“Tia did a wonderful job of taking care of Mitzi Sue! It relieved my worries so we could enjoy vacation. Mitzi is an outdoor kitty and only allows me to pet her. I'm Sure she knew who was taking care of her while we were gone! Thank you Tia!”
About: I’ve been watching my own dog for three years now, but he is back in California with family. I have lots of time on my hands and would love to watch other pups. I am free all week now that Summer has come around. Since I have so much free time, I would be more than willing and available to care for pups throughout the day. I prioritize pets and their health while they are with me. From going out constantly to take care of business, play out in the yard, or even just go on simple walks. I always make time to take care of pups and assure they are healthy and happy.
About: I have experience with dogs from any age and any breed and temperament. I am also knowledgeable on giving medication (both oral and via injection). In the summer, I work part-time during the days (anywhere from 9am to 5pm), however when my college classes start up in the fall, I have much more time to spend with your pets! Before each stay, for both my and your comfort, I tend to plan a meeting to get to know your animal and your space better! I find that in person meetings with pets before housesitting exponentially improves the quality of the experience for both me and your furry friend. Complicated instructions/"trouble" animals don't deter me, either. I will play, feed, walk, and clean up after your pet for as long as needed!
“We've used Lizzie numerous times to watch our 5 cats. They are on 3 different foods and fed in 3 separate rooms. 😅 She takes care of our babies flawlessly despite how high maintenance they are. Love her!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking personal care of numerous dogs over the last 30 years. The dogs I’ve personally cared for have been various sizes - from less than 30th lbs to over 80lbs. I’m comfortable in caring for all sizes. I love all dogs!! I have a huge fenced-in yard with both sun and shade. I have a 2.5 year old neutered male cattle dog mix (Thor) who is the love of my life. He loves all people and all animals. He would love to play in our yard with your dog(s). In the last year I was employed by a high-end doggy daycare and boarding business as a Pet Care Technician. In that capacity I watched over and cared for numerous dogs - both large and small. I cared for and loved each one as if they were my very own. I’d love to care for your furbaby as well! I am currently retired from work as a Pet Care Tech at a high end doggy day care and boarding business. I’m available on weekdays and completely available on weekends for playtime and care of your pup! I have a large fenced-in yard and a playful 2.5 year old cattle dog mix. Playtime, sunshine, and love await your furbaby. If your dog is older or more laid back, then laying in the yard sunbathing and plenty of snuggling time sounds wonderful as well.
“Sydney was great with Jax and Gemma. They can be very excitable but after being away and cared for by Sydney they were calm when we arrived home. She was very communicative while we were away and I could tell by the pictures she sent that they enjoyed having her look after them! I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a sitter and will definitely be booking her if we go away in the future!”
About: I love dogs! I have grown up with dogs around me all of my life. I have pet-sat multiple days in a row and am willing to stay overnight. I have also just checked in on dogs throughout the day in order to let them out to take care of their business, feed them, make sure they have water and plenty of attention. If any messes are made, I will clean them up to the best of my ability and am willing to pick up poop if requested. I also have lots of experience with dog-walking and am more than willing to do so at the owner's request! I cater to the dogs based on my love for them and any directions given by the owners. If your dogs need someone to love on them, please contact me and I will gladly do so! I work part-time during the week and usually am completely free during the weekends. I will do my best to cater to pets' schedules during the week. Also during Fall and Spring, I will be taking classes at St. Ambrose University. When pet-sitting, I play with the pets, make sure that they get all the attention they need that I can provide, let them out to go to the bathroom, make sure that they are fed and have clean water along with going on walks in order to get some exercise. If there are any messes, I will clean them up to the best of my ability and will pick up poop if requested.
“I would just like to say that Erica did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs while we were away for a weekend trip out of town. I was very impressed at how thorough and punctual Erica was for the drop in visits that she provided. The care notes, and pictures documenting each visit were very reassuring. I feel that Erica cared for our dogs as if they were her own. I will not hesitate to contact her again whenever we need someone to care for our dogs.”
“Genna did an excellent job with Bo. Excellent communication and took good care of my puppy. She contacted me when something was off one day which I appreciated. Will definitely utilize her again”
“I enjoyed peace of mind when booking Nicole to drop in and visit my cat when we were away for Thanksgiving. She met with us a few days prior to her scheduled visit to meet us and the cat and review the care routine, which was incredibly helpful! She asked excellent questions that I didn't even think to mention. I appreciated her update after the visit and the cute photos she snapped of our boy Odin! I would not hesitate working with Nicole again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from small to very large in the last 4 years. I administer medication every morning to my own dog and I have great time management to fit my pets feeding schedules. I currently work at a daycare every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1pm-6pm and Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 7:30am-4:30pm. However I will be leaving that job at the end of July and I am looking for short term employment as I will be moving in the coming months. I have reliable transportation so you would never have to worry about your pet not getting cared for in a timely manner. I also have a crate to use in the car if needed for transporting pets. Although most of my pet care experience is with dogs, I am open to caring for cats and other pets as well!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have two dogs of my own🐕-so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to take care of them. Im super active and great with high energy or large dogs (thanks to my two wild ones at home!🐾) If you are in need of doggy care, you can count on me to provide loving care for your four legged friends. I’m available for check ins and walks-perfectly happy walking your dog in any weather even on those cold winter days! As a fellow dog owner I am happy to provide the best care for your animals when life is too busy or when you head out of town. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!🐾 I work full time from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pups during the day. I was active on Rover about 6 years ago and I’m excited to be back! I have two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to trust the person checking in on your pets. I treat every dog like my own with love, patience and close attention to their needs. I will be sure to leave your home just as I found it, will clean up any pet messes and double check that your home is locked up before I leave. I will be sure to make your pet feel cared for and loved while you are away!
“Sophia was great stopping by watching my cat, and she was helpful even though I had some uncertainty with my dates. She responded quickly and sent me pictures while I was away for the holidays, and I came back home to a happy cat! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember I have always enjoyed taking care of them and making sure they are living their best life. I have three dogs of my own including a labradoodle and two french bulldogs. I consistently watch all the dogs in my neighborhood and watch my friends cats as well. I also have a lot of experience with puppies due to my family being guide dog raisers for a long period of time. Along with puppies I am also good with senior dogs due to my family choosing to foster a lot of senior dogs. I also have experience and love all sizes and kinds of dogs. I look forward to treat your animals as if they are my own and show them every bit of love and care you would show them. I am staying in staying in Davenport over the summer and working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available for housesitting pretty much any day because my shifts are short and I am able to go check on your pet during my shift if needed. I’m also available for walks and check ins most days except for Fridays after 11 a.m. I also know the summer is are a busy time and I am usually pretty flexible and ALWAYS open to any last minute pet sitting requests. Whenever I am watching a neighbors dog while staying in their house I make sure I am constantly spending time with them and getting their energy out, whether it is playing fetch, taking them on a walk, or even just cuddling on the couch with them. I always make sure they consistently get out to use the restroom. I love spending my time with your cute doggos and making sure they are happy as can be while your away!
About: I've watched beloved fur babies for friends and family for 15 years or more. Mostly got into it by word of mouth and my flexible availability. I can provide references if needed. Since I was young we have always had animals, and it's easy for me to be in a routine feeding them..just as I would myself. I meal prep and train regularly. So schedules are regular and second nature for me. I will care for your pet to your specific needs as possible. Weather it be certain potty schedules, and/or medication schedule. I have no problem adhering to the best of my power. I do work full time 8 hour days, & off most weekends. But can be flexible

Camille M.
“Camille has been my close friend for nearly four years now. I was her best friend when she adopted her first dog from a shelter, Coop. Coop was a rescue dog that Camille adopted, and immediately loved. When she brought Coop home, Camille immediately catered to him. In his first night at her apartment, she slept on the living room couch so he would not be alone. When Coop wanted to play fetch at 4am that same night, Camille was there to play and make him feel at home. Since adopting Coop, Camille has shown utter love and care for him, and I have never questioned her ability to provide adequate care for him. Camille is a natural dog lover, and I put complete trust in her ability to love and care for any dog that may be around her.”

Cathleen H.
“Cathleen is a great human and has always been attentive and compassionate with her dogs and our dogs whenever we visit! Years ago one of our boxers got sick and she helped us get him healthy for our road trip back to Minnesota. Recently she came north to visit (with her current dog Thor) and our dog fell in love with her and Thor. I would (and do) trust her (and my dog) with our lives! No worries at all!!”

“Riley is my niece and I can tell you she LOVES dogs!! She thoroughly enjoys spending time with them & always shares with me about her dog-sitting experiences when we are together. We have two 1/2 German Shepherd, 1/2 Collies at home and she can’t get enough of them when we host family gatherings. She gets right down on the floor and pets them as long as they will let her. When we ask her to watch them for us, we know she absolutely follows our instructions & spends quality time with them which is important to me. We also know they are in good hands with someone who truly cares about dogs, knows how important they are to us, and wants to take very good care of them as well!! I give Riley a glowing recommendation as a pet-sitter!”
