“Wendy is the best. She has watched or dog Timmy many times now and is so great with him. She truly is passionate about dogs and goes above and beyond when caring for them. She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. She sent us photos and video each day to ensure we knew Timmy was doing well. We are so thankful we found Wendy!”
“This is our first Rover booking and we couldn't be happier. Brooke did an excellent job of making sure our "new to us" rescue dog had a good experience. Amee got to read stories at bedtime and take walks with the family. She'll be back for more fun.”
“Steve and Tilaine were the best host to our rescue pup. Steve sent us pupdates and pics. and lila was the best/ chillest doggie companion for our buddy. We felt like our dog was made a part of there family. Im so excited our pup has a family to stay with next time we’re in Ames!”
About: I know how energetic dogs are, and I am as well so we’re a perfect match! I can keep them entertained while they are also making my day so much brighter! I am a full time student but classes do not take up much of my day! I love to go on long walks and I can entertain any dog for hours. I can do late afternoons and mornings, as well as nights if need be. I have 2 dogs at home, but here at college I do not have any pets. My apartment does allow pets so it would be no problem to have them over:) I also have the option of a fenced in yard if your little pup prefers to run around freely.
“Sasha is amazing. It's been an incredibly stressful week for me due to having to pack up and move. She was incredibly accommodating. She also took really good care of my senior IVDD dog. This is my first time using Rover and she's an excellent representative for them.”
“Communicated really fast with us, asked us important questions she needed to know about our dog Teddy, and Teddy came home really tired (which is a very good thing). Thank you so much for taking care of my dog!”
“Samantha was amazing! She send me photos and updates of Carl and was so helpful to do a late pickup because of my flight delay. I would definitely feel safe and happy if I get to board Carl with her.”
“Nicole was a great sitter. Rowen was happy and well taken care of. This is the first time she had been left for this long with a sitter who wasn’t a close friend and we were anxious. Nicole put our minds at ease, sent pictures and updates. She answered all of my nervous Nelly questions. We will definitely be calling on her again.”
“Leo had a great time with Johanna! It was kind of a late notice trip and she was able to accommodate having Leo for 4 days. So nice having someone local and right here in town. She sent a pic each day and let me know how he was doing. He will be very excited to go back when we need to board him again! Leo gives a 5 paw rating! ??”
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was a child. Life is so much better with a dog in it. I’ll walk, play, and love on them. As a pet sitter I can offer experience, training, a willingness to follow instructions and most of all, reliability. I’m currently working from home so I will be available when you need me I’m really flexible and try to work with you to make your fur babies stay less stressful for you and them I have a fenced in backyard and two fur babies to help keep company lots of love, playtime and attention will be given. we also have lots of toys. If need to be by themself and not around other dogs, that’s an option also. we love to also take walks if requested ❤️🦮🐕🦺🐈

“We had an amazing experience with Leah and her family! Their home and land is perfect for dogs to run and play and their dog Bear is a great playmate. She took lots of pictures and communicated frequently so we had no questions or worries as to how our dog was doing while. 10/10 would recommend and we will be using her again!”
