Pet Sitting in Castle Grove

“First time on Rover and I’m certain we got spoiled. I’m sure others are great but Amanda set a bar for us that will be hard to beat. This app was made for people like Amanda to channel her calling. I’m sure Lucy and Zeno would agree and give 5 woofs and 5 meows for the attention and love.”

“Kinzley we can’t thank you enough for your help with all our fur babies on our wedding day. I was able enjoy the day knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely reach out for future visits if needed. You’re the best!!”

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: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, whether it was feeding, walking, and bathing dogs. I’ve always loved cats. Some even call me the cat whisperer. I currently work 1st shift 7:00am to 3:30pm every weekday, and have a second job working 5-9 depends on what day of the week I work. Majority of my weekends are free. My cats are very spoiled. They have many toys and get treat’s every morning and on Sunday’s get a special diner. I play with them every night before bed. I do prefer to be paid by venmo or cash.

About: I've had dogs throughout my life, help friends and families take care of thier animals when needed. Have cared for senior dogs, puppies and all in-between. Our schedule changes from time to time, please reach out and see if we have availability. We would love to help you out. Thank you! We have fenced in yard, two small adult dogs, great neighborhood, can easily crate your fur friend, pet loving family. Please reach out and see if we can assist.

About: I love taking care of any dog, I am very flexible with any type of dog! lazy? energetic? no worries i can do it all! I was around dogs pretty much my whole life. Whether it was a dog of my own or a friend/family members, i always loved taking care of dogs. Dogs are truly someone’s best friend and i know if i wanted a sitter for my dog I would want someone who loves dogs, cares and nurtures for any dog whether it’s yours or not. If you’re looking for someone like that? get ahold of me. Dog walking is my specialty but I can also be a trustworthy person your dog can trust as well as the owner. Pet care for me anytime for dog sitting/walking i can do weekdays after 3pm. Weekends I am fully available. Overnights I can check by 5am Always stay calm and let them get comfortable with me before over stepping any boundaries. But i love to run around and play with dogs!

About: I have three golden retrievers ranging from one year to ten years old. I have about an acre where they enjoy to roam with an underground fence. I am in close contact with my vet clinic to stay on top of the care of my 9 pets (6 cats and 3 dogs). The goldens have different medications and diets I tend to. I allow the dogs into the mudroom inside my home for a cool place to lounge that they are free to come and go with a doggie door. Additionally, I have a large kennel in the garage and an extra large kennel outside with a roof. Working from home allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets. I start the day with feeding, give medications as needed, and a quick health check for each of our furry friends. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to check on the pets and ensure everyone has fresh water and a cozy spot to relax. My flexible schedule means I can adjust feeding times and offer plenty of attention and care. Although boarding at my home might be easiest for my schedule, I am open to drop in visits and walks as I know it's nice to keep your pets at home when you are away with someone reliable to care for them. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a secure environment with an acre of underground fenced space for dogs to roam freely. Inside, pets have access to a mudroom with a doggie door, offering a safe, cool place to lounge. I also have a large kennel in the garage and an extra-large kennel outside with a roof if needed. With my work-from-home schedule, I’m available throughout the day to monitor and care for pets. I am flexible with options when it comes to boarding your animal at home. Send me a message and I can help accommodate you and your pet(s) needs.

“So grateful for Jessie’s drop in visits for my cat while I was out of town! She provided great care and shared updates and photos daily! Very happy and would book her again in the future!”

“Oriana came and watched our dog in a somewhat-emergency, last-minute, unreasonable request. She did an amazing job, our dog seemed to like her, and we are more than happy with the result!”

About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I work a 1st shift full time job currently. My routine and been built to accommodate my own pets needs, enrichement. It has been pretty easy to include other kids into this routine successfully. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.

About: I’ve been watching friends and family pets for about 15 years now. Enjoy playing with dogs and cats alike. Experience from 1 year old puppies to 10+ year old dogs. I am available most weekends along with Fridays and Mondays. I’m always running errands in the community and can provide drop in services at this time. :) I have a puppy that is 3 years old and loves making new friends. We would provide services in your home multiple times a day

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched! (Pun intended) Your preferences and concerns will always be the forefront of discussions on how I will care for your beloved fur baby. I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up showing horses and cattle. I currently have Scottish highland cows, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients. I love animals more than people most days. :) Being around any kind of animal is my happy place. When in college, I worked for Apple Creek Kennel in Marion, IA. I’m very approachable and easy to talk to. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I will work with you if price or schedule doesn’t line up. I work from home MOST days. If I’m not home, I’m usually not too far away. I make my own schedule so I’m able to be somewhat flexible. I’m a crop insurance adjuster full time and usually the busiest times of the year for me are around planting (May-June) and harvest (Sept-Dec). Please be mindful about how far apart we live. If we do live 20+ miles apart and you need me to care for your pet 4 times a day, that’s a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of driving time and gas for that day, on top of my full time job. I do my best not to over-commit myself and I am very upfront and honest about my schedule for the time frames requested. My full time job takes priority but I will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet(s) if my schedule allows. 🥰 I have a 5ft fenced yard. I will care for your animals specifically as I’m told and will do what is safest and most secure for your animal.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a little girl, up until he passed away at 14, so I’ve learned a lot about dogs. I’ve also helped plenty of my friends with their dogs, especially my close relatives and their three Aussies in the past three years. I’ve helped with potty training them, as well as feeding, watering, walking, playing ball with them. I’ve also helped with two litters of puppies! I do not have a job currently so I have much free time to spend with dogs and cats! I like to volunteer on Wednesdays and occasionally have dance that night too, and Sundays I have church in the morning, so I’m very free. I am very adaptable, and willing to work with all sorts of dogs to make sure they’re happy and safe! I am a bit of a perfectionist and I will definitely make sure that the things you ask of me get done to your standard, as I want to make you and your pets happy!

About: Your pet's well-being is my top priority! As a seasoned dog sitter (3+ years) and vet clinic assistant/technician, I've got the skills and know-how to provide exceptional care. From snuggles to medical needs, I've got you covered! My schedule is Monday (3 pm - 8 pm), Tuesday to Friday (9 am - 6 pm) at the vet clinic, and Saturday (8 am - 12 pm). Your furry friend can come with me to the clinic for regular breaks or I'll visit your home during lunch for playtime and let-outs! Your furry friend's happiness matters! I'll work with you to maintain their daily routine, minimizing stress and maximizing snuggles. Whatever you need, I'm here for you and your furry friends!
