“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”
“Cathleen was great at communicating and great with the dogs. She’s a natural with them and her dog Thor is a big ol’ sweetheart. My dogs took to Cathleen’s backyard so quickly. It was a great space. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Ashley was great, upfront communication and alignment with the environment they had, which helped ensure a good fit. Her two dogs and the space made Thad feel right at home and welcome! Definitely going to keep at the top of this list for the future.”
“Our dog had a blast! got lots of photos. Sherry and Mike were very easy to work with and maintained communication/flexabilty. Would absolute send Finn here again!”
“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.”
“Taylor was absolutely incredible with my little kittie boy Blue! I was scared to board him as he's only 6 months old but Taylor took great care and showed deep compassion for him. He came home excited and almost refreshed. I highly recommend Taylor if you're looking to board your cat or any other animal. Her passion and love for animals is very evident. Taylor will be the first one I call next time! Thank you so much Taylor! 5 Stars aren't enough!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“My dog had his ‘best vacation’ staying here! I don’t travel often where I need to find him a place to stay—this was the best choice!! He has stayed at the vet before and hated being in a small kennel, he has been to a kennel a couple times, and while taken good care of there—he was separated from being inside a house with a family—what he is used to and what dogs want!!! He is getting older, has medicine he takes and just wants a little love when we were out of town. He quickly made friends with both of their dogs!! Every day I was gone, I received updates throughout the day including pictures showing his fun! I would recommend 100%!! :)”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“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!”
“Erica was wonderful. She had us meet her to go over details before the actual stay. She was very thorough and wanted to know all about my dog’s typical day. Her goal was for him to be as comfortable as possible. Her backyard is fenced and her home is neat and tidy. It was a very warm and cozy environment for my dog to settle into while he was there. She sent me some pictures of him and checked in with me so I knew everything was going well. I felt 100% confident that he was well taken care of!”
“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.”

“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!”
About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.
“Carson was so responsive and helpful checking in my cats on Christmas eve last minute. She did everything they needed to be comfortable, and clean. Then spent a little more time with them. I really appreciate her help!”
About: I’ve cared for my own two cats, Jolene and Soup for over five years and have been around friends’ and family’s cats for more than eight. Over the years, I’ve learned how to meet each cat’s unique personality and needs with patience and understanding. I have experience with nail trimming, brushing, enrichment and playtime, and administering medication when needed. I also take care of litter box maintenance and keeping cat areas clean and comfortable. One of my own cats is on the shy side, so I’m very comfortable working with skittish or nervous cats and giving them the gentle patience they need to feel safe. I’m confident in reading feline body language and building trust over time. I’m open to caring for cats of all ages and temperaments (though I have a bit less hands-on experience with very young kittens under 4 months). My goal is to make every cat feel secure, cared for, and loved!
“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”
About: I have had a cat ever since I was a toddler. I have always loved cats. I have owned 10 cats in my lifetime. One of those 10 cats I actually fostered until I could find her a home, her name was cloud but found her forever home and is now named JoJo. I lost three cats, one from cancer, one from old age, and one got hit by a car. May they rest in peace. Callie, who was sick, was my little princess. Smore's, who was old, was my baby, I got him when I was 11, on my 11th birthday. He was and always will be the best cat I have ever had. Pepper, was my cat when I was little, though, he didn't like me very much, he unfortunately got hit by a car when I was a little older. I had to give 2 cats away, unfortunately, due to having too many cats, and I was in a very abusive relationship at the time. I do miss Truffles; he was a sweetheart. He would snuggle up on my shoulder like a parrot. Mya was actually my ex's cat. They both got amazing forever homes. I also had Mia, who is now my mom's cat. I have litter boxes all around the house and clean them daily. and deep clean once a month. I know how to administer medications and shots for cats. I have also bathed cats as well. I have plenty of toys for cats. I have fresh cold water for the cats. I have always loved animals since I was a child. I always wanted to be a dolphin trainer and a zookeeper when I was little. That is still a dream of mine, but life has thrown me some curveballs, that has changed my goals/steps in life at this moment. I first worked at my first animal clinic job in 2010-2011, my first job ever, when I was a junior in high school. It was one of the best jobs I have ever had. I decided that working at a animal clinic would be the best job for me until I could work at a zoo. My favorite subject in school was science and animal studies. I went to college and got my associate's in science, and got a bachelor's in zoology and general studies, with a minor in psychology and half minor in scuba diving. I then worked at my second animal hospital in 2022-2023. I loved that job so much because I got to work and do so many things with dogs and cats, as well as many other types of pets. I have cleaned kennels and runs. I have cleaned litter boxes. I have fed and gave water to dogs and cats. I have given medication to dogs and cats. I have given shots to cats. I have bathed dogs and cats. I have taken dogs out on walks. I have taken dogs out to potty. I have done fecal matter samples. I have cleaned up fecal matter outside in the yard as well as cleaned messes including fecal matter, urine and vomit.
About: I’ve taken care of pets from craziness to laziness, big or small, I love em all! I’m excellent at rounding them up for baths, playing with them, going on walks or to dog parks to make friends, and most importantly, keeping them safe! If your pal needs a smile, I’m your gal! I’m currently working part time so I will be available 6am-3pm, Monday - Friday to welcome you and your pal into a fun, safe, and caring environment! If you need to leave me a list of do’s and dont’s pertaining to you and your pals needs, I am adamant on adapting to understand their boundaries, reading their emotions, and finding what they will/wont enjoy. Everything I can do, I will do to keep your pet safe, happy, and healthy so you never have to feel worried!
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”
“We really appreciated Emily's keeping us posted on how our dog Maggie was adjusting to a new environment. Emily and family were very loving and caring toward our dog Maggie.”

About: I’ve had 3 dogs in my life so I know how to feed them, walk and play with them. I also have had a cat, bird, and multiple hamsters. I am currently unemployed and babysit occasionally. My schedule is free to pet sit whenever needed. I love playing with animals and they like me. I care for pets including my own by handling them with care and love.

About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)

“Darcie really helped us out, accepting our last-minute booking for our Giant Schnauzer puppy, Iris, without hesitation! Iris undoubtedly had a great time, with access to lots of sunshine and outside play in the large fenced-in yard - just what she needs. We will definitely reach out to Darcie in the future!”
“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!”
About: I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I donate a bag of treats each stay from my dog’s social media sponsor. We take a walk every single day. I am a teacher so I am out of the house from 7:45am - 4:00 pm Monday-Friday. I have some flexibility to leave early if need be. During lunch break, I use my Furbo camera to talk to my dog and launch a treat for him. I usually take my dog for a walk as soon as I get home from work. Weekends, I am typically home most the day. I have a ranch style single-family home that has a doggy door to a full turf and fully fenced back yard. I have the sweetest Golden Retriever that loves having other doggos come over. Warning: your pet will get lots of love and may not want to leave.
About: I have watched all dogs from puppy to old senior sweethearts, my heart belongs to all animals. My boy loves friends and always ready for a visitor!

About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they always feel secure in my care. Whether i’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and happy at all times. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, tidy, and just the way you left them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and cared for like family.
About: Neighborhood pet sitter in Bettendorf, IA. Experience with dogs and cats, young and old, and varying breeds. Able to give medication & other accommodations Also experienced cat owner / sitter. Have worked with some fish and other small animals. I work full time 8-4:30 with an hour lunch break. Happy to stop by during that time as well as before and after work. Weekend availability varies, but I’m relatively open. I usually stay in-home, but I have had dogs stay with me. I will let the owners tell me the dog’s routine, and I adjust accordingly. Dogs with higher energy have different needs than elderly dogs, so I try to be sensitive to that. Potty breaks and walks are usually slated into my plan of care, but always open to hear special requests.
About: *NOW OFFERING DISCOUNTED RATES!* *I am currently on hiatus from house sitting! I will offer that service again soon!* After a brief break due to adjusting to a new city, I’m back to doing what I love: caring for your furry family members! With 50+ 5-star reviews and years of experience, I’m here to offer dependable, loving care again. I've had pets of my own my entire life and have cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors for years! I love being around animals and have 3 babies of my own. I'll love your best friend as much as I love my own! I am reliable, punctual, and energetic and always willing to do what I can to help out! I have an anxious, aggressive, and arthritic Chihuahua of my own, so I have experience with more "neurotic" pets as well as experience with medication. One of my cats is 13 years old, so I also have experience with senior care (as well as cat medication, too!). I also have experience with guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, and reptiles! I just moved to the Galesburg area and am currently unemployed, so have wide availability to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I can typically spend overnight and the majority of the day there! *Note: I am currently on hiatus from house sitting services! I currently do not offer house sitting/boarding in my own home, as my 3 pets aren't comfortable with new animals in their environment. Eventually, I hope to be able to set up a system where I can provide that service! I do have a playpen and door fences that I use for my own dog, so could potentially provide temporary boarding if the circumstance is right! When I come into a home for sitting, I am always acknowledging that I am not only in another person's space but the pet's space as well. I do everything I can to be respectful and aware of boundaries. Following routines to keep the pet comfortable is essential in building the bond!
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.

“Cathleen was great at communicating and great with the dogs. She’s a natural with them and her dog Thor is a big ol’ sweetheart. My dogs took to Cathleen’s backyard so quickly. It was a great space. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Ashley was great, upfront communication and alignment with the environment they had, which helped ensure a good fit. Her two dogs and the space made Thad feel right at home and welcome! Definitely going to keep at the top of this list for the future.”
“Our dog had a blast! got lots of photos. Sherry and Mike were very easy to work with and maintained communication/flexabilty. Would absolute send Finn here again!”
“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.”
“Taylor was absolutely incredible with my little kittie boy Blue! I was scared to board him as he's only 6 months old but Taylor took great care and showed deep compassion for him. He came home excited and almost refreshed. I highly recommend Taylor if you're looking to board your cat or any other animal. Her passion and love for animals is very evident. Taylor will be the first one I call next time! Thank you so much Taylor! 5 Stars aren't enough!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“My dog had his ‘best vacation’ staying here! I don’t travel often where I need to find him a place to stay—this was the best choice!! He has stayed at the vet before and hated being in a small kennel, he has been to a kennel a couple times, and while taken good care of there—he was separated from being inside a house with a family—what he is used to and what dogs want!!! He is getting older, has medicine he takes and just wants a little love when we were out of town. He quickly made friends with both of their dogs!! Every day I was gone, I received updates throughout the day including pictures showing his fun! I would recommend 100%!! :)”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“Erica was wonderful. She had us meet her to go over details before the actual stay. She was very thorough and wanted to know all about my dog’s typical day. Her goal was for him to be as comfortable as possible. Her backyard is fenced and her home is neat and tidy. It was a very warm and cozy environment for my dog to settle into while he was there. She sent me some pictures of him and checked in with me so I knew everything was going well. I felt 100% confident that he was well taken care of!”
“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.”
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”
“Dillon took amazing care of my boy! His home is clean, pet-friendly, and a great spot for doggy stay-overs. Monte felt comfortable right away exploring every part of his house and meeting Shadow, which put me at ease. I got updates with photos, and it was clear Monte was having a great time and was well cared for. When I picked him up, he was all smiles and full of good energy. Dillon followed Monte’s complex feeding schedule and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. (and ear rubs) He truly treats every dog like his own. I highly recommend Dillon if you're looking for a great place for your fur baby to stay! I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
