About: I grew up in the country. We always had at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at our home. I can keep your pets safe and happy. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I plan to get another dog here around July, so until then, I have plenty of time to look after yours. I typically will let dogs out to use the restroom or just play every 2 hours. I like to use positive reinforcement, treats, and affection while looking after animals. I realy enjoy spending time with dogs.

About: I genuinely care about the well being of every dog in my care. I will treat every dog as if it was my own, which means lots of treats(if allowed) and lots of pets, belly scratches and cuddles(if tolerated). I am currently working part-time and healing. Unfortunately financially I need more income so I thought “why not try Rover and spend some time with dogs(which I love doing!)”. So ultimately I will make this fit into my schedule where I can. I’m pretty flexible currently. Give me a chance and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I ask clients to leave detailed instructions. I want to make sure that while you are gone your dogs/cats routine stays as close to normal as possible! If that means your dog goes to paws n pints for a play date on Wednesday @2 then I’ll load up lassie in the car and get there! If your cat gets 3 treats at 3pm everyday then we will make it happen! All joking aside, I aim to please!

“Thank you so much!”

About: I have had pets since I was a child and I currently live with dogs in my host family. Although it is not always my direct responsibility, I always try to make sure that they are fed, that they do their needs and that they are comfortable and happy. I am responsible, attentive and enjoy spending time with them, whether it's playing, walking or just making sure they have everything they need. My daily and weekly routine is mostly organized around my au pair responsibilities, which I schedule monthly. I am available for dog sitting, walks, and potty breaks during my free time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my pet care services in advance to ensure I can provide attentive and reliable care without conflicts. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have access to water, and go outside for potty breaks regularly. I give them attention, playtime, and ensure they are safe and comfortable at all times. I also follow any instructions from the owner carefully to meet the pet’s individual needs.

About: Hello! I have loved animals all my life. I went to Iowa State University to get a bachelor’s degree in Biology! While at ISU, I was a caretaker at the Insect Zoo, caring for and presenting all sorts of creepy crawlies. I have several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I volunteered at the local humane society for several years! I love learning new things and am always reading up on how to take the best care of my pets as possible. I have raised many kittens from birth and have experience giving medications to senior cats and dogs. I live on a farm now with lots of kitties and chickens! My #1 goal is to ensure the comfort and safety of your pet while you are away. I currently have one indoor cat, Luna and a puppy named Winston. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. They get hours of cuddles and play time and always has a clean environment to thrive in. My husband works from home, so they get a ton of attention! We bought a farm in October 2023 and outside we have 14 chickens. By the end of the year we will also have goats! We have almost five acres to run and play on while your pet is here. Animals in my home are treated as family members. Anyone that knows me knows that my animals are my life. I like to know every detail about your pet to best care for them. There is no such thing as “too much” information when it comes to caring for your pets!

“She was soo helpful and is so diligent!! Today I was so stuck and I totally wrote my whole calendar day down wrong. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate. I won’t do that often but I’m so grateful”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved being around dogs. I have grown up around many dogs my family owned and learned how to properly take care of a dog from a young age. My high school job was working at a doggy daycare facility and thats when I blossomed. It was a job I was excited to attendant and fell in love with many of the dogs there. I am very patient with dogs and will give them all of the attention they need. I would be a great fit for your dog because I will love the dog just as much as you do! At the moment I only work 3 days a week. This benefit's me because the other 4 days off I am free and more than happy to take care of your dog. I have flexible scheduling on my days off and can even set up a weekly schedule if needed. I live in a very loving home. It will just be me taking care of your dog so you wouldn’t have to worry about any strangers being around. I have a very big yard to be able to play fetch with your dog and a very nice neighborhood to take your dog on walks. I am more than willing to travel to your own home to take care of your dog as well and any needs that come along with it.

“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”

About: I've had pets all my life and would love to care for yours too, on a temporary basis. I love to vacation and often struggle with finding a solution for my babies while I'm gone. For me my favorite choice is to have someone I know and trust stay in my home but there's hardly ever anyone available for that kind of commitment! I thought it would be awesome to be able to provide that kind of care for someone else: house/pet sitting, drop-in, or just walks/exercise. I want you to know your pets are loved and treated with gentle kindness. I recognize that I'm kind of a stranger to your babies and I'll treat them like my own and earn their trust! They'll be loved and cared for in a way that will make your absence less stressful for them and as much like their normal days as it can be while you're away. I take my responsibilities to others extremely seriously and won't be satisfied unless you are! I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability on weekdays and weekends both. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are fine by mutual agreement. I enjoy taking find for walks or just playing outside in the yard. On days where weather is bad, I'm happy to get the dogs outside to do their business and then play a bit indoors!

About: Hello! my name is Ellie and I: -Grew up on a hobby farm and have been responsible for the care of cats, dogs, goats, chickens and other birds. -House sat for other families and have taken care of their dogs, cats and other animals. -I have a huge love for animals -I genuinely want to do my best in taking care of your pets<3 I am currently working on growing my small business as an artist from home so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I can come any day of the week except Sunday mornings. But please try to give me as much warning as possible so that I can be sure I don't plan something else on that day. I am sorry but I do not offer bording, overnight house sitting, or doggy daycare services. I do offer dog walking and drop in visits though.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!

“Allison was terrific! She helped out on short notice and went above and beyond to make everything work. The dogs love her. She is a great communicator. Very professional and responsive. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have played and watched cats since I was a little girl and dogs since I have been an adult. I love animals and treat my Long Hair German Shepherd, Mercedes, like my first daughter. I am usually able to sense what the animal is trying to say. I am very empathetic and want everyone, animals included, to feel comfortable in my home. I only go to the office two days a week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, all other days I am working from home and allow Mercedes as many trips outside as she wants. We also take time on nice days to play in the yard or take walks. I have a 3 year old who currently runs our house. Mercedes knows not to mess with the human toys or food. Any animal who comes to my house needs to be okay with toddlers. I have comfortable furniture that animals are allowed on, lots of areas to be alone if needed, and different sleeping areas available. I live on a quiet street.

“Jenevieve is beyond fantastic!! Came in clutch and helped me when I was sick to make sure my pup still got to enjoy a nice walk! 100/10!! ❤️”

About: My fiancée, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 8 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 2 year old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. I work from home full time and Anthony has a flexible work schedule. We will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.

About: I grew up with animals and as an adult i have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have also enjoyed caring for friends and family pets when needed. I have volunteered at the ARL and received some training. I have an open schedule with lots of flexibility that allows for plenty of time to take care of or hang out with my furrbabies. I prefer to keep dogs leashed when a fence is not available. My cat stays indoors. I treat my pets as my children. For outdoor cats, it depends on the owner. I have seen GPS used to keep track of their location outside.
