About: I have taken care of animals, in and outside of vet clinics, since I was 14 years old. I’ve cared for a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, chickens, and sheep. I’ve had many housesitting experiences outside of Rover and I’ve handled many responsibilities like monitoring and administering medications. My main goal is to keep the owner’s pets stress free and allow owners to leave their pets knowing they are being cared for. I am an Iowa state student. I have many days where I’m free or breaks in my schedule to allow me to check on animals or take them on walks. In the clients home I follow whatever works best for the owner and their pet. If that means crating when being left alone that is what I do. If that means taking them on walks at a certain time or not allowing them in certain rooms or on furniture I make sure to always follow the rules set by the owner.
“Erica was awesome! She was incredibly responsive and really took care of my cats while I was out of town. She uploaded photos each time, which was nice to see their fluffy faces. Thank you!”
“Jenna is amazing! Smudge is all over the place and loves attention. Her favorite past time is playing fetch with corks… when across country on business, Jenna plays with her for at least an hour and sends pics and updates. It’s comforting knowing Smudge is in great hands. If she’s low on food or litter, there is no hesitation to get her more. Smudge and I are great fans!”
About: I've owned and cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs my whole life! I have a soft spot in my heart for animals and promise to take the best care of your fur babies! I am a full-time teacher from 7-2:30, but outside of my hours I am very flexible! I am also flexible most weekends and have my own transportation. In my years of working with animals, I remain vigilant and caring of your animals, as I know I would want the same for my animals at home!
About: I have 2 dogs at home and have always grown up with dogs and cats. I have also provided care for senior dogs and puppies. I am currently a student taking minimal classes so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I would love to help fellow pet parents out. I live near a park where they have ample amount of room to play. I also have 2 friendly dogs who love to be around other dogs.
“Erika was great. My cats usually shy away from new people but they all came out to meet her. Will definitely use her again”
About: Hello! My name is Zoe. My family have always had a pup while growing up. Each member of my family has a furry member. Currently I am the proud owner of our family dog. She is 12 years old and a Chocolate Lab/Blue Heeler Mix. As well as a proud auntie to a German Shepard, Pit Bull, & Doberman Mix. I believe our pets aren't just pets, they are family. I have experience caring and loving for all animals. My love for being outside and going for walks, as well as how deeply I care for every animal, made me want to meet and care more furry friends! I am very excited to meet your furry member of the family! I do work full time, Monday-Friday second shift. I also have a pup of my own that I will prioritize. My time available is a bit limited but my weekends and mornings are free to spend walking and caring for your animals! I treat my pup just like I would a child and I will do the same for yours! Before caring for your furry family member 1-on-1, I would do a meet and greet so you and your pup feel safe and we can build trust with one another!
“Nia did an amazing job understanding the needs and caring for our diabetic senior cat! She provided great visit descriptions and photos! We highly recommend her for your pets' care!”
“Everything went so well, definitely will ask for Liliana’s services again!”
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 10. I now have 2 dogs and 3 cats who live in a house full of love, fun and affection. They are spoiled rotten and take up most of my bed. I am a middle school teacher looking to make some extra money for the classroom. Over summer and school breaks I have complete availability including weekends While my house is not fit for adding any more animals. I am always available to spend nights and hours in the home with fur babies, I love to cuddle with all the animals on the couch, play in the yard with them, take them on walks and help with feeding. I have three crazy cats who fight over food and have to be fed in 3 separate rooms so I am no stranger to all sorts of environments especially around food.
About: As a high school teacher, I’m off for the summers! I would love to help people with their pets while they’re taking those summer vacations. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up my entire life. I also dog sit for family and friends.I’m well-versed in caring for them. I’m a responsible and trustworthy person to care for your furry family members. I’m currently not working for the summer, so my hours are very flexible. I’m an empty nester, so no kids to currently take care of. Just my two fur babies. I will be very attentive and responsible with the specific instructions that are given to me. I know everyone follows different routines with their animals, as well as with their house. I’ll be mindful of how your household works when it comes to the care for your pets.
About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.
About: I have had dogs of all sizes throughout my entire life and feel comfortable around any breed. Comfortable with feedings, administering most medications and always down for some fetch. I work Tuesday after noon and then Wednesday-Saturday 11-7. So anything before that I’m available, I also have Sundays and Mondays off and will be available In the past I have stayed at the home of the pet I’m watching, that way they feel more comfortable. I follow the instructions left by the pet parent and always reach out if I have questions to make sure everything will be stress free for the pet.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in my home. And have always had a natural draw to them. Will gladly go above and beyond to provide them all the love and care while you're gone I currently have a couple part time endeavors and am able to create my own schedule, so am open to weekends and weekdays. Very flexible. I cater to all pets needs when in your home. Including walking, potty breaks, feeding, cleaning up after them, etc. Willing to get mail, and if there's any extras needed by the homeowner
