“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.”


“Exceptional care! She is super thorough, follows routines and needs of the owner (and dog) and provides a lot of support and care! I am very happy to have her sit for my Bruitus.”


“Macy did great with Jake. He was well taken care off and happy when I got back. All my instructions were followed and she brought in my packages for me which is a plus! 😄 Would definitely rebook!”


“I’d highly recommend Stacy to take care of your dog! She took such amazing care of Wrigley while I was away. I could tell she genuinely loves animals. Wrigley was happy and well-exercised with a couple walks every day even in the cold weather and snow. She kept me updated with tons of pictures and messages, and was flexible and quick to respond. The house was the same way I left it when I returned. Thank you, I’ll definitely be booking again!”


“I’m so glad to have found Daisy. My dog Charlotte looks forward to her visits and it has taken a huge amount of stress off me. It’s my first time using rover and I can’t recommend it enough”


About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have gained extensive hands-on experience and know exactly how to take good care of them. I love animals and enjoy taking them on long walks, playing with them, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I currently work part-time at Brekky’s coffee shop, where we always close in the afternoons. So, after 3:00 PM, I am always available to walk dogs. My schedule varies weekly — sometimes I work early mornings and can’t walk dogs beforehand, while other times I start later and have more free time. Because my schedule changes frequently, daily communication would work best for me. I’m very flexible and responsive when it comes to updating and managing those changes I have a fenced yard — it’s small but secure, perfect for dogs to play in. I live right behind Morningside University, which gives me access to many great places to walk dogs. I share a house with my boyfriend and roommates; we have separate rooms in the basement, providing plenty of space for dogs to stay overnight comfortably..

About: I have 2 rescue cats, 1 rescue dog, and a one-eyed puggle. I am currently dog sitting for a small dog until July, the three of us walk daily. I owned a lab who had epilepsy, administered his meds daily. I have provided care for friends and families animals, including dogs, cats, and other outside animals. I currently work away from home every Wednesday. I also have a parttime job where I work from home, with flexible hours. I would be available for services with flexible hours. I have a fenced yard, my dogs get along well with other dogs, and they are friendly with my cats. My rescue dog is skittish around people, but she has not had issues with other dogs or cats. I have given meds to my animals. I have crated my dogs, currently only crate the small dog I am dog sitting for when I leave.

About: I am a passionate, dedicated, loving animal caretaker. I foster dogs and cats that are in need of a temporarily home. From June 2018 to current I have fostered 20 dogs and 50 cats for a non profit organization. I have fostered dogs and cats that are in desire need of medical attention. One of my own late dogs was born with his legs fused together and is in a wheelchair. He was 100% dependable on me to get him in and out of his chair to eat, drink, etc. I take weekly visits to the shelters in town to take dogs out so they get exercise, each dog in the shelter gets a treat that I purchase myself. I believe in giving every animal a chance to be able to live their best life possible. I love my current dogs and past fosters very much. Some fosters still visit me while their parents are on vacations. I treat every animal as if they were mine. Our animals are allowed on the couch, bed, whereever they are most comfortable. All my animals are dog and cat friendly. I have a privacy fenced backyard where your pet would be able to run, play, and exercise. I love to spoil animals with love, attention, and treats. I am home all day besides 15 minutes a day when I pick my 8 year old daughter up from school. I will be home at all times with your pet giving them the attention and love they deserve. Animals are allowed on all our furniture and will be 100% spoiled. I have a privacy fenced in backyard. Depending on the size of the animal if they are kennel trained I may already have an appropriate size kennel. If they require a certain type of kennel you may be asked to bring it. If caring for your animal in your home I would just ask for an email/or text explaining any special needs your animal requires.

About: I’m a medical assistant for my day job. I’ve taken care of friends, coworker, and family pets in the past and love every second of it. I spend most of my time either at home or outside with my three dogs. I’m looking for extra cash and the chance to meet other furry little friends not only for myself, but my dogs as well. I’ll treat your babies like I do mine as if they are family. Any questions just ask me :) I hope I get to watch you fur babies Looking to do drop ins and walks only at this time. I take care of my girls so what’s a few more throughout my day. I care for all animals as if they’re family. Slow introductions are best so everyone feels safe and trusting. Then once I gain trust give them all the loves they would want.

“Brianna was awesome! Our girls got sick right before a big trip and she was able to meet with us very soon so that we could be scheduled! She responded fast to any messages and sent many pictures of my dogs! She really helped put my mind at ease as this was our first time using rover and it was a long trip! I would highly recommend booking with her! Our dogs had to take medicine twice a day and our German Shepard was in heat, she took care of everything!”


About: Growing up on a farm, I have taken care of various animals. I am a huge animal lover, and have my own dog and 2 cats. I have a very flexible schedule for the next few months and through the summer. I am available nearly all times of the day and can cater to special requests. I am flexible with care, depending on the client and animal's needs. I will be home with the animals or can spend extra time with any animals you may have.

“Stasha was absolutely amazing! She sent multiple pictures (5-8) each day she did a drop-in visit and kept me updated throughout the whole visit. We did a meet and greet beforehand to just meet each other and get my kittens used to the scent of her. My rescue kitten from a horrible home, who typically needs some time to warm up to people, went right up to her and started rubbing her legs. I will definitely be booking with Stasha again. My kittens seemed to love her and she was very accommodating when it came to the complicated way to get into my apartment. Great experience!”


About: I own my own pet care business and am also insured! :) I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so if your request is during the week he will be with me. I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a child. I have experience with all different kinds of breeds, ages, and personality types! I am familiar with fear-reactive dogs and don’t get intimidated by any breed. Husband says I can’t get anymore animals, so this is my happy compromise! I have 4 rescue pups of my own and a three-year-old, so I’m always up for an adventure! 🙃🐕🐈⬛ I’m a business owner and stay-at-home mom who loves all animals! My schedule is flexible! I have plenty of experience with furry animals- dogs and cat obviously. I’ve also owned chinchillas, rats, crested and leopard geckos, and ball pythons. So, if you happen to have any of those I’m happy to help too! I will abide by your recommendations and rules for your pets! After all, YOU know your babies best. I own 4 dogs of my own and I know how hard it is to trust someone. You will be the first to know if something has gone awry, and if I don’t know an answer I’m not afraid to ask!

About: I am great with dogs. I absolutely love them and will keep them occupied and above all, happy. Trips to the off leash dog park happen often and snuggles are always appreciated. I love to run, play fetch, give belly rubs and teach new tricks. I will make sure each of your pups gets real one on one time and maybe learn a new trick to impress mom/dad!! I hope you contact me to take care of precious pups while you have to be away from them. I’m very excited to meet them! I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time for your pups! My schedule at work changes weekly so scheduling may be a couple hours off. A weeks notice is best to ensure prompt service. I have a very easy going attitude. I am calm and alert. Your pets 100% care is of the utmost importance to me. Potty breaks happen immediately upon arrival and love, play, and attention is never held back. I hope to become a great friend to your pet and they will be eager to see me again!

She made sure Luna was not allergic to anything and she would always call me when she takes Luna a bath. Angelina knows that Luna hates taking bath's. I’m thankful she just not a friend but the perfect pet sitter you can ask for.”
