“It was awesome knowing Reesie was in good hands all weekend. Shannon was communicative and flexible with our schedule. His house is perfect for dogs. Reesie came back happy and we will definitely be using Shannon again when the time comes. 😊”
“This is the first time this pup was left with a sitter and we felt very secure leaving her. We have used Morgan and her family before with our other pup and knew she would be taken care of and pictures were sent daily, along with communication on how she was doing.”
“Our two girls had a great time with Jenny! Looking forward to our next daycare day and stay. Jenny does a great job of meeting our dogs’ needs and caring them! She sends updates and pictures to show what they are up to!”
“Great place for Javy to go stay! They took excellent care of him and sent pictures daily. He especially enjoyed the open areas to fun and fetch his balls! Hung out with the residence dogs and cats 😎 if you are looking for a great place to board your dog I would highly recommend Shaun and Katie! We will be rebooking!”
“Needless to say I was very apprehensive leaving Mya for the first time ever with a stranger. However, Rachel calmed my fears and did an excellent job caring for Mya. She sent numerous pictures and texts which assured me that Mya was happy and well cared for. Thanks Rachel! We will be back!!”
“Chelsey took great care of Annie and provided great exercise opportunities for her. She also sent updates and pictures while Annie stayed with her. I would recommend Chelsey to others and wouldn’t hesitate to have Annie stay there again!”
“Deirdre was absolutely amazing. She sent many pictures and updates. After meeting her I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving my Fur baby with her. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“We had the best experience with Angie! Although we were 1st time users of Rover, from the moment we met Angie, we knew our beloved Thunder would be in the best hands possible for his very 1st overnight stay away from home. Angie kept us updated with periodic pics & videos throughout his stay with her, which was such an awesome touch. I hope our next Rover sitter will be able to live up to Angie's standards because she's set the bar very high!!”
“Bethany was so good to our aussie!! She kept us updated with photos and several messages!! Our pup looked so happy in every photo. Would 100% recommend booking with Bethany & I will be using her again!! 😊”
“Tyler did a fantastic job! Jason had a blast supervising workouts and taking naps on couches. Tyler even helped Jason stay calm during a stormy evening. I will definitely use Tyler again.”
About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I have three rescue cats and one rescue puppy. I will do everything I can to make sure your pets feel safe and cared for Generally I am available more in the afternoon for afternoons, as I work most mornings. However I may be able to be flexible if needed I will always respect your homes and pets spaces, as it is not my own. While making sure that your pet is always safe in my care.
“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”
About: I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently. We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.
“Adriana definitely eased our minds while we were away on vacation! Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!”
About: My family has always had a dog around since I was a little girl! So I’m comfortable giving all dogs, whether the breed, the best care! I’m a cat and dog lover who would love to help you with all your cat and dog needs whether it’s daycare, walking or boarding! I’m mostly free in evenings and then Especially on weekends! I have 2 dogs who love to play with other dogs so your fur baby will have company! Also have almost 2 mo old and a 2 year old who loves all dogs so no dog will go without any pets or lovings!
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets of all kinds my entire life, as well as worked at a boarding facility for 4 years that took in dogs and cats (as well as the occasional rodent, pig or reptile) I’ll treat your pet of any kind like my own! i’m currently working part time from monday to friday and will have most availability on weekends, but i do have a a very flexible work schedule and can try to make it work! I prefer caring at a clients home due to the fact that i have cats of my own that are uncomfortable with unfamiliar pets. i’ll provide care to your specifications to ensure your pet is as comfortable and loved as possible!

“Shelby is the perfect mix of friendly and attentive. My kitties were cared for while I was gone and they were happy when I got home. She sent so many pictures and videos which helped me feel so good about being so far away from my furbabies!! House was clean when I got home to a lovely thank you card and little gift. Shelby is awesome. So glad her schedule was open!! <3”
About: I’m a current student at UNI pursuing Veterinary Medicine. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats my entire life and cared for someone else’s for three years in addition to babysitting. I currently have my own friendly Great Pyrenees and Cat and love spending time around furry friends I’m currently working part time and I am out of school very early in the day allowing me to spend my afternoons and nights (and some mornings) caring for your furry friends I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Great Pyrenees and kitty who love interacting with new friends and if need be I have a way of separating my own from yours with our house set up
About: I have pet/house sat for friends and family for over four years. Those animals have included anywhere from a Shih Tzu to a great Dane! I am good with doing household tasks as well. I love spending time with animals and I’m hoping to get the opportunity to meet yours! I have full open availability as I have just graduated from college and looking for a job! I’m hoping for at least 40 hours per week! If not totally okay:) A lot of my clients have me go to their homes and I love to walk the animals around town safely on the side walk or take them to the park!
“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”
“I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!”
About: Hey there – my name is Katie, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I love having the opportunity through Rover. I have congestive heart failure so most places won't let me work for them because of my heart pump cord hanging out. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sumner
“Shelby was an awesome dog sitter for our pup, Piper! We found ourselves in a pinch and needed someone to watch her all day - turns out she’s right in our neighborhood! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone else - Shelby and her husband were great at drop off and then sent pics and videos throughout the day. I know Piper had a fun day and was in good hands. We will definitely be using Shelby again in the future!”
“We were blessed to have found Morgan and family to take care of our dog, Charlie. They were so friendly and welcoming! Communication throughout was excellent. She even included some fun photos. The professionalism was impeccable! We highly recommend using Morgan!”
About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in! My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!
“Jenny and Remy were great hosts! We were a bit nervous for our first day, and appreciated Jenny providing some updates throughout the day. Looking forward to future stays!”
“Angie watched both our dogs on short notice when we were in town for a funeral. Much better than trying to manage them in the car, and we are so appreciative! Highly communicative, and highly recommend Angie for any dog sitting needs.”

About: With over a decade of dedicated pet care experience, I've honed my skills as a compassionate caregiver. My journey began with my best friend, Franklin, a thirteen-year-old dog whose loyalty has taught me the true meaning of responsibility and empathy. From late-night walks to soothing belly rubs, I've embraced every moment, cherishing the bond we share. Ultimately, our animals aren't just pets; they're family. We treat them like family, spoil them like family, and love them like family. You can rely on me to go above and beyond for your furry friends! Rest assured, I am committed to providing your animals with the exceptional care they deserve, mirroring the love and attention I give my best friend. As a teacher, I cherish my breaks and am eager to fill them with something I'm genuinely passionate about, ensuring our pets live their happiest lives possible! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. This includes regular feeding schedules, ample exercise tailored to their needs, and plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, I am able to maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure their specific preferences and requirements are met.
“Baylee is wonderful. I trust her completely with my elderly dog. She's very knowledgeable about the proper way to introduce dogs to each other and it's obvious she cares deeply about animals”
About: Since I was young, I have always been around pets of all sizes. My parents had dogs of all types and sizes which range from a large German Shepherd/Siberian husky mix all the way down to a cute little Cockapoo. We love on all of our animals and treat them just as family, they are our entire world! Throughout the time, I got my fair share of walking the dogs daily, feeding them morning and night (unless they were a puppy that required more) and just being able to love on them all the time! I have raised all 4 dogs alongside my family so I am aware of what to do in circumstances! Walking dogs is a great time for both me and your dog because they get exercise and I get to relax with nature and a pup! Caring for dogs and seeing their tails wag when their owner or loved one comes in the door is one of the sweetest things to see! I'm currently a student at UNI and have a part time job in Waterloo. Having the flexibility in my own schedule allows me to pay more attention and care towards your furry friend! I have a fenced in yard that is big enough for even large dogs to burn off tremendous energy as well as an open floor plan. This allows for the dogs to not feel cramped up and have enough space to lay and play indoors as well.

About: I am happy to help you and your family in anyway I can! I keep my rates low so your pet can get quality individualized care at a reasonable cost. My husband and I adopted a black lab mix from the humane society. We are training her to be a therapy dog. Growing up I had a variety of small breed dogs. We also have a cat adopted from Cedar Bend. We recently moved into our first house and have a fenced in yard. We also live close to paw park. I can stop in and check on your furry friend, give them a bathroom break, play with them, feed them, and do any other cares you request. We can board dogs or cats on the weekend if they are potty trained and get along well with our cat and dog. I work from home so I am free for daycare. Looking forward to working with you soon! I have a fenced in yard. We have a black lab mix and a cat to keep your pet company. We enjoy all the extra cuddles and play time when we host a pet. I am currently working from home and am able to take care of pets during the week and on the weekends. We are flexible with pick up/drop off. We let our dog go outside to the bathroom and/or to play in our fenced in yard every 4 hours minimally. She is welcome on the furniture. If we are on a walk she’s always on the leash.
“Highly recommend Jan, she was professional and greeted Mabel with affection!! She did have a couple other dogs during Mabels stay, and she was cautious as she introduced them to each other. We could tell Mabel enjoyed here stay as she had to go give Jan hugs before we left. We will definetly use jan again!”

“I could not speak more highly of Shelby! I was traveling for my job and need a dog walker during lunch for my pup. Shelby took care of Archie like he was her own! I got so many photos and Archie was always in a good mood in the evenings!”

About: I recently graduated with my Masters in social work and am practicing as a mental health therapist with a flexible schedule. I have had a few cats growing up and still have 2 dogs back home. I currently have 3 cats and are my fur babies! I have not only played and taken care of them most of my life, but also have helped train service dogs at Retrieving Freedom as a part of one of my college classes. Giving them food, baths, and bringing them on long walks, or to a park to play are all things that I have experience with due to being a pet owner myself. I have the ability to work from home some days as I am working to build a client case load, and usually am in the office no more than 4-6hours at a time. Watching and caring for pets would fit well into my schedule as I have most early mornings, some afternoons and later in the evenings free. I am just starting my career as a therapist and love caring for animals in my free time. Pet sitting works well with my schedule as I create my own schedule every week around when I have clients. I make sure I obtain as much information from the owner beforehand and do meet and greets to ensure safety for when I care for their pets.

“Tee-Tee was amazing with Aspen and Ziggy. Ziggy is a large rescue with big feelings sometimes. I know others have had unfortunate experiences with sitters or walkers, but Tee-Tee is exceptional and will be brought back whenever our schedules align.”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals! I own a red lab named Koe. Him and I are very active and he loves going on walks just as much as me. I promise you your loved fur baby(ies) are in the best hands. I will treat them as if they are my own! I always do a meet and greet prior. I am used to small to large dogs, any breed, any age! Would love to care for your animal! I usually work days Tuesday thru Friday but that can do check ins after work. I’m very accommodating, please feel free to ask! I can come before and after work. I have a fence and 2 very playful dogs who will love your puppy. We are very active and go on lots of walks daily.
About: Been doing this for 7 years now and absolutely love it. I take in all sizes and breeds of dogs and have recently fenced in my backyard. Your pets will get the best 1 on 1 care at my house. I work full time during the week. The dogs will have free run of my upstairs or if you prefer they be in a kennel I can accommodate that too I recently fenced in my backyard. Huge play area for the dogs to run and play . I will provide the best 1 on 1 care for them
