“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our Pickle while we were gone. She even has much experience with his breed which is a bonus! She really went that extra step in caring for him. He will definitely be excited to see her again!”


“Our girls loved Dominique. And more importantly, Dominique was flexible, understanding and so thoughtful! She treated my girls like hers, and that’s what matters. Will use again!”


“Olivia does a great job of walking Brexit twice a week for us as my husband and I work full time she also gives Brexit attention and always makes sure she gets some water!”


“Debbie came to take care of our golden retriever twice today while we were at the fair. She did a great job and gave Lucy lots of good attention. I would recommend her for others who need dog care!”


“We love having Ian and Candice walk our dog Patty! They were kind enough to reach out and confirm the length of the walk we wanted them to take as the heat index reached extremely warm temperatures while we were out of town! They’re extremely reliable and very responsive!”


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.

“We loved Abigail! Moose is fearful of most people but warmed up to her and was happy to see Abigail each walk. She’s kind, fun, and responsible. Will definitely be using her services again!”


About: I've had dogs and cats for most of my life that are treated as family. Buster, my 16 year old Border Collie mix, recently passed. My family consists of several grand puppies who come for visits. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I am home most days all day long, with occasional appointments. I would love to go for walks with a dog. I have a pet friendly home with a large fenced yard. I have several grand puppies who visit. I love dogs and would welcome them into my home as part of my family.

About: I grew up on a farm near Dallas Center and have experience with a variety of animals both big and small. My first job growing up was at PetSmart where I gained valuable knowledge on how to take better care of my furry family members and my customer's furry family members! I have adopted multiple dogs and cats into my own family and would love the chance to treat your pets as family as well. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I would love to set up a routine with you and your pet. I have a fenced yard and live near a city park that would be great for walks! I do have children in my home who love animals. Your pets would get plenty of cuddles, attention, and play time.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since day one—dogs, cats, you name it—so caring for pets is basically in my DNA. I started pet sitting and babysitting for neighbors when I was younger, and I’ve loved it ever since. I know how much pets mean to their people, and I treat every furball like they’re part of my own pack! As a stay-at-home mom with all my kids in school, I have lots of free time during the weekdays! I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings—perfect for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet! I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines to favorite toys—and I keep your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Caroline is the absolute sweetest! She came over to do a meet and greet with Toffee before watching her. She asked questions about her medication regimen, health conditions and preferences. It means so much to be able to find someone you trust to watch your fur baby! We will definitely be a repeat client.”


About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve had labs, rottweilers, and pit bulls. I love playing, taking on walks, and visiting with any and all dogs. I would love to help you and your loved pets! I do work full time, 4 days a week. I have the weekends to visit and play with animals. I can also visit animals after or before work. I do not have the space to have dogs at my home. I am looking to do drop in visits, walks, or just spend time with them! For cats as well.

About: Animals have always had my heart whether they have fur, feathers, or floppy ears, I love them like they’re my own! 🐾 From playful puppies to wise old whiskers, I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve had the joy of helping many senior pets live comfortably and happily in their golden years. I truly believe pets are family, and I understand how important it is for them to stay in their own cozy space, surrounded by familiar smells, toys, and routines. That’s why I provide the kind of loving care and attention you’d give them yourself so you can relax knowing your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. With over 12 years of experience in pet and house sitting (both through Rover and independently), I’ve spent lots of time with older pups and pets who need daily medication and a little extra TLC. I know how reassuring it is to have someone trustworthy in your home and by your pet’s side. 🐶💬 Just a heads-up: while I’m great at snuggles, meds, and belly rubs, I’m not a certified dog trainer so I will not be offering training services. If you have a training routine you’d like to continue while gone please let me know so I can accommodate. For everyone’s comfort and peace of mind, please let me know if there are any security cameras inside the home before a sit begins. I completely understand the need for home security, but just as a heads-up it’s illegal in most states to place cameras in private areas like bathrooms or bedrooms, even if it’s your own home. I respect your space and privacy and kindly ask for the same in return. Thank you so much for understanding! 🐾🏡 Pet care is a big part of my routine, and I always aim for clear, honest communication up front to make sure I’m the right fit before booking this helps avoid any surprises or conflicts later on. I also offer full-time care and am happy to take time off work to focus completely on your pet, especially if they’re extra cuddly or need that close, consistent companionship (Velcro pups are my specialty 🐶💕). I always aim to create a safe, calm space where your dog can feel at ease. As a new face in their home, I take things slow, stay relaxed, and tune into their energy letting them set the pace. I understand how confusing or stressful it can be when their favorite human isn’t around, so my goal is to build trust and help them feel secure, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💛

About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog since I was young. Growing up we raised lab puppies & I saw to their feeding, play, and waste removal throughout every age. I’ve dog sat big and small dogs and cats alike through home visits and home stays. I am an elementary teacher so I am available anytime in the summer, on the weekends, most holidays, and on week nights after 6pm! I’d love to love on your fur babies! I love furry companions to go on walks with, play with, and enjoy the overall company of any 4 legged friend! I would love to spoil your pet while you’re away!

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 love caring for all types of pets. I am dependable and would love to meet your special friend and help with care however needed. Have several acres of a dog Paradise in Adel, boarding available year round & full service grooming Someone is always taking care of animals and your pet will get loads of attention.
