Jason is great, he’s been watching my lab for a few months now in a weekly basis and has board him a few times as well. Bellamy is always happy to go in and he’s tired when I pick him up from playing with Glacier and other friends. He sends me pictures and keeps me updated. I travel often for work and knowing that he’s reliable and takes very good care of him when I’m away makes me feel better about leaving. Thank you Jason and see you soon!

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

We needed an extra night because of it and Adela and family were so happy about it. Highly recommend them! We’ll be back!

This was our first time using Rover and Katie was AMAZING! She was extra patient with our hesitant kitten and by the second visit, they were already best buds. She was reliable, took extra cute pictures, provided updates, and made sure our kitten had clean litter, and fresh food and water every visit. We really appreciate being able to enjoy our time away knowing that Katie was taking care of her. We can’t recommend her enough!

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

About: Hi! I’m a proud cat person with lots of hands-on experience caring for cats of all moods and personalities—from super social snugglers to the “I’ll admire you from across the room” types. I currently have cats of my own, so I totally understand how important it is to keep their routine consistent and their space calm and stress-free. Whether your cat wants playtime, treats, or just a quiet, respectful presence, I’ll meet them exactly where they’re at (on their terms, of course). You’ll also get plenty of updates, photos, and little check-ins—because I know how much it means to see your cat happy and doing their thing while you’re away. My goal is a happy cat and a relaxed owner. I’d love to meet your kitty! 🐾

About: I'm a firm believer that life is better with dogs. However, I know how busy life can get, so I'm happy to help somebody keep the dog in their life happy. I work from home so I'm here all the time, so my schedule can be flexible during the day. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours like they are, too. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I can come over in the morning for breakfast, in the middle of the day for walks, to at night for dinner. I would prefer to care for your dogs in your home. I have 3 of my own, so it would be a little chaotic if they were all here

About: I have had my own pet sitting business since I was 10 and have watched and cared all different breeds and even cats! I have a lot of experience with large, high-energy hunting breeds and ensure that each pup gets enough exercise each day. My favs are the dog park and the beach! I also trained my golden retriever, Harper in agility! In my free time I love to volunteer at the animal shelter, to give back! So I have experience with pets with separation anxiety and those that aren’t friendly with other pets! I ensure all pet parents are updated with pictures and videos! I currently go to school in Iowa City and wanted to watch some pets over break! I am free for the entire break, Mid December-Mid January! Either in my home or the clients I keep a close eye on the pet! I ensure adequate exercise and keeping the pet out of trouble. When in the clients home I make sure that I am locking doors and can take care of other household chores like garbage, shoveling, and dishes!

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, bathing, brushing, enrichment play, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt my care to meet their individual needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment you can trust. I work Wednesdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and my husband works from home Monday through Friday, allowing us to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the week. We also have a 7-month-old baby in our home, so we maintain a calm, structured environment. Pets staying with us should be comfortable around infants and gentle in nature. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We have a yard for outdoor time; however, it is not fenced. All outdoor time is fully supervised and on leash to ensure your pet’s safety. We provide frequent potty breaks and maintain a calm, structured, pet-friendly home. Safety is our top priority, and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re happy to provide updates and photos during their stay for your peace of mind. 🐾Booking & Care Details🐾 Boarding is based on 24-hour care beginning at your scheduled drop-off time. Rover automatically applies extended care charges for late pick-ups beyond that window, so accurate timing is important when booking. Holiday rates apply to major travel dates. Puppies and additional dogs are charged at adjusted rates due to the increased supervision required. For longer stays or work-travel bookings, I’m happy to discuss customized arrangements. 🐾 Meet & Greet Policy🐾 A meet and greet is required for all new clients prior to confirming a boarding stay. This ensures your dog is comfortable in our home environment and is a safe fit around children and other animals. Meet and greets allow us to review routines, temperament, and expectations so your pet’s stay is smooth and stress-free.

Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!

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: I lost my dog last year and miss taking care of him, now that I have free time on my hands I'm looking to help take care of other dogs like I would my own. I treat pets like family and have experience with administering medications if needed and am willing to learn of any specific needs your pet has to take care of them like you would! I'm currently free most days and stay at home since my school schedule is very light for the next few months and have flexibility in it. I currently don't have any pets so there is no concern for socializing or introducing them. In addition I live in an apartment with a large grassy area where dogs can walk on and will use a leash while doing so to make sure your pet is safe.

About: Get to know me ~ It’s lovely to meet you! I’m Skylynn! But my friends call me “Lo”. I am a clinic services specialist at UIHC, an active reader, lover of nature—and I ADORE fur-babies! 💕 Pets have been part of my world since I could walk! I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats through every stage: from puppies with the zoomies to sweet, nonchalant seniors. In that time, I have learned to tailor walks and playtime to match each pet’s energy, keep a close eye on special diets, and gently handle medications and supplements when needed. Whether they’re shy, spunky, cuddly, or curious, I tune into their emotional needs: offering play, snuggles, and calm companionship that makes them feel right at home. I even handle brushing and nail trims, when requested, to help your sweet-faced, little fur-ball feel their best! No matter who I’m caring for, I bring kindness, patience, and a whole lot of heart to every visit! Friends, family, and clients have trusted me for years because I treat every pet like family. Because to me, they are! (También hablo español :) My Availability ~ I work full time at the U; Monday-Friday. On weekdays I am available in the afternoon and overnight (with pick-up at 7AM). I am available all weekend. Safety & Environment ~ In my home, your pet becomes part of the crew. I have two very friendly, well-socialized cats (you could be a robber and they’d still flop on their backs and ask for belly rubs all the same! 😂) and a playful (yet very respectful) Shiba Inu puppy who loves making new friends, while understanding boundaries. I take introductions slow and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. My neighborhood is walkable and safe. I’m right down the street from the police station, fire station, local vet, and S.T. Morrison Park! Which means lots of fun walks, fresh air, and enrichment time! (I’m all about protective safeguards and organization, so living in close proximity to aid and community enrichment was a must for me :) 🙌 I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine: feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, cuddle preferences, crate time, you name it. I adjust to their vibe and your instruction.

My 9 year old, handicapped, German Shepard, little lady had an awesome time with Aryl, her pack and her family! We've already booked another stay. 🥰 This stay took place over overnight for 7 consecutive nights while I was at work. This was the first time not to allow her to stay at home alone. After a few rough nights alone, getting stuck a couple times, and then not able to make it through the night without apotty break, I knew I needed to find someone. Because Miss Black has lost use of her hind legs and is now in a wheelchair her care is a little more complex. Aryl administered her medication, assisted as needed going potty, and kept her cleaned up and smelling fresh every morning. This has been such a relief knowing she is in good hands. It gave me such peace of mind while I was working. Aryl didn't have any problems reading her communication signs. Even when she had other Rover dogs over, she was able to give Miss Black everything she needed. I believe Aryl's past experiences have given her the insight she needed to provide great care. Instead of wondering what I was going to walk into after a long shift, I was greeted by my smiling pup right inside the door.

About: I'm a 9th-year teacher and mom to a sweet 5-year-old daughter who’s never met an animal she didn’t instantly adore. For the past 10 years, I’ve fostered dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens—so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m home all summer and love spending my time running, walking, exploring parks, and being outside—especially when animals are involved! Whether it’s a midday walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets feel right at home. My goal is to give them the same level of love and care that I give to my own furry family members. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pets while you're away or at work! During the school year, I am available to run home for lunch and allow potty breaks. I am usually at work 7:45-3:45 most days. Other than that, your pet is top priority when I am off :) I have a large yard behind my house to run and play. I have fostered animals for years so I am experienced in kenneling animals, if preferred or I have lots of space to run around inside as well.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, bathing, brushing, enrichment play, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt my care to meet their individual needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment you can trust. I work Wednesdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and my husband works from home Monday through Friday, allowing us to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the week. We also have a 7-month-old baby in our home, so we maintain a calm, structured environment. Pets staying with us should be comfortable around infants and gentle in nature. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We have a yard for outdoor time; however, it is not fenced. All outdoor time is fully supervised and on leash to ensure your pet’s safety. We provide frequent potty breaks and maintain a calm, structured, pet-friendly home. Safety is our top priority, and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re happy to provide updates and photos during their stay for your peace of mind. 🐾Booking & Care Details🐾 Boarding is based on 24-hour care beginning at your scheduled drop-off time. Rover automatically applies extended care charges for late pick-ups beyond that window, so accurate timing is important when booking. Holiday rates apply to major travel dates. Puppies and additional dogs are charged at adjusted rates due to the increased supervision required. For longer stays or work-travel bookings, I’m happy to discuss customized arrangements. 🐾 Meet & Greet Policy🐾 A meet and greet is required for all new clients prior to confirming a boarding stay. This ensures your dog is comfortable in our home environment and is a safe fit around children and other animals. Meet and greets allow us to review routines, temperament, and expectations so your pet’s stay is smooth and stress-free.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, especially dogs. I’ve had dogs growing up all of my life and thought they bring so much joy to the world. Though they can be a lot of work, the fulfillment they bring is priceless. I have taken care of my own dogs and family friends for about 5 years including taking them on walks, potty training, bathing, and sometimes grooming. I’ve worked with puppies and middle aged dogs from a wide variety of breeds. I am currently working full time at my day job but am available after 3:30 pm. On weekends I am available any time as long as I am booked in advance. Pet care can also fit into my routine of daily walks. When caring for my own or other pets, I like to give them as much attention and care as possible to avoid boredom and loneliness. I usually take my own dogs out to the bathroom or walks every 2 hours. I provide appropriate care depending on the need for the animal.

About: I have had dogs and other animals my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. Growing up with pets taught me early on how important patience, consistency, and affection are when it comes to helping animals feel safe and happy. I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they need. I’m used to daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets get plenty of love and stimulation while their owners are away. I currently work a full-time remote job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets. Whether it's dropping in during the day, stopping by in the evening, or staying overnight, I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always try to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. Since I work remotely, I’m able to check in frequently and spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I grew up with a Shiba Inu, that I absolutely loved. My family has always had dogs. Currently I travel for work throughout the year, so I cannot have my own but this allows me to be connected and give animals the attention they need while giving me time with dogs that I miss. I work full-time remotely 8am - 5pm, unless I am booked and busy with traveling for work. I am happy to walk dogs in the area during my work day and let them outside and give them a walk! I will be as available as my job allows. I work from home so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to the pets needs. It’s always nice to have an animal to also give me a welcome break away from my desk or keep me company! I have a great yard that backs up to a park making it easy to exercise dogs. I have a ranch style home so no stairs for senior animals and plenty of space to be comfortable. I always make sure to listen to your scheduling and follow your directive for care.

About: I began providing pet care at 13 years old, starting with friends and family before expanding through social media to serve a wide range of clients. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, enrichment, and personalized care. What began as a passion has grown into a trusted, professional pet care service. For more about my background, visit me at Jet Set Pet Care. Animal care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine to ensure consistency and reliability for every client. I structure my schedule around morning, midday, and evening care windows to accommodate feeding times, walks, litter maintenance, and enrichment visits. I limit bookings to maintain quality and punctuality, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care. Weekly planning includes route organization, client communication, and follow-ups to ensure each pet’s needs are met. Pet care is not a side task for me — it is a priority and a structured part of my routine. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the specific service requested. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule to reduce stress — including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, medication if needed, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and provide detailed updates with photos.

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs longer than I can remember, with my childhood dog being a black lab named Rosebud. I’ve dealt with dogs ranging in all shapes and sizes. With the smallest being a Pomeranian and the biggest being a Saint Bernard. I’ve worked with energetic and lazy dogs, understanding the different care needs they might have. I have the basic knowledge on grooming and bathing. I’ve also worked with litter puppies and training puppies. I also understand the care and needs senior dogs may need as well. I currently work part-time as an overnight stocker, which gives me the entire day off to work with your pups. My schedule is very flexible and open for any of your needs. I’m willing to work around my life to fit into yours. I’m located next to many dog parks if that is what your dog needs. I also love walking and am an exercise guru, I’m always ready for a long walk if that’s what your pup prefers. I live by the moto “protecting pups, one paw at a time”. I understand that these animals are family and I strive to ensure their safety and proper care.

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

Archie was so well taken care of during our vacation. Lots of exercise and brushing- so well cared for while we were away. So thankful for Trish!

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!

This was our 2nd time using Travis and Dani and once again a 5 star experience. Great communication about the dogs and lots of photos during their stay. We know our dogs are well taken care of with them and appreciate all they do!

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.

This was our second time leaving our pup with Ming and Makenna. She had a blast playing with all of the other dogs, and they were great about keeping us updated while we were away. We will definitely take our dog to them again and would highly recommend!

My dog Chloe immediately took to Ty's calm good nature. Ty has great communication and proved to be an excellent dog-sitter! He went above and beyond when he watched her an extra night and day while we were stranded from a snow storm. Would highly recommend him!

Callie’s first stay with Tiffany was great! It’s always hard to leave her behind but we instantly felt comfortable knowing she was loved and well cared for by the whole family with lots of snuggles!

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!!!!

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!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.

As first-time Rover users, we were curious about the process, and Micki and her family were a great introduction to dog sitting! They provided an abundance of love, care, and safety for our two corgis. They were super flexible with drop off and pick up and sent many wonderful photos and videos. They would be our first-choice sitters when the need arises!
