House Sitting in Blue Grass

About: I have 32 years of pet experience. I am owned by two cats, one of whom is special needs. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens, and senior cats and dogs. I have experience administering oral, injectable, and topical medication. I work full-time 8,5 hours Sunday and 10 hours M-W. I do have the option of taking long lunches and can do drop-ins before and after work and during lunch. I am most available Th-Sat. Those days work best for walks, pet sitting, or drop-ins. I always follow instructions on caring for others’ pets to the letter. Times for feeding and medications, whether or not other dogs or people are allowed to s hello on walks, daily litter box cleaning, etc. Respecting the pet parent’s wishes is very important to me. When pet sitting I am as unobtrusive as possible, cleaning up after myself, and do my best to leave the house exactly as I found it.

“Cheryl took great care of our pack while we were gone, including special feeding and medication instructions for our elderly dog. She sent photos and updates on how everyone was doing. She was prompt and left the house in great condition!”

“Kristen has been walking my dogs for over a year now. She always makes sure not only Junior but also myself are taken care of daily. She shows so much care for my dogs. I would recommend her to anyone”

“Brooke took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town. She followed all of our instructions and made sure to show our girl all the love. She also took care of few things around the house too. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Angel took great care to ensure Charlie was properly attended to. He humored Charlie with his favorite game (chasing treats), mashed up the stinky food (a gross but necessary step for Charlie to eat), and even took time to sit on the sofa with Charlie for pets and brushing. Bonus: Angel tidied up all the cat-related stuff including cleaning out the recyclable cat food containers, cleaning the floor around the feeding area, and wiping down the counters and cleaning the sink and strainer. Angel left these areas cleaner than they were when I left my house - definitely above and beyond what I expected! The best thing about all of this is that my cat didn’t seem to even notice that I was gone - no grudge, no “Where have you been??” - just a very happy cat. I will definitely be hiring Angel again.”

“Jordan was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures of my pup. Took my dog on walks and left the house the way she arrived. Will be booking again soon!”

“Zara does a great job with our yellow lab and guinea pigs. She is very responsible and really cares about animals. She has ambitions to become veterinary technician / doggy daycare owner, and currently works at a kennel taking care of dogs and cats.”

About: I have been a consistent dog sitter for 2 families for over 5 years. I have 2 dogs of my own, a chihuahua and a blue heeler who both have loads of energy! I currently work in the Davenport schools so my weekdays will always be open after 3 pm. I have completely open weekends and during the summer months I will be available on weekdays after noon every day and still completely open on weekends! My dogs would love to get to play with yours sometimes, we have a big field near us that we often take our dogs to, to run for a while and play fetch. I am also open to requests and of course all guidelines for caring for your babies in your own home!

“Amara is incredibly attentive and hands on when it comes to pet sitting. We have a cat who is extremely hyper active and needs special attention when it comes to his eating patterns — and Amara handled him with ease. On top of that, Amara would send us daily updates and pictures of our cat while we were on vacation and we didn’t even have to ask her to do it. She gave us so much peace of mind and we are thankful for that! 10/10 would hire Amara again. Which surprise, we already did!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for years. I had a diabetic dog and had to administer shots. I’ve also given seizure Medication. I’m active for walks and can also work work with people who are going out of town last minute and need a sitter. I am typically available every weekday afternoon for someone looking for longtime Care to drop in or take walks. I’m also available anytime on the weekends to stay overnight or as needed. I don’t provide dogs to stay at my home. I live at an apartment where I would not be allowed to have another dog on the premises.

“My puppy is sick and Nick did a great job watching over him and giving medication while I was at work!”

“Mallory was amazing with our pups! It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good, caring hands while we were away. We will definitely be using her again to watch our babies when we travel!!”

“Taylors the best! She has cared for our horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, barn cats and indoor dogs. She never misses a beat and always treats them as her own! We always come home to happy and well cared for pets. Taylor is reliable and hardworking. Jonna H”

“Kenzie was phenomenal with our 2 pups! They loved every minute with her! We will definitely be using Kenzie again 😊”

“LIsa was wonderful! I was anxious at first to leave our kitties with a stranger. But, Lisa was very good at sending texts and photos. It wasn't long before I could relax and enjoy our time away. After being gone seven days, our kitties seemed happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. I definitely recommend Rover.com to anyone needing a pet sitter. Lisa was amazing. I will definitely be booking her in the future.”

I have devoted my life to taking care of animals. I have experience in boarding, daycare, training, etc I will make sure you pets get the attention they deserve. If your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can still give that dog attention while keeping it away from other dogs.

“Sarah was great. She was very communicative and kept me up to date on the dogs. They seemed to take to her right away. And she left my house in the shape she came to it in which was appreciated. I would recommend Sarah and definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs growing up and now have two of my own. I have a large unfenced yard, my dogs are allowed to cuddle with me on the couch, and they sleep in bed with me if they want to. I treat them like family because that’s what they are! You can rest easy knowing your pup will have lots and lots of love and playtime. Every day we go for a walk, to the park, or play outside together. There’s a dog park right down the street from my house which is super convenient! We would love to welcome your pup into our home. I’m also a runner so if your dog wants to come with me even better! We look forward to meeting you!

About: I have had the responsibility of taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old and I have loved doing so. I started staying over night with dogs and cats when I was 17 years old and I make sure they are loved the entire time. I have dealt with puppies as well as adult dogs when it comes to potty training, taking them on walks, giving medicine if it is necessary, and making sure they have all of their needs taken care of. There is no doubt that your dog will be loved and greatly taken care of when I am with them. :) I am currently a full-time college student at St. Ambrose University but I do have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I am available mornings and evenings and a couple days a week I am available through the lunch hour. I will be respectful of your house and belongings as well as your pets belongings. Throughout overnight stays I will always have the dishes done and make sure to take out the trash when the stay is complete. I love to send daily updates of the dog so you know they are in great hands.

About: I have owned dogs of many breeds, sizes, and dispositions all my life, and have watched and cared for clients' dogs for over 20 years. I have worked with cats, dogs, horses, and small/exotic pet care. Owning multiple dogs myself (one with special needs) and a senior cat, I understand that leaving your babies is difficult, and I aim to ease your worry in any way I can. I provide updates daily on your pet(s) so you know they are happy and doing well while you are away. I specialize in cats and dogs with high medical and/or behavioral needs, including "difficult dogs". I am dedicated to your pet's care and blend their needs into my daily routine, with morning walks and lots of play time in the afternoon and evenings. I come to your home, where your pet feels the safest and most secure. They are happier at home, and will have less stress while you are away.
