“We had the best experience with Angie! Although we were 1st time users of Rover, from the moment we met Angie, we knew our beloved Thunder would be in the best hands possible for his very 1st overnight stay away from home. Angie kept us updated with periodic pics & videos throughout his stay with her, which was such an awesome touch. I hope our next Rover sitter will be able to live up to Angie's standards because she's set the bar very high!!”
“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”

About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.
“I loved boarding our puppy with Eric. He met Apollo before we booked just to make sure it was a right, which I really appreciated. Plus I got to meet him before I handed my puppy over. It was Apollo’s first time away from me and I felt like I could be stress free on a vacation knowing he was taken care of. And when we picked him up he seemed happy. Boarding with Eric was such a peace of mind!”

“Adriana definitely eased our minds while we were away on vacation! Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!”
“Nova our wild girl was entertained and exercised everyday!!! She was treated like family and made herself at home with Shelby!! Thank you for watching and taking care of her!!”

“Jordon has done extended stays caring for my long haired cat, Oliver. Oliver really doesn’t like to be social with anyone, but me! Jordon sends pictures everyday and to my surprise some of the pics….Oliver is sitting next to and relaxing with Jordon. He is very responsible & caring. He goes above and beyond. I will ask for Jordon every time I need someone to stay with Oliver while I’m away. Thank you, Jordon!”
“Rachel was GREAT! She was able to help out with our dog at the last minute when we decided to go out of town and couldn't take our dog along! Dozer has a lot of anxiety and doesn't do well with boarding, so having someone who could come into our home and care for him was a perfect solution!!”

Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!”

About: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I took care of them since I was 12. I regularly fed, walked, played with, washed, and brushed our dogs. I have trained our two previous dogs with simple commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and come. I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for pets! Weekdays typically work better for me as I tend to travel on the weekends. I have always believed that every animal deserves all the love in the world, and I follow that in my every day life. I’m comfortable in almost any situation regarding animals, and have plenty of experience with crates and other measures to keep our furry friends from wreaking havoc within the house.
About: I am very passionate about animals and they have my heart. I have raised my own rescue dog, who is now 14 years old. I also have been an animal caretaker at a boarding facility providing all levels of care, including administering medications. I had my own pet sitting business in Arkansas where I cared for animals in my home and at clients homes. I also worked with Rover in Denver, CO! I LOVE animals, I volunteer with many animal organizations and I am a huge animal advocate. I am a student in massage therapy school, I am getting certified to be a yoga therapist, I teach yoga AND I am currently bartending as well! I would love to help you take care of your babies when you cannot make it to them. I know how important it is. My schedule varies, but lets work it out so I can help you!!! I keep all dogs on leashes, I bring water on very hot days and love to get them socialized if that is part of what you would like for your dog! I also love to spend time snuggling with dogs and cats in their home to make sure they are comforted and trust me.
About: Hey I'm Syd! I've always had a big heart for animals! I think my family started taking notice when I kept my walmart goldfish alive for 10 years! I recently had to put my childhood cat down and am looking to love on pets to fill the void. My friend began pet sitting on the rover app and when she moved away I took over one of her clients. (Who you will probably notice in most my pics!) We love going on walks, going for pup cup runs, going to grooming appointments together, and even going to the store once and awhile together to pick out new toys. I can quite confidently say I see him as a friend and love taking him to as many event as possible! My friends always ask if he can come to one of our favorite events, tailgating! I am a full time college student at UNI and work part time in retail. I almost always can spend the night if need be and come to the home for potty breaks as needed. I've lived in the same neighborhood for almost my whole life and feel very comfortable taking strolls around the neighborhood. My mom works from home and is almost always around. We live less than a mile away from the dog park and near a beautiful nature reserve and trail we frequent often :)
About: Good pups are a huge portion of my life. I was raised around animals and cared for others pets while living with family and independently and all of my free time is spent caring for my six pets: Spencer the fish, Yato & Yuki kitties, Tilly & Deku pups, and Peter the rabbit. So anytime to care is a good time to call. I am a full-time healthcare worker at Shell Rock Senior Living that loves to be active and to have an interactive lifestyle. I would be available during most morning and afternoon hours to provide any pet care you would need. We have a decent and clean home and yard in the Cedar Valley that we share in a lovely neighborhood that has welcomed us and our fur babies. We go on walks and play outside with our two dogs and pet rabbit Peter. We also are lucky enough to share our pets with the residents at Shell Rock and take them in quite often. Any pet is welcome with us!

About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in! My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!
“Tyler was great! His communication was top notch. We received regular updates during the stay and you could tell that the dogs were having a good time. I will certainly be using him again the next opportunity I can.”
“Jenny did a great job making my anxious dog comfortable. She also did a great job making this anxious owner comfortable by sending pictures and updates throughout Comet's time at her house. Thank you Jenny!”
“Dutch had such an awesome day at Angie’s! Angie was great, responsive, flexible on our unknown times, and sent us great photos and videos. This was our first experience for a sitter and it couldn’t have been any better. Thank you!”
About: Since I was young, I have always been around pets of all sizes. My parents had dogs of all types and sizes which range from a large German Shepherd/Siberian husky mix all the way down to a cute little Cockapoo. We love on all of our animals and treat them just as family, they are our entire world! Throughout the time, I got my fair share of walking the dogs daily, feeding them morning and night (unless they were a puppy that required more) and just being able to love on them all the time! I have raised all 4 dogs alongside my family so I am aware of what to do in circumstances! Walking dogs is a great time for both me and your dog because they get exercise and I get to relax with nature and a pup! Caring for dogs and seeing their tails wag when their owner or loved one comes in the door is one of the sweetest things to see! I'm currently a student at UNI and have a part time job in Waterloo. Having the flexibility in my own schedule allows me to pay more attention and care towards your furry friend! I have a fenced in yard that is big enough for even large dogs to burn off tremendous energy as well as an open floor plan. This allows for the dogs to not feel cramped up and have enough space to lay and play indoors as well.
“Rachel was great! Very friendly, open and responsive! And she was so considerate and kind around this being Cosmo’s first time away from home without family -both with him and with me. I appreciated her updates too. Plan to have Cosmo visit again. Thank you!”
“Baylee is wonderful. I trust her completely with my elderly dog. She's very knowledgeable about the proper way to introduce dogs to each other and it's obvious she cares deeply about animals”

From making sure doors and gates are securely shut, to triple checking medicine before it’s given and using an additional slip lead for walks and transport, nothing goes unnoticed!
About: I love animals. I have been around a huge variety from farm animals, to reptiles, from birds to domestic pets. I raised lambs, volunteered at a dog shelter, and have my lovely horse to care for now. I love big dogs and think they are often misunderstood. I will always follow your care instructions and will keep you updated on your pet to ease your mind while you are away. I work 2 part time jobs. I work fast food and I babysit. I do not work on Sundays, but the rest of the week my fast food job schedule varies. I know on Thursday the week before what my next weeks schedule is and will never accept jobs that I know would cause me to not properly care for your pet. I don't offer services from my home, but I am knowledgeable to know how to crate your pet if needed, safely attach harnesses, and will check all doors and locks before I leave your property to ensure your pet doesn't escape. I will make sure all water bowls and food bowls are clean, and that water bowls are filled each time I leave.
“Baylee is AMAZING! She was able to meet with me right away, and fit Winston in next day. She worked around my schedule and made me feel super comfortable. Listened to all my worries and made me feel so much better having a sitter. Winston absolutely loved her :) I wil definitely be re booking with her for any of my needs.”

About: I have experience with puppies to senior dogs. I love walking, and walk my dog approximately four miles a day. My energy matches that of a youthful pup! I’m an early riser, so I can get your dog ready to take on his/her day with healthy exercise! Most weekdays are spent at home, so I’m happy to visit and/or walk your pet to tire him/her for bed. I am a full-time working Mom, but can help care for your pet with advanced notice.

About: I recently graduated with my Masters in social work and am practicing as a mental health therapist with a flexible schedule. I have had a few cats growing up and still have 2 dogs back home. I currently have 3 cats and are my fur babies! I have not only played and taken care of them most of my life, but also have helped train service dogs at Retrieving Freedom as a part of one of my college classes. Giving them food, baths, and bringing them on long walks, or to a park to play are all things that I have experience with due to being a pet owner myself. I have the ability to work from home some days as I am working to build a client case load, and usually am in the office no more than 4-6hours at a time. Watching and caring for pets would fit well into my schedule as I have most early mornings, some afternoons and later in the evenings free. I am just starting my career as a therapist and love caring for animals in my free time. Pet sitting works well with my schedule as I create my own schedule every week around when I have clients. I make sure I obtain as much information from the owner beforehand and do meet and greets to ensure safety for when I care for their pets.
About: My name is Meagan and I have loved animals from the beginning of time. I have a rottweiler named Karl and a pit mix named Roman, so big dogs don't seem to phase me. I am in the process of getting my animal science degree from Ellsworth Community College with dreams of vet school in the future. I have a background of dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cattle and equine. I have watched family friends dogs for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to animals from other homes. I have never met an animal I didn't like and I'm not about to start now. I look forward to spending time with many more animals that will enter my life in the future.

I will walk your dogs around town as much as they need and they will be fed on time. I have 3 pets at home I take care of, my dog spot and 2 cats Tom and Tita. (Not named by me)

“Bethany was so good to our aussie!! She kept us updated with photos and several messages!! Our pup looked so happy in every photo. Would 100% recommend booking with Bethany & I will be using her again!! 😊”
“Deirdre was absolutely amazing. She sent many pictures and updates. After meeting her I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving my Fur baby with her. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“Emily was awesome to work with to meet our needs as a first timer needing dog sitting and with the meet and greet with Daisy! Daisy’s 5 day stay with Emily was great! We were very satisfied.”
“We had the best experience with Angie! Although we were 1st time users of Rover, from the moment we met Angie, we knew our beloved Thunder would be in the best hands possible for his very 1st overnight stay away from home. Angie kept us updated with periodic pics & videos throughout his stay with her, which was such an awesome touch. I hope our next Rover sitter will be able to live up to Angie's standards because she's set the bar very high!!”
“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”
“This was the first time using Rover and found Jen! She is amazing and took really good care of my furbabies!! Jen keep me up to date on how they were doing! We will be calling on her again!!”
“Could not have asked for a better pet sitter! He kept me updated with lots of pictures, communicated consistently, and made sure my dogs got plenty of exercise. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Truly a 10/10 will definitely book again and recommend to anyone.”
“I loved boarding our puppy with Eric. He met Apollo before we booked just to make sure it was a right, which I really appreciated. Plus I got to meet him before I handed my puppy over. It was Apollo’s first time away from me and I felt like I could be stress free on a vacation knowing he was taken care of. And when we picked him up he seemed happy. Boarding with Eric was such a peace of mind!”
About: I grew up on a small farm with dogs being part of my life since birth. I have had some classes in dog training and take care of my parents dogs on the routine. I love spending time with dogs and would take care you pup with the tender loving care each dog needs. I am open most mornings and be willing to board on the weekends. While you are at work your lovable animals can get their much needed walks and attention. Additional details upon request. I have plenty of space and a small yard. I keep an active lifestyle so long walks will be a must. Open to discussing any special needs.
“Adriana definitely eased our minds while we were away on vacation! Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!”
“Nova our wild girl was entertained and exercised everyday!!! She was treated like family and made herself at home with Shelby!! Thank you for watching and taking care of her!!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets of all kinds my entire life, as well as worked at a boarding facility for 4 years that took in dogs and cats (as well as the occasional rodent, pig or reptile) I’ll treat your pet of any kind like my own! i’m currently working part time from monday to friday and will have most availability on weekends, but i do have a a very flexible work schedule and can try to make it work! I prefer caring at a clients home due to the fact that i have cats of my own that are uncomfortable with unfamiliar pets. i’ll provide care to your specifications to ensure your pet is as comfortable and loved as possible!
