About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether you've got a zoomie-powered puppy, a senior snoozer, or somewhere in between, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to their unique needs. As a pet parent myself, I have hands-on experience working with reactive and anxious dogs, and I understand the patience, consistency, and awareness they require. I’m comfortable following specific training techniques, avoiding triggers on walks, and creating a calm, safe environment to help your pet feel secure and supported. My experience also includes: Puppies: Reinforcing routines, basic commands, and plenty of supervised play High-energy/working dogs: Structured exercise, mental enrichment, and keeping a consistent schedule Senior dogs: Gentle care, administering medications if needed, and keeping a steady routine Cats: From social snugglers to independent explorers—I respect their space while making sure they feel safe and enriched Other small animals: I’m happy to care for other furry (or feathered!) companions as well. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, lots of love, and a dependable sitter you can trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away. I work in the North Liberty area and I am free most early mornings, afternoons/evenings, and weekends. I'm always happy to get a little more activity into my day. I think structure is important for a pet, so I am happy to use whatever training tools you have already implemented. We pet parents don't mess around when it comes to our babies, so whatever routines work for your pet (no matter how specific or silly you may think), I'm happy to oblige.

“Carly did a great job with twelve days of drop in care for our puppy! Carly communicated well and took care of all her needs. They played inside and out as well as mixing it up with short walks. Allie was very well taken care of and we would definitely book her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of various ages for about 2 years at the client's home. I've done baths, taken them on walks, outside to go potty, of course feeding and giving all the treats! I work in Cedar Rapids so I'm only able to do mid day check ins in that area. If you aren't in the Cedar Rapids area I can do morning and evening/night check ins. I am able to stay overnight at your home as well if needed. I provide care at the client's home. I am able to come for a drop in visit and hang out with your pet for a short time or I'm able to come and stay for the night, weekend, or longer if needed.

About: I have experience pet sitting as well as currently working at a Doggy Daycare/Boardinh facility! I grew up on a farm, so I am used to working with animals, and I also have pets of my own! I have taken care of a large variety of pets, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am also used to giving medication to pets that require it! I currently am working part time at a pet care facility, so I would love to incorporate more pet care into my life! I am happy to help wherever I can, however early or late needed! I have a great ability to read a pets body language and help them get used to me when visiting them in home. I also understand boundaries and love walking pets, while also keeping them under control and safe!

“Shelby was awesome! She had her hands full with 2 of our 3 dogs, as they are puppies, but she did a wonderful job. I will be having her help again and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.

“Chelsea took great care of our cats when we were out of town for the week!! We will definitely rebook with her.”

About: I have had and cared for pets most my life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other rodents. I currently simultaneously take care of a black lab and border collie frequently. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I care for a black lab and a border collie on a regular basis, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs that need both physical activity and attention. Walks, playtime, and keeping them on their routine are a natural part of their care. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, and other small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs—whether that’s active play, quiet companionship, or simply a calm, consistent presence. Making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy fits seamlessly into my everyday life. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment, whether in my home or a client’s home, and I follow routines and instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, exercise, and any special care. In my home, pets receive close supervision, structure, and plenty of attention. I stay alert to behavior and surroundings to ensure pets are safe at all times. My goal is dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.

“Ashley is a fantastic person and a great sitter! She was very good with my dog for a few days away and I will definitely be reaching out for more possible rebooking’s the future.”

Adam S.

“Lauren was always quick to respond and she was very flexible and accommodating, agreeing to meet my pup beforehand and dropping my keys back off. She sent photos during the drop in visits and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog’s care in her hands. Strongly recommend Lauren as a Rover dog sitter!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I treat everyone like my own and provide a safe environment for your pet. I volunteered at the Adams county animal shelter with all the dogs. I will take your pup on walks, play with them, lots of belly rubs and of course feed them. I have gave dogs medicine injection and orally. All in all your puppy/dog will be safe with me and will be treated like family. I only ask your dog is up to date on all their shots. If staying for over night and is kennel trained I would need that provided. I am pretty flexible with my availability. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. I currently work as a bus aid for a school district in Amana. I am available multiple times a day and every evening on weekdays. I am available all weekend and Holidays. I have a fenced in yard with 3.5 acres of land. I currently have 4 dogs ranging from puppy to senior. I will Treat your home and pets like my own.
