About: *For pet owners new to Rover, ask me about my Promo Code to get $20 off your first booking* Hi, I’m Izzy! 😊 I aim to provide compassionate and detail-oriented care specific to the needs and routine of your fur baby with plenty of updates and photos so you can rest assured that they’re safe and sound and well taken care of 🤍 A little about me : I graduated from ISU in 2021 with a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Throughout college, I gained experience working as a Clinical Pharmacy Tech, followed by a few years as an EMT. Now, I'm excited to be working in Vet Med as a full-time Veterinary Assistant! 🏥🐕🐈⬛ I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and ages from 3 week old kittens to an 18 year old senior doggo! My experience on Rover and in veterinary medicine has also equipped me with the skills and experience necessary to care for pets with a wide range of medical conditions. Whether it's arthritis, diabetes, cancer, or another condition that requires extra detail and care, I'm committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for your beloved companion. Of my own pets, I’ve raised (or helped raise) : 2 sweet Shih Tzus, an energetic cuddly Pitt Bull, a gentle Domestic shorthair, a very intelligent Rottweiler, 2 dwarf hamsters, and a few non-mammalian pets as well 😊 Currently, I have one large doggo named Brutus whom I adopted very recently 🐶 You actually may have heard of him as he recently became a “local celebrity” thanks to NewsWeek! (Google “Newsweek Brutus” if you’d like to take a look at the article!) I ensure that my Rover Calendar of Availability is consistently updated to reflect my true schedule. My availability tends to be very consistent. I work 12 hour shifts at the Veterinary Clinic every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. However, I can also use my hour long lunch break to check in on your fur babies. In addition, I am typically available Wednesday, Thursday, and most weekends. While I do not currently offer services in my own home- I am more than happy to come to you! Most pets find comfort in their daily/weekly routines (especially when their favorite human is away.) I will always do my best to support the routine that supports them ♡
About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted one. So since I can’t have one I would love to take care of yours! I have taken care of many dogs of the years. I have watched dogs through house sitting. The longest I watched someone’s dogs was a month. I’m very comfortable around dogs and love them very much. They would get all the love from me! I am a teacher so I’m on summer break. I have all the time in the world! I would love to include walking dogs in my summer routine. I always clean up after myself and your dog. I make sure your and your dogs needs are always met. I don’t have space for a dog at my own house though.
“Corette took the time to come meet our pup before walking him. She sent photos, video and update before and after! She was flexible with scheduling and we really appreciate her!!!”
About: Taking care of pets has been a part of my life. Whether it is my own pets, neighbors or family I have been entrusted with many wonderful animals. I just love dogs and find it very hard to resist trying to pet every one I see! I have administered various medications to dogs and want to be a calming loving person in their lives. I currently have an adult dog and a puppy so I am used to all levels of activity! I do work full-time during the day Monday-Friday, however I have a flexible lunch schedule and my nights and weekends are free. I work in the public school setting so I have Holidays and Summers off where I hope to be able to help lots of clients. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats (and an aquarium full of creatures). I have a fenced in yard but take my dogs for 2 walks a day. I have a variety of toys and beds and my dogs are definitely allowed up on the couch (but understand if yours are not!).
“Georgia went above & beyond while walking my Louie. He got the best exercise & he had the best time! She is consistent, dependable & kind. I’m so happy I chose her to walk my dog. Thank you so much Georgia! You’re awesome!!”
About: Love working with all types of animals, Worked in 3 years vet care experience. I have worked with special needs and geriatric animals. I have a flexible availability. I've been trained on animal behavior and animal training. I have an apartment and animals will have free roam. We would go on walks. I also do grooming, nail trim, and teeth cleaning. Good with working with behaviorally challenged pets. Like to have open communication with fur parents. Willing to text and send pictures to update them during their time away. I currently work part time and getting my masters in counseling online. I'm looking for more time to spend with animals because I miss having them in my life. Let me take care of your fur babies! I currently work in both vet care and mental health. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and have 3 days off in a row. I make sure to prioritize the routine of the pets. I will care for your home and your pets as I do my own. I will make sure everything is as minimal stress for your fur child.
About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, I provide compassionate, attentive care that feels just like home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or a calm walk, I adapt my approach to meet each pet’s unique personality and health needs. What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and ability to earn trust quickly, from both pets and their owners. I have a golden doodle of my own so caring for pets is what I do all day. He is very energetic but also loves his naps. I am a college student so during the summer i am with him 24/7 Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, stress-free, and loving environment. I stick closely to the pet’s normal routine—feeding times, walks, play, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medication to keeping favorite toys or beds in the right spot. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I’m always alert to signs of stress or discomfort. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I keep a regular routine and make sure all pets have plenty of room to play, nap, and feel at home. Since I have a friendly Goldendoodle, pets who stay with me will also have a built-in playmate—unless they prefer solo time, in which case I provide quiet areas just for them. I send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Kaylor had filled in for my current walker who had to cancel a walk unexpectedly. I was so appreciative of her quick responses to my messages and of her flexibility. She handled my highly anxious fur-baby very professionally. Can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need. I have a fenced yard and one high energy doggie that eats twice a day. Potty breaks are always available. I have 2 gentle, loving cats that enjoy being around other people and dogs.
