“Erica was fantastic! I trust her so much with my cat, Smudge who was happy and well cared for when I returned from my trip. Erica was communicative and understanding.”


“Elaine was a great dog sitter. Very thorough with details about our fur babies while we were away. She was also very loving with our pups which made me feel that they were in good hands and being well looked after. Came home to happy pups very satisfied with the service as a first time user of Rover. I will definitely use Elaine again anytime we are in need of a dog sitter. Thanks again Elaine ???.”


“Lucy is our go-to to ensure our pups are taken care of when we’re away for an extended period. She takes great care of the dogs and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our high maintenance geriatric dogs.”


“We are so appreciate of Mindy’s great care while we were gone. Her experience and knowledge gave us true peace of mind and her communication about the visits was a wonderful bonus. We traveled home knowing everything was well - we found happy pets and a cleaner-than-necessary home! We will certainly use Mindy’s services again.”


“She took very good care of my fur babies while we where gone! We didn’t have great cell service while camping but we didn’t have to worry knowing they where being cared for!”


“Jackie was great. She responded quickly to confirm reservations. She was on time for both check-ins. I really appreciated the photos from the visits and prompt communications. I will book with her again for future needs and would 100% recommend.”


“Fiery is great with my cats. It is hard to find someone who is good with cats. I am so happy I found her. She keeps me informed with every visit so I don’t have to worry about my boys.”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.

“Christie was absolutely amazing with Kitty. She brushed her and gave her lots of attention. Kitty really enjoyed Christie’s company. I would definitely have her come in and watch kitty and my dogs. She gave me peace of mind leaving Kitty for 9 days. Thank you Christie.”


“Jocelynn is the sweetest and always provides the best care for our 9 year old 105 lb German Shepherd/Pit Bull rescue. She is reliable and consistent and follows care instructions perfectly. I highly recommend her!”


“Alessia was great and took fantastic care of my cat Mabel for the two weeks I was gone! She sent so many cute photos of her playing with Mabel and kept her super active and happy. Alessia is a lovely young lady and I will definitely be going to her for the next time I need cat sitting :)”


About: My whole life I have worked with animals from experience with my own pets, to working at shelters and animal sanctuaries, pet daycare and boarding with Animal Humane, and fostering pets with medical needs or are too young to be adopted. I work M-F 7am-3:30pm. I typically go home at lunch time so I can let your pet out for a mid-day potty break if needed. I live in a pet friendly apartment with hardwood floors just in case there’s any accidents. The neighborhood I live in is safe with nearby walking trails. I keep plenty of treats on hand and can work with your pets specific needs.

“Phenomenal. She helped us out on pretty short before we headed out for a long trip. I could not be more thrilled with how wonderful she was across the board - communication is spectacular, care of the animals is beyond wonderful, professional and personable. Thank you so, so much. Will absolutely plan to work with Crystal again in the future!”


About: I have been working the past 2 years with dogs and older puppies, alongside of vet techs, veterinarians and a animal behavioral team. My daily tasks are keeping the dogs areas as clean and comfortable as possible, offering different forms of play and dietary enrichment, walks and singular play time. Previous work with livestock animals in Iowa. I use to help many of my friends care for their different pets. Familiar with rats, raccoons, variations of dog breeds and some birds. I'm a cat lady at home, but I love getting my dog fixes in when I can. I'm not timid with territorial or aggressive dogs, they typically just need a little extra time to share their space and feel safe with unfamiliar people. I work full time Sunday-Thursday. I get home around 6 pm. Could do a walk or a visit in the evening those days, otherwise I'm free Friday and Saturday. If I had a bigger space (I would have my own dog 😅) I would love to host a furry friend, but for now I can accommodate by visiting your companion in their home when you are in need. I also brush, nail trim and bathe dogs at work and have no problem helping out with that.

“Mikayla was very sweet with my kitty and took great care of him. I had previously started him on a new food before my trip was confirmed and he had diarrhea/ loose poop while I was gone. Mikayla kept me updated and cleaned up after him when he didnt make it to his box. I can’t say how much I appreciate her for taking such good care of him.”


“Aurelie was incredibly consistent and communicative! She followed all instructions perfectly, and I received updates for every visit along with several pictures each time. I felt totally comfortable having her take care of my dogs.”


About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets multiple times a year, and they’ve recommended me to other people in need of someone to watch their babies. Pet care fits into my life daily as I have 2 cats myself. I’m used to doing everything a pet needs, and I am extremely flexible about schedules. I watch my cats to make sure everything is good and healthy every day. I try to spend at least 20-30 minutes just spending time with them, and showing I’m there for them. I do this with clients pets as well.

“Brian accepted a last minute booking to come check in on my cat while I was out of town for work. He was very diligent about refilling my cats food and water and cleaning up after him. Brian was patient while my shy, anxious cat warmed up to him. When I returned home, my cat seemed so much less stressed than when I’ve left him in the care of friends or family, so I can tell Brian took good care of him.”


“Satara did an awesome job watching my cats. She kept me informed of when she’d be over to take care of them. One of the cats threw up in the kitchen and she kindly cleaned it up. I greatly appreciate Satara’s service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Ceara unfortunately stepped into a lousy situation when she agreed to sit for our 3 cats. We had just had one die from illness and another was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. While the cat had antibiotics on board, she was still not urinating like a healthy cat. The cat is also afraid and anxious, so it was difficult to find her for a picture. We were worried sick, so Ceara asked if she should go back until she found the cat. It was late, so we told her to go next day. She did track down the cat who was obviously alive and scared, but we could at least relax for the duration of our stay away.

Cecilia does a fantastic job with our kitty while we're away! She is caring and kind, detail oriented, punctual and communicates with us throughout the trip. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is properly handled. We would highly recommend Cecilia for any pet sitting needs!
