“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.”

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!

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.

I always wonder if Jada will be bored when she gets home after staying with Evan :) He sends pictures and she always looks like she's having a great time. It's nice to know we don't have to worry about her while we are away.

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!

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 Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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 .

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

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
