Skye was great! She came to her house on her own time for a meet and greet. She was so kind to our little puppy and sent us frequent updates and pics. We would highly recommend her and definitely will ask her again.

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

Sam went above and beyond for Hazel, my high-anxiety dog. I received so many great pics and check-ins and knew she was well-cared for, and tired when I got back. I can't recommend her enough!

Yasmin took excellent care of my dog during a week-long trip and I would definitely book with her again! Ranger gets anxious sometimes, especially when his routine is disrupted, but he seemed happy and content in all of the picture/video updates (and I appreciated her sending those regularly). Thank you for keeping my best friend happy and healthy while we were gone, Yasmin!

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

Allison recently stayed with Maisie again for 4 days. I say “again” because we are repeat customers of Allison’s. she is such a great dog/housesitter. I know I can travel without worrying about Maisie’s care and without the hassle of taking Maisie someplace else. And the condo is spotless when I return. Thank you Allison!

Nothing but AMAZING things to say about Mackenzie and Anthony who took the time to watch our sweet boy Tiger! We were new to the Rover app and had some anxiety, but Anthony provided updates with photos and videos throughout the entire day! We are so so thankful! Anthony went above and beyond!

About: I love dogs of all sizes and all ages!! I would love to care for your dogs when I am available. I have helped care for dogs outside of Rover for many years and have had a dog my whole life. I work from home so I have lots of availability! I do have children so sometimes that limits my availability if they cannot come with me. I can take your dogs for walks or let them out in fenced in areas! I am pretty easy going so will follow any specific instructions.

About: I have dog sat my friend’s dog, her aunt’s dog, and my sister’s dog. Dog sizes range from small to large. I love taking dogs for walks. I also love snuggles just as much. :) I would be available Thursday night after 5:30 to Sunday evenings. I currently work all day Monday, Tuesday/Thursday afternoons (12:30-5:30), and Wednesday mornings (7-12). I am off on Fridays. I live in a secure condominium. The front and side doors are both locked on the building at all times. Only homeowners have keys. I have stayed in other people’s houses as well. I always make sure to leave the house looking clean when I’m done dog sitting. That way you don’t have to worry about cleaning up after me upon returning home.

We love Jess! We have three dogs a 11 year old pug who is having issues getting around, 7 year old Pug who is a rescue and a 6 yr old chihuahua mix who is also a rescue both with some separation issues. It was such a relief to know they could all stay in our home while we were out out town. Jess was wonderful, we got pictures and update from her daily and the dogs were so well taken care of. We look forward to using her again!

Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.

About: hello! I just moved to Iowa and am a stay at home mom. I take my baby on walks once or twice a day, and wouldn't mind having a pup to accompany us! Since I'm new to the area, I am learning the routes of the walking trails and enjoying it so much. My baby is 8 months old, so I am still nursing but other than her feedings, my availability is pretty open and flexible. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup or kitty! I am a stay at home mom, and my baby is an early riser. We love getting out in the nice breeze mornings before it's too warm but we also love a sunny afternoon walk! I have a cat that is friendly with larger dogs. He is very playful but does not use his claws much. If needed, he can be separated from other animals.
