“Darcie and Hope took great care of Layla! The communication is thorough and she sends lots of pictures. Layla loved playing the other dogs and enjoyed her vacation! Would absolutely use her again.”

“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”

“This was Coconut's first stay with Amanda, and I think she really bonded with her. Amanda was flexible with times, and she has her own dogs that Coconut loved to play with! Since Coconut is used to sleeping in bed with me, Amanda let her sleep in her bed to make sure she was comfortable. She also sent pictures which I loved. I would highly recommend Amanda!”

“Ali & James were so great with our puppy! He got to interact with their 2 dogs all the time so it was like a vacation for my dog too. They promptly sent photos and videos, room our dog for walks and also had a small pool session with other dogs as well. All in all my dog had a blast. Would definitely return to them next time!”

“Emma had a great visit with Tiffany and family. They are welcoming and I found it comforting the way that Emma felt comfortable with them right away. I was traveling and staying at a hotel because of a family wedding. When so sm in town again I will definitely use them to take care of Emma. (My12 year old Shiipoo).”


“Jason was an awesome all around dog sitter! He took my puppy for a weekend of boarding on very short notice. He was very responsive and able to quickly get up to speed on my dog’s tendencies and needs. He frequently sent updates throughout the weekend and I could tell was very active and engaged, taking several trips to the dog park and providing treats and toys. His dog Timber was the perfect buddy for my pup to play with all weekend long. I’ll reach out to Jason again for boarding and would recommend to anyone in the area.”

“Susan was on point with all the things I was looking for!! Great communication from start to finish, very welcoming and attentive to my needs and requests, sent pictures and updates and my doggie absolutely loved his stay and good bye snuggles. Will definitely book again!!”

“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!”

“Laylah is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our 13 year old shihtzu while we were out of town and he was so well taken care of by her! She was great at communicating with us, always very responsive in a timely manner. She shared videos and photos of our pup every day. She also offered to take him to the dog park and for walks, making sure he was comfortable and safe. I also appreciated Laylah’s flexibility and willingness to work with us the entire time. I was nervous about using Rover, this was our first time and I absolutely recommend not only the app but especially Laylah. Thank you! Gisele”

“An AMAZING sitter. Is extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. Worked with me on short notice to help with a scheduling issue that forced me to drop off my pup a bit earlier than discussed and sent me daily pictures while I was away. 100/100 would absolutely work with her again.”

“Adela was wonderful with our boys. She communicated often, sent photos and kept us up to date on how they were doing. She was very calm and caring when one of them seemed to have caught a bug. We felt horrible about it, but she assured it was ok and he was getting better. Thank you Adela!”

“We could not have been happier with our experience with Ashley. Our boys loved their 'vacation' and she sent lots of updates and pics. She was understanding and accommodating with our dogs special needs. She has a great pet-friendly safe fenced yard. Lots of room to play. We will use Ashley again :)”

“Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!”

“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”

“Grace was a perfect fit for our spoiled little girl! Her dog Archer, is a sweet and mellow boy. We rebooked Ellie with Grace when we picked her up on Sunday, for later in the week already. We felt that comfortable with her!”

“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”


“Nora is great! I always know my Finley will get such good attention. He loves belly rubs and treats of carrots and she always makes sure he gets these! i want to wish her a very Merry Christmas.”

“Hailey went above and beyond! We loved getting the updates and photos! She asked great questions and made sure our loved ones were well cared for while we were gone! Definitely highly recommend Hailey!!”


“Sierra did a great job dealing with my antisocial Sunny. She's a one person cat. When I got back she was mad at me but well fed and healthy. I appreciate the way Sierra followed my instructions.”


About: I’ve had cats ever since I was growing up, and I’ve always had a deep love and connection with all pets, but cats specifically. Every cat has a special and unique personality and I love that about them! I have experience caring for cats of all different personalities and am happy to provide and care for your cat the way that’s most like home to them. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, and giving you peace of mind while away.
About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats and have cared for families pets over the years. I used to have 2 cats! I love to spend time with animals and go for walks! I frequently dog sit for my sisters lab! I would love to take care of your baby! 🥰 I’m currently working full time Mon-Fri! The best time for me is weekends! I am very flexible and have a lot of time on my hands! I am on the first floor of an apartment with a walk out patio to a huge grass area! There is also a dog park and trail nearby!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

“Darcie really helped us out, accepting our last-minute booking for our Giant Schnauzer puppy, Iris, without hesitation! Iris undoubtedly had a great time, with access to lots of sunshine and outside play in the large fenced-in yard - just what she needs. We will definitely reach out to Darcie in the future!”

“This was my first time leaving my doggo with anyone from River and Ali was amazing! She was able to care for Benito, my Golden Retriever for a long day while I went to visit family just outside of town. She sent me updates regularly and Benito had a great time. She was super mindful of the cold weather and made sure Benito was safe from too extreme temperatures and still made sure to get some exercise and play time in. I appreciate Ali and know to reach out to her again when I need someone trustworthy to watch him for me whenever needed.”

Penny was always excited to go to doggy day care and super happy when I picked her up from a long day of playing. I would definitely use Emily again and recommend her for any of your fur babies.”

About: Hello, my name is Crystal. I'm conveniently located in Monticello, Iowa. It's halfway between Cedar Rapids and Dubuque. I've been around animals my whole life, especially dogs and cats. Growing up, we had quite a variety of pets. We had various tropical fishes, dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even snakes. I am a reliable, trustworthy, and detail oriented person. I will provide your loved one(s) with the best care while looking after them. You can contact me anytime for a Meet & Greet. I'm available for short & long-term care.

Your pets safety, and environment are my #1 priority. I'll regularly send updates with photos. Let me know how you like things done.
“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.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, I’ve done dogsitting gigs for 5 years on weekends and in the summers. Walking, feeding, watering, playing, and of course cleaning up after the dogs. I love taking walks, so going on walks with dogs makes it so much better. Four years ago, I helped my parents when they got a new puppy, and cared for it, learning how to take care of dogs on my own, another reason why I love dogs. I love the energy, and the happiness dogs bring off to humans. I’m a teacher in the summer with all the time off to take care of pets! During the school year I enjoy taking care of other pets as well! I treat pets at my home or a clients home as the nicest way I can. With knowing it is my clients dog, I will always do my absolute best to give it all its needs, and make the dog as comfortable and happy as possible. I want to give my care to them in the time I’m able to spend with them.

When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals!

About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.

I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.

About: I have had dogs and loved them my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers and St Benards so the big ones definitely have my heart. I currently have two Border Collie X Australian Shepherd mixes that are incredibly friendly and smart. I started my pet professional career out in 2012 as a kennel technician at the Clinton Humane Society. I have worked for two different vet clinics as a vet technician giving medications, doing ivs, doing wound care, and being apart of surgery staff. I do some special handling dog training for anxious and semi aggressive dogs. My passion for special handling dogs started when I trained as a pet stylist. I got hands on experience helping stressed dogs relax and make situations better for them. I currently work in the Quad Cities as a pet stylist, working with both dogs and cats. I am very familiar and comfortable working with all kinds of animals be it furry, scaley or feathery. I do animal care for individual animals and also for hobby farms with chickens, ducks, goats, llamas and sheep. I am a very particular person when it comes to my own animals' care. Being very detailed oriented and handling your pets care is important to me. I think they deserve their care to be attentive and comfortable. Animals are not only something I am very passionate about but what I have revolved my life around. My days start around 5-5:30am. I typically take the dogs for a walk and have an hour to give them a bathroom break. I work as a pet stylist from 7-3:30. I can give bathroom breaks on my lunch break as needed. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I have a fenced in back/side yard where I monitor dogs so they can be off leash if they are able to be trusted. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid. I deep clean and sanitize everything frequently.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

“Darcie and Hope took great care of Layla! The communication is thorough and she sends lots of pictures. Layla loved playing the other dogs and enjoyed her vacation! Would absolutely use her again.”

“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”

“This was Coconut's first stay with Amanda, and I think she really bonded with her. Amanda was flexible with times, and she has her own dogs that Coconut loved to play with! Since Coconut is used to sleeping in bed with me, Amanda let her sleep in her bed to make sure she was comfortable. She also sent pictures which I loved. I would highly recommend Amanda!”

“Ali & James were so great with our puppy! He got to interact with their 2 dogs all the time so it was like a vacation for my dog too. They promptly sent photos and videos, room our dog for walks and also had a small pool session with other dogs as well. All in all my dog had a blast. Would definitely return to them next time!”

“Auden was spectacular! Our dog sitter fell through at the last minute and Auden accepted our two-year old Pomsky literally two days before our trip. Hazy loved it there and really made a new friend in Auden’s dog Yen. She sent us pics and videos all throughout the week which were extremely appreciated. Will definitely rebook next time we go out of town!”

“Emma had a great visit with Tiffany and family. They are welcoming and I found it comforting the way that Emma felt comfortable with them right away. I was traveling and staying at a hotel because of a family wedding. When so sm in town again I will definitely use them to take care of Emma. (My12 year old Shiipoo).”


“Jason was an awesome all around dog sitter! He took my puppy for a weekend of boarding on very short notice. He was very responsive and able to quickly get up to speed on my dog’s tendencies and needs. He frequently sent updates throughout the weekend and I could tell was very active and engaged, taking several trips to the dog park and providing treats and toys. His dog Timber was the perfect buddy for my pup to play with all weekend long. I’ll reach out to Jason again for boarding and would recommend to anyone in the area.”

“Laylah is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our 13 year old shihtzu while we were out of town and he was so well taken care of by her! She was great at communicating with us, always very responsive in a timely manner. She shared videos and photos of our pup every day. She also offered to take him to the dog park and for walks, making sure he was comfortable and safe. I also appreciated Laylah’s flexibility and willingness to work with us the entire time. I was nervous about using Rover, this was our first time and I absolutely recommend not only the app but especially Laylah. Thank you! Gisele”

“An AMAZING sitter. Is extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. Worked with me on short notice to help with a scheduling issue that forced me to drop off my pup a bit earlier than discussed and sent me daily pictures while I was away. 100/100 would absolutely work with her again.”

“Adela was wonderful with our boys. She communicated often, sent photos and kept us up to date on how they were doing. She was very calm and caring when one of them seemed to have caught a bug. We felt horrible about it, but she assured it was ok and he was getting better. Thank you Adela!”

“We could not have been happier with our experience with Ashley. Our boys loved their 'vacation' and she sent lots of updates and pics. She was understanding and accommodating with our dogs special needs. She has a great pet-friendly safe fenced yard. Lots of room to play. We will use Ashley again :)”

“Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!”

“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”

“Aryal is very knowledgeable and has a great setup for hosting kitties! She took excellent care of both cats and helped one get recover from an eye infection. I also appreciate the detailed updates and photos! Thank you so much for your help!”
