First time using Rover.com and Katlin - both were fantastic! Katlin took wonderful care of our elderly cat. She came at the times requested and did everything I asked of her. Thank you, Katlin!

About: I have volunteered at my local People for Pets, primarily taking care of cats and kittens. I’ve had experience with my own 4 dogs since I was a child, as well as over 5 dogs from family members. I’ve had a cat since childhood, and my family adopted a shelter kitten 5 years ago. I am a junior accounting major at the University of Northern Iowa. I currently work 9am-2:30pm at a local hotel 6 days a week, and 3-8:30pm at Scooters Coffee 4-5 days a week. While I have a busy schedule, I am dedicated to your pets’ needs. When caring for your pet, I expect to find food, treats, toys, and any other equipment you would want me to use when looking after your furry friend.

About: I have 1 dog of my own. I’ve taken care of dogs all my life in same way and look forward to caring for your pet! I have cared for senior dogs, blind dogs, delivered puppies and administered different medications. I have a flexible job where I am out and about meeting with clients and on the road. My schedule is super flexible because of this and I can make almost anything work. I would be able to take care of your loved fur baby in any way that you would like. I can do walks or stay in your home as well as incorporating drop in visits.

Tara took great care of our cat, Bella! She came ahead of time to meet Bella (and us) and they hit it off right away! She sent us pictures while she was with Bella and let us know how she was doing. We are very pleased to know about Rover and Tara! We will definitely ask Tara to come back when we need a cat sitter again!

Not only did she last minute pick up helping my dogs, but she went above and beyond by walking them and giving them SO much love! I got great pictures, and she treated them like they were her own pets! 10/10 recommend and appreciate the help/work she did with my boys!

About: I've had pets my whole life. In high school I volunteered with the humane society and as an adult I've worked with rescues and the raptor center at U of M. Let me take care of your furry family member like they are my own. I'm currently unemployed and looking for enjoyable income spending time with your faithful companions. Caring for them will be the highlight of my day. I love to see happy animals. I have a fenced yard to allow space for my two large dogs. Their food is backed by veterinary nutritionists. My two cats enjoy showing affection via head butts and K sleeps on my hip. My turtle roams the house often and enjoys spending time with his siblings. For Christmas I bought a box of 100 tennis balls. They love it.

About: Hi, I’m Mallory and I am a dog lover to my core! The big thing you should know about me is that I will absolutely treat your dog as my own and will most likely love them within seconds of meeting! I’ve had dogs all throughout childhood and I’ve always taken the best care of them! I’ve played with dogs while babysitting for kids and I also have a couple friends that I have dog sat and house sat for! I’m currently a full time nanny in Okoboji Monday-Friday; 8:30-4:30. I am luckily able to take the kids with me to do things so I could very easily let dogs out during the day, feed them, etc. The same goes for house sitting, if your pet can be left alone for a few hours at a time! My weekends are almost always open unless I’m babysitting or going out of town for the day! I cannot care for any pets in my home as my dog isn’t a fan of other dogs but I am more than willing to come to yours! I always play with them for a little bit before I leave and after I have fed them/let them out! I always make sure they feel loved and cared for while their parents are away!
