Pet care experience

Animals are my best friends!

Growing up, my parents ensured I was surrounded by animals as much as possible! We always had dogs growing up. Since I was an out-of-state student in college, I began Rover to be able to connect with pets near me. I now live in Iowa City, as I attend Graduate School at the University of Iowa. My girlfriend and I just adopted a cat, so I am also gaining experience with cats!!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home I have a very big backyard where we can go out and play and I have a fenced in patio where we can hang out at outdoors. We can always go inside as well as my house is spacious.

Piers is a fantastic pet caregiver! He is responsible, attentive, and truly caring. His love for animals is evident in the way he provides personalized care, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's walks, playtime, or simply keeping pets company, Piers has always gone above and beyond to meet their needs. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
