My shy dog was so happy at their house! They are caring, flexible and good communicators. I couldn’t be happier with the care and support they gave to my dog.

About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.

Adriana definitely eased our minds while we were away on vacation! Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!

About: "Hi there! I'm Stephanie, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter. Growing up with dogs, I know exactly how much they mean to your family. I'm experienced in administering medication, managing complex feeding schedules, and handling high-energy breeds.

Whether they need a long, brisk walk or just some cuddle time on the couch, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for your furry family member. I currently work at home so I am home with your dog most of the day and all night. Normally only gone for an hour or two if I need to run errands. I have a new chained link fence in a spacious back yard. I love to go on walks with your pet on a leash. I have worked with kennel trained dogs and those not trained. Experience with puppies and trained hunting dogs. I can administer medicine to those who need it.

Jordon has done extended stays caring for my long haired cat, Oliver. Oliver really doesn’t like to be social with anyone, but me! Jordon sends pictures everyday and to my surprise some of the pics….Oliver is sitting next to and relaxing with Jordon. He is very responsible & caring. He goes above and beyond. I will ask for Jordon every time I need someone to stay with Oliver while I’m away. Thank you, Jordon!

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family home. As an adult, I've primarily taken care of cats; both mine and others. The care consisted of daily feeding, litter care, basic grooming (yes, even baths!) and administering medication. I have seen signs of infection, disease, and injuries and I know how to address most common ones. Additionally, I am very attentive to body language. You could say I'm fluent in feline! From introverted and antisocial to boisterous and talkative, I am a lover of all types!

Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!

I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!

About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in!

About: I love the energy of animals - particularly the playfulness, affection, and intelligence of dogs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens and have cared for bunnies, sheep, and fish. Chickens, like dogs, stand out because of their unique personalities and the funny hierarchy in a hen house. I’d be happy to offer care to a wide variety of animals as I’m comfortable around all I’ve encountered, but dogs hold a special home in my heart. I’m self-employed and have been running my own online business for nearly 12 years now and I’m very flexible and open to your schedule. I am well-versed in the importance of timely, thorough, and thoughtful responses and attention to detail. I’ll be sure to respond to requests and messages as quickly as possible, and to stay in communication with my customers for the duration of my stay with your pup! When I’m not enjoying the company of animals, you can usually find me writing or cooking. I also love nature walks and any change to watch the sunset. Because I do travel, I can’t have a dog of my own right now, but I’d love to “get my fix” by caring for your furry friend! I can’t wait to meet you! I love starting and ending the day with a walk, and a dog is the perfect companion! My schedule is flexible so I'm more than happy to take their lead and listen to their needs. At this time, I can't host dogs in my home, but I would be delighted to house sit and care for your home and animals while you are away!

About: I have had pets in my life since the day I was born. I got my first cat when I was 3 and have had many more since then. :) Caring for my pets has become something that I have worked on and improved over the years - and I love meeting new pets! I own my own business that is run from my home and a downtown location - just three blocks from my home. :) My husband runs our household and is home or helping me daily. We have a fenced in yard that is big enough for the dogs to run laps - and three other dogs who adapt well to having friends over. :)

About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.

About: Since a baby, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. Not all at once, but I have always been a lover of animals of all types. I have been around animals with sensitive diets, tummy troubles, skin sensitivity, anxiety, and paw pain and know how to spot the warning signs for most common complications. Grooming, bathing, feeding, and exercise are all tasks I am deeply familiar with. If your pet has unique care instructions, trust that I will do my best research prior and will carefully ensure your baby receives the most comfortable stay. I am a college student currently. I currently live in a studio apartment near UNI and will be able to flexibly care for any animals of all types; sans very large dogs for space reasons. My time mostly consists of studying and trying to find the time to exercise enough, so you don't have to worry about a busy body! For my in home service, I am very meticulous about "leaving it as I found it or better than it was." Having military discipline, I am punctual about arriving, check-ins, and feeding/potty times. You can guarantee that any and all instructions relating to your baby or babies is closely followed and communication prompt when necessary. As for boarding or hourly stays, my home is their home. They are welcome to sleep or lounge where they like and accompany me on a walk around town or during a Law and Order binge. Belly rubs and butt scratches are always available round the clock!

About: I have taken care of my two dogs for most of my life. Not only that but I have been taking care of neighbors and family friends animals since I was 14 years old. I love spending time with animals even if they're not my own. I don't have professional experience but its not my first time doing this sort of job I've found that creating a pet care schedule is essential for keeping your furry friend happy and healthy so currently I am not working any jobs now, so I have plenty of time to spend with anyone animal. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment for animals is of utmost importance so unfortunately, I do not have a fenced-in yard at the time but I have a great walking route for my dogs, and we love to spend lots of time outside.

Adriana definitely eased our minds while we were away on vacation! Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!

About: "Hi there! I'm Stephanie, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter. Growing up with dogs, I know exactly how much they mean to your family. I'm experienced in administering medication, managing complex feeding schedules, and handling high-energy breeds. I work from home, meaning your pets will never be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention and potty breaks. Whether they need a long, brisk walk or just some cuddle time on the couch, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for your furry family member. I currently work at home so I am home with your dog most of the day and all night. Normally only gone for an hour or two if I need to run errands. I have a new chained link fence in a spacious back yard. I love to go on walks with your pet on a leash. I have worked with kennel trained dogs and those not trained. Experience with puppies and trained hunting dogs. I can administer medicine to those who need it.
