Lakin was amazing at letting us know how our little fur baby was coping away from home. She sent us picture and videos and always responded pretty quickly to any message we sent. Our booking was last minute and we are very grateful that Lakin was able to accommodate for us. Would book again!!

Jason was great—welcoming and flexible. His space is set up with animals in mind, and our normally indifferent dog had a great time playing there. He’s good at communicating and when we had to delay pickup by a few hours he was extremely accommodating.

About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

Megan really went above and beyond. There’s no doubt in my mind that we will be coming back here again. I cannot recommend it more.

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've always been surrounded by animals and have developed a natural ability to care for them. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m not only comfortable with dogs of all ages but also have experience handling puppies and providing senior dog care. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I'll be the one taking care of your pet personally, ensuring they get plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. We have a dog at home and an unfenced yard, but we're just one block away from a dog park, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. If needed, we can crate our dog to ensure safety and comfort during your pet's visit. We always prioritize the well-being of all pets in our care and will adjust our home environment as needed to meet your pet's needs.

Dillon took amazing care of my boy! His home is clean, pet-friendly, and a great spot for doggy stay-overs. Monte felt comfortable right away exploring every part of his house and meeting Shadow, which put me at ease. I got updates with photos, and it was clear Monte was having a great time and was well cared for. When I picked him up, he was all smiles and full of good energy. Dillon followed Monte’s complex feeding schedule and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. (and ear rubs) He truly treats every dog like his own. I highly recommend Dillon if you're looking for a great place for your fur baby to stay! I’ll definitely be booking with him again.

About: -I treat all pets like that are my own- it is not just "another booking" for me. -I try my best to keep all their routines consistent, so I don't add any extra stress to their life, since I am sure they are already missing you. -I adjust care to each pet's needs, and I am very patient with dogs who are anxious and shy and also ones that are very high energy. -I send frequent photo + video updates (unless you would not prefer this, please let me know, I am happy to refrain.) & I leave detailed visit summaries and always use the app, so you know when I am in your home. -I am responsible, reliable, caring and trustworthy. I have struggled to find the right pet sitter in the past before I used rover, and to find someone that was available when I needed them was everything. I would love to be that person for you, and able to help you out when you need it most. Pet care fits into my daily routine because my fiancé and I already structure our day around consistency with taking care of our own pets. Even with my full time job, I plan my schedule carefully so walks, check-ins, feedings and play sessions are never overlooked. Those are my dogs favorite parts of the day so I make sure to treat your pet the same way. Caring for pets is not something I squeeze in, it's something I love to do and make time for. Having pets of my own keeps me in routine of exercise, and attentive care which carries over right into how I look after every pet I am sitting for. Owners will feel confident in knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who lives this routine every day, not just during bookings. I provide attentive, structured and personalized care, whether pets are in my home or the clients home. I follow each pet's normal routines as closely as I can; including feeding schedule, walk times, medications, crate habits, and play preferences so I can keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets get a clean, safe and calm environment with supervised time, exercise and plenty of affection. I also have a friendly dog and cat who are well-socialized and get along with other dogs. If they are not crate trained I will be sure to sleep with them in our guest room so that they will get rest apart from where my dog and cat sleeps in our bedroom. In a client home I am respectful of the space and keep things so pets feel secure in their home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication and enrichment and I always send regular updates and photos, so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I need to know ahead of time if you dog gets along with cats, if they do not, I will need to watch your dog in your home. I also require a meet and greet if your pets will be coming to our home ahead of time to be sure they get along with our dog and cat as well.

So glad I had Lindsey to watch my little doggie! She was quick to respond to my request, and took the time to get to know my Molly and her routine. Even with my senior dog’s needs, Lindsey was excited to watch her. When I picked her up, they had been cuddling and cozy on the couch, so sweet! My picky Molly was so at ease, I was amazed! Can’t wait to use Lindsey as my sitter again.

Ariel and Patrick did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Shylo, while we were with a family member in the hospital. Shylo can be a bit shy at first, hence his name, but they were very welcoming, patient and gentle with him, allowing him to warm up at his own pace. They followed all of his routines and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind. We could tell Shylo was well-loved and cared for during his stay with them. We highly recommend Ariel and Patrick for their excellent pet boarding services.

About: I showed pitbulls semi professionally when I was a teenager. I have lived on a farm most my life so animals and I always get along. I'm currently working from home as a Game Developer. I am on a rugby team that practices Tuesday/Thursday 6-8pm and games on Saturdays, so there are a few select times I'm not available. I have a Husky who loves making new friends and 2 cats that are indifferent to others. I enjoy spending time with animals whether its cuddles, active play, or just sitting in the room so they aren't lonely.

About: I have had my own pet sitting business since I was 10 and have watched and cared all different breeds and even cats! I have a lot of experience with large, high-energy hunting breeds and ensure that each pup gets enough exercise each day. My favs are the dog park and the beach! I also trained my golden retriever, Harper in agility! In my free time I love to volunteer at the animal shelter, to give back! So I have experience with pets with separation anxiety and those that aren’t friendly with other pets! I ensure all pet parents are updated with pictures and videos! I currently go to school in Iowa City and wanted to watch some pets over break! I am free for the entire break, Mid December-Mid January! Either in my home or the clients I keep a close eye on the pet! I ensure adequate exercise and keeping the pet out of trouble. When in the clients home I make sure that I am locking doors and can take care of other household chores like garbage, shoveling, and dishes!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

Megan was very caring and attentive...making Jax feel very comfortable and safe in her home. She is a delightful person...and takes care of your pet as if it were her own. She has a lovely home with a very large fenced in yard...perfect for play and exercise. I would highly recommend Megan!

About: I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I donate a bag of treats each stay from my dog’s social media sponsor. We take a walk every single day. I am a teacher so I am out of the house from 7:45am - 4:00 pm Monday-Friday. I have some flexibility to leave early if need be. During lunch break, I use my Furbo camera to talk to my dog and launch a treat for him. I usually take my dog for a walk as soon as I get home from work. Weekends, I am typically home most the day. I have a ranch style single-family home that has a doggy door to a full turf and fully fenced back yard. I have the sweetest Golden Retriever that loves having other doggos come over. Warning: your pet will get lots of love and may not want to leave.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, bathing, brushing, enrichment play, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt my care to meet their individual needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment you can trust. I work Wednesdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and my husband works from home Monday through Friday, allowing us to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the week. We also have a 7-month-old baby in our home, so we maintain a calm, structured environment. Pets staying with us should be comfortable around infants and gentle in nature. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We have a yard for outdoor time; however, it is not fenced. All outdoor time is fully supervised and on leash to ensure your pet’s safety. We provide frequent potty breaks and maintain a calm, structured, pet-friendly home. Safety is our top priority, and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re happy to provide updates and photos during their stay for your peace of mind. 🐾Booking & Care Details🐾 Boarding is based on 24-hour care beginning at your scheduled drop-off time. Rover automatically applies extended care charges for late pick-ups beyond that window, so accurate timing is important when booking. Holiday rates apply to major travel dates. Puppies and additional dogs are charged at adjusted rates due to the increased supervision required. For longer stays or work-travel bookings, I’m happy to discuss customized arrangements. 🐾 Meet & Greet Policy🐾 A meet and greet is required for all new clients prior to confirming a boarding stay. This ensures your dog is comfortable in our home environment and is a safe fit around children and other animals. Meet and greets allow us to review routines, temperament, and expectations so your pet’s stay is smooth and stress-free.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

Lakin was amazing at letting us know how our little fur baby was coping away from home. She sent us picture and videos and always responded pretty quickly to any message we sent. Our booking was last minute and we are very grateful that Lakin was able to accommodate for us. Would book again!!

Jason was great—welcoming and flexible. His space is set up with animals in mind, and our normally indifferent dog had a great time playing there. He’s good at communicating and when we had to delay pickup by a few hours he was extremely accommodating.

I was extremely about leaving my super energetic pointer puppy while we went out of town but it turned out great! He got excellent care and looked very content in every picture I received.

About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

I am blown away by the commitment and dedication to taking care of not only my dog, but all the dogs in that environment. I received numerous photos which I thoroughly enjoyed. Megan really went above and beyond. There’s no doubt in my mind that we will be coming back here again. I cannot recommend it more.

Dillon took amazing care of my boy! His home is clean, pet-friendly, and a great spot for doggy stay-overs. Monte felt comfortable right away exploring every part of his house and meeting Shadow, which put me at ease. I got updates with photos, and it was clear Monte was having a great time and was well cared for. When I picked him up, he was all smiles and full of good energy. Dillon followed Monte’s complex feeding schedule and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. (and ear rubs) He truly treats every dog like his own. I highly recommend Dillon if you're looking for a great place for your fur baby to stay! I’ll definitely be booking with him again.

About: -I treat all pets like that are my own- it is not just "another booking" for me. -I try my best to keep all their routines consistent, so I don't add any extra stress to their life, since I am sure they are already missing you. -I adjust care to each pet's needs, and I am very patient with dogs who are anxious and shy and also ones that are very high energy. -I send frequent photo + video updates (unless you would not prefer this, please let me know, I am happy to refrain.) & I leave detailed visit summaries and always use the app, so you know when I am in your home. -I am responsible, reliable, caring and trustworthy. I have struggled to find the right pet sitter in the past before I used rover, and to find someone that was available when I needed them was everything. I would love to be that person for you, and able to help you out when you need it most. Pet care fits into my daily routine because my fiancé and I already structure our day around consistency with taking care of our own pets. Even with my full time job, I plan my schedule carefully so walks, check-ins, feedings and play sessions are never overlooked. Those are my dogs favorite parts of the day so I make sure to treat your pet the same way. Caring for pets is not something I squeeze in, it's something I love to do and make time for. Having pets of my own keeps me in routine of exercise, and attentive care which carries over right into how I look after every pet I am sitting for. Owners will feel confident in knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who lives this routine every day, not just during bookings. I provide attentive, structured and personalized care, whether pets are in my home or the clients home. I follow each pet's normal routines as closely as I can; including feeding schedule, walk times, medications, crate habits, and play preferences so I can keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets get a clean, safe and calm environment with supervised time, exercise and plenty of affection. I also have a friendly dog and cat who are well-socialized and get along with other dogs. If they are not crate trained I will be sure to sleep with them in our guest room so that they will get rest apart from where my dog and cat sleeps in our bedroom. In a client home I am respectful of the space and keep things so pets feel secure in their home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication and enrichment and I always send regular updates and photos, so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I need to know ahead of time if you dog gets along with cats, if they do not, I will need to watch your dog in your home. I also require a meet and greet if your pets will be coming to our home ahead of time to be sure they get along with our dog and cat as well.

So glad I had Lindsey to watch my little doggie! She was quick to respond to my request, and took the time to get to know my Molly and her routine. Even with my senior dog’s needs, Lindsey was excited to watch her. When I picked her up, they had been cuddling and cozy on the couch, so sweet! My picky Molly was so at ease, I was amazed! Can’t wait to use Lindsey as my sitter again.
