“Alisa wa able to get my shy kitty to come out and play. I had a friend come in the mornings and she said Rosie would come sniff her food the retreat to the bedroom. Next time I will use Alisa for all visits, she is wonderful.”

“Nejra did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She was willing to come to our home to meet our cats so we could show her how we feed our diabetic one. Her drop in visits were 12 hours apart as we requested, including administering insulin each visit. She provided detail and photos twice a day and even a video of her petting. I highly recommend Nejra and we will be hiring her again!”

“Thank you so much for looking after my cats this weekend! I’m traveling and Jen went to my RV to make sure my cats were safe and got some attention while I was working crazy longs days, during a hot weekend! She was a joy to communicate with, and took great care of my babies! I would definitely book Jen again, if I were local!”

“Tiffanie was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time having her drop in on our chocolate lab, and we will definitely reach out the next time we are out of town. Tiffanie was very communicative and kind, even asking if she could bring Fallon a pup cup one day! 🩵 She was also very thoughtful texting us that there were storms and asking if Fallon needed to be checked on early. “5 stars, would recommend!” 🥰”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for much of my life but am new to Rover. I have owned my own dog for 5 years now and have learned a ton about having a dog that requires boundaries and maintenance for triggers of his reactivity. I’ve learned patience and am happy to do that for your furry friends as well! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which gives me the flexibility to leave for drop-in visits throughout the day and after work! Tuesday-Thursdays can also be arranged if your home is near my office - contact me for details! While I’m unable to care for others’ pets in my own home since my pup prefers human friends, I will care for your pet in any way you need in your own home. I prefer homes where I can let your pet out into a fenced yard but am happy to take pets out on a leash if they are leash trained and/or you prepare me for their behavior.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child including I have taken care of my 7month old cat who broke her leg. I am able to check in on your animal/animals during lunch break and when I am off work around 4pm. I can care for them on the weekends at anytime as well! I will watch over your dog and care for your animals in anyway needed. I am reliable and have a passion for what I do.

About: Hello! My name is Sarah, but I go by Sam. Thank you so much for your consideration! Ever since I was a child, I’ve always loved having pets. There was hardly a time when I didn’t have some kind of companion in my life. Growing up, I had a variety of different pets, but most of my experience is with dogs, cats, birds, and rodents! However, I love all kinds of creatures (I’ve even had tarantulas)! These days, my boyfriend and I share an Aussie named Newman that we love to spoil. I’m a former doggy daycare attendant and dog groomer, so I have some experience handling pets of varying energy levels and temperaments. I also have some experience with pets that have special needs. I’m currently unemployed in the traditional sense, so I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands. I do volunteer with Iowa Bird Rehabilitation sometimes, but my main focus right now is pet sitting. It’s something I enjoy doing, and I’ve found that I get the most joy out of spending time taking care of client’s pets. Some day I do hope to go to school for something animal behavior or social service related, but I’m still trying to figure that out! I’m very understanding and adaptable to whatever schedule you’ve got set for your pets, so that they still have the sense of security that comes from having a routine! During house sittings, I offer overnight care to ensure your pets have someone to care for them around the clock. I always keep a close eye when at home with the pets to ensure nothing goes awry, and I always make sure they are safely secured if they need to be left alone for a period of time. Water is always made available unless otherwise specified. I love to spoil pets with treats when I can but I’m very good at following instructions if they have a strict diet, physical limitations, medications, etc.

“Lisa was wonderful in watching my cat. He can be stand-offish but Lisa was very patient, she gave great check in descriptions and photos (when my cat allowed) and I highly recommend her to watch over your pet as well”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better drop-in sitter for my cats. She truly went above and beyond, especially for my oldest cat who had matted fur. After asking for permission, she removed the matted areas and educated me on maintenance. I can tell how much she loves cats and how knowledgeable she is about them. I am so glad I found Rover and Sara.”

“Dominque was fantastic. Was incredibly responsive and engaged from the first reach out. Came out before our trip to walk through everything and meet our cat. Was great about updates and making sure everything went smooth. So thankful we were able to get Dominque’s help.”
