“I would hire Helen again in an instant and I will in the future. It was such a peace of mind having her checking in on our fur babies. She went above and beyond to make sure they were okay.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I got my first pup at age 5, and I’ve been raising and caring for them ever since. Our home includes a 7-year-old mini Frenchie who’s a pro at reading the room - she loves a good play session but also knows when to give other dogs their space. My 3.5-year-old is growing up with the same love for dogs and has learned to respect boundaries and recognize when it’s time to play or give pets their space. Your dog will be treated like family here, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, dog-savvy household that understands every pup is unique. We have a fenced-in backyard for as much outdoor play your pup may require. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’m around throughout the day to provide attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My routine naturally revolves around my own pup’s needs, so caring for your dog fits seamlessly into our daily flow. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or just hanging out together while I work, your dog will have consistent supervision and plenty of quality time. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My 20-pound mini Frenchie is always up for a playmate when the vibe is right, but she’s equally content to let other pups do their own thing. For peace of mind, we’re just 8 minutes from the nearest emergency vet, so immediate care is readily accessible if ever needed.
“Thank you for always being so wonderful with her. Nova has definitely become so attached to you, and she has been so happy every time I get home after a long day at work. We truly appreciate you more than you know. She is definitely going to miss you after tomorrow!”
“Kristyna was great! She was attentive, sent plenty of updates and pictures to keep us informed and had great communication. Will definitely rebook in the future knowing our cats were well cared for.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, mostly dogs but a few cats as well. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I’ve had pets on both ends of the size spectrum. My sweet girl passed away last fall, I miss the companionship but not quite ready to adopt again emotionally. In the meantime, I spend as much time as possible loving any dog I can! I’m currently in between jobs and considering a career change so my days are wide open. My day starts with a walk around the neighborhood with my senior greyhound, but she’s typically done for the day after that, leaving me lots of time to spread the love. I understand that each dogs needs are specific to their backgrounds and breeds, therefore I strive to accommodate each dog so that they can be happy and healthy and their parents can be put at ease.
“Alexis was so caring and took such good care of our dog, Finn. She communicated regularly and provided fun pictures of him while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Alexis”
“Brianna is amazing we have used her services countless time and she cas continued to respect our home and treat our fur babies like her own! 10/10 recommend! Thank you Brianna!!”
“It is my second time to book with Eva & Kallven and I can say that we feel more at ease knowing that Truman is in good hands. Will definitely book with them on a regular basis”
“This was our first time using the app, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly kind. She took amazing care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We received thoughtful updates, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Ashley truly exceeded our expectations, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we trust. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our babies. We are so thankful that you could be here while we were out!! Thanks for helping us by listening to the ways that we care for them and following through so they could be as comfortable as possible while we were away.”
“I’m so happy with the care provided for my three cats! They took the time to make sure each of them felt comfortable, and it was clear right away that the cats trusted them—they warmed up very quickly, which says a lot. They made sure the cats ate well and were looked after with attention and kindness. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic sitter! They took great care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We felt completely at ease while away and would gladly book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Finally got this App to work!!! Thanks for a fantastic visit session! My boys looked as happy as they would be with me! Keep up the amazing work and thanks again! 😊😊😊😊☺️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Iowa Colony
I LOVE Kristyna! A few years ago, she cared for my German Shepherd dog King, before his passing. And she did an amazing job! Recently, we booked her for our two new German Shepherds, Jax and Koda. Jax loves everyone, and of course, grew a liking to her quickly. However, Koda doesn’t give anyone a chance at a first meeting. Even though he’s a one year old 80 pound baby, he looks and can be very intimidating. But Kristyna was very patient with him. She eventually won him over, which says a lot about her care for animals. She is also very responsive and will go out of her way to help you. Our flight got cancelled at the last minute, and I contacted her in the late night to see if she was available to do one last visit. Kristyna did not hesitate to say YES! I am SO grateful and happy to add her to our family dynamics. Book her! You won’t be disappointed!❤️
Thank you Maria for taking care of our 2 dogs!!! She checked in and has stayed in our home and left everything perfectly clean. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Bo and Maverick love spending time with her and will absolutely book with her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Iowa Colony stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
