3. Ivy R.
“Ivy did an awesome job caring for Stanley while we were out of town. We don’t have a fenced yard, so he required twice daily walks (which are not always fun during Iowa winters). She also gave him his meds and lots of cuddles and kept us informed with periodic messages and photos. We felt very comfortable having Ivy in our home and look forward to scheduling her again. She is very conscientious and thoughtful. She even welcomed us home with a plate of homemade cookies. ? You can’t go wrong when having Ivy care for your fur baby!”

When I was going through a tough breakup, they were always there to listen without judgment, offering words of encouragement and support.

Kylie is truly a special person who always puts others first, and I'm so grateful to have her in my life.”

We could tell Odys really had a great time and was well loved!”

17. Derek P.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 9 years old. Ever since my dog Daisy died when I was in High School I have been jumping at the opportunity to care of my friends and families pets. It is always the highlight of my day to visit the different pets and I would almost say I like to see my families pets more then my actual family. I work from home full time and always have time during breaks and right after work to fit in a walk or visit for food. On the weekends I have more time to do multiple visits and walks. I have usually gone to my friends houses but my apartment does allow pets so I could take care of them here too. My apartment easy access to safe walking and a place for the bathroom.
18. Emma S.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10. I grew up with multiple cats to care for and have been a dog owner for 11 years. I have experience with puppies/kittens, as well as seniors who may have medical needs. I am also capable of handling high energy pets and households with multiples. I do work full-time (M-F) but have a flexible schedule. I have time in the mornings, and after 5 during the weekdays to care for your pets, and times during the day. Most weekends are very open. I know all pet parents have different rules/expectations, so I am open and happy to follow your lead on how you would need things done. I have a senior dog who is used to no crate, taking full advantage of the couches and beds :) and enjoys moderate length walks. I have had him since he was a puppy, so I am able to provide long walks, exercise time outside and crating if need be.
19. Bradley H.
“Brad did an amazing job housesitting and caring for my little Doxiepoo Lodi! He kept in great communication while I was out of town, and even brought Lodi some treats! I never had to worry about the care of my dog while Brad was taking care of him. Took him on regular walks and breaks outside. Felt secure having someone at my home over the New Year Holiday. Please contact Brad for any of your Rover needs. He will go above and beyond and deliver fantastic results. Our family will be booking Brad for any future needs. Even though he lives about an hour from the Cedar Rapids area, if you have a need be will help you out! Thanks Brad! We are glad Lodi has a new friend.”
20. Samantha G.
“Samantha watched my dogs for many years before moving to Baraboo. She loved taking them for walks and getting to know their personalities! I would definitely recommend her to watch other pups at her house which has a huge yard and two lovable fur friends to play with!”
