House Sitting in Algona

“Rose was great! Stayed with our herd overnight and even managed to get our under-the-weather dog to take her meds. Our 3 cats warmed up to her really quickly and everyone was happy when we got home.”

“Michael was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He provided daily pictures, feedback on how he was doing, and cared for him like his own fur baby. Will for sure book again!”

Carolyn H.

“Mandi was absolutely amazing! She cared for our dog, Skye, for 15 days and went above and beyond to make sure she had everything she needed—especially when Skye got sick. Mandi’s attention, compassion, and communication gave us so much peace of mind. She didn’t just care for our dog, but was also incredibly helpful with our home and plants. We can’t say enough great things about her—highly recommend!”

“Renee did a fantastic job watching our pups! She was very good about checking in, walking them, and giving them attention while we were away, and the house was very clean when we came back.”

“Katelynn is a sweet and thoughtful sitter! She was very respectful of finding ways to help with our homecoming. She kept us informed and updated photos very well. Katelynn has a gift with animals and is missed at our home.”

“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”

“Both Miso and Tofu had an amazing time with Lauren! They looked well cared for and really happy. Highly recommend Lauren to watch over your beloved cats!”

“Kathleen was a true professional from the start. She was communicative and prompt. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. She even went the extra mile and took care of our gardens and chickens. She left the house tidy and it was clear she'd been very respectful of our home during our 2 week trip.”

Carolyn W.

“Jade was awesome, she stayed the weekend at our place and took care of our senior golden lab while we were away. I was a bit apprehensive since this was our first time leaving him with someone we had just met but Jade put us at ease and did a great job taking care of the Colt and the house, will book again!.”

About: I have had many breeds of dogs over the years both big and small. I also have taken care of many more in the mean time just as recently taken care of and walked a senior doggo for last 18 months. I also have taken care of several breeds of dogs of all sizes and energy levels.So with that in mind depending on size energy levels and needs of your loved one will depend on what I can do on pricing I have had my own doggies that I have taken care of over the years as well as taken care of dog that has belonged to both family and friends. Have also taken care of many other kinds of animals as well like bunnies' ferrets and various kinds of livestock So i am looking forward to help board others day or night for those who may be in need of services. I have a small, unfenced yard for your loved fur baby to roam around in and a home inside to relax and play in while here. We also got a dog park for the little ones to run in on the property so they can burn off any extra energy.

“Krista was amazing! She stayed in our home and gave our dog Bailey lots of love and attention. She also gave us thoughtful updates on how she was doing including some pictures. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been cat sitting in my neighborhood for well over seven years (since I was 11) and am well versed in caring for cats of all ages from kitten to senior. I currently go to university full time, so my schedule varies day to day based on classes. Until mid June I am busy Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00-3:30, but otherwise I am very flexible! I have a cat and a dog at home, having my cat for fifteen years and my dog for five, so I'm accustomed to caring for both. I am specifically good at caring for senior animals who may need special feeding schedules, medication, etc.

“Sarah was responsive, prompt and professional. She didn’t hesitate to set up our meet and greet right away, asked great questions, and demonstrated her consideration for my dogs’ routine and comfort. I came home to happy puppies and the house in great condition. Sarah gave me updates and photos that helped me feel at ease with a new sitter. I would not hesitate to rebook Sarah, and recommend her to my friends who use Rover.”

“Brian was great for our weekend away. We had a run-in with a bear and came home a night early. Brian was very understanding about the situation. Our dogs had a great time, and I know they loved sleeping with him. Thanks Brian for being great with our pups!”

“Morgan is awesome!! She house-sat and took care of my 2 kitties for a number of days. She is prompt, organized, communicative, responsive and just overall awesome! I got pictures of my babies regularly. I came home to a clean house, everything put away neatly, my fur babies doing well! Even my one shy, skittish baby warmed up to her. I definitely 10 out of 10 recommend her, and would love to have her back again next time we need!”

“My sweet dog Leo had the BEST experience with Rachel. It was his first overnight stay at another home, and his first experience spending time with other dogs. I was really nervous that there could be issues, but Rachel took great care of Leo, treating him as one of the family. Rachel is mature, patient, and really good at understanding your pet and making him/her feel comfortable and happy. Her hubby loves dogs too, and Leo liked him right away. Leo's time at Rachel's expanded his world and gave him new confidence. I received daily updates with photos which enabled me to relax and really enjoy my time away. I contacted 7 other Rover sitters first, who all turned Leo down, but I am grateful that all those excuses led me to Rachel. What a find!”

“Taylor is amazing! My babies had so much fun & were so well cared for and she did a FANTASTIC job working on their "heel" and walking training!”
