“You can tell that Tia is a pet lover! She checked in often and kept my pup happy when I wasn’t there, I feel like I don’t have to overly explain anything, Tia gets it!”

“Amara was the best pick for my extended international trip. She went above and beyond watching my two cats. Watering my plants and bringing in my mail without even asking her to. She is clearly a cat lover and it put my mind at ease that they were getting the TLC they needed while I was 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
“Kind and compassionate.l! Took the time to learn about our pups and their schedule and was very positive, friendly, and knowledgeable in our meet and greet. Would book again in a heartbeat! Nothing but a positive experience.”


About: I grew up taking care of large and small dogs in my home. I have experience in bathing, walking, giving medications, and daily care. I also have a cat who I feed, groom, and maintain the litter box of. I am free any day of the week. I am home for the summer between undergraduste school and a doctorate program so I am available every day at any time. I have large fenced in backyard with lots of space to run around. I have two high energy dogs that love to play and run with other dogs.
About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)
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 go to school at St. Ambrose University and during the spring semester I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available for housesitting pretty much any day and always available for drop ins or walks. I am always open for last minute bookings! 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!
“Jenna and Spencer did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs! I was skeptical using Rover but after many years of relying on friends and family to watch our dogs while we are out of town, I knew I had to eventually hire someone, they did not disappoint. Our dogs warmed up to them pretty quickly and that's not always the case with our pups, they made 2 stops at our house before our vacation to get acquainted with the pups which was perfect. The check ins with pictures kept our mind at ease while we were away and they kept in contact as well. I would highly recommend! We will be using them going forward for our pet care needs!”

“Bianca is absolutely AMAZING! Sent so many photos of our cats & they clearly really liked her! First time leaving cats for a week and was immediately comfortable knowing the love Bianca showed them. Will always be using her & thankful Rover connected us to her!”


About: Going out of town? Want to leave your pet in the comfort of their home rather than boarding them somewhere that stresses them out? Want to leave them with someone who will give them tons of TLC? Then I'm your gal! I have been petsitting for over 20 years, and I've had my own business for 15 years (Happy Tails). I have a lot of energy myself, but am also content to sit around and cuddle, so any energy dog is fine with me! I've taken care of dogs with health needs, administered many medications including insulin shots, liquids and pills, and worked with deaf and blind animals. I have owned and fostered/rescued many animals and many breeds in my lifetime. Please contact me if you're interested, and feel free to check out my Facebook page for reviews (Happy Tails QC). Thank you! As this is my full-time job, I have a lot of time daily to care for your furbabies, & I'm available 365 days a year! I care for pets in the owners home. I come by three times a day for 20-30 minutes each time. I can also do walks!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs in my household since I was a child, but my experience caring for cats truly expanded in 2020 when I began fostering kittens of various ages. In 2021, I took my passion further by working as a veterinary assistant, gaining hands-on experience with medical care and daily cat and dog needs. Most recently, in 2024, I worked as a kennel technician at a local animal shelter while on break from college, where I cared for cats and dogs of all personalities and health backgrounds. I am trained in administering medications, handling pets of all ages and temperaments, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I would love the opportunity to bring this experience and care to your furry companions. I work 7am-3pm Saturday to Wednesday and am off Thursday and Friday.

I personalize care for each pet in my care depending on their needs and requirements for me. I am happy to go slow, or jump right in depending on what they need and what their body language is telling me. I also abide by owner requests and requirements such as medication for each pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have recently started to work with cats. I miss walking my dogs from home and would love to help take care of yours I’m currently a student, so although I have many classes during weekdays I have breaks in between as well as Friday through Sundays free. I always make time for my own walks and workouts but I’d love to do it with an animal! My medium sized dog uses a harness on his walks, but I have worked with all kinds of leashes before. We had our yard fenced in for play time but I have worked with dogs in parks and ungated areas.

Moriah is caring, communicative, and dependable . She sends updates via text, sends the cutest pictures, and I live her video snippets. Being away for 12 hour shifts can be stressful and worrisome. Knowing Moriah is there to care for my boy helps alleviate that. I trust that he is in safe, capable hands. Thank you, Moriah for being there for Hershel.

Aidan has been great to work with so far! He is helping us as a drop-in sitter on days I have to be in the office and our pup, Bonnie, has had so much fun with him. Quick to respond, great availability, and very understanding of my pup’s quirks as she’s still got a lot of puppy in her!
