About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in! My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and most farm animals since I was a kid. Going into my late 20s I really do have a passion in caring for any kind of animal and ensuring the best care possible. I'm currently working from home so my availability is flexible and open. I am more than happy to work with your fur babies at any given moment as long as i have a 24 hour notice. shoot me a message and i will work with your schedule the best i can. My dog gets treated like a human, she is spoiled and treated with so much love & care. She gets walks, playtime in the park, and treats as necessary

“Baylee is wonderful. I trust her completely with my elderly dog. She's very knowledgeable about the proper way to introduce dogs to each other and it's obvious she cares deeply about animals”


“Savannah was great! She took great care of our Aussie during our move into our new apartment. She was very lenient with the pick up time and kept us updated with photos! I would recommend Savannah to anyone!! 🐾”


About: I love spending time and care for animals! I have animals of my own that gave me the experience to work with animals of all different ages, sizes, and personalities! I will take the time to make sure that your pets are well taken care of when they are in my care. I have an open availability for the most part to take care of your pet! I can provide for your pets with any care they might need. I have two dogs of my own and three cats, they are my babies!

“Thank you so much for planning last minute care for our dog. We only needed a few hours but was so happy to see he went on a nice long walk and had a good comfy nap after. We were very thankful you went a little out of your way to meet us”


About: My name is Brittany, I have recently transitioned to working from home. I have a very flexible schedule, which means that I have open availability for walks or drop-ins and will be able to be with your dogs the entire time they are in my care! While I have just started out on Rover, I am still an experienced animal caretaker. Previously I have worked with horses, dog sat in college as well as for family and friends. I treat all animals just like they are apart of my family, this means they sleep in the bed, are allowed on furniture, and are given plenty of love and affection. My dogs and I also love to go on outings to the park, hikes, biking, find water to play in, as well as walks around the neighborhood. I have experience with dogs of almost any size and would be happy to welcome your dog to my family while you are away. I work from home, so I have open availability. This means I can do walks or drop-ins whenever needed. If your dog is in my care while being boarded, at doggy daycare, or house-sitting, I will be with them the entire time! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a long line to allow your dog freedom to play in the yard. In my home we have rest breaks around meal times, and dogs will be separated for meals and to have personal time to themselves. I do have kennels if your dog prefers to sleep in a kennel while in my care. But my two German Shepherds love other dogs and would be happy to invite other dogs into our home. In a client's home I will go off what their schedule is so they have their normal day. I will treat your home just as my own and will leave it in just as good if not better condition than what I found it.

“Needed a last minute day sitter for my Pepper girl and so glad I chose Carmen! Didn’t know the exact times of drop off + pickup and they were so flexible and accommodating. Pepper was nice and tuckered out from playing with her pups all day, made the 9 hour roadtrip home so easy! Will gladly use her every time I’m in town!”


“Tiara was great will Mille and even convinced her to go potty in the rain, which isn’t easy to do! She also sent me pictures of Millie playing, and was available on short notice. Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up from teeny tiny to extra large. Family and friends have had me care for their pets numerous times and know that i’m very caring and trustworthy. I currently work full time as a CNA. I work full time 3rd shift so I will have plenty of time during the day to spend with your pups. I usually have one day off during the week and every other weekend off. I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room for your pet to run around in! I am home during the day but work at night so I can spend all day with your pup and offer multiple potty breaks, walks, and playtime!

About: Since I was young, I have always been around pets of all sizes. My parents had dogs of all types and sizes which range from a large German Shepherd/Siberian husky mix all the way down to a cute little Cockapoo. We love on all of our animals and treat them just as family, they are our entire world! Throughout the time, I got my fair share of walking the dogs daily, feeding them morning and night (unless they were a puppy that required more) and just being able to love on them all the time! I have raised all 4 dogs alongside my family so I am aware of what to do in circumstances! Walking dogs is a great time for both me and your dog because they get exercise and I get to relax with nature and a pup! Caring for dogs and seeing their tails wag when their owner or loved one comes in the door is one of the sweetest things to see! I'm currently a student at UNI and have a part time job in Waterloo. Having the flexibility in my own schedule allows me to pay more attention and care towards your furry friend! I have a fenced in yard that is big enough for even large dogs to burn off tremendous energy as well as an open floor plan. This allows for the dogs to not feel cramped up and have enough space to lay and play indoors as well.

About: I am happy to help you and your family in anyway I can! I keep my rates low so your pet can get quality individualized care at a reasonable cost. My husband and I adopted a black lab mix from the humane society. We are training her to be a therapy dog. Growing up I had a variety of small breed dogs. We also have a cat adopted from Cedar Bend. We recently moved into our first house and have a fenced in yard. We also live close to paw park. I can stop in and check on your furry friend, give them a bathroom break, play with them, feed them, and do any other cares you request. We can board dogs or cats on the weekend if they are potty trained and get along well with our cat and dog. I work from home so I am free for daycare. Looking forward to working with you soon! I have a fenced in yard. We have a black lab mix and a cat to keep your pet company. We enjoy all the extra cuddles and play time when we host a pet. I am currently working from home and am able to take care of pets during the week and on the weekends. We are flexible with pick up/drop off. We let our dog go outside to the bathroom and/or to play in our fenced in yard every 4 hours minimally. She is welcome on the furniture. If we are on a walk she’s always on the leash.
