“Maddie took excellent care of my babies! Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates someone who will give attention to the smallest details. She will take care of your pets as if they are her own.”

“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!”
“Travis & Danielle were truly fantastic! They respond Des quickly and took great care of Ingrid. I am so happy I found them and look forward to using them again to help care for my pup dying weekend getaways.”

“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.”

“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 have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a freshman in high school. I have 5 of my own dogs which is a lot of work but has helped grow my experience. I’m a college student working part time and majority of my classes are online. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands if you need me to check in or stay over. I make sure your dog is safe and happy while also following the list of instructions given by you. If you need me to stay over I can maintain a clean environment
“This was our second time using them to watch our animals, they just watched our cats this time & they did a great job! They regularly kept us up to date with pictures & took the time to give them some lovings & play time on top of keeping the litter boxes clean & feeding them. They're definitely one of our regulars now that we'll always trust with our babies!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I regularly help care for a German Shepherd, including feeding, administering oral medications, and providing frequent potty breaks and attention. I’m also experienced with smaller, high-energy dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. In addition, I have my own cat, so I’m very familiar with feline care, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and giving lots of attention to more vocal or affectionate cats. I also care for my own pet gecko, which has given me experience maintaining consistent routines and meeting specific care needs for animals. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and needs, including pets that require extra care or supervision. I’m available Thursdays through Sundays for full-time care, and can also care for pets on my workdays after shifts. I’m experienced with adult dogs, cats, and pets with special needs, and I always make sure they receive attention, feeding, and potty breaks according to their schedule I provide attentive and loving care for pets, whether in my home or theirs. At a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, give pets regular attention and potty breaks, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment with plenty of love, attention, and safe spaces for pets to relax and play
“Landon was great! He spent quality time with our dogs. He also cleaned up messes if they had accidents and also offered to give them baths. He was very responsive. My dogs got great care!”

“Anna was amazing! Her and Rossi clicked right away and he was excited to see her walk through the door for every drop in visit. Due to his age, Rossi required a little extra care which didn't bother Anna a bit. Our home was taken very well care of and looked just as it did when we departed. Thank you Anna, you're greatly appreciated.”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. If you are requesting house sitting M-F please be aware that I work full time days so it's basically just drop-ins and my house sitting does not include sleeping overnight at your home. I am not currently offering in-home pet care at my residence. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.

About: *Puppy care experience *Elder dog care experience *I enjoy long walks with your dog *I am punctual, organized, thorough and genuine! I have a lot of love and cuddles to share with your pup! I currently work a split shift. This gives me plenty of time to spend time with dogs between the hours of 11:30-3:30 pm. (Tuesday- Friday) We have a fenced in yard for our dog. I will either escort him out back to the fenced area in the morning or leash him to take him out front. If you do not have a fenced in yard or area, I will always leash the pup inside before I open the door to avoid running or distractions!
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!

Madison did amazing with my 2 cats! They have special dietary needs and their food can take a bit to prepare but she did great. She sent lots of photos and followed my instructions perfectly! She was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone. Definitely will be booking her again in the future 😁
