Pet Sitting in Barney

“Allison did a perfect job checking in on my two cats while I was out of town. Booking her was fast and easy. She is punctual, respectful, follows directions, and is very communicative. She gave a thorough update and went above and beyond in her care. I definitely recommend booking with her. Thanks again, Allison!”

“Becky did a great job walking our dog and making sure he was happy. She cared for him so well and we will definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”

About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

“Kristin did an outstanding job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away for five days. The true measure of that is how relaxed they were when I returned. I highly recommend her and will certainly be using her again.”

About: I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My Schedule is open and flexible. I work m-f and I am home after 5 pm. There is someone at my house (my husband works at night) so They are available to help take animals out and on walks if needed. I am very flexible for dropins, house sitting, and much more! Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dog on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly house I also have a tiny personal fenced yard which is perfect for dogs to sunbathe in. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub. I am also known to make homemade dog treats. Let your dog be spoiled by me!

“Thank you so much for taking care of my kitties! I felt very comfortable leaving them in your capable hands. I’ll contact you in the future, should we need a sitter again! ?”

“Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!”

“Great meet and greet with Yasmin. Definitely a dog lover and our trio of pooches loved getting to know her. Will definitely keep her at the top of our Rover list!”

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

“Katie did a great job with our cat. He had always been boarded when we were out of town and I was a bit nervious leaving him at home. What a great result. He was happy, healthy, and relaxed. When boarded it takes a couple of days for him to get back to his normal personality. I plan to schedule at home visits whenever we must be out of town. Thanks for your care and attention Katie.”

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn and I’ve been a full time Vet Tech for the past 4 years and the Lead Tech for the last year. I absolutely adore my job! I know how to properly administer medication and insulin and I’m trained to know when a pet is feeling sick or injured. I work from 7:30am-6pm from Tuesday-Friday I have every other Saturday off and my days off are Sundays and Mondays. You can always message me and ask about my availability! As a Vet Tech, I’m always working with animals at my job daily while I also dog/cat sit as a little side job. I’m devoted in aiding all animals and making sure that they receive the proper care needed in my presence. How I care for your pet will depend on your pet’s health, personality, and what they like to do! All animals are different and have different wants and needs. I’m comfortable and familiar with caring for all pets whether your pet is young with high energy, or if your pet is old and blind. Pets will be watched thoroughly throughout the day and will be let out several times a day to avoid any damages to my property, however; owner’s will be responsible for paying for any damages that may be done by their pet. Urinating and defecating on furniture, chewing on furniture, ripping up carpet, etc. To avoid damages when I’m not home, I recommend bringing a crate that I can put your pet in while I’m away (if they do well in crates). Pets must be up to date on core vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella). They also must be on flea and tick preventative and have a negative fecal check (no intestinal parasites).

“Sam is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training. She was so good with my German shepherd and very reliable and trustworthy. So thankful to have had her, and sad we moved so we can’t use her anymore.”

About: Currently on a sabbatical from being an administrative law judge. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have personally owned several adopted shelter cats. Kitty, my cancer prone tiny, trained me how to dispense medications and do many other advanced treatments. I am currently working. I like doing it. I write for a living and I don't take that my writing is unclear well. If I take the time to tell you why a date might not work, I expect you to at least try to read and understand. If you tell me to re explain for no reason at all, then don't expect good results. You can scroll up and re read. If there's ambiguity, your questions can be written to get at that. I like dogs, cats, and people who can read. My home is being rebuilt until November 2025. Until then, I only have an apartment, but I take dogs to Paws and Pints and other dog parks as a means of getting out.

About: I have cared for cats since I was a kid. I am looking forward to being a warm host to their needs, or I guess they own me, so I will be a good pet to them. I can host a cat forever. I am also good with dogs, mostly dog walking. I work from home on weekdays. I can be flexible with my schedule during weekends for longer sittings. Overnight cat sitting is the best. Dog walking is available during weekdays only. I live in an apartment so the pets will mostly stay inside, I will give them a walk as needed for poo, and pee breaks or work from your insight on what your baby likes to do and their schedule.

“Easy to work with, made sure my cat was well taken care of and gave me updates with each visit.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the experience I’ve had caring for dogs from a young age. I’ve always helped take care of my uncle’s dog, making sure she was fed, taken out to go potty, and had someone to play with. I’m very patient and always pay attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets, especially dogs. I really enjoy being around animals—it gives me a chance to get outside, stay active, and do something I love. Spending time with pets is not only fun for me, but it also helps me stay balanced and happy during the week. When caring for pets, I always make sure their needs come first. With my own dog, I take him outside regularly—whether it’s for potty breaks or just to enjoy some fresh air. I stay by his side the whole time to make sure he feels safe, loved, and not alone. Whether I’m at home or at a client’s home, I give the same level of attention, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I’m always patient and gentle, and I make sure to show them lots of love and affection.
