“Destiny did a wonderful job looking after my Rudy. She was kind and attentive and adapted well to his temperament and minor shenanigans. Very responsible and provided excellent narratives in her daily reports along with great pictures so I was confident he was all right while I was away. Would highly recommend her!”
“Brooke was great! She sent me picture updates of my fur babies, cared for them in a way they each needed, and left my kitchen looking so much better than it was which was a big plus! Highly recommend!”
“Meranda did an awesome job with my cat! She left thoughtful messages every day about how he was doing and what they did together. She gave him lots of attention and even indulged him speaking with her through buttons!”
“Anna is a professional, a great communicator and clearly knows what she’s doing. She has a great attitude, good judgment, and is someone you can trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: My house runs on cat hair and Alaskan Klee Kai energy — Annie, Mr. Darcy, and Benni keep me well-trained. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting. I'll follow your routine or adapt to your pet's needs. Adept at medication administration, including injections. You'll hear from me — photos, texts, video updates, FaceTime if you just need to see their face. I'm easy to reach and big on communication. My cancellation policy is as flexible as possible, because schedules change and I understand that. Available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. All breeds, all sizes, all personalities welcome. Your pet's in good hands — Benni can vouch. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine, not an afterthought. I'm consistently available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. When I'm with your pet, I'm actually present. My time is theirs; they're the point. Spending time with your pets is a privilege. Your home is your pet's comfort zone. I stick to what works for them — their space, their schedule, their quirks. I'm a careful observer, so if something seems off behaviorally or physically, I'll flag it rather than wait and see. I'm attentive to behavioral changes or anything that seems off, and I'm comfortable managing medications, including injections, so pets with medical needs are always welcome. The goal is simple: your pet feels safe, and so do you.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn and I have 20+ years of experience caring for pets! I’ve helped family, neighbors and friends with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. My experience has provided insight into how to comfortably care for most pets! I have a flexible work schedule to fit the unique needs of your pet, including walks over the lunch hour or care over the weekend. I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood with very walkable sidewalks. I’m getting familiar with the dog parks in the area and am always looking for a recommendation!
“Brittany was so amazing!! Truly went above and beyond at each visit and even took my buddy on an emergency trip to the vet after getting into some trouble without any hesitation. Brittany was the best sitter Cannoli has had thus far and I plan to consider her as my first choice for future trips.”
About: I am comfortable with all dog breeds and temperaments, including high-energy breeds such as German Shepherds. I have had senior and medically complex dogs, and currently work in the medical field so I am comfortable with medical care. I enjoy training and playing with pups, and would be so excited to meet yours! I work full-time during the week, but can adjust my schedule to let pets out every 8 hours. I am happy to do walks before or after work, and can dedicate more time on the weekends. I am available for pet sitting any night. I will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable in the way that works for them - are they clingy? Need a little space and time to get comfortable? Treat motivated or praise motivated? I will always be respectful of your pet and your space and ask you what that means to you!
“Kirsten was able to drop in twice with a short notice for my two pups. She sent fun pictures and updates while she was checking on them. She was super quick to respond and we will definitely request her again!”
“Kristine was wonderful! My cats were very comfortable with her, my shy older girl let her give pets and did not hide the entire time. I appreciate her having availability over a holiday weekend so much! I will keep her in mind for future needs for sure!”
“Lily is very dependable & does a great job with my two dogs! It’s so helpful to have someone to let them out while I’m at work & they both look so happy in the pictures she sends.”
About: I have two cats who I love more than anything! My family has always had dogs since I was a kid, and I can’t wait to have one of my own someday :) Until then, I’d love to hang out with yours! I’ve been cat-sitting since I was in college, and I have experience caring for chinchillas, freshwater/saltwater fish, and aquatic invertebrates. Some pets need a little extra attention, and depending on the day, I might be able to stick around for a while if you don’t mind me working on my laptop at your kitchen table! Always happy to take a high-energy dog on a quick run or let them sniff the backyard to their heart’s content. I understand how important it is to feel like your loved ones are in good hands, and I’m passionate about showing your pets the care and kindness they deserve when you’re away! I have a hybrid work schedule and, depending on the day, can stay with your pets for a little while if they need some extra attention and you don’t have a problem with me working remote at your place. I can generally stop in once a day, but if you need something more involved (caring for pets while you’re on vacation, etc.), I’m happy to talk and see if we can work something out. I am very familiar with what foods, plants, and household items are dangerous for cats and dogs, and I will always be looking out for their safety at home and on the go. I’ll follow your pet’s weird little rituals, talk to them like a friend, and give them whatever kind of attention they need.
About: I've had pets my entire life and 16+ years caring for animals, both my own and others. I'm comfortable with routines to more involved care, medications (including insulin) and senior pet care. I love getting to know each pet's quirks, routines, and boundaries. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've been actively involved with in-home training and understand the importance of consistency and trust! I've cared for all kinds of animals... scales, feathers, shells, or something a little more unconventional, so I'm happy to care for those critters too. Your pet(s) will be safe, respected, and thoroughly cared for. I'll provide updates for peace of mind while you're away, and you'll come home to a happy animal treated like one of my own! I’m a lifelong animal lover (and currently proud pet parent) with a degree in Psychology and background in healthcare, so I bring a high level of detail and care to every pet I visit. I work a remote 8:30am–5pm schedule Monday to Saturday (excluding Thursdays, my day off). Because I work from home, my evenings and Sundays are entirely dedicated to play, walks, scritches, and feeding routines! While I’m not currently available for 24hr live-in care, I’m the perfect match for owners looking for reliable AM/PM check-ins/walks, evening companionship, or overnight stays. I believe every pet deserves a space where they feel safe, seen, and completely adored! My goal is to keep their routine steady and their spirits high while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic evening walk or a quiet dinner-time visit, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of love to give. -- A Note on My Home vs. Yours -- To keep things peaceful for my own two cats, I don’t host other furry friends in my own house. This actually works out great because it means when I’m with your pet in their familiar environment, they have my undivided attention! I’m all about creating a calm, happy experience for them right where they feel most comfortable. (P.S. If you have a reptile like a lizard or a snake, I’m open to discussing a special scenario for hosting them since they won't ruffle any feline feathers.)
Coralville pet parents share their Rover experiences
I asked Brianna to feed my two cats and give them some love & attention when I had to head out of town last-minute and she did an amazing job! I sent her detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly with no hiccups. She sent me great photos and spent time playing with both cats. When I got home both cats were calm and happy. I would definitely book with Brianna again.
Destiny was awesome watching our 3 cats while we were away. This was our first time using the Rover app and Destiny was perfect. She provided pictures and a short description after each visit giving us updates and piece of mind that our cats were safe while we were away.
I am very very happy with my experience with Asha. I had a wonderful week long trip planned, but was worried about leaving my dogs at home. Not only did the photos with each drop in assure me that my dogs were doing great - Asha’s reports showed me that she understood my dogs and that they were in good hands. This is important because one of my dogs is very slow to trust people and has caused problems with other sitters (like refusing to come inside at all while I was gone). Asha provided great care and her updates helped me relax and enjoy my trip so much more.
Brittany was so amazing!! Truly went above and beyond at each visit and even took my buddy on an emergency trip to the vet after getting into some trouble without any hesitation. Brittany was the best sitter Cannoli has had thus far and I plan to consider her as my first choice for future trips.
I highly recommend Elizabeth! She has cared for our greyhounds a few times now and does a great job. She sends lots of pictures and keeps us in the loop about things - we love that. She's been flexible and able to provide care when needed. We will absolutely hire her again!!
