Absolutely perfect experience. We were going to be in Ames for a night and needed a sitter for our two boys. Jenevieve was awesome. Friendly and personable and had a great environment for the dogs. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!!!! We are after nervous leaving them with someone we haven’t used before but when we dropped them off we could tell immediately they were in GREAT HANDS. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.

Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.

Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.

After reading several stellar reviews, I decided to contact Maggie to schedule time for her to kitty-sit my cat, Pebbles. I wasn't quite sure of the time frame to reserve because I didn't know when exactly I would be returning home. Maggie assured me it would be no problem if I needed an extra day. I did, in fact, request an additional day because when I returned home, I was too tired to drive across town to pick up my cat. Maggie said it was fine which I really appreciated! Before I brought Pebbles to Maggie's, I informed her that I wasn't sure how well she would interact with other animals because there are no other pets in my home. Maggie said not to worry and that she has space to separate pets if needed. As anticipated, the next day, Maggie texted to inform me that Pebbles was a bit stressed and did not appreciate the other animals. She kept Pebbles away from the other pets to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Maggie was very good about texting updates and pictures of Pebbles throughout my trip. This was definately peace of mind for me. I have never used a pet sitter before. While on trips, I have either taken my pets to the vet, family, or friends have come to my house to care for them. I was very pleased with Maggie taking care of Pebbles and will definately use her again in the future! I highly recommend Maggie to take care of your pet(s)!

Kevin was amazing at working with me when I change her drop off time twice due to flight changes. He sent me pictures and videos and let me know Cookie was warming up to him (as I was worried about that, as she is wary of people she doesn't know). He was also accommodating in letting someone else pick up cookie for me as I wouldn't be able to. Cookie seemed to be her normal self when I returned home and hopefully she was good for Kevin during her stay. I would book with Kevin again as he was very chill and laid back about Cookie.

This was my first time leaving my senior rescue pups with a Rover sitter. Alexandra was patient with my dogs and the time it took them to settle in, get comfortable and bark less. Appreciated her prompt responses and communication. Her setup was great for my dogs and she has a giant fenced in backyard!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!
