“Nelson came over to house sit my cat who had never been alone before. I was very nervous about how my cat would handle being on their own, but Nelson watched him like his own and did a tremendous job. He stayed for a extended amount of time and made sure all my cats needs were met!”
“Kayla took great care of my two cats and solved little issues that came up along the way with the litterbox. My cats seemed very happy and content when I came home - we would gladly have Kayla back again in the future!”
“Meredith was wonderful! My cats hid from my previous Rover cat sitter, but within a couple of days my Boulder cat was sitting on Meredith’s lap, and my Shire cat came out too. Highly recommended!”
“Jason did a wonderful job taking care of our little man. He was very reliable and a great communicator! We felt completely at ease knowing Bean was in such capable hands.”
About: I have owned dogs since I was born. I have taken care of energetic crazy ones that have big bursts of energy in some that just like to lay around I like to walk dogs, hang out with them and get to know their personalities. I’m going to be a senior at the University of Iowa I have a part-time job. I have a pretty flexible schedule besides my class times. I’m free almost every afternoon and early in the morning. At home, I like to make sure my pets always have water since dehydration is very common in pets. I like to make sure they have plenty of toys to exercise their mind and I like to give them a treat once in a while when they’re being nice or sweet.
“Sarah was an awesome cat sitter! She takes great pictures and it looks like Cedar appreciated her being there while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again 😄”
About: I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens, cats, birds and fish for my family and for friends. I also have a Persian senior cat at home :) I am looking for check ins, I can feed, walk, play, etc. and clean up after animals. I don’t mind multiple animals at one time. I go on long walks every day now and need a partner! I love older animals as well as babies. I have come to raise kittens and puppies and help teach potty training and good manners. Tricks too.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for German Shepherds, Boston Terriers, Greyhounds, and more. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful pups to calm seniors. Whether your dog needs energetic play, medication, or just loving companionship, I’m patient, reliable, and dedicated to making tails wag. Your pup’s happiness and safety are my top priorities! I’m an early riser with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I’m organized and reliable, always ensuring your furry friends get the attention and care they deserve—on time and with love! I provide attentive, loving care for your pets right in the comfort of their own home. This helps reduce their stress and keeps their routine consistent while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just companionship, I treat your pets like family and keep their space clean and safe. I’m committed to making both you and your pets feel relaxed and happy during my visits.
About: I was raised in a home with lots of animals, dogs, cats and fish. My grandparents raised rabbits and birds. I was around pets domestic and exotic and love all creatures. My first job was pet sitting, my second was in a horse stable. I've had animals in my care my whole life. My day job is caring for humans as a nurse, I would love to say hi to your good boys and girls! I do work 4 days a week and so my schedule will be open around those hours. I don't mind waking up early, or staying up a little late. My noon hour availability is on my days off. Our dogs are herding breed and very active, so I am used to playing all of the games. I like to use positive reinforcement with all animals. I will treat your home with respect just like I do my own.
About: I’m Jake, and I’m grateful you’d consider letting me spend some time with your pet! I’m a Master of Social Work student, hoping to get in some animal time and make some extra cash. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, so I’ve spent years working at a pet shop, volunteering at the zoo, shadowing vets, and working at animal hospitals, where my sole role was walking, feeding, cleaning up after, etc. animals and people’s pets! Before college, I also owned fish, snakes, parrots, a sugar glider, a rat, and probably something else! My family now has a wonderful yellow lab named Toby. I’m comfortable and have had experience around animals of all sorts—especially dogs of all temperaments—and look forward to providing your pets the most loving care. I’m also a runner and would love to take your dog for a jog if you’d like them to move a little extra energy! I’m usually available for sittings during the week, but weekends may vary. This semester, I have internship from 7:00-2:30 MWF, and I have class on Tuesday. So, sittings where pets can be left alone for about 7 hours would be best for me! Typically, I can only plan for sittings that are no longer than one or two weeks, but feel free to reach out to me to so we can work something out. I’m happy to work with you to determine when a service would work best for you! I believe that trust is of utmost importance in pet care. Having had a number of pets throughout my life, I understand the need for trusted providers of pet care. Therefore, I will carefully follow any instructions you leave me, prioritizing safety at all times. I will use my experience of working with animals to provide the best care possible, focusing on the unique needs of your pet. I intend to communicate clearly and promptly with you throughout caring for your pet. Lastly, know that I bring much gratitude to your letting me care for your pet! It’s a privilege to care for your furry family members.

I would recommend her to anyone looking to find someone to care for their pets!”

“Jake takes the best care of my furry baby. My pomeranian Iphigenia is a bit of a diva and doesn’t take to just anyone, but something about Jake’s care and patience just calms her anxiety—sometimes I think she might like when he sits more than when I’m home!”

I can’t recommend Riley enough! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away, making sure they were well-fed, entertained, and loved. I appreciated the updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear my cat was happy and comfortable in their care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring, Riley is the best choice!
Patti took fantastic care or our two cats while we were away- super personable, excellent knowledge about cat care, and very professional. Our cats were comfortable with her on the first visit- she has great animal rapport! She really put us at ease, and made our trip guilt and worry free. Even thought of things we didn’t. Highly, highly recommend!
