“Megan did a spectacular job with our puppy, Duke! She was very prompt and professional in her responses. Megan took care of Duke for a week with a last minute request and we are extremely grateful that she was able to take him. He was really young and we had never used Rover before, but Megan did a spectacular job and made us always want to use Rover going forward with any of our dog daycare or boarding needs. I highly recommend Megan to anyone that wants their dog to have great care and a loving home while having daycare or being boarded. We cannot thank Megan enough!”
“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”
“She was absolutely amazing and very understanding of our family emergency when we had to go home early. She took very good care of our pup and would 100% book with her again! Highly recommend her for anyone!”
“So thankful Kayla could help out really last minute! I just moved to the area and needed someone to watch my Roxy while our household goods were being delivered. She took in Roxy and loved on her just as I would. I am happy to have found someone local to watch Roxy in the future and would 100% use Kayla again!”
About: Hi! I’m Anna, I’ve always loved animals, I had three chihuahuas and a golden retriever growing up. I currently have a Pomeranian bichon mix named Dr. Pepper and a Russian blue kitty cat named Mr. Pickles. My furry friends are treated like family and are the most pampered princes. My friends have relied on me to take care of their furry family members while they have been away and it warms my heart to see the unconditional love that pets bring us. I am available anytime day or night to assist with drop ins or dog walking as needed! I live in the Ankeny area and am willing to travel a reasonable distance I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, I currently have a Russian blue cat and a little Pomeranian mix floof puppy. I understand that your pets are family and I promise to love them dearly and make them feel safe in your absence :)
“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”
“Brooke did a terrific job with our little pup Milo! She was very good with him and did a terrific job of keeping us updated! Thank you so much for keeping Milo at the last minute too!😊”
“We had booked a full day of daycare to allow our shy pup to get accustomed to the home in preparation for an upcoming trip. Sara and her family provided a cozy, caring environment for my dog, who got a lot of pets and love and we were sent photos during the day. I feel comfortable and happy bringing her back to enjoy this home away from home while we go out of town.”
About: I trained both of my childhood dogs fun tricks. I am familiar with taking care of puppies up till senior dogs. I am comfortable with walks/bathroom trips (picking up feces if need be), feedings and medicine administration. I work part time, I take care of my two cats perfectly. My schedule if very flexible working most mornings and partly through a mid day a couple days a week. I live on a first floor apartment with a pond and trail close! I have two cat and lots a space for another fluffy friend to stay.
“We were so lucky to find Beth! With just a few days notice, Beth was available to watch our senior pup while we toured Iowa State with my son. It was so nice to bring our dog along and also not worry about him while we took our tour. Cody was treated to two long walks and is sleeping soundly on our trip back home. Thank you so much, Beth!”
“Kelley did a wonderful job taking care of our 15 year old dog, including mealtime and medicine. Kelly is kind and responsible and we could tell that Adi felt comfortable in her home. 5 out of 5 stars. We highly recommend.”
About: NOTE: I work weekdays throughout the school year. Still available, but pets will be at home without me on weekdays for about 7 hours. I have owned and cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for small dogs <25 pounds all the way up to large sized Great Danes > 200 pounds. I have been fostering dogs for Safe Paws Iowa for the past 3 years. I am available for a large portion of the summer because I only coach softball outside of the school year. I am very active and would love to share that energy with dogs! Walking, jogging, or just playing in the doggy pool is no issue at all. I currently have two dogs of my own. They can play all together or be kept separated! I also have experience giving dogs meds as some of the dogs in my care have different long term conditions. Can’t wait to meet your precious pups! Please contact me if you have any remaining questions! I am mostly free over the summer and weekends. I run errands or make plans outside of when I’m taking care of pets. Pet care is my priority while hosting! I have a fenced in yard, my own dogs to join in play if wanted, I have gates/doors and a finished lower level where I can separate dogs if need be, and have multiple kennels. I allow my dogs on furniture, but can follow owner house rules.
“This was the first time my dogs have gone over to her house and they loved it!! They loved hanging out with her dog and just being able to be around someone all day! She was very sweet and attentive to their needs!”
