Pet Sitting Capitol

“Anna did a great job of keeping me updated while I was away. I have 4 cats and one of which is a bit higher maintenance and I was worried to leave behind due to his IBD and him experiencing a flare up leading up to my trip. She was so flexible and adapted his care accordingly as his medications have to be changing pretty frequently. She let me know how much he was eating and how easily she got him to take his meds!”

“Namisul was a fantastic sitter for my two kittens. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. When we need another sitter he will be at the top of my list! I can’t recommend him enough. He’s a wonderful person.”

“Sofi was patient and caring for my dog. My dog warmed up to Sofi more and more each drop in visit. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pictures. Very reliable!”

Ashley Paige R.

“Great experience with Alissa! She was very responsive and sent funny/charming pictures of my two cats each visit. Would definitely book with again!”

Ben M.

“Katherine was amazing!! I was given the cutest daily pictures and informative blurbs of the visits each day. Katherine even put up with my cat’s shenanigans and had excellent communication when needed :) I can’t recommend enough! Thank you so much!!”

Mikayla S.

“Nate cat sit for me for a little over a week and was exceptional. It was my first time away from my two cats for so long, and Nate’s frequent updates and pictures really helped put me at ease. Nate frequently spent extra time with them, and I know they’re currently missing how much Nate played with them. I would highly recommend Nate and will use him again.”

“Seanna has cat sit for us twice now and has done an excellent job each time! Even our scaredy cat will come out for her 😻 Would highly recommend!”

“Alex took care of our 3 cats very well, even successfully dosing our skittish diabetic. They were calm and content when we got home. Great communication, too! Responsive and informative— much appreciated.”

“This was my first time booking a sitter with Rover, usually I’m on the other end as a Roverer myself. Tara was awesome! Our kitties were well taken care of and she went above and beyond. Everything was clean when we got home and our boys were happy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks Tara!”

“Dustin took great care of our two cats! He was very responsive and professional and followed our directions. Our very shy cat even came out to greet him so clearly he knows what he’s doing! We will definitely book again!!”

About: I had a Maltese poodle mix for about 14 years. He recently passed last Thanksgiving. I have experience pet sitting, cleaning up, grooming, and feeding. And I also have experience caring for older dogs. I’m currently studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I live on campus, local and my schedule is pretty open. I have availability mornings and evenings most days, and have flexible hours. I mostly offer dog walking services. And I can provide them with water and bowls as needed. I can also walk them to local parks or other locations.

“Amy did such an amazing job! Even my shy cat came out for photos. She took extra care to ensure she was playing with them, which felt great as some people assume “they are just cats” and don’t need that extra interaction. Her updates were thorough, and I’m definitely getting some of the pictures she took of them framed!! After an especially scarring experience with a prior sitter, it feels nice to be able to trust someone again. Will definitely be using her again”

Ashley A.

“Wendy was great. She gave though updated of how each of our kitties was doing. It was comforting to know how each was being taken care of, especially since they each have different ways of needing attention. One kitty can sometimes choose not to take his medicine and she came up with ways to kindly convince him to. She even went the extra mile to leave things tidy. The kitties were very well taken care of.”

Jonathan M.

“Vanessa really has a way of putting me and the cats at ease. She was very professional during the meet and greet, took notes while I explained the feeding routine and asked relevant questions. I left for my trip knowing the cats would be in good hands. She also takes great pet photos. I felt like she really respected each of my cats and their individual boundaries. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone needing cat care.”

About: I have always loved animals. I was the kid that would bring stray animals home asking my parents if I could keep them. I have always had dogs in my family homes. I graduated from Iowa State University with an Animal Science degree in May of 2016. I have dog sat for other families in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. I honestly love dog sitting and I have even taken care of some turtles and tortoises. I don’t really think of pet sitting as a job, but rather an opportunity to provide a safe and loving environment for your family pets while you are on vacation or if you have other obligations. I know how difficult it is to find someone who cares for your animals as you do, and I would truly love to be that person.

About: Dogs control my life! By day I am a receptionist at a local vet clinic/rescue. At home, I have a rescue Chihuahua who is 8 years old and has been with me for 4 wonderful years. My whole day revolves around pets and I can't get enough. I'll treat your pets like the sweet baby angels they deserve to be! I work a later schedule most days of the week, Monday through Thursday I'm in the clinic until 7, and Fridays 9-5. I have plenty of time for morning and night walks, breakfast and dinnertime! I treat my clients home better than my own. You won't even know I was there! I'm clean, respectful and knowledgeable. I will stick with you and your pets daily schedules, so their routines don't get disturbed.

About: I've been the neighborhood pet sitter since I was in 5th grade, taking care of cats and dogs of all ages and sizes! Additionally, my experience handling horses makes me confident in my ability to handle and walk any dog. I have loved animals all my life and would love to spend some time with yours! This summer I am a part-time student, and would love to spend my free time being active or cozy with your cat or dog! My classes are online, so I don't have a set schedule, and can be extremely flexible. I am comfortable performing any task your animal may need in your home! I will always respect your space, and hope to leave it better than I found it. My main goal is to keep your pet happy and safe!

About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (9 years old). Together, we have fostered 12 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after a Rhodesian Ridgeback and an American pit bull. Our own dog is a 2.5 year old Aussie-beagle. We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

“Jackson was once again amazing! He does so well with our pups who has mobility issues but we trust Jackson and so does Simba which is huge! Thank you Jackson Simba and I look forward to next time.”

“Jolie was great with my three dogs. They clearly enjoyed her visits with her and she sent me lots of pictures. Followed all the notes I left and I felt very confident and comfortable with her caring for my pack.”
