“Tatyana did a great job with our three dogs who range in size from a 90 lb German shepherd down to a 25 lb mutt. She sent pictures and videos, and with it being the first time she watched our dogs, it made me feel 100x more comfortable. We also had one dog who needed to take medication that she ensured was administered.”

“Robert couldn’t have been better! He took great care of my high-needs pup and she made it through our longest getaway just fine. She was given multiple walks per day and plenty of outside time. We also received at least one picture per day to show the kids (which made them very comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking him for my next trip.”


“Allegra was AMAZING at pet sitting our dog and cat while we were gone for 5 nights. She sent updates and phots as often and was great at communicating. We returned to happy and healthy pets. I felt very confident leaving my somewhat high needs cat with her. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Our home & animals were well cared for and the place was left in better shape than we left it. Daily pics and happy animals. We’re sad Kaitlyn isn’t staying in the area for long because we’d definitely book her again.”

“Maureen did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She was reliable, friendly, clean, and responsive to all our messages. She even sent us photo updates reassuring us that all was going well. We will definitely ask for her help in the future!”

About: I have always loved animals. I was the kid that would bring stray animals home asking my parents if I could keep them. I have always had dogs in my family homes. I graduated from Iowa State University with an Animal Science degree in May of 2016. I have dog sat for other families in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. I honestly love dog sitting and I have even taken care of some turtles and tortoises. I don’t really think of pet sitting as a job, but rather an opportunity to provide a safe and loving environment for your family pets while you are on vacation or if you have other obligations. I know how difficult it is to find someone who cares for your animals as you do, and I would truly love to be that person.
“Louisa and Sammy did an excellent job of taking care of our 7 month old puppy! They spent time playing with her and working with her on training so she is prepared for her puppy class tomorrow! Thank you!”

“Zach took excellent care of our two cats, one of whom was having health issues. He asked us ahead of time what kind of communication we wanted (lots of pictures!) and then made sure to follow-through. We'd happily have him house-sit for us again!”

“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”

“Katie was wonderful with my dog and a great communicator. She sent lots of updates and I could tell she was taking great care of him. She went above and beyond! I would definitely utilize her again.”

“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”


“Our most trusted sitter. Our pup loves him! He gives him lots of exercise and attention. Whenever I'm out of town, Nate is the first person I think of to watch my dog. Can't recommend him enough”


“Alina was so sweet and professional! I especially appreciated her attention to detail and quick responses. It's always nerve-wracking getting a first-time sitter, but Alina made it easy. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Jordyn is so sweet with our dog Tina! We feel lucky to have found her. She’s super patient with our shy pup and always takes great care of the house while we are gone - going the extra mile like putting away dishes or shoveling the driveway, which I never expect. She’s trustworthy, communicative, and friendly. You should book her!”

“Tara has watched our pets multiple times now and we could not be happier with the care she provides! We have three old/ special needs pets and Tara is so patient with them. She not only takes amazing care of our pets, but she also sends great pictures. We always come back to happy pets and a clean home.”
Regent pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sophie is the Best! She was able to come on short notice to dog-sit while we were out for a long evening. She was very responsive to our texts with directions and timing. Our spirited 15 month old doodle immediately connected with her. Although we didn't expect her to, Sophie took him out for a walk to work off some of his energy. Afterward, she sent us a photo of him relaxed and content. Five stars for Sophie!

We just got back from a trip and Brenda was our house and animal sitter. She always takes such great care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) and our home. I cannot say enough good things about her. We have already reserved her for our next trip. Thanks so much, Brenda!

Ray did a great job with both our dogs, but especially with our older thunder-phobic dog during a week in which many storms were predicted and a few happened. Her willingness to communicate, and her good questions made her a great choice for our dogs. And our dogs were clearly happy, comfortable and well-cared for in our absence. We would definitely book her again.

Robert couldn’t have been better! He took great care of my high-needs pup and she made it through our longest getaway just fine. She was given multiple walks per day and plenty of outside time. We also received at least one picture per day to show the kids (which made them very comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking him for my next trip.

Seanna was such an incredible sitter for our Charlie girl. So communicative, reliable & kind. We knew Charlie was in great hands while we were away. So appreciated the end of day updates & photos. Charlie got injured before we left for our trip & Seanna was on top of giving Charlie her medication & thoughtful about walks with her injury.

We've never had anyone watch our cats except for family. I was extremely nervous, but after reading Abigail's profile, and watching her interact with our cats at the initial meeting, I knew I had found the right person! Abigail took lots of notes and asked tons of questions to make sure she had all the information to not only cat sit, but stay in our house for 12 days. Both cats immediately took to her like they were long lost besties. We were out of the country, but I received multiple photo's and video's every day so we never felt like we were so far away. The people we were traveling with were impressed with the number of pictures, updates and video's we received. Somehow she even got the picky eater cats to eat more than they do during a normal day. If I ever need someone to care for our pets in the future, Abigail will be the first person I look for!

We were delighted with all of our experiences with Manu and how she cared for our dog, Bella for four days. Manu doesn’t just love dogs! She is knowledgeable about dog health, behavior and training as well as being very perceptive about a dog’s needs. Even before Manu started, she made sure that she had all the information she needed. Then when she had a question she spoke with our contact person. Then while we were away, she sent us s wonderful stream of photos of her playing with, walking and exploring with Bella. Bella was clearly very happy about being with Manu when we picked Bella up. We all feel confident that we left Bella in good hands and hope to work with her again. Review from 4 members of our family.

We have entrusted Alaina with the care of our two high-energy Labrador puppies on numerous occasions, and she consistently provides excellent service. During her most recent visit, she spent quality time engaging them in outdoor play in the yard, their favorite activity, and ensured they received the special treats we had provided. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for, and content puppies. Alaina is dependable, attentive, and demonstrates genuine care for the animals in her charge. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter.
