“Amazing as always! Jason is the absolute BEST dog sitter we have ever experienced!!! Our dogs came home happy, healthy and well cared for. Jason provided daily updates and pictures making us feel very confident that our dogs always have a great time while staying with him. We will definitely go back again and again. We highly recommend Jason for your fur babies!!!!! A+++++++”
“Ali did a wonderful job of watching my 92 y/os Mom little white velcro dog. We felt like she listened to us and took loving care of him. Thanks for the great experience. We Highly recommend this sitter.”
“Windsor just came back from a week stay with Tiffany and Soriya and must have had the best time, He’s done nothing but sleep all day! He always comes home tired so that tells me he enjoys his stay with them!”
“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!!!!”
“We had the best experience with Trish! She watched our two goldendoodles for two weeks while we were away. She sent several photo updates everyday - of them getting snuggles, playing fetch in their backyard, getting yummy homemade treats - which showed that she was taking such great care of our pups. Trish even brushed our dogs routinely which we didn’t ask her to do! She was so warm, welcoming, responsive, and trustworthy from the first message to the final pickup. She clearly adores dogs, well definitely book her again and we would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
“It’s difficult to find a place that will love on your pup and spoil her like you do at home — DL & Libby R gave our pup all the attention and love she needed and more. She was well taken care of and felt safe in their home. The pictures and updates made us feel at ease and will be treasured additions to our own photos. Thank you DL & Libby R!!! ?❤️?”
“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!”
“Sky loved having a backyard for the weekend with Emily! I loved being able to see her have fun for the weekend with videos and pictures. Super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times which was much appreciated!!”
“Anastasiia was EXCELLENT!! Communication was great and she included daily pictures and videos. My dog has anxiety during storms and she was very compassionate with him. I couldn’t be happier with the way she treated Chipper!!”
“Abbey did a wonderful job watching our dogs while we were away. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent us pictures of the boys. We really appreciated the yard space she had for them to run around which was very well kept. We will most definitely be using her service again when we leave town. Highly recommend her.”
“Adela was amazing! She watched Honey for us for 2 nights and she was very responsive and sent a ton of pictures :) Honey loved the yard and playing with Adela’s dogs. Would definitely book again!”
“SOOO appreciate for Madison! This was a last minute resv while I was moving and she was more than accommodating! Thankful for her and will be using her again when I’m Iowa City!”
“Avery was great! I was in town for a wedding and Avery was extremely flexible with me as I needed to make last minute changes for my pick up and drop off time! She communicated quickly and sent us picture updates of my dog Rambo! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!”
“Laylah was incredibly flexible and responsive to our changing needs. I appreciated how she communicated with me in a timely manner via text and phone. It is obvious she takes her job of keeping pets safe and happy very seriously.”
“Nathan watched our Basenji for the first time for 3 nights while we were on vacation. She got along with his two dogs as they roamed about his fenced in backyard and cuddled inside. He sent pictures and was flexible when our flight home was delayed. Bonus was that he lives less than 10 min from our house.”
“Ashley was great. Good communication, and she sent us some videos of our dog enjoying her backyard and the other dogs there during the stay. We've used her twice now and will do so again in the future!”

I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend!

I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet.

About: I’ve loved cats since I was 8 and have always appreciated their unique personalities and gentle nature. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, and I take a calm, patient approach to every visit. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, litter care, or simply quiet companionship, I give each cat attentive, thoughtful care. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and attentive to details and routines. I also provide updates so you can feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have been a cat lover since I was little and have taken care of cats since I was 10. I love them and understand that they need love just like any other animal. I am your person to contact for pet sitting. I will ensure that your cat gets the love and care it needs.
About: I've taken care of multiple cats over the last 5 years, including my own. I have experience giving topical and oral medications, following time sensitive feeding routines and cleaning litter boxes (and the occasional accident). I have the most experience with younger cats (kittens up to 5 years old) but have the patience and love for older felines as well.
“Brooke took wonderful care of my cats, Mochi and Casa, during five drop-in visits. She was reliable, punctual, and gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent after each visit. I would definitely book Brooke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with cats and have experience caring for cats of all ages. My parents currently have five cats that I’ve helped care for, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playtime, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I’ve also been trusted by friends to care for their cats while they’re on vacation.
About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.

“Trish was amazing with my 12 week old puppy. I received lots of pictures and videos of her playing with the puppy and cuddling with her. Trish seems very passionate about what she does. Will definitely bring my puppy back to her.”
“The service Ali provided is exceptional. Banksy gets exposure to other dogs, exercise, and training while staying with Ali. Working in the medical field is not always conducive to getting Banksy the mental and physical exercise he needs- Ali provides these and has always been able to work around my unpredictable schedule. I consider myself a routine customer ?”
About: I've been taking care of my mom's dog when she is out of town for over 10 years. My brother recently got a puppy and I have added her to my list! Dogs are near and dear to my heart and are treated just like a child on our home! I am a stay at home mom to our 2 year old. We are generally not gone for more than a couple of hours, if at all. We live in a nice quiet town and go for walks often. We have a very shaded front yard that we are in a lot. We take walks often and live in a nice town. Our yard is not fenced in.
“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”
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.
“Abbey is an absolute dynamite find for dog care! We were looking for some regular doggie daycare for our dog after our other dog passed away. He was upset and nervous when left alone. We found Abbey and she had been so sweet and kind…wow! Her yard and house are amazing. I wanted to stay and play in the yard myself! All the other dogs in her care were well mannered and immediately welcomed our dog. Now when we go to her house he bounds up her steps wiggling and beyond excited. You can tell he loves her and going there”
“I felt super comfortable leaving Penny with Emily and her family. They loved on Penny while I worked all day. 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.”
“He sends updates and love the Rover card at the end. Theodore is always a little shy coming in but warms up and loves his buddy Timber. It takes a while for Theodore to warm up to others since he is a mama boy but Jason has the patience to win him over.”

“Auden was fantastic! Communication was great throughout the day along with photos of our pup playing and on walks! We definitely would love Auden to watch our dog again!”
About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable. We love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends! Faye is a full-time stay at home dog mom and my husband Rob helps take over dog care responsibilities after and before he goes to work. We make it a team effort so your dog will always have his or her needs met and get maximum love and attention. Safety comes first with your pet. We have a home that is safe and perfect for your little dog. We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!
About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughters age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience I work at home everyday but Thursday. We are available for dog walking and live close to a park trail and we are looking for a family interaction. Crate services, roaming and family integrated home. We are able to walk your animals and provide check ins. I know how animals are part of the family.
“Our goldendoodle Gus had a wonderful day with Shannon and her husband! Thank you for making Gus feel welcome in your beautiful home. He was one tired pup when he got home from all the walks and playtime with the stuffed toys!”
“First time with Ashleigh. Wilson seemed to have a great time. Got lots of pics. Ashleigh is an excellent communicator and a sweet person. I wish she was closer to me. I would have her sit very often.”
About: I’m a certified animal lover with a fur baby of my own (Henry, 9lb of quiet sweetness) that I’ve been caring for over 10 years. I own a wedding photography business that allows me to work from home 90% of my year. If I am booked on a specific day during your booking, I will let you know ahead of time so you can approve or deny the amount of hours I will be gone for that day (which can be anywhere from a 1-hour session to a full 10-hour wedding). I have experience as a dog owner, but have also spent many of my years dog and cat sitting for my friends and family. I raised and trained my parents puppy, a Bichon Frise Shih Tzu mix who needed lots of care to control his barking and playful nature, now 6 years old and so loving. I’m experience with a range of ages and needs, including puppies and elder animals with special care needs. I love dogs, as you can tell, and have all the time in the world to watch and play with them! I prefer dogs and cats have been handled and are used to being cared for, with no history of lashing out or biting. Whether you need me to cuddle, feed, brush, walk, or play with your pup, I'm your gal. Note: while I take a combo of meds for my dander allergy and have a high tolerance, I ask that any animals/homes with animals with high shedding be appropriately groomed and cleaned before sitting. If I stay in your home, a vacuuming or light cleaning does wonders. If your fur baby is boarded in my home, a bath or deshedding session beforehand is much appreciated. I work from home, so pet care can be a day round activity for me. If I am sitting in your home or doing check ins, I can stay or come by as frequently as needed, given availability based on any events or sessions I have previously booked. I will always communicate with pet parents about the needs for their specific fur baby. I understand all needs are unique, so aside from common sense (walks, feedings, playing), I’ll make sure to tailor their care as needed.
“Myle was great at taking care of my dog! She made sure he was comfortable around her other dogs. Myla also kept me updated on how he was doing and sent lots of pics and videos of him throughout the day. Will definitely book with her again! Thank you again Myle!!”

“Ashley was a rock star w/ our 103 lb. Ozzy. Despite multiple obedience classes, something in his past life made him leash reactive. Ashley worked w/ him and mostly got him to sit and respond when she said "Quiet" in a calming voice. She kept us updated while on our monthlong trip to Africa. It was clear when we returned to U.S. they had made a real connection. We are grateful for all her efforts and would definitely use her Rover services in the future.”

About: I have had and cared for pets most my life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other rodents. I currently simultaneously take care of a black lab and border collie frequently. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I care for a black lab and a border collie on a regular basis, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs that need both physical activity and attention. Walks, playtime, and keeping them on their routine are a natural part of their care. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, and other small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs—whether that’s active play, quiet companionship, or simply a calm, consistent presence. Making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy fits seamlessly into my everyday life. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment, whether in my home or a client’s home, and I follow routines and instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, exercise, and any special care. In my home, pets receive close supervision, structure, and plenty of attention. I stay alert to behavior and surroundings to ensure pets are safe at all times. My goal is dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

About: I have experience pet sitting as well as currently working at a Doggy Daycare/Boardinh facility! I grew up on a farm, so I am used to working with animals, and I also have pets of my own! I have taken care of a large variety of pets, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am also used to giving medication to pets that require it! I currently am working part time at a pet care facility, so I would love to incorporate more pet care into my life! I am happy to help wherever I can, however early or late needed! I have a great ability to read a pets body language and help them get used to me when visiting them in home. I also understand boundaries and love walking pets, while also keeping them under control and safe!
About: I've personally owned animals my entire life. I've raised 3 dogs in the past and currently own qthat absolutely love other animals and people! I also have 3 cats that are all extremely friendly and love new things. I currently work at an animal shelter working with dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have experience with friendly animals, reactive animals, and shy animals. I'm very skilled at giving medications as I have to do it daily for my job. My schedule is very flexible and I'm also good in medical cases with animals. I don't have a degree in veterinary sciences, but work with strange cases daily and have a close connection with vet techs. I'm excited to open my heart to new animals! 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. I'm experienced with different types of harnesses and collars as well and have worked with dogs with many different allergies.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I am in school full time during the weekdays, but Fridays when I’m off of clinicals, I am more than happy to start a house sit or drop in!! On the weekends all of my services are available! I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!
“Auden has been fantastic. We have an older dog who needs extra care and she is wonderful with him. Her communication and timeliness are outstanding. We know our little guy is in great hands.”
About: I have two mini goldendoodles who are my life. I've had them for over 6 years and they bring so much joy to my life! They love to play with other dogs and I'm always spoiling them. I've watched other pups before, giving them walks, spoiling them rotten. I'm very punctual and care for every dog like they're my own! Currently don’t have a full time job so I have availability all day! If you need a full sitter, they are more than happy to come to my house and spend time with my pups. I'm free after 5PM and on the weekends! I don't have a fenced in backyard but I do have two pups who can keep your baby entertained and wear them out! I give the best cuddles and love as it kills me to leave my pups with someone else so I get it! I can facetime whenever you'd like if it's an overnight stay, whatever makes you feel comfortable! :)
“Alexis has been quick to respond, very friendly and wants the best for your pet. We’ve had a good experience with her and know that we can trust her with our puppy! She does great at communicating when we ask about the day or need to tell her something that wasn’t previously discussed.”

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've also been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and quirks! 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! Not only is it my goal to make sure your pets feel cared for and loved while you're away, I also want you to have peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe and cared for!

I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends for visits. I’m also available for house sitting any day of the week, including weekends. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand that trust is a big part of inviting someone into your home, so I'll keep your space clean and tidy, lock doors and windows, and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was five. I grew up on a farm and understand the anxiety that a pet owner has when going on vacation and finding someone to love their pet as they love them. Well, have no fear! I am here to save the day! It is currently Summer time and so I have a lot of availability to be with your pet. I can stay the night at your home if necessary and can guarantee that your animal will not be a line. They will be lover, fed and cared for! I will travel to your home to ensure that your pet is in a familiar space. I will give them daily snuggles, walks and attention. I will treat your pet as if they were my own loving on them and treating them. I am happy to take them on daily walks, to the park and to stay the night at your place.
About: I've taken care of animals, both my own and others, for my entire life. Most recently, I've cared for dogs and cats while nannying and babysitting. I'm able to multitask, follow feeding and medication schedules and am more than willing to get outside in the Iowa heat for walks and bathroom breaks. I currently work in the evenings so I'm able to drop in during the mornings and regular work hours if needed. I'm also available for the occasional overnight care, if needed for your pet. Keeping your pet calm, safe and happy is my top priority. As I'm coming into you and your pets space, I understand that there may be so nervous/stressed behaviors. I do my best to mitigate and manage these behaivors by comunicating with the owners about your pets needs, boundaries and any tendencies they may have when meeting new people.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up surrounded by cats and dogs. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and simply spending time with your sweet friend. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ll do my best to create a calm and comforting environment. I’m happy to stick to their routine, give extra snuggles, or just sit with them quietly if that’s what helps them feel safe. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured while you’re away. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule will depend on my classes and clinicals, but I won’t be working another job so it gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’ll keep my availability up to date and always make sure your pets get the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether you need help with daily care or overnight stays, I’m happy to come to your home to feed, walk, play with, or simply keep your pet company. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own.

“SOOO appreciate for Madison! This was a last minute resv while I was moving and she was more than accommodating! Thankful for her and will be using her again when I’m Iowa City!”
“Avery was great! I was in town for a wedding and Avery was extremely flexible with me as I needed to make last minute changes for my pick up and drop off time! She communicated quickly and sent us picture updates of my dog Rambo! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!”
“Laylah was incredibly flexible and responsive to our changing needs. I appreciated how she communicated with me in a timely manner via text and phone. It is obvious she takes her job of keeping pets safe and happy very seriously.”
“Nathan watched our Basenji for the first time for 3 nights while we were on vacation. She got along with his two dogs as they roamed about his fenced in backyard and cuddled inside. He sent pictures and was flexible when our flight home was delayed. Bonus was that he lives less than 10 min from our house.”
“Ashley was great. Good communication, and she sent us some videos of our dog enjoying her backyard and the other dogs there during the stay. We've used her twice now and will do so again in the future!”
“Jakes was so great with Cookie considering we only chatted a few times but having a meet up was great! Cookie came home happy and looked like she really enjoyed time with Jakes, especially playing fetch. Definitely will rebook again!”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
About: I've been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 12 years old, and for the past two years I've provided professional pet sitting for cats, dogs, and small animals. My experience includes overnight care, drop-in visits, feeding, exercise, habitat and litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of companionship tailored to each pet's individual needs. I'm experienced caring for both playful kittens and puppies as well as adult pets, and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine. For active dogs, I'm happy to include them on walks or runs (with owner approval), while cats enjoy interactive play, enrichment, or even supervised outdoor time using harnesses or pet strollers when appropriate. I also have three guinea pigs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with the daily care and habitat maintenance required for small animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra attention, I'll provide patient, reliable care and treat them with the same love and respect that I give my own pets. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate midday drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small animals for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or habitat cleaning, and companionship. I'm available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 3:00 PM. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions you provide. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. For energetic dogs, I enjoy staying active and regularly go on morning runs and afternoon walks. If your dog enjoys exercise and you're comfortable with it, I'd be happy to include them in these outings to help keep them happy and mentally stimulated. For pets that prefer a slower pace, I'm just as happy to provide leisurely walks, playtime, or plenty of companionship. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have three guinea pigs of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily care and habitat maintenance that small animals require, including feeding, spot cleaning, and enclosure upkeep. My experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets has taught me that every animal has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing patient, attentive care tailored to each pet's personality and routine.
