“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.”
“Ming was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Ming was responsive, provided daily pictures and videos and took great care of our pup. He was prompt, easy to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. THANK YOU!!!”
“Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!”
“Steve was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They had a great time with him at his home and enjoyed lots of walks, rubs, naps and exploring. Steve sent pictures to us a few times each day to show us how well they were doing. They came home happy and healthy. We'll absolutely be booking again.”
“Debra was an absolute blessing! We live out of town from her and she was willing to accept our puppy earlier than planned with open arms! She sent many updates and pictures letting us know how he was doing and we truly felt she loved him like he was her own! We highly recommend Debra to everyone!!!”
“Emma had a great visit with Tiffany and family. They are welcoming and I found it comforting the way that Emma felt comfortable with them right away. I was traveling and staying at a hotel because of a family wedding. When so sm in town again I will definitely use them to take care of Emma. (My12 year old Shiipoo).”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“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!”
“Our experience with Jamie was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing Rover services for our dog Ruby. Jamie sent pictures and updates each day. It was such a reassurance knowing Ruby was so well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jamie!!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Chloe has watched Louie a few times. She is always very accommodating, sends updates and pictures without being asked, and Louie is always such a happy boy when it’s time for pick up. My dog Louie really enjoys the smells of all the other farm animals they have :)”
“This was our first time using Rovr and Ali couldn’t have been better to work with. She was very flexible and took great care of our dog. She sent plenty of photos so we knew he was doing okay. I would highly recommend her and know that if we use Rovr again, we will gladly use Ali’s service again.”
“Kaylee and Nick were fantastic. Our pups were well taken care of and wore out when I picked them up. They communicated with me throughout the week and even sent a couple pics. Highly recommend and we will for sure be back.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kat was amazing with my two pups. Regular walks, regular pictures, updates, all the lovings to the fur babies.. you name it. I’m sure my pups will miss Kat and her mom. I’d highly recommend Kat to other dog parents and wish Kat and her mom good luck and good health. Thanks once again, Kat🙂”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelly! She’s spectacular. Gave my girl lots of love while I was gone, sent lots of pictures, and I can just tell by the way my cat warmed up to her that she’s a good soul. She gave me such peace of mind that allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. Even handled the power going out at my house like a pro. She will be my go to sitter for any needs in the future. Thank you!!”
“Ashleigh went above and beyond. We truly cannot say enough good words about our experience or her care. We needed help in the eleventh hour in order to go on our honeymoon. She was AMAZING and we could really enjoy our time away knowing she would take great care of our cat. He needs insulin every twelve hours and she never missed a single shot. She played with him, cuddled him and just overall did an excellent job. So flexible when certain needs changed and very understanding. We would 100000% book her again.”
“Makenna is always so reliable and wonderful to our fur babies. Thank you for being so flexible around our schedules and we love your detailed updates while we are stuck at work.”
“Erik did a great job doing drop-ins for our cat! He communicated regularly with us and was very easy to work with & there were zero issues. :) I'd recommend him!”
“Avri was perfect for our little puppy!! She brought her 1 year old dog to socialize and even sent me pictures and video updates from their play time! We can’t wait to hire her in the future for our fur baby!”
“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Emma was very caring and attentive to our kitties while we were away. She gave great updates and pictures! I highly recommend and trust her to take care of our kitties again! Thank you, Emma!”
“I will definitely request Mira's help again - this was our first Rover experience, and she was a blessing. She went above and beyond by dropping by to meet Sam ahead of time so he wouldn't view her as an intruder. He's 90 pounds and we're still working on his puppy manners (like jumping and the occasional body slam), and she was competent and professional in taking him on. Mira dropped by twice as requested, took him for a walk, and sent plenty of photos so we could see he was having the best time with her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mira!”
“Rebecca took outstanding care of our beloved cat while we were out of the country for two months. She is caring, kind, professional, and knows how to interact with cats. We appreciated that she provided updates and photos whenever our spotty internet allowed. I would recommend her to others without reservation!”
“Carol was amazing. Professional, timely, kind, and very good with pets. Our kitty is usually shy, but he went straight up to her on their first meeting. We felt peace of mind traveling for longer with her checking in.”
“We have used Maddie for about a year now to watch our cats. Maddie is an expert at caring for them and it really shows in the details for the care she provides. We have a cat with special needs and we feel super comfortable leaving them in her care. She’s really thoughtful in everything she does, is a great communicator, responds in a timely manner, and is super fair with pricing. I love having her around and would always be willing to give her any kind of reference she needs”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.
“Erik was so helpful, as I can walk some of my dogs but not all. He took the one that I couldn't & gave him a good workout. He communicated well, asking if could come early as his schedule opened up. I will use him again.”
“Thanks so much for always taking such great care of Bella! I have absolute confidence in Ashleigh's care and commitment to giving Bella the BEST experience every time!”

I make sure your dog is safe and happy while also following the list of instructions given by you. If you need me to stay over I can maintain a clean environment
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I regularly help care for a German Shepherd, including feeding, administering oral medications, and providing frequent potty breaks and attention. I’m also experienced with smaller, high-energy dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. In addition, I have my own cat, so I’m very familiar with feline care, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and giving lots of attention to more vocal or affectionate cats. I also care for my own pet gecko, which has given me experience maintaining consistent routines and meeting specific care needs for animals. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and needs, including pets that require extra care or supervision. I’m available Thursdays through Sundays for full-time care, and can also care for pets on my workdays after shifts. I’m experienced with adult dogs, cats, and pets with special needs, and I always make sure they receive attention, feeding, and potty breaks according to their schedule I provide attentive and loving care for pets, whether in my home or theirs. At a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, give pets regular attention and potty breaks, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment with plenty of love, attention, and safe spaces for pets to relax and play

About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.

I work both from home and in the office, giving me flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs. I cannot have other dogs in my home due to my Catahoula Leopard being protective. I have always kept an eye on dogs when they go outside and I even go outside with them to allow them to go the bathroom and also play with the them.
About: I know what it takes to care for your pets so they won’t even miss you while you’re gone! I am skilled at brisk or slow “sniff,” walks depending on the needs of your pet.

I’m looking forward to spending time with your animal. I love to be outside, provide snuggles, work on commands, and give treats.

About: I have worked for a pet care company as one of their most valuable and trusted caregivers. Working with dogs, cats, and other pets of varying sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with any breed and don't discriminate based on breed. Something that I've been told by owners and coworkers alike is that I truly care for the animals and I take ownership of not only the care I provide but the pets wellbeing. Simply put I'll give your pet(s) the same love and attention you would. I'll go the extra mile to make sure that your pet is happy and healthy, and I'll make sure you always feel like you've got the best knowledge of what we've been up to. I have a love for animals that allows me to take care of even the less enjoyable parts of caring for them, and communication skills that will never leave you wanting for more. I work twelve hour shifts three days a week so I’m busy when I’m working those shifts but like to fill my days off from that with my pets and other people’s. I’m big on following whatever your routine is so there’s no question about how safe we’re staying and it makes for pets feeling much more settled and comfortable themselves.

“Ming was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Ming was responsive, provided daily pictures and videos and took great care of our pup. He was prompt, easy to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. THANK YOU!!!”
“Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!”

“Katrina and her family were wonderful! This was the first time my dog has stayed with someone other than family. He was pretty nervous at first and I could tell he didn’t want me to leave but they made him feel at home. Katrina sent me a picture to let me know he calmed down and warmed up to their house. I felt so relaxed knowing he was at a loving home. I definitely recommend Katrina and will definitely use her again when we leave town.”
