“This was our first time boarding our dog anywhere, but Travis made us feel very comfortable and reassured that Percy would be in good hands. We also really appreciated that he sent us daily updates and pictures! I really can’t recommend Travis enough, and will definitely try to board our dog with him the next time we have to go out of town again.”

“Sarina was very sweet and attentive of my husky’s needs at all times. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her because of her extensive experience with high energy breeds. Also had a cute dog that my husky enjoyed playing with. Thank you Sarina. ??”

“Jason was an awesome all around dog sitter! He took my puppy for a weekend of boarding on very short notice. He was very responsive and able to quickly get up to speed on my dog’s tendencies and needs. He frequently sent updates throughout the weekend and I could tell was very active and engaged, taking several trips to the dog park and providing treats and toys. His dog Timber was the perfect buddy for my pup to play with all weekend long. I’ll reach out to Jason again for boarding and would recommend to anyone in the area.”

“We are so lucky to have found Gina! From the first few minutes of our meet and greet I knew she would be the perfect one to watch Winston. We could tell he had the best time because she sent tons of picture and video updates, which eased a lot of anxiety around leaving him in a new place. We will 100% be booking with Gina again!”

“I was very pleased with Abbey's care of my little maltese dog. During our meet-and-greet Abbey struck me as being very friendly, knowledgable and affectionate towards each of her charges. This impression was confirmed when Abbey sent me pictures and a report describing how my dog was doing during my absence. I look forward to Abbey taking care of my dog in the future.”

“Went above and beyond took great care of my pup definitely would recommend. Sent daily updates and cute pictures and best of all she didn’t put my pup in a cage the whole time so she was always able to stretch her legs whenever she wanted.”

“Melia and Benjamin took great care of our dog Zeus. Their friendly dogs were the best companions! He had great time with them. He came back even more energetic than he was before his stay with Melia and Benjamin! I would definitely recommend them! Thanks for raking care of our dog!”

“Thank you so much Morgan for watching Ben and Rosie! She was an amazing sitter and went great lengths to ensure they enjoyed their stay. From daily walks, trips to the dog park, and cuddle time in bed, Morgan went above and beyond. She sent daily pictures of the two and kept us updated. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.”

“Ashley was great with giving photo updates on my dog’s stay at her home. We met briefly the day before and drop off the morning of was easy! She was flexible with times and was very kind. Would definitely book her again. :)”

About: My husband and I have experience handling all kinds of dogs and love creating a happy and enriching environment for them - my pet family comprises of a husky and two cats that all get along wonderfully. I currently work a full time job, but I am available for pet sitting on most weekends and holidays with occasional availability during certain weekdays. I can offer a variety of enriching experiences for your dog including long walks, trips to the dog park and lots of exercise and play sessions! Dog play is always strictly supervised with frequent time out sessions.

“Jake was fantastic with Stewie and Oscar - he made various accommodations for our cat who took some time adjusting to a new environment. Our dog, Stewie, made himself at home and had a great time hanging with Walter, Scout, and Jake. Highly recommend! Thank you so much ?”

“Charlie, loved his visit with Macy and Luke. When we met Macy, she immediately greeted Charlie with tender attention and warmth. We received cute photos while we were at the football game, and we didn't worry about him at all while he had his "sleep over:) When we picked Charlie up on Sunday morning, Macy was ready with him outside, and he seemed so calm and happy. Our dog has issues with anxiety, but it was immediately evident that he felt comfortable with Macy. Normally, he'd race to us with a "take me home" look, but he stayed by her side until we reached down to pick him up:). Our son is in grad school in Iowa City, and we would absolutely leave Charlie with Macy and Luke again while visiting town. We recommend them very highly.”

“Joy and her two chihuahuas welcomed Kili to their home and took great care of him for a week while we took a vacation. She was prompt, flexible, and willing to drive to us to pick him up/drop him off. Will definitely use Joy’s services the next time we plan a trip!”

“I wish my dog & I weren't moving from the area! Morgan is a wonderful sitter. I would definitely recommend booking with her. I was exhausted from a long healthcare shift and asked if she would keep Jimmy for an extra 12 hours short notice. Morgan responded quickly and was so accommodating. I almost cried I was so relieved. It definitely makes a long day easier knowing my dog is safe and well cared for while I'm gone!”

“Our boy loved staying with Stephanie! We were nervous to leave a pretty excitable puppy with a sitter (didn’t want to drive anyone wild) but Stephanie has a dog of similar age and was easy going about his behaviors. Knowing that Stephanie was chill around the dogs when they met and a vet tech, I had full confidence he would be safe and happy there. When we picked him up he was happy and healthy and ready to see us again!”

About: Born and raised in Iowa city. I have been around dogs my whole life. I currently have a 2 year old charcoal lab and a 8 year old Wheaton terrier. They are both super friendly. I have been working as an animal caretaker at the university of Iowa for 10+ years. I have a big fenced in yard. I have a flexible schedule. I am never away for more than 5 hours. I can work with specific needs if needed. I am usually available anytime. I have a big secure fenced in yard with cameras. My two dogs are very playful and will definitely give your dog some exercise. I have dog gates throughout the house to separate dogs while feeding if necessary. I wake up at 5:30 am and go to bed around 10-11pm. I usually feed my dogs in the morning and at dinner time. Non smoking home.

“This was the first time we used Rover, and I was so happy that we found Kasey and her family. It was obvious from the moment I met her and her family that they loved caring for animals. Pepper enjoyed his stay and was given such great care. Kasey was such a great communicator- I received several pictures and updates that made me realize that he was getting lots of attention and love. This really helped calmed my worries regarding him while I was away. I can't say enough great things about Kasey and her family but was so grateful for their willingness to take care of my dog like he was their own. Would definitely book with Kasey again- she was wonderful!”

“Rizzo had a great visit with Adela. If your dog likes to play and enjoy an expansive fenced backyard, I encourage you to consider Adela. Communication was great and I appreciated her flexibility. Thank you!”

“Jessica was wonderful and our dog had a great time staying with her! Jessica was very timely and thorough with answering questions, and she sent photo updates as well throughout the stay. Will definitely send our dog back to stay with Jessica again soon!”
