Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tama

“Kaylee and Nick were wonderful. We were passing through town and needed someone to watch our dogs for a couple of hours. Those couple of hours were stress free thanks to Kaylee and Nick. My dogs were happy and well cared for. They were easy to communicate with when needed I would highly recommend them.”

“Butterscotch enjoyed his stay with Chrissy and her family. He built a great friendship with her pet. He came back home exhausted. Chrissy was so kind and patient with Butter. We were very impressed and relieved to have found a trustworthy pet sitter that would attend to his needs. He was treated like a king. We highly recommend Chrissy. Thank you and we appreciate you!”

“Christina took great care of my Archie while I was out of town for the weekend. Her prices are a great deal and she took care of my puppy like he was her own. I hate leaving my baby, but Christina sent lots of pictures and always responded quickly when I reached out. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have had a pets my entire life, mostly dogs and cats. I currently have 2 labs and 1 golden doodle who roam the yard with our farm animals; chickens and ducks. They are kennel trained and wouldn’t be around customer pets. I have 3 kids who love learning and helping out with chores. They are in extra curricular activities but I would ensure a schedule with you before the time of watching your fur baby. My husband is home most nights and weekends (besides hunting seasons) and he works construction during the day. I am home most nights and weekends besides when I have drill with the Iowa National guard, I work full time with the guard. Our dogs currently have an underground fence but because we have one mischievous lab (Mayble) who likes to convince the other two to go on adventures, we kennel her and our youngest (Bailey, golden doodle) during working hours. Our eldest (Max) is pretty lazy and wonders our yard freely during the day and night without his collar.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had many pets over the years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, degus, sugar gliders, hamsters, gerbils, mice, parrots, fish and many reptiles. Please don’t hesitate to message me about caring for any pocket pets/exotics! I started working at doggy daycares/boarding facilities when I was a teenager. I now work in veterinary medicine, currently at an emergency clinic, and pet sit on the side! I’m new to Rover but not new to pet sitting and am happy to provide additional references if desired. I had an injury recently and am on medical leave, so I’m currently available just about anytime for your pet’s needs! I’m available to stop by your house several times a day to feed, walk, and play with your pets as needed. I can also stay at your house full time. I’m happy to drive your pets to any grooming/veterinary appointments as well. For pocket pets/exotics, I can either do drop in visits, house sitting, or board them at my house if preferred (they will be kept away from my dogs, cats and other pets at all times) - if boarding, you can provide a cage/enclosure, or I have several spare ones of various sizes/styles I can set up if you let me know ahead of time. I work as an overnight tech at an emergency vet clinic and have access to veterinary care 24/7 should it ever be needed.

About: I have a wide varied experiences with all types of animals. From livestock to grooming and everything in between! I have experience with some exotics as well! I’m available for drop ins throughout the day or overnights. I have the flexibility to accommodate most requests. Can work around many different schedules you may have. I have a fenced in yard. I have a sweet, trained Doberman female. I also have a cat and a few exotic lizards in enclosures.

About: i’ve taken care of cats pretty much ever since i was little, i’ve always had a cat in my life! cause who wouldn’t;) i will love and care for your cats just like i do my own!

“Chrissy did such a great job with our small pack of beagles. She came to our house everyday to make sure they were well taken of. I can’t thank her enough!”

Sean N.

“Sasha watches our pets anytime we are away. Not only is she exceptionally patient and caring when things go awry or plans get scrambled, our animals love her. Sasha follows our directions perfectly and always sends updates to help ease any of our worries!”

Your pets' needs are provided for at all times whether they are here for a day, week or month as they are included in our family activities. Pets are kept separated or allowed to play together depending on their needs. I provide crates, mats, kennels and even my bed for peaceful sleeping.

As a dedicated cat parent myself, I promise to treat your cat with the same love and respect I give my own.

“Ali took great care of my 3 cats in Age 14 to 10 months. They have different needs but she made sure they were well fed and less stressed while I was out for vacation. I highly recommend her care.”

About: I’ve had cats ever since I was growing up, and I’ve always had a deep love and connection with all pets, but cats specifically. Every cat has a special and unique personality and I love that about them! I have experience caring for cats of all different personalities and am happy to provide and care for your cat the way that’s most like home to them. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, and giving you peace of mind while away.

About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!

About: I love the energy of animals - particularly the playfulness, affection, and intelligence of dogs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens and have cared for bunnies, sheep, and fish. Chickens, like dogs, stand out because of their unique personalities and the funny hierarchy in a hen house. I’d be happy to offer care to a wide variety of animals as I’m comfortable around all I’ve encountered, but dogs hold a special home in my heart. I’m self-employed and have been running my own online business for nearly 12 years now and I’m very flexible and open to your schedule. I am well-versed in the importance of timely, thorough, and thoughtful responses and attention to detail. I’ll be sure to respond to requests and messages as quickly as possible, and to stay in communication with my customers for the duration of my stay with your pup! When I’m not enjoying the company of animals, you can usually find me writing or cooking. I also love nature walks and any change to watch the sunset. Because I do travel, I can’t have a dog of my own right now, but I’d love to “get my fix” by caring for your furry friend! I can’t wait to meet you! I love starting and ending the day with a walk, and a dog is the perfect companion! My schedule is flexible so I'm more than happy to take their lead and listen to their needs. At this time, I can't host dogs in my home, but I would be delighted to house sit and care for your home and animals while you are away!

“Second time booking with Christina was a blast! She was very attentive to our puppy and sent a lot of updates through out the week.”

Carlos M.

“We had a great experience with Chrissy! She was very communicative from the beginning through the end of my dog’s visit. I felt comfortable leaving her and received lots of pictures and videos during her stay.”

Melissa D. C.

“Amazing people! So good to our pups. Lots of room for them, good scratches and belly rubs. 5 stars would book again!”

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”
