“Desiree is the best! Your doggies are in good hands, let all your puppy sitting worries melt away, she is a second Mommy to my furbabies.”
“Abigail was wonderful with Jake! They took to each other right away. Abigail checked in twice a day with pictures and descriptions. She heroically checked on Jake twice on a day when we had hailstorm and a tornado touchdown only a mile away. Abigail is the GOAT!”
“Samantha has such a sweet and caring energy that our finicky pup took to her right away. She was conscientious, taking notes to get everything right. Samantha was so gracious about the little extras like pulling the blinds and leaving lights on. I highly recommend Samantha!”

We have a great dane and a Weimaraner. Lots of Experience. Would definitely recommend”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was in middle school - from walking neighborhood dogs, to dog-sitting, to taking friend's dogs to the vet and administering insulin shots and oral medications. My pup is 11 years old and requires a bit of extra care - he uses an inhaler twice a day and has arthritis so I have plenty of experience dealing with senior dogs. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds! My schedule is very flexible. I recently left my job as a technical analyst after 10 years and am looking to make a career change. I am taking online nursing prerequisite classes so I'm very flexible with time! In my client's home, I will adhere to any instructions the client gives but I will also treat their fur baby like my own! I adore dogs (and cats) and am very gentle and patient with them.
“This was our second time booking with Katelyn and everything went great. We really appreciated getting updates on both our boys. We would definitely book Katelyn 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”
“Lily was a great sitter for my very hyper dog. I loved the picture and video updates and could tell she really spent time and gave Ivy lots of attention. I will absolutely book again and definitely recommend her:)”
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: I have a miniature bernedoodle that is my baby. I love all dogs and I have no met a dog that I do not get along with. I make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before any interaction. I am a very upbeat and bubbly person who enjoys walks and exercise! I am an early bird so I do not mind getting anywhere early. During the week, I am at the gym early in the am and then take my dog to my parents to play with their dog a few times a week. I talk my walk just about everyday of the week and it’s a great thing to do for both of us and we both enjoy it. In the evenings, I try to talk her for another walk if I can when the weather is nice. Most evenings, I am home and playing with my own dog. I plan on offering potty breaks and dog walking. I really make sure that the pets are taken care of and have all they need. For my own dog, when she stays at home by herself a couple times a week, I make sure she has toys and a radio on so it’s not dead silence. As soon as I get home, I take her out and play with her outside and get her to run out her wiggles.
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 used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.
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 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.
“Allison is wonderful. She is very thorough and our cat was in good hands with her.”
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’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!
