“Sarah was great! Her home is conveniently located near the interstate, making it very easy for drop off and pick up. She did a great job welcoming me and meeting my dog on the first day. It was great when she sent me a video of her and her family taking him out for a walk. We will certainly see Sarah again next time we visit Iowa.”

About: I enjoy going on long walks to grays lake. So I can allow dogs to get their energy out! I have a 3 year old Weimaraner, and also used to have an Australian shepherd. I’m familiar with all different breeds! My parents have 3 dogs and bred a couple times so I have also experienced taking care of a bunch of puppies. I work full time during the week until 4, my dog stays in a kennel when I am not home and spends the evenings going on long walks and also play time at the dog park at my apartment complex. She doesn’t sleep in her kennel she gets cuddles all night! If your pet is trained well and doesn’t need to go in a kennel, I am okay with letting them be out and roam around.

About: I grew up with many dogs, and currently own two giant Newfoundlands that are basically my full time job outside of my full time job. They love other pups and so do I! I typically like to do most gigs on weekends, but I do work from home and can accept some dog boarding cases during the week occasionally. I have a fenced in backyard with some stairs going down from our deck. We have two very chill newfoundlands that get along with most pups, but a meet and greet is required to determine that.

About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have grown up surrounded by dogs. I currently have a Golden Retriever named Sayde who lives with my parents back home, and although I don’t have a dog of my own in my apartment right now, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and members of my community. While attending Iowa State University, I joined the ACE Project, where I had the rewarding opportunity to foster several dogs who had experienced trauma or needed extra help with socialization. Working with these dogs taught me so much about patience, compassion, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment where every dog can feel comfortable and thrive. I currently work at BluePearl Pet Hospital in Des Moines, where I care for and handle animals with a wide range of medical needs, including critically ill pets. This experience has given me valuable hands-on animal care experience and a strong medical knowledge base, allowing me to feel confident caring for pets who may need extra attention, medication, or specialized care. I truly miss fostering and spending time with dogs, and pet sitting feels like the perfect way to continue doing what I love! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and still warming up, or requires a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the individualized care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work three 12-hour shifts at BluePearl Emergency Pet Hospital in Des Moines, and my schedule varies each week. I receive my schedule monthly, so planning ahead is helpful, especially for overnight stays. On my days off, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and am available for drop-ins, dog walks, and spending quality time with them. For longer stays, I appreciate at least a month’s notice so I can coordinate with work and ensure I’m available. I always want to be upfront about my schedule to make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve! I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their normal routines while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules, make time for walks, playtime, and cuddles, and provide plenty of attention. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment in a great neighborhood for long walks, with nearby hiking areas to explore. I’m also happy to crate your pet when I’m away if that’s part of their normal routine. Through my work at BluePearl Pet Hospital, I have experience caring for pets with medical needs and am comfortable following medication instructions. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, worked at a dog grooming and boarding facility throughout college, and as an adult my we have rescued five dogs. I truly consider our dogs our children and plan our lives around making sure they’re happy and never left alone for long. Your pup will be treated like one of our own, with plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I have a spacious deck where dogs can relax and watch the world go by, and we live near several great walking trails for daily adventures. I welcome dogs of all ages, as long as they get along well with our dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they may need. That being said, I have experience giving dogs their important medications as well as insulin shots for pups diagnosed with diabetes. Before any stay, we’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s a great fit for both your dog and ours. We do work during the school year so we are gone from 7:45am-3:45pm however, we give the dogs multiple walks in the morning and we are home all evening long. We are typically home all weekend long. We currently work full time during the day but home all summer. We are gone from about 7:30-3:45ish. Our daily routine does consist of two morning dog walks, another dog walk after school, and then we are home during the evenings always. We feel bad leaving the dogs if we’ve been at work all day long haha! We have a large deck that is fenced in but our yard is not fenced. We do take our dogs on walks consistently and there’s room for them to play in our living room space. We really have the same routine everyday so our dogs always know what to expect. We live in a quiet neighborhood near a school. Our dogs do sleep in kennels at night but we would not require that of a dog we are watching. Our dogs do not have food aggression but they do eat their food right when we feed them. We occasionally give them lick mats and they enjoy a bully stick. They do not fight over bully sticks.

About: Hi there! I’m Angeline, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to an 3 year old corgi named Archie. He’s full of personality and pretty much my shadow—we go just about everywhere together!

As someone who truly understands the bond between people and their pups, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m excited to meet your furry family member and make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away! As a full-time professional and proud corgi mom to my 2.5-year-old pup, I understand how important it is to find reliable, loving care for your dog.

I’m available most evenings and weekends, and I’d love to help care for your furry friend like one of my own. Please check my calendar for current availability! I have a corgi that loves all dogs! Whether I am in your home or your animal is with me, I can guarantee they will feel comfortable and safe.

Our dog seemed to have a great time with Mary and her little dog, Bear, and seemed relaxed in the photos we received, so we didn't have to worry. She even kept looking for Bear after we got home! Nice big fenced backyard for potty and playing. Mary was responsive to questions and flexible with drop off and pickup times which was very appreciated.

We had a great experience with Elizabeth! She responded quickly to our booking request, kept us updated throughout our pups' stay, and sent pictures. Bailey is an older dog with some health concerns, and Lucy can be selective around bigger dogs, but both dogs did wonderfully with Elizabeth and her dogs. We would definitely book with her again!

Our young golden retriever just came home after spending a week and a half with Cynthia. His first time away from us. He clearly had a great time. Cynthia kept us updated with pictures and videos. She found lots of creative ways to keep him busy and happy. She made him special treats and clearly spent time with him. She will be seeing him again soon. Thanks Cynthia

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!

This is the second time we've asked Lisa to care for our kitty. This time, we did in-house boarding. It was nice to know that our cat was getting a lot of attention while we were gone for two weeks. Lisa sent lots of photos and kept us updated. She seemed genuinely sad to see our kitty go home, so I could tell he was well loved while we were away!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Windsor Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Windsor Heights is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $79 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 405 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Windsor Heights. About 90% of Windsor Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
