“We have a very sensitive dog that doesn't warm easily or quickly to new people, but I gotta say; Riley has been great with our Rose. Riley is patient and talks to Rose to get her comfortable. With our Rose being how she is, it is a repeat over and over for Riley to work with Rose to keep getting Rose more comfortable and Riley keeps her patience. Thank you Riley for working with our Rose, Pumpkin, and Chancey!”

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.
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’ve grown up with dogs and cats in the household. My priority is care and love for your furry friends! When I see dogs in public, I want to pet them all day :) Currently working part-time as well as attending college. I live in a dorm—no pets allowed. Classes are from ~12PM until ~4PM and work evening/nights. Nights I am not working my schedule is wide open. I like to gain a sense of trust at first between me and dogs(holding my hand out to sniff, pets if warranted, etc); Steer away from other dogs in public if mine gets aggressive; always conscious of surroundings; Dogs brighten my day every time I see one!
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs since I was young, All sizes from larger breeds to little dachshunds. I absolutely love it and it’d be amazing if I could make my love for dogs a career. My schedule is wide open—I’m available to walk your pup almost anytime! Flexible, reliable, and ready when you need me. Let’s get those tails wagging! I am willing to care for your furry friend in your home. If you have any details about your fur-baby you need to add, any special medications, etc. Always let me know.

Grace O.
“Grace has watched my pets several times, and has taken great care of them. She pays attention to all the details, like making sure they are eating ok, and acting themselves. She is attentive to making sure feeding times and let out times are consistent and gives them the individual time they each require daily. They never miss me when I leave them with her.”
