“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.”

“Jake is definitely the most responsible person I have ever met. He always answered my questions very quickly. My two cats are well looked after by him. He knows how to care for cats with different personalities. When we came to pick up the cat, Jake had already packed the cat's things in advance. My cats get along so well with him, they don't even want to go home! He is really nice. 100% recommend him.”

About: I have loved critters of all kinds since childhood. I attended obedience training for my family Rottweiler at age 6, and have cared for many big-breed dogs such as pitbulls, American bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes, labs, and more. I have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family starting as early as middle school, and am also very comfortable around small breeds and senior babies. I have experience with Boston terriers, yorkies, daschunds, beagles, and more. I have and am comfortable with administering necessary meds or topicals for pets with extra health needs. I have also cared for cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles. I am very passionate about rescuing, and happy to discuss any extra care your pet may need due to a life transition like fostering or rescuing. I watched a PETA ad when I was 9 years old and have been vegetarian ever since… I just really love animals! :) I am working part-time from home at the moment, so I am very flexible currently with my schedule. I am typically available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings! I have a fenced in backyard, and I do not have a dog of my own. I have a dining area with an extra couch that can be sectioned off if needed for a crate or food. I do have a senior cat who is indoor, who is very friendly with dogs. He grew up around my mom’s beagles, so he doesn’t mind company/energy! I can section off my basement stairs and kitchen for safety if needed. I cannot board any cat-aggressive dogs for my cat’s safety. I do not use any non pet-safe cleaners or pest control in my home.

“Meredith was an incredibly responsible and caring pet sitter. She took great care of our cats, making sure they were well-fed and comfortable. She even went the extra mile by cleaning their bowls and taking out the trash. Although we booked 30-minute visits, she often stayed longer to spend extra time with our cats. Her communication was excellent—she responded quickly to messages and sent daily photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

About: I love meeting new and different kinds of dogs and cats. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to watch their pets and found me as a reliable pet sitter. I will follow instructions as best I can. I’m currently trying to find a part time job, so for the time being I can do anytime, and I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have an invisible fence for my dog so she can roam free, I also use a leash when I take her for walks outside of my yard. But I can do whatever your pet needs.

About: I’ve been mama to my weird orange boy cat since I was 13, he is my pride and joy. His name is monkey, aka chicken nugget. I have cared for the feistiest of kittens, the most docile senior babies, and plenty of other kitties along the way. I was the trusted cat sitter both in high school, through college, and still with family and friends. I understand cats and their particularities, boundaries, and quirks. I am gentle with all animals always, and not easily spooked. I enjoy the feeling of winning over shy kitties, and will not judge the amount of toys you have for your non-shy babies.

About: I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, including shy, energetic, and more aggressive cats. Having an aggressive cat of my own has taught me how to be patient, read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm environment where cats feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience watching other people’s cats and understand the importance of keeping routines consistent, maintaining clean litter boxes, and giving each cat the individual attention they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel cared for while their owners are away.

About: As both an animal lover and a responsible, dependable person, I take pride in providing exceptional care for every pet I meet. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to family members, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. I have a 7-year-old and a 12-week-old golden retriever. They mean the world to me, so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Spending time with animals genuinely brightens my day, and I believe in the physical and emotional benefits of walks, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t see dog sitting as just feeding pets and letting them outside. I love giving dogs enrichment through walks, play, attention, and companionship. I enjoy being active and outside, so your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be cared for, exercised, and genuinely enjoyed. I am currently a student at the University of Iowa with no job, so I have a very flexible schedule aside from my coursework. I have obligations from 3:30–4:45 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, but outside of that my focus will be on caring for your pets. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of time at home, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and make sure they receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I will follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I will keep your home clean, provide regular updates and photos, and treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect that I would my own.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have had many neighbors back home request my dog sitting services. I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.

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: I’ve have taken care of all different kinds of pets since I was a kid. Whether it’s taking them for a walk, feeding them, letting them outside to go potty or just giving them a bunch of extra lovings and scratches. I currently only do schooling online so I have plenty of time and open availability. Whether it’s letting your dogs outside more frequently or going on longer walks I have the time for it all! I have full availability for overnight boarding too! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with no other animals so there is plenty of space for your furry babies to roam around and I have an outside fenced in area to let them go potty outside and a beautiful path around a pond to take them on walks!

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've always been surrounded by animals and have developed a natural ability to care for them. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m not only comfortable with dogs of all ages but also have experience handling puppies and providing senior dog care. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I'll be the one taking care of your pet personally, ensuring they get plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. We have a dog at home and an unfenced yard, but we're just one block away from a dog park, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. If needed, we can crate our dog to ensure safety and comfort during your pet's visit. We always prioritize the well-being of all pets in our care and will adjust our home environment as needed to meet your pet's needs.

About: I have loved critters of all kinds since childhood. I attended obedience training for my family Rottweiler at age 6, and have cared for many big-breed dogs such as pitbulls, American bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes, labs, and more. I have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family starting as early as middle school, and am also very comfortable around small breeds and senior babies. I have experience with Boston terriers, yorkies, daschunds, beagles, and more. I have and am comfortable with administering necessary meds or topicals for pets with extra health needs. I have also cared for cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles. I am very passionate about rescuing, and happy to discuss any extra care your pet may need due to a life transition like fostering or rescuing. I watched a PETA ad when I was 9 years old and have been vegetarian ever since… I just really love animals! :) I am working part-time from home at the moment, so I am very flexible currently with my schedule. I am typically available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings! I have a fenced in backyard, and I do not have a dog of my own. I have a dining area with an extra couch that can be sectioned off if needed for a crate or food. I do have a senior cat who is indoor, who is very friendly with dogs. He grew up around my mom’s beagles, so he doesn’t mind company/energy! I can section off my basement stairs and kitchen for safety if needed. I cannot board any cat-aggressive dogs for my cat’s safety. I do not use any non pet-safe cleaners or pest control in my home.

I always make sure to ask questions about your pets schedule and care routine. I also make sure the pet is comfortable around me before we work together.

About: I am a medical student. I have put all of my efforts towards caring for others and their loved ones. My pet care experience first started when my family got a red-fox laboratory puppy seven years ago. It was a dream come true, something my sister and I had waited for many years. While Bhima, our puppy, was just a bundle of fun, he came with a load of responsibilities. From grooming to bathing to brushing to walking, a lot of the responsibility relied heavily on my sister and I. I hope to care for my rover pets with the same attention to detail, love, and affection, as I have been caring for Bhima over the last four years. I am very active, flexible, and outgoing. I’d love to hear from you and get to know you and your pet! I am available for dog walks during the evenings and weekends! I am flexible based on the needs of the pet, but will need to work around my class schedule! Your pet would be accompanied by my own in my home. I make sure that the environment the pet stays in is safe and comfortable for the pet, and am willing to accommodate any changes that will make the pet more comfortable. I also have a yard that the pet can play in in addition to any walks that I will take the pet on.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly love caring for them. Growing up, even before my family adopted our dog Rylee, I would often visit neighbors just to spend time playing with their dogs, and it’s something I’ve always enjoyed and felt drawn to. Once we brought Rylee home, I learned firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement when caring for a dog. I also believe verbal communication plays a big role in helping dogs feel comfortable, understood, and loved. Over time, I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors in my community. I’ve provided midday walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always making sure each dog feels safe and happy in their routine. As your dog sitter, my goal is to bring that same care, attention, and positivity into your home, so both you and your pet can feel relaxed and confident while you’re away. I’m currently preparing for the DAT this summer before I go back to school at the University of Iowa in the Fall. I plan to dedicate prep time for my early mornings. Therefore, I would be available to drop in for walking or anything else in mid day and evenings I would prefer to be a drop in sitter. I can ensure that I am very comfortable with walking dogs. I have provided care to private residents for dog care and babysitting, and therefore I have a great understanding every family has different needs and I’m more than willing to accommodate with any needs you have:)

I’ve loved any and animals my whole life, and grew up with cats of all temperaments as well as both large and small dogs.

I’m also experienced with administering medications to both cats and dogs, including shots, and am comfortable with complex routines. I know that being away from their best friends can be stressful for pets, and I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medication, or giving them space when they need it, you can trust that I will take care of your pet as if they were my own!

I currently work part time in the mornings and can stop in before my shift to do a check in, potty breaks, and feeding. Once I'm off in the afternoon, I can do more check-ins and walks. In the afternoons, I can stick around longer to spend more time with them. I have experience with positive reinforcement and am also okay with using dog crates if the need is there.

About: Hi! I'm Jamie! I work full-time as a hairstylist, but I've always loved animals and wanted a fun way to spend more time outside while helping busy pet parents. I have experience caring for my family's dogs and have loved getting to know each of their different personalities. My parents have a small/medium-sized dog who I've watched while they've been out of town, including caring for him for a full week on my own. I also regularly spend time with my sister's two larger dogs on weekends, letting them out, playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and of course getting in plenty of cuddles! I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I'll always send photo updates and let you know how your pup did after every visit! I'd love the chance to meet you and your furry best friend! I work fulltime as a hairstylist, so I plan my pet care around my work schedule and only accept bookings that I can give my full attention to. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits during my available days and times, including evenings and weekends. I'm dependable and will always make sure I have enough time in my schedule to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and individual needs are always my top priority. Before each booking, I'll ask questions about your pet's personality, routine, training, leash behavior, reactivity, triggers, and how they interact with other dogs, cats, and people. I want to understand what makes your pet comfortable and what situations I should be aware of before we head out. For walks, I'll follow your instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, and walking routines and will keep your pet supervised and secure at all times. I'll never let a dog off leash unless you've specifically asked me to and we're in an appropriate, safe area. For drop in visits, I'll follow your instructions for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm also comfortable giving oral medications such as pills when clear instructions are provided. I'll make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are securely closed before leaving. I know every pet is different, so I don't assume that one approach works for every dog. I'll take the time to learn your pet's needs and follow the routines and boundaries you've established for them. I'll also send photos and an update after each visit so you know how your pup is doing!

About: I have been working with dogs since 2016. I consistently bring fosters into my home, watch friends dogs, and am always looking for the next dog to help. I have experience with dogs ranging from Great Danes to Pugs! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile!

I am currently working a flexible part time job and have plenty of time to help with your furbabies! Afternoon and evenings work well for me and my household but I am available as needed. I have a fenced in back yard. We have 4 dogs and a cat. I do not bring other male dogs into my home since our oldest male is a jealous guy.

“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.”

“Jake is definitely the most responsible person I have ever met. He always answered my questions very quickly. My two cats are well looked after by him. He knows how to care for cats with different personalities. When we came to pick up the cat, Jake had already packed the cat's things in advance. My cats get along so well with him, they don't even want to go home! He is really nice. 100% recommend him.”

“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!!!!”

About: I have loved critters of all kinds since childhood. I attended obedience training for my family Rottweiler at age 6, and have cared for many big-breed dogs such as pitbulls, American bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes, labs, and more. I have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family starting as early as middle school, and am also very comfortable around small breeds and senior babies. I have experience with Boston terriers, yorkies, daschunds, beagles, and more. I have and am comfortable with administering necessary meds or topicals for pets with extra health needs. I have also cared for cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles. I am very passionate about rescuing, and happy to discuss any extra care your pet may need due to a life transition like fostering or rescuing. I watched a PETA ad when I was 9 years old and have been vegetarian ever since… I just really love animals! :) I am working part-time from home at the moment, so I am very flexible currently with my schedule. I am typically available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings! I have a fenced in backyard, and I do not have a dog of my own. I have a dining area with an extra couch that can be sectioned off if needed for a crate or food. I do have a senior cat who is indoor, who is very friendly with dogs. He grew up around my mom’s beagles, so he doesn’t mind company/energy! I can section off my basement stairs and kitchen for safety if needed. I cannot board any cat-aggressive dogs for my cat’s safety. I do not use any non pet-safe cleaners or pest control in my home.

“This was our first time using Rovr and Ali couldn’t have been better to work with. She was very flexible and took great care of our dog. She sent plenty of photos so we knew he was doing okay. I would highly recommend her and know that if we use Rovr again, we will gladly use Ali’s service again.”

About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! For the past 4 years, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of animals at an animal sanctuary, giving me experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience raising and training puppies, as well as dog sitting for family, friends, and others. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I also have experience giving medications and making sure pets receive the extra care and attention they need. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for a baby goat in my home for 6 weeks! I bottle-fed her, cared for her around the clock, and made sure she was happy, healthy, and comfortable. Experiences like this have taught me how much patience, responsibility, and attention to detail goes into caring for animals. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, training, medication, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I work part-time, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility in my schedule for pet care! I’m available after 3 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care while you’re away! For boarding in my home, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in backyard and a safe, comfortable environment. I also live in a walkable area, so I can provide nice, long walks when the weather permits. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routines, including crate use, feeding schedules, medications, or other care instructions. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m respectful of your belongings and your space during drop-in visits.
