“Despite my last minute booking, she worked with us and even returned my wallet after I dropped it in the yard. Andrea made a good impression on our dog and assured me she could handle Romy. She was kind enough to send us pictures each day and adjusted furniture to for Romy, as our dog and another ran through the house. We were so impressed that a friend got word and asked for her information so that he could book his husky with her.”
“Ashley was very attentive to my 15 1/2 year-old miniature pincher. She provided Updates every day with PHOTOS. Chicago was very happy staying with Ashley. Looking forward to using her in the future.”
“I had an excellent experience with Johnny! He was incredibly friendly, kept me updated with great communication throughout my dog's stay, and made me feel completely at ease. It was clear my dog was well cared for and treated with kindness. The biggest sign of how wonderful the experience was? My dog came home happy, relaxed, and with absolutely no anxiety (like he usually does at other boarding places). I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust him to care for my dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Lacey was very attentive to our senior dog. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the week. He seemed really happy. We’ll be using her services on our next trip!”
“Shang went above and beyond in taking care of my dog. After realizing I forgot to bring vegs and other supplementary food I had packed, Shang facilitated the missing foods, giving that human touch and care.”
“Silvia and Jose we're great in boarding Maggie! We were right at ease from our very first meeting. Maggie is an elder dog that sometime requires a little more TLC and Emily and Jose provided that and more. We will definitely request their service again! 👍🏾👌✌🏽”

“I have nothing but great things to say about Timmesha and Joe’s Hospitality! We can tell Ghost found a second home. The video interactions kept us updated and eased our anxiety of leaving him. I definitely recommend there services for any of my fellow dog loving family and friends.”
“Very pleased with Michael and Dara. This was the first time I had to leave my two dogs with a pet sitter. They made me feel comfortable and less worried. I have a dog who needs meds twice a day and can be terrible about taking them. Michael made it work and kept his schedule. I received pictures and updates every day.”
“Carrie was beyond incredible—truly a lifesaver! She stepped in without hesitation for our last-minute emergency and took phenomenal care of our 2-year-old dog. This was his very first time away from home, and she made him feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable from day one. What meant the world to us was that she kept us updated every single day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We knew our pup was not just cared for, but truly cherished. If you’re looking for someone you can trust 100% with your pet, Carrie is the one—no hesitation, no second thoughts. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍”

Between the interactions with different animals and dogs to playing outside and in the water, we joke that he gets his own little vacation! Ashley is so kind provides lots of updates. We are so grateful for the care she provides Charlie!”

Ashley is absolutely amazing! I always have complete peace of mind knowing my Yorkies are in her care while I’m away. She is dependable, loving, attentive, and treats them as if they were her own. She keeps me updated, follows their routines, and makes sure they receive plenty of love and attention. My Yorkies adore her, which says everything! I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She truly goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for her!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful with Milo! From start to finish, she kept us completely at ease with regular updates and adorable photos while we were away. You can tell immediately how much she loves dogs, not just her own, but every pup in her care. I knew from the moment we met her that Milo was in the best possible hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be booking with her again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Iowa Colony sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Iowa Colony landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Iowa Colony 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 Iowa Colony.
Tip: 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 Iowa Colony 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 TX 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.
