Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ackley

“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!”

“Susan was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I never used Rovee before so I was really cautious and overall pretty scared but Susan assured me she'd take great care of Char while I was traveling. I received pictures and videos daily of char as well as text updates. In the videos alone I could tell my dog was not only happy but he felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Susan!”

“I think Jennifer is amazing and my dogs absolutely loved her and she did an amazing job with them. I will bring them to her from now on. Thank you so much.”

“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 love to walk with dogs. My dog Buddy and I have walked and ran countless miles around Cedar Falls for the past 9 years. I believe that every dog can benefit from exploring the environment outdoors, and regular exercise is very important, so I would love to make that happen for them. My schedule is very flexible so we can meet at a time that is convenient for you. My dog enjoys longer walks during the later morning time and/or at night with a playtime scheduled in between. Just message me and I will get back to you soon! My senior dog has lots of energy because we have exercised quite often together throughout the years. When we are not walking or running, we enjoy spending time on our balcony, watching tv together, and playing with toys. Buddy loves to run and play with giant bouncy balls. I would love to spend time with your pet and/or take them for a walk.

“This was my 4th time using Rover, & my 2nd booking with Dylan, & very happy to have trusted my boys with her! Her rates are gr8, & she's been very responsive! The 1st time I booked with Dylan in July 2023, I only had my senior, 13 year old cat, Jack. Now, I have a new guy, Stache. Jack is also now fully blind WITH Special Needs (not on medication, thankfully!) while Stache has a few possible behaviors & Dylan was able to follow my instructions for their care, & they did great! I don't have another trip planned, but it's a relief to know Dylan is super reliable, & will hopefully be available! Thanks for the caring care!”

About: Hi there! I have lots of professional experience caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve worked at several doggy daycares, including Camp Run-a-Mutt, where I became comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. When I lived in Atlanta, I also worked for a professional pet-sitting company for two years. I traveled throughout the city providing dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for all different kinds of pets. I absolutely love animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and would love the opportunity to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve! :) I'm currently working as a part-time barista, so I have plenty of time to fit in some pet sitting! My schedule is flexible! I take your instructions very seriously, and will care for your pets in the best way possible. Theirs and yours happiness are my top priority!

“These 2 were so wonderful! They took care of our sick kitty so well. He looked comfortable and happy in all their update pictures and they followed our feeding instructions to a T. 10/10 would recommend them.”
