Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

It was such a relief to finally feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter so I could enjoy my vacation worry free! Victoria went out of her way to make her home safe and enjoyable for my dog who was dealing with some stiffness. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Kalanie was amazing! She sent a lot of pics and videos, took Leon to a soccer game, and I’m pretty sure he came home freshly bathed! He loved playing with her dogs and little kids. It was so nice to have him lived in the same way he would be at home with us!

Jessica did a great job of taking care of my two dogs while I was on a 4 day trip. She was very friendly and responsive. She has a lovely home and backyard and I can tell that my babies had a good time in her care!

Crystal watched our 4 month old puppy for a week while we went on vacation. She was very flexible for drop off and pickup and sent updates through out the week to let us know how she was doing. As a bonus she came back to us walking on a leash like a pro! Would definately recommend Crystal!!

Alice was an amazing care taker for our chihuahua for a week around spring break. She was super easy to communicate with through the process, sent regular updates/photos, and my dog came home super happy and well cared for. Thanks!

Our dog just spent another A+ time with Molly. He's excited to go over to her place, which tells you how well she treats him, and her updates give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacations. Our little guy comes home so happy. We're grateful.

Kaylee and Sean were wonderful with watching our pup for 1 week. They sent photo updates and made sure my anxious pup felt right at home. 10/10 would rebook and recommend to others!

Michelle and Mark were so good to Ollie! They sent lots of pictures and treated him nicer than their own when he didn't want to sleep alone. They were very conscientious of our routine and preferences. And they didn't even complain that his head smelled like skunk (which happened right before I dropped him off and I fell awful about!). We'll definitely not hesitant to rebook.

Sara was amazing with our dog and created a remarkable first impression of Rover for us. It was our first time using Rover, but Sara made everything feel so comfortable and smooth. She sent so many pictures which put my worried mind at ease and I just knew our golden was so comfortable with her. She was great at communicating and it truly was a seamless experience. I would trust her with my pup any time!! ❤️

We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.

Thank you for taking such great care of Fox! He is usually very nervous when we leave town but he seemed to make himself right at home. We very much appreciated how flexible Lisa was with our flight schedule! Fox is already looking forward to being able to visit again!

About: I always grew up with dogs. At my parents house I have 2 huskies that I took care of all the time before I left for college. I have also dog sat for my friends dogs back home all the time too. Now that I am at college I want to help other people out by either simply walking their dog or taking care of them for them. I miss having dogs around. I have taken care of Chihuahuas to pit bulls to huskies. I used to walk my huskies everyday after school and I miss having that in my daily routine. In between classes I plan on getting some dog walks in, after classes I plan on getting some dogs walks in, on the school nights I can watch dogs and on weekends I’ll watch and walk dogs! I may be in an apartment with no yard but if I have a dog over night then I will make sure to take it out plenty of times, take the dog on walks and play with the dog to ensure they get all their energy out and are doing well. I can also crate the dog if necessary or even leave it rooming. I do allow pets on furniture so they can be nice and comfy as well. I don’t have any dogs in my building so no need to worry about other dogs interfering with yours!
