“Sybil did an excellent job taking care of my two older male dogs. I'm starting to think my dogs like her more than they like me! :-) Sybil even went out of her way to replace a broken collar light on one of the dogs, which she didn’t have to do. Her effort exceeded my expectations and is greatly appreciated.”
“Courtney is the best sitter we’ve ever had! She has such genuine care for pets and was so kind to our cat Hazel. From giving her all the playtime and cuddles she needed to sharing the cutest visit photos, Courtney will keep your mind at ease and your pets happy while you’re away.”

“Daniela was so amazing with Chase! She was so patient and allowed my pup to really warm up to her! My mind was at ease knowing that my pup was safe with her while on vacation. Can’t wait to book her again!”
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”

About: Hello my name is Beverly. I am an experienced pet sitter/walker. I’m off for the summer so I am available at all times. I live in a quiet neighborhood and love jogging with your fur babies! I love cuddles on the couch with them. I have a closed fenced backyard and live with my husband. No pets of my own currently. I’m off for the summer so open availability. I’m home most of the days and if I’m not I’m usually just stopping to get groceries or going to workout I really take the time and patience to make sure they feel safe with me and most importantly loved. They are always welcome to sleep with me in bed or cuddle on the couch. 🤍

About: I’ve been a pet owner since 2012, and, ever since then, my heart has been full of love for animals of all types. I’ve helped raise, love, and care for dogs, cats, and small pets. I have a bit of basic knowledge in training and am hoping to gain more. I hope to help care for your critters! I am currently an online student so I have a bit of a flexible schedule! I can be available between the mid-morning and evening, given notice. Weekends are reserved for homework and assignments. I have lots of experience with crates and critters. I have also been in several spaces, including my own, with multiple pets so I do have experience with managing relationships between animals. I have bathed dogs and cats, as well as provided oral and topical medications.

About: Hi! I’m Shannon, a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves patience, kindness, and a great walk to brighten their day. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities: from bouncy puppies who need structure to sweet seniors who appreciate a slower, gentler pace. People describe me as calm, reliable, and incredibly tuned in to what each dog needs to feel safe and happy. I take the time to learn your dog’s routines, preferences, and quirks so they can enjoy every walk or visit. Whether you need regular walks, drop‑ins, or occasional help, I’m here to provide stress‑free, trustworthy care you can feel good about. I’d love to learn more about your pup and what makes them special. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring walker, feel free to reach out and set up a meet‑and‑greet. I’m excited to meet you both and see if we’re the right fit. Currently, I am available daily after 3:15 pm and on weekends for drop in care, neighborhood walks, car rides, or whatever else your best friend needs. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well‑loved while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect: *Respect for your home and routines: I treat your space with care and follow all house rules exactly as you outline them (ie. feeding schedules, crate routines, treat limits, preferred walking routes, and anything else that matters to you) *A calm, comforting presence: I take time to help your dog feel relaxed and understood. Whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or a little anxious, I adjust my approach to match their personality. *Safety first: I double‑check doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes before every walk or potty break. I’m attentive to your dog’s body language and surroundings to keep them safe and happy. *Cleanliness and care: I tidy up after meals, walks, and playtime, and make sure your dog’s space stays clean and comfortable. If accidents happen, I handle them promptly and respectfully. *Communication you can count on: you’ll receive updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. *Personalized attention: every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their needs, whether that’s extra playtime, slow snuggly moments, mental enrichment, or a quiet presence nearby. My goal is to make your time away worry‑free and to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.

“Susset was on time for each visit and really catered to Ruth’s walk preferences. She also kept her head when she encountered an unexpected house alarm! We will use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little. I love walking and playing with dogs. I also love to give treats and train little tricks with dogs. I like to take dogs on long walks and have since I was little. I also love playing tug of war and fetch with dogs. I work part time only on the weekend so I have a lot of time during the week to play and walk dogs. I also love to meet new dogs and enjoy to play with dogs. During the week I have a lot of free time and enjoy walking throughout the day. I have a small inside dog that I walk often and I also know how to crate dogs if need be. I also have an inside cat so I know how to deal with both animals. I often dog sit family friends dogs that range from small pugs to big German shepherd mixes and have learned how to work with both. I also know how to give pill medication to dog s safely.

About: I’m 30 and have had dogs my entire life. I have two of our own — a 36-lb mini Sheepadoodle and a 13-lb Yorkie mix — so used to different sizes and energy levels. I regularly dog sit for friends, and often have their dogs stay with us while they’re on vacation. I am very comfortable having extra dogs in the house and keeping things structured and calm. I live in a home with two separate fenced yards, so there’s plenty of safe space to play or relax. My job permits me to work from home often, which means the dogs aren’t be left alone for long stretches. I also volunteer with the SPCA 3–4 times a month (10+ hours), working hands-on with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m a full-time realtor, so my schedule is flexible and I work from home often. That allows me to be around consistently and adjust my day as needed for walks, playtime, and supervision. I am active with our own dogs — take them to the park as often as possible and walk them 2–4 times per week. Staying engaged with them is already part of my routine, so adding another dog fits naturally into the day. I home with two separate fenced-in yards, which gives dogs secure outdoor space to play and relax safely. My two dogs are well-socialized and regularly exposed to family members' dogs as well as new dogs at the dog park. Because I often dog sit for friends and I volunteer regularly with the SPCA, I am very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and introductions in a calm, structured way.
Urbandale-Parkdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erica was great! She took very good care of my dog, Abby. Abby was ill during the visit and Erica did a wonderful job administering pills and making sure my girl was OK. Erica is an extremely good communicator, very dependable, and left detailed rover cards. I highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience with Carly. My cat is very shy, and she was patient, gentle, and did her best to make him feel safe and comfortable. I was away during a freeze, and she went above and beyond by not only checking on my cat but also my home. I’m so grateful for her care and reliability and would absolutely book her again.

Cassidy was my first sitter through Rover and was such an amazing help over the holidays! She immediately bonded with Pumpkin and showed her so much love and care. She also came by beforehand to get to know Pumpkin before pet sitting and even helped out when we had an apartment flood scare. Such a positive and bright person and I couldn’t be more relieved to have found such a great sitter!
