Belle was very kind and I felt comfortable leaving Capone & Leo with her. When we came home, the boys were very happy and I could tell they liked having Belle with them as they were calm & comtent. Very quick to respond!

Brian was great to have for our 3 big dogs! He not only took great care of the dogs, but also left the house very clean, which was really nice to come home to! I definitely recommend Brian and will work with him again!

Bailey came and watched my dogs for a few hours while I went out. I have a new puppy who had only been in my family for 4 days, and I was too nervous to leave her alone for a few hours. Bailey was great. She sent lots of pictures and took the puppy out for potty breaks several times (because of small puppy bladders). This was the second time I’ve used Bailey, and she’ll be my first choice every time.

Sierra was wonderful. She sent regular updates, asked questions when she was unsure, and left our home as clean as we left it. Sierra even picked up a large outdoor plant that was knocked over during severe wind. I have already booked her for another pet sitting job next month and would recommend her to anyone!

Can I give Lindsay 🐾 10 stars?! She did such a great job taking care of our dog and our property! She went above and beyond, not only caring for our dog but our garden and pool as well! She didn’t leave a single trace behind letting us know she was even here! She is extremely responsible and caring! I hope she will come back again! We couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Lindsay 🐾♥️

About: I've had experience with all kinds of animals from cattle and horses to dogs, cats, and rabbits. I'm currently an undergrad student at ISU geared towards pre vet studies. I'm available in the mornings before class, and in the afternoon after class. On Fridays I am available after noon and majority of my weekends I'm free for pet care services. I can care for pets in clients home while respecting the privacy of their house, the only thing I ask is that I'm allowed to work on some homework or study while carrying for a pet.

Ellie was phenomenal! We are new to Rover and were worried about leaving our dogs with a new person, but she was very communicative and sent lots of updates which put our minds at ease. The dogs seemed to enjoy her and her energy. We would definitely recommend Ellie and work with her again!

About: I’ve had my own cat for 3 years and my roommate used to have a dog that I helped take care of! We took naps together daily and walking her was the highlight of my day :) I work part time and my hours are different every week but I’m always free Monday, so Sunday nights are perfect for over night stays! I live in an apartment with two other roommates who love animals! I’m more than happy to keep my cat in the bathroom for the night if that would make your dog the most comfortable!

Taylor was amazing with our two corgis! One pup just had major emergency surgery and was healing great but was in a cone and on activity restriction + needed his incision checked daily. We had a trip planned that we thought about cancelling but knowing Taylor was very experienced in animal care we felt very comfortable with her watching our pup post-surgery. She provided lots of updates and was super quick to communicate with. We came home to happy pups and were able to enjoy our short trip knowing they were in such great hands. I’m the first to admit that I’m a helicopter dog mom and can be very picky when looking for a house/pet sitter and I’d recommend Taylor to anyone!

Erin stayed with our dog Bingo while we were on a recent trip. She did a wonderful job! Erin sent periodic updates via text message to keep us up to date on how things were going. Bingo loved her and was very well taken care of. The house was clean when we arrived home and she even watered our house plants! Thank you Erin!!
