About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, particularly giant breeds. I love all dogs and want to give them the best chance possible to be healthy and happy! My home has been a foster for many dogs at different times. Taking in dogs in need of medical care, puppies, female dogs going through heat before spay procedures, neglect cases and senior dogs. I’ve seen it all and will do whatever to provide a safe and comfortable place for you pet to relax and adjust. I am home full time with outings that are no more than 2-4 hours for drop in visit. We spend plenty of time snuggling and pulling out any and all of the toys. I have a fenced yard and a permanent crew that enjoy friends to play and nap with. Another bedroom is just for the dogs so if your dog is not crate trained they have their own bedrooms protected solo space for feeding or if for any reason I need to leave the home.

About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!

About: Hi! I’d greatly appreciate the honor of welcoming your best friend into my home, or caring for them at yours! You will receive frequent updates as much as you like. I've been a dog dad for over 30 years and know how important your fur baby is to you. I have experience with all different breeds, ages and levels of health. My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own. I work full-time from home, same employer for over 20 years. I am available all seven days/nights for whatever attention your dog needs or wants, and any potty schedule your dog is accustomed to. I require little to 0 notice for bookings or cancellations, and able to travel as far as needed (within reason). My house is on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. The back yard is secure and completely fenced, very enjoyable space for your dog to play in. Dogs are welcomed on all furniture. Home is smoke-free. I can also travel to the client's home for all necessary dog sitting/walking services.

About: A happy pet is a happy house! They are the mainstay of our homes and caring for them gives me so much joy! I care for multiple dogs and cats as my friends and family need! I have a lot of experience with feeding, walking, playing, bathing etc.I have been in pet care for over 20 years and taken care of many pets with a variety of needs. I understand pets have their own unique personalities and need different care/attention to make them be there best! I would love to be able to care for your pet and I will gladly help give them what they need to be happy and healthy while you’re away I work full time at a tennis facility but my hours make sure that pups get morning and afternoon walks just fine! (Plus tennis balls!) I am more than willing to care for and accommodate basic pet needs as well as more complicated ones. I prefer care be written down somewhere for later reference if needed. Water will always be full and available and anything that may cause harm to your pet (wires, small or sharp objects, etc) will be out of reach or inaccessible to your pet through height/doors/secured areas.

“Great communication and updates on how each walks goes with my dog! I really appreciate their dedication to giving a great experience and the care of my dog!”

About: Hi there! I’m Jamie, and if I’m being honest... I love animals more than humans most days. With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for everything from puppies to parrots—and even the occasional goat—I’ve built a life around making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether you're headed out of town or just need a hand with your furry (or feathery, or scaly) family members, I'm here to make things easier for both you and your beloved creature friends. My goal? Zero stress for you, and tail wags, purrs, or chirps of joy for them. 🐶🐱🐥 Who I Care For: I care for all kinds of animal companions, including: Dogs (all ages & sizes) Cats (sassy to snuggly) Birds (my personal favorite!) Reptiles & Amphibians Rodents, Rabbits, Goats, Chickens... you name it! If they’re not human and you love them—I want to care for them. 🐕 Dog Experience: Puppies: potty training, basic commands, playtime! Seniors: medication, gentle physical therapy, stroller walks (yes, I have one!) Experience with dogs from 8–85 lbs and ages 2 months to 17 years 🐈 Cat Experience: Comfortable with all cat personalities (aloof, cuddly, spicy) Experience with elderly and sick cats, including medication administration 🐦 Bird Experience: Over 2 years of bird care experience Former bird rescuer & re-releaser (yep, I caught lost birds in buildings!) Passionate about bird behavior, feeding, handling, and enrichment 🦎 Amphibian & Reptile Experience: Experience with frogs, toads, turtles, and even an axolotl Open and eager to follow your specific care routines 🐾 Other Critters: I may not have decades of experience with rodents, bunnies, chickens, or goats—but I follow instructions to a T and learn fast. If you tell me what your animal needs, I’ll make sure it’s done right—with love and care. 💬 My Care Philosophy: Every animal is unique—and so is every pet parent. I never assume I know better than you when it comes to your pet's needs. I’ll love your animal like family, but I’ll always respect your rules, routines, and preferences. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and compassionate. 🌟 New to Rover, Not New to Animals While I’m just starting out on Rover, I bring decades of animal experience and a deep love for every creature I meet. Give me a chance, and I promise—you’ll be able to relax knowing your animal companions are in caring, capable hands. Let’s chat about how I can help make life a little easier—for you and your creature friends. 🐾💛 I’m currently not working and I’m ready to be there to play with your pups or other critters when you need me. I can generally respond to last minute requests if necessary, but appreciate as much of heads up as possible. I have a fenced in yard, one small, elderly and kind of cranky dog, two cats, and three teenage humans (who all love animals as much as I do!). When it comes to caring for your pets in my home, I have to be a little more discerning as I have the needs of my own animal friends to consider. I can care for potty trained, non-dominant, non-aggressive, and very calm dogs and cats in my home. I can also care for caged or tanked creature friends in my home.

About: I've had dogs most of my life, growing up I had a mutt named Spot, then a Shih-tzu named Patches, while living with my sister I got experience with larger breeds as she had three bully/rottweiler mixes, and currently I live with an Akita Inu service dog that I care for. I am currently a live in caregiver for a disabled friend of mine and when I'm not taking care of him my schedule is very open for things like walks, check-ins, and brief housesitting. I treat all animals with the same care and respect I would want shown to my own pets. Their care and comfort are my top priorities, making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared after.

About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.

About: Ever since I was young I have been surrounded by animals and have always found a connection with them. I have watched and cared for pets owned by friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care and entertain your furry friends! I work 2-10pm some days, but message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am flexible and can accommodate accordingly. I prefer to take care of animals in the comfort of their own home. I am very respectful and a trusted individual so your animals and space are safe with me.

About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

“Oriana did an amazing job with my curious pups! She gave them plenty of time to find the perfect spot to do their business as well as sniff every other blade of grass in the vicinity. She gave them good love and their treat. I would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I've always been passionate about dogs and can hardly remember a time when I didn't have one of these amazing, loyal companions by my side. I've been dog sitting for friends and family members for years, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to branch out so that I can meet even more fur friends. I also do dog training/owner coaching, and I believe it's never too late to teach a dog new tricks. My schedule has changed where I no longer work remotely, which means my availability is limited. However, that hasn't changed my love of dog sitting, and so I will still watch my fur friends on a part time basis, schedule permitting. I have a huge back yard with a 6 ft privacy fence for ample room to run and play and even a doggie pool to splash around in to stay cool. My house is a couple blocks down from the trail for my fur friends who love to go for walks to get some of that extra energy out.

About: Hi! I’m Angela :) a nursing student with a lifelong love for dogs. I’ve grown up around them and currently have two of my own, Sophie and Cooper, who are truly part of the family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. With my flexible schedule, I’m committed to providing consistent, high quality care. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of routines, and always happy to send updates so you can feel at ease. 😺🐶Your dog’s well being is my top priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I schedule dedicated time for walks, playtime, and feeding to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my client's home, I focus on providing personalized care based on the pet's needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and ensuring they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have always loved caring for animals! I grew up on a dairy farm and took care of dogs, cats, goats, cows, pigs, horses, and pretty much anything with 4 legs! I’m a caretaker at heart. I work full time as a nurse at a local hospital. I would love to care for your pet, just as I would care for my own. I work full time as a nurse. But, on my days off or after work- I will be available for drop in visits and walks. I care for my cat- Skunky everyday. She has been with me for over 10 years. Sadly, as she gets older she has needed a lot more care. Daily, I administer medication, groom, and feed her. I have learned a lot about pet care both through this experience and growing up on a farm.
