About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched!

I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl. We always had animals in our house & I have been a pet sitter for many years.

I love animals of every kind & having many of my own, I understand how important it is to trust who is taking care of your pets.

I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. With my flexible schedule, I’m committed to providing consistent, high quality care. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of routines, and always happy to send updates so you can feel at ease. 😺🐶Your dog’s well being is my top priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up showing horses and cattle. I currently have Scottish highland cows, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients. I love animals more than people most days. :) Being around any kind of animal is my happy place. When in college, I worked for Apple Creek Kennel in Marion, IA. I’m very approachable and easy to talk to. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I will work with you if price or schedule doesn’t line up. I work from home MOST days. If I’m not home, I’m usually not too far away. I make my own schedule so I’m able to be somewhat flexible. I’m a crop insurance adjuster full time and usually the busiest times of the year for me are around planting (May-June) and harvest (Sept-Dec). Please be mindful about how far apart we live. If we do live 20+ miles apart and you need me to care for your pet 4 times a day, that’s a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of driving time and gas for that day, on top of my full time job. I do my best not to over-commit myself and I am very upfront and honest about my schedule for the time frames requested. My full time job takes priority but I will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet(s) if my schedule allows. 🥰 I have a 5ft fenced yard. I will care for your animals specifically as I’m told and will do what is safest and most secure for your animal.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me to care for their pets the way I’ve cared for my own. I will have all of the time in the world to take care of your pets. I will make the time to take them for walks, play with them, watch them, and bathe them whenever you need me to. I always allow for ample time outside and enrichment activities. I have experience with crate training if needed as well as potty training for puppies. I’ll make sure to keep your pets entertained through every season.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life and I’m currently working as a kennel assistant/weekend boarding manager. I’ve also worked as a veterinary assistant so I am well equipped to handle all pets of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I work at a doggy daycare in the mornings on Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays, and 7-11 + 2-5 on weekends. I am available for pet/house sitting on weekends if you and your pet(s) are comfortable with my schedule. Weekdays are very flexible for me. At the clients home i will walk them or let out in a fenced yard whatever is available to make sure your pet is well cared for. For yards I will pick up any waste your pet leaves behind. I am also more than happy to take your dog for a walk around a trail or neighborhood or wherever U would like me to.

“Peyton was an amazing sitter!! She sent so many pictures. Took care of our pup and our kitties were just there hanging out. She still took pics of our cats! Would recommend 1000/10.”
About: Well to start off, my name is Caitlin and I've grown up with animals in my household all my life. I tend to make a very quick and deep connection with animals and I've volunteered for the Cedar Rapids Care and Control shelter. Tasks of volunteering were to walk the dogs, play with the dogs, and show the dogs to people who were thinking of adopting. I currently have 4 dogs and a cat and all of the animals I have owned were rescue animals. My promise to you is that I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. People always say a dog is a mans best friend, but I say animals in general are more then that. They are family and every animal deserves to be loved on and taken care of.

“Angela is an obvious lover of dogs, with two of her own. She is immensely responsible and caring--very attentive to any dog's needs.
