Pet care experience

We just love dogs!

Hello! Our family has been "officially" dogsitting off and on for several years, first on dogvacay, and now rover.com. I have always had a special bond with animals since I was a little girl. When your pet is in our care we consider them our guest and cater to their every need. We make sure that kennel time is at a minimum and play time is to the max! On the weekends we will have walks to the park, and a baby pool in the backyard on hot days. West Liberty is a quiet, safe community located 5 miles off of interstate 80 between Iowa City, Muscatine, and the Quad Cities. Pick up and drop off services are available for a small fee. Hope to hear from you soon! Dana

Dana did AMAZING with my dog Kobe, he’s 145lbs and she treated him like her own baby. 10/10 would recommend anyone to have her dog sit! ❤️

The dog's were tired and worn out. And they're welcome back. What else can you ask for? Dana was great. I'm looking forward to doing it all over again.

Dana does an amazing job! I felt at ease leaving Max in her care. Her small ratio gave Max lots of attention as I've been told he has a little seep ration anxiety. Dana was very accommodating to last minute changes in our plans and accepted an extra unplanned stay. With the daily updates my family and I know that Max is in good hands and we can enjoy our time away without worrying about Max

Dana was awesome, I received tons of pictures and videos during my pups stay and it was very apparent they were having a blast! She was even able to accommodate an extra night last minute. I highly recommend Dana for a home away from home for your pups!!

It's important that your dog know how to behave appropriately around big dogs. My Menudo weighs over 150 lbs. and is a gentle giant, but other dogs can be intimidated by him at first. If your dog has shown aggression towards other dogs or cats, please don't book with me. I know playful dogs get rowdy, and that's ok as long as it's in good fun.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
