Izabelle went above and beyond for us. We needed a dogsitter for our wedding day, and she brought our dog to our venue and watched him the rest of the night. Harvey absolutely loves her and it was comforting to know he was well taken care of. I can’t recommend Izabelle enough!

About: Hi there! I’m Treva—an experienced and compassionate animal caregiver with a lifelong passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m 19 years old and currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to your fur baby. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide the best possible care. My services include dog walking, feeding, medication administration, enrichment activities, playtime, and one-on-one companionship. I’m comfortable handling pets with special medical or behavioral needs, and I always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. I also offer drop-in visits and overnight care for pet parents who need peace of mind while away. With over three years of hands-on experience in professional dog care—and two years spent managing a busy pet facility—I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve bottle-fed newborn puppies, worked with reactive dogs, and supported seniors with mobility issues. I’ve also been active in rescue, fostering, and rehabilitation efforts, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and the importance of patience and trust. Currently, I have three smart and kind dogs of my own, and we enjoy daily walks and visits to the dog park to get our energy out and stay social. We may live in an apartment, but we make sure to get outside every day for fresh air and fun! When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I bring a calm, reliable presence, strong organizational skills, and most importantly—a whole lot of love. 🐶💖 Let’s make your pet’s day (and yours) a little brighter! 🌟 I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I’m flexible with dates and times, and I’ll work with your schedule to make sure you have the best experience possible. I have three smart and kind fur babies of my own. Since we live in an apartment, we go on daily walks and visit dog parks to help get our energy out and stay active

About: At the age 16 I got my first job at a doggie daycare connected to a vet clinic. At the location I was apart of the doggie day care as well as their boarding services. After just over a year at that location, I decided to move on a different doggie day care and stayed there for 6 months doing about the same thing. I am currently a senior studying at Iowa state university. I am majoring in animal ecology. I have a fairly relaxed schedule and try to fit walks/visits in where I can! I have dog sat for plenty of my family friends and listen very well to instructions. I know how important a schedule and structure can be for an animal so I do my best to make sure things are just like they are when the parents are home.

Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

About: I’m certified in Fear Free Animal Handling, providing safe and comfortable care for pets! I also work as an intern in a Veterinary clinic and currently am studying for Vet School. I’ve also worked with feral to domesticated pets, large and small, so I’ve got experience in almost pet! I’m hoping to have some extra cash on the side from school and work, and can make most situations work, I just need a sizeable notice. My most free days are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and sometimes weekends! For now I cannot board any pets, however, I’m more than happy to do feeding for many pets, help with medication administration, litter cleaning, and overall provide a few hours of attention and play time either in home or outside, though this depends on my current workload, however again, with enough notice I can make it work!

About: Hello! 👋👋 If you are looking for a dependable, observant, dedicated, compassionate person to care for your fur-babies … you have found the right person! 🙋‍♀️ Our home 🏡 is clean, pet-friendly and in a great neighborhood 🌳 About my pet experience: I’ve enjoyed family pets since I was in 2nd grade - yes - more than 30 plus years! Our now adult boys enjoyed growing up in our pet-friendly home as we had different pets throughout their lives … cats 🐈‍⬛ , dogs 🐩, Guinea pigs 🐹, teddy bear hamsters, gerbils, a turtle 🐢, hermit crabs 🐚 , beta fish 🐟 and a leopard gecko 🦎! So …. I’m happy to offer care for your unique pets as well! My 💲pricing 💲and services ✅ are adjustable to suit your needs and your pet(s) needs. For example: 🐶DOG WALKING: For one or two dogs I charge $18 for a half hour walk. DROP IN VISITS: I will drop in and care for your animals at $18 for a half hour. I am happy to check on your dogs 🐕, cats 🐈, birds 🐦, hamsters 🐹, turtles 🐢, geckos 🦎, guinea pigs 🐹 etc. I have experience with 💊 oral medication administering for cats and dogs. I’m here to help with you and your pets needs! 🐾 I want to help you and fit into you and your pets routine / schedule! I am at home full-time unless I am walking our dogs or Rovering! At this time of my life I’m working on becoming a published Christian author and speaker. Thus, I have much flexible time to care for your beloved pets. With the 😷 season, I will wash my hands and follow shoe protocol of your home. 🦠 If you need additional help scooping the litter box, picking up 💩 in the yard just let me know! I am married to my pet-loving husband, Todd for over 30 years. We have a smoke-free home. We have a fenced in yard 🏡, RING security cameras, a helpful neighborhood that looks out for each others pets, children and homes. We have 🩵two🩵 amazingly smart and energetic Aussiedoodle dogs 🐾. At times, our “grand-pets” visit. Our dogs get along well with the grand-dogs 🐶 and grand-cats 😺 and at one time, the grand-Guinea pigs 🐹! While I am with your pet(s) I will record videos 🎥 and or take photos 📸 of your pet with updates on their status. I know how good it makes me feel to see photos and videos when I am away from our pets ❤️ I’m happy to help while you are there or away. I’m not a stranger to 🐈‍⬛, 🐕, 🦎, 🐹, 🐟, 🐦, 🐚, or 🐢. Happy to help!

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was 6 and taken care of all of them, neighbors' and families' animals actively for the last 4ish years! I would love to add a basic groom for an extra $10 added to any service you have scheduled. I have my own dog that I trained since he was a puppy, and he is now almost two. I also take care of a family's dog on a daily basis. I do not have a fenced-in yard, but I have a huge yard with long leashes. I also love to take our dog to the dog park. If you also have a pass, I would love that. My dog is mild to high energy and loves other dogs!

Cassidy has taken care of our two dogs multiple times with the same love and care she would show her own pet. We don't like to board our dogs so when the opportunity came to have someone come into our home and take care of our pups we were thrilled! Our pups were much more comfortable staying home, they were able to play and keep their daily walk routine with Cassidy. She would snuggle them and hang out with them so they never got lonely while we were away! We even have one dog with a little "grouchy" temperament and Cassidy was able to get him comfortable with her, I am forever grateful for that! I would highly recommend Cassidy to any pet owner, she is hands down one of the best!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was eight years old.. I helped work on my grandfathers farm. My grandfather, and my stepfather both had hunting dogs. My grandfather also raised greyhounds, and I was responsible for caring for them.. I have Pet care and grooming experience . ( We groom our Dogs at home) experience with Training puppies ,and senior Dogs . I have a doodle , and my Stepdaughter has a pitbull at home. I will do my best to take care of your dogs needs. I am available 3-4 days a week, and some weekends. I have plenty of time for walks and Drop in visits. I would love to play with your pups and spend quality time with them. I live in a duplex. We don’t have much of a yard. I live very close to a park. When I’m walking dogs, I like to change up the routine as far as where we are walking to.

Ceondra was great at communication, she clearly loves animals, and her day job as a vet tech provides an added sense of security. She was a great person to look after my lab.
