“Landon did great with our two dogs! He responded really quickly to my request and went above and beyond for our pups. We received photos and an update on who went potty, etc. Will be booking again 😊”


About: Hi! I’d greatly appreciate the honor of welcoming your best friend into my home, or caring for them at yours! You will receive frequent updates as much as you like. I've been a dog dad for over 30 years and know how important your fur baby is to you. I have experience with all different breeds, ages and levels of health. My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own. I work full-time from home, same employer for over 20 years. I am available all seven days/nights for whatever attention your dog needs or wants, and any potty schedule your dog is accustomed to. I require little to 0 notice for bookings or cancellations, and able to travel as far as needed (within reason). My house is on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. The back yard is secure and completely fenced, very enjoyable space for your dog to play in. Dogs are welcomed on all furniture. Home is smoke-free. I can also travel to the client's home for all necessary dog sitting/walking services.

“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.”


About: I've had dogs most of my life, growing up I had a mutt named Spot, then a Shih-tzu named Patches, while living with my sister I got experience with larger breeds as she had three bully/rottweiler mixes, and currently I live with an Akita Inu service dog that I care for. I am currently a live in caregiver for a disabled friend of mine and when I'm not taking care of him my schedule is very open for things like walks, check-ins, and brief housesitting. I treat all animals with the same care and respect I would want shown to my own pets. Their care and comfort are my top priorities, making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared after.

“Anneli was amazing! She sent me super cute updates and lots of pictures of my two cats. I missed them a bunch when I was gone so it was so nice to see that they warmed up to her immediately and were having fun!”


“Heidi went above and beyond while we were out of town. The communication was great. We received daily updates with photos and any concerns. I definitely recommend her to care for your pet(s)!!”


“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”


About: A happy pet is a happy house! They are the mainstay of our homes and caring for them gives me so much joy! I care for multiple dogs and cats as my friends and family need! I have a lot of experience with feeding, walking, playing, bathing etc.I have been in pet care for over 20 years and taken care of many pets with a variety of needs. I understand pets have their own unique personalities and need different care/attention to make them be there best! I would love to be able to care for your pet and I will gladly help give them what they need to be happy and healthy while you’re away I work full time at a tennis facility but my hours make sure that pups get morning and afternoon walks just fine! (Plus tennis balls!) I am more than willing to care for and accommodate basic pet needs as well as more complicated ones. I prefer care be written down somewhere for later reference if needed. Water will always be full and available and anything that may cause harm to your pet (wires, small or sharp objects, etc) will be out of reach or inaccessible to your pet through height/doors/secured areas.

“Mia is very friendly and responded very quickly to my messages, we had some last minute things and she was able to help us out. She obviously loves dogs too! And my dogs love her! I would highly recommend Mia!”


“Ashley did two drop in visits with my pup when I was visiting Cedar Rapids for work. She was on time for the appointments and spent the full 30 minutes with him. I will use her again the next time I’m in town”


“Ashleigh is an absolute delight! I Invited her into my home and put her in charge of Missy's care with all the confidence that Ashleigh will take great care of both. She is positive, delightful, caring, kind and considerate. I trust her with my most precious things! Thank you, Ashleigh.”


About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was very young. Later in life, neighbors and professors would ask me to dog sit or dog walk when they were unable to do so. Taking care of dogs is something I enjoy and would like to do more often. I am currently working on Mondays through Thursdays at 11-8:30 but I will always be able to work around it to spend time with my furry friends. At the moment me and my family are housing a puppy that is a year old. We have a fenced in yard for her to run around and she eats well crafted food to keep her energy and health up.

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 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!

Isabella C.
“Sybella has cared for my labs on many occasions. My dogs LOVE her, and maybe are happy I have to be gone so they can have fun with Sybella instead of me! To say Sybella is a dog person is to underestimate her. I have known her for over 12 years and my dogs (and the dogs in our neighborhood) are always wagging their tails and wanting to get petted and loved by her. Sybella is responsible and friendly; your pet will be in great hands with her as a caregiver.”

Makayle B.
“Makayle is a caring pet owner- she always does the most for her own dog, and has a love and passion for them. From searching for the best care for her own dog to always making sure they are well cared for she is always thinking of her dog first.”
