“Jenny took such good care of my reactive dog! She was patient and understanding, and knew what to do to get my dog to warm up to her. She also sent a nice amount of photos and updates which I sincerely appreciated!”
“Lila took great care of my sister and I's dogs. She was very responsive and sent a picture everytime I checked in, which was quite a bit because my dog is my world. I will totally reccomend others to use Lila to watch your fur babies!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for Cooper! Rachel was very responsive and sent a couple pictures a day. She let me know right away that he had settled in so I didn't worry. Walks, exercise, games--she did all the things he loves! Worked with us schedule-wise for drop off/pick up. I hope she will be available next time he needs a place.”
“Chelsey took great care of Annie and provided great exercise opportunities for her. She also sent updates and pictures while Annie stayed with her. I would recommend Chelsey to others and wouldn’t hesitate to have Annie stay there again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have around 8 years of pet sitting experience Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to make time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I enjoy having pets as part of my day and make sure they receive consistent loving care. I care for every pet like they’re my own! I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15 I’m now 20 and I want to make your pups feel loved even when you are away. I have two jobs one full time which is a 7-5 and my 2nd job I can move my schedule to help take care of your pups as long as you contact me before the 9th of the next month which I know is really a head but it helps me out! I have a fenced in yard and friendly pups or if your pup doesn’t like animals I can help you out by staying home with them at your house. I also offer bathing and trimming of nails, feet, and sanitary, and full trims depending on what kind of pup you have!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Raymond 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 Raymond.
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.
You and your Raymond 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.
