“She was great with my 2 kids. They seemed so happy there. She was personable and when we had our meet and greet my dogs loved the yard and played. She sent pictures and my dogs looked so relaxed and comfortable. I will be using Laura again when I need a place to take my dogs for a night or 2. Mordechai and Sophie had a great time.”
“Hannah was the best dog sitter we could have hoped for. She was extremely diligent, communicative, and loving to our pup. Her dog and ours got along like best friends and we can’t recommend her enough!”
“Abby was great!! One of the best Rover experiences we’ve had. So communicative, easy to work with, and sent lots of pictures of our dog, which we love. Butter had a great time and we didn’t worry about her one bit. Thank you so much!”
“Cohle was excellent. She watched my male Boxer on short notice and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her and her family. She's super caring and I highly recommend her. Thanks Cohle!!!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a little girl. In 2007 I started working in doggy daycare and then started pet sitting and dog walking. In 2019 I became a dog trainer. I work as a vet teach I am flexible with my schedule. I do house sitting on weekends. I can do some weekdays we just have to work it out. I can open to dog walks and drop ins 24/7. When I come to your place I would make sure your fur baby in comfortable and have as much fun as you would with them.
About: We are a 2 person team of Jaleah and Drew. We both grew up having dogs of many different sizes and can handle almost anything if communicated! We’d love to give your pet exercise, cuddles, or whatever they need! Drew wakes up around 5 am and will be able to take your pet out and when Jaleah wakes up around 7, they’ll go out again. Drew gets off work at 1 and will take them on a long walk. When Jaleah gets off work around 5, we usually go for another evening walk. We live in an apartment but are near many trails and even have access to a mini dog park. We are very responsible with pets. We will make sure they’re cared for and will follow any directions given to us. We have a variety of skills with dogs so there’s a good chance I can do whatever you need! We will treat your pets as if they were our own!
“Roxxie had a great time! Lynsey is communicative, flexible, and reliable. She has the cutest little girl who knows how to interact with dogs as well. I recommend booking with her for anyone who is considering!”
“Melissa was wonderful! Communicative, professional, followed our care instructions perfectly, and Butter came home a happy girl. Loved the updates she provided too. Would highly recommend.”
“Our dog Luci had a great experience staying with Alysha and her family. They welcomed her in and made her feel at home right away. Communication was great with pictures and comments each day of the stay. Definitely recommend Alysha and would book again with her.”
“Sarah was great! Her home is conveniently located near the interstate, making it very easy for drop off and pick up. She did a great job welcoming me and meeting my dog on the first day. It was great when she sent me a video of her and her family taking him out for a walk. We will certainly see Sarah again next time we visit Iowa.”
About: I grew up with many dogs, and currently own two giant Newfoundlands that are basically my full time job outside of my full time job. They love other pups and so do I! I typically like to do most gigs on weekends, but I do work from home and can accept some dog boarding cases during the week occasionally. I have a fenced in backyard with some stairs going down from our deck. We have two very chill newfoundlands that get along with most pups, but a meet and greet is required to determine that.
“Ollie had a such a wonderful time with Ben and was very well taken care of. He got to enjoy lots of outdoor and indoor play with his friends and still came home smelling wonderful! Ben was conscientious of his feeding schedule and sent lots of pictures every day. We will definitely rebook!!”
“Amanda was a great sitter! She was very responsive and provided daily updates. Luna got a lot of exercise and play time with Piper, who she got along very well with. The pictures that Amanda sent were hilarious! Thank you Amanda!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwalk
Kylie and her family are the very best!! Our Daisy has stayed with them for 2 long trips and she always has the best time. She gets to play and gets so much love and attention from the kids that she is so worn out, in the best way! Daisy had a little bit of anxiety this last time at the start of her stay and Kylie was so patient and attentive, making sure she settled in well and was safe and comfortable. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her for anyone needing a sitter!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
