“I used to think that no other person could love my dog Oliver as much as I do... until I found Trish. She has been an absolute godsend to us and I could not be more grateful for her. It truly feels like I am dropping my dog off to spend the day with family in a home where he will be loved to no end. I wish I could give her 100 ⭐️'s and I HIGHLY recommend her for anybody in need of dog care!”
About: We have had 2 dogs for quite some time. Cody always had a pet in the home growing up and we have had our dogs since they were puppies (the oldest is 8 years old). We are willing to give any medicines and we brush our own dogs teeth at night, so we can do yours if you would like! Cody works from home, and Ashley is home most of the time so we will be willing to work with you and what your pup needs! We have a single family home with a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies ourselves to keep your pet company! We also have a doggy door to the backyard if your pup knows how to use it :) We do not crate our own dogs but are willing to crate your pup if that is the preference. We usually take our dogs on 4 walks per day, lasting about 30 minutes each walk plus free roam in the backyard.
“I have booked with Jason number of times now both with just Theodore and now with Theodore and Eleanor. He is super affectionate with my fur babies and patient with with both them and their crazy momma. 😅😂”
“They were great with my dog! He got to spend time outside and enjoyed playing with their dog. He came home tired and ready for a nap, so I’m sure he had a great day. Thank you so much Bobbie and family for taking care of my boy! I’ll definitely be back for doggy day care in the future.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it exceeded our expectations. Ali did a great job caring for our 4 1/2 year old black lab, George. Ali was easy to get in touch with and attended to George’s medical issues requiring meds and exercise restrictions. George was clearly well cared for and loved.? Highly recommended!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have had many neighbors back home request my dog sitting services. I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.
About: I treat every dog like my own and love creating routines that keep dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or making sure they get the right amount of play and rest, I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making your pup feel secure and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time on weekends at the hospital so I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to pet care! I love spending time with animals, so this feels natural and rewarding. I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or medication needs—and I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention.
“Natalie and her crew took great care of our boys. We felt so at ease leaving them with her for the day. Next time we are through coralville we be sure to book a stay for our boys in her home”
About: We have both taken care of animals for most of my life. I have always had cats and dogs as pets, and I have cared for many of my friends’ and families’ pets. I currently work full time but have the ability to work remote. Between my partner and I, there is almost always at least one person at our house at any given time. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for our dogs to run around. We take them for walks daily. We shower our pets with love and attention; they are rarely alone.
“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”
“Sidney took great care of our puppy, Bean! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and how Bean was doing! I would highly recommend Sidney if you’re looking for a good sitter!”

“Our 1st day care was great! Melissa and Joseph were attentive and caring and sent fun pictures of her playing which was really nice for us to see! Look forward to having our girl stay with them again soon?”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, and recently said goodbye to my sweet golden doodle of 14 years. He was my bud, and caring for him from puppyhood into his older years taught me so much about love, patience, and the little things dogs need to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who needed a gentler care. I’m confident giving medication, following feeding routines, and making sure every dog feels loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like family. I’ll send plenty of updates, give lots of love, and make sure your dog is well cared for while you’re away. I’m home for the summer and have a super flexible schedule thanks to my internship, so pet care fits into my days really easily! Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your dog the attention they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they might need, so things feel familiar while you’re away.

Robert S.Star Sitter
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to Robert and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and service he provided. Robert is truly a dog lover! From the moment I reached out to Robert on Rover.com, his professionalism and prompt communication stood out. He was quick to respond to my inquiries, and we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for my dog's needs and personality. I appreciated his attention to detail and the genuine interest he showed in getting to know my dog's habits, preferences, and any specific instructions. Robert provided a safe and comfortable environment for my furry companion, treating my dog as if they were their own. Regular updates, including photos and videos, were sent to me, allowing me to see that my dog was happy and content while in their care. This level of communication brought peace of mind, especially when I had to be away from my pup for an extended period. He made sure my dog received plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to Robert for any future dog-sitting needs!”
