“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.”


“Ginger had the BEST time ever with Mr. Doyle and Mr. Mike! I got pictures from all of her adventures and when she came home, she went straight to bed for a five hour nap. She was so exhausted from having fun. They even took her swimming (her absolute favorite sport) and have the pics to prove it. These gentlemen have it going on and know exactly what my dog loves. They don't just care for her; they pamper her and see to her every need. I am just so impressed. It is so nice to be able to go out of town and know that a very significant part of my family will be well cared for and off having an adventure of her own! Words cannot express my gratitude for the service and commitment that this sitter provides. ”


“My baby travels with me 98% of the time, he has frequent flyer miles! I am not blind, he's a spoiled (I hand feed him) only child (lives to be held, and needs attention). So when I had to leave him for 48 hours with someone I did not know, I was a little anxious, Amber really put my mind at ease within a few hours. She sent update pictures (which I loved the proof of life) of him chilling, sleeping and begging for treats. Then showed him getting some male bonding time with her husband. She kept me up to date on how Gizmo was eating and how he was acting. When I picked Gizmo up he was tired (in a good way) and I could tell he was well taken care of. He wasn't shaking from trauma, he was happy to see me, but content in this home. I will definitely use her again.”

“Dulce was amazing! My pup can be a little anxious at first but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well loved! He really opened up at the end and when I picked him up, I could see how much he loved the whole family 🫶🏻”

“Savannah did a great job with my dog over the weekend. She was quick to respond to any messages I sent her, and she was great at giving me updates and pictures while I was away. Would love to have her watch my dog again.”

“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!”

“Ryne is fantastic! My two boys knew exactly where we were when we pulled up for drop off, and I know they are in good hands with each stay. Ryne will definitely be our first call for boarding moving forward!”

“Olivia is so attentive and thorough with care instructions, has a beautiful back yard that my dog loved, and has a genuine love for animals that I could understand from our first meeting. My dog came home happy and freshly exercised, so I was able to relax immediately. Thank you Olivia!”

“Danielle and her family took such good care of our two dogs while we were out of town! It was great to have them stay with someone who took them in like they were part of the family. We'll definitely use her again!”

“Maria was AMAZING. She was super flexible and accommodating for our corgi and golden retriever. She sent photos and updates every day, and just loved them as her own. We felt so relieved and happy to leave them in her care. 100/10 recommend!”

“I received regular updates during Jayda’s stay. She was reluctant to leave me at dropoff but energetic and happy throughout the stay as evidenced in her pictures. Jessica and Nathan were welcoming and friendly. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would 100% recommended them to anyone needing care for their fur baby! 😊”
“Marnela did amazing watching Ace. I ended up needing to extend Ace’s stay due to a power outage and she was extremely flexible and understanding. She provided tons of updates and photos, throughout the stay. Ace is normally an anxious dog, but it looks like he was able to enjoy his stay. 10/10, I would recommend Marnela!”

About: I am a pet momma who loves animals and help families out when needed as I know how hard it is to find good care for their furbabies while away. I am currently off summers so free time is easy but when school starts again I will fit the pet care in after work or weekends. I make things work. I love animals and take very good care of them. I treat them like they are my own pets. Whatever needs they need i will care for them.
“This is the 2nd time we have had Jeffrey watch Maggie in the last few weeks. When we got to his house to drop her off she immediately ran to his front door to get in. We are thrilled the way he takes care of our dog!”


“I messaged Seth and got a prompt and polite response back. We arranged to meet at the local dog park (which I was a little bit nervous about) however it went really well. Kat asked me professional questions about the care of my dog. Meanwhile my pup (who is normally very shy towards men) was out playing in the field with Seth LOL! Akira had a great stay. It was very evident that everyone in their household has a genuine love for dogs. They went out of their way to make my dog feel comfortable from beginning to end. I'd trust them with any dog or cat!”

About: There’s nothing better than coming home to a happy dog and a wagging tail! As a longtime dog mom myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention when you can’t be there. I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work with pet parents to find a routine that works best for their pets. I offer drop-in visits, walks, daytime pet sitting, and overnight stays in your home or mine. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies who are still working on potty training and routines to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, medication, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, a game of fetch or tug-of-war, some backyard playtime, meals and fresh water, or simply some company and plenty of cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention they’re used to while you’re gone. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing yours is being cared for like I’d want someone to care for my own. I am self employed and work from home most days so I have plenty of time for snuggles and walks! On days that I do leave home for appointments, I am usually not gone for long and if running errands, I can take pets with for a car ride! I have access to a private fenced dog run area perfect for getting some time to play off leash. We also live downtown so there is no shortage of places to walk and explore. If your pet is more of a couch potato, we can lounge and relax inside!

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 Minden 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 Minden.
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 Minden 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.
