About: I’ve always had pets growing up- especially larger dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover at heart and will treat your fur babies like my own! We pour into our three cats at home and strive to give them the best quality of life- they are our family after all. I know I’m newer to rover, so it’ll take time and reviews to build your trust. Let me prove to you the love I have for animals and the quality care I’ll provide :) My schedule is very flexible as I stay at home with our toddler! Just let me know what you need and I can accommodate! Daytime is better, but I’m open to evenings as well! Weekends are open :) In our home, we treat our 3 cats with unconditional love. We recently had one of our first cats pass away due to CHF. It was very trying decision to come to, but ultimately decided it was best to not let him suffer, no matter how much our hearts would break. Since then, we’ve tried implementing extra vitamins, better quality food, more play time, etc. into our other cats lives to hopefully combat any future health issues with them. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your fur babies with as much love and care as my own.
“Katie was fabulous with our doggo! She provided in home visits 3 times in one day and we appreciated the updates and pics throughout the day. 😃 We will definitely be calling on Katie again!”
“Kaley has been awesome!! She is always prompt and efficient with communication, not to mention on two short notice occasions(hour notice) she was more than willing to help out. Had a great attitude and she has given great updates. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.
About: I’m very attentive to details and love all fur babies. I believe in keeping animals on regular schedules for feeding and exercise. Your dog will be well loved and cared for at my house! I live on a farm with equines, so my schedule is built around their feeding and exercise, which means that I’m home most of the time. My dog (and yours) is inside the house, except when outside in the fenced area or on a leash while on a walk around our property each evening. Millie is our very active senior dog who is less than 20 pounds. She lost her older buddy a few years ago and would love a friend to hang out with. We have a very large fenced yard for them to play in, but they will be inside unless they want to play outside.
About: I have had a dog most of my life until recently. I grew up with a wonderful Bichon named Brody. Brody was my best friend growing up and lived to about 18 years old! My husband and I got together in 2008 and a year later we both decided we wanted to get our first dog together. His name was Tank. To keep Tank young we got him a friend in 2012, Miles. Tank and Miles were our fur babies as we didnt have children at the time. Both of our guys had their share of illnesses. Tank required allergy injections for a few years. Tank eventually was diagnosed with prostate cancer which we did chemo for 2 years with him. Miles also started to have his own health issues. He was diagnosed with Cushings early on, diagnosed with diabetes which we then were administering insulin twice a day for, and then we discovered he had a tumor in his chest. We loved and cared for these guys through it all. Doing EVERYTHING we could for both of them. Visits to ISU, Blue Pearl, multiple local clinics. We gave them the best life we could. I think just saying that I love animals isnt enough. They are family to me and mean so much more. I care for all animals as they are my own. My husband and I provided intense care for our guys until it was time to say goodbye for now. I miss our guys. I would love to help care for others fur babies as I would treat them as my own, giving them the best care possible and the love they deserve. I currently work remote full time from my home and have decent flexibility in my daily work schedule to meet the needs of my clients. I have a fenced in yard. No other animals at this time. We do have a 4 year old child who is great with animals and always has been. Dog park nearby. Walking paths nearby/great neighborhood for walking outside.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a young child, but have been doing so professionally for 10 years. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a full time vet tech and have been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. So I am uniquely qualified to administer all kinds of medications, including oral, transdermal, and injectable, as well as subcutaneous fluids. I am also a certified dog trainer so I am able to train puppies (and dogs of all ages) and keep up with their current training while you're away. I currently work full time, so I have limited daytime availability. I am off on Thursdays and Sundays as well as most Saturdays, but otherwise can only provide midday drop ins if they are within a short drive from my job in Waukee. I will follow your instructions meticulously and treat your pets as I do my own. I believe it is important to keep as close to a normal routine as possible to make sure the pets are comfortable with their pet sitter while their owners are away. I provide daily text check ins with pet parents as well as pictures of your beloved pet.

Hayley & Zach K.
“I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough! She took care of my dogs while I was away, and I was absolutely blown away by the level of care, attention, and love she gave them. From the moment we met, it was clear that Hayley has a genuine passion for animals. She was incredibly responsible, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire time. My dogs were not only well-fed and exercised, but they were also happy and relaxed when I returned- something that speaks volumes about the comfort and trust they felt with her. Hayley went above and beyond, sending me regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Hayley is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a dog sitter!”
