“Tiffany, thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Windsir as always!! It truly means a lot to know he is in such kind and attentive hands. Your patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals really shows, and it makes all the difference. Windsor was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful. Thank you again for treating him like one of your own! 🐾”
“Ashley was JUST what we were looking for in a dog sitter. I was very apprehensive on using someone we didn’t know, however hated the idea of dog boarding in kennels. We talked on the phone and met with the dogs prior to the stay. Ashley was very detail-oriented with what we wanted/needed for the dogs and kept us informed with messages and pictures while we were gone. We loved the service Ashley provided and plan to use her in the future!!! Thanks again, Ashely! We REALLY appreciate your log for dogs and your ability to make us comfortable with leaving our fur babies!!! 10 out of 10 for Miss Ashley!”
“Josh has been so wonderful to our Lacey Lou. She is so relaxed and comfortable for him and even took her first car ride with him. She's such a dork. We appreciate Josh very much and will definitely be using him again. Thank you Josh!!!!”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!”
“Sara did a wonderful at caring for our boy. She accommodated his dietary needs and kept him away from toys that he likes to eat. Highly recommend. Will use her again when needed.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Our somewhat clingy mini aussidoodle stayed with Ali when we were out of town for a weekend. Ali did an amazing job looking after Murphy. I felt very comfortable leaving Murphy in her care. Ali is a wonderful communicator who is higly knowledgeable about dogs of every size and character. She has a clear understanding and compassion for all of her canine friends. She sent several pictures of their walks and adventures. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Murphy! I highly recommend Ali as a sitter and will definitely book with her again. Five stars!!”
“Paul was awesome! My doggies had a great time and I know they were well cared for. Winnie was so tired at pick up, so I know she played a lot with his little dog which gave Ellie some time to relax. Appreciated the update during the stay to make sure all was well! Thank you Paul! Especially with a short notice weekend stay for two doggies. Thank you!”
“Our little Ronnie was comfortable with Sana the first time he met her. She gave him her undivided attention the entire time he stayed with her. She walked him over 2 1/2 miles during the day and we believe he loved every minute of it. She even got up at 3 am with Ronnie to make sure he got outside to go potty. She sent photos of Ronnie so we could see how good he was doing while we were away from him. We highly recommend Sana and we will be looking for Sana, first, every time we need a dog sitter for Ronnie. Thank you Sana!”
“Kat was a wonderful, caring sitter for our dog. She was very attentive to our requests, sent lots of pictures, and spent lots of time with our dog. It was obvious on picking up our dog that she enjoyed her stay with Kat.”
“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“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.”
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.

“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda for our cats, and it was a fantastic experience! Amanda took great care of them, shared pictures daily, made sure to love on them during every visit and was responsive to our messages/questions throughout the booking. It was hugely reassuring to know our cats were in good hands while we were away - and we will be sure to book with her for our next trip!”
“Makenna is always so reliable and wonderful to our fur babies. Thank you for being so flexible around our schedules and we love your detailed updates while we are stuck at work.”

“Karley did a fantastic job of watching our dogs. We definitely will use her again and would recommend her to anyone! Came back to happy dogs and a well kept house! Thank you Karley!”
“This is the first sitter I was truly happy with and plan to rebook with her. She was absolutely amazing and I never had to remind her about anything at all. Very responsive and punctual. Extremely caring and I would highly recommend her.”
“Sana is amazing!!! She watched my cats for 2.5 weeks (the longest I have ever left them). While she was there, my cats managed to knock my jewelery off the shelf and into the nearby cat litter bin. Sana went through the cat litter to get my jewelry. In addition to that, she was amazing about everything else! She sent so many pictures and my house is nice and clean and my cats seem happy. I will definitely be trying to hire her again!”
“Ashleigh is an absolute delight! I Invited her into my home and put her in charge of Missy's care with all the confidence that Ashleigh will take great care of both. She is positive, delightful, caring, kind and considerate. I trust her with my most precious things! Thank you, Ashleigh.”
About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.
About: I’ve taken care of many different cars for years, having lived on a farm growing up we had many litters of cats come through. Therefore giving me the knowledge and experience to care for your fur babies while you’re at work.

“Amanda was great with Ellie and was excellent at communication. She explained the process well and helped us to feel like our dog was in great hands while we needed to be away. I highly recommend her!”
“Amanda took great care of my bubbies! I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the day with updates and pictures so that I knew they were adjusting well.”
“First time with Ashleigh. Wilson seemed to have a great time. Got lots of pics. Ashleigh is an excellent communicator and a sweet person. I wish she was closer to me. I would have her sit very often.”
“This was my first time leaving my doggo with anyone from River and Ali was amazing! She was able to care for Benito, my Golden Retriever for a long day while I went to visit family just outside of town. She sent me updates regularly and Benito had a great time. She was super mindful of the cold weather and made sure Benito was safe from too extreme temperatures and still made sure to get some exercise and play time in. I appreciate Ali and know to reach out to her again when I need someone trustworthy to watch him for me whenever needed.”

I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company.

About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable. We love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends!

We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

“Our goldendoodle Gus had a wonderful day with Shannon and her husband! Thank you for making Gus feel welcome in your beautiful home. He was one tired pup when he got home from all the walks and playtime with the stuffed toys!”

Plenty of outside breaks and keeps him well hydrated which I really appreciate. I’m looking forward to continue bringing Bellamy to him!”
“Abbey is an absolute dynamite find for dog care! We were looking for some regular doggie daycare for our dog after our other dog passed away. He was upset and nervous when left alone. We found Abbey and she had been so sweet and kind…wow! Her yard and house are amazing. I wanted to stay and play in the yard myself! All the other dogs in her care were well mannered and immediately welcomed our dog. Now when we go to her house he bounds up her steps wiggling and beyond excited. You can tell he loves her and going there”
“I felt super comfortable leaving Penny with Emily and her family. They loved on Penny while I worked all day. Penny was always excited to go to doggy day care and super happy when I picked her up from a long day of playing. I would definitely use Emily again and recommend her for any of your fur babies.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have had many neighbors back home request my dog sitting services. I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a NICU nurse at the University. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have always loved being around them. My husband, Taylor, and I live in a home with a fully fenced backyard along with our 3-year-old son and, part-time, my 11-year-old stepdaughter, who insists she’ll have 10 dogs of her own someday—haha! We also have an almost 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle. He lost his big brother a few years ago, and while now isn’t the right time for us to add another dog to our family, we thought hosting some furry playmates would be a fun way to keep him happy and social. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we’re only able to host dogs under about 35 pounds, as larger dogs tend to make ours anxious. He’s very used to playing with his 8–10-pound Yorkie cousins during the holidays and absolutely loves having canine friends to run around with! I work 12hr shifts on both Saturday and Sunday, then I am home all week. My husband is home on the weekends, so someone is always home. We allow dogs in our beds and on our couch. I am aware of poisonous foods and plants to dogs. I also make sure to follow instructions!
“Auden was fantastic! Communication was great throughout the day along with photos of our pup playing and on walks! We definitely would love Auden to watch our dog again!”

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was born and now I have my own. I have also dog sat for people and treat them like my own. My job is very flexible so I can come and go as needed to spend time with your babies! I work during the week and have the weekends off! I do offer constant care but higher prices will incur. I have a semi fenced yard and can take them out on leashes to be safe. I also have a fur baby to keep your dog company.
“Megan does an amazing job with my dog Cooper! Cooper absolutely adores her. She walks him, plays with him, & gives him lots of love. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone!”
About: I provide personalized care, puppy training support, and gentle senior care, ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while maintaining routines and clear communication. I’m currently working part-time as a dog daycare attendant, and pet care fits naturally into my routine with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and reliable experience. I follow pets’ routines per the client for feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and medications, keeping spaces clean and safe while providing care in the client’s home.
About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.

I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels and understand the importance of keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine. As I have 5 fur babies of my own. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving pets plenty of attention and love.

I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I have always had cats and dogs in my own home. Life long animal lover. I will treat your pet like my own while you trust them in my care. I am a social worker (not a 9-5 job) so I have the flexibility to check on your pet at various times throughout the day. I have a fenced in back yard. I am also strong enough to walk your larger dogs. I can also just sit down and give them all the love and pets they need.
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I believe pets deserve a high quality of care. I have adopted dogs and cats in the past. At the moment I only have cats and miss having a doggy friend to walk and give rubs. I am comfortable with all sizes of animals and whatever special needs they may have, just wanna keep the fur babies happy. Currently my schedule allows me to be available: Saturdays and Sundays 10am-7pm Mondays-Friday 8am-6pm If you need different time accommodations message me and I can see what I can do. I don’t offer pet sitting in my home because of my 3 cats. I don’t want to create a stressful environment for any animals. In my clients home I will make sure they have plenty of exercise thru play and going for walks, clean water and sufficient food (accommodating special diet if necessary). Provide a safe environment for them to feel comfortable. I will abide to any and all rules the client has for their home and will keep my own footprint in their home small and clean up after myself.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have pets of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I regularly help out friends and family by checking in on their pets from feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they’re safe and happy. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new, so my main priority is keeping their routine exactly the way they like it. Whether your dog needs a solid walk to burn off energy, or your cat just needs fresh food, a clean box, and some quiet company, I’m happy to help. I'll also send quick photo updates during every visit so you know everything is going smoothly! I structure my days so I can dedicate solid, uninterrupted time for visits. Because I stay organized, I show up when promised and never have to rush through a visit. Whether your dog needs a midday walk to break up the workday or your cat needs an evening meal and play session, your pet gets my full attention the entire time I'm there. Leaving your home and pets in someone else's hands takes a lot of trust. When I’m in your space, safety and respect come first. I always double check that doors are locked, gates are latched, and leashes are secure. I stick strictly to your exact instructions, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, or specific house rules, so you can go about your day without worrying, knowing your pets are safe and your house stays just the way you left it. Safety Note: For the safety of both your dog and myself, I do not use retractable leashes. Please have a standard 4- to 6-foot leash available for our walks!
About: I have dog sat for everyone I know. I am the first person someone asks to dog sit. I provide lots of care, attention, and play for dogs. I enjoy walking and spending time with as many dogs as possible! Over the summer I have a very flexible schedule! When school starts back I will be available early afternoon’s on weekdays. I work in the schools so I am free when students have no school. My weekends are also very open. I have a field with trees near my apartment that dogs seem to absolutely love! I live alone with no animals so all attention and focus will be on the doggie!
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl. We always had animals in our house & I have been a pet sitter for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, fish, & smaller animals like hamsters. I love animals of every kind & having many of my own, I understand how important it is to trust who is taking care of your pets. I am currently working full time but my schedule is very flexible so I am able to move things around to accommodate when it is needed. Having pets of my own, I understand different tasks are needed. My services are walks, feeding, watering, letting outside, cleaning up after pets, baths, and pretty much anything needed!
About: Hi! I’m Allyson, a dedicated animal lover located on the SE side of Cedar Rapids. I offer reliable, loving dog walking and care with a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I have hands-on pet-sitting and walking experience with a variety of animals. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, with breed experience ranging from Chihuahuas and Bulldogs to Shelties and German Shepherds. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience pet sitting and fostering bunnies and understand their unique care, routines, and gentle handling needs I grew up in a home where animals were family- helping care for cats, a Miniature Schnauzer, and a Golden Doodle. As an adult, I’ve rescued multiple kittens, cared for a Saint Bernard, fostered two bunnies, and I currently have two cats of my own. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including rescue animals. After losing my own dogs, I’m not quite ready to adopt again—but I have plenty of love, patience, and attention to give to yours. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow your instructions closely. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently working part-time in the evenings, so I have a very flexible schedule in the morning and early afternoon. I also have weekend availability as needed! Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, routines, and any special needs so every walk is calm, positive, and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including leash preferences, feeding or medication needs, and behavioral cues. Dogs are always kept on leash unless otherwise agreed, and I stay alert to surroundings, traffic, and other animals to ensure safe, controlled walks. I treat every dog as if they were my own and believe trust is built through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after each walk so you always know how your pup is doing.

“Tiffany, thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Windsir as always!! It truly means a lot to know he is in such kind and attentive hands. Your patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals really shows, and it makes all the difference. Windsor was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful. Thank you again for treating him like one of your own! 🐾”
“Ashley was JUST what we were looking for in a dog sitter. I was very apprehensive on using someone we didn’t know, however hated the idea of dog boarding in kennels. We talked on the phone and met with the dogs prior to the stay. Ashley was very detail-oriented with what we wanted/needed for the dogs and kept us informed with messages and pictures while we were gone. We loved the service Ashley provided and plan to use her in the future!!! Thanks again, Ashely! We REALLY appreciate your log for dogs and your ability to make us comfortable with leaving our fur babies!!! 10 out of 10 for Miss Ashley!”
“Josh has been so wonderful to our Lacey Lou. She is so relaxed and comfortable for him and even took her first car ride with him. She's such a dork. We appreciate Josh very much and will definitely be using him again. Thank you Josh!!!!”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“Sara did a wonderful at caring for our boy. She accommodated his dietary needs and kept him away from toys that he likes to eat. Highly recommend. Will use her again when needed.”
“Our somewhat clingy mini aussidoodle stayed with Ali when we were out of town for a weekend. Ali did an amazing job looking after Murphy. I felt very comfortable leaving Murphy in her care. Ali is a wonderful communicator who is higly knowledgeable about dogs of every size and character. She has a clear understanding and compassion for all of her canine friends. She sent several pictures of their walks and adventures. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Murphy! I highly recommend Ali as a sitter and will definitely book with her again. Five stars!!”
“Paul was awesome! My doggies had a great time and I know they were well cared for. Winnie was so tired at pick up, so I know she played a lot with his little dog which gave Ellie some time to relax. Appreciated the update during the stay to make sure all was well! Thank you Paul! Especially with a short notice weekend stay for two doggies. Thank you!”
“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“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.”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”
“Katrina and her family were wonderful! This was the first time my dog has stayed with someone other than family. He was pretty nervous at first and I could tell he didn’t want me to leave but they made him feel at home. Katrina sent me a picture to let me know he calmed down and warmed up to their house. I felt so relaxed knowing he was at a loving home. I definitely recommend Katrina and will definitely use her again when we leave town.”
About: Drop ins: I’ll take your dog on a little walk before feeding them and spending time with your little furry love (20-30 minutes or so) Walking: I’ll take your pooch for a walk and/or run for as long as they require. House sitting: we will go on walks, snuggle, eat and I will be respectful of the owners home- clean up after myself and the animal so you come home to a nice clean home and you don’t have to rush to take care of your beloved fur baby! Boarding: not my preferred method of watching your pooch but if it’s absolutely needed, I can accommodate to make your pooch feel warm and welcome in my home.I have 2 large male dogs and a 2 year old- they’re great but getting older and less tolerant of other dogs.
“Jason is great, he’s been watching my lab for a few months now in a weekly basis and has board him a few times as well. Bellamy is always happy to go in and he’s tired when I pick him up from playing with Glacier and other friends. He sends me pictures and keeps me updated. I travel often for work and knowing that he’s reliable and takes very good care of him when I’m away makes me feel better about leaving. Thank you Jason and see you soon!”
“Adela was amazing! She watched Honey for us for 2 nights and she was very responsive and sent a ton of pictures :) Honey loved the yard and playing with Adela’s dogs. Would definitely book again!”
