“Melanie was amazing with our dog Jack. She was available in a short period of time and so communicative. Her daughters were also great with him. He seemed so happy and loved his stay! Would stay again!”
“Kat and her family were great hosts to my pup! They went over and above with making sure he was well looked after, and were incredibly patient with him. I'm very grateful! Thanks Kat!”
“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Meagan was fantastic. She clearly adores dogs and made Dottie feel right at home for the weekend. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos. I appreciated her great attitude and care.”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“Samantha is the best with dogs! She always sends multiple update photos per day and I can tell my dog is always living her best life at Samantha's house. Very clean and fenced in backyard, knows her stuff, I HIGHLY recommend!”
“Lara and Cary provided Bear the home away from home that he needed while we were away. Lara sent pictures of Bear reassuring us that he was the king of the castle at yet another house. They enjoyed him and pampered him. Quite a treat for our older dog who can be a bit grumpy with his new playful younger sister, Sadie Mae.”
“Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Amanda was so great with our pups! She was always keeping us in the loop with our pups and gave us such a peaceful trip knowing our pups were having such a great time with her and her family! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Ivana treated Max like he was her family. He was happy feeling part of the team with her dogs. He was pampered and loved. I will definitely use Ivana again.. so satisfied with her care for Max.🥰”
“Jessica will be our first call the next time we need to board our dogs. She took care of them like they were her own, was very organized and responsive with communication. This was our first time using Rover, but now I can’t imagine sending our dogs back to the kennel.”
“Holly and her family are awesome. Sally and Sam really didn’t want to leave to come home. Holly kept me very up to date on what was going on with them. She sent photos also. I believe they had a great time and I will use Holly anytime we go on vacations.”
“Nicole and her family took excellent care of Teddy. Quick, easy communication and zero drama. Both drop-off and pick-up were smooth/seamless. Nicole sent pictures and updates daily. Teddy left Nicole’s home tired and happy. Many thanks to Nicole/kids/husband and resident pack for a lovely stay!”
“This was our first booking and we were nervous. Candace and her family were absolutely amazing. Drop off and pick up were convenient and flexible. Lilo seemed to absolutely love his time with them. We got updates and pics of how he was doing, this certainly put our minds at ease. We booked Candace almost immediately again for our next trip because they left us so comfortable with their care of Lilo. We are so happy we found this family to care for our guy.”
“Tam and her partner were exactly who you'd want to leave your fur baby with, and in my case, totally saved the day with a last minute booking. They were friendly, extremely responsive and from the pictures, my picky chihuahua had a great time. Would def book again!”
“Angela and her family were wonderful with my two babies. They look great, supplies were returned nice and clean, and the pictures Angela sent from their stay made me feel a lot better about leaving them”
“Our 2 dogs had a great time during their 1-week stay with Alysha and her family! She was consistently quick to respond and sent pictures daily, which we really appreciated! Our dogs enjoyed the mini pool in her backyard and many treats. We have no complaints from their stay with her! Would re-book if needed in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover to find someone to board our dog while we had a long weekend trip. We were cautious, because we have had no do great experiences with traditional boarding kennels with our dog Toby. After reading reviews, we booked with Alok. He offered to have Toby come over to his house and do a "meet and greet" prior to our booking date, so he could see the house and meet Alok and his kids. Toby seemed right at home during the meet and greet and we had a nice visit with Alok and his daughter. We could tell Toby was going to be well cared for. We dropped Toby off on boarding day and he seemed happy to see us go. Lol. During his 3 day boarding, Alok kept me and my family updated with messages and pictures of Toby, which really reassured us we made a great decision. When we picked Toby up, Alok said he did great and that made us very happy to hear. He seemed to love Alok and we could tell he had a great time there. We will certainly not hesitate to use Alok in the future and I suggest you do as well. Thanks so much, Alok! - The Meurer's”

“Thank you for watching my princess while I was on my vacation. Because she is shy around strangers, it was such a relief to see her trust you and become more comfortable with you each day”
“Karly is always amazing with our fur babies. She was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate a later shift for my husband and she stopped back to check on them so we didn’t have to worry. Love that she is so reliable and loves them like we do.”
“I made a booking in a very short notice but she checked on my cats.I asked her to get a cat litter because I am out of it and she did.She changed the cat litter and throw the dirty one in the garbage outside my apartment.I'll be booking a pet sitting again next week because I am traveling.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Heather is FANTASTIC!!! Very easy to communicate with, timely, kind, and really cares for our pet. She asked great questions for things I didn’t even think of and she made sure our dog was well taken care of while we were unavailable.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have four cats that I’ve cared for for the past four years. Growing up, my family always had dogs ranging from small to large breeds, so I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. I’ve also helped care for family members’ dogs over the years, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and truly enjoy being around animals. I always try to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home.
“Jenna is fantastic!! She does all that I ask of her to do. She is very flexible and extremely cooperative! I am very comfortable having Jenna care for my 4 cats. She is becoming a part of the family!! Thank you for all you do Jenna! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Jessica was a lifesaver on short notice. She took great care of our babies and sent photos. We got a super cute letter from the kitties :) It was nice to know they were loved on in our absence!”

I spend time with the rescue puppies, taking care of them, playing with them, etc. My family also often foster dogs from Ruff Start, Belle was a foster dog before we decided to adopt her! I am currently searching for a summer part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your pets this summer! I will be in the Ankeny area until August 10th when I move back to Ames for college!

I'm currently a stay at home mom taking care of my two boys and our one dog. I have pretty open availability for whenever you need!

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!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! From reptiles, to dogs and cats, to horses, to marine life. I have a passion for training my own and my family’s pets as well as just being in the presence of animals! I volunteered at Aheinz in De Soto, Iowa in their puppy area and loved every minute! I work at a full time job in Grimes, Iowa but I would have some availability in the mornings between 6-8am. Otherwise, I am mostly free in the evenings and weekends. If you are willing to be flexible I can be flexible too! I have a secured privacy fence with a huge backyard that is dog friendly! I also make sure to use trusted routes for walking that will keep myself and the dog entertained! I won’t leave any doors or gates open and I’ll be mindful of any escape artists in my care.

“Kimberlee is AWESOME!! Her and her son gave my pup all the lovins all day and she gave me updates throughout the day! She is very attentive and has a huge passion/love for dogs. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Jen was amazing!! She accepted our last minute request and was super flexible! She took great care of our senior pup with special needs. He had a great time and was happy and worn out at pick up!!”
“I can’t thank Meagan enough for taking care of my Joey today. It was me and my fur babies first dog sitting experience with Rover. Meagan made him feel welcome the minute we walked in the door, reached out and provided updates with pictures during the day, along with helping Joey socialize with dogs in her home. I look forward to rebooking with her the future. thank you so much! Kathy”
About: Hi! My name is Roxy, and I’m a dependable, compassionate pet sitter who loves caring for animals of all kinds. Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip, I provide loving care to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to follow your instructions carefully. My services include: • Dog walking and exercise • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Overnight or drop-in visits • Litter box and waste cleanup • Photo and text updates while you’re away I’m trustworthy, patient, and committed to treating your pets like family. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have used trusted care for my pets and understand how important it is to have someone to help when needed. I have two friendly Australian shepherds and experience with many breeds, sizes and ages. I have grown up with pets my entire life and owned multiple dogs for 20 years. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working a hybrid schedule and am home 2-3 days during the week. I have availability for in home and drop in visits or walks during the weekend as well. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly and fixed dogs to give yours company while away. Open to in home or drop in visits as needed along with walks and needed exercise. I have two children that have been raised around pets that respect them and enjoy playing with them. If your dog prefers a crate we are a crate trained home.
“Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.”
“Ivana did an amazing job! She treated our puppies like they were family, and they looked forward to going to her place every day. We will definitely have our pups stay with Ivana again.”
“They are so lovely! A massive yard for Ace to run in which he definitely needed. Her dogs are so friendly and playful. Her children are also very helpful and respectful in asking if they can give my dog one of their dog toys. Will definitely be coming back!”
“This family is so wholesome and adorable it feels like dropping your dog off in a Disney movie for the day. Angela took great care of my dog and is very responsive to messages. 10/10 will be using her again.”
“This was our second time using Rover, and we were initially nervous about leaving our two dogs with someone new. However, Beth quickly put us at ease, making us feel comfortable about her taking care of our pets for the day. She did a great job, and we would happily have her watch them again.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. It was easy to set up - our first time using rover. Communication was prompt - she was so pleasant and we felt very comfortable with our dog staying at her house. Can't say enough - she was great, and we would love to have more bookings with her.”
“Cynthia did a fantastic job of taking care of our dog. She sent updates and even video of our dog playing outside and looking very happy. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you for taking such good care of Golde!”
“Sherilynn is the absolute best! Daisy loves going to her home! She knows the days that she goes and she is always so excited to see Sherilynn and her family! When I pick Daisy up, she is always disappointed to have to leave her friends!”
About: I will care for your pet by meeting their physical and emotional needs. We will play, exercise, relax and have an all around great time. I will follow all of your directions as well as send pictures and videos. I will always be available by text. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend time having fun with other's pet(s). I can tend to pets any time of the day. Safety is my number one priority. I respect moms/dads needs and wants for their pet(s). I love to play and have fun. I will send pictures and videos. I will always be available for calls.
About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.
“It has been a privilege to have met Ali. Her joy over these silly, unique, fun, and personable dogs is infectious. Ali helped to train my dog! Ali helped me to better train my dog! Ali excellent communication skills, easy laughter and a person I could count on. Both Gracie and I will miss her greatly as we have to move out of town. But between Gracie's nose and my memory, we will hope to get near her again.”
About: My experience in the dog industry goes beyond just boarding or sitting. I have the knowledge, skills, and experience training dogs of all ages and breeds, including service dogs. I currently work part time teaching group classes, leaving quite a bit of my time available to do other things involving dogs. In addition to a safe and friendly place to stay, your dog will get daily enrichment activities and, if needed, house manners training (go to place, leave it, keeping all 4 paws on the floor, going in/out of doorways). I work part-time training group classes, which allows me to have the time needed to care for the dogs staying with me. I'm available for boarding during the week, weekends, most holidays, single overnights and extended stays. My availability for day time sitting can vary but my calendar will always be updated with those times. All interactions between dogs are supervised to ensure those interactions are a positive experience and a safe experience. I don't have a fenced in yard so each time going outside is on leash, so leash manners will be worked on. I have crates and exercise pens for dogs who get crated at night. During meal times dogs are separated from each other as a precaution to prevent resource guarding. I do have a "gated community" inside my house to prevent mischief in the kitchen or going upstairs to bedrooms.

“This is the second time Karly has been our walker for Bella. The first time was a 5 week hire while we were out of town. The second time was a short notice two day walker stint. Always punctual through both terms, and always caring. We felt very comfortable knowing Karly was watching our Senior Labrador Bella. Bella loved it too!”
“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”
About: I used to work as a certified dog trainer and managed a daycare / boarding facility for 2 years. I was an employee there for longer. 12 hour days every day with dogs of all types. I know how to administer medications, including insulin. I also know how to handle myself in emergency situations, I've learned dog first aid and I've broken up fights in my time that would've been deadly if I wasn't there. I am currently a general contractor making my schedule very open, my wife loves helping with pets of all kinds as well which allows for more care opportunities. The only thing that wouldn't likely work would be multiple days of house sitting IF I am not able to leave for 3-4 hours at a time. I have a hard time spending an extended amount of time not being able to see my infant son! I'll do whatever someone wants for their pet, assuming it's reasonable. I'm okay on multiple large walks, extended play time outside, anything like that is 100% okay. From dogs- cows- fish we would love to help provide dependable care and always ensure your pets are treated with the upmost respect and attention they deserve!

Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for animals every day with my own pets. I’m a teacher, so during the summers I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to help with walks, drop-ins, feedings, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I genuinely look forward to being part of my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and go on walks or potty breaks as needed. I also make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m respectful of each client’s home and always keep things clean, organized, and well cared for.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my own. I know every dog has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give mine. Whether they enjoy an energetic walk or a slow stroll, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for, with plenty of photo updates along the way. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs of my own. I also have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with dogs, so fitting pet care into my routine comes naturally. I always follow each pet’s routine and your instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, attention, and sniff time they enjoy while staying safe on leash. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide fresh water, feed meals if needed, give potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I'm an experienced pet care professional with over four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments! I've worked in an animal shelter, a dog boarding and daycare facility, and a dog training facility, giving me experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and pets with unique needs. I'm currently earning my animal training certification, which continues to strengthen my understanding of animal behavior and positive, reward-based handling techniques.

About: Animal lover and owner for 15+ years, with experience caring for dogs, cats, snakes, and a crested gecko. I genuinely love caring for pets, whether they’re mine or yours! I’m always happy to help keep them safe, loved, and well cared for As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is naturally flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I love being able to use that flexibility to help care for other families’ pets whenever they need it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your animals with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow all routines closely, provide plenty of love and supervision, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens and senior dogs and cats. I am patient and take the lead from them whether they are shy or playful. I am comfortable administering medication, as needed. I will treat your pet as a member if your family. I will ensure their safety and well-being while you are away. I’m newly retired and looking for something meaningful to spend my time. What can be better their caring and loving someone’s fur-babies! I have reliable transportation and have a flexible schedule. I am reliable, responsible and understand that pets need routine. I will come in and respect your home as my own. I will provide loving care of your pets including play, walks and snuggles.
About: I've always had pets be apart of my life ever since I can remember. I love all animals! I've had experience with both cats and dogs. I'm familiar with senior pets as well, my furry friend is living his best senior life right now. I'm able to give oral medications as well if need be!

I'm currently a stay at home mom taking care of my two boys and our one dog. I have pretty open availability for whenever you need! Your pets will get plenty of play time and love while they're with me, they'll be treated just as if they were my own. I love to take them outside to get some energy out and enjoy the nice weather. Inside we will have lots of toys and snuggles dont you worry!
About: As a dog mama myself, I understand that our dogs are more than just our pets. They’re an integral part of our family! I strive to provide them with the necessary care they need, but also the enrichment they need to thrive and live a happy life. I love to play with them, take them out for walks, and provide them with love and pets. It’s important to me that they are not just physically cared for, but they are mentally stimulated through play and emotionally cared for at every visit. I'm always mindful that all pets should be greeted with a slow introduction, that does not come off as intrusive, or threatening. Even the most social pets, can behave differently when an unfamiliar person enters their home while family is not present. I always take that into consideration upon each visit, as I get to know your dog/cat, and build a trusting relationship. Whether your pet goes out on a leash, uses a fenced in yard, or requires potty pads to go to the bathroom, I'll follow your instructions as discussed through the Rover app, or during our initial "meet and greet". Requested information about your pet -Medication schedule -Behavioral issues that may affect walking your pet on public sidewalks, history of biting or aggression while being fed. -Ongoing medical conditions -Vet number and/or emergency contact I currently work on a hybrid schedule - 3 days in West Des Moines and 2 days at home in Ankeny. I have a flexible schedule where I can pop around to your pet when needed. I have a heart for animals along with the patience needed to give quality pet care. Your pet will always come first and I would treat them as if they are my own.
About: I live on a farm and I have had/have all different types of dogs and all other farm animals growing up. I am very particular in the care of my pets that would take your needs of your pets very seriously. I’m a stay at home animal mom already. I have a flexible schedule that I can work with you to get the best schedule for your pets needs. Stopping by mornings, afternoons, evenings! * I only do drop in visits and walks* I am able to give the clients pet the love and care it needs while they are away. I’m very particular about my own pets care that it is my personal duty to keep the clients normal routine for their pet as close as possible for pets best interest. With plenty of updates.
About: I have been dog sitting for my friends and family for years. I work from home 2 days a week and have a large fenced in backyard. I have a 3 bedroom house located a few block from a bike/walking trail. I would like a dog of my own but my schedule doesn’t allow for that so cuddling and spending time with your dog would be perfect. Your dog will have access to my furniture while I am home. I can maintain a set schedule and provide your dog with love and care while you are away. Your pet would be in a kennel very minimal and have lots of attention. Would just be in a kennel if I need to run errands. I have a large fenced in backyard that your pet will love to run free in. The fence was replaced summer of 2021 after the derecho. I work a hybrid schedule 3 days in an office 2 days at home. My boyfriend is home every Friday, he does not work Fridays. I have a large privacy fenced in yard for your dog to play in. I can kennel or crate your dog at your preference. I have a lock on the inside of my front door incase a dog jumps and opens the door.
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!

“Kat and her family were great hosts to my pup! They went over and above with making sure he was well looked after, and were incredibly patient with him. I'm very grateful! Thanks Kat!”
“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Meagan was fantastic. She clearly adores dogs and made Dottie feel right at home for the weekend. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos. I appreciated her great attitude and care.”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“Lara and Cary provided Bear the home away from home that he needed while we were away. Lara sent pictures of Bear reassuring us that he was the king of the castle at yet another house. They enjoyed him and pampered him. Quite a treat for our older dog who can be a bit grumpy with his new playful younger sister, Sadie Mae.”
“Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Amanda was so great with our pups! She was always keeping us in the loop with our pups and gave us such a peaceful trip knowing our pups were having such a great time with her and her family! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Jessica will be our first call the next time we need to board our dogs. She took care of them like they were her own, was very organized and responsive with communication. This was our first time using Rover, but now I can’t imagine sending our dogs back to the kennel.”
“Holly and her family are awesome. Sally and Sam really didn’t want to leave to come home. Holly kept me very up to date on what was going on with them. She sent photos also. I believe they had a great time and I will use Holly anytime we go on vacations.”
“Nicole and her family took excellent care of Teddy. Quick, easy communication and zero drama. Both drop-off and pick-up were smooth/seamless. Nicole sent pictures and updates daily. Teddy left Nicole’s home tired and happy. Many thanks to Nicole/kids/husband and resident pack for a lovely stay!”
“Our 2 dogs had a great time during their 1-week stay with Alysha and her family! She was consistently quick to respond and sent pictures daily, which we really appreciated! Our dogs enjoyed the mini pool in her backyard and many treats. We have no complaints from their stay with her! Would re-book if needed in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover to find someone to board our dog while we had a long weekend trip. We were cautious, because we have had no do great experiences with traditional boarding kennels with our dog Toby. After reading reviews, we booked with Alok. He offered to have Toby come over to his house and do a "meet and greet" prior to our booking date, so he could see the house and meet Alok and his kids. Toby seemed right at home during the meet and greet and we had a nice visit with Alok and his daughter. We could tell Toby was going to be well cared for. We dropped Toby off on boarding day and he seemed happy to see us go. Lol. During his 3 day boarding, Alok kept me and my family updated with messages and pictures of Toby, which really reassured us we made a great decision. When we picked Toby up, Alok said he did great and that made us very happy to hear. He seemed to love Alok and we could tell he had a great time there. We will certainly not hesitate to use Alok in the future and I suggest you do as well. Thanks so much, Alok! - The Meurer's”

“This was our first stay with Jessica and we could not be more pleased! Our older dog settled right in at Jessica's. She did a great job of updating us and sending pictures. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was very well cared for. We will definitely leave our dog with Jessica 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.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla! She responds quickly and is so easy to work with. She watched my dog in her home and made leaving my pup so easy and I came home to a calm, stress-free dog. She kept in touch and sent pictures to reassure me they were doing great. Best of all, my dog loved her!! Thanks Kayla!”
“Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!”
