“I have used Erin and Chris to watch my chocolate lab many many times! I feel so comfortable leaving town because I know they treat my dog like he is their own! If you are searching Rover to find a potential sitter, just stop and book on their page. You won’t regret it!❤️”
“My wife and I left the country for about 10 days and were worried because we have never left our dog with strangers or in a kennel because he is older and adopted. He has a weird routine and glaucoma so he needed a little extra care but they handled him perfectly and he fit right into their routine. Melanie and her family saved us 100%! They constantly sent us pics and updates on him which made us feel better. They took care of him as if he was part of their family and we greatly appreciate it. 10/10!”
“Excellent daily updates with photos and notes that kept me informed on Mayor. Amazing communication prior to drop off and all the way to pick up. My dog was well taken care of and got plenty of attention during her week long stay. I highly recommend trusting them with taking care of your pet and keeping them happy.”
“Christopher been nothing but amazing with our pups. He’s gone above and beyond what we expected and that’s why he will always be our go to person. He’s done an amazing job I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a sitter to watch over ur precious loved one”
“Elizabeth was great with Hank! He seemed to love her right from the start. Elizabeth kept us updated the entire time she had him with multiple messages and pictures which was great to see while we were away. I will definitely use Elizabeth again for boarding and she made it super easy with pick up and drop off as well! Definitely a convenient option for us with 4 kids! Thanks again, Elizabeth”
“Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!”
“I had to travel halfway across the world for over two weeks without my anxious little Emma. Christy and Erkam did such a great job dealing with Emma - keeping her calm, going out for walks, and giving her medicine. They gave me frequent updates and immediately reached out whenever they have questions and concerns. Really appreciate the love and attention they showered Emma with. Highly recommend Christy and Erkam!”
“Holly was amazing! My family and I had to take a last-minute trip out to North Carolina for a funeral and Holly stepped right up to board my pup for seven days. She responds to messages quickly and was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up times. Biscuit had a great time with Holly and her family. I will be making sure I definitely book with Holly for future planned vacations.”
“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!”
“Finley seemed to have a great time with Samantha and her family. He is often sad when we leave him and doesn’t eat and apparently that wasn’t the case. I greatly appreciated the pictures.”
“Our dog was well taken care of while we were away. Jaden did a great job of keeping us updated on how our dog was doing. We will definitely use Jaden again!”
“Meghan took such amazing care of little Buster! She sent fun photo updates of his walks and small adventures around the house, and she made sure we knew he was settled in immediately so we were stress-free and comfortable during our time away. As Buster is an emotional support animal for my foster so , this was a HUGE deal for us. Ten out of five stars!!”
“We were traveling out of state and needed someone to trust Forest with for the weekend. Wonderful people who took great care of Forest! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Rover.”

“Cliff has been watching Aspen for years now and they are buddies :) Aspen is always excited to go in for her visit and healthy and happy as we pick her up! Highly recommend his care!”
“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”
“Craig was a wonderful sitter for our energetic dog, Winston! He communicated well and was very nice He paid attentiont the details of Winston's care instructions and met all his needs. Winston was calm and happy, and Craig kept us updated over the stay. We would definitely recommend Craig and use him again!”
“Elizabeth was a last minute booking for us after all our usual pet friends weren’t available. We were grateful to find her but even more grateful for how wonderful she was with Brody! We loved her updates and Brody seemed to settle in with her and have a nice time.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Windsor Heights
Erin and Chris were great at communicating, sending pictures and spoiling our girl while we were gone for a week. We even had a delay coming home and they kept her an extra night. As soon as I was able to pick our pup up, I had a hard time getting her to come with me. She wanted to stay and play! We really appreciate that Lucy fit right into their family for the week. 10/10 would recommend them. Hoping to rebook for future trips!
We are extemely pleased with our decision to book with Casandra. We are “first-timers” and we were gone for 9 nights. Casandra sent pictures and videos of our two boys every day, usually several times a day. They looked like they were having fun and not anxious at all. They looked right at home with Casandra. We will certainly be booking another visit with her! Thanks Casandra. Maverick and Goose send their love and snuggles.
Cynthia was great. This was our first experience with dog daycare and it was everything we hoped for and more. By the third morning Moose was trying to slip into the car before his breakfast. (He is a growing golden who never misses a meal if that tells you how much he likes Cynthia). She will definitely be our go to for the times Moose can’t be with us and probably a day here and there just because he loves it at her house.
We had such a great experience with Ashly! She took amazing care of my two dogs and kept me updated with pictures throughout their stay, which I really appreciated. They seemed so happy and comfortable with her, and it made being away from them so much easier knowing they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using Ashly again if she’ll have us!
Big thanks to Alexandra for taking such good care of my boy! She was able to accommodate a near last minute request when my prior arrangements fell through just a week before my vacation, and was very understanding when a delayed return flight out of Chicago meant an extra night of boarding. Thanks! Artoo can't wait to visit again.
Elizabeth and her family were amazing! We had an excellent experience. She is very communicative and was so kind to set up a meet and greet. They have a backyard that’s totally fenced in with a doggie door - what a perfect set up! She sent pictures and videos daily and took the best care of our baby. We would love to have Coop stay here again in the future.
Rachel and her family truly made my dogs a part of their family. They always kept me up to date and sent so many pictures. Their daughter even drew me a picture that said “Thank you! I ❤️ S+S” it was so sweet! This was our second time having them watch our pups and I highly recommend them!
Mary was very responsive to all questions and need for our 9 1/2 year old golden retriever. Maya had a great time with Mary, and she can be a bit anxious at times when she doesn't feel loved or cared for. Maya came home happy and at ease, which speaks volumes for the care Mary provided. Highly recommend.
Mandy usually is very anxious when left anywhere but she seemed quite happy and content with Alicia and her family. Mandy also liked her dogs, Bennie and Mila, which helped keep her from being anxious. Alicia provided pictures and updates which gave us much comfort. I highly recommend this sitter and will use her again when she is available.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Windsor Heights is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
96% of sitters in Windsor Heights can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Windsor Heights home-away-from-home, 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 Windsor Heights.
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 Windsor Heights 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 , 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 .
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 IA 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.
