“Nejra did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She was willing to come to our home to meet our cats so we could show her how we feed our diabetic one. Her drop in visits were 12 hours apart as we requested, including administering insulin each visit. She provided detail and photos twice a day and even a video of her petting. I highly recommend Nejra and we will be hiring her again!”
“Austin was very attentive to my 2 cats. He took plenty of photos and communicated with me very well. I will definitely have Austin check on my kitties again. He anleviated any and all worries that I had while traveling without my cats.”
“Caitlyn was a life saver! I had to be out of town for work, and my daughter also had to work during the day, Caitlyn was not feeling well and she still came and let my pups out. Without her, they would have been in dire straits. She was absolutely amazing and selfless. Recommend 100%”
“Briana was so incredibly kind with booking as it was my first rover booking and it was super duper last minute and in the middle of the storm. I can’t put it into words how helpful she was and how much of a lifesaver she was!”
“Grace exceeded my expectations by spending extra time with my dog and taking her for a second short walk before she had to leave. I also appreciated Grace’s communication style - always timely responses and a detailed report with pictures!”
“Jen took very good care of our 2 cats with her drop in visits twice a day. One of our cats is diabetic so she has to be fed 12 hours a part and given an injection after the feedings each time. We asked her with very short lead time and she took the time to come to our house so we could meet her and she could meet our cats before the booking. We appreciated this very much.”
“Sara did a great job of checking our cats while we were gone and worked with what seemed to be an ever-changing schedule at the end. We look forward to having her come back and check on our cats again in the future!”
“Alisa was a wonderful sitter for our two cats while we were away for 10 days. She came by every day and made sure our cats were fed and cared for and even watered a couple of our plants for us. We had zero issues while we were gone and it gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. Our cat Lucy is usually very shy and hides from strangers, but she actually stayed out for Alisa! We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter.”
“Jaron did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. He showed up on time and provided great updates for what he saw of them and how they were doing. They are not too fond of other people but our most shy cat even came out to greet him both times! Jaron was also able to stop by and meet our cats before hand to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using Jaron again for my next vacation!”
“Alyssa was very quick to respond to all correspondence and was on time for check in on our elderly dog. We had last minute plans come up and she was able to make it work. We immensely appreciate her helping us out and will definitely use her again!”
“Katie is AMAZING! We have a disabled cat, a senior cat and an easily spooked cat and she handled them all with such care and love! We have complex routines with each cat and she did it all beautifully! She is very accommodating and patient with working around schedules. She took lots of pictures and wrote detailed descriptions after each night of dropping in. I am 100% a returning client for her services. Book her, you will not regret it!”
About: I am an experienced intensive care unit veterinarian assistant. I have grown up having dogs my whole life, including 2 Huskies, 4 Great Pyrenees, a Rottweiler, and a German Shepard. I have over 1.5 years of experience working in the Small Animal ICU at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and 1 year at Iowa State University's Large Animal Hospital, as well as volunteering at various barns/kennels/shelters. I am very confident in administering medications to older fur babies and being vigilant for any potential emergencies. You can rest at ease knowing I am watching your pet! At home, I have a backyard completely fenced in with a kiddie pool for the dogs and plenty of space to run! I have two Great Pyrenees of my own, so we are always going outside for playtime in the backyard and walks around the neighborhood with plenty of familiar furry friends to visit along the way! I have been working with animals in the professional field since I was 14 and have had pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, but no longer have them as two big dogs are plenty for me, but I still love and care for them! I love animals so much and will treat your pets like my own while you are away!
About: Aside from dogs, I have also taken care of birds, hamsters, and lizards! As a dog owner myself, I know the importance of making sure your companions get the best care and love while you are away ❤️ I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time and love to share with your pet companions! My daily schedule allows for one visit each morning, afternoon, and evening on weekdays and Saturdays. I am moving in August and will later be available in Dubuque. My dogs have toys to play with at home and I will make sure yours do too! Walks and playtime are important, and I will care for your companions as if they were my own!
“Alysha was amazing with Sadie! Sadie usually is a little uneasy with new caregivers and won’t eat her food or is a little shy. Sadie was very comfortable with Alysha and never missed a meal. Alysha sent great updates with every visit, so we could see pics of Sadie and know how she was doing. We would recommend using Alysha’s services, and will be having her care for Sadie more in the future!”

Molly M.
“Our family has known Molly since she was 5 years old and she has always been a pet lover. As an adult, she continues to gravitate to any pet in the room and she now has experience in the veterinary sciences! So, in addition to her solid disposition to care deeply for animals, she now has some formal training in the physical/medical care of small animals. We have hired her to care for our aging cat -in mid stages of renal failure -and it went very well. Molly is clearly wired for this line of work and will approach it responsibly...and with passion.”
