“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”

“We have never left our dogs with a sitter but we were visiting our new grandbaby and one of my dogs was just too much! Sophia was the perfect fit for us! We have a senior dog, an 80 pound golden puppy who is a lot and a low maintenance cat. She took great care of them all and I know they were happy to be in their own house and not in a tiny hotel room. Her communication was fantastic and we felt very at ease. We I’ll book her again”

“Helen was great while my partner and I were out of town. She sent tons of photos and videos, and the animals looked totally comfortable—even our nervous cat seemed to enjoy her, which is saying something! When we got home, everyone was happy and the apartment looked untouched, like she hadn’t even been there. We’ve never had a pet sitter before, but we were able to actually enjoy our trip knowing Helen was here.”

“I‘ve been a long time customer of staceys. She is simply the best. She will take the best care of your puppers. I was only supposed to be away for work 3 days and when they extended the stay I was so worried. Of course Stacey stepped up to the plate and made sure my baby was taken care of. Thank you Stacey!”
“Maria looked after our pups for a day and whenever she sent us photo updates, I swear our dogs looked so happy in her company. I could tell they just loved her. Will definitely use her services again if needed! Thank you Maria!”

“Geneva was assumed with Pepper and beans. Being very tentative with them when it came to feeding and being let out. Also spending some social time with them. Ill def recommend and hire again for future vacations.!!!”

“Joshua was very responsible and did an amazing job! My dogs were healthy and happy when we returned home. Our house was in perfect order like no one was even here. I highly recommend Joshua!”

“Great experience with Katie. Dogs loved her, very professional and kept our minds at ease while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house for two nights and could not have gone smoother.”

“Rayven was a wonderful sitter for both our home and our dogs while we were on vacation. She took great care of our pets, played and cuddled with them, sent pictures and videos daily, and made sure everything was okay at the house. She is a great resource and I highly recommend her!!”

“Abbie did amazing! My dogs are my children and it was my first time leaving. When I left the anxiety was defiantly there, but Abbie was so great and took all the worry away. I was relaxed because I knew they were in great hands! Thank you Abbie you did so great! We highly recommend her!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Elmer! From the moment we connected, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos of my cat and dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Not only did he take wonderful care of my pets, but he also went above and beyond by looking after my home. When I returned, the house was even better than when I left it—clean, organized, and clearly treated with care. Elmer is truly one of a kind: trustworthy, responsible, and 100% reliable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. He’s the best!”


“Neysha and her husband Teddy took great care of our fur babies. Lots of pictures and lots of updates while we were away. They got lots of love and attention and we look forward to engaging Neysha again.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, from big, small, old and young. I have always watched my families and friends dogs and other pets. I’ve lived and worked with all kinds of animals. I also worked in a vet clinic for about 5 years and I also have worked in Petco for about 4years. I do have a full time job, but someone is home to help out with your fur baby. But Your pets will have all my attention when I am home and will be my main priority. I have a fenced in 8.5 acre yard. I live on a farm so I do have cows, and a horse. Your pet would have lots of room to run and play.
About: I do not remember a time where my family did not have dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I can remember and currently have a dog of my own. She has been one of the best things that has happened to me and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I love dogs and would enjoy being around them all of the time. It sounds like the best job ever! It makes my day so much better when I come home to my dogs and I definitely understand how important dogs are and how much of a difference they can have in a persons life. Since I got a dog who I called my own I wouldn't trade her for the world. I have moved to a different state for school and unfortunately could not bring my dog with me. I would love to spend time with your fur babies and treat them as my own! I am currently going to school full time, therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule that will allow me to spend quality time with your pups! I am in an apartment with a balcony, but my apartment does have a “dog park on site” with some room to run and get some energy out.
“Kaitlyn did a fantastic job. We had an older dog and a very hyper puppy and she was so good with both. She sent updates and pictures. We would use her again in a second.”

“Antonnette is the BEST! She has dog/house sat for us twice and we’ve already booked her for future sits. She is awesome at sending updates/pics and such a pleasant, trustworthy person. Antonnette is always willing to go the extra mile to make our dog feel secure and happy as well as looking after our home. She loves on our dog like he’s her own and we are so appreciative that when we are away from home that our boy is happy and healthy. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Our pets are part of our family. Honestly, in our home, they’re more like our children, so entrusting someone new to care for them is always nerve-wracking. Between supplements mixed into meals, automatic Surefeed feeders, and a Litter-Robot setup, there’s a bit of a learning curve—but Demang and Shirley handled everything flawlessly, as if they’d known our cats forever. From the moment they met, it was clear that Demang and Shirley have a special gift with animals—a calm, intuitive presence that puts even the most anxious pet at ease. Our shy, skittish cat (who normally takes days to trust anyone) warmed up to them almost instantly. And our other cat, who loves attention, couldn’t get enough of their affection and playtime. When we returned home, the funniest thing happened. Our cats barely lifted their heads to greet us once they realized it wasn’t Demang and Shirley walking through the door! That says everything about how loved, secure, and happy they felt while we were away. It’s rare to find people who care for your pets with the same genuine love, attentiveness, and joy that you do, but that’s exactly who Demang and Shirley are. They’re true animal whisperers, and I feel incredibly grateful to have found them. I plan to use them for all our future cat care needs!”

Iowa Colony pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah saved the day for me this past weekend and was able to pet sit for my cat and foster kittens at the last minute. Hannah went above and beyond to make sure that all three kitties were happy and well-taken care of - she even cleaned up when the kittens made their own mess and washed their bowls and plates. She was communicative, flexible, and understanding. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to make sure that their pets are in safe hands.
