“Meagan was amazing. She sent us pictures daily and made sure we knew right away when Iris injured herself. Iris is a high energy GSP so we were not surprised but Meagen kept an eye on her injury and updated us often as she healed. Iris loved her time spent with Meagen and we would use her again.”
“Osvaldo and his wife were amazing!! They sent lots of pictures, videos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They went on many walks, had play time outside with their dogs and playtime inside. They made our trip way less stressful knowing our dogs were being taken care of.”
“Oscar always has a blast with Casandra. It’s wonderful knowing that when we go on vacation Oscar gets to have a vacation as well. He is always very excited to meet new friends and get pampered.”
“My wife and I left the country for about 10 days and were worried because we have never left our dog with strangers or in a kennel because he is older and adopted. He has a weird routine and glaucoma so he needed a little extra care but they handled him perfectly and he fit right into their routine. Melanie and her family saved us 100%! They constantly sent us pics and updates on him which made us feel better. They took care of him as if he was part of their family and we greatly appreciate it. 10/10!”
“Christopher been nothing but amazing with our pups. He’s gone above and beyond what we expected and that’s why he will always be our go to person. He’s done an amazing job I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a sitter to watch over ur precious loved one”
“This was my first time leaving my dog for daycare with Jaden. He is very aware of the needs of the dogs, and my dog didn’t show any anxiety issues during his stay. I’m very pleased and would recommend him to others.”
“Molly is simply the best! My dogs are always happy to go visit and Molly communicates with me throughout the boarding time. I will continue to use Molly and recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter!”
“Shannah and her husband were awesome with our kittens! We had to last minute travel for a family emergency and they were available to take care of Taco and Cheeto. They sent updates everyday and were really responsive. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’m a dog lover and have two corgis of my own who are both very friendly with other dogs and people. I’m used to caring for dogs every day, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and cuddles. My dogs are social and welcoming, so your pup will have some friendly company while staying with me. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any special instructions you have! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 5PM. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I have two friendly corgis, Sushi and Boba, who can provide companionship if your pup is comfortable around other dogs. I keep a close eye on all dogs during outdoor time and can crate or separate them when needed. I focus on providing a calm, clean, and safe home environment for your pup.
“Mandy usually is very anxious when left anywhere but she seemed quite happy and content with Alicia and her family. Mandy also liked her dogs, Bennie and Mila, which helped keep her from being anxious. Alicia provided pictures and updates which gave us much comfort. I highly recommend this sitter and will use her again when she is available.”
“We were traveling out of state and needed someone to trust Forest with for the weekend. Wonderful people who took great care of Forest! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Rover.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Ivana did a fabulous job, truly going above and beyond our expectations! We felt that she treated our dog like family, exactly as we would treat her. We got daily updates/videos and in every one, our dog looked like she was having the most amazing time! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Colleen is the best!! She is extremely friendly, quick to respond, and very accommodating. She treated my dog Maya like she was her own and I could tell she was very well loved and cared for. I would highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for great care for their fur babies! We will definitely be using her again in the future. :)”
“Meghan is so good with dogs! She took Benny for lots of walks, was patient with him when a little nervous and barking a lot, and gives lots of cuddles. We also got a lot of pics and updates. Definitely recommend!”
“She was very nice and took great care of Sky during the six days we were away. She sent us pictures every day and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. Sky seemed very happy and comfortable when we picked him up, and we didn’t have any issues during his stay. Everything went smoothly, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their dog!”
“Emmy took wonderful care of our dog! She was attentive and made sure our energetic girl got plenty of exercise and stimulation. We received regular updates and photos, and it was apparent in the pictures that our dog felt right at home. We definitely recommend Emmy!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rising Sun
Aly did such a great job with my two dogs. This is the first time they were left with someone other than family. She was great with communications and photos. I was nervous about leaving them for a week while on vacation out of state. I think both of them had a great time. We will definitely use her in the future.

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 Rising Sun home-away-from-home, 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 Rising Sun.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rising Sun 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 , 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 .
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.
