Pet Sitting in Dike

“Erika did such a great job with our dog. It was our first time using Rover and Erika provided us updates with each visit along with pictures. Erika was so kind and our dog was very well cared for and safe. We couldn't ask for a better experience! We cant wait to use her again!”

“I was very pleased with Amina and will definitely use use her again. She followed all my directions and my dogs loved her. She took awesome photos of my pups. I highly recommend Amina!”

About: I have been a dedicated dog lover and caregiver for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from raising my own beloved Boxers in the past to regularly working with a wide variety of breeds and sizes. Because I used to own Boxers, I am very experienced with high-energy, medium-to-large dogs. However, I consistently work with dogs across the entire spectrum. This goes from larger breeds like English Mastiffs to small breeds like Terriers and Chihuahua mixes. Beyond my personal history with pets, I am a certified Humane Society volunteer. Whether your dog is high-energy or a just likes to chill, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and reliable environment tailored to their specific needs. I am fully comfortable administering medications (with provided instructions) and am experienced with most harness types. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pup is doing! My schedule is currently limited as I finish my senior year, but I will have much more flexibility starting in June! During the summer, I will be balancing pet care with some part-time babysitting and occasional family trips. I am very diligent about keeping my booking calendar up to date, so please check my specific availability for your dates. I love spending my free time making sure your pups get plenty of exercise and attention! I will take great care to follow your specific house rules and keep your pets comfortable in their own space. I make it a point to double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that your dog is always secure on their leash during outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while giving you peace of mind with regular photo updates and clear communication throughout the stay.

About: I’ve had pets and taken care of them since I was a kid. I have also taken care of the pets of friends and neighbors. Everyone I has been very happy with the care their fur babies received! I currently work from home and am flexible with my availability. I am available for drop in visits and walks throughout the day as well as more continuous care, depending on the situation. I can care for your pets in your home following your instructions to accomodate how you and your pets are most comfortable and the schedule they are used to while you’re away

“Eliza was amazing. Even my very skittish dog liked her. Great communication. She sent pictures and updates. She also accepted a booking at the last second.”

“Does so well with my high energy dog, I could tell my dog has been happier since starting rover & Anna does a great job with how she interacts with her!”

Adriana V.

“On time and sent photos of our pup!”

Kelsey T.

“Bridgette was amazing to work with! She exceeded our expectations, consistently staying for at least the 30 minute drop in or more and left great updates with multiple pictures for each drop in. She went above and beyond playing frisbee with Marley each visit and cuddles as well. She took great care of Marley and made it stress free being away! We’d highly recommend her and will book again!”

Molly F.

“I was really grateful to know that I could count on Meredith to take care of my animals after a 15 hour workday has been intense for two weeks and I need to be able to step away and focus 100% on my work annoying they were taken care of and safe and not stuck inside or in a crate and having somebody come let them out while I was at work is worth it to me they are my family you can count on Meredith and know nothing was stolen”

About: I have two dogs right now. One is a yellow lab and the other is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Spaniel is 3 and the lab is 2. So there is a lot of energy in the house. I have experience with walking them both while on camping trips, giving them baths, playing fetch and of course laying on the couch and cuddling. I also used to have an older Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so I have experience with all ages of dogs. I love to interact and give dogs all of my attention! I have currently just finished my first year of college at Buena Vista University. I am looking to make a little more money for this summer, and this job is something I know I would enjoy. I am not sure how my summer will plan out exactly yet, but I would love to make time and will be flexible! I live in the country with a 3 acre yard. There is plenty of room to run around and play fetch if needed. I also have two dogs on my own that are very friendly and playful, but can also be calmed if needed. I will respect your needs and wants as the dogs owner.

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry family members. I’ve had a variety of different dog breeds — especially those labeled “aggressive.” Because of this, I know every dog has a story and is capable of love regardless of how they’re stereotyped. All animals deserve the same love and kindness as I would give to my very own. I have some experience volunteering at my local humane society & dog sitting for family members & friends. I have no problem tailoring to your animals’ needs and I will treat them with the same love, respect, and adoration that I have for my own fur babies. While seeking a job, my schedule is mostly flexible with the exception of some time to take care of my own dog. During the school year, I am a junior accounting student at the University of Northern Iowa. As my schedule gets busier, I am a great communicator and will dedicate the time & space to care for your pets or redirect you if I cannot give my all for your pets. When caring for your pet I expect to find food with instructions (feeding time, how much food, etc.), treats & how many they can have, toys or puzzles, and any other equipment you want me to use when looking after your furry friend. Please do not hesitate to share any boundaries or silly rituals that your pet requires.

About: Since a baby, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. Not all at once, but I have always been a lover of animals of all types. I have been around animals with sensitive diets, tummy troubles, skin sensitivity, anxiety, and paw pain and know how to spot the warning signs for most common complications. Grooming, bathing, feeding, and exercise are all tasks I am deeply familiar with. If your pet has unique care instructions, trust that I will do my best research prior and will carefully ensure your baby receives the most comfortable stay. I am a college student currently. I currently live in a studio apartment near UNI and will be able to flexibly care for any animals of all types; sans very large dogs for space reasons. My time mostly consists of studying and trying to find the time to exercise enough, so you don't have to worry about a busy body! For my in home service, I am very meticulous about "leaving it as I found it or better than it was." Having military discipline, I am punctual about arriving, check-ins, and feeding/potty times. You can guarantee that any and all instructions relating to your baby or babies is closely followed and communication prompt when necessary. As for boarding or hourly stays, my home is their home. They are welcome to sleep or lounge where they like and accompany me on a walk around town or during a Law and Order binge. Belly rubs and butt scratches are always available round the clock!

About: I have lived with, and taken care of, a dog since since I was 8 years old! I have walked, bathed, and fed pets. I love dogs and I love to take care of them! I am currently a full time English teacher so I am available on during the summer & weekends to be completely dedicated to keeping your dog(s) happy, healthy, and safe! I will follow whatever instructions are supplied and do anything possible to make sure that your dog is comfortable and happy. I can walk, bathe, feed them, and/or more.

About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.

“Jordan was great, came on short notice to take care of my cat!”

About: I have always loved pets. Throughout my entire life, I have had both cats and dogs, and recently my family adopted a gecko from my stepsister. Pets have always been the center of my day, and I always look forward to seeing my little fur-babies, and taking care of them. With this I have been referred to many family friends to extend the love and care I have for my babies onto their babies. I will always take care of your fur-babies as I would my own. I also am very good at giving pets medicine, as I have done it for a few years now. I am a full time college student at UNI, and I love taking care of animals. Being away at college has made me miss my own animals, so I fill that gap by getting to take care and love other animals, and give other families peace of mind while away. I am super open to any environments, whether it be a fenced in yard, or a yard where I will need to leash the pups/kitties up to take them out. I will listen and obey any instructions the client may give, whether it be for respecting the pets, or respecting the house.

“Dylan did an amazing job!! We were concerned about leaving the dogs at home alone for the first time, but after the first few check-ins Dylan took all our worry away. Knowing the dogs were safe and in good hands allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry free. We will definitely be rebooking with Dylan. We couldn’t be more satisfied!!”
