“Alex really enjoyed his stay with Myle. She gave the right amount of pictures to show how he is doing. He be came friend with her dogs. We will ask for more dog stays in the future. Thank you for taking care of Alex. Gave us comfort knowing he is doing good. 😀”
“Susan was on point with all the things I was looking for!! Great communication from start to finish, very welcoming and attentive to my needs and requests, sent pictures and updates and my doggie absolutely loved his stay and good bye snuggles. Will definitely book again!!”
“We are SO grateful for Kat. She allowed our Dakota to stay in her home for a week while we were away for our wedding. Before the week vacation began, I was so nervous to leave Dakota with someone I didn’t know, we’d never done that before. Though, Kat went above and beyond. She moved plants around in her home to help keep Dakota safe. She allowed Dakota to drink water from the sink, like she does at home, to help keep Dakota happy! During the stay, she sent pictures and updates each day. And at the end, she had everything packed and ready to go for me upon pick up! It couldn’t have been a better experience and Kat a more perfect sitter. We will definitely be asking Kat for her help in the future! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“Emma had a great visit with Tiffany and family. They are welcoming and I found it comforting the way that Emma felt comfortable with them right away. I was traveling and staying at a hotel because of a family wedding. When so sm in town again I will definitely use them to take care of Emma. (My12 year old Shiipoo).”
“This was our first Rover experience and it was awesome! Our beagle Penny loved Aryal! Definitely rebooking with her and we are just thrilled that we found such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby!! Everything went so smoothly - from the initial meeting to picking up Penny when we returned. It is such a relief to know our furry family member is being treated so well and we don't have to worry about her since Aryal has so much experience with dogs!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Mikayla is amazing! Our girls absolutely love her. We are people who never like to leave our dogs and Mikayla has made our lives easier by loving and caring for our girls the way she does. Thank you so much for being so wonderful.”
“When my sitter cancelled the day before my best friend's wedding, Katrina truly saved the day. I so appreciated her speedy response and willingness to book last minute. I also loved the pictures and videos of my pup playing with her boys throughout the day!”
About: Hello, my name is Crystal. I'm conveniently located in Monticello, Iowa. It's halfway between Cedar Rapids and Dubuque. I've been around animals my whole life, especially dogs and cats. Growing up, we had quite a variety of pets. We had various tropical fishes, dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even snakes. I am a reliable, trustworthy, and detail oriented person. I will provide your loved one(s) with the best care while looking after them. You can contact me anytime for a Meet & Greet. I'm available for short & long-term care. My hours are flexible because I mostly work from home. This allows me to provide immediate care, lots of attention, and repeat help when needed. I believe that Communication is key for trust. Your pets safety, and environment are my #1 priority. I'll regularly send updates with photos. Let me know how you like things done.
“Shannon was amazing with our golden retriever, Max. He was spoiled rotten and loved on while we were on vacation. I think Max was a little depressed to come home and leave Shannon and her family. She was great about communicating how he was doing and asking questions if she had any.”
About: Dog sitting is more than potty breaks and bowls of kibble, it's loving an animal like they're your own, and I'm the best at what I do! I've had dogs all my life, and in addition to personal pet care I've worked in the pet business from the very beginning of my career. I've got a background in the veterinary world as well as a tour through the doggy boarding, daycare, and even training! I've done all the training and certifications to make me the very best in the industry! I understand the needs and behaviors of different dogs and can provide appropriate care based on their age, breed, and individual personality. I've got you covered down the very last detail! Your furry friend needs medication? I'm certified to administer everything from pills to insulin shots! Specialty diet? I'm minding every detail! Working with me is giving your dog a best friend who cares about them, from the tip of their nose to the top of their tail! I'm a stay at home wife, so I'm available all day every day to give your animal all the attention in the world! When you book with me you get the best of the best! If I'm in your home I'm a well mannered guest, I make the bed, do the dishes, and take out the trash. I leave it how you left it, my goal is for you to question if I was even there! When in my own home your animals have the run of our home during the day and a comfortable bed at night! I have two well socialized, well trained, pups who love to play but know when to settle and relax. We do kennel our dogs for their own comfort as they get restless when alone, but I offer a kennel free boarding experience!
About: I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your fur babies. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have! Generally, my pup gets some play time and exercise in the morning before work, during lunch, and then after work. During work hours, they hang with me in my office playing with toys, enjoying a chewy treat or just cuddling and napping while I work. I have a friendly dog who loves to play (he can be a little vocal - it's the terrier in him) and will be happy to give your fur baby some company. I allow my dog on the furniture and beds, but if you prefer not to, I am happy to adjust per your need. Let me know if your dogs need a specific routine or have play preferences. My main goal is to make sure their time with me is stress-free and they miss you as little as possible.
