Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!”

“Ashley did a great job taking care of my pet cat. She cleaned the litter box regularly and even cleaned up and got my mail without asking. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you for watching my princess while I was on my vacation. Because she is shy around strangers, it was such a relief to see her trust you and become more comfortable with you each day”
“Jessica was an excellent choice to catsit while we were away for Christmas. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures each visit. She was also kind enough to take out our trash, bring in the mail, and she kept the litterbox spotless. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Nejra is a wonderful cat sitter. She went an extra mile and checked on my cats after a bad storm, on her own time. They were very well taken care of and would recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are so happy we did. Jaron did a great job- was reliable, and gave our older cat a lot of attention. We will not hesitate to use him again!”
“Jen took very good care of our 2 cats with her drop in visits twice a day. One of our cats is diabetic so she has to be fed 12 hours a part and given an injection after the feedings each time. We asked her with very short lead time and she took the time to come to our house so we could meet her and she could meet our cats before the booking. We appreciated this very much.”
“Troy helped us out in a pinch today and was able to add an additional drop-in at the last minute. Our golden retriever has a mind of her own and he successfully navigated her routine. I will definitely contact Troy again.”
“Noel provided exemplary care for my cats while I was away, demonstrating professionalism and compassion. Noel’s excellent communication skills, including regular updates and adorable pictures, reassured me of my cats' well-being. Not only did Noel understand my cats' individual quirks and preferences, but it was clear that my grumpy old man, Zorro built an immediate and genuine rapport with Noel, meaning Noel’s got that whole cat aura thing where they immediately know they’re safe. Noel’s personable nature, responsiveness, and reliability made the whole trip away easy for me to relax and know the boys were in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Noel to anyone in need of top-notch pet sitting services and will undoubtedly seek Noel out for assistance again in the future.”
“Geni did a fantastic job watching our cats! She was dependable, took great care of them, and kept us updated with pictures while we were away. One of my biggest concerns was that our cats would be stressed, but it was so obvious from the pictures that they were comfortable, happy, and really liked Geni. That gave us such peace of mind! We couldn’t have asked for someone better and would 100% recommend Geni. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our cats again! 🐾❤️”
“She has a special touch for sure. Our cat has a fear of strangers however, I received photos of Morgan brushing our shy kitty. Morgan was the perfect person to care for our pets.”
About: Reliable, Loving Pet Care You Can Count On 🐾 Hi! I provide dependable, stress-free pet sitting and dog walking for busy professionals who want peace of mind while they’re away. I’m a dog lover through and through and have two of my own—a 5-year-old Cockapoo and a 12-year-old Shih Tzu Bichon—so I understand firsthand the different needs, personalities, and energy levels pets can have at every stage of life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I follow your routines closely and make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and affection—whether that’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended care. What sets me apart is clear communication and reliability. You’ll always receive timely updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands without having to check in or worry. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. My goal is simple: make your life easier and your pet’s day better. If you’re looking for trustworthy, attentive care with a personal touch, I’d love to connect! Because I work from home and am my own boss, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable pet care throughout the day. This flexibility makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and companionship breaks without rushing or cutting corners. Being home most of the day also means your pet isn’t left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give consistent attention, monitor their comfort, and adjust care as needed based on their routine and personality. My schedule allows me to be responsive, dependable, and present—so your pet gets quality care and you get peace of mind knowing someone is truly available and engaged. I’m happy to care for your fur baby as long as they are comfortable around other dogs. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I enjoy taking regular walks with the dogs around the neighborhood paths to keep them active and happy. I’m also available for in-home stays, which can be a great option if your pet feels more comfortable in their own familiar surroundings.
“Emily was excellent with my cat! She kept her very happy, checked in regularly, and sent wonderful pictures. Great attention to detail on all of my cat's needs too!”
“Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!”
“Angie was very responsive and easy to work with! I would absolutely use again. I was unfortunately in a poor service area, creating some communication issues and Angie was very patient and helpful through the process!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“While we debated having someone come check in on the cats while we were going for two nights, we are glad we had Sara come. We ended up having a water leak with water dripping through the ceiling. Sara let us know about this and put towels and bowls under the drips to lessen the damage from the water. Thank you, Sara! :)”

“Kimberley was a PERFECT choice for us! Such a sweet person and she kept him 8.5 hours for his first visit which is a long time to have a 4 month old puppy! She sent several photos and videos which was so reassuring.”
“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”
About: I've personally had many dogs of different sizes and energies, including a Border Collie, Boxer, American Bulldog. I have experience in training (reward training). I am capable of basic grooming, including nails. The Tibetan Spaniel listed on my profile is actually my daughter's dog and he is only at my home during college breaks, otherwise, they are in Ohio the rest of the year Think of your dog's stay at my house as a vacation at Grandma's. Your dog will be spoiled to the extent that YOU allow (and maybe a tennsy bit more). 😉 I mostly work from home with occasional short stints in a workplace and a very flexible schedule. I can be home at any time to ensure that dogs can potty, get playtime, etc. I never work on the weekends. I have a half acre of flat, safe, fenced in yard with grass and gardens. My schedule is very flexible and can adapt to your dog's feeding, sleeping and play schedule. I have no issues waking early, etc.

Might as well get paid to do something i love! I am a disabled US Navy Veteran in my late 30s. I work out of my garage and am home based and will have lots of time for your animals in my house and fenced in yard Large fenced in yard, I have cats but they have rooms to hide if your dog doesn't like cats, I have a bloodhound that loves to play with others and is a sweet boy and sleeps about 22 hours a day 🤣

“Jill & her family are awesome!! They treated Benji as if he was their own! We are nervous dog parents sending our pooch to just anyone, Jill eased our minds with a lovely meet & greet, updates throughout the day and filled us in on how Benji was at pick up time :) Would definitely recommend Jill!”

“Melanie and family were so friendly that my dogs—a 4- and a 12- year-old Havanese—relaxed immediately. Melanie met us in the yard and the dogs trotted away with her without looking back. The dogs were with her for 6 hours and she sent multiple photos and status updates. We would definitely ask Melanie to watch our dogs again!”
“Tamara is just fantastic. She was great and attentive to my dog and her dogs are so sweet and got along perfectly with him! She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs!
