“We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and believe in positive reinforcement and respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. I’m also comfortable administering medications and adapting my care for pets with special needs or specific routines. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care that helps every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home.🐾 I currently work from home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and lots of company. Your baby won’t be left alone for long periods and can easily become part of my daily routine. I share my home with Sky, my friendly dog, and Gigi, my cat, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I have a cedar garden where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air using a secure tether while supervised, and I live close to beautiful nature trails that are perfect for daily walks and exploring. I also have a separate, quiet space for pets who need a break, feel anxious, or simply prefer some alone time. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and use patience and positive reinforcement to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.

“It's not often you run across someone who is as amazing as Elizabeth who took care of my dogs on the 4th of July! I could tell by the pictures she sent me the dogs were as happy as they could be. When I dropped them off I could immediately tell she was going to be perfect for Izzy and Bodie. I consider my dogs family and want the best for them. Elizabeth IS one of the best I've ever seen. I would use her again anytime.”

About: I am an avid animal lover who worked as a vet tech for five years. My spouse and teenage girls are also animal lovers! We LOVE to have animal visitors! We have small dogs of our own who enjoy making new pet friends. I am a full-time nurse with very flexible hours and my spouse is home all summer! My teenagers are also available to help with our guests. We have a fenced in yard, and love to take our dogs for walks. Our dogs are very friendly with other cats and dogs. We have a special needs dog, so we are very comfortable with giving medications and other special needs.

“Susan was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I never used Rovee before so I was really cautious and overall pretty scared but Susan assured me she'd take great care of Char while I was traveling. I received pictures and videos daily of char as well as text updates. In the videos alone I could tell my dog was not only happy but he felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Susan!”

About: I’ve owned cats my whole life, but have had four of my own pretty much since moving out. They are my babies, and I always make sure my oldest gets to drink from the tub when he wants to and a pillow stays by the window for my second oldest to sun bathe.

About: As a future veterinarian, many of my friends have relied on me to care for their cats. Ive done everything from feeding, changing the litter, and even nail clipping. I'm comfortable caring for anxious cats that like to hide away and active cats that like to play and vocalize. I can't wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I bring years of experience as a veterinary tech and positive-reinforcement, force-free trainer. I have cared for dogs through every life stage, from neonates puppies to seniors, always prioritizing safety, enrichment, and emotional well-being in a calm, dog-savvy home. In addition to a fenced area, we have 10 acres for walks and individual play time. My work schedule varies throughout the year, but we always have someone at home to care for our personal pets in addition to any other pets staying with us. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work one-on-one with owners to ensure I can provide individualized care to help every dog feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I provide careful supervision and secure routines ensure the safest environment possible.

About: If you’re looking for a calm, safe place where your dog can relax, play, and get plenty of exercise, you’re in the right spot. I provide dog boarding in a quiet country setting with lots of open space for dogs to run and burn energy. Many dogs feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities, so my goal is to give them a low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will get: • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • Constant supervision and attention • A safe, peaceful environment away from crowded kennels I’ve been around dogs for years and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I take the time to make sure they feel secure, get the activity they need, and settle in like they’re at home. Whether your dog loves to run, explore, or just relax, they’ll have the space and attention they need while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Caring for dogs fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m located in a quiet rural area, dogs staying with me have plenty of space to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors throughout the day. My day typically includes multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure every dog is comfortable and getting the attention they need. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, activity, and rest, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Since I’m around throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I also make sure to send updates and photos so owners can see how their dog is doing while they’re away. Providing a calm, structured environment with lots of outdoor time is a normal part of my day, and I enjoy making sure every dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun stay. When dogs stay with me, I focus on giving them a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and exercise. I live in a quiet rural area, which allows dogs to enjoy lots of outdoor time and space to run, explore, and burn energy throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine that includes regular outdoor breaks, playtime, feeding on their normal schedule, and time to rest so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Every dog is supervised closely to make sure they are safe and adjusting well during their stay. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust care to match their needs—whether that means more playtime, relaxed downtime, or extra attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for.

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care. I am comfortable caring for pets with special diets and administration of oral medicine. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I have flexibility in caring for pets of varying activity levels. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school on weekdays, but I'm available for walks during the lunch hours from 11am - 1pm. I'm also available after 5pm Monday - Friday and have full availability on weekends. Your pet's comfort is my number one concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore or older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has a vestibular issue, so I'm experienced lifting pets to help them up and down stairs and getting into cars. I'm also experienced giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nails, and bathing.
