“Gabby had the best time for her stay away from me. She received excellent care with Angi. I received pictures of Gabby every day and Angi filled me in how she was doing. Angi said she was a very good girl. Thank you Angi. Jeannie”
“This was our first time booking with Melissa and our dog would be there 9 days!! She was very welcoming and took great care of our dog. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos. Our dog got along great with her two dogs. I would highly recommend boarding with Melissa!!”
“Krysten and her family were so great with my dog! Her kiddos even played fetch with my dog and kept her busy. I really appreciated her picture, and even video while I was away. My dog is somewhat timid but as soon as Krysten opened her door my dog was off and felt welcomed in for her stay, thank you!!”
“Highly recommend Melissa. Her replies are quick, within moments, she cared for Addie for the day and I returned to a very calm happy pup. It was cute when we arrived her mini Aussie ran out to greet my dog and was very sweet and put us both at ease quickly. Will book again.”
“Our two pugs must have had a wonderful time because they came home calm and tired! :) Jayne was communicated well and was patient with all our questions! The rest of the family is welcoming and treated Walter and Ruby very well! We will definitely be asking them again!”
“Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host - basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for - the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.”
“Paige and her family were AMAZING!!! Gracie (my pup) and i did a meet and greet prior to booking and from that moment i knew she was going to be in great hands. Paige sent adorable pics everyday and went above and beyond by with all the love and playtime, even added an egg to Gracie’s supper (something i mentioned i do at home but to keep things simple for Paige, i didn’t bring any). Upon pick up, Gracie was excited to see me but not over anxious to leave, this told me she was in amazing, loving hands all weekend. ❤️”
“Excellent my experience, first time using this app, worried that everything is fine with my dog, but Corey and Lauren gave me peace of mind, sending me photos and videos every day, very grateful to them”
“We are SO happy with the care Marnie/Jeffery & family gave to our Luna! They went above and beyond for our girl and kept us updated as they watched her! We couldn’t be happier and will definitely bring our girl back to them! This was our first time using Rover and we could be happier with the care Luna got and how affordable!! THANK YOU!”
“Anna provided good care for my 2 dogs. She kept us updated with pictures and their feeding at regular intervals. She is very timely with her communications - be it questions from us or proactive updates on her end. We will definitely consider her for future needs.”
“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there again.”
“Christina was wonderful! Our dog is older and a rescue so new people/places can bother her but she settled right in at Christina’s home and did great. Christina showered her with attention & love. She was flexible with drop-off & pick-up times which was helpful. This was our first Rover experience - we will certainly use the service again & hopefully Christina will be available as she would be our first choice!”
“Mikayla was so kind when I had a family emergency and needed to leave town in a hurry. My puppy had a great time (she's told me all about it) and the family was really nice. ❤️”
“Josie watched our dog for four days while we were gone on vacation. She was in communication with us throughout our trip. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. From the pics we received, our dog looked like she had a lot of fun playing and relaxing too. She has been sleeping since we got her home.😊 I would book Josie again.”
“I totally recommend Jersey. She is super attentive to my pancake. She let me know.what was happening & also sent photos. Beyond professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable and safe, leaving pancake in her hands. I will definitely rebook .”
“Zach has watched our highly anxious dog twice now and he has done such a great job both times!! We can enjoy our vacations knowing our dog is in such great hands with Zach!”
“Amazing caretaker for our dog. So attentive and caring. We always hated leaving our dog at a big kennel since there was so much less direct attention. This was a fantastic experience, especially because of Amber and Calissa.”
“Tony was fantastic, he treated our dog just like his own, my dog is very very high energy and is a breed a lot of people are afraid to take care of and he had no problems taking care of her, he sent me photos and videos and my dog was so happy and was having a lot of fun, Tony was ok with giving my dog her medicine she needs daily, Tony and his family were Jems! My dog can be extra and she is hard to handle at times due to her strength so I was nervous taking her to anyone until I got to his house and instantly knew my dog was in good hands, I will definitely be using his services again! I HIGHLY recommend Tony, you can tell this is his passion! Thank you so much Tony for taking such great care of our Maizy dog!!!”
“Jaden did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Bella, over the Fourth of July weekend. This was my first time leaving Bella with someone I didn’t know, so I was pretty nervous. Jaden made the whole experience so much easier by sending regular photo updates and keeping me informed, which really helped put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bella was well cared for and happy. I truly appreciate the care and communication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jaden again. Highly recommend!”

“They were super kind and approachable. We knew within a couple of minutes of meeting them that our kitties were in good hands. They kept us updated with how things were going and sent many pictures. We could see along the way that they didn't just do the basics for care, but also interacted with them as if they were there own pets. It was a great experience and we had no worries whatsoever.”

About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.
“Shayla did a great job with Copper! My dog is very timid and anxious with new places & people, and she was very patient with him and understanding. She sent updated and pics of him throughout the day to update me on how he was doing!”
“Josie was exceptional. Her communication was outstanding and her compassion was just as great. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, which really shows how much she cares for others' fur babies. I recieved lots of candid, sweet photos too. I could tell Honey was in good hands and truly enjoyed her time away. Josie paid close attention to routines and details, and was so attentive to Honey while she was in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better last-minute sitter. She not only made me feel secure in my decision but also made Honey feel safe and at home. I'm sure she'll sleep hard tonight after today's adventures. I have nothing but good things to say about Josie and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🩷”
“What a phenomenal first experience with Rover & Christina! She was kind, welcoming, very understanding and genuine! She has a beautiful fenced in yard and my boy had a blast. She sent pictures and updates. Hopefully she and her daughter will be available the next time we're in town. Excellent job!!”
“We had a great experience! Melissa watched our dog for a few hours, and everything went smoothly. Communication was easy, she was friendly and reliable, and our dog was well cared for.”

Whether they are social and enjoy playing with others or appreciate a little more solitude, I can adjust the space to meet their needs and keep them safe & comfortable while you’re away!
“Mikayla was amazing with RJ. She communicated very well about the happenings with RJ. The daily pictures helped ease my mind that he really was on. Not that I ever had a doubt, but RJ does have an opinion of his own and will let you know all about it. Each day, he came home very tuckered out.”
“Jersey was amazing with my dog Remi! She provided such clear communication prior to and during Remi’s boarding. Remi had a wonderful time & I would definitely trust Jersey with him anytime!”

About: Hi everyone - I was a mom to older English Bulldogs who have recently passed and understand the need for a sitter at times. I used to use a dog sitter myself during the day and understand how hard it can be to get home sometimes! Now that my doggos are no longer with me, I would love to help you out. I work from home so can accept daycare or overnight boarding at my place. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced in backyard for all of the potty breaks and I can also bring them on short walks if requested. I live in a zero-entry, one-level home with no steps which is great for pets with bad joints.
