About: My own furry family consists of 3 wolverines (chihuahuas), 1 pit/boxer mix, 3 horses, 2 cats and a gaggle of happy, laying hens. As a lover of ALL animals, you can trust your furry family members to my care. I currently work in healthcare, and I am very blessed to work three days per week, leaving me with abundant free time to enjoy the outdoors. With a wide variety of animals, caring for them is of utmost importance. I remain knowledgeable in animal behaviors, wound management, illnesses and preventative vet care.

“Sarah took great care of our animals during her drop-in visits. She was always prompt, provided pictures and detailed Rover cards that kept me informed about how everything was going. I really appreciated her thorough communication and attention to their needs. Knowing they were in such capable hands gave me peace of mind while we were away. I will definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her services. Thank you Sarah!!”

About: Experienced Pet Lover — From Small Animals to XXL Dogs 🐾 I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, and taking care of pets has always been a big part of my life. I raised my Great Dane from a puppy and have a huge heart for big dogs, puppies, and animals of all sizes. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own Great Dane, bunny rabbit, and cat, as well as pet-sat for other dogs and cats. I was also raised in a household with Siberian Huskies, so I’ve been around dogs and animals from a young age. I enjoy building a bond with every pet I care for and have experience with basic training as well. I taught my Great Dane commands such as sit, stay, spin, and shake. I also litter-box trained my bunny and taught my cat to sit for a treat. I’m comfortable caring for everything from small animals to XXL dogs, and I’m also open to caring for reptiles and other pets. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a gentle giant, a curious cat, or a smaller animal that needs extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and love I give my own pets. Your pets are family, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐰🦎❤️ I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care or attention your pet may need. There is always someone home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I don’t currently have any pets of my own after losing my dog last October, and I’m looking forward to being able to share that love and companionship with other people’s pets. I’m also available for early morning and evening walks, as well as flexible care throughout the week. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or in my client’s home, depending on the service needed. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to take dogs out on a leash for regular potty breaks and walks. I also have space for a crate if your dog prefers having their own quiet space to relax. There are currently no pets in my home, so your pet can have my full attention and won’t have to worry about sharing their space with other animals.

About: Hello! My name is Bobby and I have one German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix named Keoni. Before Keoni, I have cared for dogs of friends and relatives' while they are away. Over the years of taking care of dogs, I realized I have a knack for interacting with them. I love spending time with all types of dogs, even the most energetic ones! As a herding dog owner myself, I know how important it is to get their energy out, so your home is not completely destroyed! Keoni and I have joined a frisbee league with one another and enjoy staying active ourselves throughout the week. I will take your dogs on runs, play fetch with them, or engage in whatever activity they are interested in. My full-time job is Hybrid, and work both in an office and at home. My schedule can vary throughout the week with meetings, where I will have to travel to, however with enough notice, my schedule can be very flexible if a pet needs additional attention. I currently live in a one bedroom apartment but will have plenty of room to care for an extra dog. At my apartment complex, there is a dog park area provided for tenants that I am able to bring dogs to for exercise.

About: I love my pets. People call me the pet whisper. Dogs amnd cats just walk up to me in a crowd and stare. I was once on an international flight and after we got our luggage the security dog came up to me and stare so they checked my luggage, purse and carry on and found nothing of course. I am a retired surgical technologist so I have a lot of free time. If I get a job and I don’t have another sitting job I take it. I just moved to Iowa last September and just joined Rover. When I was in Kansas all my clients where word of mouth. Dice I have live in Iowa I have travel back to Kansas to either cat or dog sit and house sit many times. I brush, feed and love on them. Administer medication if called for. I make sure there is nothing around that they shouldn’t chew on that is dangerous. Of course I take them on walks if the owner wants. Anything the owner ask me to do I

About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and currently have a very friendly golden retriever named Georges (after Georges Niang) who loves to play and a 10 month old kitty who I love more than anything. I’ve cared for puppies and for senior dogs with problems such as blindness and arthritis and diabetes. I’m able to give them any medication required. I am a student athlete here at The University of Montana playing basketball. I will care for cats, dogs or any other animals you might have. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended for long! Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I’m on the University of Montana Women’s basketball team and would love to work around my schedule to help out with your fur babies! In the Missoula areas! Growing up I have always had rescue animals in my home. I will take the same care if not better care of your animals because I know how hard it can be to trust someone to watch after your animals!

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

“Becky was a life saver on the trip. We had two cancellations last minute and she stepped in and helped out with walking Dove. She does a great job providing updates and taking care of our dog. We appreciated the timely and complete updates from the walks and the way she helped out by bringing in packages while gone. Having a respectful and trustworthy sitter is something that is so helpful on a trip to be able to enjoy it. We highly recommend her.”

About: I have a lot of experience with many different ages and types of pets and love to treat them as my own.

About: As a dog mama myself, I understand that our dogs are more than just our pets. They’re an integral part of our family! I strive to provide them with the necessary care they need, but also the enrichment they need to thrive and live a happy life. I love to play with them, take them out for walks, and provide them with love and pets. It’s important to me that they are not just physically cared for, but they are mentally stimulated through play and emotionally cared for at every visit. I'm always mindful that all pets should be greeted with a slow introduction, that does not come off as intrusive, or threatening. Even the most social pets, can behave differently when an unfamiliar person enters their home while family is not present. I always take that into consideration upon each visit, as I get to know your dog/cat, and build a trusting relationship. Whether your pet goes out on a leash, uses a fenced in yard, or requires potty pads to go to the bathroom, I'll follow your instructions as discussed through the Rover app, or during our initial "meet and greet". Requested information about your pet -Medication schedule -Behavioral issues that may affect walking your pet on public sidewalks, history of biting or aggression while being fed. -Ongoing medical conditions -Vet number and/or emergency contact I currently work on a hybrid schedule - 3 days in West Des Moines and 2 days at home in Ankeny. I have a flexible schedule where I can pop around to your pet when needed. I have a heart for animals along with the patience needed to give quality pet care. Your pet will always come first and I would treat them as if they are my own.

About: My pets are indoors AND outside because I have safe, pet friendly, separated or joined, sheltered, natural areas where we can all unwind on my seven acres. I'm a retiree who devotes all my time to my grandkids, animals and hobbies. Your pets' needs are provided for at all times whether they are here for a day, week or month as they are included in our family activities. Pets are kept separated or allowed to play together depending on their needs. I provide crates, mats, kennels and even my bed for peaceful sleeping.

About: I genuinely love and care about all animals! I am a nurse, and my husband is a British geologist which means I’m currently alternating living in two countries. I am only working three months of the year, so that leaves my schedule quite flexible! I’m positive, kind, adventurous and fun, and also intuitive, patient, respectful and tidy! I love to walk and hike so I thought why not take someone’s fur baby with me to help break up their day! (Calendar notes: I may be in the States for the last 3 weeks of January 2027, and available, so please check back as it gets closer to those dates:) Currently, my schedule is quite flexible. I can accept early morning thru late night, any day of the week. Just ask and I’ll let you know if I’m free! I am not currently able to care for pets in my home, but would love to do nice fun walks, and overnight, or drop-in care, playtime, and cuddles!
