Personalized care for your dog or cat - De Witt
Highly-rated overnight sitters - De Witt
“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+ 🌟)”
“Darcie was fantastic! 100% would recommend. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior to the stay and I could tell it was going to be a great fit. She took excellent care of our pup. Darcie also communicated daily and can tell she has a love for dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better week. If you are thinking of booking with Darcie - don’t hesitate!”
“Audrey was a gracious host for my dog. She took excellent care of him and his needs while I was away. She even enlightened me that my dog was fond of cats 😳 I had no idea, but I think her care and introduction had something to do with it 😉 I’m not looking forward to leaving town again but when I do, I hope Audrey, and her family, are available to care for my fur kid..”
“Mark was awesome to work with. He was very accommodating, he sent us pictures during Marcy’s stay and she seemed to really enjoy being there. It was her first stay with someone other than family and it went great. We will definitely be calling Mark again the next time we need a pet sitter!! 🐕🦺🐾❤️”
“Heather was very attentive to our Jude. She sent many pictures of all the attention he was getting while staying with her. She is knowledgeable in how to deal with all situatiions, big or small when it comes to caring for your pet. She has a very friendly dog of her own, Zephyr, who share his home with Jude graciously. I would highly recommend Heather for the care of your dog.”
“Corinna did a terrific job with caring for Rizzo and keeping us aware of how he was doing with text and pictures. We would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to others.”
About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second time she has watched my French Bulldog, and I couldn't be happier. This time she cared for him for almost 10 days, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated, made sure he was well cared for, and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”
“Our dog had a blast! got lots of photos. Sherry and Mike were very easy to work with and maintained communication/flexabilty. Would absolute send Finn here again!”
About: I am also a dog parent and have been for over 12 years. My fur babies consume most my days and why not spread the happiness! I have walked and cared for others here in town and have been given great compliments and encouragement to help others thru this app since it's convenient and trusted! My routine mostly revolves around my fur babies. Morning we spend 2.5 -3 hours exercising exploring and making friends. Afternoon and night time another 30-45 min each one for potty and walk. It'll be very easy to include your pups they'll love the activities and best of all find some of what they're looking for 💚 In home ... each have bed/ room/ crate to be in. In your home i will care for your pet as you requested. Feeding the amount as per pet parent, meds or crate as per owner request
“Katie and her family treated Heidi like she was part of theirs! She sent me photos and a video while I was at the game. This reassured me to know that Heidi was being treated like family while I was out of town. I'll definitely use Katie's services again.”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Vector, while we were on vacation! She did such an amazing job, she sent us lots of photos and updates so we always knew how he was doing, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that she gave him so much love and attention while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”

“McKenzie did a great job of taking care of our kitties and giving our one cat his medicine each day. We really appreciated the pictures and messages each day that we were away.”
“Shannon was awesome! She communicated extremely well and made sure she knew exactly what our dog needed. She sent pictures and updates every visit. She went above & beyond by walking him & picking up his poo in the yard. Will absolutely hire again.”
“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.”
About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.
About: I have experience house/dog sitting. In the past year, I've watched and taken care of three large dogs, a Boxer, and two Labradors, many times. For about two weeks or more depending on the owner's schedule. The boxer has some health issues so I also have some experience with giving medication. I've taken care of two Great Danes who I would classify as loving adorable couch potatoes. I also own two small dogs. My first dog was a Maltese she lived till she was ten but the last year of her life she also had some health issues. I currently have a dog who is also a Maltese Bichon Frise mix who just turned eleven. He is energetic so I'm a very active person and can keep up with your pups too. I understand the importance of giving your pup all the love and attention they need to have a happy life. I will do my very best to provide that for your animals too! I work full time at a car dealership up in the office. I am in the office by 7:00 am and I am typically off by 3:00 pm. I can do late in the evening walks or around when I get off. For drop ins\check ins I could come early in the morning for one and later in the evening for the other on a weekday. As long as it isn't end of month or mid month Fridays I can be off by 1pm. Weekend I am off so I'm more fixable with what I can fit in. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any routine care requested by the owner. During walks, I ensure pets get safe exercise and attention while following their normal routine. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with pet owners.

About: I’ve taken care of pets from craziness to laziness, big or small, I love em all! I’m excellent at rounding them up for baths, playing with them, going on walks or to dog parks to make friends, and most importantly, keeping them safe! If your pal needs a smile, I’m your gal! I’m currently working part time so I will be available 6am-3pm, Monday - Friday to welcome you and your pal into a fun, safe, and caring environment! If you need to leave me a list of do’s and dont’s pertaining to you and your pals needs, I am adamant on adapting to understand their boundaries, reading their emotions, and finding what they will/wont enjoy. Everything I can do, I will do to keep your pet safe, happy, and healthy so you never have to feel worried!
About: I’ve cared for my own two cats, Jolene and Soup for over five years and have been around friends’ and family’s cats for more than eight. Over the years, I’ve learned how to meet each cat’s unique personality and needs with patience and understanding. I have experience with nail trimming, brushing, enrichment and playtime, and administering medication when needed. I also take care of litter box maintenance and keeping cat areas clean and comfortable. One of my own cats is on the shy side, so I’m very comfortable working with skittish or nervous cats and giving them the gentle patience they need to feel safe. I’m confident in reading feline body language and building trust over time. I’m open to caring for cats of all ages and temperaments (though I have a bit less hands-on experience with very young kittens under 4 months). My goal is to make every cat feel secure, cared for, and loved!
“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!!”
“Chris is an amazing sitter! This was my first time using Rover and he put me right at ease. He took such good care of my kitty and sent me pictures all throughout the stay. He also left my place in great condition and was very flexible with timing. I highly recommend him!”
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. 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 provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)
“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”
“Sherry was kind enough to watch our pup on Thanksgiving day so we could spend the day with my husband’s grandma at her assisted living center, which meant so much… thank you! Both her and her husband were incredibly kind and took great care of Geno for us <3”

“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, especially dogs. I’ve had dogs growing up all of my life and thought they bring so much joy to the world. Though they can be a lot of work, the fulfillment they bring is priceless. I have taken care of my own dogs and family friends for about 5 years including taking them on walks, potty training, bathing, and sometimes grooming. I’ve worked with puppies and middle aged dogs from a wide variety of breeds. I will be unavailable for walks and drop ins on M, W, F from 9 am-2pm starting in September I am currently in my gap year between undergrad and law school. My schedule is flexible as I can build walls around my study routine. Pet care can also fit into my routine of daily walks. I currently intern in Davenport so starting August 24 I will be unavailable for drop ins on M, W, F from 9am-2pm. If you have any questions please let me know! When caring for my own or other pets, I like to give them as much attention and care as possible to avoid boredom and loneliness. I usually take my own dogs out to the bathroom or walks every 2 hours. I provide appropriate care depending on the need for the animal.

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.

About: Growing up, we had many dogs that had my heart. I've cared for, walked, and loved on many dogs of friends, family members, and neighbors throughout the years. We currently have a feline friend but once our youngest has grown, we plan to get one of our own. For now, I get my fix from other canine friends! I am home full time for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to walk your dog morning, noon, or night! While on our walks I am patient and vigilent of our surroundings at all times. Your dog will not only be cared for but walked safely and intentionally.
About: I'd like to start by saying I am located in Whiteside County for the time being. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!!! Take a look at my reviews also for extra confidence. If you choose me your fur babies will be in good hands! <3 I'm flexible as I work from home. Right now over the summer I'm only accepting smaller dogs, two a day -only- (I have a few dogs myself). As long as your dogs get along with others and like children we should be good 👌 I prefer to do drop ins and right now I'm not able to stay over night in anyone's home so I apologize in advance. I have a smaller fenced area and a huge yard. I also have dogs of my own so lots of friends to be made! My dogs are the friendliest dogs and have plenty of experience with other animals. :)

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they always feel secure in my care. Whether i’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and happy at all times. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, tidy, and just the way you left them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and cared for like family.
About: Neighborhood pet sitter in Bettendorf, IA. Experience with dogs and cats, young and old, and varying breeds. Able to give medication & other accommodations Also experienced cat owner / sitter. Have worked with some fish and other small animals. I work full time 8-4:30 with an hour lunch break. Happy to stop by during that time as well as before and after work. Weekend availability varies, but I’m relatively open. I usually stay in-home, but I have had dogs stay with me. I will let the owners tell me the dog’s routine, and I adjust accordingly. Dogs with higher energy have different needs than elderly dogs, so I try to be sensitive to that. Potty breaks and walks are usually slated into my plan of care, but always open to hear special requests.
About: Hello, my name is Lindsey! There is nothing else in this world that brings me more joy than spending time with animals. My German Shepherd, Athena, passed away from cancer earlier this year. She was my biggest supporter and purpose in life. I know how important pets can be in our lives, and I want to make sure that you can put your trust in me to prioritize them as well. I have so much love to give and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I used to own 3 cats growing up, but they have since passed due to old age. I have much experience with all sizes of dogs and cats! I am currently a mental health therapist who works in office and online. I am in charge of my schedule and I can be flexible! When I had my German Shepherd, she was fed once in the morning and once in the evening. I took her on daily walks and played with her often. I also had to train her since she is a working breed.
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. 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.

“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+ 🌟)”
“Darcie was fantastic! 100% would recommend. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior to the stay and I could tell it was going to be a great fit. She took excellent care of our pup. Darcie also communicated daily and can tell she has a love for dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better week. If you are thinking of booking with Darcie - don’t hesitate!”
“Audrey was a gracious host for my dog. She took excellent care of him and his needs while I was away. She even enlightened me that my dog was fond of cats 😳 I had no idea, but I think her care and introduction had something to do with it 😉 I’m not looking forward to leaving town again but when I do, I hope Audrey, and her family, are available to care for my fur kid..”
“Mark was awesome to work with. He was very accommodating, he sent us pictures during Marcy’s stay and she seemed to really enjoy being there. It was her first stay with someone other than family and it went great. We will definitely be calling Mark again the next time we need a pet sitter!! 🐕🦺🐾❤️”
“Heather was very attentive to our Jude. She sent many pictures of all the attention he was getting while staying with her. She is knowledgeable in how to deal with all situatiions, big or small when it comes to caring for your pet. She has a very friendly dog of her own, Zephyr, who share his home with Jude graciously. I would highly recommend Heather for the care of your dog.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second time she has watched my French Bulldog, and I couldn't be happier. This time she cared for him for almost 10 days, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated, made sure he was well cared for, and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“Our dog had a blast! got lots of photos. Sherry and Mike were very easy to work with and maintained communication/flexabilty. Would absolute send Finn here again!”
About: I am also a dog parent and have been for over 12 years. My fur babies consume most my days and why not spread the happiness! I have walked and cared for others here in town and have been given great compliments and encouragement to help others thru this app since it's convenient and trusted! My routine mostly revolves around my fur babies. Morning we spend 2.5 -3 hours exercising exploring and making friends. Afternoon and night time another 30-45 min each one for potty and walk. It'll be very easy to include your pups they'll love the activities and best of all find some of what they're looking for 💚 In home ... each have bed/ room/ crate to be in. In your home i will care for your pet as you requested. Feeding the amount as per pet parent, meds or crate as per owner request
“Katie and her family treated Heidi like she was part of theirs! She sent me photos and a video while I was at the game. This reassured me to know that Heidi was being treated like family while I was out of town. I'll definitely use Katie's services again.”

“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“Taylor was so great! She was super communicative and accommodating. My dog sometimes struggles with separation anxiety, but she was just living her best life in Taylor’s. I would book again, and I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends.”
