“Olivia does a great job. She's always quick to respond. Our cat threw up while we were gone and she asked if we wanted her to clean it. Kids love the pictures she uploads as it let's them know he's doing OK.”


“Dominque was fantastic. Was incredibly responsive and engaged from the first reach out. Came out before our trip to walk through everything and meet our cat. Was great about updates and making sure everything went smooth. So thankful we were able to get Dominque’s help.”


“Lori was on time and my pets loved her!! She was super friendly and even wanted hugs from my dog when she came to drop off the key because she said he gave her the best goodbye hug. I thought that was so sweet! He’s an old dog but so loving and he knows he’s so cute. Haha. Thank you Lori!! Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve always had pets growing up- especially larger dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover at heart and will treat your fur babies like my own! We pour into our three cats at home and strive to give them the best quality of life- they are our family after all. I know I’m newer to rover, so it’ll take time and reviews to build your trust. Let me prove to you the love I have for animals and the quality care I’ll provide :) My schedule is very flexible as I stay at home with our toddler! Just let me know what you need and I can accommodate! Daytime is better, but I’m open to evenings as well! Weekends are open :) In our home, we treat our 3 cats with unconditional love. We recently had one of our first cats pass away due to CHF. It was very trying decision to come to, but ultimately decided it was best to not let him suffer, no matter how much our hearts would break. Since then, we’ve tried implementing extra vitamins, better quality food, more play time, etc. into our other cats lives to hopefully combat any future health issues with them. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your fur babies with as much love and care as my own.

“Abigail did such a great job with our hyper boy! Loved the pics and updates. She’s always right on time is very dependable. We’ll definitely be reaching out for more visits!”


“Elliana was amazing! She took the time to come meet with us and our cat, Luci, before we went out of town. Every day during her drop by visits we got updates with photos! Definitely recommend!!”


“Katie was fabulous with our doggo! She provided in home visits 3 times in one day and we appreciated the updates and pics throughout the day. 😃 We will definitely be calling on Katie again!”


About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!

About: I’m very attentive to details and love all fur babies. I believe in keeping animals on regular schedules for feeding and exercise. Your dog will be well loved and cared for at my house! I live on a farm with equines, so my schedule is built around their feeding and exercise, which means that I’m home most of the time. My dog (and yours) is inside the house, except when outside in the fenced area or on a leash while on a walk around our property each evening. Millie is our very active senior dog who is less than 20 pounds. She lost her older buddy a few years ago and would love a friend to hang out with. We have a very large fenced yard for them to play in, but they will be inside unless they want to play outside.

About: We are a family who has had a dog for several years. We live an active life style so we are willing to include your dog in all of our walks and outings. We provide a intentional and personal experience with the dogs and love getting to know their owners! We also have a small poochon of our own so your pet will have a friend! One of us is home during the day so we will be able to tend to your pets needs! We have a pet of our own and will make sure to include your pet as well! We have a small baby so we are home often at night! We care for the pets in our home by inviting them to play, take a walk or sleep with us if that is what they need! They will get all the cuddles and play as our 16 month old loves pets!

“Kaley has been awesome!! She is always prompt and efficient with communication, not to mention on two short notice occasions(hour notice) she was more than willing to help out. Had a great attitude and she has given great updates. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”



About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since day one—dogs, cats, you name it—so caring for pets is basically in my DNA. I started pet sitting and babysitting for neighbors when I was younger, and I’ve loved it ever since. I know how much pets mean to their people, and I treat every furball like they’re part of my own pack! As a stay-at-home mom with all my kids in school, I have lots of free time during the weekdays! I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings—perfect for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet! I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines to favorite toys—and I keep your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a young child, but have been doing so professionally for 10 years. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a full time vet tech and have been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. So I am uniquely qualified to administer all kinds of medications, including oral, transdermal, and injectable, as well as subcutaneous fluids. I am also a certified dog trainer so I am able to train puppies (and dogs of all ages) and keep up with their current training while you're away. I currently work full time, so I have limited daytime availability. I am off on Thursdays and Sundays as well as most Saturdays, but otherwise can only provide midday drop ins if they are within a short drive from my job in Waukee. I will follow your instructions meticulously and treat your pets as I do my own. I believe it is important to keep as close to a normal routine as possible to make sure the pets are comfortable with their pet sitter while their owners are away. I provide daily text check ins with pet parents as well as pictures of your beloved pet.

“Hayley looked after my two cats while I was away, and I was very pleased with the care she provided. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly experienced with cats. Both of mine can be a bit shy around new people, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. She kept everything tidy, followed feeding instructions carefully, and even took the time to play with them and send me a few updates. It was reassuring to know they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful cat sitter.”
