About: I played football at UNI and I can take care of any type of dog. I grew up with Bullmastiffs and Shihtzus and I am ready to take care of any dog you have. I have two in person classes on M W F only from 11-2. Other than that I am free looking to help others out. Besides that I am just working on homework and working out myself in the mornings. I live in a house on the cedar river with plenty of trails. I have a large unused dog cage in my basement as well.
About: I have lived with animals and taken care of them all of my life. As an adolescent, I had several dogs (sizes ranging from a chihuahua to a saint bernard mix) that I would frequently take on walks, clean up after, feed, play with, and overall care for. I also worked with a service dog trainer for about a year to train a dog I had in the past since she was three months old. I will be going to college in August, but until then I am completely free to watch, walk, or visit any furbabies at any time for as long as needed! (Starting May 25th, as I do not move to Cedar Falls until then) My cat is rather spoiled with hundreds of toys, constant access to food, and lots and lots of love. I understand the importance of socializing your animals to new people and other animals, and take it very seriously, hence why he is an absolute cuddlebug for everyone that meets him! I would make sure to give the same amount of care and attention to your pets. Spending as much time as they need to socialize, play, and relax, as every pet is different and has different needs!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and what I can do for you and your furry friend. M-F after 3pm and weekends any time. There is some wiggle room and some times where I’ve got my own dog to look out for. We can always work it out! I’ve got a large home with a large fenced in backyard. My partner and I both love dogs, and we have one as well. We’ve got lots of treats(allergies friendly) and toys to play with.

“Maxie is great! She communicated well and let us know what was going on every visit. Very sweet and upbeat gal who lives animals. Our pups lived her. She is must have for your pets.:)”
About: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I took care of them since I was 12. I regularly fed, walked, played with, washed, and brushed our dogs. I have trained our two previous dogs with simple commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and come. I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for pets! Weekdays typically work better for me as I tend to travel on the weekends. I have always believed that every animal deserves all the love in the world, and I follow that in my every day life. I’m comfortable in almost any situation regarding animals, and have plenty of experience with crates and other measures to keep our furry friends from wreaking havoc within the house.
About: Hi! I am Jamie Althiser and I currently am in Physician Assistant school doing my clinical rotations. I went to undergrad at the University of Northern Iowa and am in Cedar Falls on the weekends and some weekdays. I have a cat named finny and a 6 month old golden retriever pup named Teo :) I grew up with a lab and German Shepard in my house. For 2 years I volunteered at the cedar bend humane society in cedar falls. I love cats and dogs and would love to care for any in need :) Special abilities: I taught my cat how to play fetch with a mouse 😺 I have my weekends open and evenings during the work week. You can always reach out to see when I am available any given week. I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever pup who gets along with every dog to keep your pup company! We will be inside and outside but the pups are never outside alone.
About: I’ve had experience with many different breeds of dogs ranging from chihuahuas all the way up to Great Danes. No matter the size or breed of dog, I will treat that dog as if it were my own. I’m currently working part time until I go back to school next semester, so I’ll have many opportunities throughout the week to walk or watch dogs. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know that a safe and fun environment is a very important factor for our fur babies when they’re being watched.
About: Good pups are a huge portion of my life. I was raised around animals and cared for others pets while living with family and independently and all of my free time is spent caring for my six pets: Spencer the fish, Yato & Yuki kitties, Tilly & Deku pups, and Peter the rabbit. So anytime to care is a good time to call. I am a full-time healthcare worker at Shell Rock Senior Living that loves to be active and to have an interactive lifestyle. I would be available during most morning and afternoon hours to provide any pet care you would need. We have a decent and clean home and yard in the Cedar Valley that we share in a lovely neighborhood that has welcomed us and our fur babies. We go on walks and play outside with our two dogs and pet rabbit Peter. We also are lucky enough to share our pets with the residents at Shell Rock and take them in quite often. Any pet is welcome with us!
About: I absolutely adore all animals. I have one cat, two guinea pigs, and three dogs. I love seeing the different personalities each pet has. I have some experience training both dogs and cats, but ultimately I love the attention and joy they all can bring. I work full time but can stop for walks or visits on my lunches or before or after work. I really enjoy walking, and it's definitely better with a furry friend or two (or more if needed!) My dogs get full reign of the house, except for the puppy, so I'm used to the occasional messes or the kenneling process. I've house sat multiple time so I am good with acclimating to your wishes in your household.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dunkerton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dunkerton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Dunkerton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
