“Beckett was great! My aussie got tons of love and attention and is worn out with all the playtime he had. Beckett was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times, which was super helpful for our last minute trip. We will definitely request them for future boarding!”


“Ming was great with our 7 month old puppy for a last minute booking. We were nervous about leaving him, but talking with Ming and getting daily photos and videos helped us feel just fine.”


“Anne, Thank you for taking care of Freddie a second time, which was much longer. The pictures through out the day really make a difference. We will bring more balls next time. :) Thanks so much Steve & Shelli North Liberty”



“Jason was an awesome all around dog sitter! He took my puppy for a weekend of boarding on very short notice. He was very responsive and able to quickly get up to speed on my dog’s tendencies and needs. He frequently sent updates throughout the weekend and I could tell was very active and engaged, taking several trips to the dog park and providing treats and toys. His dog Timber was the perfect buddy for my pup to play with all weekend long. I’ll reach out to Jason again for boarding and would recommend to anyone in the area.”


“Windsor just came back from a week stay with Tiffany and Soriya and must have had the best time, He’s done nothing but sleep all day! He always comes home tired so that tells me he enjoys his stay with them!”



“Jena was great! She was quick to respond and very detailed when we took our pup to meet her before our booking. Zito was well taken care of and she sent pictures while we were away! Highly recommend!”


“Maverick had a good time!! He came home the same dog I dropped off (which is 💯 a relief) and he made friends with a tiny dog! Also very appreciative for a shorter notice booking.”


“As a first time Rover user, Paxtyn and her Aussie, Zaydah, were so welcoming. They greeted my mini Aussie and me with kindness. The house was spotless and I received photos and a video while I was away. Thank you so much for taking care of our Otis! Highly recommend!”


“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”


“Maxwell took great care of our dog! He sent plenty of pictures and spent time outdoors with him which we loved. Our dog came home happy and exhausted after a full weekend. Maxwell was also super flexible with us when we had to pick our dog up a little late. We would highly recommend!”


“Mule was so wonderful with our two dogs! She communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures and even some videos. She's very attentive and the pictures showed how much fun everyone was having.”


“What a fantastic sitter Kuiper and Buddy were loved and happy. The whole process was seamless and Michaela was fantastic. We got updates and pictures periodically which made it extremely easy to know they were well taken care of.”


“Sara and her family took great care of our two dogs! Communication was great and she was very accommodating. We will definitely hire her again in the future!”


“Steve was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They had a great time with him at his home and enjoyed lots of walks, rubs, naps and exploring. Steve sent pictures to us a few times each day to show us how well they were doing. They came home happy and healthy. We'll absolutely be booking again.”


“Debra was wonderful with my Dezzie girl. She made her feel right at home and sent frequent updates . She was exactly what we hoping for and more. We are looking forward to many more visits with Debra in the future.”


“Amanda sent updates and photos. The dogs had fun with her kids and a couple other dogs. Pet-geared house! I will definitely ask her again. ??”


“Lori was so accommodating to us and after meeting for the first time, we knew our dog would be in wonderful hands. We appreciated the photos and updates along the way!”


“Pip had a wonderful time at Emily’s home with her and her Fiancés dog Frankie! Emily was flexible with scheduling pickup and drop off times and sent plenty of fun photos! Pip will be visiting again!”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life growing up on a horse farm. My daughter Clementine is the neighborhood dog lover. She knows all of our neighbor’s dogs and sees this as an opportunity to do what she loves and earn some savings. I work from home and my daughter is home, other than school during the day. We have a Bernedoodle who we walk and also loves dogs. We’re an active family and we enjoy playing outside. We have a large yard. We use an underground fence, so no physical fence in our yard. We would ensure all visiting dogs are leashed.

“Adela was wonderful with our boys. She communicated often, sent photos and kept us up to date on how they were doing. She was very calm and caring when one of them seemed to have caught a bug. We felt horrible about it, but she assured it was ok and he was getting better. Thank you Adela!”
