Belle and Bowie got along so well. Bowie can be skittish but was totally relaxed when I got home. Matt C.

María was fantastic! I needed someone last minute and she was incredibly flexible to come stay at my home and watch some guinea pigs, a cat and a very senior dog. It’s never easy to leave your furry ones and I was able to enjoy my time knowing they were in safe, capable and loving hands. She kept me updated the whole time and even sent a few pictures! We will definitely be a repeat for Maria!

As she grew up she has loved several guinea pigs and took care of them. Our parents also entrust her to look after their two cats whenthey go on vacation.

Melanie was able to take my pup with short notice and he loved her and Kharma! She was great at keeping me updated during and after his time with her and he was always happy and exhausted when he got home.

I’ve known Vianna for close to 16 years and she has always enjoyed the company of animals. Recently, she started working with me at Ames Pet Resort where she has excelled. She does a thorough job to make sure all of the animals in our care are happy and healthy. She has two cats of her own which are spoiled and loved beyond belief. She would do a great job taking care of your furry friends and I highly recommend her.

About: I have grown up with and owned animals my entire life. I am a first year veterinary student at Iowa State University, and received my Bachelor's in Animal Science from Iowa State. I have taken care of friends, family, and neighbors pets over the past 10 years. I have also worked at multiple veterinary clinics, as well as at a doggy daycare. My schedule is fairly flexible, there are a couple weekends that I will be busy. Please reach out, I am happy to accommodate wherever I can. I have a large fenced in backyard, and have a 3.5 year old Australian Shepherd named King. I live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks to take dogs on safe walks. I will follow all instructions and provide attention, exercise, and play time while you are away.

1st. Using Rover and we were so blessed for being able to meet Emma. She made it so easy to interact and communicate thru the app. The fur babies just loved her. Emma truly has a gift for the ability to communicate with our babies. Not only was this the 1st time to use Rover / Emma. It was the first time in years we have taken time away from home without a family member staying behind to take care of the pets. I have had Bully bread dogs for over 40 years. Multiple at a time. (currently we have Stella (BullMastiff/American Bulldog mix), Jake (BullMastiff / Cane Corso), Charlie (American Pitbull), Teddy (Yorkie), and Bambi (French Bulldog puppy), oh and nots forget Olie the cat. When you have this mix of personalities, moods , jealousy it takes a special person to walk into that dynamic for the first time and pull it off. Emma thank you very much you did great. Until next time ?

Wrigley is the BEST! He stays with our dogs when we leave for the weekend and they LOVE HIM! Wrigley is responsible, always on time, leaves our house looking just as we left, and is wonderful with our pups. We have 2 mini dachshunds that can be unsure of people at first but they love Wrigley. We have specific feeding instructions because they are food aggressive and he follows them perfectly. If you need an awesome dog sitter, this is your guy!

Ellie was phenomenal! We are new to Rover and were worried about leaving our dogs with a new person, but she was very communicative and sent lots of updates which put our minds at ease. The dogs seemed to enjoy her and her energy. We would definitely recommend Ellie and work with her again!
