Jason was wonderful, he sent Oscar home with baked homemade doggie cookie treats. He sent me many updates with pictures which made me feel so at ease while I was away from my fur baby. Oscar had a great time and came home happy and relaxed from his stay with Jason!

Thank you so much Morgan for watching Ben and Rosie! She was an amazing sitter and went great lengths to ensure they enjoyed their stay. From daily walks, trips to the dog park, and cuddle time in bed, Morgan went above and beyond. She sent daily pictures of the two and kept us updated. We will definitely be using her again!

We are so lucky to have found Gina! From the first few minutes of our meet and greet I knew she would be the perfect one to watch Winston. We could tell he had the best time because she sent tons of picture and video updates, which eased a lot of anxiety around leaving him in a new place. We will 100% be booking with Gina again!

Melia and Ben were great sitters for our two mini goldendoodles. They sent us daily pics, and we came home to happy dogs. Thanks to you both!

Jake is definitely the most responsible person I have ever met. He always answered my questions very quickly. My two cats are well looked after by him. He knows how to care for cats with different personalities. When we came to pick up the cat, Jake had already packed the cat's things in advance. My cats get along so well with him, they don't even want to go home! He is really nice. 100% recommend him.

Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.

This was our first time boarding our dog anywhere, but Travis made us feel very comfortable and reassured that Percy would be in good hands. We also really appreciated that he sent us daily updates and pictures! I really can’t recommend Travis enough, and will definitely try to board our dog with him the next time we have to go out of town again.

I was very pleased with Abbey's care of my little maltese dog. During our meet-and-greet Abbey struck me as being very friendly, knowledgable and affectionate towards each of her charges. This impression was confirmed when Abbey sent me pictures and a report describing how my dog was doing during my absence. I look forward to Abbey taking care of my dog in the future.

Danny took great care of my dog Bodi while I was out of town. Many walks, trips to the dog park and cuddles just like at home. Danny sent many updates with photos and I felt at ease knowing my dog was safe and happy. Thank you Danny!

Our sweet rescue mutt spent the day and night boarding at Auden's and had a wonderful time. We got text and picture updates throughout. Before we boarded Mochi, we had a meet and greet with Auden at her place, which was very helpful. Thank you for taking such good care of Mochi, Auden!

Charlie, loved his visit with Macy and Luke. When we met Macy, she immediately greeted Charlie with tender attention and warmth. We received cute photos while we were at the football game, and we didn't worry about him at all while he had his "sleep over:) When we picked Charlie up on Sunday morning, Macy was ready with him outside, and he seemed so calm and happy. Our dog has issues with anxiety, but it was immediately evident that he felt comfortable with Macy. Normally, he'd race to us with a "take me home" look, but he stayed by her side until we reached down to pick him up:). Our son is in grad school in Iowa City, and we would absolutely leave Charlie with Macy and Luke again while visiting town. We recommend them very highly.

Madison was great! I booked last minute and she worked with me on the time and everything. My pup came home and slept the WHOLE DAY because she was so tired out from the playing she got while with her! She sent pictures and communicated through the whole stay! Definitely rec booking your pup with her!

This was the first time we used Rover, and I was so happy that we found Kasey and her family. It was obvious from the moment I met her and her family that they loved caring for animals. Pepper enjoyed his stay and was given such great care. Kasey was such a great communicator- I received several pictures and updates that made me realize that he was getting lots of attention and love. This really helped calmed my worries regarding him while I was away. I can't say enough great things about Kasey and her family but was so grateful for their willingness to take care of my dog like he was their own. Would definitely book with Kasey again- she was wonderful!

About: I have my own dog at home who I have grown up with. I have also grown up taking care of neighborhood dogs and my uncles dogs who I have taken care of since they were puppies. I have also taken care of many of my neighbors cats and other various pets. I am currently a full time student technically but I have a lot of open times that I would love to come hang out with some pets who just need some extra loving or taking care of. This also helps me have a break from life and focus on just spending quality time with some pets who are fun to be around. I always put the pet first. I make sure I remember times I went over or left and how long I have stayed at a residence so they have enough time outside of kennels or for play time. I want the pets to feel like they can be calm and chill or be crazy and I’ll play with them or walk them when they just need some energy out.
