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!

This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!

We had two happy poodles upon our return. We will definitely ask them again to care for our dogs when we go out of town. Thank you for caring for them as if they were your own.

About: I love making sure animals feel comfortable and welcomed. I have dog sat for my family for many years. I grew up having animals all around me and I love them to death and could not picture life without them. Helping out is something I love to do for people and making things as easy as possible for everyone involved. Give me the chance to love your animal when it’s convenient for you and I promise they will come home to you just as you left them and they will be super loved while in my care. Pets are like family members and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I am very patient with shy animals and I’m passionate as well. I’d love to have the opportunity to work with your animals. I do this a a side job to earn money to help support my family. I have taken care of animals all my life seen as I grew up with them. So technically I do this daily but as far as customers pups I do it as needed. I never let a dog outside without a lease unless the yard is fenced. In my home the doors that lead to outside are always locked! I have my pups that would love to play and tire out your kiddo. If parents prefers the dog can be kenneled, and as always we will send pupdates to ease the parents minds!

About: I've had animals almost my entire life. Right now, we have a 15 year old red tabby cat and a 5 1/2 year old American Bulldog. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and am comfortable around other animals. We moved to an acreage in rural Dallas County in 2017. If interested in boarding or daycare, please message me. We have an UNFENCED yard (1.7 acres) and we are next door to a cattle ranch operation, so please take those factors into consideration. I have had a pet sitter watch our animals in the past (and I can be picky). I would love to provide your pet with the utmost care, just as I would expect to receive from anyone watching my animals. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!

I feel the happiest when I’m caring for them:) I worked for two years at a local doggy daycare in waukee Iowa, where I gained lots of hands on experience supervising, playing with, taking care of, and ensuring safety of dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. I have also been a dog sitter and walker for the past five years, building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners while providing dependable care, including administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved!!!

About: I'd love to be your professional pet sitter! When I'm with your fur baby, they are my full-time concern. I'll send you pictures of your happy pet while you are away. I know how animals miss their human, and I do everything I can to make their stay-cation with me enjoyable while you are away from home. My clients refer to my home as the Petz Carleton. It's my pleasure to care for them. Each of my clients goes home with a personalized toy. I'm retired, but I do some freelance writing work, which takes eight or nine hours a week. My writing never interferes with my focus on your fur baby. I walk every day in my beautiful neighborhood and would love to have your pet's company. My schedule is open. I go to Church on Sunday mornings, and feel free to reach out for more references to Mymemos. That is the Yahoo email address that I will respond to. The meet-and-greet we do will be very thorough. I will ask lots of questions about your pet and take notes. I'll also want contact information for you, your vet, and a trusted friend. Once I have that information, your pet will be cared for like you were there. I'll show you where your pet will sleep if they are used to sleeping with mom and dad.

She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs! Such a wonderful family and home! She did such a great job at such a great price! I can’t recommend her enough! I will try and book her first when looking for anything regarding care for my dog!

Sarah was fabulous. We had another Rover set up, but they had to cancel, so with short notice, Sarah was able to take care of your two little dogs. Her communication from booking and throughout the stay was wonderful and she was flexible with times, which was very appreciated. Our miniature poodles are a little shy with small children, but they did not mind running around the very spacious house with her two little boys. We highly recommend Sarah to take care of your dogs.

About: I've had dogs and cats for most of my life that are treated as family. Buster, my 16 year old Border Collie mix, recently passed. My family consists of several grand puppies who come for visits. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I am home most days all day long, with occasional appointments. I would love to go for walks with a dog. I have a pet friendly home with a large fenced yard. I have several grand puppies who visit. I love dogs and would welcome them into my home as part of my family.

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

About: I found my first love for dogs when I was about 5, and begged my mom to rescue Burrito Bob. I then grew up always having a dog around. My junior year of high school I decided to buy my very own goldendoodle, Toby James. Toby is the best dog ever, and more so my child than my dog! I have 2 goldendoodle’s of my own, and they have learned very quickly what it’s like to be spoiled (we love drive through, the word pup-cup, and car rides! Of course we also love going on walks and runs! I have grown up living with 5 dogs at once of all different breeds! I’ve also recently learned how to groom my own doodles! Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I’d love to care for your dogs like my own! I have 2 pups of my own that I treat like children! I enjoy taking my dogs for long walks and taking care of them! I will walk and let dogs out during the days! I have a 70 and 30 pound doodle that I walk at the same time! We recently welcomed our first non-fur baby into our home in October, and I am looking for a way to be the best mom I can be! What better way than daily walks and our absolute favorite thing - dogs?!

About: I've had animals almost my entire life. Right now, we have a 15 year old red tabby cat and a 5 1/2 year old American Bulldog. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and am comfortable around other animals. We moved to an acreage in rural Dallas County in 2017. If interested in boarding or daycare, please message me. We have an UNFENCED yard (1.7 acres) and we are next door to a cattle ranch operation, so please take those factors into consideration. I have had a pet sitter watch our animals in the past (and I can be picky). I would love to provide your pet with the utmost care, just as I would expect to receive from anyone watching my animals. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Jen did a great job with Dove. We left Dove with her for a few days of walking, and she sent us updates and took care of her as if she were her own. Dove was sad to see her leave at her meet-and-greet and is wondering when she’ll get lovely, long walks with Jen again. She may be new to the Rover platform, but you can tell she’s been around dogs for years and knows how to take care of them. We’d recommend her.

This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!

Meagan is amazing! Our dog always has a blast with her. Meagan is easy to communicate with and clearly cares very much for our dog. We will definitely ask her to help again.

Sherilynn was great. We did a meet and greet and then set up the visit time for drop off and pick up. She kept me informed on Kira’s visit and how everything was going. Will definitely use her again.

Great experience with boarding our 3 year old, Goldendoodle, Mango for the first time! Tanya and fam were great and Mango was exhausted when she came home! We got daily picture updates and she really seemed to enjoy her time there!

Jessica watched Tripper for us during our most recent trip out of town. It was our first time boarding Tripper anywhere, and he had a blast. He met and played with her dog Rip and cat Ghost as well as the other dogs she watched during his 5-day stay. He came home tired and happy. She communicated and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and sent us updates to let us know how Tripper was doing. We would absolutely love to board with her again. We highly recommend her!

Jessica was awesome. She took such great care of Ollie and helped him feel right at home. She gave him lots of attention and sent lots of photos and updates. Super fast responses and super easy to work with.

Patricia is easily the best sitter I’ve worked with on Rover. She has great communication, been excellent at following tasks specific to our dogs needs, sends plenty of photos, and it is clear that our Boca absolutely adores her and her family. Drop off is a breeze when my dog is thrilled to be there! I highly recommend her to care for your pet!

Shawna and her family watched our small dog Lucy for almost a full week. Shawna has a great property for dogs and I felt completely confident and comfortable leaving Lucy. Would 100% recommend.
