“Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!”
2. Lisa S.
“My Lola had a blast staying with Lisa! She sent many pictures and updates during her stay and was very responsive. Plenty of toys and comfy places for a pup to enjoy in the household and a safe fenced in yard. Would definitely recommend!”
3. Cory W.
“Appreciated Cory and spouse caring for our dogs. They always sent an update when we asked! Our dogs were exhausted upon returning home from so much playing! Grateful to have them in a positive space.”
4. Sarah W.
“Our dog Bella was so content and happy and got along well with her dogs. Sarah was great in all areas and sent us updates and photos. Will definitely use her again.”
5. Kevin R.
“Kevin was amazing at working with me when I change her drop off time twice due to flight changes. He sent me pictures and videos and let me know Cookie was warming up to him (as I was worried about that, as she is wary of people she doesn't know). He was also accommodating in letting someone else pick up cookie for me as I wouldn't be able to. Cookie seemed to be her normal self when I returned home and hopefully she was good for Kevin during her stay. I would book with Kevin again as he was very chill and laid back about Cookie.”
6. Evan H.
“We always love when Mochi stay with Evan and his wife, as we know he is in good hands. Mochi also loves staying with them and playing with Winny. All of us are happy to book a stay with Evan and his family when we need it. ”
7. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.”
8. Christy & Erkam N.
“Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.”
9. Maricela V.
“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”

“Madison was great with our girl. She had a blast with the other dogs. We were hesitant about leaving her with someone but Madison sent lots of pictures and videos to reassure us that our girl was ok and happy.”

13. Savannah H.
“Me and my baby boy Stewie love Savannah! She took the time to get to know Stewie and asked questions to provide great care. She has excellent communication, sent pics and provided updates on how he was doing. Stewie is a small senior dog and enjoyed the company of her two dogs. Savannah is very flexible scheduling drop off and pick up. She is a very caring and welcoming person and I would definitely use her again!”
14. Jessica V.
“Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!”
15. Cory G.
“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”

“Izzy had a great time and for right in. I got picture and video updates. Would definitely trust Cassidy with my fur baby again!!”
17. Lucia R.
“Had a great experience booking with Lucia! She took great care of our dog for 3 days and sent pictures/updates. She brought him to the dog park and he got lots of play time. Lucia was a great communicator too!”
18. Heather H.
“Heather and her family took such good care of our pup over the Christmas holiday! We received regular updates and our dog was in good hands. Thank you again, Heather!”
19. Alexandra H.
“Alexandra made me feel very comfortable leaving Homie with her for a week. Her house is perfectly set up for dogs and she has a massive backyard. She washed Homie’s bedding before we picked him up and his food bowls too. She provided photos every day and really kept us reassured that he was well taken care of.”
20. Jaden B.
“As first time Rover users we were very hesitant and nervous to be leaving our puppy as we went on a trip. Jaden gave us no reasons to be worried as they were very responsive and understanding. Our puppy had a great time staying with Jaden and we will definitely look to rebook on our next trip out of town.”
