Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alden

“Nicole and her family took great care of our dogs for 9 days. This was the first time we had left them with a sitter and we were extremely nervous. She sent pictures and videos to keep us updated- which we appreciated as it helped us feel confident that they were in good hands. Our dogs both seemed comfortable and very happy! Nicole was easy to work with and I highly recommend her.”

“Susan was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I never used Rovee before so I was really cautious and overall pretty scared but Susan assured me she'd take great care of Char while I was traveling. I received pictures and videos daily of char as well as text updates. In the videos alone I could tell my dog was not only happy but he felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Susan!”

“Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)”

“Shannon is a true Angel. She cared for our little puppy as though he was her own. He had an amazing time and I got updates all through his stay with her. He worked on his socialization while there and he came back so happy and calm and I can tell he really loved it! Definitely will be calling her for future stays - she is now our go to person.”

“We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!”

“This was my first time using the Rover app and I was a little nervous how it all would work out, but Taylor did a great job taking care of my barn cats while we were gone. I will definitely check into using her again.”

About: I’ve owned cats my whole life, but have had four of my own pretty much since moving out. They are my babies, and I always make sure my oldest gets to drink from the tub when he wants to and a pillow stays by the window for my second oldest to sun bathe.

About: As a future veterinarian, many of my friends have relied on me to care for their cats. Ive done everything from feeding, changing the litter, and even nail clipping. I'm comfortable caring for anxious cats that like to hide away and active cats that like to play and vocalize. I can't wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I bring years of experience as a veterinary tech and positive-reinforcement, force-free trainer. I have cared for dogs through every life stage, from neonates puppies to seniors, always prioritizing safety, enrichment, and emotional well-being in a calm, dog-savvy home. In addition to a fenced area, we have 10 acres for walks and individual play time. My work schedule varies throughout the year, but we always have someone at home to care for our personal pets in addition to any other pets staying with us. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work one-on-one with owners to ensure I can provide individualized care to help every dog feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I provide careful supervision and secure routines ensure the safest environment possible.

About: If you’re looking for a calm, safe place where your dog can relax, play, and get plenty of exercise, you’re in the right spot. I provide dog boarding in a quiet country setting with lots of open space for dogs to run and burn energy. Many dogs feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities, so my goal is to give them a low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will get: • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • Constant supervision and attention • A safe, peaceful environment away from crowded kennels I’ve been around dogs for years and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I take the time to make sure they feel secure, get the activity they need, and settle in like they’re at home. Whether your dog loves to run, explore, or just relax, they’ll have the space and attention they need while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Caring for dogs fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m located in a quiet rural area, dogs staying with me have plenty of space to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors throughout the day. My day typically includes multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure every dog is comfortable and getting the attention they need. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, activity, and rest, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Since I’m around throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I also make sure to send updates and photos so owners can see how their dog is doing while they’re away. Providing a calm, structured environment with lots of outdoor time is a normal part of my day, and I enjoy making sure every dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun stay. When dogs stay with me, I focus on giving them a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and exercise. I live in a quiet rural area, which allows dogs to enjoy lots of outdoor time and space to run, explore, and burn energy throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine that includes regular outdoor breaks, playtime, feeding on their normal schedule, and time to rest so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Every dog is supervised closely to make sure they are safe and adjusting well during their stay. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust care to match their needs—whether that means more playtime, relaxed downtime, or extra attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for.

About: I have been pet-sitting for a little over 2 years. I check water, food, and keep company to cats and dogs. I also have experience watching/walking puppies as young as 6 weeks. I am currently in school and have a part-time job. I am available for walking, house-sitting and drop-in visits every week day and most weekends! I will go to extreme measures to ensure your animal is safe and happy with me whatever the task. I have experience adapting to many different needs.

About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around all types of animals and livestock. I used to work at a veterinary clinic for 3 years, an animal shelter for a year, and now I’m back to livestock. I currently have 3 cats of my own and a dog. I have been around and worked with all types and kinds! I will make sure your pet is comfortable and happy at all times! I do have a full time job, but am very flexible when caring for your animals. I am available week days in the afternoons and most weekends. You let me know what is needed and I can make it work with my schedule! I will give your pet lots of love, attention, and always take care of their every need! I strive to build that bond with them that makes them feel safe!

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care. I am comfortable caring for pets with special diets and administration of oral medicine. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I have flexibility in caring for pets of varying activity levels. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school on weekdays, but I'm available for walks during the lunch hours from 11am - 1pm. I'm also available after 5pm Monday - Friday and have full availability on weekends. Your pet's comfort is my number one concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore or older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has a vestibular issue, so I'm experienced lifting pets to help them up and down stairs and getting into cars. I'm also experienced giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nails, and bathing.
