“Kyle was amazing with our pups! I received updates, pics, and videos several times a day. My babies came back to me happy to see me, along with being relaxed and loved. Highly recommend.”
“Otis had a great time at the farm! We got lots of updates while we were away so we had peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Will definitely bring Otis back! He loved his stay.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dogs have only been left with friends and family before. Steve was absolutely AMAZING with our two little dogs. He was very cognizant of their needs and showed them patience and kindness as they warmed up to him. The moment I dropped them off I walked away with a true sense of peace and never worried once about them while they were in his care. He sent many photos and updates each day through out their stay, including each morning with an update of how their night went. Typically when we leave them with others, family and friends they know, they won’t eat for the first day or two, but with Steve they both ate right away, which let me know they felt comfortable. I highly recommend Steve and without a doubt will book with him again.”
“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”
“Tiffany and her family are great with our little Ronnie. He is well taken care of and he really has a lot of fun there. We check to see if Tiffany’s available before we consider anyone else to take care of our baby boy! Ronnie is always happy and relaxed after his stay with Tiffany!”
“We are SO grateful for Kat. She allowed our Dakota to stay in her home for a week while we were away for our wedding. Before the week vacation began, I was so nervous to leave Dakota with someone I didn’t know, we’d never done that before. Though, Kat went above and beyond. She moved plants around in her home to help keep Dakota safe. She allowed Dakota to drink water from the sink, like she does at home, to help keep Dakota happy! During the stay, she sent pictures and updates each day. And at the end, she had everything packed and ready to go for me upon pick up! It couldn’t have been a better experience and Kat a more perfect sitter. We will definitely be asking Kat for her help in the future! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“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.”
“Ashley was great with giving photo updates on my dog’s stay at her home. We met briefly the day before and drop off the morning of was easy! She was flexible with times and was very kind. Would definitely book her again. :)”
“Nathan is amazing. He has watched my Wrigley twice now. Wrigley can be skittish at times, but Nathan is patient and takes amazing care of our boy. Anyone in Cedar Rapids area Nathan is the dog sitter you should use if you want your dog taken care of while you are away.”
“My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!”
“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.”
“Caitlin (and John) were great! Norm had multiple walks/day and she sent pics and videos of him playing and hanging out with the family throughout his stay. They were very accommodating with drop off and pickup times.”
“Such a great experience! Boarding our dog was a last minute decision for us and I would do it again with them! They sent photos daily to Lee us posted on our dog. Fast replies to messages. Great communication!”
“When my sitter cancelled the day before my best friend's wedding, Katrina truly saved the day. I so appreciated her speedy response and willingness to book last minute. I also loved the pictures and videos of my pup playing with her boys throughout the day!”
“My dogs had so much fun playing at Ashley’s house all weekend! She sent us a lot of pictures and videos which helped ease my nerves. There is a nice big fenced in yard and even doggie pools! She is very flexible for everything from care instructions to pick up/drop off times.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”

“Sana is amazing!!! She watched my cats for 2.5 weeks (the longest I have ever left them). While she was there, my cats managed to knock my jewelery off the shelf and into the nearby cat litter bin. Sana went through the cat litter to get my jewelry. In addition to that, she was amazing about everything else! She sent so many pictures and my house is nice and clean and my cats seem happy. I will definitely be trying to hire her again!”
“Hailey went above and beyond! We loved getting the updates and photos! She asked great questions and made sure our loved ones were well cared for while we were gone! Definitely highly recommend Hailey!!”
About: I love walking dogs and playing with them. Dogs really are a human’s best friend. As a dog owner, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to try to find care when you are working long hours or have a trip out of town that isn’t dog friendly. I have relied on pet sitting and am so thankful to be able to do the same for others! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home in Rowlett with a fenced backyard. The streets are wide and great for long walks, the neighborhood is safe, and there are plenty of sites and smells for a dog to enjoy! For cozier times, I have a den in my house that is perfect for dogs to play in! It’s a dog paradise here. When I’m not snuggling and walking dogs, I love to cook, dance, read and listen to music. I’m the happiest when I’m surrounded by family — including my fur babies! I live with my 2 children who are 12 and 15. I grew up with dogs and everyone in the house loves dogs, so your dog will get lots of love! I work from home, so I have lots of opportunity to spend time with your very special dog and keep them safe and loved while you’re away!
“Chrissy was AMAZING with my Lab and Rottweiler. I recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies watched. She was very communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would🤩”
“Tiffany helped us with taking care of our cat Craig for a couple weeks until we were able to move into our new place. He can be an anxious cat but she was great about introducing him slowly and he was obviously very comfortable when we came to pick him up. Craig received lots of love and attention in her care, and I appreciated the daily pics and updates about how he was settling in. Highly recommended and will definitely reach out again if we're ever in need of boarding for our animals!”
“Ashleigh did a wonderful job with my high maintenance kitty and her brothers. Very conscientious, good communication and tidy. She stepped up with short notice - I hit the jackpot! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and have cared for cats of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and understand that every cat has unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning the litter box, playing, giving medication if instructed, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every cat with the same love and attention I would give my own.
About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have had experience for 10+ years, so I am well aware of the commitment that is required to care for pets. I am a dedicated, non-smoking, animal loving, professional who can't wait to care for your gorgeous animal/s! Each pet has their own personality and style so I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want! If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want to play, I could play all day. And if it's space that they're looking for, I can give them that as well! It's all about what the precious pets need from me. I provide excellent 5 star services for you and your fur-family, my aim is to make them happy!

About: I’ve had cats ever since I was growing up, and I’ve always had a deep love and connection with all pets, but cats specifically.

I have experience caring for cats of all different personalities and am happy to provide and care for your cat the way that’s most like home to them.

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.

“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!”

“This was our first experience with Rover and it exceeded our expectations. Ali did a great job caring for our 4 1/2 year old black lab, George. Ali was easy to get in touch with and attended to George’s medical issues requiring meds and exercise restrictions. George was clearly well cared for and loved.? Highly recommended!”

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

“I used to think that no other person could love my dog Oliver as much as I do... until I found Trish. She has been an absolute godsend to us and I could not be more grateful for her. It truly feels like I am dropping my dog off to spend the day with family in a home where he will be loved to no end. I wish I could give her 100 ⭐️'s and I HIGHLY recommend her for anybody in need of dog care!”

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 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!

About: I love walking dogs and playing with them. Dogs really are a human’s best friend. As a dog owner, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to try to find care when you are working long hours or have a trip out of town that isn’t dog friendly. I have relied on pet sitting and am so thankful to be able to do the same for others! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home in Rowlett with a fenced backyard. The streets are wide and great for long walks, the neighborhood is safe, and there are plenty of sites and smells for a dog to enjoy! For cozier times, I have a den in my house that is perfect for dogs to play in! It’s a dog paradise here. When I’m not snuggling and walking dogs, I love to cook, dance, read and listen to music. I’m the happiest when I’m surrounded by family — including my fur babies! I live with my 2 children who are 12 and 15. I grew up with dogs and everyone in the house loves dogs, so your dog will get lots of love! I work from home, so I have lots of opportunity to spend time with your very special dog and keep them safe and loved while you’re away!

“Otis had a great time at the farm! We got lots of updates while we were away so we had peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Will definitely bring Otis back! He loved his stay.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dogs have only been left with friends and family before. Steve was absolutely AMAZING with our two little dogs. He was very cognizant of their needs and showed them patience and kindness as they warmed up to him. The moment I dropped them off I walked away with a true sense of peace and never worried once about them while they were in his care. He sent many photos and updates each day through out their stay, including each morning with an update of how their night went. Typically when we leave them with others, family and friends they know, they won’t eat for the first day or two, but with Steve they both ate right away, which let me know they felt comfortable. I highly recommend Steve and without a doubt will book with him again.”
“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”
“Tiffany and her family are great with our little Ronnie. He is well taken care of and he really has a lot of fun there. We check to see if Tiffany’s available before we consider anyone else to take care of our baby boy! Ronnie is always happy and relaxed after his stay with Tiffany!”
“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.”
“Ashley was great with giving photo updates on my dog’s stay at her home. We met briefly the day before and drop off the morning of was easy! She was flexible with times and was very kind. Would definitely book her again. :)”
“Nathan is amazing. He has watched my Wrigley twice now. Wrigley can be skittish at times, but Nathan is patient and takes amazing care of our boy. Anyone in Cedar Rapids area Nathan is the dog sitter you should use if you want your dog taken care of while you are away.”
“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.”
“Caitlin (and John) were great! Norm had multiple walks/day and she sent pics and videos of him playing and hanging out with the family throughout his stay. They were very accommodating with drop off and pickup times.”
“Such a great experience! Boarding our dog was a last minute decision for us and I would do it again with them! They sent photos daily to Lee us posted on our dog. Fast replies to messages. Great communication!”
“When my sitter cancelled the day before my best friend's wedding, Katrina truly saved the day. I so appreciated her speedy response and willingness to book last minute. I also loved the pictures and videos of my pup playing with her boys throughout the day!”
“My dogs had so much fun playing at Ashley’s house all weekend! She sent us a lot of pictures and videos which helped ease my nerves. There is a nice big fenced in yard and even doggie pools! She is very flexible for everything from care instructions to pick up/drop off times.”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
“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!!!!”
“Everything went well with us and our dog Honey. We received regular updates as promised, and the pictures showed our happy friend well cared for. Videos showed she was having fun with other dogs—which has improved Honey’s behavior when we encounter other dogs on our nightly walk. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amanda again.”
“So amazing! This was Greta’s first time with Adela and she love, love, loved it! Her dogs were awesome with Greta and her household super loving! 15 inches of snow that first night and Adela didn’t mind a bit. We needed an extra night because of it and Adela and family were so happy about it. Highly recommend them! We’ll be back!”
