About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m an experienced and dependable pet lover with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently have one cat of my own, but I grew up with both big and small dogs, as well as indoor and outdoor cats—so I’m very comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. While I now work as a server and bartender, I’ve always made time for animals. During college, I volunteered regularly at the local animal shelter, where I walked a wide variety of dogs. That experience taught me a lot about leash and harness handling, and gave me the skills to confidently care for dogs with different energy levels and personalities. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your pup, check in on your cat, or just give your pets some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like my own and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and reliable care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently I work part time, which does give me more time to help out with your babies! My only “guaranteed” times off are Tuesday afternoons and Sundays, which is when I could be available for recurring bookings. Otherwise, I get my schedule for the next week on Friday afternoons, which means I can book one-times about a week out. Every pet in my care is treated like family - with kindness, attention, and genuine love. Whether I’m on a walk or watching them at home, I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m big on cuddles, playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, always making sure they’re comfortable and cared for like they’re my own.

“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.”

About: I would consider myself very experienced when it comes to caring for animals. I worked at a dog kennel where meeting and caring for all kinds of dogs was my everyday life. From the calm ones who need medication to the hyper ones who need an outlet, I was always happy to have the privilege of caring for them. At the kennel I did feeding, medications, play, doggy day care, and had many more responsibilities. I also have also taken my love for dogs to another level by fostering rescues. This is something that brings me so much joy, especially when they start out timid and I get to watch them come out of their shell. I recently adopted a puppy which has been so exciting! Unfortunately for the safety of his health this means I had to pause fostering. I think caring for your animals will help fill that hole in my life! HOUSE SITTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to having a puppy of my own I cannot do overnight stays. I absolutely can stay with your dogs throughout the day with a couple of breaks to take care of my own puppy. I am a full time employee for a flower shop typically working 8-3. If I gain clientele who are seeking availability during the day I am willing to switch to night shift but do not want to do so until I gain interest. As of now I am allowed long breaks so if you would like someone to care for your pet at lunch time I can. I would prefer to take clients after 3 PM. Please feel free to check in with me as my days off are varied! I treat all pets with the love and respect they deserve. I will do my best to always understand your pets boundaries and to earn their trust to give them all my love!

“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”

About: I have lots of puppy care experience, and I know how to take care of all types of breeds. I will make sure your animals are loved and treated like family! I’m currently looking for a full time job, so I am able to give your animals the care and attention they need throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of space, so I can accommodate a lot of different animals. Also a huge outside area where they can do their business and play!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was very young. Later in life, neighbors and professors would ask me to dog sit or dog walk when they were unable to do so. Taking care of dogs is something I enjoy and would like to do more often. I am currently working on Mondays through Thursdays at 11-8:30 but I will always be able to work around it to spend time with my furry friends. At the moment me and my family are housing a puppy that is a year old. We have a fenced in yard for her to run around and she eats well crafted food to keep her energy and health up.

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

“Brittany was wonderful with Dixie, making sure she was using the litter box! She'd check for poops and pees, because Dixie's on medication for both issues. She would contact me regularly with texts and pictures! I could see Dixie playing with the laser red dot and other toys! When I arrived home, it was clear that Dixie had been well taken care of! Brittany is a professional! I would recommend Brittany! And I'd hire her again! Thank you, Lynne”

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.

About: I am passionate about giving my pets the love and care they deserve and require. Pets are a huge commitment and sometimes that means you need someone else to come in and help take care of them! I have four cats of my own, all varying ages and temperaments, that are so spoiled. I also have cared for dogs, but I am passionate about my feline friends! I work full time from 7am-5pm Monday through Thursday, so I’m a great option for a weekend sitter or evenings/overnights. I am willing to come early in the morning as well! I have a fenced in yard, as well as multiple rooms that I can keep your pet in with the door closed if you’d like them to be away from my cats. If I am in your home, I will respect your space and follow any boundaries you may set.

About: With lots of pets in the family, im proud to be the go-to sitter! I specialize in chihuahuas of all ages and disabled pets (amputees, deaf or blind), and I love the opportunity to care for unique or mixed breeds. I have experience training puppies and midlife dogs, and have owned and cared for senior pooches. No teeth? No problem! My off days leave me bored and the best way to remedy that is to play with some sweet critters. My Sunday morning workouts could use a running buddy! While we don't have a private yard, there is still lots of grassy areas and a larger field just a short walk from my apartment. My small rodents have made it a necessity to pet proof our home, meaning there's no worry of your furry friend getting into something they shouldn't. I'm always good to clean up accidents when they do happen and I'm very careful to adhere to special diets (the more detailed the better).

About: I have a 12 yr old Shih Tzu since I was 6 years old!! He’s my best friend and I take care of him. In high school I volunteered at our local animal shelter and still donate to rescue animals and dogs in need. I always lend a hand to dogs and would totally pick a night in with dogs any day of the week! I’m currently a part-time college student so I have time to hangout with your pup! I offer house sitting (Su/F/Sa), drop-in visits (M/W/Th) and dog walking (Th/Fr)! My schedule during these days are pretty flexible! Since I can’t select times on Rover please contact me for exact times I’m available. Since I’m in college I currently live in an apartment with 3 other girls. They are very sweet and love dogs. At the clients home, I always make sure I know where everything that I might need is before they leave.

About: I have been caring for pets for most my life, I grew up in what my mom liked to call our “zoo.” Growing up I had dogs, cats, fish, snakes, rabbits, chinchillas, geckos, frogs and birds so I have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and many more as well. I would be willing to walk animals and pet sit for you, provide companionship while you are at work or away for the a long day and go feed them if need be as well. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is the immense love I have for animals and how I will care/love your pets the way you would and the way the really deserve. I have experience with elderly animals, large dogs and multiple pets as well so age/size or number is not an issue for me. I hope you consider letting me be your sitter or walker! I work from home 3/5 days of the week and have Sundays and mondays off work! I love animas and would be happy to help out! I know what it’s like to have someone new come into your home to take care of your fur babies and I promise I will always be very respectful of you home and take the best care of your pets! Just as you would :)

About: I have a bachelor's degree in animal science with a pre-veterinary emphasis and have worked in a vet clinic for 2+ years. Through clinic work and dog sitting, I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and health concerns/issues! I am available seven days a week to entertain, tire-out, and love your furry friends! I am also available most holidays. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, a quick potty break, or extended care, I provide reliable and loving attention. Flexible scheduling is always available to meet your pet’s unique needs and routine! Whether your pet needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or extensive time spent with them, I am here to deliver! As a an experienced pet owner and veterinary assistant/tech, I understand that each pet is unique in their needs and care. With thorough communication, trust, attention to detail, and care, your pet is in great hands with me!

About: I’ve been watching friends and family pets for about 15 years now. Enjoy playing with dogs and cats alike. Experience from 1 year old puppies to 10+ year old dogs. I am available most weekends along with Fridays and Mondays. I’m always running errands in the community and can provide drop in services at this time. :) I have a puppy that is 3 years old and loves making new friends. We would provide services in your home multiple times a day

About: Hi! I’m Angela :) a nursing student with a lifelong love for dogs. I’ve grown up around them and currently have two of my own, Sophie and Cooper, who are truly part of the family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. With my flexible schedule, I’m committed to providing consistent, high quality care. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of routines, and always happy to send updates so you can feel at ease. 😺🐶Your dog’s well being is my top priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I schedule dedicated time for walks, playtime, and feeding to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my client's home, I focus on providing personalized care based on the pet's needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and ensuring they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have dog sat for friends, family members and coworkers for many years! I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. Love them all! I have a fairly flexible job so most days can get away mid day to let out animals. With enough notice I can do overnight stays as well. I would feel most comfortable caring for your pet in a familiar environment to them. That way they are most comfortable and don’t have to adapt to a new person and a new environment simultaneously!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up surrounded by cats and dogs. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and simply spending time with your sweet friend. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Including pups who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’ll do my best to create a calm and comforting environment. I’m happy to stick to their routine, give extra snuggles, or just sit with them quietly if that’s what helps them feel safe. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured while you’re away. Right now, I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I currently work in the ICU at the U of Iowa about 24 hours a month and will soon be working an additional 8 hours a week at another hospital. I’ll also be starting nursing school in the fall, but outside of that, I’ll mainly be home and available. Whether you need help with daily care or overnight stays, I’m happy to come to your home to feed, walk, play with, or simply keep your pet company. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own.
