About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry family members. I’ve had a variety of different dog breeds — especially those labeled “aggressive.” Because of this, I know every dog has a story and is capable of love regardless of how they’re stereotyped. All animals deserve the same love and kindness as I would give to my very own. I have some experience volunteering at my local humane society & dog sitting for family members & friends. I have no problem tailoring to your animals’ needs and I will treat them with the same love, respect, and adoration that I have for my own fur babies. While seeking a job, my schedule is mostly flexible with the exception of some time to take care of my own dog. During the school year, I am a junior accounting student at the University of Northern Iowa. As my schedule gets busier, I am a great communicator and will dedicate the time & space to care for your pets or redirect you if I cannot give my all for your pets. When caring for your pet I expect to find food with instructions (feeding time, how much food, etc.), treats & how many they can have, toys or puzzles, and any other equipment you want me to use when looking after your furry friend. Please do not hesitate to share any boundaries or silly rituals that your pet requires.
About: I love animals. I have been around a huge variety from farm animals, to reptiles, from birds to domestic pets. I raised lambs, volunteered at a dog shelter, and have my lovely horse to care for now. I love big dogs and think they are often misunderstood. I will always follow your care instructions and will keep you updated on your pet to ease your mind while you are away. I work 2 part time jobs. I work fast food and I babysit. I do not work on Sundays, but the rest of the week my fast food job schedule varies. I know on Thursday the week before what my next weeks schedule is and will never accept jobs that I know would cause me to not properly care for your pet. I don't offer services from my home, but I am knowledgeable to know how to crate your pet if needed, safely attach harnesses, and will check all doors and locks before I leave your property to ensure your pet doesn't escape. I will make sure all water bowls and food bowls are clean, and that water bowls are filled each time I leave.
About: My name is Meagan and I have loved animals from the beginning of time. I have a rottweiler named Karl and a pit mix named Roman, so big dogs don't seem to phase me. I am in the process of getting my animal science degree from Ellsworth Community College with dreams of vet school in the future. I have a background of dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cattle and equine. I have watched family friends dogs for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to animals from other homes. I have never met an animal I didn't like and I'm not about to start now. I look forward to spending time with many more animals that will enter my life in the future.
“Jennifer was responsive communicative and right on time for the meet and greet. She is responsible and knowledgeable with dogs and Josie loved her. Highly recommended”
About: I've lived with cats and worked with dogs my whole life. From bathing my grandma's dog to walking pit bulls at the shelter, animals have always been a part of my life. Over the summer I'm looking for work wherever I can take it but mostly open. In the school year I am usually never gone more than 3 hours. I live in a pet friendly basement apartment with air conditioning. There is space for a kennel and other supplies if needed. It's not gigantic is very clean and the complex has a bark park.
About: While my work schedule doesn’t allow me to have a pet, I’ve dog sat for family friends, taken my friend’s dogs for walks when, and have even spent a few days checking in on turtles, chickens, and a cat while their owners were on vacation! Looking forward to get to know more pets in the Cedar Valley! I travel a bit for work so parts of the year can be a bit busy but am almost always home and available during the holidays and weekends! Willing to learn and be as patient as needed to help a pet feel as comfortable as possible! Can walk in any weather and take pretty good pet selfies!
“Elizabeth was extremely communicative and kind with our dogs! Our anxious dog who is very nervous around other people even warmed up to her enough to sit in her lap by the end of our trip.”
About: I am passionate about animal care. I love to clean and make sure everyone in the home is as happy as can be. I will treat your pet like a member of my family. I am available through the end of the summer. Until then my schedule can be very flexible. After that I will only be available on weekends. I like to respect the animals space and not be disrespectful to a stranger in their space. Some animals can be more anxious or have certain needs of care that I’m happy to provide.
About: I have been rescuing and caring for cats & dogs since I was 17 years old. Pets have a special personality that takes a special personality to care for them. I am also familiar with & experienced with giving oral & injection medications I work for the local school district Aug - June so I have summers off. But I have the flexibility/availability to care for pets year round My 2 dogs and 2 cats are very well cared for. We have a fenced in yard. The cats are not allowed outside but all are chipped and protected with flea and tick treatments. They are fed twice a day with occasional treats and water 24/7.
About: I have always loved pets. Throughout my entire life, I have had both cats and dogs, and recently my family adopted a gecko from my stepsister. Pets have always been the center of my day, and I always look forward to seeing my little fur-babies, and taking care of them. With this I have been referred to many family friends to extend the love and care I have for my babies onto their babies. I will always take care of your fur-babies as I would my own. I also am very good at giving pets medicine, as I have done it for a few years now. I am a full time college student at UNI, and I love taking care of animals. Being away at college has made me miss my own animals, so I fill that gap by getting to take care and love other animals, and give other families peace of mind while away. I am super open to any environments, whether it be a fenced in yard, or a yard where I will need to leash the pups/kitties up to take them out. I will listen and obey any instructions the client may give, whether it be for respecting the pets, or respecting the house.
About: I've had dogs, and cats my entire life, whether it be the family pets, or my own. I've had and taken care of cats, and dogs. My girlfriend and I currently have two dogs, Harry a 2 year old Husky, Chow, Terrier, Poodle mix. Oliver a year and a half year old Golden Retriever. Pet care is a LARGE part of my day to day life. I try and give my dogs at least one walk or trip to the dog park every day. Our dogs are part of our family. They're very sweet, and loving. My girlfriend and I do not live together so they stay at both of our houses throughout the week. At my house, where I will be boarding clients dogs is partially fenced in, but when outside the dogs are always supervised and tied. I generally stay outside with them while they're outside because I don't think I can be too cautious when it comes to their safety. When it comes to a clients pets, I would be just as if not more diligent. As mentioned, I do have two dogs of my own, however when taking care of clients pets, my dogs will stay at my girlfriend's house to eliminate any possible conflicts. If hired to go to a clients home, I am happy to accommodate whatever instructions and routines they have for their own dogs or cats.
About: I was a dog co-parent for 6 years, with a small chihuahua-corgi mix that was frankly too smart for her size. I trained her to shake, and drastically reduced her reactions to strangers on walks, as well as reactions to getting her nails clipped. I have walked and dog-sat for family, friends, and roommates since my teens. I've lived in three situations where roommates were away or very busy with grad school, so I ended up being their main dog-walker. I'm a very active person anyway, so I'm happy to get my cardio in while caring for a pup! I'm working part time and remotely, mainly on Wednesdays and Fridays, so the rest of my time is very free besides walking and hanging out with my own dog. When caring for a pet in a clients home, I can clean litter boxes, check food and water, play with the animal with toys or treats if available, and reinforce any ongoing training if the owner gives instructions on what to do. I'd love to let a dog into a fenced yard and run around with it or play fetch, although I'd be nervous in a yard without a fence and would want the dog to be leashed in that case. With a new cat, I usually just wait for the cat to approach me first instead of going looking for it.
About: Hi! I’m Kennedy, I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and routines. I love getting outside for walks, playing fetch, and giving all the cuddles in between. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re gone. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and routines I am currently working part time so I have time to care for animals in the afternoons and evenings. I am also in nursing school but have availability on some weekends. I have a fenced yard which allows dogs to exercise and play without the fear of them running away or losing sight of the dogs.
About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.
“Baylee is AMAZING! She was able to meet with me right away, and fit Winston in next day. She worked around my schedule and made me feel super comfortable. Listened to all my worries and made me feel so much better having a sitter. Winston absolutely loved her :) I wil definitely be re booking with her for any of my needs.”
About: I have worked with and loved many animals throughout my life; gaining experience by working with rescues, shelters and non-profit organizations benefiting dogs, cats and horses in Iowa and Virginia. I have also worked in the pet care industry my whole life. I was a Pet Groomer for 10 years, have worked closely with trainers, supervised daycare & boarding, and have spent the last 3 years in Veterinary Medicine as a Veterinary Assistant. I currently share my home with 3 dogs and a cat. I often care for my parents' dogs; one of which is Diabetic & has recently gone blind. Helping her learn to enjoy walks again has been a great experience! I have experience in most aspects of pet care; dog sitting, boarding, basic First Aid, administering oral & injectable medications, grooming and training, and know that each pet needs a unique, gentle approach. First and foremost I believe in making your pet comfortable by sticking to their (and your) schedule as much as possible. By keeping feeding, walking & potty times the same, I can provide and calm and happy presence for your pet through a positive attitude and relaxed demeanor. I also enjoy providing enrichment for you pet through play, walks, games and treats. Pet care is my life! I am available most every day to help you keep your pets happy and healthy, and to help them thrive in their own, comfortable environment. From a walk around the block a couple times a week, to daily drop in visits while you're at work, and finally house sitting when you're on that special trip, I'm here to be that special friend your pet needs! Keeping your pet safe is my number one priority. From making sure doors and gates are securely shut, to triple checking medicine before it’s given and using an additional slip lead for walks and transport, nothing goes unnoticed!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cedar Falls. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Cedar Falls.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
