About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I've had two huskies, an old english bulldog, a border collie, and a pomeranian. My current husky uses a weighted vest to wear him down. And I even attach him to a bike for his runs I work for old time but I have reduced hours in the winter and can easily watch other dogs January through March. I'm already taking my husky on daily walks or attaching him to my bicycle for run even in the winter. There are two of us in my home, and one of us is typically home by two PM. I have a privacy fence for my backyard on two out of three sides. Pictured is the low spots I have in case your dog is a jumper. I've watched relatives dogs for up to two weeks at a time in the past.

We had such a great experience with Ashly! She took amazing care of my two dogs and kept me updated with pictures throughout their stay, which I really appreciated. They seemed so happy and comfortable with her, and it made being away from them so much easier knowing they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using Ashly again if she’ll have us!

Big thanks to Alexandra for taking such good care of my boy! She was able to accommodate a near last minute request when my prior arrangements fell through just a week before my vacation, and was very understanding when a delayed return flight out of Chicago meant an extra night of boarding. Thanks! Artoo can't wait to visit again.

Edie was a total pro with my very fussy / picky / anxious girl, who trusted Edie right away. Edie went the extra mile for her -- literally -- as she gave her amazing long walks which was invaluable. I felt super assured knowing my dog was in very capable hands which there is no better feeling when your dog is away. Thank you Edie!

Elizabeth and her family were amazing! We had an excellent experience. She is very communicative and was so kind to set up a meet and greet. They have a backyard that’s totally fenced in with a doggie door - what a perfect set up! She sent pictures and videos daily and took the best care of our baby. We would love to have Coop stay here again in the future.

Mary was very responsive to all questions and need for our 9 1/2 year old golden retriever. Maya had a great time with Mary, and she can be a bit anxious at times when she doesn't feel loved or cared for. Maya came home happy and at ease, which speaks volumes for the care Mary provided. Highly recommend.

Andrea took great care of our dachshund, Cari, while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. She sent us updates and photos during Cari’s stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and she was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Cari came home calm, and all of her belongings were returned in great condition. We would definitely trust Andrea to care for Cari again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you again, Andrea!

Mandy usually is very anxious when left anywhere but she seemed quite happy and content with Alicia and her family. Mandy also liked her dogs, Bennie and Mila, which helped keep her from being anxious. Alicia provided pictures and updates which gave us much comfort. I highly recommend this sitter and will use her again when she is available.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lovington home-away-from-home, 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 Lovington.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lovington 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 , 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 .

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 IA 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.
