“Crystal took great care of elderly dog and our 9-month old puppy for a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates. You can tell she loves dogs and treats them all like her own.”
“I had previously only had amazing experience, in light of recent experiences they will be the only sitters I trust to care for my pup. They went above and beyond for me on limited notice due to a family medical emergency. They provided myself and my family with such relief during a traumatic experience and I can never fully thank them.”
“I used Samantha to watch my pup for me when I went out of town. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. Samantha is someone that clearly has experience taking care of animals and will frequently send updates and pictures during the stay. I’m so thankful for Samantha and I would HIGHLY recommend if you need someone dependable. Also, be prepared for your dog to get depressed when you get there to pick them up because they don’t want to leave.”
“We just moved to town and feel so fortunate we found Nicole to dog sit. Our dog can be very hesitant of new people and scared to death of fireworks. Her whole family went above and beyond to take care of Magic over the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend”
“I had Jennifer keep my little guy over night, and want to say that she is just the person for the task. She loves dogs, and I knew she’d take care of him like her own. And upon pick up he was happy and taken care of! Thanks Jennifer!”
“My Frenchie, Zizou, stayed with Angela for about 11 days. Angela was so open and flexible with all the needs our Frenchie had with his medications and little quirks. She communicated well with us during Zizou’s stay. Our puppy looked healthy and calm when we got back. I would definitely recommend Angela!”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in jr high school. I currently have 1 dog 3 fish, and 2 humans I keep alive! I'm patient, I have lots of energy but also like to chill if that's what your pup would prefer! I've recently made some major lifestyle changes to make myself more flexible and accessible for my family! This gives me the chance to be available about anytime of day. I would love to meet you and your pets! At this point my calendar is fairly open, I am flexible and willing to work with moving and changing schedules. Most of my day involves school pick up and off and being a taxi to evening dance classes, which is easily done with or around the schedule of an extra furry friend or 2. We have 1 Brittany. She she has full use of all upstairs furniture, a fully enclosed backyard and probably too many snacks! They are happy to welcome new friends to sit on their sofas!
“Jennifer went above and beyond to take care of my pup. He was unfortunately injured prior to his stay and she was willing to give him the extra care & attention he needed to include a trip to the vet! Highly recommend trusting Jennifer with your fur babes!”
“Had a great experience with Jodie Highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services. She treated my dog as her own and kept sending me regular updates. She cares so much and went above and beyond to ensure that my dog gets the best care. My dog came back so happy. Thanks Jodie for all you have done We greatly appreciate it”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our 7-month-old puppy, Leia! She kept us updated throughout our time away with frequent messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leia was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. We really appreciated Samantha’s communication and the care she showed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Bosun loves to stay with Nina! She is so attentive to him and informs us on a regular basis of their time together. She treats Bosun as if he is her own baby boy dog! We couldn’t be happier with the care he gets. Thank you Nina!”
“Carol was awesome - super easy to work with, went above and beyond, and our dog always looked so happy and well cared for in the picture she shared. She was a total joy, and we immediately added her to the top of our rebook list!”
“Katarina was awesome with Prince! I know he felt safe and at home. He definitely enjoyed his stay, she sent updates and pictures, and it was really helpful for her to puppy sit Prince. Would definitely recommend her and take Prince to her if needed again!”
About: We had our first family dog 10 years ago, and we had 5 more after that. When I moved out, I got my own wienee in 2025. I want my baby to socialize more with other doggies so I thought pet-sitting might help with that. He's such an energetic but shy puppy so it would be nice to see him play with dogs of his size. I mostly work day shift. I get home around 2PM so I am free after. That's also when I would usually take out my own dog, so if I pet-sit, I can take them together so they can run and play in the grass. I currently live with my boyfriend but he will be out at work on the times I'm available and I will take full responsibility on the dogs that I pet-sit. Food, play, and cuddles... LOTS OF CUDDLES. I am not trained to perform medication administration or CPR but I will do whatever it takes to save them when something unfortunate happens. I will treat all dogs I pet-sit as my own... I will love them with all my heart <3

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 McPaul 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 McPaul.
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 McPaul 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 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.
