8. Jaden B.
“Jaden is not only an amazing dog caregiver but was the greatest dad to one of the bestest boys to ever live. His boy Zeus was an amazing dog. Not only because that's just the dog he was but because of the bond and love Jaden had formed with his best friend. Jaden knows what it means to give a dog a full and happy life full of play,joy and fulfillment. Not only that but he really showed just how good he was when we took care of all 3 of my boys with no problems whatsoever! They did not want him to leave! I've never had more peace of mind when entrusting my boys for care when I had to be away. Thank you Jaden!!!”

About: My partner, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 6 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 4 month old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. We work from home full time and will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.
10. Natasha A.
“If I had children Natasha would watch them too. Don’t be dumb, just hire her. She even cleaned my apartment a little one time. Hiring Natasha to watch my dog is the best decision I’ve ever made. I didn’t even want to leave this review because I’m selfish, and don’t want someone else taking my days.”
11. Jessica D.
“Jessica did a great job with our dogs! They love to give kisses and play ball and she accommodated that well. Will definitely be using Jessica again!”
12. Grace P.
“Grace took excellent care of the cats! She learned quickly and was able to give Finn his insulin shots, and left detailed notes!”
13. Nichole H.
“Nichole was great with our cats and put extra effort into making sure our cats were taken of despite our cat offering some challenges. She was awesome at communicating with us too!”
14. Shannon M.
“Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!”
15. Lacey S.
“This is the first time we use Lacey and she was great. My 3 girls were well taken care of and happy when we got back. We will definitely be using her when we go out of town again.”
16. Chelsie L.
“Chelsie took excellent care of our dog while we were away overnight! She is thorough with information and pictures and I never had to worry about our sweet dog! I will definitely use Chelsie again!!”
17. Brenda E.
About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.
18. Stephanie V.
“Stephanie was super easy to coordinate with and very responsible, trustworthy, and friendly! She came to meet our cats ahead of time and was very attentive to the instructions we provided. She showed up when she said she would and provided text updates every time she visited for the duration of our trip. We will definitely be booking her again if she’s available for any future trips we take; very pleased with our experience with her!”
19. Maddie C.
About: I grew up with two dogs and absolutely love dogs. I have experience with all different sizes. I love playing with dogs, petting them and walking them. I am currently a grad student at Drake University and a have Fridays off. I also have some day time availability when we don’t have classes. I will respect the wishes of the clients home. I will respect their boundaries and keep their pet safe the entire time. I will follow all rules provided by the client.
20. Conner F.
About: I have an almost 7 year old black German Shepherd that's about 70 lbs. She is good with other dogs and people. I have a flexible full time job Monday through Friday 8-4. I enjoy going on walks and spending time with animals. I have had different dogs all of my life, so all are loved here! Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I work a full time day job typically 8-4. However, my day job is very flexible and can work around various scheduling changes, if needed. I work from home 3 days a week, as well. I do not have a crate at home but will gladly crate your dog at night or when I’m away, if that’s their normal routine and you provide one. My yard is not fully fenced but I do have access to the city dog parks, as long as they are up to date on vaccinations.
