“Myle provided my pup with the most love and attention and I couldn't be happier that I found her here on Rover! The peace of mind that she provided me over the holiday weekend was priceless! Blessed.”
“What a wonderful feeling to take a vacation and know our Lacey is in good hands with Josh. She stayed with Josh and we didn't worry about her once. He walked with her and played with her and made sure she had everything she needed. Thank you...thank you....thank you Josh for your care of our Lacey Lou! I would highly recommend him!!!”
“Hatchers stay here was great. He had other pups to play with and got plenty of social time. I got regular updates as well which is very nice. 10/10 would recommend Susan for a sitter for your pup!”
“Steve was an exceptionally good dog sitter for our two dogs. They had never spent overnights with a different person, so we were not sure how it would go, but Steve was really good with them. He sent us texts and pictures more than once a day to reassure us they were in good shape. He was kind and friendly with them, going above and beyond to care for them. We highly recommend Steve and will certainly seek him out for future sittings.”
“We are SO grateful for Kat. She allowed our Dakota to stay in her home for a week while we were away for our wedding. Before the week vacation began, I was so nervous to leave Dakota with someone I didn’t know, we’d never done that before. Though, Kat went above and beyond. She moved plants around in her home to help keep Dakota safe. She allowed Dakota to drink water from the sink, like she does at home, to help keep Dakota happy! During the stay, she sent pictures and updates each day. And at the end, she had everything packed and ready to go for me upon pick up! It couldn’t have been a better experience and Kat a more perfect sitter. We will definitely be asking Kat for her help in the future! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“I have two small dogs. One of them is super sweet and everybody’s favorite. The other is standoffish and identifies as Houdini. They both did very well staying for almost a week at Katrina‘s house. When they came back home they were calm, with no signs of anxiety. I have had to use dog sitters three times this year already. This was the first time with Katrina. They did much better with her. She seems to genuinely enjoy having them stay with her.”
“Paul and his son did an amazing job caring for my dog! I felt like we were long lost friends by the time I left when I dropped Kitty off because they are so personable and kind! Paul sent videos and kept in contact with me throughout her stay. Paul went above and beyond by making Kitty some homemade food when I miscalculated and she ran out. I would hands down recommend Paul to anyone looking for a sitter that pays individual attention to your fur baby!”
“Anastasiia was EXCELLENT!! Communication was great and she included daily pictures and videos. My dog has anxiety during storms and she was very compassionate with him. I couldn’t be happier with the way she treated Chipper!!”
“Laylah watched my dog Oreo for a week while I was away on a trip. She sent pictures and videos of him, and I could tell that he was having the best time! We will definitely be booking with her again!!”
About: Hello, my name is Crystal. I'm conveniently located in Monticello, Iowa. It's halfway between Cedar Rapids and Dubuque. I've been around animals my whole life, especially dogs and cats. Growing up, we had quite a variety of pets. We had various tropical fishes, dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even snakes. I am a reliable, trustworthy, and detail oriented person. I will provide your loved one(s) with the best care while looking after them. You can contact me anytime for a Meet & Greet. I'm available for short & long-term care. My hours are flexible because I mostly work from home. This allows me to provide immediate care, lots of attention, and repeat help when needed. I believe that Communication is key for trust. Your pets safety, and environment are my #1 priority. I'll regularly send updates with photos. Let me know how you like things done.
“Laura and her family worked out great for our 2 pups. She was available on short notice and was a very good communicator, which we really appreciated. We scheduled a meet/greet prior to the booking and were very comfortable with Laura, her 2 pups, and her home. Our pups really enjoyed playing in her fenced backyard and lounging on her deck. When indoors, Laura’s home was super comfortable and accommodating for their needs. We would definitely recommend Laura’s services and rebook with her, if needed.”
“Gillian was so sweet and loving and kept me up to date with all my pups daily activities. She responds quickly and knows a lot about puppies which was very helpful for us. Will be using her again :)”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
About: I’ve watched many dogs and two cats over the past 4 years usually over family friend vacations. I’ve worked with reactive dogs as well as two young puppies. I spoil my dogs and would be happy to treat your pets with just as much love! I am a part time college student so I have a TON of time to pet sit! As I prepare for dental school in the fall, I will also be free for summer work. I love staying with dogs in either an environment they are used to or my own depending on what the pet parent prefers! There is a fenced in dog park behind my apartment that is never occupied where I run around with dogs. If it is occupied, I would walk around the park nearby with lots to smell on the trail. I also love giving dog baths, so that could totally be included!

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 Martelle 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 Martelle.
<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 Martelle 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.
