2. Beckett H.
“this was my first time using rover. Beckett watched my mom’s dogs with little notice and cared for them for 5 days while my mom was in the hospital. The dogs came home happy and worn out!! Absolutely will be using again for my own dogs!!”
3. Debra S.
“Deb took such wonderful care of our puppy! She was only 13 weeks when we had to leave her for 2 nights, and she went above and beyond helping her adjust! She listens and cares how we are training her, does the same things, tries some of her own stuff, and just loves on Luna. I couldn't ask for a more caring sitter and Luna will be back. She got undivided attention, and training..I couldn't ask for a better place for her. She sent videos and photos the whole stay! And responded whenever I checked in with her. Thank you for loving Luna.”

5. Ashley D.
“An AMAZING sitter. Is extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. Worked with me on short notice to help with a scheduling issue that forced me to drop off my pup a bit earlier than discussed and sent me daily pictures while I was away. 100/100 would absolutely work with her again.”

12. Ashleigh S.
“I really like Ashleigh taking care of Beamer and he loves being there. She will notify you if she notices something wrong or anything unusual going on with him. This is the second time I have used her to watch Beamer and he is always happy when I pick him up . Very trustworthy and I believe that he is very comfortable with her . I usually tip her when I pick Beamer up , but I do owe her $10.00 and will take it to her today . Just did not have enough cash on me from getting back in town on Sunday.”

Cierra sent multiple photos throughout the time I was away with updates of how Oakley was doing and showing the fun he was having ! Not to mention she is the sweetest person!! I would recommend booking with Cierra to anyone who asks and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! 😊 Thank you so much, Cierra!!!”

“Anne, Thank you for taking care of Freddie a second time, which was much longer. The pictures through out the day really make a difference. We will bring more balls next time. :) Thanks so much Steve & Shelli North Liberty”
16. Melia & Benjamin P.
“Melia and Benjamin have been fantastic caretakers for our dog Apple. They truly took care of Apple as she was their own and kept updating us daily about her with pictures and checking in. When we picked her up it was obvious she was happy and looked well cared after. They were also extremely accommodating with us. We ran into multiple issues and returned 2 days later than originally planned but they kept Apple during that time and were very supportive. We are thankful we found them and will definitely keep coming back to them as schedules allow!”

“Had to book someone to watch my dog last minute. He seemed to have so much fun at Jason's and I'm definitely going to rebook in the future when I need to go out of town again. Definitely recommend him to everyone.”
18. Amanda J.
“Amanda and her family are amazing. Always go above and beyond and will love your pet like their own. My dog has some health issues, and they have never hesitated to give medicine and even coordinated with my vet while I was away. It's as close to a home away from home as you can get.”
