1. Samuel L.
About: I grew up on a farm, so I've always been surrounded by animals and have developed a natural ability to care for them. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m not only comfortable with dogs of all ages but also have experience handling puppies and providing senior dog care. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I'll be the one taking care of your pet personally, ensuring they get plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. We have a dog at home and an unfenced yard, but we're just one block away from a dog park, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. If needed, we can crate our dog to ensure safety and comfort during your pet's visit. We always prioritize the well-being of all pets in our care and will adjust our home environment as needed to meet your pet's needs.

“Megan's place is great!! Our dog Frank has an abundance of energy so I was nervous taking him there for the first time and him being around so many other dogs. Megan set my mind at ease! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day, which I loved!! Frank had zero issues there and had so much fun. He used up all of his energy and slept the entire car ride home. I can tell that he had a very fun day! We will most definitely be going back!”

“I have booked with Jason number of times now both with just Theodore and now with Theodore and Eleanor. He is super affectionate with my fur babies and patient with with both them and their crazy momma. 😅😂”


5. Auden B.

“Auden was fantastic! Communication was great throughout the day along with photos of our pup playing and on walks! We definitely would love Auden to watch our dog again!”


6. Cody & Ashley S.
About: We have had 2 dogs for quite some time. Cody always had a pet in the home growing up and we have had our dogs since they were puppies (the oldest is 8 years old). We are willing to give any medicines and we brush our own dogs teeth at night, so we can do yours if you would like! Cody works from home, and Ashley is home most of the time so we will be willing to work with you and what your pup needs! We have a single family home with a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies ourselves to keep your pet company! We also have a doggy door to the backyard if your pup knows how to use it :) We do not crate our own dogs but are willing to crate your pup if that is the preference. We usually take our dogs on 4 walks per day, lasting about 30 minutes each walk plus free roam in the backyard.


7. Danny P.


“We highly recommend Danny if you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter! She frequently updated us throughout the day and made sure to send pictures of Bean often! We cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our pup!”


8. Mark K.

“Mark was amazing ! We have him only a few hours notice and he drove to us for a meet and greet then returned to pick them up for the night.. he sent updates and pictures.. they went on several walks ! we were able to enjoy our night without any worry! We picked them up at the end of the night and saw what a beautiful neighborhood and home mark has… wow, we lucked out, so did our 2 doggies 😊.”


9. Trish C.

“Trish was amazing from beginning to end. Her house was very clean and inviting for pets and my two fur babies were safe and happy in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur babies! I will definitely use her again!”


10. Rachael W.

“Fantastic experience. She gives us updates throughout the day. Our dog got very comfortable with her, and she was very receptive to all of our instructions. He comes back tired every time. Thank you!”


11. Sydney & Michael S.
“Sydney is a fantastic pet caregiver! She’s responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are comfortable and happy, providing them with plenty of attention and care. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in her capable hands. Highly recommended!”


12. Sidney R.

“She was so attentive and sweet to my pup. She sent me regular updates and pictures which was really reassuring to me that he was doing well. Absolutely recommend!”


13. Faith H.
“Faith is a loving, caring, kind, responsible, and safe dog sitter for any dog because she is consistently all of these things for her own dogs. She grew up with big dogs (Weimaraner and Standard Poodles) and currently has one of her own (a 1-year-old Goldendoodle). Faith singlehandedly raised her own puppy; she devoted time and used her good instincts to teach him to become the incredible dog he is today: loved, loving, and well-behaved. Faith is a wonderful dog-sitter. Any dog in her care is in GOOD HANDS (she is an ICU nurse, after all!).”


14. Reagan W.
“A real animal lover and great with all pets. She will take the time to connect with you pet and make them feel loved while you're away.”


15. Natalie T.

“Natalie and her crew took great care of our boys. We felt so at ease leaving them with her for the day. Next time we are through coralville we be sure to book a stay for our boys in her home”


16. Kasey B.

“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”


17. Robert S.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to Robert and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and service he provided. Robert is truly a dog lover! From the moment I reached out to Robert on Rover.com, his professionalism and prompt communication stood out. He was quick to respond to my inquiries, and we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for my dog's needs and personality. I appreciated his attention to detail and the genuine interest he showed in getting to know my dog's habits, preferences, and any specific instructions. Robert provided a safe and comfortable environment for my furry companion, treating my dog as if they were their own. Regular updates, including photos and videos, were sent to me, allowing me to see that my dog was happy and content while in their care. This level of communication brought peace of mind, especially when I had to be away from my pup for an extended period. He made sure my dog received plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to Robert for any future dog-sitting needs!”


18. Emily W.

“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”


19. Laura I.

“Was super attentive to our puppy, and lets us know exactly what was going on during her visit!”


20. Nicole D.
“We wouldn’t trust our sweet German Shepherd to anyone but Nikki. Our Maverick has special needs, and we want to ensure he’s well cared for in our absence. Nikki’s kindness and thoughtfulness gives us the reassurance we require. She’s amazing with him, and he absolutely adores her. She doesn’t flinch at his big bark, and she's a pro at wrangling our 104 lbs. bundle of fur. We recommend her to all our friends and family.”
