“Seriously the best sitter ever. Great photos and updates along with communication. I ended up in the hospital during our trip and Crystal took the stress off the dog away while I healed. She was incredibly professional and kind, we can’t thank her enough.”

“She did an excellent job keeping me informed about Lulu. Lulu decided to be a bit difficult and Ashley handled it perfectly! . Lulu has never stayed with someone not family but I felt comfortable and happy knowing she was with people who would give her lots of love and attention. Highly recommended and would stay with again”

“We've been bringing our dogs to Bethany for several years now. The dogs know her house as their 'home away from home'. It's so nice to have someone that's dependable and takes such great care of them. I love that she sends me pics of them also. So thankful we found her!”
“Our dog Mako had an amazing time with Emily and her family. Emily always sent daily pictures and updates to us while my family and I were out of town. Our dog Mako got plenty of exercise and playtime with the kids and came back to our family as happy as he can be. You can tell that Emily and her family take great care of all the pets they look after.”

“Samantha was amazing with Nala! She watched her for us this weekend and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nala was being well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again soon! ❤️🐾”

“Frida took such good care of our Lucy! She updated us frequently with pictures! It was so great to know she was getting spoiled and cuddled while she stayed there. Would definitely recommend Frida for exceptional care and love for your pet while you are away!”

About: I've had dogs for almost 30 years. I understand their temperament, needs, and can recognize when they're in need. I've bred dogs, so I've cared for them from pregnancy, to infancy, to end of life. I've had dogs since I was a child, so they are always factored into my daily routine. I live 10 minutes from base and I set my own hours, so I can come home to take care for them as frequently as needed. My dogs have access to food and water 24/7. I own my home and have a fenced in back yard. I'm military with a clearance, so my trustworthiness is undeniable. I live a stable life, so clients don't have to worry about their pet while they're at my home.

“Mariah was absolutely wonderful with Doja! She treated her like she was her own and really made her feel like part of the family. Doja is still young and VERY energetic, so I was honestly a little nervous about leaving her, but Mariah was amazing with her. She had nothing but good things to say about Doja and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. It was obvious that Doja was happy, loved, and spoiled while she was there. I will definitely be booking with Mariah every time we need someone to watch Doja. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! 🐾❤️”

“Milo had the very best time this week! He was cared for so well and has been missing Maya very much since he came back home. We can't recommend Jessica and Robert enough and look forward to using their services again the next time we go out of town!”

“Super friendly, beautiful home on top of it all has frenchies. So very knowledgeable about this type of breed. Next vacation I will be using her. Was updated everyday about my Berkie and didn’t have to worry about my fur baby, thank you so much”

“Carol was awesome - super easy to work with, went above and beyond, and our dog always looked so happy and well cared for in the picture she shared. She was a total joy, and we immediately added her to the top of our rebook list!”

“Amanda and Rachel always take such good care of Pepper! She even came back with a paw print/nose print ornament. She loves going to boarding with Amanda, Rachel, & their family.”

“Dara is really sweet person. She took care of Simba very well, Simba loved her dogs and he had a great play time when he was boarding at Dara’s. She was very active in sending daily updates about Simba. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”


“My dog, Nala, stayed with Samantha for one night, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Samantha was excellent at communicating and kept me updated throughout Nala’s stay with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. This was my first time boarding my dog and Samantha made the entire process easy and stress free. Nala came home happy and completely exhausted from all the playtime she received. I would absolutely book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring reliable dog sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for friends and family for over 10 years, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Dog sitting fits naturally into my regular routine because I’m able to plan my day around giving pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing with them, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m responsible with my time and can work pet care into my schedule while making sure each dog gets plenty of attention and isn’t left feeling alone. My goal is to make pet sitting feel easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I provide attentive, responsible, and personalized care for every pet, while staying in my home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect and care I would my own. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“Kaylee was amazing! She messaged us every day with an update and pictures of our sweet girl. We have a 7 month old Brittney named Rainy that has a lot of energy! She can be a handful, but Kaylee did an awesome job keeping up with her! Rainy had a great time wrestling and playing with Kaylee's golden retriever Sage, and snuggling with with her mini Australian Sheppard, Beau. This was our first time leaving our pup and we were gone for 8 nights. Kaylee put any fears we had to rest and we knew Rainy was in good hands and we didnt have to worry about her! We definitely reccomend Kaylee and I think Rainy would agree! We had one tired puppy when we brought her home! Kaylee was great and our Rainy girl had a blast!”

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 Thurman 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 Thurman.
<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 Thurman 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.
