“Jason is amazing! He is quick to respond and genuinely loves what he does. He took great care of my boy Duke! We will definitely be coming back to Jason in the future! He’s awesome!!”
3. Ashley D.
“Ashley and her family were absolutely wonderful! My normally anxious dog was excited to return each day to see Ashley and spend the day with her. Ashley sent regular picture updates, communicated thoroughly, and was flexible with pick up/drop off hours. My dog loved having children and their cat to interact with, backyard time, and Ashley’s company on the couch while she worked from home. My dog came home in a great mood each day, no anxiety at all like with daycare facilities. We will absolutely book with Ashley again!!”
4. Daniel F.
“Dan has been a great friend of mine, but also a fantastic sitter for Peppy. He’s thorough on taking care of him during his stay and accommodate his needs. Dan is also a pet owner currently and does so well. He is very responsible and takes time to give pets attention and cares for them appropriately. They would be in amazing hands with him.”
5. Kasey B.
“Kasey was an absolute blessing to us! Our daughter was admitted to Iowa City Hospital and we were traveling with our 2 fur babies. We had no idea how we would be able to visit her, but Kasey made it possible! Her location to the hospital is absolutely perfect! Her love of animals is extremely evident when you visit her lovely home! Knowing she will be able to care for our dogs for future hospital visits with our daughter gives us such peace of mind! You will not be disappointed if you choose Her!”

About: After a long hiatus, I’m back in the dog pool! I am known for being attentive to my clients’ and animals’ need.I have taken care of cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. In addition, if you have certain pets that are not in cats or dogs category I will be more than glad to accommodate. I am a person who is reliable and punctual with scheduled sittings. I will communicate and update through emails and texts regarding your pets, feeding, potty breaks, and etc. I have had good experience with small and large sized dogs. What makes me break apart from other dog and cat sitters is giving playful attention they want! Their happiness is my priority. I ensure your pets will get plenty of attention! I am available evenings and weekends. I have a full time job from 8am to 4:30pm. I can do drop-in, walking, and I can house-sit during weeknights, weekends and holidays. I do not offer house boarding. I can do drop-ins and overnight stays. My drop-in routines in taking care of your pets are following your expectations in feeding time, playtime and following medical administration instructions, and reporting to you with cute pictures!
7. Trish C.
“I'm in the unique position of dreading leaving my pup (Enzo) but also traveling for work quite a bit.. Timberwolf Doggy Camp is the only place I'll ever take Enzo if I have to travel. Not only are his needs met, but far exceeded, he gets daily walks (pending weather of course!), gets free roam in the back yard or in the house, gets plenty of time playing ball, and even gets brushed! To be honest, I'm not sure who is more upset, me when I have to leave Enzo, or Trish when I'm back to pick him up!”
8. Gina F.
About: I will love your fur babies like my own. I grew up on a farm, have my own pets, and my daughter is a dog groomer. They will be in good hands. If they are staying with me, Mon-Fri, I am able to walk them every 4-5 hours during the day, and every two hours in the evenings. On weekends, I’m available all day and night. I have two small, friendly dogs who I walk on leash several times a day. My dogs (& two cats) LOVE all the pets we’ve had visit our home…well the cats just watch us disapprovingly, but the dogs love them anyway! 😂
9. Auden B.
“Auden was so great!!! She communicated multiple times a day and was very accommodating when I messed up my booking. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!!!!!”
10. Ashley R.
“Great communication, easy going, sent update photos and her dog is very friendly. Would send Paco to her again anytime.”
11. Travis V.
“Wow. Travis was great! I was just in town from Chicago to see a play and reached out with maybe 30 minutes notice. I immediately felt comfortable with how calm and good natured he was with Kensley. This was her first rover experience! And mine. And was so happy with Travis who also sent cute pictures of Kensley hanging out with his dog and one other who is a regular visitor in his home. Highly recommend!!! If I’m ever back in iowa city/coralville and Kensley needs a sitter, Travis will be my first choice.”
12. Jeanette R.
“Jeanette is absolutely wonderful with our old lady boxer. She expresses genuine concern for her well being and happiness. Can't wait to use her services again. Jeanette is very caring about the house too when we had her stay. Felt completely safe to have her stay in our household.”
13. Marissa M.
“Marissa is a superb pet owner and will treat your dog like her own! She is active and will make sure your pup is not bored while you are away. And your pet will get to hang out with the sweetest dog ever, Theo, who is the best dog I think I may have ever met (my own dogs included lol).”
14. Reagan W.
“A real animal lover and great with all pets. She will take the time to connect with you pet and make them feel loved while you're away.”
15. Sidney R.
“She was so attentive and sweet to my pup. She sent me regular updates and pictures which was really reassuring to me that he was doing well. Absolutely recommend!”
16. Abigail Y.
“Abby is great with my pets! My senior dog, Diesel, has a tendency to cry and howl while I'm gone, but she treats it as if it's music to her ears. My cat Frankie can be a little menace sometimes trying to open cupboards, etc. However, Abby finds this as a great time to play with him.”
17. Marina G.
“Marina is a loving, caring and affectionate person. She loves animals and is a responsible pet owner herself. She is very hands on with her dog Peanut and as a result he is very well behaved. I know she would be a great person to care for pets when their "parents" are gone. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to leave my pets with someone else. I would entrust Marina with my babies without any hesitation. Marina is also very active and likes to be outside so taking the dogs or cats for walks would be enjoyable for all. I would highly recommend Marina as a pet sitter!”
18. Samantha W.
“Samantha is a great choice to take care of your pets. She has helped take care of my dog and other pets for years. She truly cares about every animal, so she'll take great care of your dog! She's good at following instructions and making sure the dog has fun. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
19. Anna R.
“Anna has provided overnight care in her home for my 2 dogs and has done an excellent job. One of my dogs is skittish around new people and Anna is great with her. I feel safe leaving them in her care.”
