“Kelley was nothing short of amazing! She handled everything perfectly and was consistent and on time. It was a great feeling to know that my fur babies were being well taken care of. If you want someone that pays attention, is on time and great with animals.. call Kelley!”
“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to watch our cat on very short notice and accommodated us so quickly and kindly. From the start, she was thoughtful, prompt, and followed all of our directions perfectly. This was our first time leaving our little fur baby, and Allyson immediately put us at ease. She truly is a cat whisperer. Our cat is usually shy and hides from new people, but he came out right away when she arrived for her drop ins! That alone says so much about her calm, welcoming presence. She made our cat feel completely comfortable. Allyson also sent us daily updates with multiple pictures, which we really appreciated. She was a joy to work with, and we will definitely ask her to pet sit again in the future!”
“Izabelle did a great job with Louie. She was timely & caring & made this dog mom comfortable with leaving him for the first time. Would definitely contact her again if the need arises.”
“Emily was a great pet sitter. Our meet and greet was very pleasant and I felt that she asked important questions that we hadn't thought of mentioning. She was great with our animals, she played well with them and took wonderful pictures. I would definitely recommend her and hope to be able to have her watch our fur babies again”
“Alexandra was excellent! She provided thorough updates for every drop in visit, and went above and beyond when we had questions or concerns. Would recommend to anyone in need of pet care! ❤️”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, and I have experience with dogs of all sizes and kinds, ranging from Pomeranian to Great Pyrenees. I currently have a cat of my own, and grew up taking care of cats of all ages. In college, I volunteered at a humane society where I worked on socializing cats and walking dogs, on leash of course, prior to adoption. There, I also learned how to prevent the spread of infection, both in a kennel and from home to home. I also have experience taking care of fish and poultry, doing water changes and chemical balancing, if needed. I'm currently a graduate student at ISU, so my schedule is very flexible to fit any schedule you require, including midday walks and drop-in visits. I am very detail oriented and will ensure the best care for your pet. My attention to detail ensures that any emergencies will be taken care of promptly, and your pet will get the most ideal care for them.
About: I know how energetic dogs are, and I am as well so we’re a perfect match! I can keep them entertained while they are also making my day so much brighter! I am a full time student but classes do not take up much of my day! I love to go on long walks and I can entertain any dog for hours. I can do late afternoons and mornings, as well as nights if need be. I have 2 dogs at home, but here at college I do not have any pets. My apartment does allow pets so it would be no problem to have them over:) I also have the option of a fenced in yard if your little pup prefers to run around freely.
“Erin is AMAZING! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate. She was way beyond anything we could have expected! Such detailed reports and pictures and even stayed longer in some cases. The care she has for animals is evident, you’ll feel confident putting your pets in Erin’s care.”
“Sydney was amazing! We had never used a Rover to come and care for our dog so we were a bit nervous that she would be skittish around strangers. But Sydney provided great updates and our dog loved her and was well taken care of. Would definitely use Sydney again!”
About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I grew up taking care of mostly dogs, but I have experience with other animals like cats, goats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I love meeting new animals and helping care for them. I am currently a student at Iowa state but am available all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and weekends. I’m available in the afternoon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I cannot provide boarding because of the pets I have at home, but I can visit pets or stay overnight with them at their homes. I’ve stayed in ankeny overnight a few times but prefer to stay in Ames due to my classes being in the morning.
About: I’ve been dog walking and sitting for both relatives and family friends since I was maybe 5 or 6. I grew up in a big dog family and have always had a passion for animals. I’m starting school this fall at Iowa State University, and I plan to major in Animal Biology so I can get myself started on the pre-veterinary track. To get some extra hands-on experience, I want to “officially” get some pet-sitting under my belt through Rover. I have also recently started volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter and I love the exposure that I’m getting! Apart from starting college in late August, I am currently unemployed and am looking for one (or more!) part-time job(s) to add some more structure to my summer :) From there, I’ll probably stay active on Rover, but my availability might become a little less flexible. I have two cats and one dog (all girls and all spayed!) that know how to behave with guests. Our dog loves to make friends and is very sociable. I’m perfectly fine visiting or staying overnight for your pets, and they will always be welcome at my house. I can adjust based on whatever your preferences are!
“Ashley was wonderful! She was able to take care of our pups on short notice and sent tons of pictures! Our dogs loved her and she took great care and played lots of fetch! I absolutely recommend her and will be using her again!”

Zoe F.
“I lived with Zoe shortly after she rescued her cat, she is an amazing care taker for him. She slowly let him warm up to her and the people we lived with, not forcing him to be around others. She always called out people when they were making him uncomfortable and didn’t allow inappropriate interactions. One of our roommates had a cat that they did not take good care of and Zoe would often check in to make sure she was being fed and taken care of. Even allowing the cat to use her litter box and clean up after her when it wasn’t required. Zoe cares deeply about pets and is very responsible in every way. I would trust her to take care of any of my pets without question.”
Kindra D.
“I highly recommend Kindra for a position with Rover.com. They are incredibly responsible, caring, and great with all types of pets. Kindra has a natural way with animals and is someone you can fully trust to provide safe, loving care. Any pet would be lucky to have them!”
