Cat Sitting in Iowa Hill

“Brie did a terrific job. Our cat was well looked after. We had an issue with our alarms, but she notified us immediately. This was our first time using Rover. I was impressed with the app and getting the notifications and updates. Would recommend Brie and Rover.”

“Remi is a wonderful care taker. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the right person to care for my senior dog. She even visited with my gecko. Remi will be my go-to person for future needs. I strongly recommend her!”

“This was the first time we used Rover. We were very pleased with Cari’s care for our little OHSO. We appreciated the daily photos and the attention Cari gave her. We will definitely be using Rover again and asking for Cari”

About: I am a compassionate life long animal lover. I’ve worked in animal hospitals with large boarding facilities, as the lead kennel technician, as well as being a veterinary assistant. I spent my days playing with and caring for other people's animals. I am able to give medications and tend to special needs animals. Though I left my hospital job when I moved here at the beginning of the pandemic, I've chosen to continue to work with animals because it is something that comes naturally to me & I feel that it's important to love what you do. I look forward to meeting new furry friends! I now have a fairly open schedule so I am mostly free to work with new clients to meet their pets needs and keep a consistent routine 💜 I am happy to hang out and get cozy with animals that aren’t up to outside playtime, and I love being outside with those that do have more energy! My parents currently have a puppy and I visit daily to have play time and help wear him out a bit (bc it’s so fun!).

“She was reliable and cared about our cat. I would recommend her.”

“Ahh Ashley you are amazing! I wish I could take yo with me to San Diego. Every day it was so fun to see the pictures and the videos! You went above and beyond and our cats love you just as much as we do. Thank you so so much and I hope you get to pet and play with many other pets.”

About: Having to leave my own dogs at home while I'm at work, I understand the struggle. I will give your furry friend the care and attention that they miss while you are away. I'm a professional horse farrier. When I'm not out shoeing horses I'm always training my own dogs or friends dogs. I have always had a love for dog walking and spending quality time with animals. If I'm not shoeing horses, I will be available to your furry friends. I currently am part time and get a new schedule once a week. Contact me and I'll let you know what days I can come out. As I have said before, I understand the struggle, stress and worry of leaving your pet at home while you're at work. I have fully experienced with my own dogs especially in our high fire danger area. I will give your critters love and attention while you are away.

About: I love and have kept dogs of all breeds and ages. I know when to cuddle, discipline, give space and to administer medications when needed. I have a very flexible schedule we both can work with. My work allows me to make my own schedule so I have time to devote to something I love to do. I have two dogs over 10 years old, and I walk a golden pup. I know what’s needed for their best care by communicating with their vet and doing my own research.

“Meaghan is a great pet sitter. My cat was happy when we returned and the house was clean and orderly. I would definitely like to have Meaghan pet sit again.”

About: I grew up around dogs my entire life, we’ve always had various pets in our household from bunnies, rats, ferrets to German Shepard’s, pit bulls and chihuahuas. I’m always home on the weekends, usually just chilling in bed watching movies, or go for a nice walk on the beach or in downtown. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! *Please do not book with me if your dog cannot be left alone during the day. I work from 6a-3p during the week and I have a small apartment so I cannot have them barking the entire time I’m gone. Thank you for understanding* I do work during the weekdays but I work close to my home so I can always come home on my lunch to give midday potty breaks if needed. I have a consistent schedule and am usually home by 3/4pm. Dogs are kept separated when I am not home and I also have 24/7 camera on my apartment so I can always keep an eye on the dogs when I’m not there.

“Molly has been a great resource for when I don't want to leave my puppy in her crate for the whole day. Will continue to use her when needed!!”

I have a big fenced yard at home! When i’m taking care of other fur babies I make sure they eat their food and drink their water! I also play with them each time I go over and spend a minimum of an hour to make sure they are happy! I love meeting new furry friends!

“Cynthia did an excellent job. We were able to enjoy our vacation because she provides dependable care. She followed all of our instructions. We will use her services again.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, goats, and even more exotic pets in both urban homes and rural off-grid environments. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or administering medicine, I treat every animal as a unique being with their own personality and needs. Friends and community members often turn to me for pet care because they know I genuinely love and respect animals as soulful companions. As an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule, I’m available for daytime visits, overnight stays, and extended care. I work remotely and manage my own hours, so I can easily tailor my availability to your pet’s routine—including last-minute needs or irregular schedules. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I offer a calm, loving, and secure environment where your animals can feel safe and at ease. I take time to learn your pet’s specific needs, preferences, and routines to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in your absence. I’m attentive to behavioral cues and quick to adapt to ensure trust is never broken. Whether we’re enjoying outdoor play or snuggling indoors, I create a grounded and peaceful space for them to thrive.

“Took very good care of my 3 kitties. 1 of them is quite shy and he warmed up to her. 1 of them needs an inhaler daily, she did well with that. The boys all loved her. Communicates well, is friendly and trustworthy. I highly recommend.”

“Mikayla did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. During our meet and great she also met my dog and was very knowledgeable about behavior. Very pleased!”

About: We got our first family dog when I was five and I’ve loved dogs ever since! I regularly pet sit and house sit for friends, family, and people I've caregive for. It's been one of the best jobs I've ever had. I've spent a lot of time around puppies so I do have some skills in puppy training and use positive reinforcement with treats as my personal preference for training. I also have a lot of experience with cats and have one myself. I really love taking pictures/photography so I'll be sure to send you quality pictures of your fur babies while I'm with them! I do pet sitting/house sitting part time but my schedule is really flexible since I work mainly from home. I'm free most weekdays and weekends! More than likely, I will walk your dog in your neighborhood. But I do love to go on long walks/hikes so if you're open to doing a 60 minute walk or over night stay, I'll make sure to take your dog somewhere fun whether it's to a local dog park or to the river!

“Having someone visit and feed the cat daily was a relief for us. Even though the cat didn’t make an appearance every day the food disappeared so we knew he was there. Just a bit shy and hid on Sheriane most days. This was much less stressful on Charcoal than going to a kennel. Sheriane checked in and kept us updated. 100% would use Rover and Sheriane again. Thank you”

“Aspen provided consistent and thoughtful care. She communicated regularly and without being asked, brought in a package that was delivered a day early before I got home from my trip.”
