“Amanda was wonderful! It's the first time I've used Ro er and she made the experience easy and stress free. I was able to enjoy my weekend knowing she was checking on my cat.”
“My cat had a wonderful week! Thanks for your great care!”
“Gillian has watched my cats multiple times this year and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s always lets me know when she’s planning on being there and she takes the best pictures. All of my cats have medical issues and she’s always ready to get them their medicine when they need it. I used to be so anxious leaving my cats for any period of time but when they have Gillian all the anxiety has gone away, especially since I can tell she loves my boys as if they were her own.”
“Camryn has always been an amazing person to work with. We had a mishap with our schedule and she was extremely flexible. We are lucky to have Camryn take care of our little cat.”
“Mia did a great job with our little one with the drop in visits :) she spent some time with her as well which is nice since we booked it for every other day while we were gone. Overall, I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Carol was extremely flexible with our last minute adjustments due to weather and it was very comforting to know Thistle was being taken care of while we were away. Carol will definitely be our first choice when looking for a pet sitter! Thank you!!”

About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I work a 1st shift full time job currently. My routine and been built to accommodate my own pets needs, enrichement. It has been pretty easy to include other kids into this routine successfully. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.
“Sonja was terrific! She stayed with our cat Jingle for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. She communicated well, sent photo updates, cleaned house, watered plants and cleaned up Jingle’s, umm, dead critters in the house! She went above and beyond what was expected and I would recommend her whole heartedly!! Thanks, Sonja😍”

About: I'm a recently graduated librarian looking for a job. In the meantime, I'm flexibly available for all petsitting and house sitting needs.

I live on the west side of Iowa City but I have a reliable car to get to work. This is moonlighting until I get a job as a librarian but could potentially last longer. My apartment building has a large dog park where we could hang out during the day. I have a middle aged cat named Toby who is shy but gets along well otherwise I was on hiatus for Rover for a long time but now have open availability and would love to care for your dogs and cats I follow safety precautions with every pet.

I have been around animals nearly my whole life and I would love to help take care of your fur babies while you are away! I work full time but I am available before and after work and most weekends.

“Katlin was great as always. She responds quickly and keeps us posted on how our cats are doing. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched! (Pun intended) Your preferences and concerns will always be the forefront of discussions on how I will care for your beloved fur baby. I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!
About: Growing up on a farm in Iowa I have taken care of dogs, cats and many other animals for as long as I can remember. I have a lot of experience from working for family and neighbors and will keep your pets safe, happy and healthy. I am currently working full time with Colorado Parks and Wildlife but will have most weekends available, as well as some weekdays when working from home. I will also be available for holidays. While at your home, I will keep everything clean and tidy, making sure every job is done well. I am also extremely careful to be sure that your pets are kept safe during all activities.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up showing horses and cattle. I currently have Scottish highland cows, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients. I love animals more than people most days. :) Being around any kind of animal is my happy place. When in college, I worked for Apple Creek Kennel in Marion, IA. I’m very approachable and easy to talk to. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I will work with you if price or schedule doesn’t line up. I work from home MOST days. If I’m not home, I’m usually not too far away. I make my own schedule so I’m able to be somewhat flexible. I’m a crop insurance adjuster full time and usually the busiest times of the year for me are around planting (May-June) and harvest (Sept-Dec). Please be mindful about how far apart we live. If we do live 20+ miles apart and you need me to care for your pet 4 times a day, that’s a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of driving time and gas for that day, on top of my full time job. I do my best not to over-commit myself and I am very upfront and honest about my schedule for the time frames requested. My full time job takes priority but I will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet(s) if my schedule allows. 🥰 I have a 5ft fenced yard. I will care for your animals specifically as I’m told and will do what is safest and most secure for your animal.
About: I have been taking care of pets since since I was a little kid.. I will care for your pet with my life and take very good care of them I worked part time so I would be able to watch your pet on the weekdays it's if you contact me in advance and Some weekends if you contact me a month in advance I have a big yard Lots of room for your puppy to run around and have fun. I also have a car so I can transport them if I need to.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a little girl, up until he passed away at 14, so I’ve learned a lot about dogs. I’ve also helped plenty of my friends with their dogs, especially my close relatives and their three Aussies in the past three years. I’ve helped with potty training them, as well as feeding, watering, walking, playing ball with them. I’ve also helped with two litters of puppies! I do not have a job currently so I have much free time to spend with dogs and cats! I like to volunteer on Wednesdays and occasionally have dance that night too, and Sundays I have church in the morning, so I’m very free. I am very adaptable, and willing to work with all sorts of dogs to make sure they’re happy and safe! I am a bit of a perfectionist and I will definitely make sure that the things you ask of me get done to your standard, as I want to make you and your pets happy!
“Shelly is Awesome! You couldn’t ask for a more reliable and attentive caregiver! I highly recommend her. She cared for my two kitties, both are very old and fragile and I felt confident that they were well cared for!”
