thank you, Danny, for sending pictures of Benji playing with your doggo!! I’m sure Benji is looking forward to another fun play date.”

“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!”

“Auden was so great!!! She communicated multiple times a day and was very accommodating when I messed up my booking. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!!!!!”

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to Robert and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and service he provided. Robert is truly a dog lover! From the moment I reached out to Robert on Rover.com, his professionalism and prompt communication stood out. He was quick to respond to my inquiries, and we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for my dog's needs and personality. I appreciated his attention to detail and the genuine interest he showed in getting to know my dog's habits, preferences, and any specific instructions. Robert provided a safe and comfortable environment for my furry companion, treating my dog as if they were their own. Regular updates, including photos and videos, were sent to me, allowing me to see that my dog was happy and content while in their care. This level of communication brought peace of mind, especially when I had to be away from my pup for an extended period. He made sure my dog received plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to Robert for any future dog-sitting needs!”

“Henry & Kaylie were awesome! Our two doggies loved being there. They took extra time to make sure our older gsd was comfortable. They kept us updated with texts and photos the entire time. We highly recommend this amazing couple!”

“Sidney took great care of our puppy, Bean! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and how Bean was doing! I would highly recommend Sidney if you’re looking for a good sitter!”

“Edward and his family did a great job watching my 2 dogs for a day of daycare! He was responsive and super easy to work with. Loved the photos and updates sent throughout the day. And I know the dogs got extra special cuddles from his kids! Will absolutely be a repeat customer!”

“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.”

“Wow! Nicole is a fabulous dog sitter. She took great care of our Lucy. She administered meds, kept her fed, and made sure she had everything she needed. Nicole was wonderful about keeping us posted on how Lucy was doing and sent us numerous photos and videos. Lucy always looked like she was having fun on the walks, rides, playtime, etc. The house and yard looked clean and well-kept. I really felt that Lucy was totally safe and loved. I highly recommend Nicole as an A+ dog sitter!”

“Chloe is very loving and compassionate with animals. She grew up in a house with both dogs and cats and also helped to foster kittens from the ARL. She has a lot of experience caring for pets and always does a great job!”

“Natalie and her crew took great care of our boys. We felt so at ease leaving them with her for the day. Next time we are through coralville we be sure to book a stay for our boys in her home”

“Faith is a loving, caring, kind, responsible, and safe dog sitter for any dog because she is consistently all of these things for her own dogs. She grew up with big dogs (Weimaraner and Standard Poodles) and currently has one of her own (a 1-year-old Goldendoodle). Faith singlehandedly raised her own puppy; she devoted time and used her good instincts to teach him to become the incredible dog he is today: loved, loving, and well-behaved. Faith is a wonderful dog-sitter. Any dog in her care is in GOOD HANDS (she is an ICU nurse, after all!).”

“Christine was great with My Felix. He enjoyed snuggling up with her daughter. He seemed to really have a good time protecting their home like a watch dog. But I would definitely book again in the future.”

“A real animal lover and great with all pets. She will take the time to connect with you pet and make them feel loved while you're away.”

About: I have much enthusiasm for helping people and pets out, am experienced in babysitting, and work well when under pressure and memorize instructions very quickly! Recently graduated from undergrad, I’m currently a part time student at another university (fully online, only one class) so I have virtually all the free time these days ! I give my full attention to the pets, and I have a secure home with various ways for them to enjoy spending their time either playing or simply resting.
