“Thank you for taking such great care of Murphy while we were out of town! We loved getting pictures and updates and felt confident that she was loved and relaxed the whole visit. Will definitely book again in the future!”


“David & Nicole are awesome! Our 4-year old flat-coated retriever Kosmo stayed with them for 4 days, and it couldn't have gone better. We had a nice meet n' greet a few days in advance, and David was so thoughtful in how he introduced Kosmo to his dogs and made her feel comfortable. When we dropped her off two days later she was already excited to be there. While we were away, they sent daily updates with fun videos of her playing. And they were extremely accommodating and understanding when my return flight got delayed. David and Nicole clearly love dogs - we recommend them highly!”


“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”


“We are so incredibly thankful for Sheryl. She went above and beyond taking care of Lenny. Our family was nervous to leave him with someone we didn’t know but we couldn’t have been happier. She sent many updates including photos and videos. It made us feel at ease knowing he was in such good hands. He went on lots of walks, got lots of snuggles, and even went on an adventure in the car. We will definitely leave Lenny with her the next time we come to Ames.”


“Trudy is the best! She took the best care of our dog while we were out of town. Our dog Gus had so much fun and didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! Trudy was very communicative and sent us pictures, which we loved!!”



“Robert and his wife took excellent care of our dog Jasper over a long weekend. He sent daily updates, which was very appreciated. I can tell that Jasper settled in and felt comfortable there, and he came home relaxed and happy. Thanks!”


“Thank you Deanna for taking good care of Indy! Deanna sent me pictures, videos and updates of how Indy was doing. It gave me the peace of mind while going on a family vacation! Indy enjoyed his time with his new friends! Until next time! Thanks again!”


“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”


“Ellen & daughter were amazing with caring for our dog. Pics were sent with updates & attentive to her needs. Will absolutely be utilizing their services again & would recommend to others. Thanks so much!”


“Jie took wonderful care of our mini poodle!! He is a rescue so we were a little nervous about how he would do with boarding but he adapted very well with Jie. We loved getting a picture and/or a video of Hershel every day! We could tell he was doing great and getting great care! We would definitely hire Jie again! 😊”


“Maxx had a great time with Nicole, Joaquin and Lili. Environment was good with the back yard for Maxx to roam. My first time boarding Maxx so I would like to hear more about how he was doing. Was he good on his walk. Did he encounter any issues with other dogs during his walks. Was he eating okay. Overall very happy with the experience. If the opportunity comes again I hope Nicole and Joaquin will be available and happy to take Maxx again.”



“Andrea was the best doggy sitter ever! She is so kind to our little girl and we know our puppy had the best time ever ? Andrea also did pick up and drop off which was amazing as our flights were early and late. We could come straight home after the airport and snuggle our puppy ?”



“Topsy took great care of our dog. We felt at ease knowing that she would treat him like her own while we were out of town. He came home happy and healthy! Thank you, Topsy!”


“Emily's family took care of our dog Ramen for a week. Emily was very responsive to my messages and sent me several pictures. My dog had a great time playing with their dog and their little kids. Thank you so much!!”


“Abby was fantastic! Juni got along great with her two dogs and she loved the fenced yard and the clean, quiet home. Abby was great with sending photos and videos and everything from the meet and greet to the pickup was well organized, clearly communicated, and professional. I will be using Abby again!”


“Samantha and Daniel were amazing with my Micco. They had him for an extended stay and Micco was excited to see me for about a minute when I got back but decided he would rather stay and play with the pups and kiddos :). They will be my first call every time in the future when I have a trip!”


“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”


“This was our first Rover.com experience and it was great! Kristine kept us updated on how Gus was doing and was very workable with him as he adjusted to overnights in a new environment! I would recommend her and hope to have Gus stay with her and her awesome pups again!”

Sunfish Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily and family took a great care of Neela while we were away for our a month long India trip. We were able to spend our vacations peacefully without worrying about our puppy. From the updates, video and photos to the extra time she gave shows how much she care. We will surely use this service in the future. Thanks Emily!

David and Nicole are fantastic! They are pros and really know dogs. I was completely at ease leaving my dog with them for a 10-day vacation. She came home exhausted and happy. I really appreciated their daily updates and that she had good dog pals to hang out with.

Bethany was so warm and welcoming and a perfect fit for my anxious very attached dog Hawkie. We were able to coordinate a visit in advance to see how he did and he did so well! I knew this was a perfect fit for my dog. I received photos and regular updates on how he was doing and it really put my mind at ease to know my sweet baby was being loved and pampered. I will definitely book with Bethany again in the future. She is a true gem! Thank you so much!

Karen and Aaron took very good care of our golden doodle Yogi. They sent us pictures, videos and updates everyday. It was good to know Yogi was in great hands while we were away. We will bring Yogi back to them in the future, because Yogi was clearly happy and content with them as he is at home. Thank you both for taking such good care of him. Appreciate it very much.

Pachee and Josh were outstanding pet sitters for three boys, ages 14, 11 and 1. Both Pachee and Josh took the three boys for walk, with the eldest being in a sling sort of speak since he is physically disabled, and 11 year old who does not like the one year old. I would highly recommend Pachee and Josh as sitters again for the three boys. We received videos and pictures of the boys and updates. We came to pick up the boys, of course they were excited to see us but would also go to Josh. The boys’s actions spoke loud and clear how much they enjoyed Pachee and Josh.
