Thank you for another great stay and for treating Remi as part of the family! We are relieved she has a great time while we are away and and she comes home very happy and herself! She even got a new toy! Aaron is the best and we couldn’t ask for anything more, highly recommend!

Nansy was absolutely great with Hank. Our golden retriever was a less than desirable guest to say the least and Nansy handled the situation so well and even went above and beyond while we had our 2nd baby. Highly recommend Nansy to watch your pet, you won’t be disappointed!

Tucker had a great time at Savanna & Bryan’s! He got to spend Christmas with them and their family! He loved playing with all the other dogs and fetch with the kiddos! They even gave him some Christmas treats to take home! 5 ⭐️

Madison is very generous, caring, and understanding. Norman came home freshly bathed and tuckered out. He slept the entire 2.5 hour car ride back home!

Nicole’s whole family was wonderful and made my separation-anxiety-prone dog’s stay so comfortable, he barely missed me. From the moment I pulled up and Nicole sat down on the driveway to meet my dog, I knew I had made an excellent choice for my first-ever Rover booking. A special shout-out to Nicole’s awesome daughter, who spent lots of time with my furry child and even crashed out with him. I feel so lucky that I found Nicole. Should I ever be in this area of Iowa again and need a dog sitter, I know who I will be contacting first!

About: I've always loved dogs and loved caring for them. I work from home now and love to spend my free time with your pups! I have my own mini dachshund puppy named Fern, who loves everyone and every dog she meets! I'd love to care for your animal while you are away. I am a wedding and portrait photographer, so during the week I am mostly at home working. I am typically free Monday-Friday to watch your pups or let them out! I also love taking them for walks. I have my own mini dachshund puppy named Fern, so your dog will be taken outside as many times as I take my own (which is a lot!) They can enjoy playing together and I also love taking them for walks to tire them out!

About: Have you ever wished you had someone who could take care of your pets like you do? Here I am!! My dogs are my babies! I have 2 Male Labradors named Tank and Nash! I have always struggled with finding someone I TRUST watching my pets, I want them to be treated how I treat them! With treats, toys and walks! I will be offering walks, potty breaks, treats (unless you have a pet with food restrictions please bring your own) if they are water babies I will take them swimming! I have a fully fenced in yard! Required: Please also provide documentation of vaccinations, and flea/tick/heart worm Required: Please make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs before booking! **If looking to book where I need to stay at your home please take it into consideration me coming early in the morning or after work timeframe** I work from home Monday-Friday and weekends I am available. Please just make sure your pets are friendly. My dogs are not neutered. Thank you! My pets are supervised at ALL times since I work from home. We do have a fenced in area where the dogs can play outside. Dogs are allowed on the couch or dog bed. If you bring your own dog bed please make sure it is clean! If I am watching at someone’s home, I will make sure messes are cleaned along with treats given if told so. Along with walks, we like to take our dogs to Coyners dog park and let them play. If your dog is not friendly this is not the fit for you.

About: I've had dogs for most of my life. I've adopted from rescues and love making my pets feel safe and loved. My current dog is a senior male who's very sweet. He gets lonesome so it would be nice to have dog friends visit. I'm patient and kind. We love to go on walks and relax iny gated yard. I work full-time but I'm very close to work and come home every day during lunch to let my dog have some yard time. We go for a walk at night to get outdoors. I have a senior dog and a nice fenced backyard for them to roam around. My dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps with me.

About: I have never been without an animal in my life. I know the anxiety of leaving my babies and now as a retired teacher I can provide that same comfort to your baby if you need to leave them. I am a retired teacher and live on an acreage. I am home most of the time and spend a lot of time outside. I do have cats that are good with dogs. I have a young energetic mutt mix that looks like a mix of Yorkshire and Rat Terrier. I have 4 acres of invisible fence. I can train almost any dog to learn the boundaries. Or I can keep your dog on a leash when we go outside. We have no kids and have quite a relaxed home.

Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)

About: I have babysat or taken care of dogs/animals ever since I was a child. To this day I will take in pets that are hurt or homeless until they are rehabilitated or find a good home. I have experience with all ages and stages of canine. Experience training dogs, nurturing them back to health, birthing, caring for seniors and special needs, bottle feeding babies, and much more. Let me know what your special needs are! I homestead and care for livestock on our farm. I have a pretty open availability. My largest chores here are completed early morning and late evening, giving me opportune time to be available during the days for checking in on, playing with and feeding, walking or housing your pup. I do not crate animals unless specified by owner. They will hang out with my family and I like they are our own if they are staying with us. I will follow and respect your rules for your pet in your homes and mine. We can work together with any special needs. I have an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits, doggie day sitting or to go on walks with your incredible pup. I will follow and abide by the rules you have in your home for pup. During our meet and greet we will go over all expectations, needs and rules for your doggie.

About: I've been raised taking care of animals. I love dogs and any other animal and would take care of yours as if they are my own. They will be treated as a baby. I can administer meds and take care of any other special needs and requirements. I work fulltime but its flexible enough to take time off as needed. Working towards making the full time job only part time. I have a dog of my own that would love a playmate. I walk my dog several times a day. I take him to the dog park and can offer washing your dog as well. I also have a flexible work schedule.
