“Nicole and family took such great care of our dog, we are so thankful for the comfortable and caring home they gave to our dog while we were away! He got walks and lots of love and we couldn’t have hoped for more!”


“If there was a way to give Karen a 10 star review I would. Immediately, she made me feel 100% comfortable with my furbaby staying with her for the week. She's very responsive and extremely flexible. You can tell the moment you have any interaction with her that she loves watching dogs and cares for them the way a daycare provider would your child. She sent pictures and updates without requesting them and assured me if I missed my girl all I had to do was text or call. Karen is nothing short of amazing...my dog has been my lifeline this last year...and I would not trust her with just anyone. Nova loved her summer camp with Karen with her big play area, lots of toys and pool! I can't wait to use her services over and over again!? Thanks Karen for being everything I was looking for and much much more!”

“We were thrilled to see that Taylor was available to watch Kenny over the Fourth of July holiday. She makes things extremely easy (ha, yes, for both humans and pups). There is no doubt that she'll always be our first pick in the Dubuque area!”

“Cassandra is awesome! She’s kind, responds quickly, sends pics, and genuinely seems to enjoy my dog! My dog feels right at home at her place with her dogs. We will use her as often as we can!”

“Sarah and her daughter were so kind and nice to work with! They took on Henry last minute so that I could make some travel plans, and were really patient with my late night pick-up. They were so kind and Henry had a great time. We would highly recommend sending your pup to spend some time with them!”


“Amazing sitter! I will definitely be using her again! Keep me informed and was very responsive when I was running late. My dog loved her and enjoyed being around her pups.”

“She is a really good host. Right from the start itself their dog and our dog connected as they both are of same breed. She was really caring and gave us intermittent updates as well with photos and text of how our dog was doing. Her whole family got connected to our dog really well and provided a homely feeling for our dog. Will definitely recommend them and will like to rover with them again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, having 6 since I’ve been a child. 2 Portuguese water dogs, 2 pitbulls, and 2 French bull dogs. I have been relied on by friends and family to watch and care for their dogs throughout the years I’m currently a Pre Dental student at Loras. My schedule is open for weekday afternoons and overnight of the week, I can be of service when you need someone to watch your pet overnight or just let them go potty in the middle of the day. In my home we use pee pads, take the dogs on walks, and have a fenced in backyard. We feed them 2-3 times a day, and give them lost of love. I understand how important it is to let the dogs outside while you are away and want to be an option for others like me.
“Jacqueline was amazing! From making me feel welcomed right from the first message to going above and beyond with communication, photos, updates and flexibity. 11/10 would recommend, if you care about your furry friend, with Jacqueline you can rest assured they are in safe hands :)”

About: Leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, but our goal is to make their stay feel like a fun, comfortable vacation rather than time away from home! We are lifelong animal lovers and have cared for pets of all kinds —from dogs and cats to fish, turtles, guinea pigs, and just about anything in between. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have continually trusted my wife and I to care for their beloved pets, and we truly enjoy having animals as part of our family. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pup gets plenty of personalized attention rather than being one of many dogs competing for care. Our four children, ages 8–13, are also huge animal lovers and are always excited to provide extra attention, affection, and playtime. With six people in our household, your dog will have plenty of companionship and will quickly feel like part of the family. We live on a 4-acre property that gives your dog plenty of space to enjoy new sights, sounds, and smells. For safety, exploring the property is done on leash, and the abundant wildlife in the area provides plenty of interesting things for curious noses to investigate! Your dog will be walked at least once in the morning and once in the evening, with bathroom breaks every 2–4 hours or as needed. During the week, my wife and I have the ability to work from home, allowing us to provide care and companionship throughout the day. We understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and we’ll do our best to maintain their normal schedule and make them feel comfortable during their stay. We do require dogs to be potty trained and have no history of aggression. We also ask that dogs be trained not to chew on household items or other non-toy objects. We completely understand that puppies are still learning, though, and we’re happy to work with them and provide the patience and supervision they need! Most importantly, we want you to feel confident and comfortable while your dog is in our care. We’re happy to learn about your dog’s personality, routines, favorite activities, and any special quirks that will help us give them the best possible stay. We look forward to meeting you and your pup and welcoming them into our home! When your dog stays with us, they won’t just be a guest—they’ll be part of our family No matter what our day looks like, there is always someone available to provide the attention and consistency of car for your dog(s), which is the number one priority. We also have a furnished basement that can be closed off if needed. Or a quiet capped garage and workshop room depending on the sleeping arrangements your dog is accustomed to. If you could please let me know of any special needs your dog may require or want.
“Remi loves going out on adventures with Ann and Greg! As a pet parent, I love getting the updates and pictures of him having fun! When life gets busy, I know I can trust Ann and Greg to care for our fur babies!”


About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.
“Meg was awesome Benny seemed to feel right at home. She made sure to send us lots of pictures which we love. 100% would recommend Meg for your fur babies thanks again.”

About: I am a very attentive and caring dog and cat lover! I have a huge yard and a spare bedroom for all dogs. As for cats, I have two of my own. The spare bedroom can be the cats sanctuary if they do not like other cats as it’s full of cat trees, toys, litter boxes and food and water. I work full time M-F so I would have an open schedule for your pet during the weekend! I have two loving cats who enjoy cats and dogs of all sizes! I have a huge yard for your pups, but it is not fenced in. I also have a spare bedroom for your dog or cat to take comfort in if being alone is their thing!

I will also keep your home clean and the same way you left it when you leave, so that you will come home to a fresh house after being away! I am retired and have flexibility to care for your pup or cat! I can come to your home for potty breaks, walks and play! Want me to hang out with your furry friend. I can do that too! I can also house sit and stay overnight if your pups are used to human connection! I understand wanting your animals to have all the comforts while you are away!

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.

About: I'm a Dubuque-based sitter and lifelong cat lover — I share my home with 3 cats, so I understand feline routines, boundaries, and body language. I have owned cats my whole life, and as a physician I'm comfortable with medication schedules and detailed routines. Your cats get patient, attentive care on their own terms, with photo update.

“Our dog Oliver had his first Rover experience two days ago. It couldn’t have been any better. Angy has a little 5 lb dog so the two dogs played and cuddled all day. Angy and her husband showed genuine concern for our dog’s well being. Oliver came home a very happy and tired dog. Finding Angy was a big blessing.”


“Karen was awesome with Bailey. Really the first time Bailey hasn't been with me but Bailey got really excited when we would pull in. When we would get home she would need a nap from playing with Karen and the other dogs, a great place will be taking Bailey back. Highly recommend!”

“Ann & Greg are very welcoming and are familiar with Ella's breed. Ella was relaxed after her walk and loves the outdoors so their property is perfect for her. She'll be going back to enjoy their dogs and property very soon. I would highly recommend Ann & Greg.”

I felt so much more comfortable leaving Odin knowing she would be there later to break up his day. I highly recommend her to others and will definitely be using her again!”

About: I'm a Dubuque-based house sitter and lifelong animal lover — I share my home with two cats, Oliver and Maisie and have a golden retriver named Mojo. As a healthcare worker, I'm comfortable with medication schedules, detailed routines, and staying calm in unexpected situations. Your pets get consistent care, plenty of attention, and photo updates, and your home stays clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I have a fully flexible schedule right now, so I'm available for overnight stays any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime — and I keep my calendar up to date so you always know when I'm free. When I'm staying in your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you leave it — meals, walks, litter, medications, and house rules. I keep doors and windows secured, stay reachable with photo updates, and leave your home clean and just as you left it. As a physician, I'm calm under pressure and comfortable handling medications or unexpected situations.

About: I’ve always considered myself an animal lover and I’ve had pets in my life since I was a kid. I grew up with 2 Shorkies and one Havanese. I took care of them for years and I also pet sat for friends, family and neighbors. I love all pets but I have most experience with smaller dogs. I’m currently working part time so I will have loads of time to hang out with your fur babies. I am available for walks and drop ins as needed. I don’t have any pets at the moment but that means that I can give my full attention to your pets instead. I also don’t have a yard currently but I have plenty of places to go on walks. Also I should mention that I am quite allergic to cats so I will not be able to pet sit your kitties but I totally can take care of your dogs.
“Literal lifesaver. Has provided so much comfort knowing my pup is taken care of and in good hands so I can give the appropriate level of focus my patients deserve. Truly would be most without Ashlyns help! 🙏🏻”

About: Hi! I’m Rehleigh, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Whether they love to play, snuggle on the couch, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow any routines, medications, or special instructions to help them feel right at home. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your furry friend plenty of love and attention. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I’m available for drop-in visits during evenings & weekends and don’t mind stopping by on my lunch break. On weekdays, your pet will get plenty of love and attention before work, after work, and throughout the evening. Weekends are all about playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Family and friends rely on me to watch their dogs overnight, feed and give them love.

I am prompt and on time with feedings, potty breaks, walks, and anything else they might need!

About: I own two high energy dogs, Josie and Stella, both raised from puppies, so I know how stressful puppy parenting can be. Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals is where I developed my love for caring for them, and it’s where I learned responsibility. We often head to the farm for extra playtime and walks, so your pup will have plenty of fun, exercise, and love no energy left behind! I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy, so I’ve cut back on my hours. I work most weekends 2-10:30. Then a few shifts throughout the week occasionally. Other than that, I’m pretty available around my work and school schedule, and I can’t wait to care for and love your animals! I have two friendly, high energy dogs who love to play! While we don’t have a fenced yard, we’re lucky to have country property with plenty of space to walk around the fields.

About: Although I’m new to offering dog sitting services professionally, I have regularly assisted friends and family with their pets, learning how important consistency, patience, and individualized care is. Being trusted in their homes and with their animals has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m currently working a part time job where I have Tuesday’s off entirely and some days I am only working half days on certain days of the week. I am flexible with my hours and can be available most Tuesday’s and Fridays and part time on Wednesdays. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care and responsibility I would expect of my own. I follow instructions carefully, maintain clear communication, and prioritize safety at all times.
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.
About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

“Jessica has been walking our dog for over a year. She is great with him and he gets so excited when she arrives. We have also had drop in visits that helped us out. Highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs ranging from small rat terriers up to my current German shepherd. I have a strong understanding of the needs required as well as de-escalation and stimulation! I am a full time night shift nurse, making it easy for me to stop by before and after my shift and during the day as needed! My weekly shifts vary but I am quite flexible. I do not offer in home services since I currently have a German Shepard and two cats. They love each other but it would get a little crowded!

Her whole family got connected to our dog really well and provided a homely feeling for our dog. Will definitely recommend them and will like to rover with them again.”

“Jacqueline was amazing! From making me feel welcomed right from the first message to going above and beyond with communication, photos, updates and flexibity. 11/10 would recommend, if you care about your furry friend, with Jacqueline you can rest assured they are in safe hands :)”

“Remi loves going out on adventures with Ann and Greg! As a pet parent, I love getting the updates and pictures of him having fun! When life gets busy, I know I can trust Ann and Greg to care for our fur babies!”

“Meg was awesome Benny seemed to feel right at home. She made sure to send us lots of pictures which we love. 100% would recommend Meg for your fur babies thanks again.”

About: I am a very attentive and caring dog and cat lover! I have a huge yard and a spare bedroom for all dogs. As for cats, I have two of my own. The spare bedroom can be the cats sanctuary if they do not like other cats as it’s full of cat trees, toys, litter boxes and food and water. I work full time M-F so I would have an open schedule for your pet during the weekend! I have two loving cats who enjoy cats and dogs of all sizes! I have a huge yard for your pups, but it is not fenced in. I also have a spare bedroom for your dog or cat to take comfort in if being alone is their thing!
About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! Training them, walking, feeding, bathing, and playing are all part of the package! I am almost available all the time. The only days I would unfortunately not be able to see your pets would be on Sunday's and sometime Saturday's for personal days. I am very patient and try to listen to what your pets tell me, but not TOO much! I will always try and make sure your pet has the best time and will be safe 😊
About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child. Your pets will be treated with the same love and affection that I would treat my own! My goal is to keep your pet happy and stress-free! I am responsible, compassionate, and focused on creating a positive experience for everyone! If I stay in your home, I will do my very best to keep your pet on schedule while you are away! I will also keep your home clean and the same way you left it when you leave, so that you will come home to a fresh house after being away! I am retired and have flexibility to care for your pup or cat! I can come to your home for potty breaks, walks and play! Want me to hang out with your furry friend. I can do that too! I can also house sit and stay overnight if your pups are used to human connection! I understand wanting your animals to have all the comforts while you are away! I have owned dogs my whole life and understand how they are family to you! I adore all ages and breeds of dogs. Need help with meds and special care. I have patience for that as well! I can come to your home and we can work out a schedule that works for all! You tell me what you want that will put your mind at ease while you are away! I am retired and my schedule is flexible! If you choose to drop your pup at my home… I have two sweet Golden Retrievers. They both get along easily with all! If your pup is not their cup of tea… they will mind their own business! House training? I can help with that too! I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs can burn their energy in! If you want to keep your dog separated from mine, I have the ability to do that too!

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.
