Our dogs are a bit of a handful and Ash did a great job! They got lots of love and attention and we felt very safe with her here. Would definitely recommend!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.

Samantha was incredibly good, loving, and empathic with our elderly dog. I could tell by photos and videos how happy our dog was to visit with Samantha. Samantha was also a great communicator and put our minds at ease when we were away.

We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Lexie is great! She always responds to messages right away, arrives on time to check on my pets, and keeps me updated with pictures. She took the time to get to know my shy cat and make sure she ate her food while she was there. I definitely trust her to take good care of my animals when I’m gone!

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

About: We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had my own dog for 4 years. I love being around dogs and want to show yours as much love as I show my own. I work from home 2-3 days a week. I’m also available for overnight boarding depending on the night and weekends. Just ask if I’m available! I have a fenced in backyard. Your dog is welcome on beds and furniture. My house and property is very dog friendly for all types.

About: Growing up, I had almost every pet that you could legally have in Iowa. Snakes ✅ Iguanas ✅ Geckos ✅ Turtles ✅ Hermit crabs ✅ Guinea Pigs ✅ Hamsters ✅ Hedgehogs ✅ and of course, dogs and cats. My love for animals surpasses my love for most things and you can trust that I will treat your pet as my own no matter their temperament. I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 11 years old and would consider myself dependable and reliable. I’m currently a student at UNI with a part time job, so pet care in my daily routine would manifest into daily walks, potty breaks, overnight stays, or even just providing your animal company for a couple of hours in the day. I do not live somewhere now that allows pets, so I would travel to take care of your pet. I can stay with the for 1-2 hours to keep them company, feed them, walk them, or stay overnight if needed.
