“Alex really enjoyed his stay with Myle. She gave the right amount of pictures to show how he is doing. He be came friend with her dogs. We will ask for more dog stays in the future. Thank you for taking care of Alex. Gave us comfort knowing he is doing good. 😀”
“Not only that my pups were in great hands and loves Kaylee and Nick more than their own owners, we were also at ease and stressed-free during our family vacation. Very clean, very impressed and very accommodating with all our needs.”
“This is the first time we used Rover and boarded our dog with Michaela P. Frankie is a sensitive dog and not the easiest to take care of, but Michaela worked with us before the boarding to make Frankie feel comfortable in her home. He did really well at Michaela's. You can tell she really cares for the dogs and kept us updated on his boarding with notes and pictures. We are extremely happy with Michaela and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Steve was an exceptionally good dog sitter for our two dogs. They had never spent overnights with a different person, so we were not sure how it would go, but Steve was really good with them. He sent us texts and pictures more than once a day to reassure us they were in good shape. He was kind and friendly with them, going above and beyond to care for them. We highly recommend Steve and will certainly seek him out for future sittings.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Susan was on point with all the things I was looking for!! Great communication from start to finish, very welcoming and attentive to my needs and requests, sent pictures and updates and my doggie absolutely loved his stay and good bye snuggles. Will definitely book again!!”
“My senior Frenchie has anxiety issues and socialization issues (former breeding dog), so naturally I was very nervous bringing her to a stranger. I needed overnight boarding, and didn't know if it would be possible with her anxiety. As soon as I met Kat I was put at ease, from the pictures she sent me I can tell she took to her very quickly. Followed all instructions to a tee, and gave me helpful suggestions on walking her. Every interaction was professional, courteous, and warm. 10/10 would highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’ll admit I was nervous but Josh was amazing. He watched Nova for 4 nights in his home. He gave me multiple updates per day with photos. Josh walked Nova twice per day. He was extremely kind and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone who is hesitant about the whole Rover process. So glad we didn’t have to board our dog and she could have a place to stay and be loved while we were out of the country.”
“Tiffany and her family are great with our little Ronnie. He is well taken care of and he really has a lot of fun there. We check to see if Tiffany’s available before we consider anyone else to take care of our baby boy! Ronnie is always happy and relaxed after his stay with Tiffany!”
“Nathan is a trooper, all in no matter what "in" entails. When we left Sam, Nathan immediately took time to connect with him - he met our dog's excitement with a peaceful, calm demeanor. Unfortunately while we were away, Nathan had an accident resulting in painful injuries. Due to flights, the earliest we could get back was a day early (he didn't ask, we offered.) I felt terrible, but there was nothing we could do from our end. When we did pick up our large and active pup, he was happy, peaceful, clean, and seemed to be cared for. Once Nathan has had a minute to heal we will absolutely book with him again. Much gratitude and swift recovery, Nathan!”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing Rover services for our dog Ruby. Jamie sent pictures and updates each day. It was such a reassurance knowing Ruby was so well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jamie!!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Our first time using Rover! We booked very last minute but Chloe was able to quickly answer several questions I had and accommodate a brief meet and greet the evening after contacting her, before we left our dogs at the farm the next two nights. We received periodic pictures and updates that the dogs were settled in and enjoying the outdoors. The setup felt similar to how we’ve boarded our dogs in the past. Chloe was very friendly and professional. We were very appreciative that this worked out!”
“Amanda was great! She took my very energetic and sometimes anxious puppy over a holiday weekend with very short notice and he did amazing with her. She sent pictures and updates and spoiled him! We will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Eric was very accommodating and thoughtful; sending. Pics and videos of our Rizzo living his best life playing with other dogs. We will definitely book with Eric again!!!”
“Aryal is very knowledgeable and has a great setup for hosting kitties! She took excellent care of both cats and helped one get recover from an eye infection. I also appreciate the detailed updates and photos! Thank you so much for your help!”

“Danielle was great. I hired her to watch my cat for a week while I was on vacation and it was the best decision. She's very observant and truly cares. I received updates every morning and evening along with pictures and videos. Ted loved her too which also made me feel better while being away. Thank you for taking such great care of my Ted!”

About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.

“Chrissy was AMAZING with my Lab and Rottweiler. I recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies watched. She was very communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would🤩”
“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time and I always keep the water bowl full. My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the chance to meet y'all! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.
“I have used Angie for in home drop ins and in home day care at her place. I had a senior dog and she took the time to learn his needs, and understands the personality of high strung crazy golden retriever. Also love getting the text and picture updates. She was very willing to help me out when I was in pinch also!”
“This was our first time doing Rover and Amanda made us feel confident that we were leaving our puppy in good hands. Amanda and her family were amazing from start to finish. We would definitely recommend her to anyone we know.”
“My 9 year old, handicapped, German Shepard, little lady had an awesome time with Aryl, her pack and her family! We've already booked another stay. 🥰 This stay took place over overnight for 7 consecutive nights while I was at work. This was the first time not to allow her to stay at home alone. After a few rough nights alone, getting stuck a couple times, and then not able to make it through the night without apotty break, I knew I needed to find someone. Because Miss Black has lost use of her hind legs and is now in a wheelchair her care is a little more complex. Aryl administered her medication, assisted as needed going potty, and kept her cleaned up and smelling fresh every morning. This has been such a relief knowing she is in good hands. It gave me such peace of mind while I was working. Aryl didn't have any problems reading her communication signs. Even when she had other Rover dogs over, she was able to give Miss Black everything she needed. I believe Aryl's past experiences have given her the insight she needed to provide great care. Instead of wondering what I was going to walk into after a long shift, I was greeted by my smiling pup right inside the door.”
“Amanda took great care of my bubbies! I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the day with updates and pictures so that I knew they were adjusting well.”
“Fantastic care giver for our dog. Equally fantastic person for dealing with scheduling uncertainties, changes, etc. Will definitely try to have her care for our dog the next time we’re in the Cedar Rapids vicinity. Thanks, Ashleigh!”

“Our goldendoodle Gus had a wonderful day with Shannon and her husband! Thank you for making Gus feel welcome in your beautiful home. He was one tired pup when he got home from all the walks and playtime with the stuffed toys!”
About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller.

I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

“Tee-Tee was EXTREMELY accommodating after the first walker I booked became unresponsive HOURS before I had to leave for a work trip out of state. Tee-Tee was on time, very communicative and through the pictures & videos she sent, I could tell my dogs already love her! I definitely will be using her again!”

Thanks! Hi guys! I’m Chrissy. I have been dog sitting for over 9 years now. I love dogs more than people & I love spoiling your babies. I can do pet boarding, house sitting, daily check ins, walks & much needed loving and spoiling. We offer a very pet friendly home inside and out. I have 1 pup- he’s 5 years old and he is very friendly. We spoil and love in our home. They can snuggle on our couch or beds. We go for walks and have lots of outdoor play time too! We even have a doggy pool for those darn hot summer/fall days!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15 I’m now 20 and I want to make your pups feel loved even when you are away. I have two jobs one full time which is a 7-5 and my 2nd job I can move my schedule to help take care of your pups as long as you contact me before the 9th of the next month which I know is really a head but it helps me out! I have a fenced in yard and friendly pups or if your pup doesn’t like animals I can help you out by staying home with them at your house. I also offer bathing and trimming of nails, feet, and sanitary, and full trims depending on what kind of pup you have!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for my entire life. As a kid, my family bred and raised Shih Tzus. I have experience with all ages! I am currently working part time/as needed while attending college part time. I have a flexible schedule and commute from Charles City to Waterloo most every day. I have a private, fenced in backyard. My wiener dog, Tootsie, enjoys roaming our 3-bedroom house, sunbathing on the couches, and snuggling in bed.

I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!

“Not only that my pups were in great hands and loves Kaylee and Nick more than their own owners, we were also at ease and stressed-free during our family vacation. Very clean, very impressed and very accommodating with all our needs.”
“This is the first time we used Rover and boarded our dog with Michaela P. Frankie is a sensitive dog and not the easiest to take care of, but Michaela worked with us before the boarding to make Frankie feel comfortable in her home. He did really well at Michaela's. You can tell she really cares for the dogs and kept us updated on his boarding with notes and pictures. We are extremely happy with Michaela and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Steve was an exceptionally good dog sitter for our two dogs. They had never spent overnights with a different person, so we were not sure how it would go, but Steve was really good with them. He sent us texts and pictures more than once a day to reassure us they were in good shape. He was kind and friendly with them, going above and beyond to care for them. We highly recommend Steve and will certainly seek him out for future sittings.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’ll admit I was nervous but Josh was amazing. He watched Nova for 4 nights in his home. He gave me multiple updates per day with photos. Josh walked Nova twice per day. He was extremely kind and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone who is hesitant about the whole Rover process. So glad we didn’t have to board our dog and she could have a place to stay and be loved while we were out of the country.”
“Tiffany and her family are great with our little Ronnie. He is well taken care of and he really has a lot of fun there. We check to see if Tiffany’s available before we consider anyone else to take care of our baby boy! Ronnie is always happy and relaxed after his stay with Tiffany!”
“Nathan is a trooper, all in no matter what "in" entails. When we left Sam, Nathan immediately took time to connect with him - he met our dog's excitement with a peaceful, calm demeanor. Unfortunately while we were away, Nathan had an accident resulting in painful injuries. Due to flights, the earliest we could get back was a day early (he didn't ask, we offered.) I felt terrible, but there was nothing we could do from our end. When we did pick up our large and active pup, he was happy, peaceful, clean, and seemed to be cared for. Once Nathan has had a minute to heal we will absolutely book with him again. Much gratitude and swift recovery, Nathan!”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing Rover services for our dog Ruby. Jamie sent pictures and updates each day. It was such a reassurance knowing Ruby was so well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jamie!!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Our first time using Rover! We booked very last minute but Chloe was able to quickly answer several questions I had and accommodate a brief meet and greet the evening after contacting her, before we left our dogs at the farm the next two nights. We received periodic pictures and updates that the dogs were settled in and enjoying the outdoors. The setup felt similar to how we’ve boarded our dogs in the past. Chloe was very friendly and professional. We were very appreciative that this worked out!”
“Amanda was great! She took my very energetic and sometimes anxious puppy over a holiday weekend with very short notice and he did amazing with her. She sent pictures and updates and spoiled him! We will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Eric was very accommodating and thoughtful; sending. Pics and videos of our Rizzo living his best life playing with other dogs. We will definitely book with Eric again!!!”
“Aryal is very knowledgeable and has a great setup for hosting kitties! She took excellent care of both cats and helped one get recover from an eye infection. I also appreciate the detailed updates and photos! Thank you so much for your help!”
“I have two small dogs. One of them is super sweet and everybody’s favorite. The other is standoffish and identifies as Houdini. They both did very well staying for almost a week at Katrina‘s house. When they came back home they were calm, with no signs of anxiety. I have had to use dog sitters three times this year already. This was the first time with Katrina. They did much better with her. She seems to genuinely enjoy having them stay with her.”
“If I could give Alison 10 stars I would. She was our hero this last weekend. Our poor pup caught a case of diarrhea the first night that we left her with the original sitter. While we were on the runway waiting for our airplane to take off, the original sitter called us panicking saying that she could not continue to watch our dog. Rover helped us get in contact with Alison who answered the call for help immediately. She drove all the way to the other sitter’s house to pick up our baby and took amazing care of her. Alison hand fed our dog when she was feeling sick and took her out every hour throughout the night. She made our pup feel right at home and put our minds at ease too. Alison is absolutely the type of person that can be trusted to treat your pet like her own family.”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
