“I seriously cannot recommend her enough! I was absolutely amazed by how well my dog adapted to her and loved her!! She is so sweet and an amazing person all around! Book her now!”

“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”

“Our Corgi had the best stay. Believe the other reviews, we made it halfway home and our puppy was out cold from playing with her dogs the whole time. She sent pictures while we were gone which was so nice to get during our time away. Would definitely recommend and will be back!”

“Highly recommend Nancy!! She ensured both pups had so much fun and did the things they enjoyed the most. Jack and Finn made 2 new friends that were so welcoming as well. Nancy was the perfect match for our pups and she will be for yours too!!”

“My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.”

About: I have been a pet lover for many years! I enjoy helping out, taking them for walks benefits both of us! Emotional care and play are just as important. I currently work full time from home. I enjoy sitting outside and working in the garden, incorporating play time into our outdoor time is always a must. I have a large unfenced yard, with 3 fur friends of my own to play and show boundaries! I am good at implementing rules or training goals you have for your pet!
About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
“Ali was so great with our dog! She was flexible and easy to work with and made sure she knew a lot about our dog’s routines before our trip. We loved knowing he was being well taken care of while we were gone! We would highly recommend her and plan to check with her again the next time we’re gone! You and your pets will love her too!”

“The whole process from the meet and greet to pickup time was great. Aly is friendly and very dog knowledgeable. She has a wonderful secure and fenced in yard for dogs to play in. We got a daily update at the end of the day along with a picture. Shadow was a very happy dog when we picked him up.”

“Alicia was responsive and took great care of Harry while we were away. He came home happy and tired, which is a nice combo. :) It was nice to know he was in a house with other pets and kiddos to play with.”

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.
About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!
“Kelsey was amazing watching our two dogs! Very accommodating on pickup and drop off times and gave us updates throughout their entire stay. Will definitely consider her again the next time we need a sitter!”

About: I have loved dogs all my life! I grew up with my Golden Retriever and a cat. I love big dogs and going on walks. I am going to class part time and work about 10 hours a week. My schedule is pretty open. I am also open most weekends. I live in a nice apartment with plenty of space and grass for dogs to run. Clean, friendly environment with no other pets and has a lot of open space.
About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.

“Fantastic work. Anna took care of our two cats for a week while we were gone on vacation. She stayed in communication, took good pictures and handled all the random cat chaos without any problems. I could not be happier with her work. Highly recommend.”

“Angela was very flexible with us and was able to visit with Misty twice a day while we visited family out of state for a weekend. She made sure to get Misty her medicine, checked her water and litter, and gave her lots of love. She always gave updates and cute pictures. We appreciated working with her!”

“Amazing! So kind and caring, and took marvelous care of my precious cats. Great daily reports and photos. I was able to relax, knowing my girls were in capable, reliable hands. I will 100% work with her again!”

“Our cat Misty had an unexpected medical condition come up shortly before we were due to be away in MN for our wedding and she required a pill twice a day. Ali was able to drop in to give Misty her medicine, some love, and us a piece of mind so we could enjoy our special weekend. We appreciated how easy she was to work with, her knowledge of animals, her communication with us when we checked in, and of course the pictures she sent of our baby.”

About: I have a life of experience caring for my own animals including dogs, cats, newborn pups and kittens, a chinchilla, chickens, and geese! I regularly pet sit for my neighbor and have been asked to do the same by many friends. I have the summer off from teaching, so I am pretty flexible until late August! Then my schedule is limited to afternoons and evenings and may depend on location. I'm available to feed and play with your furry loved ones! I'm comfortable administering any medicine they may need as well. I've got it, no sweat!

“Allison was excellent—great communication, reliable, and clearly very responsible. She took great care of our cat and kept us updated throughout. We’d absolutely book with her again.”

About: I grew up with animals and as an adult i have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have also enjoyed caring for friends and family pets when needed. I have volunteered at the ARL and received some training. I have an open schedule with lots of flexibility that allows for plenty of time to take care of or hang out with my furrbabies. I prefer to keep dogs leashed when a fence is not available. My cat stays indoors. I treat my pets as my children. For outdoor cats, it depends on the owner. I have seen GPS used to keep track of their location outside.

About: I had dog when I was only 5 years old and always been taking care of dogs since I was growing up and now have my own baby, Porky and everyone always relies on me to watch their dogs and caring fir them while they are gone. I really love animals and dogs big time. I always let them outside whenever they feel like it and play roam around in backyard with fence :) I would go on dog walking and they give me excuses to work out too lol. They are my world. I would treat ur dogs as if they were my own. I am working a full time student at college but very flexible with hours. I can do after work for dog walking and even babysitting them too.

I will always give them treats if being good. All you have to do is let me know what not to do or to do for them so I can be prepared.

“Lucia was the best pet sitter for our kitty cat Sai. She went above and beyond and picked him up and dropped him off. She sent pics often and I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. Lucia also just has a kind and friendly personality. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I am very happy with our experience.”

“Yasmin was very diligent about sending pictures and updates about our cat while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cat. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Sam was so fantastic with our two cats while we were away on vacation! Although our kitties are pretty low maintenance, she spent quality time with them while taking care of their needs. Our cats are normally antisocial, but we received several pictures during our time away that would prove otherwise! They were obviously happy to have her visit, and we received great updates to help alleviate the pet guilt that comes with vacation. We will definitely be contacting her next time we are away!”

About: My pets are indoors AND outside because I have safe, pet friendly, separated or joined, sheltered, natural areas where we can all unwind on my seven acres. I'm a retiree who devotes all my time to my grandkids, animals and hobbies.

About: I've been an animal lover since childhood. If I can't adopt each one, at least I can provide a safe, playful, and loving temporary environment I am a stay at home mom which means I am available for your fur baby days, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Care at your convenience. I have 1 dog who are very precious to me. I lovingly care for her daily with proper nutrition, walks, and love. I proudly bring her places with me.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

About: I was raised in Indianola, graduated from IHS in 1993 then Simpson College in 1997. As a retired financial services professional, life is all about family, friends, and spending as much time in nature as possible.

About: NOTE: I work weekdays throughout the school year. Still available, but pets will be at home without me on weekdays for about 7 hours. I have owned and cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for small dogs <25 pounds all the way up to large sized Great Danes > 200 pounds. I have been fostering dogs for Safe Paws Iowa for the past 3 years. I am available for a large portion of the summer because I only coach softball outside of the school year. I am very active and would love to share that energy with dogs! Walking, jogging, or just playing in the doggy pool is no issue at all. I currently have two dogs of my own. They can play all together or be kept separated! I also have experience giving dogs meds as some of the dogs in my care have different long term conditions. Can’t wait to meet your precious pups! Please contact me if you have any remaining questions! I am mostly free over the summer and weekends. I run errands or make plans outside of when I’m taking care of pets. Pet care is my priority while hosting! I have a fenced in yard, my own dogs to join in play if wanted, I have gates/doors and a finished lower level where I can separate dogs if need be, and have multiple kennels. I allow my dogs on furniture, but can follow owner house rules.
“Very accommodating on very short notice. Paige took great care of Cricket while I dealt with an emergency with another pet and I was able to rest easy that Cricket was in good hands!”

About: With a lifelong ownership of dogs and cats, my experience expanded into rescue fostering in 2021. During this time, I have successfully handled pets that deal with separation anxiety, reactivity, handicaps, and limited obedience/cooperation. I am genuinely excited to learn more about your pet(s), their specific care requirements, and their quirks. I’d love to have responsibility of being your trusted caretaker while you’re away! I am currently working fully remote so am able to do all activities through the weekdays, and have flexible hours on weekends. I’m available to accommodate your schedule to the best of my ability. My home is pet-free, ensuring a comfortable environment for your pet(s), especially if they don’t get along well with other animals. Drawing from my experience with reactive dogs, I am experienced in implementing safety measures during outdoor walks or encounters with other animals.

About: I love dogs so much, I got paw prints tattooed on my wrist! I am only working part time at the moment, so I am extremely flexible with meeting the special needs of your furry friend. I have been caring for family fur babies ever since I can remember. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, pigs, horses, snakes, tarantulas—if you can own it, I have fed, watered, and loved it at some point! It wasn’t until I moved away that I realized how much I miss having that in my life. With Rover, I hope to make my days a little brighter, while giving your pet everything he/she needs to be just as happy. I’ll love them (almost) as much as you do! Thank you for reading!
About: I have had anywhere from 1-5 dogs at a time my whole life. I have had many breed and all age ranges from 8 weeks to 15 years old. I have a handful of pet/house sitting experience and looking for more opportunities! I have a full time job and have my own business so my schedule can be kind of busy, but, I try to make everything work! Reach out and I’ll fit you into my schedule! I work overnights in other peoples home as one of my jobs, so I have experience in respecting other peoples spaces. I am willing to adapt to your home situation/rules whether that’s fence, no fence, on/off leash, etc. I will give your animals lots of love and treat them as my own.

About: I've had pets all my life and would love to care for yours too, on a temporary basis. I love to vacation and often struggle with finding a solution for my babies while I'm gone. For me my favorite choice is to have someone I know and trust stay in my home but there's hardly ever anyone available for that kind of commitment! I thought it would be awesome to be able to provide that kind of care for someone else: house/pet sitting, drop-in, or just walks/exercise. I want you to know your pets are loved and treated with gentle kindness. I recognize that I'm kind of a stranger to your babies and I'll treat them like my own and earn their trust! They'll be loved and cared for in a way that will make your absence less stressful for them and as much like their normal days as it can be while you're away. I take my responsibilities to others extremely seriously and won't be satisfied unless you are! I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability on weekdays and weekends both. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are fine by mutual agreement. I enjoy taking find for walks or just playing outside in the yard. On days where weather is bad, I'm happy to get the dogs outside to do their business and then play a bit indoors!
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved being around dogs. I have grown up around many dogs my family owned and learned how to properly take care of a dog from a young age. My high school job was working at a doggy daycare facility and thats when I blossomed. It was a job I was excited to attendant and fell in love with many of the dogs there. I am very patient with dogs and will give them all of the attention they need. I would be a great fit for your dog because I will love the dog just as much as you do! At the moment I only work 3 days a week. This benefit's me because the other 4 days off I am free and more than happy to take care of your dog. I have flexible scheduling on my days off and can even set up a weekly schedule if needed. I live in a very loving home. It will just be me taking care of your dog so you wouldn’t have to worry about any strangers being around. I have a very big yard to be able to play fetch with your dog and a very nice neighborhood to take your dog on walks. I am more than willing to travel to your own home to take care of your dog as well and any needs that come along with it.

About: Trusted pet sitter offering reliable training support and compassionate senior care. Dedicated to safety, comfort, and giving every pet personalized attention tailored to their needs.

I have plenty of time and energy to give pets my full attention I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel at home. I stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and make sure they always feel secure and loved.
About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

About: I grew up in the country. We always had at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at our home. I can keep your pets safe and happy. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I plan to get another dog here around July, so until then, I have plenty of time to look after yours. I typically will let dogs out to use the restroom or just play every 2 hours. I like to use positive reinforcement, treats, and affection while looking after animals. I realy enjoy spending time with dogs.
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

“Allison was terrific! She helped out on short notice and went above and beyond to make everything work. The dogs love her. She is a great communicator. Very professional and responsive. Highly recommend!!”
About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."
About: I have had multiple pets from mice to dogs so I'm well rounded in diverse care. I love to play with animals especially dogs theyre just amazing. Weekends, work days, holidays (if needed). I can house for multiple days. I only leave to get groceries or to take my dog to the park. Safe and loving. Will have a great play partner Sammy loves to play he would all day if he could, we go on walks, park trips, sometimes just a drive.
About: My fiancée, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 8 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 2 year old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. I work from home full time and Anthony has a flexible work schedule. We will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.
About: Prices are negotiable. I understand when having multiple dogs it racks up to a lot. I am willing to work with you on prices. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old. My love for dogs is never ending. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 19. I’m available to stay with your dog. I am not available to bring your dog to my house. I believe dogs do best in their own environment with all their toys and their own area. I’m currently work full time for a daycare in Polk City. I work 10hr days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On the weekends I like to take my sister’s dog for a walk unless I am watching someone else dog I will take that dog on a walk if able to. Majority of the dogs I watch stay at home because they know that area better. Anxiety is very common in dogs that get boarded or are away from home.

“Lucia was amazing and took great care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town! She took them to the dog park and sent great detailed updates. She was very friendly to communicate with and quick to respond. We’ll definitely use Lucia next time we go out of town!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I got my first cat when I was 16 and now have two beautiful cats. Taking care of my cats has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and genuine love. I have also learned a lot about animal behavior from observing my cats and spending the past six years with them. Even though I have cats at home, I’ve also always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel comfortable and loved. I am a nursing student at DMACC and have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday available to care for pets! I am available to work anytime between 10AM and 11PM. I make sure I always know where my pets are throughout the day. If they aren’t in their usual spots, I check on them to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before leaving the house, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and that their scheduled meals are served. I also pay attention to their behavior because it tells me a lot about how they are doing.

I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
“Ali was so great with our dog! She was flexible and easy to work with and made sure she knew a lot about our dog’s routines before our trip. We loved knowing he was being well taken care of while we were gone! We would highly recommend her and plan to check with her again the next time we’re gone! You and your pets will love her too!”

“Alicia was responsive and took great care of Harry while we were away. He came home happy and tired, which is a nice combo. :) It was nice to know he was in a house with other pets and kiddos to play with.”

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.
About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!
“Kelsey was amazing watching our two dogs! Very accommodating on pickup and drop off times and gave us updates throughout their entire stay. Will definitely consider her again the next time we need a sitter!”

About: I have loved dogs all my life! I grew up with my Golden Retriever and a cat. I love big dogs and going on walks. I am going to class part time and work about 10 hours a week. My schedule is pretty open. I am also open most weekends. I live in a nice apartment with plenty of space and grass for dogs to run. Clean, friendly environment with no other pets and has a lot of open space.
About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. I can provide high level care, including medications, insulin injections, and mobility assistance. I can handle anxious, reactive and/or energetic dogs. I have a flexible job schedule and will be able to accommodate your dog's needs! I will make them a priority as I do with my own. I live in the country and can provide long walks and trail runs. I just adore dogs and will be happy to dote on yours!
