Paul was able to watch Honey and Frankie on short notice and as always he was flexible and responsive. We already have him booked for our next trip.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my whole life. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for family and friends. I have stayed at homes with the animals, taken them on walks, and just the normal caring duties for animals. I currently work full-time at a middle school. If close enough to my job, I can take the animal on a potty break if needed. Otherwise I am at work for almost 8 hours on the weekdays. My weekends are free! I will not accept dogs into my own home, but when at the clients home I accommodate to the pets needs whether that involves walking them, tying them up, or keeping them in a fenced in yard

Alden, IA, 50006

About: I have owned puppies, adopted pets, as well as taken care of seniors. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish. I am open to birds and reptiles as well. I have taken care of dogs on our property for the last few years, but prefer to take care of animals in their own environment. I am currently teaching full-time, so can work on weekends. Then from June-mid August I have full week availability. I do not require much notice, as I am fairly flexible. I prefer to take care of animals in their own environment. This keeps their stress down, during the time you are gone. I am very careful to follow all instructions and will always ask first if something requires clarity.

Anthony and Mackenzie were great! We loved getting all the photos and videos of our pups enjoying their sleepover with their new friends and the pups really seemed to enjoy their weekend. They are so relaxed and exhausted that we know they had a great time. Would definitely use these guys again!

Gilbert, IA, 50105

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, from young pets needing extra attention to seniors requiring more gentle, specialized care. My experience includes feeding routines, walks, litter box changes and cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and maintaining each pet’s normal schedule to keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work at a school as a para/CNA so I am available for late afternoons after 3:15pm, evenings, weekends, holiday breaks, and summer break! I provide attentive in-home pet care so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I care for both yoga and cats with services including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box changes or cleaning, medication support if needed, and lots of companionship. I prioritize keeping pets safe, stress-free, and happy while maintaining their normal schedule and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Rover made this transaction incredibly smooth. Chrissy is exactly the kind of person you want watching your dogs. She texted us photos twice a day and let us know what was going on. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you. *****

Mackenzie did great taking care of my two dogs and my house for 8 days. One of my dogs had just had surgery before Mackenzie started watching them and she did great with post op instructions for my healing puppy. I would recommend her to anyone!

About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!! I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking
