“Ali took care of our 1.5 year old weimaraner for an overnight. Provided multiple walks and photo updates. Took the dog with her on errands when our dog was exhibiting stress symptoms when left behind”
“Abbey was awesome with our 3 dogs while we were away on vacation for a week! Two of our dogs are very elderly with a few issues and the one younger dog was was a bit anxious in a new setting; Abbey did a great job figuring out what they needed to feel at home and be happy and relaxed! Abbey sent photos and updates as needed and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in good hands.”
“My dog Chloe immediately took to Ty's calm good nature. Ty has great communication and proved to be an excellent dog-sitter! He went above and beyond when he watched her an extra night and day while we were stranded from a snow storm. Would highly recommend him!”
“Tiffany was amazing with my dog! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“She took amazing personal care of my dog, and highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet well taken care of while they're away. She also gave daily updates and pics of my dog while under her care which was greatly appreciated.”
“Rizzo had a great day hanging out with Adela and her fam. Lots of outdoor time in her amazing backyard. Great communication with Adela. Thanks for another great stay! 🐾”
“Obie was well taken care of and he seemed to have a good time, I say Aurora has a great understanding of animal handling. She took him on short notice, I would recommend her expertise to anyone who asks.”
“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We instantly felt comfortable leaving our pups (2 medium sized dogs) when we met them the first time. They updated us with lots of pics of them playing and hanging out with the pups. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“Pip had a wonderful time at Emily’s home with her and her Fiancés dog Frankie! Emily was flexible with scheduling pickup and drop off times and sent plenty of fun photos! Pip will be visiting again!”
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Our little Ronnie was comfortable with Sana the first time he met her. She gave him her undivided attention the entire time he stayed with her. She walked him over 2 1/2 miles during the day and we believe he loved every minute of it. She even got up at 3 am with Ronnie to make sure he got outside to go potty. She sent photos of Ronnie so we could see how good he was doing while we were away from him. We highly recommend Sana and we will be looking for Sana, first, every time we need a dog sitter for Ronnie. Thank you Sana!”
“Chloe’s kennels were perfect for my pupper. Plenty of space to run around and the kennels were separated by a fence so he was able to smell and greet the other dogs. He slept the entire day after he got home! Will use again!”
“Anastasiia was EXCELLENT!! Communication was great and she included daily pictures and videos. My dog has anxiety during storms and she was very compassionate with him. I couldn’t be happier with the way she treated Chipper!!”
“Alex really enjoyed his stay with Myle. She gave the right amount of pictures to show how he is doing. He be came friend with her dogs. We will ask for more dog stays in the future. Thank you for taking care of Alex. Gave us comfort knowing he is doing good. 😀”
“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing Rover services for our dog Ruby. Jamie sent pictures and updates each day. It was such a reassurance knowing Ruby was so well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jamie!!”
“Trish was amazing with Murphy, our 11 month old Lab. We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay! She gave us lots of updates, pics and videos and were pretty sure he would have stayed there forever!! We will be using her every time she lets us :)”

About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.
About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all.

I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when I was younger and have had the privilege to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help I would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a very loving and friendly fur baby to keep your pet company and lots of toys and love to give little one
“Christina is so good with our shy kitty! She’s actually made friends with her. Usually our cat hides from new people. I feel great about leaving Christina in charge of our pet!”

“Amazingx3 ! This is our first time using Rover and we had an amazing experience with Abbey! She took care of our shy fur baby for a day and he had a great day at her place. She updated us frequently with pictures and videos. Her dog Samantha is very friendly and kind to our dog. Overall, would 100% recommend for everyone!”
“Trish is a dog whisperer! I am in IC from Colorado to help my mom with surgery and needed a place for my rowdy 8 month old Aussie/Great Pyrenees to play during the day. Trish loved her like her own pup and sent lots of updates. Hazel came home tired and smiling every day.”

“Fantastic care giver for our dog. Equally fantastic person for dealing with scheduling uncertainties, changes, etc. Will definitely try to have her care for our dog the next time we’re in the Cedar Rapids vicinity. Thanks, Ashleigh!”
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
About: I lost my dog last year and miss taking care of him, now that I have free time on my hands I'm looking to help take care of other dogs like I would my own. I treat pets like family and have experience with administering medications if needed and am willing to learn of any specific needs your pet has to take care of them like you would! I'm currently free most days and stay at home since my school schedule is very light for the next few months and have flexibility in it. I currently don't have any pets so there is no concern for socializing or introducing them. In addition I live in an apartment with a large grassy area where dogs can walk on and will use a leash while doing so to make sure your pet is safe.
“My 9 year old, handicapped, German Shepard, little lady had an awesome time with Aryl, her pack and her family! We've already booked another stay. 🥰 This stay took place over overnight for 7 consecutive nights while I was at work. This was the first time not to allow her to stay at home alone. After a few rough nights alone, getting stuck a couple times, and then not able to make it through the night without apotty break, I knew I needed to find someone. Because Miss Black has lost use of her hind legs and is now in a wheelchair her care is a little more complex. Aryl administered her medication, assisted as needed going potty, and kept her cleaned up and smelling fresh every morning. This has been such a relief knowing she is in good hands. It gave me such peace of mind while I was working. Aryl didn't have any problems reading her communication signs. Even when she had other Rover dogs over, she was able to give Miss Black everything she needed. I believe Aryl's past experiences have given her the insight she needed to provide great care. Instead of wondering what I was going to walk into after a long shift, I was greeted by my smiling pup right inside the door.”
“Our goldendoodle Gus had a wonderful day with Shannon and her husband! Thank you for making Gus feel welcome in your beautiful home. He was one tired pup when he got home from all the walks and playtime with the stuffed toys!”

“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it exceeded our expectations. Ali did a great job caring for our 4 1/2 year old black lab, George. Ali was easy to get in touch with and attended to George’s medical issues requiring meds and exercise restrictions. George was clearly well cared for and loved.? Highly recommended!”
“Auden was fantastic! Communication was great throughout the day along with photos of our pup playing and on walks! We definitely would love Auden to watch our dog again!”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small pets like mice, rats, hamsters, and fish, I bring a lifetime of knowledge and passion to pet care. I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 7 years of veterinary experience and 1 year working in a pet resort, so I’m skilled at safely handling pets of all temperaments — from nervous pups to the spiciest of cats (I have one of my own!). I’m also experienced with administering medications and providing calm, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I have plenty of time to provide your pets with all the attention, care, and love they need. With my veterinary technician background, safety and trust are always my top priorities. While in your home, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m skilled in reading body language, handling nervous or fractious pets, and administering medications when needed. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with plenty of patience, compassion, and attention to their unique needs.
About: I have experience pet sitting as well as currently working at a Doggy Daycare/Boardinh facility! I grew up on a farm, so I am used to working with animals, and I also have pets of my own! I have taken care of a large variety of pets, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am also used to giving medication to pets that require it! I currently am working part time at a pet care facility, so I would love to incorporate more pet care into my life! I am happy to help wherever I can, however early or late needed! I have a great ability to read a pets body language and help them get used to me when visiting them in home. I also understand boundaries and love walking pets, while also keeping them under control and safe!
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.

About: I have had and cared for pets most my life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other rodents. I currently simultaneously take care of a black lab and border collie frequently. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I care for a black lab and a border collie on a regular basis, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs that need both physical activity and attention. Walks, playtime, and keeping them on their routine are a natural part of their care. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, and other small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs—whether that’s active play, quiet companionship, or simply a calm, consistent presence. Making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy fits seamlessly into my everyday life. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment, whether in my home or a client’s home, and I follow routines and instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, exercise, and any special care. In my home, pets receive close supervision, structure, and plenty of attention. I stay alert to behavior and surroundings to ensure pets are safe at all times. My goal is dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’m attentive, patient, and very tuned in to dogs’ individual needs and personalities. I love giving dogs plenty of time outside with walks, hikes, and safe play, along with calm companionship and structure. I’m experienced with basic obedience and fun training, including sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, heel, and more. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, providing mental stimulation, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I meet them where they are and treat them like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize dog care throughout the day. As a photographer, I can plan my shoots around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I don’t have many long, all-day commitments this year. This means I’m available for consistent walks, extended visits, and quality one-on-one time. I love being active and would genuinely enjoy filling my schedule with caring for dogs and keeping them happy, exercised, and well attended to.

“Abbey was awesome with our 3 dogs while we were away on vacation for a week! Two of our dogs are very elderly with a few issues and the one younger dog was was a bit anxious in a new setting; Abbey did a great job figuring out what they needed to feel at home and be happy and relaxed! Abbey sent photos and updates as needed and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in good hands.”
“My dog Chloe immediately took to Ty's calm good nature. Ty has great communication and proved to be an excellent dog-sitter! He went above and beyond when he watched her an extra night and day while we were stranded from a snow storm. Would highly recommend him!”

“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We instantly felt comfortable leaving our pups (2 medium sized dogs) when we met them the first time. They updated us with lots of pics of them playing and hanging out with the pups. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”

“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Chloe’s kennels were perfect for my pupper. Plenty of space to run around and the kennels were separated by a fence so he was able to smell and greet the other dogs. He slept the entire day after he got home! Will use again!”

We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay!
