I'm moving to Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area in August I have a summer job that starts at 10:30 am Tuesdays-Fridays though I am able to take a break during the afternoon to visit your furry friend! I'll return in the evening and be there to spend time for the entire night and until midmorning the following day! My weekends I'll be openly available and I don't have to be at work until 2pm on Mondays! I can take pets for walks, let them outside, I am able to crate if needed, and have a history of giving medications. Let me know what you need, and I will make sure your dog is loved and cared for!

I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!

About: I love taking care of any dog, I am very flexible with any type of dog! lazy? energetic? no worries i can do it all! I was around dogs pretty much my whole life. Whether it was a dog of my own or a friend/family members, i always loved taking care of dogs. Dogs are truly someone’s best friend and i know if i wanted a sitter for my dog I would want someone who loves dogs, cares and nurtures for any dog whether it’s yours or not. If you’re looking for someone like that? get ahold of me. Dog walking is my specialty but I can also be a trustworthy person your dog can trust as well as the owner. Pet care for me anytime for dog sitting/walking i can do weekdays after 3pm. Weekends I am fully available. Overnights I can check by 5am Always stay calm and let them get comfortable with me before over stepping any boundaries. But i love to run around and play with dogs!
About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.
“Camryn’s experience, professionalism and quick responses brought me ease and comfort while away. I came home to a happy, healthy and cared-for kitty. I feel fortunate to have been able to have my cat and home in camryn’s care, and I am confident you will too. Best Jared”
“Brittany was wonderful with Dixie, making sure she was using the litter box! She'd check for poops and pees, because Dixie's on medication for both issues. She would contact me regularly with texts and pictures! I could see Dixie playing with the laser red dot and other toys! When I arrived home, it was clear that Dixie had been well taken care of! Brittany is a professional! I would recommend Brittany! And I'd hire her again! Thank you, Lynne”
About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I work a 1st shift full time job currently. My routine and been built to accommodate my own pets needs, enrichement. It has been pretty easy to include other kids into this routine successfully. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.
“Carol was such a great help to us and so good with our kitties! I loved the updates and pictures! Made being away so much easier knowing they were well taken care of! We will definitely use Carol again! A+!!!”
About: I’ve been watching friends and family pets for about 15 years now. Enjoy playing with dogs and cats alike. Experience from 1 year old puppies to 10+ year old dogs. I am available most weekends along with Fridays and Mondays. I’m always running errands in the community and can provide drop in services at this time. :) I have a puppy that is 3 years old and loves making new friends. We would provide services in your home multiple times a day
About: I'm friendly energetic and I can't wait to take care of your little buddy!! My family and myself have had dogs as part of our family my entire life. I'm usually the go to friend to watch my friends dogs whenever they are away or taking a vacation. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to do something I love. I work a full- time job during the week but I am home every night and available most weekends. As long as I have at least 1 days notice I should always be available ☺️ I have a large fenced in yard and 1 small very friendly fur baby of my own. Your dog will be free to roam my home, cuddle on my furniture and experience all the love and companionship I give to my own dog. I have plenty of space for any size dog crate so if your dog is crate trained I can accommodate their stay that way too.
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched! (Pun intended) Your preferences and concerns will always be the forefront of discussions on how I will care for your beloved fur baby. I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up showing horses and cattle. I currently have Scottish highland cows, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients. I love animals more than people most days. :) Being around any kind of animal is my happy place. When in college, I worked for Apple Creek Kennel in Marion, IA. I’m very approachable and easy to talk to. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I will work with you if price or schedule doesn’t line up. I work from home MOST days. If I’m not home, I’m usually not too far away. I make my own schedule so I’m able to be somewhat flexible. I’m a crop insurance adjuster full time and usually the busiest times of the year for me are around planting (May-June) and harvest (Sept-Dec). Please be mindful about how far apart we live. If we do live 20+ miles apart and you need me to care for your pet 4 times a day, that’s a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of driving time and gas for that day, on top of my full time job. I do my best not to over-commit myself and I am very upfront and honest about my schedule for the time frames requested. My full time job takes priority but I will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet(s) if my schedule allows. 🥰 I have a 5ft fenced yard. I will care for your animals specifically as I’m told and will do what is safest and most secure for your animal.
About: I have had pets my entire life but started taking care of my own two cats my second year of college and have had my own dogs as well for the last 10 years! I have always had cats and large dogs, but small dogs are also loved. I work full time, from home, so my work schedule is very flexible throughout the day to let your little loves out for a potty break or start/end their day with a walk! I will be happy to come to your home and let your little fur babies out to stretch their legs and empty those bladders. I also offer dog walking for an additional cost!

Jennifer T.
“Hello, my name is Eufraisa Tecuapetla. My sister Jennifer has helped me over the last three years in taking care of my boy Chapo. Chapo is a Rottweiler mixed with Lab and he can be a handful. But Jennifer has done a great job in keeping me stress free by making sure he is well fed, well groomed, safe and loved. She is a very generous and life saver, there was a couple of times where I had to come him extremely late from work but she kept Chapo in her home safe until I could be with him. Another time would be when my dog had a terrible ear infection and she took the time to take him to the vet and made sure he could get better. I would highly recommend her with taking care of your little fur baby! Thanks!”
