“This was the second time that Mark has watched our somewhat stubborn, scared pup and he did an incredible job again. He clearly cares for all the pets he watches, they interact well, and he even gave our dog a costumed photo shoot. 100% would recommend Mark”
“Geta enjoys visiting Darcy, Charlie and the family, she gets so excited when we get close to arriving at Darcys home...I feel very comfortable leaving my girl while take vacations or go to work..thank you always”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Katie and her family have been a true blessing for us and our pup, Stormy. The way they shower her with affection and take care of her needs is truly remarkable, making us feel grateful and relieved that she's in good hands. It's no wonder that we affectionately refer to them as Stormy's second family, as she has grown to love them as her own. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
“Great family who you can tell from the start love their dogs and love any dog that comes into their house. Both of their dogs are well behaved and allow your dog time to get used to being in new environment. They have a large fenced back yard that I know my toy Aussie just loved playing ball in. Already booked our next stay!”
“We went on vacation and was carefree my fur baby was well taken care of and in good hands. The pictures I got while gone were beautiful shots. Sarah looks very comfortable with the kids. I’m sure she had a great time!”
“Heather loves dogs. It shows! Our dog Teddy stayed with her and she kept us posted on how he was going and sent pictures too. I don’t know of a kennel that does that!”
“Corinna did a terrific job with caring for Rizzo and keeping us aware of how he was doing with text and pictures. We would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to others.”
“Jake was great with Dexter. He responded quickly and maintained great communication. He was also very flexible with my hours of availability. Dexter enjoyed his time with Jake and seemed very happy. I would definitely bring him back.”
“I highly recommend Juliet as a dog sitter. We spent time together prior to my trip. She is kind and truly loves dogs. I appreciate that she sent me photos every day. I will definitely use Juliet as a sitter again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Vector, while we were on vacation! She did such an amazing job, she sent us lots of photos and updates so we always knew how he was doing, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that she gave him so much love and attention while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”
“One of the best hosts I have ever had the chance of working with Not only did she adjust the timings for us but also kept us upto date with daisy. Definitely will rebook her”
About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.

“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”

About: I have had a cat in my life since I can remember. My first true friend was my male cat Boxey. He slept next to me every night from day one. He lived 14 yrs and he was the best!! All my cats have always been a stray or a rescue and everyone of them have been a blessing. I remember going to my grandparents farm and I always had most of the barn cats following me around, even the feral ones. I have a special gift getting a cat comfortable with me, or pretty much any animal. I understand each has their own boundaries and we need to build a strong trust with them.
“Excellent communication and Kimberly did a great job with all of my requested items. Thank you for making my vacation less stressful! I will definitely use Kimberly again!”
“Leah does a really great job taking care of my cat while I’m out of town. She makes sure her litter is clean before I get home, makes sure her bowl is cleaning before every feeding and I get all the cute pics of her during her visit. Definitely recommend!”
“Chris is an amazing sitter! This was my first time using Rover and he put me right at ease. He took such good care of my kitty and sent me pictures all throughout the stay. He also left my place in great condition and was very flexible with timing. I highly recommend him!”

About: Ever since I was young, I would take care of animals. I’ve wanted to have a career working with animals for as long as I can remember. Every animal should be cared for with love and affection, from a mastiff to a guppy. They don’t get as much time on this Earth as we do, so we better make it as great as we can for them. I’ll love your animals like they’re my own, and make sure that they feel happy and content while you’re away. Animals, not just doggos, are a joy to have in my life and to care for. Thanks for taking the time to read! If you have any questions, you’re welcome to message me! ❤️ I appreciate you and wish you a great day!
About: I do love pets! I have owned dogs, cats, horses, and a koi pond, aquariums, birds, even lizards and a pet squirrel! My farm background has included cattle and hogs too. My current fur babies are two cats. I do miss having dogs. I've had dogs for 40 years until recently. Now I just love on other peoples dogs! I am also an accomplished gardener and can help with your plant/ garden care while away. I have been to dog obedience, classes, and can help reinforce your pets training. I don't see a place to mark it on this website but I am fine with taking care of your pet bird, pond, aquariums, including exotic fish, horses, cattle and pet pigs. Let me know your preferences on keeping you updated on your pets while away. If I'm feeding your pet, I prefer a meet and greet so you are comfortable and insist on written or texted instructions on your pet's schedule in advance so it's less stressful for your pets. If they are going outside I will want to check out their fenced yard in daylight and go over any concerns for the 5 star sitter experience I offer. Right now I'm offering to walk your pet, in home visits, but I'm not offering to spend the night, or have them here at my house. I work short days 2 days a week in medical care in Sterling, and can help you before, after or lunch breaks. The other 5 days my schedule is open to travel further and to other towns I walk 3-5 miles everyday and enjoy being outside. I'm dialing down my professional work in medicine from full time to parttime to enjoy life a bit more. That is why I am new here at Rover. I can now do more things, and that includes loving more fur babies. I have a rescue cat named Tessa, she's 15 and the most snuggly cat on the planet. We sleep together. She is tiny, but the vets says she's in excellent health with fabulous teeth and labs. My huge cat Rupert is 7 and he was born on a farm, and is hard to photograph here as he covers my whole lap and then some. He has a loud purr and loves to sit a certain way on my lap. My pond is currently healthy and some of the fish are 6 inches long. I had a 3 pound koi who I trained to swim through a hoop. I loved her. Is it possible to love a fish? I did. We have a few horses renting the pasture this year. We used to own and raise gaited horses. I love horses. I think they are good at reading people, and elegant.

“Sam and Sarah are seriously the GREATEST people on the planet! I think my dog Zeus would prefer to be at their house than at his own home with me! :) Not only do Sam and Sarah take great care of Zeus while I'm at work, but they go above and beyond to make sure he gets exercise, plays with other dogs, and gets time to relax inside without being in a kennel or crate!

“Genna and her family are wonderful! We were traveling from out of state, and had the opportunity to meet up with some old friends for dinner. We contacted Genna and she opened her home to our senior golden doodle. I was impressed that before saying yes, Genna asked some questions to make sure her home was a good fit. She sent pictures that reassured us that he was doing fine. She has a nice house and a larged fenced yard to insure the safety of your pet. I would absolutely recommend Genna for your pet sitting needs!”
“Lance took in my pup last minute and she absolutely loved her time with him! I know this because when I went to pick up, she followed him when he went to grab her stuff. Great piece of mind for me leaving her as we explored the Quad Cities! He walked at the park and chilled with her on his deck. I know this because I received pictures and updates. Thank you Lance!”
“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”

It’s hard some times when life takes us away from home & our doggies for longer than we’d like. Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!

“This was the second time that Mark has watched our somewhat stubborn, scared pup and he did an incredible job again. He clearly cares for all the pets he watches, they interact well, and he even gave our dog a costumed photo shoot. 100% would recommend Mark”
“Geta enjoys visiting Darcy, Charlie and the family, she gets so excited when we get close to arriving at Darcys home...I feel very comfortable leaving my girl while take vacations or go to work..thank you always”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“Katie and her family have been a true blessing for us and our pup, Stormy. The way they shower her with affection and take care of her needs is truly remarkable, making us feel grateful and relieved that she's in good hands. It's no wonder that we affectionately refer to them as Stormy's second family, as she has grown to love them as her own. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
“We went on vacation and was carefree my fur baby was well taken care of and in good hands. The pictures I got while gone were beautiful shots. Sarah looks very comfortable with the kids. I’m sure she had a great time!”
“Heather loves dogs. It shows! Our dog Teddy stayed with her and she kept us posted on how he was going and sent pictures too. I don’t know of a kennel that does that!”
“Jake was great with Dexter. He responded quickly and maintained great communication. He was also very flexible with my hours of availability. Dexter enjoyed his time with Jake and seemed very happy. I would definitely bring him back.”
“I highly recommend Juliet as a dog sitter. We spent time together prior to my trip. She is kind and truly loves dogs. I appreciate that she sent me photos every day. I will definitely use Juliet as a sitter again.”
“One of the best hosts I have ever had the chance of working with Not only did she adjust the timings for us but also kept us upto date with daisy. Definitely will rebook her”
About: i’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since i was 13. i have been volunteering with my mom since i was a little girl. it’s my passion to make animals feel happy, i have a dog of my own. i know how to give medicine to animals as one of my babies has oral meds he takes everyday and he’s a bearded dragon 😉 a lot more difficult than a dog taking meds let me tell ya. i currently work part time at 2 jobs, i am able to fit in taking care of animals as one of my jobs is a traveling job back and forth to my clients houses. my other job is a part time waitress on wednesday and friday nights. i am available to give attention to your animal at all times. i am able to walk them and feed them at the required time you do.
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second time she has watched my French Bulldog, and I couldn't be happier. This time she cared for him for almost 10 days, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated, made sure he was well cared for, and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️”
