“Mika is a reactive dog around strangers, and this was her very first time staying alone without me — so it wasn’t an easy situation. The first few hours were tough, but Sky, with so much patience, love, and sensitivity, managed to earn Mika’s trust and affection on the very first day. It was truly amazing. 🤩 On top of that, Sky gave me so much peace of mind by sending frequent updates and photos of Mika, which really helped ease my anxiety. ADEMÁS que habla español, mi idioma nativo, así que no pude estar más cómoda en nuestra comunicación. Sky —a name that couldn’t be more fitting— is a kind, respectful, communicative, and very responsible young woman. I would trust her with Mika again a thousand times over. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sky! 💖”

“Sierra was wonderful. She sent regular updates, asked questions when she was unsure, and left our home as clean as we left it. Sierra even picked up a large outdoor plant that was knocked over during severe wind. I have already booked her for another pet sitting job next month and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Sonja did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies. She sent me pictures and if she had questions or concerns she asked. She is very attentive and perceptive.”

“Anden did a great job with our two boxers, one of which is very shy with new people. Didn’t take long for Max to warm up and get comfortable with Anden. Thanks again!”

About: My name is Nicole and my husband’s name is Zach. I’m a dental hygienist and work Tuesday to Friday. We have 4 precious fur babies, 2 cats Dexter and Teddy, and 2 dogs Arie and Reggie. Arie is a border collie who is 13 years old and Reggie is a Bernese Mountain dog who is 3. Reggie is 127 pounds so I have experience with large dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs. I work full time as a dental hygienist Tuesday to Friday so I’m currently available Saturday-Monday. I would also be available after 5:30pm Tuesday-Friday if needed. Right now my senior dog is battling cancer so I’m not available to board at my house but can come to your home and take care of your fur babies.

“Amber was phenomenal with my dog, Arya, while I was out of the country!! She house sat for me and sent me daily updates and photos so I never had to worry how things were. I came home to a very happy pup! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again and again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have experience with small dogs all the way to Bernese mountain dogs. Currently I have a mixed breed named Arlo that is full of energy. We love to go on walks and adventure everyday. Your dog will not be bored and will be loved like they are my own. Currently working full time with the ability to work from home if needed. I only live 3 blocks from where I work so coming home is no issue. I am a early riser so my dog gets plenty of exercise in the mornings to wear him out while we are gone. I would be able to watch your animal any day of the week. I have a nice size backyard that isn’t fenced in (my dog doesn’t need) but have a chain in case your animal needs it. I have a very nice crate if they prefer to lay or sleep in one. I am mostly outside in the mornings and at night so your pup will always be moving or can lay around and relax if that’s what they prefer.

About: I have had a strong love and passion for animals ever since I was young, and have taken care of many different animals throughout my life. I have completed 1 year of Veterinary Technician School, and had experience working in a Veterinary setting. I am very proficient in the care of dogs and cats, old and young! I am excited to start working with you and your pet(s)! If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I am looking to provide my services part time, I have the most availability during the week and some weekends! I do not do overnight stays but can check in frequently, depending on your pets needs. As a sitter for Rover, my main focus is your pets safety, comfort, and happiness. I create a calm, secure environment where your pet will feel loved and at home. You can trust that I will treat your pet just as my own, keeping their well-being my top priority!

“Angie was an amazing dog sitter for us!! She watched our dog, Rosie, and my brother in law’s dog, Kenobi, in our home when we were on vacation for 4 days. Angie came to our house prior to the sit for a proper meet and greet with the pups. It was clear how experienced she is around pets and the pups loved her immediately. Our dog Rosie is on a special diet which was no issue when we were away. Angie kept great communication and gave us daily updates with pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Angie!!”

I do not have a fenced in area, but will take your fur-baby out as often as needed between my husband and I both. We will use a leash to keep your pet safe!

“Jaxson was great with our dogs, who can be picky about people. They took to him right away because he was very gentle and didn't make hard eye-contact. He took excellent care of the the dogs, who were in great shape when we returned. He even ran with them. He was very responsive to questions and kept us updated us about the dogs. He stayed at the house, which was exactly as we had left it when we returned. I recommend Jaxson highly, especially if you have dogs who need a calm, gentle presence.”

About: I have grown up around all types of dogs, I have always been around dogs and love being around them. Growing up I helped my dad train our dogs and be active with them. I am available on weekends and MTW afternoons/nights, I am a college student but I am available majority of the time. I have school work that will not affect proper pet care. If there certain needs that the dogs needs I will follow all instructions, I can take the dogs on walks, there is a dog park near coe that would be good to run around in, I would be respectful of all clients home and take great care of all dogs!!!

“Auden and Yen (her right hand canine assistant) kept our 8 month old female Birdie safe, loved ,exercised and entertained for eight days at our house while we had a trip out of state. First time we have left our puppy with a pet sitter and we’re naturally anxious at first but felt completely relaxed and confident with Auden especially after many cute pictures and texts of Birdie and Yen playing, sleeping and on walks together. Such a relief to find someone you feel safe leaving your pet with.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I've taken care of old dogs, puppies, and dogs in their prime. I love taking dogs on walks, especially if I can run with them. Getting outside is great. I'm a busy guy, but any second I'm not working is a waste. I work overnights during weekdays and part-time jobs every day except Sunday. I hope pet care can fill the gaps in my schedule. I don't board now because of the rules of my landlord, but I will stay in other homes and get dogs outside whenever I can. I love taking dogs to the park and getting them exercise.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was in high school, from family members, neighbors, or friends! I can provide services for dogs, cats, smaller animals ect. I have cared for puppies that need help with potty training, special dogs that need extra care and help with certain needs, to senior dogs that need help getting up or walking around. I’ve also given oral medications for dogs at multiple different families. I have also been a Nanny for Iowa Elite Nannies since 2018 and pick up shifts for numerous families around the area. I am renovating a house so with all the things that’s going on at my home I’d prefer to come to you for a better safer environment for pets at this time. I am very active and love going on walks and playing with pets in anyway I can to make sure they get all their zoomies out. I currently work full time (7:30am-4:00pm Monday-Friday) as a dental assistant at North Liberty Oral Surgery and Dental Implants. I can provide drop-in visits before/after my work hours or during my free time or weekends. I can possibly do overnights at the rovers house as well if requested and works out with my schedule. My home is currently undergoing renovations at this time so I’m not offering boarding at my home. I will stay at the rovers house with their pet if requested. I love all animals and will treat them like my own. If the pets family has a routine for the animals or specific requests I will obviously follow that and do what is asked. Obviously food, water, and potty breaks are a necessity and I will provide that for your pets. If your pet has an specific diet, allergies, medications Id request that it be written down, so I can always make sure I’m giving your pet the correct portions/amounts.
