Izabelle was absolutely amazing. She gave me daily updates with photos, which were wonderful. She was able to play with my cats, and despite them being shy they seemed very comfortable and loved from the updates I was sent. I would absolutely have her watch my cats again!

We were so happy with the care, love and attention Allyson gave our Artie. She was our first non-family sitter, and it couldn't have gone any better. We really appreciated her updates and pictures. The pics showed a very happy Artie, enjoying walks, frisbee and other play time. Outstanding care and communication!

Brianna is great! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little worried about leaving our cat with someone new. Brianna was great at communication and was so patient with all our follow ups and questions that we had along the way! 10/10 would recommend

Alex was amazing! It was such a comfort to have someone spend time w our cat who is such a people cat. The daily reports and pictures just meant the world to us. She also made sure we didn’t have packages sitting by our doors while we were gone! And we got delayed on our trips back and she was able to extend our booking to cover. It made such a difference being gone to know all was well here.I can’t say enough about how great she is!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life - my own growing up on the family farm, as well as for family, friends and neighbors. I’m currently working full-time during the week but have a flexible schedule that allows for regular drop in visits. Boarding services available on weekends and weekdays after 3 pm. I have a very friendly, large dog and we enjoy taking multiple walks every day and playing in the yard (not fenced in). I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs and schedule as well.

She did a very great job taking care of my babies. She actually made another visit in between times so they wasn't inside to long. Highly recommend her. I'd definitely have her do it again if she is available. Great job

Courtney is so great with our dogs! We have two giant breeds and she handled them with ease. Our Great Dane is usually very upset from being without us, but Courtney spent meaningful time with her and she was a happy dog when we got back home. She made sure to communicate everything with us and I loved seeing the reports on the dogs. Can’t say enough good things about Courtney!!

Michelle did a fantastic job for us during our trip. Our cats are shy around new people, and she really worked to make them feel comfortable and happy. Michelle went above and beyond to help our pets and check on our house as well. The pet photos she sent us daily meant a great deal to our family. I will definitely ask Michelle to take care of our two cats anytime we need to be away. She is wonderful!!

Libby responded to my request quickly and was very accomodating with a last minute booking. When meeting with her, I was impressed with her cheerful & confident manner. She was comfortable giving my cat her medications and was happy to give me updates and pictures with each visit. I would definitely trust her in my home to care for Alice again!

About: In addition to having dogs and cats as my childhood pets, I also worked with the Puppy Jake Foundation training service dogs for wounded veterans for two years, and spent a summer interning at Kawa Farms K-9 Training. I have always adored all pets, but dogs and cats have a special place in my heart! I’m spending the summer in Ames and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for last-minute bookings, frequent walks, overnight care, and lots of attention/playtime. I’m working part-time remotely over the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I typically work about 4–5 hours on weekdays, leaving me with lots of availability for drop-in visits, walks, boarding, daycare, and overnight sitting. Because I spend most of my time at home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have flexibility for early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to accommodate pets’ normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for based on their individual routine and needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medication instructions, and any specific preferences owners share with me. In my home, pets would have plenty of attention, supervision, and space to relax indoors. I do have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time would be supervised and pets would always be kept safely on a leash when outside. In clients’ homes, I do my best to maintain pets’ normal routines to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, updates/photos, and lots of companionship throughout the visit. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure while I’m there.

Kevin has been helping us with my aunt's cat who needs daily medication. He is professional, friendly, quick to respond, and most importantly, Cleo is getting her pills. He also sends us a photo of her after each visit which we find funny (she doesn't look too happy after being pilled but she does have a lot of attitude!) and also comforting to know she is being taken care of by someone who knows what he is doing and enjoys it.

Devin and Kelsey were amazing with our anxious schnauzer for drop in visits while we were away. They went above and beyond to comfort her during their visits. I highlight recommended them and would rebook in the future.

About: I’ve watched many dogs and two cats over the past 4 years usually over family friend vacations. I’ve worked with reactive dogs as well as two young puppies. I spoil my dogs and would be happy to treat your pets with just as much love! I am a part time college student so I have a TON of time to pet sit! As I prepare for dental school in the fall, I will also be free for summer work. I love staying with dogs in either an environment they are used to or my own depending on what the pet parent prefers! There is a fenced in dog park behind my apartment that is never occupied where I run around with dogs. If it is occupied, I would walk around the park nearby with lots to smell on the trail. I also love giving dog baths, so that could totally be included!

About: I’ve had a dog in my household my entire life. I love to spend time with dogs more than humans. I like to play with them and show affection. I also love to take my dog on walks and runs. My dad taught me a couple training skills as well. I also pet sitter for someone for a week and stayed the night the whole week, and have done some weekends as well. They always went so smoothly! I go to college at Iowa state university and am done around 12 every day except Monday. Monday I have a lab that goes until 6. I would be able to stop in whenever! I treat each home with respect and treat the dog like they are my own. I make them my priority and make sure they are happy!
