About: We are a 2 person team of Jaleah and Drew. We both grew up having dogs of many different sizes and can handle almost anything if communicated! We’d love to give your pet exercise, cuddles, or whatever they need! Drew wakes up around 5 am and will be able to take your pet out and when Jaleah wakes up around 7, they’ll go out again. Drew gets off work at 1 and will take them on a long walk. When Jaleah gets off work around 5, we usually go for another evening walk. We live in an apartment but are near many trails and even have access to a mini dog park. We are very responsible with pets. We will make sure they’re cared for and will follow any directions given to us. We have a variety of skills with dogs so there’s a good chance I can do whatever you need! We will treat your pets as if they were our own!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own family’s pets and have been the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I always treat every pet like my own. I also have a sweet, playful little dog named Butters who loves making new friends and would love a playmate! Since I work from home, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. All I ask is that they are friendly and good with small dogs :) I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day! I also have a small, friendly pup named Butters who would love having a playmate around I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether they’re lounging inside or stretching their legs outside. Pets will get my attention for the entire time I am hired.

About: I grew up as a farm girl and worked hard! I've always been around farm animals and our dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I took care of family and neighbor pets and did so also in my adult life. right Right now I'm working a couple of part time jobs. I would be available over most weekends. Once and a while over a 5 day period. I can do drop in check ups and potty breaks in middle of day and after 6 evenings. ok I would mainly be doing the sitting in the clients home as well as just stopping in for just potty breaks and well check-ups. Once in awhile I could do care in my townhome for small pets over the weekend.

Robbie and her family took great care of my pup while I was abroad for two weeks. My dog Pippa had an allergic reaction where the vet prescribed her a cone and medication right before I left. Robbie had no concerns over this last minute health change and gave me great confidence that Pippa would be well taken care of. She sent me many photos and videos while I was away of Pippa living life to the fullest. I am so glad I found her to take care of my dog.

I would absolutely book with Iyari again! She and her family were so kind, accommodating with shifting schedules for drop off/pick up, and they made my dog feel right at home the entire stay. They live on a gorgeous property with lots of space for pups to roam and play. It is not so hard being away from your pup when you know they’re in great hands.

Aly did such a great job with my two dogs. This is the first time they were left with someone other than family. She was great with communications and photos. I was nervous about leaving them for a week while on vacation out of state. I think both of them had a great time. We will definitely use her in the future.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
