Emily and her family gave our fur babies lots of love during their stay at her home for a week. I would highly recommend Emily for pet sitting/boarding.”

“This was Maggie’s first time with Jill. She was boarded when she was 1 and had such a traumatic experience we weren’t sure we could leave her with a non-family member again… but she seemed to really enjoy Jill! She was happy to see me upon return, but was also so excited around Jill, I knew she was treated well and loved on. We received pictures and updates which put our minds at ease. Thank you, Jill, for loving on our girl. (We’ve already booked Jill for next time!)”

She has a sweet pup of her own that was great with my dogs. The cherry on top was her home and family were both so warm. It felt like leaving my dogs with a friend.”

About: I have over 30 years of experience with loving and caring for animals. What sets me apart is that I’m not trying to make your pet fit into my routine. I’m happy to work around theirs. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level, and I want them to feel safe and relaxed while they’re away from home. Your pet will be cared for in our home, with a large fenced-in yard, plenty of attention, and a family who genuinely loves animals. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, feeding instructions, medications, crating, or other care preferences you have for your pet. I think one of the biggest things I offer is peace of mind. I’ll treat your pet like a guest in our home, not just another booking. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I can accommodate your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and potty breaks. My goal is to make sure your pet receives consistent care and attention while you’re away. When your pets stay with me, they’re not just being boarded, they’re staying in our home and becoming part of the family while you’re away! I provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where your pets can stick to their normal routine and get plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your care instructions, schedule, and any special needs to make their stay as easy and familiar as possible. We have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside and enjoy some playtime and fresh air. I also have teenagers who absolutely love animals, so your pets will have plenty of extra attention and affection (if they’re interested in it, of course! 😂). I also have a gated kitchen area that can be used if you prefer your dog to be safely contained while we’re away. If your dog is crate-trained and you’d rather they be crated when we leave, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. Your pet’s comfort and your preferences come first. I know leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in a safe, loving home. I’ll treat your pets the same way I’d want someone to treat mine, with lots of love, patience, attention, and care. 🐶🐱❤️

“Marissa was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly caring. She checked in regularly and sent the sweetest photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she truly loved and cared for Kona, and that means everything to me. Even better, it was clear that Kona loved her right back. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m honestly just sad she doesn’t live closer because we would book her every single time without hesitation. I can’t recommend Marissa enough!”

We could see how much fun our pup was having and how much care and attention she was getting. We were afraid that she wouldn’t want to come home!

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.

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.

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs and cats. I grew up with two golden retrievers, and after they passed, my family naturally became the neighborhood pet sitters. I spent so much of my childhood around all kinds of pets that it honestly feels like I grew up right alongside them. When my family got another golden retriever puppy, I was the one who took on most of her training. Working with her taught me patience, consistency, and how to build real trust with a young dog. I’m comfortable with basic commands, routines, and helping puppies build good habits. Being around animals genuinely lifts my mood. I’m definitely that person who stops in the street to ask if I can pet someone’s dog. I also care for two cats regularly—one at my workplace and one that belongs to my roommate—so I’m very used to daily cat routines, feeding, cleaning, and giving them attention on their terms. Caring for animals just feels like second nature to me. I always make sure pets get the attention, affection, and exercise they need, and I really do treat every animal like they’re my own. I especially love being able to give dogs company during the day when they’d otherwise be alone. It means a lot to me to be that comforting, familiar person they look forward to seeing. I’m excited to meet new families and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved every time they’re with me. I’m looking to get out of my desk job and start dog walking full time. I love being outside and i am a total dog lover. I need the customers, so please let me be your dog’s new best friend! I am a very respectful person all around. I’ll easily respect your things and space. I will be tidy and leave how I came! I’m hoping when we meet in person, you can tell the kind of person I am. I’m quite an open book. Just a fun, bubbly, outdoorsy and dog lovin girl!

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!”

“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!”

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 :)

“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 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: I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, routines, and energy levels from energetic pups who love to play and explore to laid-back dogs and independent or cuddly cats who prefer a quieter environment. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can count on! Flexible schedule, willing and able to provide check ins, pickup/drop off. I am aware every animal lover has different needs, I can assure great communication and updates as needed. I personally love to go on hikes and long walks. Open large yard ideal for dogs who love to play ball and frisbee. Family friendly dogs are encouraged to stay. Our home does have small children and 2 friendly dogs.

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.

About: I have had dogs and loved them my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers and St Benards so the big ones definitely have my heart. I currently have two Border Collie X Australian Shepherd mixes that are incredibly friendly and smart. I started my pet professional career out in 2012 as a kennel technician at the Clinton Humane Society. I have worked for two different vet clinics as a vet technician giving medications, doing ivs, doing wound care, and being apart of surgery staff. I do some special handling dog training for anxious and semi aggressive dogs. My passion for special handling dogs started when I trained as a pet stylist. I got hands on experience helping stressed dogs relax and make situations better for them. I currently work in the Quad Cities as a pet stylist, working with both dogs and cats. I am very familiar and comfortable working with all kinds of animals be it furry, scaley or feathery. I do animal care for individual animals and also for hobby farms with chickens, ducks, goats, llamas and sheep. I am a very particular person when it comes to my own animals' care. Being very detailed oriented and handling your pets care is important to me. I think they deserve their care to be attentive and comfortable. Animals are not only something I am very passionate about but what I have revolved my life around. My days start around 5-5:30am. I typically take the dogs for a walk and have an hour to give them a bathroom break. I work as a pet stylist from 7-3:30. I can give bathroom breaks on my lunch break as needed. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I have a fenced in back/side yard where I monitor dogs so they can be off leash if they are able to be trusted. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid. I deep clean and sanitize everything frequently.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.

About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats doesn’t worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I’m currently trying to raise money for a trip to go meet some family I’ve never met. I’ve had this app for months and haven’t had a single client. Please help me reach my goal I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.

About: I have over 30 years of experience with loving and caring for animals. What sets me apart is that I’m not trying to make your pet fit into my routine. I’m happy to work around theirs. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level, and I want them to feel safe and relaxed while they’re away from home. Your pet will be cared for in our home, with a large fenced-in yard, plenty of attention, and a family who genuinely loves animals. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, feeding instructions, medications, crating, or other care preferences you have for your pet. I think one of the biggest things I offer is peace of mind. I’ll treat your pet like a guest in our home, not just another booking. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I can accommodate your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and potty breaks. My goal is to make sure your pet receives consistent care and attention while you’re away. When your pets stay with me, they’re not just being boarded, they’re staying in our home and becoming part of the family while you’re away! I provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where your pets can stick to their normal routine and get plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your care instructions, schedule, and any special needs to make their stay as easy and familiar as possible. We have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside and enjoy some playtime and fresh air. I also have teenagers who absolutely love animals, so your pets will have plenty of extra attention and affection (if they’re interested in it, of course! 😂). I also have a gated kitchen area that can be used if you prefer your dog to be safely contained while we’re away. If your dog is crate-trained and you’d rather they be crated when we leave, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. Your pet’s comfort and your preferences come first. I know leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in a safe, loving home. I’ll treat your pets the same way I’d want someone to treat mine, with lots of love, patience, attention, and care. 🐶🐱❤️
