Robert was great with our 10 week old mini golden doodle Lulu! He made sure we were up to date on all her daily activities when he came to walk her, and his attention and care was much appreciated.

Lisa has been cat sitting for me for over 30 years. She treats my cats as though they are her own. She has a lot of great experience with cats and dogs and is comfortable playing with them and caring for them. She has been a really good cat sitter for me whenever I’m away. She sends me pics of my kitties and that helps so much. I’ve had kittens and older cats over the years and she’s done great with them all.

About: I have owned pets all my life - I love both cats and dogs! Throughout high school, I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 5 years where I provided daily exercise, feeding, medications, and spa services for up to 30 dogs at a time. I’ve been accepted to graduate school in the fall, so I’m currently working part-time through Rover while I prepare to start classes. Given that my schedule is so open, I can be very flexible for last-minute bookings! I have a reactive dog of my own, so unfortunately I am not able to host pets in my home. However, when visiting a client’s space, I follow the pet’s lead to ensure they feel comfortable.

About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.

Karla was so kind and friendly with both me and my pets. I will definitely be relying on her for dog walking. She was prompt, she provided updates, and she sent the cutest pictures. I also noted that my pup would get a treat and need to be placed by the water bowl and she ensures that happened as well. I'm very thankful to have found Karla!

Ash has cared for our elderly dog for the last six months. He is a senior and needs a lot of gentle care and patience, which Ash is always happy to provide. Ash provides in home care for our dog and provides him with his special diet and takes him to the only places he is willing to eat, drink, and potty, due to his blindness. We always know he is in great hands with Ash.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I've had my own dogs, raised from puppies, and have experience with giving medication orally and via injections. My family and I also foster puppies and dogs for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. I practice training with all of the pups that come into my home. My children and I love taking care of animals and will take great care of yours! I work full-time from home but have a flexible schedule. I can manage my work schedule to accommodate your needs. My 11-year-old son is also available and willing to help out, if the situation is suitable for him. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love animals and will take the best care of them. Dogs deserve to be loved and treated with respect.
