Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cooper
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cooper
“Maggie stayed with Samantha for 3 days while we were out of town. We felt assured our puppy was safe and happy while we were away! Maggie loves Samantha’s dogs and the others there to play all day. We got pictures and updates in which Maggie literally had a little puppy smile. I cannot recommend Samantha more to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 100% will return for any pet care we need in the future!”
“Shawna and her family watched our lab while we were out of the country and we felt very good about leaving her with them! She gave us great updates and our lab loved having space to run and play.”
“Angela and Dan were amazing. They treated Buddy like he was their own. I know he felt so safe and loved. He was tired when he came home because he had so much fun going on walks! I loved all of the pictures they sent!”
“Olivia did a fantastic job. She kept me posted on how my girls were doing and gave me pictures of them each day we were gone. I will book again with her if she is willing to deal with my crazy dogs again! 🙃”
“This was our first Rover experience, and Ben made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire stay. He sent pictures and videos daily, took Murphy on walks and to the dog park, and cared for Murphy’s hotspot by putting cream on each day. It looked like Murphy had the best time!”
About: I have loved pets all my life. Growing up, our family had a dog, and I had two rabbits. Now my family is full of six dogs and lots of hair. I currently have two golden retrievers — Midas and Enzo. They are 4 years old and 11 weeks old! The puppy phase has been fun to enjoy again. In the past I have dog and cat sat and also worked at a grooming facility. I have worked at a veterinary clinic as well. At the clinic, I was an assistant so I interacted with each animal making their visit a positive experience. I am currently working full-time during the weekdays. I can check in on your furry family member early in the morning and as soon as 4pm in the afternoons! Many of my weekends are free! So I have lots of time to prioritize your pet. I will treat your pets as I treat mine. I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and want every pet to have a positive experience. Each fur-baby I watch will be spoiled to the max!

About: I have had pets my whole life from dogs to cats. I have been pet sitting professionally for 4 years now. And have worked in an animal shelter for one year as a caretaker. I like to take pets out for potty breaks around noon, morning, and evening during the week, offering walks when available. And stay at homes for overnight care on the weekends. I keep a clean home and make sure pets are clean and calm. I will treat your home with respect, and am honest about mistakes or issues that arise.

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.
About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!! I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking
