“Jason was wonderful with my 3 month old Golden. His house was very puppy proofed and perfect for daycare. I appreciated all the updates, and the very detailed response Jason left after the sit. My favorite part was seeing Rocco play with Jason’s cats, I was so happy he got that socialization experience! Overall, I’d definitely recommend Jason!”
2. Morgan F.
“Ivory and coco love staying with Morgan! great communication throughout the day along with pictures updates, already booked next daycare with Morgan again, definitely recommend”
3. 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!!”
4. Danny P.
“We used Danny for both day care and boarding and couldn’t be happier. She really loves your animal like one of her own and takes excellent care of them.”
5. Marissa M.
“Marissa is a superb pet owner and will treat your dog like her own! She is active and will make sure your pup is not bored while you are away. And your pet will get to hang out with the sweetest dog ever, Theo, who is the best dog I think I may have ever met (my own dogs included lol).”
6. 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!”
7. 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.”
8. Auden B.
“Auden was very communicative with us, sending pics throughout the day, and seemed to understand what our dog liked best (being outside) and letting him do that. Auden was also willing to ask questions on how to best take care of our dog (he's blind). We greatly appreciated that approach to learning.”
9. Daniel F.
“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.”
10. Seth D.
“Seth was prompt, flexible, and courteous! Thanks for hosting our girlie for the day!”
11. Gina F.
About: I will love your fur babies like my own. I grew up on a farm, have my own pets, and my daughter is a dog groomer. They will be in good hands. If they are staying with me, Mon-Fri, I am able to walk them every 4-5 hours during the day, and every two hours in the evenings. On weekends, I’m available all day and night. I have two small, friendly dogs who I walk on leash several times a day. My dogs (& two cats) LOVE all the pets we’ve had visit our home…well the cats just watch us disapprovingly, but the dogs love them anyway! 😂
12. Laurel W.
“Scout had a great time at Laurel’s house! I could tell Scout felt comfortable right away & came back tuckered out after playing with Mabel all day. We will definitely use Laurel again in the future!”
13. 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.”
14. Jeanette R.
“Jeanette was excellent with our dog babies. We have a Great Dane and Mastiff mix which can both be a handful due to their size and our Dane has anxiety issues. Jeanette takes extra care to make sure he stays calm and gives him lots of love when we are out of town. We hire her whenever she’s in town.”
15. Anna R.
“Anna has provided overnight care in her home for my 2 dogs and has done an excellent job. One of my dogs is skittish around new people and Anna is great with her. I feel safe leaving them in her care.”
16. Sidney R.
“My very timid Smokey, who is afraid of everyone did great with Sydney & CJ. Will definitely use her services again. Our Smokey girl is our baby!”
17. Alexis B.
“Alexis went above and beyond to take care of our two pups in such short notice. She provided us with constant updates of our pups and they seem very happy and comfortable went we picked them up.”
