Allyson did a great job caring for our pets. She was a huge help with all our animals and extra requests. We could tell she cared about them and that our cat liked seeing her too. She kept us updated with notes and pictures, which was very nice to see and hear about how our animals were doing. We will definitely hire her again and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

About: My husband and I both grew up on farms tending to animals since a very young age. I began training to show dogs at age 10 for obedience. At age 16 I began hosting obedience training for 4-H groups. Our family has four German shorthaired pointers that are hunters and excellent family companions. We are constantly working with our animals on a daily basis. We are well-versed in the care of elderly dogs and the energy management of puppies and their short attention spans. I currently work remotely from home, so I’m able to tentatively care for your dog each day. If you are in my neighborhood, I can easily do drop ins 2 to 3 times a day. My husband and I have four boys who are just as animal loving as we are. They are always willing to play and give extra love to animals. We have a privacy height fenced in 1/2 acre yard where your puppy is free to play with our 4 German shorthair pointers or solo. We have extra crates for use if necessary.

Our first visit was Samantha was excellent. My two dachshunds are usually nervous around new people, but they liked Samantha right away. She took her time to let the dogs relax and come to her. She was kind and gentle, and that made a huge difference. The pups quickly felt relaxed and calm. I look forward to working with Samantha this fall!

We felt confident our furry family was getting the best care possible while we were away. Highly recommend!!!

About: I know how energetic dogs are, and I am as well so we’re a perfect match! I can keep them entertained while they are also making my day so much brighter! I am a full time student but classes do not take up much of my day! I love to go on long walks and I can entertain any dog for hours. I can do late afternoons and mornings, as well as nights if need be. I have 2 dogs at home, but here at college I do not have any pets. My apartment does allow pets so it would be no problem to have them over:) I also have the option of a fenced in yard if your little pup prefers to run around freely.

About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I grew up taking care of mostly dogs, but I have experience with other animals like cats, goats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I love meeting new animals and helping care for them. I am currently a student at Iowa state but am available all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and weekends. I’m available in the afternoon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I cannot provide boarding because of the pets I have at home, but I can visit pets or stay overnight with them at their homes. I’ve stayed in ankeny overnight a few times but prefer to stay in Ames due to my classes being in the morning.

About: I’ve been dog walking and sitting for both relatives and family friends since I was maybe 5 or 6. I grew up in a big dog family and have always had a passion for animals. I’m starting school this fall at Iowa State University, and I plan to major in Animal Biology so I can get myself started on the pre-veterinary track. To get some extra hands-on experience, I want to “officially” get some pet-sitting under my belt through Rover. I have also recently started volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter and I love the exposure that I’m getting! Apart from starting college in late August, I am currently unemployed and am looking for one (or more!) part-time job(s) to add some more structure to my summer :) From there, I’ll probably stay active on Rover, but my availability might become a little less flexible. I have two cats and one dog (all girls and all spayed!) that know how to behave with guests. Our dog loves to make friends and is very sociable. I’m perfectly fine visiting or staying overnight for your pets, and they will always be welcome at my house. I can adjust based on whatever your preferences are!

About: I have been dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting since I was in high school! I also worked for 3 years at a general practice veterinary clinic, working with animals boarding at the facility to provide them care. I have also worked 2 years in the ICU of the Small Animal Hospital at Iowa State, taking care of patients. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of flexibility with my schedule when it comes to housesitting, walking your dogs, or any care you might need! I am happy to play with your pets, take them outside, and ensure they have company! I cannot care for pets in my own home (territorial cat, oops!) but more than happy to hang out in your home and ensure your pets are happy and taken care of.

Brooke is amazing with animals! She truly loves animals and provides such great care for them, whether her own dogs, cat and chickens or others’ animals. When our cat was about to give birth, she came right over and helped us through the whole process. When we were gone for 5 days and our dog failed the kennel we took him too (for aggressive behavior), Brooke and her husband were able to handle and care for our dog while we were gone. Lastly, any time we have questions or issues with our dog and/or cats, I call Brooke right away because I know she will know what to do. She is very knowledgeable about animals. Brooke has done an excellent job caring for our cats and dog and I very highly recommend her to care for your pets.

Teagan is an amazing pet sitter and has watched my cats and dog several times. She always goes above and beyond in making sure they get the proper care whenever I've been gone. I also worked with her in a vet clinic situation and she was wonderful with all levels of pets that we saw no matter how big or small, their temperment, ect. She isn't afraid of the more "troublesome" pets and is always glad to find ways to make sure the animal's needs come first!

Cameron had great communication and was very attentive towards Holstein during her check-ins. Made my cat’s first sitter experience a positive one!

Our dogs were so well cared for over a very cold weekend. Carson does a professional job with their drop-in care.

Alexandra was there for us when we needed a sitter to let our pups outside and play time on short notice. She took wonderful pics of them and provided a note after the visit.

Sydney was AMAZING!!! 15/10!! She took the best care of my two fur babies while we were away, and sent me pictures each time she was with them! I would HIGHLY recommend her!! Extremely friendly and does a great job communicating! Will be re-booking with her in the future! 💛💛
