Dog Walkers in Homestead, IA

“Brooke was amazing with my special needs dog! He doesn’t have full control of his bowels and bladder, and Brooke was kind enough to clean up his accidents and change his diaper. I felt so comfortable with her walking, feeding, and taking care of him. Brooke was also very responsive and easy to communicate with. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to walk my fur baby! Will definitely contact her again in the future.”

“Sam has been very loyal at keeping a schedule when first we had 2 dogs that needed to be watered, feed, given snacks & sent outside to due there business, he tends to stick around and given them what they believe is much needed attention! Sam as always locked up and left our residence in the same shape it was found!”

“Nicole has been around and cared for all sorts of animals all her life; from small and large birds, dogs, cats, and even cows. She is very caring and kind to all animals and cannot pass a doggo without saying hi! She is very responsible when it comes to the care and respect for other’s animals. She would make an exceptional pet caregiver and anyone would be lucky to have her as one!”

“Joy was a true joy for my pups! She came to our home to walk (or to play with the boys when it was too cold/snowy). She was always so kind and the boy were ALWAYS happy to see her (dogs never lie)!”

“Claudia has watched my dog several times and he gets super excited when he sees her! He is young and a bit high maintenance but Claudia handled him with ease. She gave him LOTS of love and attention and even sent me multiple updates and photos while I was away! I used to feel terrible dropping him off at a kennel but now I know he's in great hands with Claudia. 5 Stars all the way!! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have always had pets, but at this point in time, we are unable to have any pets of our own. Because of that, we would love to take care of yours when needed! I have experience with cats, dogs, and turtles - both in my own home and at others' homes. I have a young son (1.5 year old) who adores pets of all shapes and sizes, as well as a baby girl (4 months). I have a part time job, but I am home pretty much 24/7. I am able to accommodate your pet's needs when it comes to outside time (walks, playing, etc.), feeding schedule, and quality time. Pets in our home are a part of our family - they will be the center of our attention! We do not have a fenced in yard, so they would need to be leashed for bathroom breaks. There are several nearby parks we would love to take them to stretch their legs.

“Mei was amazing with our pup. Provided us with plenty of pictures and updates. Would recommend 100%!”

“Mia Hatcher is a caring and vibrant individual with a genuine love for animals! Mia is always posting on social media about her dogs, whether it be going on walks, enjoying play time, or simply giving them head rubs. Mia’s love for pets also extends to others. She is the kind of person that loves to talk about other people’s pets whenever she gets the chance. If she is visiting a friend and they have a dog or cat, she will go out of her way to spend time with it. Not only does Mia love animals, but she also takes the responsibility of caring for a pet seriously. If I needed a pet sitter, I would trust Mia to take good care of my beloved animals. For all these reasons, I can confidently say that Mia is a responsible and loving pet caregiver!”

About: I am a lover of all animals looking to care for yours! I have four dogs of my own who I love as if they are my children. I’m here to help because I know many others feel the same. I have been helping out with pets over the years. I know how hard it can get leaving them and wanting to assure they’re in good hands. Well have no fear I’m here to solve it! I can do overnights in your home, in my own home, or drop in visits. I do have a full time job but I do not work evenings or weekends so those are always open. Feel free to contact me with any further questions. Hope to watch your sweet pets soon! :)

“Christina watched our three dogs and cats for a full week while we were on vacation. She did a great job! Highly recommend her services! We surprisingly had kittens being born while we were gone and she made sure everything went great and kept me updated.”

About: I started taking care of Pets when I was 8 but most of those pets were my own, I only recently started taking care of other people's pets including my mother in-law, my neighbors and others that have contacted me from them. I usually work part time at night and I was wanting to fill it in with something I could do as my own buisness and stumbled here. Also the 2 cats there are my most recent pets that were adopted from the shelter about 3 years ago sadly they don't get along well with other animals as a whole so I can not bring them to my place. I give dogs lot of love and play time whenever I'm with them and expect to have everything be looking the same as when the owner left. I also will ask a couple questions about how your dog or cat will behave so I know how to treat them.

“She did very well with Oakley and I was so happy she was able to help me last Minute! Oakley seemed to enjoy her company as well! Will be using her again!”

About: From growing up with 2 dogs to currently having a dog of my own, I understand the love that pet owners have for their furry friends! As a nurse, I have a genuine passion for helping others (and dogs!) and ensuring their safety and wellbeing. I’ll be sure to care for your pup like they’re my own! I work 3 12 hour shifts a week with a schedule that repeats itself every 3 weeks. My days off are wide open to provide care for your pet. It’s important that I understand the boundaries and commands you have established with your dog so I can continue to care for your pet in the same way you do. For drop in visits, it’s important that I know your pet’s routine, where items are, and how to get your pets attention. For walks, I would clarify where you want me to walk, how long, and any precautions I need to know about regarding how your dog interacts with others in public.

“Brittney is the best pet sitter I have ever had! She has excellent communication, shared so many photos and my dogs looked like they had an absolute blast.”

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to Robert and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and service he provided. Robert is truly a dog lover! From the moment I reached out to Robert on Rover.com, his professionalism and prompt communication stood out. He was quick to respond to my inquiries, and we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for my dog's needs and personality. I appreciated his attention to detail and the genuine interest he showed in getting to know my dog's habits, preferences, and any specific instructions. Robert provided a safe and comfortable environment for my furry companion, treating my dog as if they were their own. Regular updates, including photos and videos, were sent to me, allowing me to see that my dog was happy and content while in their care. This level of communication brought peace of mind, especially when I had to be away from my pup for an extended period. He made sure my dog received plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to Robert for any future dog-sitting needs!”

“Kelsey has been watching my dog and cat for years. She has experience with all animals and grew up with them and has a dog of her own. I barely have to give her instructions.”

“Sarah and her husband did an amazing job watching my dog. They updated us everyday by text and sent multiple pictures. You can tell he had a great time”

“Fantastic dog sitter! Dogs liked her right away”

About: I am very fascinated with service animal training and love researching about it and plan to become a licensed trainer one day. I am very passionate about helping our pets help us even more than they already do and improve the lives of people with disabilities and mental illnesses. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to play in and a home with plenty of space for housing overnight. I am very active and would love to take a new running buddy with me during my workouts or adventures, long boarding or hiking! We run a family business so I can be very flexible during the week to care for your pups! We like to be active and my husband is training for a half marathon and loves to take high energy dogs with him on his long runs! I have been long-boarding for over a decade and love to give high energy leash pullers the workout of their lives😂 I have a large fenced backyard and tie outs for any escape artists. There’s a paved nature trail and dog park less than 1/2 mile from our house. I have lots of toys, treats, and a large dog bed. We do have a cat we keep locked upstairs blocked by a full size door at the bottom of the stairs and an additional gate at the top. We take up to 4 dogs at a time from multiple households, so there may be overlap or overnights with other dogs. We try to keep separate households separated when unsupervised just as a precaution. Please let me know if your dog has any social problems with other dogs.

“Ariel has taken care of our Furbabies before and did a great job. They loved her and we would have her watch them again anytime.”
