“Sidney is the best! First time I left my dog Zoey with dog sitter and we couldn’t be happier! She is responsible, caring… even cleaned my house before I cam home. My dog, Zoey is worn out from all the trips to dog park, playing, and got her first pup cup icecream! We will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Bethany was a great dog sitter. She took care of our two pups for a weekend and kept them fed, walked and happy. I really appreciated that she paid attention to the heat and made an effort to take them on early walks. I’ll would hire her again no question!”

“Elena did an amazing job watching our two dogs at our home. She followed their routine perfectly, I don’t even think our dogs knew we were gone! She sent great updates and photos and our two babies absolutely loved her. I felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for them. Will absolutely use her in the future!”

About: I love being around animals and have since I was young. I got a dog when I was 7 and now help my brother care for his dog when he is not available. I know how to train dogs (basics) and love to help them socialize. I am a full time student in college. This means my time/schedule may not coincide with those provided by Rover. However, I am always willing to care for dogs at times between classes! Please message me with specifics for times! I make sure to provide undivided attention to the pets!! I do live in an apartment, so I will not be able to bring any animals home, but I love to visit dogs and play!

“Jackie house sat for our high energy pups. She did a fantastic job with the dogs and taking care of our house! We will certainly book with her again!”

About: I am a nurse looking to help people care for their pets during the day when they’re at work or while out of town. Growing up my family always had a dog, and we had cats since I was 4. For the last 12 years I have had my own dog and eventually added cats to the mix. I am most comfortable with caring for dogs of any size as well as cats. I have also cared for a variety of small animals! I am up for almost anything and can easily learn animal care. Have a special/medical needs or senior pet? No problem! I can administer oral medications and even injections. I work 12 hour shifts so generally have free time for walks several days per week, but not every day. I can also do drop in visits when you’re out of town. During drop in visits I like to get the feeding/cleaning done and then spend some time giving pets some good TLC/cuddles if that is what they like. Even if they’re not super cuddly, sometimes I will bring a book and read quietly so they can have some companionship :)

About: I grew up with a fur baby, pet sitting and walking for my neighbors, and helped train my parents two new mini bernedoodles! 🐾 Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I love to show them love! I am a nurse that works three days a week, mostly consisting of nights and weekends! This allows me to have lots of availability during weekdays as well as some weekends! :) When caring for your pets, my priority is their safety, comfort, and happiness! I will follow your instructions carefully; such as feeding/walk schedules, medication needs, and favorite toys or activities! Please share anything special you would like me to know your pet and their typical routine 🤍🦮🐩

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From daily walks to multi-month dog sitting abroad, I have always treated the pets I work with like family! I am completely flexible! I have been pet sitting abroad and have availability during December and February. I am available for check-ins, walks and longer stays. Knowing the needs of animals is very straight forward for me (some are more high maintenance and that is okay!) That said, if you have a specific routine and expectations of care for your pet those will be respected the entire time.

About: I have had dogs since for my entire life, so I have cared for all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, spending time cuddling with senior dogs, and playing with puppies! I am currently a full time student at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I have a few hours during the weekdays for potty breaks and feeding, and I am available on the weekends. I am willing to pet sit overnight in your home on weeknights, as well as weekends. My apartment is not pet-friendly, so I am not allowed to bring your pets to me, but I will drive to your home to care for your pets there. I will ensure to keep your pets safe, active, and content while you are away.

“Brooke was amazing! The house was spotless when I got home, and Mija was happy and clearly well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent several updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”

Dakota Z.

“Isabelle was wonderful! My two dogs seemed to take to her right away. She sent me updates and photos. I would definitely recommend her!”

Helene V.

“Nicole was my first time ever using a Rover and she made it comfortable and easy! She was great with my dog and had good communication with me before and during my time away. I felt at peace being away from my puppers knowing Nicole was taking good care of her.”
