“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.”

“Nicole took such amazing care of my dog, Chiquito! ❤️ She was so kind, patient, and loving with him, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated, treated him like her own, and made sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. Chiquito can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up to Nicole so quickly, which says a lot about how caring she is. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving with animals. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my little Chiquito! 🐶💕”

Since Coconut is used to sleeping in bed with me, Amanda let her sleep in her bed to make sure she was comfortable. She also sent pictures which I loved. I would highly recommend Amanda!”

“I have two small dogs. One of them is super sweet and everybody’s favorite. The other is standoffish and identifies as Houdini. They both did very well staying for almost a week at Katrina‘s house. When they came back home they were calm, with no signs of anxiety. I have had to use dog sitters three times this year already. This was the first time with Katrina. They did much better with her. She seems to genuinely enjoy having them stay with her.”

“We have been using Rover for many years for our miniature golden doodle who is now 12 years old. We recently had to find a new sitter when our previous sitter was no longer available. I have to say we were lucky to find Josh. He took our Charley in for a week stay and treated her just like his own. She felt very at ease with him and felt right at home. She seemed to enjoy her stay there and I would highly recommend Josh. He did an outstanding job. Thank you Josh.”

“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”

I am so excited to meet your pets!

About: I have over 8 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I provide dependable dog walking services focused on safety, exercise, and fun. I’m comfortable with puppies who are still learning leash manners as well as senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, basic reinforcement of commands, or extra patience and care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own every time we head out for a walk. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I’m also available most weekends. Whether your dog needs a consistent daily walk or occasional drop ins, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, on time care you can count on. Your dog’s safety is always my number one priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and any special needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level, age, and personality, whether that means a brisk, active walk or a slow, relaxed stroll. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable. We love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends! Faye is a full-time stay at home dog mom and my husband Rob helps take over dog care responsibilities after and before he goes to work. We make it a team effort so your dog will always have his or her needs met and get maximum love and attention. Safety comes first with your pet. We have a home that is safe and perfect for your little dog. We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!

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.

About: My experience includes behavior modification, rehabilitation and foster care. Since I was my daughter’s age I have been pet sitting and working with animals and would like to share the experience. I work at home during the day and my husband at night. I rotate shifts on the weekend so one of us is usually home. We have done injections, meds, sleep request in person or kennel. We try to be accommodating g in what is less stressful for the dog. Past CPR certification set to renew soon. Daughter is 13 and does well with shy animals. Please no aggressive dogs. I have. 117 regular clients and we have minimal issues out side of resource guarding (this is avoidable). Let me know if you would like to meet.

I am available to meet, call or book! Thank you! Please remember we are a family, we have school events, errands and a pre-teen schedule to work around. We do our best to accommodate and usually are within mins of home if we leave. My dog is a runner, so please give us time to answer the dog so he can be secured. He likes the trail we go on. :) Monday-Friday I work at home. I work nights sat And Sunday opposite my husband, we can accommodate drop off/pick most times except mid afternoon 2-4 is sometimes both transitioning.

We also got pics of Belle during her stay which is comforting and reassuring. If ever in Iowa City again, we'll look Emily's place up again.”

About: I have loved critters of all kinds since childhood. I attended obedience training for my family Rottweiler at age 6, and have cared for many big-breed dogs such as pitbulls, American bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes, labs, and more. I have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family starting as early as middle school, and am also very comfortable around small breeds and senior babies. I have experience with Boston terriers, yorkies, daschunds, beagles, and more. I have and am comfortable with administering necessary meds or topicals for pets with extra health needs. I have also cared for cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles. I am very passionate about rescuing, and happy to discuss any extra care your pet may need due to a life transition like fostering or rescuing. I watched a PETA ad when I was 9 years old and have been vegetarian ever since… I just really love animals! :) I am working part-time from home at the moment, so I am very flexible currently with my schedule. I am typically available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings! I have a fenced in backyard, and I do not have a dog of my own. I have a dining area with an extra couch that can be sectioned off if needed for a crate or food. I do have a senior cat who is indoor, who is very friendly with dogs. He grew up around my mom’s beagles, so he doesn’t mind company/energy! I can section off my basement stairs and kitchen for safety if needed. I cannot board any cat-aggressive dogs for my cat’s safety. I do not use any non pet-safe cleaners or pest control in my home.

I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time and I always keep the water bowl full. My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the chance to meet y'all! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

About: I have over 8 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I provide dependable dog walking services focused on safety, exercise, and fun. I’m comfortable with puppies who are still learning leash manners as well as senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, basic reinforcement of commands, or extra patience and care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own every time we head out for a walk. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I’m also available most weekends. Whether your dog needs a consistent daily walk or occasional drop ins, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, on time care you can count on. Your dog’s safety is always my number one priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and any special needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level, age, and personality, whether that means a brisk, active walk or a slow, relaxed stroll. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and haven't lived a single day without one! I’m equally experienced with both cats and dogs, ranging from energetic puppies and kittens to gentle seniors. I treat every pet in my care like part of my own family, so you can count on them being thoroughly spoiled and loved the entire time! My schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to easily drop in, walk, and spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I care for regular weekly pet clients Monday through Friday while keeping my weekends open, which gives me plenty of freedom to seamlessly weave your pet’s specific routine right into my day. I’m more than happy to offer constant care if your pet needs 24/7 supervision! Because this requires dedicated round-the-clock attention, higher rates do apply. Whether your pets prefer staying in their own comfortable environment or joining me at my house—where we have a great unfenced yard for leashed exploration—they’ll be in wonderful hands! I handle every part of their daily routine—including feeding, exercise, medication, and lots of individual affection. As a responsible pet owner, all of my own pets are fully up to date on vaccinations, wellness visits, and monthly preventatives. I always respect your home, follow your specific care instructions, and ensure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away.

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.

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 comfortable brushing, cuddling, playing fetch, and feeding/watering your pet. Just let me know of any special requests and I can accommodate your pets needs! I’m looking forward to spending time with your animal. I love to be outside, provide snuggles, work on commands, and give treats. Your pet will have a great time in your absence and feel loved and appreciated. I don’t mind picking up dog poop as my biggest dog is 55 lbs and comes with a lot of up keep :) I have two cats as well and am comfortable with all felines! I am willing to accommodate needs beyond the 15 mile range for an additional fee of 58 cents per mile! Please contact me if you have questions about services, booking, or pricing! I am home most weekends as well as holidays. I want to be flexible so you are stress free! I make my own work schedule and will try to accommodate your needs. I have fur babies to keep your pet comfortable and entertained. I have a fenced in yard for exercise and love to go for walks. I have a variety of toys and treats to meet your pet’s needs!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’m attentive, patient, and very tuned in to dogs’ individual needs and personalities. I love giving dogs plenty of time outside with walks, hikes, and safe play, along with calm companionship and structure. I’m experienced with basic obedience and fun training, including sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, heel, and more. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, providing mental stimulation, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I meet them where they are and treat them like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize dog care throughout the day. As a photographer, I can plan my shoots around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I don’t have many long, all-day commitments this year. This means I’m available for consistent walks, extended visits, and quality one-on-one time. I love being active and would genuinely enjoy filling my schedule with caring for dogs and keeping them happy, exercised, and well attended to. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and experienced with leash handling and basic training cues. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve owned dogs for years, fostered dogs, and have experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, boundaries, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable with large and strong breeds, as well as dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I also have experience working on basic obedience, leash manners, commands, and positive, reward-based training. I believe dogs thrive with a combination of consistency, exercise, enrichment, affection, and clear expectations. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own and make sure owners receive plenty of communication and updates while they’re away. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for dogs is already a big part of my life. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, enrichment, and plenty of attention and affection. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet individualized care rather than simply fitting them in between other commitments. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to adjust my routine to match what your pet is accustomed to at home so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Here’s a warm, professional answer you can use for your Rover profile: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific rules or training they’re working on. I know consistency is important for dogs, especially when their family is away. Safety is always my priority. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, energy level, and individual needs. I use positive, reward-based reinforcement and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. 🐾

“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.”

“This was Coconut's first stay with Amanda, and I think she really bonded with her. Amanda was flexible with times, and she has her own dogs that Coconut loved to play with! Since Coconut is used to sleeping in bed with me, Amanda let her sleep in her bed to make sure she was comfortable. She also sent pictures which I loved. I would highly recommend Amanda!”

“I have two small dogs. One of them is super sweet and everybody’s favorite. The other is standoffish and identifies as Houdini. They both did very well staying for almost a week at Katrina‘s house. When they came back home they were calm, with no signs of anxiety. I have had to use dog sitters three times this year already. This was the first time with Katrina. They did much better with her. She seems to genuinely enjoy having them stay with her.”

“We have been using Rover for many years for our miniature golden doodle who is now 12 years old. We recently had to find a new sitter when our previous sitter was no longer available. I have to say we were lucky to find Josh. He took our Charley in for a week stay and treated her just like his own. She felt very at ease with him and felt right at home. She seemed to enjoy her stay there and I would highly recommend Josh. He did an outstanding job. Thank you Josh.”

“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”

“I can't recommend Olivia enough! We were in town for a graduation and our Airbnb didn't allow pets. I needed to secure a boarding place for my little maltipoo ASAP. Olivia accommodated my schedule and need so well. I appreciated her taking my last minute request and keeping me updated with pictures/videos. My furbaby had a great time and my mind was at ease. You can count on Olivia!”

About: I have had high-energy dogs my entire life, however I appreciate dogs of all kinds. I can't wait to meet your dog and give them a home away from home while you're away. I work from home so I have plenty of time to help care for your dog. I also have a 1 year old female vizsla who is the sweetest girl and loves to play with other dogs. She will love to have the company. I reside in an apartment and will be happy to watch your dog while you're away. I work from home which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your dog.

About: Dog sitting is more than potty breaks and bowls of kibble, it's loving an animal like they're your own, and I'm the best at what I do! I've had dogs all my life, and in addition to personal pet care I've worked in the pet business from the very beginning of my career. I've got a background in the veterinary world as well as a tour through the doggy boarding, daycare, and even training! I've done all the training and certifications to make me the very best in the industry! I understand the needs and behaviors of different dogs and can provide appropriate care based on their age, breed, and individual personality. I've got you covered down the very last detail! Your furry friend needs medication? I'm certified to administer everything from pills to insulin shots! Specialty diet? I'm minding every detail! Working with me is giving your dog a best friend who cares about them, from the tip of their nose to the top of their tail! I'm a stay at home wife, so I'm available all day every day to give your animal all the attention in the world! When you book with me you get the best of the best! If I'm in your home I'm a well mannered guest, I make the bed, do the dishes, and take out the trash. I leave it how you left it, my goal is for you to question if I was even there! When in my own home your animals have the run of our home during the day and a comfortable bed at night! I have two well socialized, well trained, pups who love to play but know when to settle and relax. We do kennel our dogs for their own comfort as they get restless when alone, but I offer a kennel free boarding experience!

“Ali & James were so great with our puppy! He got to interact with their 2 dogs all the time so it was like a vacation for my dog too. They promptly sent photos and videos, room our dog for walks and also had a small pool session with other dogs as well. All in all my dog had a blast. Would definitely return to them next time!”
