Scott and Jess are truly the best! We have used them several times. Our dogs love to go on vacation at their house, and we enjoy our own trips knowing they are receiving excellent care. This last visit, Scott didn't even bat an eyelash at the idea of us sending our large dog with a cone and healing tail. We recommend them to everyone we know who needs a pet sitter.

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

We just picked up Charlie from her 9 day Staycation with Samantha. Being thousands of miles away from your baby is hard but we never worry about the amazing care that she gets at Samantha’s! We received daily updates including photos of her playing with all her besties! One of the reasons we chose Rover over facility boarding is that we want Charlie to be in a home with people who love her while we are away. Samantha provides a wonderful, clean environment and Charlie just loves it! Samantha also shares great tips and general dog health updates via her social media. We are happy that she keeps up with all the latest issues that dog owners face!

Taitum was the perfect sitter for my Svenny! She sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend which gave me such a peace of mind! Sven came home tired and happy so I know he was well taken care of all weekend. Taitum’s puppy was the perfect play mate for Sven as well!

Patricia took great care of our dog Ruby. She sent several pictures and even a short video. Ruby looked like she was having a great time. I plan to use her again when we are both out of town.

Ginny was everything you could ask of for someone to love your dog while you are away. She took great care of Chief and sent puctures and updates! She has a fenced in yard and 2 pups for Chief to play with, both were friendly. We would trust her again in a heartbeat!

Lisa and her husband are as sweet as they come! They loved on my pup well, and as this was only our second Rover stay, it would appear he likes to test the boundaries with new people and be a bit ornery. I told Lisa he's a lazy, sweet boy and he certainly is with me, but gave her some more energy than he shows at home and she definitely rolled with it. I received plenty of updates and they thoroughly enjoyed each other. My pup even was sitting near them and getting some love even when I came to pick him up. I could tell he had bonded with them pretty quick. She even sent me with a pup treat to go! I would absolutely use them again and appreciate them so much!

I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!

We loved having Lucia watch George! We can tell he was well care for by the way he came home and plopped down like we just got a nice big walk. He relaxed and content. Thank you thank you! We highly recommend!

Great communication; Coco was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Ashly's dog, Tony, is very patient and well-mannered - great for my skittish pup.

We LOVE Danielle and Colton, and so does our mini goldendoodle, Kati!! She has such a great time while she’s there, gets socialization with other dogs, lots of cuddles, and I stay updated with pics- making it easier to leave my fur baby and enjoy vacation! We will definitely continue to use their services for our baby and you should too!
