“This is our first Rover booking and we couldn't be happier. Brooke did an excellent job of making sure our "new to us" rescue dog had a good experience. Amee got to read stories at bedtime and take walks with the family. She'll be back for more fun.”

About: I have had animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am very comfortable around animals of all sizes and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I have trained my own dogs in basic commands such as sit, lay down, shake, fetch, and kennel. I also have experience fostering cats, including caring for expecting mothers and raising their kittens until they were ready to be adopted. Having cared for so many different animals over the years, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to treat your pets with patience, attention, and lots of love while you're away. I am currently a full-time student but have a flexible schedule. I am typically free all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am on and off campus on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very few dogs in the area, which provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets. Pets are never left outside alone and will always be supervised while in my care. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am happy to follow any routines or instructions you provide. I also have roommates who love animals and are always excited to have another furry friend in the house.

“Lauren did a wonderful job of caring for our two English cream golden retrievers. She walked them frequently and sent us photos during our week away from them. She also bathed the dogs before we picked them up and they looked much better than when we dropped them off. I will certainly use Lauren again.”

About: I have nine years of pet care experience. I raised and showed Rex rabbits for 4 years. Personally I have trained and care for my own dogs. After High School I work in an Animal Hospital. My duties there included receiving the animals for appointments, prepping and assisting in surgeries, keeping accurate records, cleaning and sanitation of the facilities, I am working at the Boone Veterinary Hospital currently! I am available to care for pets full time as I am looking to make a career out of caring for pets as I pursue a position as a Veterinary Assistant or Technician. I would be able to care for the animals in their own homes keeping them safe in the comfort of their own space and environment.

About: I have taken care of high-maintenance dogs for 6 years now! I have had 2 dogs, 1 miniature schnauzer and one bichon frise. My schnauzer was a rescue. As she got older, she grew blind and needed eye drops twice a day, medicine twice a day, and eventually food substitutes. My bichon frise was also a rescue, and was described with CDB ( canine dysfunctional behavior). This is what they use to describe dogs with autism-like behaviors. With him, I had to be sure I didn’t get in his face, make loud noises, or expose him to high-stress environments. I put in a lot of work to ensure they lived their best lives, and I would absolutely give the same care to your babies! I am a current cosmetology student. I am at school 9-4 Monday-Friday. I don’t currently have a job outside of school, so I am completely free outside of class! I currently live in a pet friendly apartment. People are always taking the dogs on walks around my neighborhood, and there is a nice pond with lots of room to roam around! I also have a front door leading straight outside, so your dog wouldn’t have to face staircases or hallways.

“Beth was a great caretaker for our pup Lenny. She was exactly what we were looking for. She was responsive and gave lots of updates! I know for sure he was spoiled and given all the love and snuggles - a home away from home. I will definitely use Beth again!”

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 Wolf 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 Wolf.

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 Wolf 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.
