They have watched my dog multiple times now! I won’t go to anyone else but Erin and Chris to watch my fur baby! They take care of him like he is their own dog. My dog loves to be at their house! I get daily picture updates and it always looks like he is having the time of his life. He truly gets treated like a king at their house❤️. If you are deciding who to book with, book with Erin and Chris. I promise you won’t be disappointed🤗

We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.

Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.

I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!

Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.

Scott did an amazing job with my dog Happy. I am so blessed to have had a safe place for my dog to stay for 4 days. This was the first time I have ever used rover because my dog normally always travels with me, so I was hesitant. But I am SO thankful and grateful that I did. Scott updated me on happy and his meals every day by sending pictures and messages. I would 10/10 recommend Scott to anyone. Thanks Rover & thanks Scott! ?

About: I have always had multiple dogs in my family. I am an animal lover! I now have a dog of my own, an almost 2-year-old Goldendoodle named Waffles. He loves all people and animals! I work on Monday-Thursday, so my Fridays are open as well as most weekends. I am very flexible during the week if needed as well. I work close to home on Monday-Thursday and come home on my lunch break to let my dog out. My apartment has a dog park with an enclosed fence. We take Waffles there daily. It is very safe and there is usually only one animal at a time. We live in a safe, family-friendly area.

Ashley and Ozzie took good care of our dog while we vacationed. We appreciated the photos they sent along with updates on how it was going. I was nervous about leaving him but they put my mind at ease with their reassuring words.

We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.

I am so glad I found Lucia to watch my puppy, Daisy! She sent regular updates throughout her stay. Daisy was well-loved and well-taken care of. Lucia was willing to meet with us ahead of time to make sure it was a good match. This is the first time I have left Daisy with someone other than family or a friend, and I was a little nervous. But, I can tell she was so well taken care of. There were a few other dogs there at the same time as Lucia (a couple are hers and the other was another Rover pup), which was heaven for my dog. She returned home better-behaved and even sweeter than when I left her. We will definitely use Lucia again and would recommend her to anyone.

I would highly recommend Patty. She is very responsive, and would send lots of pictures and videos while our dog was with her. Prior to booking she let us do a meet and greet, which was great so we could meet her and her dog. We knew out dog was in good hands.

Elizabeth was amazing! My dog Chewie stayed at her house for 6 days and he had so much fun. She kept me updated and sent me pictures every day. She's got a backyard so he was able to run around with all his new dog friends and get his energy out. I will definitely go to her again when we need to.

This was my first time looking for a sitter and I am a first time pet owner so you can imagine the worries of making sure you found a good sitter! Sue was the first and only sitter i got in touch with! She is extremely friendly, and a great communicator, I even did a pre-trip visit with my cat bento to where he would be staying with her! After leaving bento with Sue for over a week, it is safe to say that Sue is the best at what she does, I would never look for another sitter again!

Amazing experience. Our dog gets homesick but Alexandra was there to help him adjust while we were out of town. He LOVED the big backyard and his new dog friend. Thank you for taking such care of our dog and giving us updates along the way - you went above and beyond.
