Nejra is just amazing. She really saved me while I was in Waukee. If you’re considering using her for your animals, I would definitely recommend her. She has great communication and she’s always generous with the pictures

Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.

Ali did a wonderful job with drop-in sessions for my senior dog. He loved her visits and was always happy and tired afterwards. Ali’s communication is prompt and clear. A member of my household is immunocompromised so we take precautions around illness, and Ali was flexible and very respectful.

Arielle was wonderful. She was timely and responsive. During each drop in with our cats she gave them lots of playtime and took lots of pictures for us. We were extra appreciative since she was available over the holidays.

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.

I have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!

About: I have well over 24 years caring for dogs. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog. We (me and my family) lost our dog, Teddy, about 11/2 years ago. It has been very hard living without him. I still look for him at the door whenever I come home. We are still heartbroken from his passing. Someday we hope to find the courage to love again. Until then we want to love on all the doggies that come to stay and play with us. When your dog is here he/she is part of our family. Please be willing to come by with your pup for a meet & greet before any reservations are made. Our main concern is that you are completely comfortable leaving your fur-baby with us. Here is a coupon for $20 off. Your Promo Code: TIFFAK87923 Your promo code is only for new Rover members you recruit through your profile link. Rules and restrictions apply—read our Terms of Service to learn more. I work for H&R Block during tax season, January thru April. I am home all day the rest of the year to care for your doggie. I care for your dog as if he/she were my own. We will go on walks to Greenbelt Park, Grays Lake, and all throughout our neighborhood. We can play fetch in our yard. Also, belly rubs are a must :)

I have known Pam for over 50 years, she is a very close friend. I have been to her home hundreds of times. She treats her pets like they are part of the family. They are pampered and taken to the vet yearly and as needed. Pam is a very caring and responsible person. When she says she will do something she does it. Anyone's pet would receive the best of care with Pam.
