Cat Sitting in Hiawatha

“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

About: I have lots of puppy care experience, and I know how to take care of all types of breeds. I will make sure your animals are loved and treated like family! I work pretty much full time at a dog boarding/daycare facility, so I know how to take care of animals very well! I work every day except Saturday and Sunday, my shifts are usually no longer than 6 hours. I live in an apartment with lots of space, so I can accommodate a lot of different animals. Also a huge outside area where they can do their business and play!

“Shelley was a great communicator and she sent a lot of pictures! Buster obviously enjoyed his time with her based on the photos. Thank you for taking care of him, Shelley!”

“I will definitely request Mira's help again - this was our first Rover experience, and she was a blessing. She went above and beyond by dropping by to meet Sam ahead of time so he wouldn't view her as an intruder. He's 90 pounds and we're still working on his puppy manners (like jumping and the occasional body slam), and she was competent and professional in taking him on. Mira dropped by twice as requested, took him for a walk, and sent plenty of photos so we could see he was having the best time with her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mira!”

“Madison was great taking care of my cats and they didn’t hide the entire time which is great for them. I felt good traveling knowing they were in good hands!”

“The dogs love Makenna! Very reliable and fantastic, detailed communication about how our fur babies are doing. We (and the dogs) look forward to her future visits.”

“Danielle and Travis do an amazing job of caring for our dog while we are away. They are extremely thorough in understanding what your pet's needs are before you leave and provide great updates while you're gone. We always look forward to the updates and can see from the photos and videos they send that our dog loves her time with them. They are amazing and we cannot recommend them enough!”

“Jena is amazing. She wowed us from our visit with her straight through her check-ins with our dogs. She even got our Chihuahua to eat, no easy task even with bribes. I highly recommend Jena. She is reliable, goes above and beyond just petsitting, and she is fantastic with dogs.”

Mary B.

“Great communication and able to fit in a last-minute intro meeting before my trip without issue. Seemed great with handling my anxious pup right out the gate. This was the first time I’ve used Rover and Erik gave me peace of mind throughout.”

Christopher K.

“Amy is fantastic! She was very responsive, timely and took great care of our pup! Will definitely book with her again and again 🙂”

Rebecca H.

“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and truly can't imagine a home without them. My passion for caring for animals led me to start pet sitting during the COVID pandemic, and what began as a way to help friends and neighbors quickly grew into something I absolutely loved. Over the years, I've cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and routines. My experience includes overnight boarding, long-term stays, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, daily walks, grooming and bathing, and caring for recurring clients who became like family. I'm also comfortable administering medications and following any special instructions needed to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. A few years ago, I stepped away from pet sitting to focus on one of my children's health needs. Now that life has settled down, I've been excited to return to something I've genuinely missed—spending time with animals and helping pet owners have peace of mind while they're away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own pets. I believe communication is key, so you can expect plenty of updates, photos, and check-ins while your pet is in my care. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! ❤️🐶 I just moved back up to cedar rapids and I am currently a PRN CNA where i choose the hours i would like to work and i also am a Wedding Coodinator on some weekends out of the year. My schedule is very open and flexible to whatever your needs are! I do live in a house now and while i dont have a fenced in yard, I live in a community where its safe to walk around and there are plenty of dog parks near by!

“Mellette did an amazing job of taking care of my fur babies!!! I highly recommend her. I know she will be the first person I reach out to when I need pet sitting!”

“Karley was super flexible and really helped me out in the clutch!!! She was great!”

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since the day I was born. I love to spend time with dogs by going for walks or car rides (if the owner allows it of course!) I have a cat and a dog of my own that I care for daily. All the usuals like feeding, letting outside, cleaning the litter box, but I also love to take my dog for walks and car rides or play with her in the back yard. I have so much fun playing with my cat and just giving him love! I’m usually very good about being able to let dogs out every couple of hours and love to hang out for a while to keep your pets company while you’re away!

About: I love all animals, and I'm willing to get my hands dirty (litterboxes are no match for me). I am very good at getting animals to take meds when needed, and I love just hanging out and keeping pets company so they don't feel lonely. I also have experience in taking care of animals with advanced grooming needs such as dailying brushing or bathing. I currently work Monday through Friday until 5 pm so I'm usually only open weekends unless it's just to pop by and make sure the animals are doing okay. Unless they are staying with me at my home in which wouldn't be a problem as I work from home. I have a fenced in backyard for playing. I have an extra crate if needed. I take my own dog on daily walks. We like to go to the trail at the school next door.

“First time using Rover and Char was great. Silver and Keekee were happy and healthy when we got home!”

About: I’ve been a registered vet tech since April 2025. I have been in the veterinary field as a vet assistant since 2019. I have many years of experience with all different types of pets, so I am comfortable with almost anything that could happen. I did also grow up with three cats and a dog. I do also currently have one cat and one dog. Pets are my passion! I am currently working 4 days a week. I would have plenty of time to spend with your pets when I am not working. On the days that I do work, I can stop by for an early walk/check in and I can swing by again after 5pm. There is still plenty of time for me to take care of your fur babies outside of my working hours. I am unable to stay overnight, but I am more than willing to spend evenings (5pm-8pm) with your pets while you are away. I would not be able to keep your pet at my home, but I can easily drop by your house and spend plenty of time with your pets while you are away.
