Top rated Cedar Rapids cat sitters
“Jena is amazing! I’ve had her check in on my kitty daily while I’m on vacation twice now and she’s been amazing both times. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my cat is taken care of, but also that my house is taken care of (taking out the trash, offering to shovel my driveway when it snowed, watering my plant). Super amazing, kind, genuine person and I will definitely use her again!”
“Erik did a great job doing drop-ins for our cat! He communicated regularly with us and was very easy to work with & there were zero issues. :) I'd recommend him!”
“We have had Trisha pet sit for us multiple times now, and we can’t recommend her enough! Her communication is great, she is amazing with the animals, and I trust my home and pets with her completly.”
“This was our second time using them to watch our animals, they just watched our cats this time & they did a great job! They regularly kept us up to date with pictures & took the time to give them some lovings & play time on top of keeping the litter boxes clean & feeding them. They're definitely one of our regulars now that we'll always trust with our babies!”
“Brie is a very experienced, conscientious and mindful pet sitter. Brie stayed in our home while we were away. She left our home and pets in tip-top shape. She had our pets' needs as her priority. One of our cats starting showing signs of diabetes a couple weeks before our trip that we were monitoring to reoprt back to the vet, but she was able to pinpoint other signs we weren't aware of so we really appreciated the extra medical attention. Brie also sent photos every day of our pets so we were assured of their comfort and happiness. That little extra goes a long way when you are out of town. This fall we have a longer trip planned, and we will absolutely book Brie again. She is Top-Notch!!”
“Amanda took great care of our little old man, Oscar! We’re so grateful that she cleaned up after him and made sure he got his daily probiotic. We would absolutely recommend her for cat sitting.”
“Amanda had good communication letting me know how my cats were doing, took pictures of the cats, and let me know if any changes to her schedule. One of my cats needs oral medication and she did a great job finding the cat and giving her the meds (not an easy task to actually find the cat). I would hire Amanda in the future and highly recommend!”
“Landon was wonderful with our cats! On his first visit, he went out of his way to spend extra time with them and made sure they were well cared for. He cleaned the litter box daily and was even kind enough to take out the trash. We’ll definitely be using Landon again!”
“Jeanette was a joy to work with! This was our first time using rover as we just got our cat Gus in January 2024. Jeanette was very responsive throughout the whole process. Every time we reached out she got back within the hour. Before we left for our trip she came over for a meet and greet to meet our cat and go through everything she needed to know and we got constant updates while we were gone. We will defiantly be reaching out in the future when we need a sitter again.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Nora. We have three dogs, so it’s quite a bit of juggling! We totally appreciate all the help she has done with feeding, letting out, and pills. We will use her again!”
“100% recommend Jessica and her husband! They were very flexible and reliable. They gave us detailed reports with pictures. Our pets loved them and their care was unmatched. We definitely will be using Jessica again.”
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 currently unemployed so I have all the time in the day or night for whatever your pet needs! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s constant attention & playing for 2 hours, or even the ones who prefer to have their own space & only need check ins. 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 or walks 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 always had a sweet spot for dogs! I used to want to be a veterinarian until i learned how long the schooling was. Ived worked as a vet tech along as being a professional pet groomer currently! i currently work 5 days a week until 430, i am looking to get that changed to 4 days a week and weekends are open! Unfortunately i’m not able to have pups in my home due to my special needs dalmatian, but i will gladly come to your home and spend time at your home and care for them as needed!
About: Ever since I was young I have been surrounded by animals and have always found a connection with them. I have watched and cared for pets owned by friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care and entertain your furry friends! I work 2-10pm some days, but message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am flexible and can accommodate accordingly. I prefer to take care of animals in the comfort of their own home. I am very respectful and a trusted individual so your animals and space are safe with me.
About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!

Evie also notices when they have had something that needs additional attention, such as scratching their ear too much or finding a tick. She has caught and taken care of many of these situations. You can assure yourself your pets will be well cared for!!”
