Dog Sitting Iona

“Alexys was wonderful with my cat, Ginger. Her drop in visits were right on time and she did everything I asked of her perfectly. Ginger is a very independent cat and can be a bit standoffish but she warmed up a bit during the first visits with Alexys, and I believe they will become good friends over time. I definitely hope to book her again soon!”

About: I love dogs, and have several years of experience dog sitting for friends and family, multiple dogs at a time. I grew up with a Spitz and currently have an adorable and highly energetic Border Collie who absolutely loves having friends over. We'd be so excited to have your pup come stay with us for a sleepover! I believe in treating pets like family, and can ensure your dog a safe home with lots of love and warmth. I am a research engineer at INL. I typically work from home in the mornings and go to work in the afternoons. I would make sure to feed the dogs and walk/play with them before I leave, and repeat when I come back home. I'm happy to accommodate your dogs feeding and potty time habits so they feel comfortable. I have a range of fun toys at home including chew toys, balls and puzzles. My own dog loves to share and play. I have an obstacle course set up in my yard which is super fun and mentally engaging. I also have frisbees and a tug rope attached to my tree in the yard. I have a 3 bedroom home with open layout and lots of space with long corridors set up to play fetch if it gets too cold outside. My preference is for house trained and crate trained, small to medium size dogs who are friendly and like to play with other dogs, and do not display aggression towards other male dogs. I work from home in the mornings and would feed and let the dogs out before leaving for work around noon. I am usually back home by 5 and rarely have any engagements in the evening, allowing me to focus on your dog's needs. The dogs won't be alone for more than 5-6 hours at a time and will be monitored by pet cam the entire time. I have a fenced yard and make sure to dog proof the house so that they do not hurt themselves on any dangerous objects. My dog is house and crate trained.

“Very reasonable prices and very responsible. She listened to and followed all of my directions carefully. She even rescued my cat, who had gotten himself locked in our office as we were leaving. I had zero issues and would have no problem hiring her again.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My family dogs were small breed and now I have 2 large breeds and a cat. My dogs are both senior dogs and one gets medications twice daily. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing happy ears and happy tails. I’m here for the ones that just need company or the ones who need a break from being inside. I’m currently not working and I am studying for exams so I have open availability for the time being. I’m open to early mornings or late nights. Pets are their own individual beings and it’s important to care for each as they need and not fall into the collective mindset. I gain clues from being with the animal and always start slow and cautious to gain their trust. I always make sure pets are cared for, clean, and happy as can be.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! dogs, chickens, cats and bunnies! My neighbors and extended family have asked me to take care of their animals a bunch i love it and i think it’s so fun! I love going on walks with them or sitting, brushing them, teaching them tricks, playing with them ect. I’m currently working part time and will have a lot of time in my day to play with your animals!! All my big summer trips have already happened so i will be around a ton this summer! My cute dog recently passed away so i don’t have anyone your dog can play with but i have such more love and appreciation for animals after loosing mine🩷 There is no doubt that your dog won’t have just as much fun! They are good to be on a leach in my backyard or a crate if needed!

About: Pet Care Experience: More Than Just a Sitter I've been a passionate dog enthusiast and reliable caregiver for over 15 years, I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My experience isn't just about feeding and walking; it's about providing genuine companionship and a fun, safe environment. I regularly handle all aspects of routine care, including medication administration, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and enforcing positive reinforcement training that owners already have in place. Whether it's a calm cuddle session or a high-energy adventure, I tailor my approach to meet your dog's unique needs and personality. What Sets Me Apart: A Focus on Connection and Safety While many sitters offer basic care, I believe your pet deserves a partner who is attentive, active, and highly informed. What makes me different is my combination of energetic engagement and deep understanding of canine behavior: My patience and understanding of dog body language mean I can spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or over-excitement before they become an issue. This ensures a low-stress, enjoyable experience for your pet and allows me to introduce toys and activities that they genuinely love. Safety is My #1 Priority: Beyond basic supervision, I focus on proactive safety. This includes double-checking gates, being aware of environmental hazards, and using proper leash handling techniques, especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. I am constantly vigilant so you never have to worry. The Ultimate Playmate: I bring genuine, playful energy to every session. I'm not afraid to get on the floor for a game of tug-of-war or dedicate time to an extensive walk and play session to ensure your dog is physically and mentally satisfied by the end of the day. A tired dog is a happy and well-behaved dog! Pet care isn't just a side job; it's a valued part of my established routine, which means consistent and dedicated care for your dog. Because I work part-time during the school year, my schedule allows me to offer highly reliable availability when most owners need it: Weekly Availability I am generally available for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting during the following times: Monday through Thursday: Available starting at 2:00 PM daily. This is a perfect window for late afternoon potty breaks, substantial long walks, and dinner routines. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: I offer flexible, full-day availability for house-sitting and extended services. How This Fits In The fact that I work just 2 miles from my school is a huge advantage for my clients. My commute home is minimal, ensuring I am immediately available right at 2:00 PM to begin services. This efficient schedule means I can provide: The crucial late-day walk and playtime that breaks up your dog's afternoon after you've left for work. Dedicated, unhurried attention. Since I'm not rushing to squeeze in appointments between a full-time job, your dog gets my full focus and energy. Please reach out with your specific needs! I'm happy to discuss how my flexible schedule and reliable availability can best support your pet's routine. When your dog stays with me, they become a member of the family. My home is set up to be a safe, clean, and low-stress environment where your pet can relax and thrive. Security and Supervision During the Day I want to be upfront about my schedule so you can be confident in the care I provide: Supervision: Guests are not 100% supervised throughout the day. When I am working part-time during the week (Monday through Thursday), I am away for a few hours at a time during the school day. Security During Alone Time: Before I leave, all dogs are securely placed in a safe, dog-proofed area or kennel (based on your dog's preference) with fresh water and comfortable bedding. Doggie Door Access: For reliable house-trained dogs, we have a doggie door available that provides continuous, secure access to our fenced yard for potty breaks while I am away. This is a great feature for independent dogs who enjoy frequent outdoor access. My Resident Dog: A Friendly Host I share my home with Kilo, a friendly Irish Wolfhound Poodle Mix (a Wolfadoodle!) who genuinely loves having canine company! We actively encourage supervised, positive play sessions in our secure yard. However, your dog's comfort is my priority: Managed Socialization: Introductions are slow and monitored. If needed, I have the ability to easily separate my dog from guests using designated gates and areas, ensuring both dogs have their own peaceful space for meals, rest, or if a break is needed. The Home Environment Secure Fenced Yard: I have a wooden and welded wire fenced yard for safe, contained playtime and bathroom breaks. All gates are double-checked before outdoor sessions. Structure and Comfort: I maintain a consistent daily schedule (feeding times, walk schedules, and potty breaks) closely aligned with your dog's routine to minimize anxiety. I provide comfortable, dedicated sleeping areas for rest. Daily Updates: Trust is built on communication. You will receive regular photo or video updates daily so you can see your happy dog enjoying their stay, if desired. My goal is to make your dog feel safe and loved, ensuring you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I have been with animals my whole life. Though not certified, I have trained dogs to heard cows. I’ve also helped them with extreme behavioral issues. I love understanding a dog’s body language. To out it simply I know how to act around most dogs. I have also helped my family take care of puppies! I work a job at a day care center Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am able to let dogs out for a quick potty break around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. I may leave for an hour or two during the weekend to meet up with my family, but never more than that if I am house sitting. I do my best to not only respect and love the animals of the home, but also your home itself. I will do my best to keep everything clean and leave it the way I found it. I am more than happy to meet an odd or long requests and instructions if they are written down for me!

“Tanya has been very responsible and caring while looking after my aged dog.”

“Alyssa is awesome. She’s the best rover sitter I’ve ever had! Thanks so much for loving on him and always communicating and being punctual. -Rangos dad”

About: Animals have been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a ranch, I learned early on that caring for animals is a 24/7 commitment that requires patience, hard work, and a sharp eye for detail. From chickens and bunnies to cats and dogs—and even more unique pets like ferrets and birds—I was raised with the understanding that every animal has its own personality and specific needs. My parents gave me my first dog when I was 1, she was best friend till she passed away when I was 17 years old. I learned at a very young age how to care for dogs and all the responsibilities that go along with them. She was by my side, even when she passed. I have owned several more through my adult life and currently have 2 senior pups that have been with us since Itty bitty babies. ​As an animal mom myself, I know exactly how hard it is to head out on vacation. Leaving your fur babies behind and worrying about the level of care they are receiving can be incredibly stressful. Because I understand that bond, I promise that any pet in my care will receive the exact same level of love, attention, and high-standard care that I expect for my own. My goal is to give you total peace of mind; I’m here to make sure your pet’s routine is followed perfectly and their day is a little brighter while you’re away. My husband owns his own business and I am currently taking classes online at home on my own time to get my bachelors degree in accounting so rover fits my schedule perfectly and lets me do something I love. How perfect is that! Care in Your Home (Drop-ins & House Sitting) ​"When I care for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their sense of security and routine. I understand that a disruption in their environment can be stressful, so I focus on the details that matter: I stick strictly to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or quiet snuggles for a senior pet, I’m there to provide genuine companionship, not just a quick visit. ​ ​Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) ​"I treat every pet in my home like a member of my own family. My space is a 'pawsitive' environment where your fur baby can feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Pets are never left unattended and have constant access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, a fenced in back yard, and plenty of affection. Can also crate if needed. Because I’m an 'animal mom,' I know that some pets need extra reassurance. I provide a calm, organized space where they can settle in quickly. Drawing on my years of experience growing up on a ranch, I am highly observant of animal behavior and health. I keep a close eye on their appetite, energy levels, and overall well being. You’ll receive regular photos and updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having, letting you enjoy your time away worry-free."

“They were awesome! Our poor dog was stressed out over the 4th of July holiday and they went above and beyond to make continuous check ins to ensure our pup was doing good. Would recommend 10/10 times.”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets since I was age 7. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I’m available 7 days a week. I can watch them at your house or mine depending on your schedule. They will have lots of play time during the day. I have a huge fenced yard, so there will be lots of room for running around and playing.I never leave them unattended in the yard. Plus I have two dogs that are pet friendly that would love the company. If you want help with extra training, please let me know.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have had mostly dogs. My kids are also very animal oriented. I have cared for praying mantis, hermit crabs, tortoises, cocktail, hamsters, cats, dogs, bunny. These are most of the pets I have cared for. Walking them, helping groom them feeding them and spending time with them. I have trained both my cat and my dog many commands. They both know sit, speak, the dog knows shake and can switch, the cat is learning. I just enjoy being around animals. If I could I would have many more, but that is why I am here, so I can visit with other animals. I am currently not working and just enjoy spreading time with my older kids and my pets. I have time on my hands and want to be with animals so I am doing this and lining into volunteer opportunities with the local shelters Right now because I have pets at home I would be willing to come to your home and take care of your animals. When my husband is home i would be willing to do overnights if needed

“Emily did great with our berniedoodle. She’s an excellent communicator. She was very prompt in her visits. My daughter gave her a tip in person because that was the first time using the Rover app which provides an opportunity to tip. We’ve already booked her again for September.”

About: I have 2 dogs. 1 is in her senior age and I have been taking care of pets sense I was 8! (Including puppies!) I can give medication to dogs and help puppies learn how to use stairs, the backyard as a potty place, and help ween them off wet foods. I'm currently finishing up school and I needed a job but it's hard to have a job in a regular restaurant because it doesn't leave time for home work. This job will allow me to make money and still finish school. I treat them as I would my own pets. With respect and makeing sure they get what they need. I make sure they have food and water, havent gone potty on the floor, take them out side, and make sure if they need meds that they get it. I also play with them and make sure there happy.

About: I’ve never once lived without a dog in my life, so being around them has always felt natural to me 🐾 I’ve been completely obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who just want company and cuddles. I’m also a starting dog groomer, so I’m learning more every day about dog care, behavior, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own: loved, spoiled, and in good hands. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, company while you’re away, or extra patience and care, I’m happy to help! My schedule is pretty flexible! I currently work Tuesday through Friday, but I usually get off around 4 PM, so I’m available for evening walks, check-ins, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention afterward 🐾 I’m also free most weekends and can be available for longer visits or multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Whether your pet just needs someone to stop by and feed them, take them outside, go on a walk, or keep them company while you’re away, I’d love to help! I’d be a great fit because I can offer a really safe, comfortable, and flexible environment for your dog. I have a fully fenced backyard, so they’ll have space to run around and play securely if they’re staying here. I also have other friendly dogs, which can be great for social pups who love company and playtime. If your dog needs structure or a calmer setup, I’m also able to crate them when needed so they can relax and feel secure. On top of that, I’m comfortable with different routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, or just hanging out and giving them attention.

About: My name is Emily and I am 36 years old and love all animals. I have 2 cats and a 7 year old black lab named Niko. I love dogs and enjoy long walks.

I am currently not employed and have plenty of time to walk with your pups and have play dates. I can work on short notice if needed. At this time I cannot watch pets in my home, but am happy to help you with your pets in your own home. I can walk your pup alone or with my dog Niko on request.
