“Erin is obviously good with pussycats! Willow and Wisp did really well. We arrived home to find our kitties happy. They did miss us as their dad works from home but Erin made it so that they were happy, fed and given lots of attention!”
“Samantha was amazing! She watched our cat and turtle for almost a week while we were away and sent images and updates every visit. We will definitely be re-booking her the next time we need a sitter :)”
“Thank you for taking such good care of the pups for us! We very much appreciated the communication and the photos. You put our mind at ease while we were away! Looking forward to working with you again!”
“Paige was amazing and I am so glad I booked with her. I had some flight complications due to weather and Paige was able to extend care and be flexible to check in on my little guy. I had daily photo updates and could see that he was very happy and cared for while I was away. Very appreciative of Paige and absolutely recommend her to others looking for reliable pet care.”
“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Brandy was amazing in taking care of my two cats while having to deal with a family emergency and vacation. Definitely will want to book again and highly recommend, thanks for everything”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight. When I turned 16 i started rescuing animals and getting them the vetting they needed. In total I rescued 27 dogs and puppies and rehomed them successful. I had to stop due to lack of funds but this is a prefect way to help dogs again! After all they truly are better than people. im free all week every week! as of currently i am not working so i figured walking dogs would be a great pass of time ! My family has 5 dogs and 2 cats. We do not have a fenced in yard so we do daily walks 3 times a day if not more and take them to the dog parks twice a week.
About: While I am new to Rover-I am not new to taking care of pets. I’ve been in your position. I have been blessed to have had an amazing cat and the sweetest dog for 12+ years. Peace of mind that your pet is cared for, when you are away, is invaluable. I’m here when you need me. I am semi retired. I will be happy to walk, play with, and care for your pet. I can also help out with daily things while you are away such as bringing in mail, taking out garbage, watering plants etc. in the past I have been helpful in cases of power outages (food spoilage) and water heater leakage mishaps. Once established, I would consider longer stays for pets who require more companionship. Respect and Responsibility are of utmost importance to me. I value the meet and greet process and look forward to providing the best service while you are away.
About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.
About: I have been around all types of pets for most of my life! I do have quite a bit of experience house training puppies and adult dogs Basic commands. I also have experience taking care of our pets when they get old and gray and need the extra little bit of help around the house. My availability is just about as open as it gets, my current job is only 4 to 8 days per month so 90% of the time I’m a stay at home dad! Willing to be as active or lazy as your pet wants! Though I do not have a fenced or large yard, the back of the property is right up against the practice ball field in Waterloo, so we will have plenty of space to run around and play in a safe environment.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and animals for over a decade of my life so far. I care so much about pets safety, almost more than my own at some points. I’d love the opportunity to meet you pet and build the trust between them and make sure you know they’re in great hands. I have 3 dogs of my own so everyday I feed, play with, and make sure they get let out throughout the day whenever I’m home. I currently am enrolled in college, so sometimes it is difficult to find a schedule that works well; but I am very flexible in fitting drop-ins in and am willing to compromise! I very much care for my pets. I actually have a dog who’s still in his puppy stage so he requires constant monitoring and everything. If you trust me to take care of your dog/pets, I’d send you multiple pictures every-time I stop by or drop in to care for them to let you know everything is well. I’ll send proof of them being fed, let out, and laying down all before I head out.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have had a few of my own and was relied on by neighbors, family, and friends to take care of their dogs while they were away! I am currently a college student, and also work part time. I am off work for a couple months, so I have plenty of time to feed, let out, and play with your animals! I do not have other animals come to my house because I have one older dog of my own, and my house does not have a ton of room for more animals.
About: I have owned, been surrounded by, or been trusted to watch dogs for most of my life. Currently only own a cat so hoping to enjoy dogs on here until I get a dog! I currently work night shift and so I am available afternoons and weekends. I’m very flexible and would love to get to know your pet soon! I try to take advantage of walks and use them as an opportunity to burn off some energy so the pup gets a nice nap after. I will do what it takes to make sure the tail is wagging next time I walk in the door.
About: I’ve worked closely with dogs for 3 years consecutively now, as well as dog-sitting for friends & family! I have experience with dogs all ages from puppy to senior! I am dog CPR & First Aid certified, to ensure I can provide the best care for your furry friend! I currently have a part time job at a local pet store/grooming salon, and attend SWIC as a full time student. My evenings are usually the time I spend with animals! Whatever you need, I can do! I take pet parent instructions very seriously to ensure your furbaby is cared for as if they are my own! Anything to make the animal most comfortable is my goal!
About: I grew up in the country taking care of animals. I own my own dog and cat. I have over 15 years experience caring for animals. I have open availability. I am available for walks and drop ins at anytime and am available for overnight sitting. I am an early riser and am up around 4 am every day. I believe routine is vital to your pet’s life. I will also follow your instructions completely and work with your needs. I believe pets our part of the family and treat them as such.

“Kyra has been pet sitting my two dogs for about 3 years. My dogs consist of a 13 year old Westie and 3 year old poodle. When I first adopted my poodle, Kyra kept him for 7 days at her home. She sent me photos daily and with my permission walked him in a parade! They love her and I knew she reciprocates! Over the past 3 years Kyra has helped out so much with our dogs. She is a very responsible and responsive person. If you need someone to care for your pet, she is someone that you can trust!”
