“Ashley was great with giving photo updates on my dog’s stay at her home. We met briefly the day before and drop off the morning of was easy! She was flexible with times and was very kind. Would definitely book her again. :)”
“Emma had a great visit with Tiffany and family. They are welcoming and I found it comforting the way that Emma felt comfortable with them right away. I was traveling and staying at a hotel because of a family wedding. When so sm in town again I will definitely use them to take care of Emma. (My12 year old Shiipoo).”
About: Hi! I’m Zinia, a stay-at-home mom living in North Liberty with my husband, Grant, a resident physician at UIHC, and our 2-year-old daughter, Zoe. We lost our sweet Yorkshire Terrier, Missy, to old age after 15 years together. She was such a big part of our family, and we really miss having a dog around! We’re not quite ready to get another dog of our own, but we’d love to have a furry friend to spoil every now and then. That’s really what brought me to Rover. We miss the company of a dog, and I thought this would be a nice way to have one around from time to time while helping out other dog owners. Zoe grew up with Missy and absolutely loves dogs. She’s a gentle little girl who loves to cuddle, read books, and watch movies with any dog willing to keep her company. She’s used to being around small dogs, but of course, I’ll always supervise their interactions. Your dog and Zoe will never be left alone together. Since I’m home with Zoe during the day, your pup will have plenty of company and attention. We like to spend our mornings outside, going for walks around the neighborhood or exploring the nearby trails and parks. We usually go for another walk in the evening, too. The rest of our day is pretty relaxed, with lots of time for playing, lounging around, and cuddling on the couch. Our yard isn’t fenced, so all potty breaks will be on a leash. I take dogs out every couple of hours and more often if they need it. We only take dogs from one family at a time, whether that’s one dog or a few from the same household. We’re really just doing this because we miss having a dog around, so we’d rather keep things small and enjoy spending time with the dogs we have staying with us. That way, each pup gets plenty of love and attention, just like Missy did. I am out of school and I'm home all day on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I have a part-time job working as a dental assistant on Tues-Wed-Thurs, from 9am-2 pm. However, the hours are flexible as I can leave late or arrive early or not go if I'm busy and it is more of a learning experience for me. So I can be a little flexible, so shoot me a message and we can figure it out :) I live in an apartment, but make no mistake, we spend plenty of time outside! Throughout the day, I keep owners updated with photos, videos, and messages to provide peace of mind. We're fortunate to reside near a dog park, allowing for daily visits to keep our furry guests active and entertained. Exercise and playtime are essential parts of our routine, and I'm more than happy to ensure your dog gets ample opportunity to socialize and have a blast. In our home, we prioritize comfort and relaxation, so you won't find any crates here. Instead, your pup will have free reign to chill on the couch and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. If I need to step out briefly for a quick errand, I'll make sure to secure the bedroom doors and let them have full access to the living room. Depending on the dog's temperament, I may even bring them along on my short outings. (See my typical day below for more info)
“Jakes was so great with Cookie considering we only chatted a few times but having a meet up was great! Cookie came home happy and looked like she really enjoyed time with Jakes, especially playing fetch. Definitely will rebook again!”
“Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!”
About: I’ve owned a dog since I was 10 years old. I currently have 2 dogs living at home in New York. I also have experience in dog training at Art of Dog in Buffalo. I have worked with dogs as large as a great dane and as small as a chihuahua, as well as senior dogs and puppies. I’ve worked with crate trained dogs, dogs on an e-collar and prong collar. I am currently a graduate student taking only 3 classes a semester and plenty of time for dog (and cat!) sitting and walking. I have one class a day Monday - Thursday. Weekends are free. I would prefer to care for dogs in clients homes, but can take care of small dogs from my apartment if needed. I do have a yard that is not fenced. I live on a safe street and dogs will always be leashed outside. I do not have a crate, but can take clients dog crate for the stay. I have access to a car.
“We had a fantastic experience with Steve! He watched our dog for 3 nights and went above & beyond to make sure he was happy and safe; playing fetch, taking him on regular walks, exploring different parks, fun car rides and even stopping for a pup cup. Steve was kind, reliable, maintained excellent communication, clearly showing he is great with dogs. We especially appreciated the daily updates and pictures-it gave us so much peace of mind seeing how much fun our dog was having. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you Steve! 🐶🐾”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Ash and Hazel with their anxiety issues. They look happy and playful coming back home. Thanks to Rikka and Peggy for sharing their space with them. Hazel and Ash would love to spend time with them next time. Highly recommend for homely stay!!”
“Avery was great! I was in town for a wedding and Avery was extremely flexible with me as I needed to make last minute changes for my pick up and drop off time! She communicated quickly and sent us picture updates of my dog Rambo! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!”
“Danny Boy had an amazing time with Michaela! Pickup and drop off were smooth and easy. Michaela was extremely communicative and great with photo updates every day. Will definitely be back!”
“Ashley took good care of our overly excitable baby girl. She sent pictures, videos and updates while we were away and sent us home with one sleepy puppy! This was my first time using rover and I was nervous but after our great experience I would use again.”
“This was our first Rover experience and it was awesome! Our beagle Penny loved Aryal! Definitely rebooking with her and we are just thrilled that we found such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby!! Everything went so smoothly - from the initial meeting to picking up Penny when we returned. It is such a relief to know our furry family member is being treated so well and we don't have to worry about her since Aryal has so much experience with dogs!”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Morse can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Morse 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 Morse.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Morse. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Morse 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
