“Kate took great care of my dog, Khloe while I was out of town! She kept me updated the whole time. My house was nice and neat and clean after and she even brought my mail in for me. 10 out of 10 recommend :)”
“Calli did a great job watching my cat and house for several days, and she was flexible accommodating a last minute flight change on my return. She recognized a stressed-out cat who was not used to her owner being away, took her time letting the cat warm up her, and provided updates along the way. You'll be comfortable leaving your pet and house in Calli's hands!”
“Renea stayed with our pups over the weekend. She provided house sitting services and did an excellent job tending to our dogs but also taking care of our home. She’s very respectful, responsible, and responsive. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for services.”
“Gabrielle was great house sitting for my dog, Khloe. Khloe and the house both looked happy and healthy when I came back home. She gave us good updates and pictures. No complaints :)”
“By far the most thorough meet & greet of any dog sitter we've had. Good at asking questions (re medicines or other things regarding the dogs' care) when they come up.”
About: I have experience with all ages, senior dogs and cats that have had medical needs and that require diapers 24/7, basic training, drop ins, sits and walking. I am currently available most days as I am taking some time off from work and will be doing Rover to supplement income. If I don’t have plans for a certain day, I can fit in drop-ins During a drop I’m able to walk, give treats/medication, change diapers, crate animal if needed, and do overnight stays as well. Flexible, let me know!
“I would highly recommend Natalie and we would definitely use her again in the future. Our cat who is scared of people he isn’t familiar with took to Natalie pretty fast. She spent so much time here with our cat and two dogs and they were well taken care of!!!”
“If I could give more Stars I definitely would! Cassandra was excellent with my "boys" Oliver and Maverick while I was out of town this past weekend. She went above and beyond my expectations; sending daily pics, keeping me informed of there walks and BONUS - when I came home, my home was just as I left it. My dogs (Golden Retriever and Shepard mix) shed like crazy. She even took it upon herself to keep up with that AND picked up the poop from the backyard! Are you kidding me?!! I would and I will have her back to care for my boys. Knowing I can leave my home and more importantly my pups, realizing I have complete peace of mind is literally priceless!!”
“Steven was a great house and cat sitter. He has a really great disposition about him, and when we got home, our girls were happy and the house was clean. Would love to hire Steven again!”
About: I am an Animal Science Major at ISU and worked at a vet clinic recently! I am looking forward to having process in my career and loving what I do best! I am full time in school and the rest of the day throughout homework and studying I’m up and about with my animals fitting in their needs and care. I value their space when giving me signals of stress and being overwhelmed as very excited with them when that is what they need. Full energy dogs are so loving and we have the best time as well as calm and old souls who needs more naps.
“Rachel did a great job with my two dogs while we were out of town. I felt like I could trust her from the start, and she proved that intuition right. She shared photos and sent frequent updates. I’d gladly hire Rachel again.”
“Melanie was top-notch. This was our first Sophie-care encounter with Melanie. Sophie is a 16+ year-old beagle with health issues and medicine requirements. We exchanged info through Rover, Melanie stopped by to meet Sophie and learn a little about Sophie’s care, and Melanie cared for Sophie during a drop-in session at our home. Melanie was professional, thoughtful, positive, and very clearly had Sophie’s health and well-being as her top priorities. We will definitely add Melanie to our go-to list.”
“Julie is amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog and cat, sent frequent updates and checked how she should handle things, such as an impending storm. Left our house cleaner than when we left and was very easy to communicate with. Book with her now before her name gets out there and she has no availability left.”
“Due to unfortunate circumstances she couldn’t watch my pups. She was very proactive in keeping me up to date and helping me find another dog sitter. She said she would definitely like to help in the future.”
“Jasmine took care of my senior dog while I was away for a week. He requires a lot of medication and she did a great job making sure he got his meds on time overall great job and I would recommend her!”

Steven wasn't able to do overnights with our dogs, but he visited frequently each day and both dogs were so comfortable with him, they weren't stressed at all. They settled into a routine with Steven easily, I think because Steven has such a great vibe with them. We have already booked Steven to take care of our fur babies for two trips later this year. I can absolutely recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with Skyler! He was caring, reliable, and treated our dog like family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such loving hands while we were away. We appreciated the updates, attention, and genuine care he showed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!
Kati watched our two big dogs and two cats for 10 days and was the best with them! She was so caring and attentive to their needs and sent many pictures/updates of our fur babies. Kati has watched our dogs regularly on a weekly basis for a few months now and for this extended stay and we trust her whole-heartedly with our animals. I’d recommend Kati over and over!
KaDee was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, and I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care. She asked thoughtful questions that showed how truly invested she is in their well-being, and after her consistent updates and great walks, I will definitely be rebooking her in the future!
We were very pleased with the super care Alexis T. gave to Buster and Dolly when we had to go out of town for a family Celebration of Life. Not only did she have to deal with the sub zero temperatures during her stay, but Dolly had just come into heat so she had the added responsibility of dealing with doggie diapers. Alexis had two very large dogs under control and happy while we were gone. Alexis followed care instructions carefully and we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Alexis respected our requests for sticking with the "doggie manners and commands" we use and took care of our property as well as the dogs. She even had all the dishes she used done and fed the birds. Alexis was comfortable with being out in the country. We could tell the dogs really liked her and responded well to her.. Alexis was always quick to respond to any communication. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her services. Alexis did a great job especially considering the sub zero temperatures and a dog in heat. Thank you, Alexis!
