“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of Jake while I was away. She took the time to come a get acclimated with him before the booking and made sure he had a great time while I was away.”


“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.”



“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 love taking dogs on long walks and understand how important it is for them to get outside and stay active. I'm a very active person myself, so regular walks are no problem for me. I’d be happy to take dogs to places like Bacon Creek or explore other great walking spots. I'm originally from Boulder Colorado, where I grew up hiking with my dogs, it’s one of my absolute favorite things to do!😁 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’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: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.

“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 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!

About: I love animals as if they are my own kids. I can promise you that your pet/pets will be safe with me and will love me. I work full time M-F but can fit schedule into mine. Let’s give it a go. If it doesn’t work I am sure we can figure something out. I don’t currently have pets of my own so I would have to use your kennel but I do have a big back yard. They will have fun.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs including extra large dogs. I love dogs of all ages...especially puppies. I have taken care of dogs that had disabilities/movement issues. I believe that dogs should be treated like people and be loved as much as possible because all they want to do is make people happy. I am a dog mom and have two wonderful, but crazy Labrador Retrievers. They are my kids and I would do anything for them. I'm looking to do this at least part time, but hopefully full time. I have a full time job right now, so my schedule is a little flexible right now and my weekends are usually open. I treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own. I treat them with care, respect, and lots of love. I am very patient and I care for each dog individually because they all have different levels of need.

About: I have grown up with many different dogs and they are family. I currently have a labradoodle named Bailey and a golden retriever named Mack! I work part time 8 hour shifts and on my days off I would love to have something to do! I am very flexible and willing to make anything work! I have two dogs that are very friendly and playful. I also live on a farm that is half a mile from the road with plenty of running space for the dogs!

She inquired about specific things he liked and sent me pictures of him while I was away so I knew what a fun time he was having. She has three dogs off her own that are her babies.
