Pet Sitting in Iowa City

“Nelson is doing wonderful check-ins with Leo my 11+ years old mastiff/bulldog mix and almost completely deaf. I feel relieved knowing it’s Nelson! He also sends me pictures of Leo which I really appreciate!”

“Daniel took my guy on a generous long walk, and even brought him a friend to walk his (Daniel’s dog). Polite, respectful and right on time. Will be using Daniel again!”

“Rachel took great care of my cat. She made it a point to send me plenty of photos and left detailed descriptions of how my cat was doing after each visit. Would definitely hire her again.”

“Rebekah came through for me in a pinch and was willing to do a meet and greet with my dog pretty last minute. They were fast friends! She communicated what happened during the drop in and even sent pictures. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“I needed someone to come let my dog out regularly and I can already tell after just starting Rachel is reliable and cares! She came over beforehand and got to know my dog and the environment and listened to all instructions!”

“My wife and I went out of town for our wedding anniversary and needed some help with our 4 cats. Mackenzie responded fast and put our minds at ease! She was great with our cats and sent lots of pictures! Her Rover cards were very detailed and let us know what was going on in the house while we were gone. We will 100% book her again in the future. Thank you Mackenzie!!! Take care! ???”

“Jeanette has been amazing! I just moved to the area and she was able to help me out at the very last minute. Her communication and flexibility have been great and I enjoy all the pics I get of my dog after each visit. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Renee was able to accommodate a last-minute drop-in. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and got lots of snuggles and attention. We are looking forward to having her watch them for an extended time in a couple of months.”

“We had never used Rover before so we were nervous about leaving our cat Moody with someone new, but Caitlin did a great job putting us at ease while we were away. Great communication, we loved receiving photos and videos of Moody at every visit. Also loved that she didn’t just drop by to feed him, but spent about 30-40 minutes hanging out with him each time. We will definitely reach out to Caitlin when we need a cat sitter in the future!”

“Jason did an incredible job taking care of my cat. He went above and beyond by brushing his fur and playing with him. He was very thoughtful and considerate. He sent me updates and even left us a nice Christmas card. Jason is definitely my go to pet sitter from now on.”

“Mirna is friendly and flexible! I had her come let my pup out last min because I had to run out of town. Well definitely use her again.”

About: I will love your fur babies like my own. I grew up on a farm, have my own pets, and my daughter is a dog groomer. They will be in good hands. If they are staying with me, Mon-Fri, I am able to walk them every 4-5 hours during the day, and every two hours in the evenings. On weekends, I’m available all day and night. I have two small, friendly dogs who I walk on leash several times a day. My dogs (& two cats) LOVE all the pets we’ve had visit our home…well the cats just watch us disapprovingly, but the dogs love them anyway! 😂

“Hannah was great! Checked in on my cat multiple times and was super great about taking pics and getting back to me! So glad to have booked her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have had a Blue-tick Coonhound my whole life. Not only do I love giant dogs and I also love small dogs. I would take them on walks, stick to their routines and love them unconditionally. I have recently lost my dog this past year and miss caring for an animal. I am currently a student at the University of Iowa and have plenty of time to care for animals. Wednesdays are my busy days. I would take them on daily walks, and stick to their schedule. I have a home where a dog is free to roam around wherever they please. They are allowed on all furniture and bed. I would stick to their schedule as best as I could and give them extra love and attention.

About: I have previously taken care of dogs on Rover for over a year before taking a break to focus on completing my degree and finding a career. During that time I also volunteered at my local shelter socializing with animals and helping the facility run smoothly. I currently have one cat and love spending time with other cats and dogs of my family and friends. When caring for animals, their safety and comfort are top priority to ensure the best experience on both sides. I look forward to meeting and developing a relationship with you and your pets! I currently work remote on a regular full time schedule and can provide care every 2-4 hours during the day and anytime during the weekends. I prioritize sticking with the typical schedule of your pet to make them as comfortable as possible. Cleanliness is also very important to me so I will make sure to clean up messes and food items promptly.

“Claudia has taken care of my two poodles multiple times and she is the best! They need lots of attention and can be troublesome, but things always go smoothly with her! She is caring and has always been reliable, I would definitely recommend her to others.”

“I’m so grateful for Sarah! She was flexible with timing, and super great communicator! She sent me sweet pictures of my kitten after her drop in visit and filled food and water before going. I’ll be contacting her from now on when I need to leave town! I came home to a happy kitten with plenty of food and water and a clean litter box.”

“Reagan followed through and made two doggy visits during the time we were gone on a day trip. Her communication was great—pictures from both visits. We’d certainly ask her to come again.”

“Sid is very loving and compassionate. He cared for our dog. He was diligent in taking him out for the walks and feeding him and spending time with him. He paid attention to his cleanliness and checked for ticks when they got back from walks. He loved to have him sit by him and if we allowed he'd even let him sleep by him. Sid is an animal lover and takes his responsibilities seriously. You won't regret having him sit your pet.”

“Thank you so much!”
