Dog Boarding in Iowa City

Our second time having Jason watch our dog and he was so great again. Lots of picture updates and kind communication. He’s very flexible with dates and time too.

Gina is such a great Rover caretaker! We will use her again for sure. Ruby had such a great time playing there. I sure hope Gina’s cat survived all of Ruby’s chasing😊 Gina’s place is clean and a perfect place for our sweet Ruby to stay!❤️🐾

Melia and Ben did a great job watching my two miniature dachshunds for a week. They were kind hosts, and my dogs looked so cozy ih the photos they sent. Would not hesitate to book with them.

Karla is wonderful!! She took great care of our pup, treating her like her own. Awesome communication and sent lots of pics and updates. Already rebooked😊.

Ashley was amazing! Sent multiple picture updates each day and was great about letting me know how Chewy was doing while we were away! He seemed to love staying with her and will definitely be going back next time the humans go out of town!

Astor had a great weekend with Morgan! Pick up and drop off went so smoothly. We even have cute Christmas pictures to commemorate her stay! Astor can’t wait to come back :)

I cannot say enough great things about Jake (and Walter!). I have never boarded my 10 lb mini schnauzer and was going to be out of the country for almost two weeks. Very very nervous about my little pup with a big dog and strange house. However, Jake was the kindest and sweetest about reassuring me- we got together a few weeks before for nearly an hour so I could see his home and lovely fenced yard, and the dogs could get to know each other. Walter is the friendliest boy, and although my pup was nervous, they got along great. The day I dropped her off Jake spent another hour with her alone, giving her treats, and reassuring me all would be well. He was even so sweet to make sure he had no other dogs to board during her time there- his care of small dogs was amazing! Then we got photos and updates throughout the trip, reassuring me yet again she was in great hands! And I know she had a great time because when we got home, she didn’t cling to me or act like she was upset by anything, just went about her normal routine so I know she clearly slept well and was cared for lovingly. Jake is the best and I would recommend him to everyone!!!

Lori and Kelly were wonderful with my canine kids. My dogs are very far apart in years, and they knew just what to do to make them both feel comfortable. They were patient with my high energy girl, providing suitable outlets for her to get her yayas out! And they were welcoming to my geriatric one. My dogs played well with their dogs, which was so good for their socialization. I highly recommend Lori and Kelly!

Wonderful care for our dog!

Abbey is very flexible and is a wonderful communicator! I needed someone to watch my dog (Daisy) for a week and sadly my previous sitter fell through, so I messaged Abbey on Rover 3 days before I left for vacation, and she was more than willing to take me on as a new client! She offered to let Daisy visit the day before drop-off so that she could meet Abbey's dog, and get the lay of the land, which I appreciated. Abbey provided me with photos/videos at least once a day to show how Daisy was doing! She would even tell me if Daisy had any problems, like not eating, and she would provide me with updates throughout. When Daisy didn't eat well one of the days she was boarded, Abbey asked me ahead of time if she could give Daisy wet food to get her to eat something which I was grateful for. Additionally, I wasn't sure how Daisy would do with her potty training in a new environment and unfortunately she had quite a few accidents, but Abbey was very understanding and even provided me with some suggestions on how to prevent that! I was confident that Daisy was in great hands while I was away, giving me an overwhelming sense of relief. This allowed me to truly enjoy my time away! Thank you Abbey!

They are Amazing!❤️

Adela and her family were amazing with Windy! We had never used a sitter before for our pup so weren’t sure what to expect. Adela exceeded our expectations and we hope to use her again soon. Highly Recommend!

Great sitter and always made sure we knew what our boy was up to. You can tell he has a great time and is just part of the family at Madison's home!

Mahvish and Syed always make sure my girl is pampered when I bring her over. They take lots of photos showing she is cared for, and are excellent at communicating. Would not hesitate going back to them at any time.

Communication with Auden was great during the whole stay. Our dog stayed at Auden’s place and while it wasn’t the best fit for him, she tried her best to make him feel comfortable.

I can always count on Sidney to take great care of my fur baby, I get photos and constant updates about countess whereabouts, Countess loves going with her and really enjoys spending time with her BFF JC.

Edward is exceptional! I had to reach out to him last minute after another Rover sitter fell through, and he was incredibly gracious and accommodating. Although I couldn’t visit his home in person, we did a FaceTime walkthrough, and I was immediately reassured by how clean and organized his space was. I've encountered other Rover sitters with messy homes, and there’s no way I’d leave my dogs in an environment like that! Edward is warm and welcoming, which gave me confidence that my two Great Pyrenees—my 2.5-year-old and my five-month-old puppy—would be happy and well cared for. I knew the puppy would require extra attention, but Edward provided a loving and safe environment. During my two-week trip to England, my dogs stayed with Edward, his wonderful wife, their two children, and a cat. I received daily updates, complete with pictures and videos, showing how well my pups were doing. One photo of Edward lying on the ground, hugging both dogs, truly made my heart sing! My beautiful doggies enjoyed daily walks and received plenty of love and attention. Working with Edward was a dream, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. His warmth and professionalism are invaluable, and I will definitely be returning!
