“Jamie was exceptional! Her communication was great. I can tell she really enjoys taking care of animals! She took great care of our dogs and was so kind! Always giving a daily report with pictures included! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Des was wonderful! Even when the garage code wasn't working and the house heating was acting up, she was diligent to keep me informed and resolve issues. She is a 10 out of 10! Our normally distrustful cats warmed up to her and looked forwarded to her visits.”
“Kirsten was able to drop in twice with a short notice for my two pups. She sent fun pictures and updates while she was checking on them. She was super quick to respond and we will definitely request her again!”
“Ashley was able to help us out all week while we were at work. She took our puppy out a few times to potty, got her something to eat/drink and played with her for a few minutes before she went back in her crate. We appreciate her help so much.!”
“Raquel was great at communicating and taking care of Sage! We knew our girl was in good hands while we were away. Raquel took Sage for a walk, played with toys, and made sure she went potty. We appreciate it and will definitely reach back out to Raquel next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Nicky was amazing with my cat Julian! She was willing to help out when I needed to make a last minute booking and she updated me often on how Julian was doing! Definitely will be booking again! :)”
“Meranda did an awesome job with my cat! She left thoughtful messages every day about how he was doing and what they did together. She gave him lots of attention and even indulged him speaking with her through buttons!”
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn and I have 20+ years of experience caring for pets! I’ve helped family, neighbors and friends with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. My experience has provided insight into how to comfortably care for most pets! I have a flexible work schedule to fit the unique needs of your pet, including walks over the lunch hour or care over the weekend. I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood with very walkable sidewalks. I’m getting familiar with the dog parks in the area and am always looking for a recommendation!
About: I am comfortable with all dog breeds and temperaments, including high-energy breeds such as German Shepherds. I have had senior and medically complex dogs, and currently work in the medical field so I am comfortable with medical care. I enjoy training and playing with pups, and would be so excited to meet yours! I work full-time during the week, but can adjust my schedule to let pets out every 8 hours. I am happy to do walks before or after work, and can dedicate more time on the weekends. I am available for pet sitting any night. I will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable in the way that works for them - are they clingy? Need a little space and time to get comfortable? Treat motivated or praise motivated? I will always be respectful of your pet and your space and ask you what that means to you!
About: My house runs on cat hair and Alaskan Klee Kai energy — Annie, Mr. Darcy, and Benni keep me well-trained. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting. I'll follow your routine or adapt to your pet's needs. Adept at medication administration, including injections. You'll hear from me — photos, texts, video updates, FaceTime if you just need to see their face. I'm easy to reach and big on communication. My cancellation policy is as flexible as possible, because schedules change and I understand that. Available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. All breeds, all sizes, all personalities welcome. Your pet's in good hands — Benni can vouch. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine, not an afterthought. I'm consistently available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. When I'm with your pet, I'm actually present. My time is theirs; they're the point. Spending time with your pets is a privilege. Your home is your pet's comfort zone. I stick to what works for them — their space, their schedule, their quirks. I'm a careful observer, so if something seems off behaviorally or physically, I'll flag it rather than wait and see. I'm attentive to behavioral changes or anything that seems off, and I'm comfortable managing medications, including injections, so pets with medical needs are always welcome. The goal is simple: your pet feels safe, and so do you.
“Hollea was wonderful with Archie and Chesna! It was her first visit and the dogs loved her as soon as she walked in the door. We are looking forward to having her take care of them several times next week.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of various ages for about 2 years at the client's home. I've done baths, taken them on walks, outside to go potty, of course feeding and giving all the treats! I work in Cedar Rapids so I'm only able to do mid day check ins in that area. If you aren't in the Cedar Rapids area I can do morning and evening/night check ins. I am able to stay overnight at your home as well if needed. I provide care at the client's home. I am able to come for a drop in visit and hang out with your pet for a short time or I'm able to come and stay for the night, weekend, or longer if needed.
“Anna is a professional, a great communicator and clearly knows what she’s doing. She has a great attitude, good judgment, and is someone you can trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: I provide attentive, loving care for both dogs and cats, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m patient, dependable, and take the time to learn every pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I currently work full-time. I would be available to walk/feed/play during the weekdays after work for a couple of hours. I have more time on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) for feedings, walks, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, etc. to make sure pets get the time and care they need. I would be able to care for pets in your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every home. I follow all care instructions closely and take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and comfort level. My goal is to make the pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos.
“Sara was so kind and accommodating when we had last minute schedule changes, which was much appreciated. Her rover cards were very thorough and helped assuage my anxiety knowing that my cat was acting normal - she also took some very sweet photos!”

Hollea was extremely dedicated to providing the best care for our cat. Our visit was a bit complicated as Bella required medication twice a day and Hollea was able to accomplish this with ease. She kept us well informed and is truly just a delightful person. I highly recommend her to care for your pet as you can be assured it is in wonderful hands!
I asked Brianna to feed my two cats and give them some love & attention when I had to head out of town last-minute and she did an amazing job! I sent her detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly with no hiccups. She sent me great photos and spent time playing with both cats. When I got home both cats were calm and happy. I would definitely book with Brianna again.
Brooke is fabulous! She is warm, personable, caring and extremely responsible. She did a terrific job visiting and playing with our 3 year old cat. She also had to deal with an unwelcome visitor in our garage... a big raccoon. She was calm, cool and collected and got the"guest" out without incident. She is top of our list! A+++
Destiny was awesome watching our 3 cats while we were away. This was our first time using the Rover app and Destiny was perfect. She provided pictures and a short description after each visit giving us updates and piece of mind that our cats were safe while we were away.
Brittany was so amazing!! Truly went above and beyond at each visit and even took my buddy on an emergency trip to the vet after getting into some trouble without any hesitation. Brittany was the best sitter Cannoli has had thus far and I plan to consider her as my first choice for future trips.
Natalie visited our kitty for the Thanksgiving weekend, she was great! Friendly and easy to communicate with. She ensured we had back up care due to the winter storm and even when we did, Natalie made it through the snow to have her last visit which we really appreciated. Will definitely book again!
