“Ashley is amazing!!! We are new to the area and I was worried we were going to be unable to find a good dog sitter. Our Claire is our baby she is very spoiled. Ashley was so flexible and understanding from first contact until I picked Claire up. I received pictures daily showing how much fun Claire was having! I am so grateful to find an amazing place for Claire to be!! Claire will be back!”
“Shannon was amazing. My 2 labs stayed 4 days with her. She took excellent care of them. My dogs are highly bred for hunting and have a ton of energy. She kept them entertained and let them play all the time. One of my dogs has a FI collar that tracks steps and his steps were up more than 50% of normal. I would recommend Shannon to anyone. Great job!”
“Marilee went above and beyond for our dog, Georgia. This was my first time using Rover and we needed a sitter who would board Georgia for 1 night. Georgia is 7 and can be a bit of a handful. Marilee made sure Georgia got along with her dogs before I left which was great! She took Georgia on walks and sent me photos every few hours. Marilee has a big beautiful home with a fenced backyard. I would 100% book Marilee again if we need a sitter again.”
“Tearra was fantastic! Seems like Oakley really enjoyed the attention and playtime she was given. Definitely made me feel better about leaving her with someone, and now we have another sitter to use when I need to head out of town.”
“Had a great experience having Rebekah & Ryan dogsit for the weekend. They were available with less than a weeks notice, took great care of her, and sent sweet pictures of my dog and theirs on walks. 10/10”
“Rin was amazing with my wild girl! She sent pictures, videos, and updates regularly. Pike had the very best time and will be thrilled to stay with her again in the future.”
About: Animals have been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a ranch, I learned early on that caring for animals is a 24/7 commitment that requires patience, hard work, and a sharp eye for detail. From chickens and bunnies to cats and dogs—and even more unique pets like ferrets and birds—I was raised with the understanding that every animal has its own personality and specific needs. My parents gave me my first dog when I was 1, she was best friend till she passed away when I was 17 years old. I learned at a very young age how to care for dogs and all the responsibilities that go along with them. She was by my side, even when she passed. I have owned several more through my adult life and currently have 2 senior pups that have been with us since Itty bitty babies. As an animal mom myself, I know exactly how hard it is to head out on vacation. Leaving your fur babies behind and worrying about the level of care they are receiving can be incredibly stressful. Because I understand that bond, I promise that any pet in my care will receive the exact same level of love, attention, and high-standard care that I expect for my own. My goal is to give you total peace of mind; I’m here to make sure your pet’s routine is followed perfectly and their day is a little brighter while you’re away. My husband owns his own business and I am currently taking classes online at home on my own time to get my bachelors degree in accounting so rover fits my schedule perfectly and lets me do something I love. How perfect is that! Care in Your Home (Drop-ins & House Sitting) "When I care for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their sense of security and routine. I understand that a disruption in their environment can be stressful, so I focus on the details that matter: I stick strictly to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or quiet snuggles for a senior pet, I’m there to provide genuine companionship, not just a quick visit. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) "I treat every pet in my home like a member of my own family. My space is a 'pawsitive' environment where your fur baby can feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Pets are never left unattended and have constant access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, a fenced in back yard, and plenty of affection. Can also crate if needed. Because I’m an 'animal mom,' I know that some pets need extra reassurance. I provide a calm, organized space where they can settle in quickly. Drawing on my years of experience growing up on a ranch, I am highly observant of animal behavior and health. I keep a close eye on their appetite, energy levels, and overall well being. You’ll receive regular photos and updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having, letting you enjoy your time away worry-free."
“Paris took amazing care of my dog, Charlie, while I was away for a long weekend! She was super responsive from the get go and very accommodating with my last minute request. She very clearly cares deeply for the pets that she watches, listened to everything I told her to make him as comfy as possible, and sent frequent updates to keep everyone comfortable. I was confident he was being cared for and I was able to have a worry free trip knowing he was safe and happy! Thank you Paris!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have cared for everything from Huskies and Labs to German Shepherds and a variety of cats. Having owned Huskies myself, including one with epilepsy and one with arthritis, and having watched a Lab with megaesophagus, I’m comfortable providing specialized care. I’m also experienced with energetic dogs and understand the importance of routine, exercise, and careful attention. Your pet will receive plenty of care, patience, and love while you’re away, along with fun, engaging activities to keep them happy and comfortable. I am a graduate student at ISU for pet care opportunities to fill my free time on school nights, as well as on weekends. I’ll be in the area for at least the few years, so I’m available consistently and looking to build reliable routines with pets and their owners. I miss my animals back home, and caring for other pets felt like the perfect way to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m happy to provide dependable care, attention, and plenty of love during my off-hours. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and breaks throughout the day. I’m experienced with energetic dogs and understand the importance of mental stimulation as well as physical activity. I always keep a clean, safe environment and make sure pets feel secure and cared for. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10+ years. I always make sure they are safe comfortable and happy. Im very patient, loving and caring. I will make sure that your best friends are well taken care of. Im doing this full time so I will have all the time in the world to look after your buddies to play with them and to walk them and to make sure that they are well taken care of. I dont have a fenced yard but I always make sure to keep them on a leash. I also have 2 fun loving dogs that will be able to keep your dogs company.

“Rachel was great! She sent lots of photos and was good with communication. My dog was so happy when I picked him up. He was very well taken care of. She had great accomodations! Would highly recommend!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wapello
Ashley was wonderful! She watched our three dogs, Molly, Lucy, and Jack, for two nights while we were out of town, and she made me feel completely comfortable leaving them with her, especially since it was our first time using her. She was so kind, and her kids were adorable. I’ll definitely be using Ashley anytime we go out of town in the future!
5 stars! This was the first time I entrusted my two fur babies to someone else, and Robin was absolutely amazing. From our first meeting she was warm, friendly, and genuinely loving toward Charlie and Lucky. She engaged with them, put them at ease, and made them feel right at home. Robin was attentive, responsible, and clearly experienced—she followed our routine, kept everything safe and comfortable, and sent helpful updates and photos that eased my mind the whole time. I felt completely confident leaving my pups in her care and will happily book her again. Highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wapello home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wapello.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Wapello sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ID ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
