We were nervous leaving our semi-newly adopted puppy anywhere, but also wanted to visit family for the holidays that we had not seen in awhile. We couldn't have chosen a better family! The whole family took such great care of our Mango with lots of love, runs, and snuggles. Thank you for all the pics! Helped my kids make it through our trip!

Samantha and her husband Raheem took such good care of my baby. He can be quite anxious and high energy and they made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. She had great communication throughout the stay and sent plenty of adorable photo updates. My boy is not the easiest dog to watch, and they were amazing!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. They treat your pup like their own!

About: I love all types of pets. I’m very affectionate, attentive to details, responsible, high energy. Pets make me feel less anxious and I love them in my lap I am available any after before 8 am and after 4 pm for a walk or feed the pets. All day during the weekends to watch them. Any day during the week for overnight care I take them everyday once a day and let them go outside to pee and poo because I have a danced yard. I feed my dog twice a day, and give a bath every 2 weeks. I these her every other day. Control fleas and worm every month, and take her for nail trim every 3 weeks.

Courtney was generous with her time and visited our home before the drop-in visits. I appreciate her patience with Mr. Harvey, as he doesn't take medication easily. With every drop-in, Courtney shared photos and left useful notes that addressed our concerns. It's a relief to know that there is a caring cat-sitter in town who is patient with our senior kitty.

Izabelle showed a lot of interest and care for our cat at our initial meeting. She was very dependable and followed our care instructions. She sent several photos of our cat after each visit, though I did have to prompt her to send me messages as to how our big boy was doing overall. She immediately complied, though the messages were brief. When we arrived home it was nice to find our home just as we had left it, as well as a a happy cat who obviously had not missed any meals or treats. I would definitely use Izabelle again

Kevin has been helping us with my aunt's cat who needs daily medication. He is professional, friendly, quick to respond, and most importantly, Cleo is getting her pills. He also sends us a photo of her after each visit which we find funny (she doesn't look too happy after being pilled but she does have a lot of attitude!) and also comforting to know she is being taken care of by someone who knows what he is doing and enjoys it.

About: Animals hold a special place in my soul that I can't describe. Each pet brings me joy to take care of. I've had a few pets over the years; right now a 7 year old Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu named Snoopy. I've also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for the past two years. I started college as an Art Education major, but quickly changed to Animal Science. My goal is to work as an animal caretaker at the Omaha Zoo. I'm taking 12 credits at Iowa State, so I am busy but my schedule is flexible. I am pretty available to stop in between classes and in the mornings/evenings. Weekends are often free, but sometimes I go visit my family nearby. I have an apartment so I can't take pets to my place. I am available for check-ins and walks obviously. Throughout high school and these past two years, I've been trusted to care for pets in neighbors and strangers homes, and at a dog boarding and daycare facility in Des Moines.

Thank you so much for watching Grover. Nothing is better than bringing home a tired and cuddly puppy. I enjoyed talking with you both and I have to admit I had a little bit of a teary moment on my way home. The environment of your backyard with friends and family as well as just your welcoming energy reminded me so much of what it was like when my Uncle Ryan was still around. He passed unexpectedly in 2016, leaving behind my Aunt Krista and their two young girls, Claire was 7 and Hannah was 5. My aunt and uncle loved each other so deeply and enjoyed hosting family and friends regularly. I am extremely grateful that you reminded me of those memories I had forgotten about. Please continue to have people over and share these moments with each other! So again, thank you for proving a loving home for my puppy to stay while also bringing back some wonderful memories for me, even though it was unknowingly. Grover and I will 100% be back to visit again!

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.

About: I have cared for dogs and animals since I was 10. Family and neighbors alike have relied on me to take care of their animals, whether it was drop-in visits, walking, or daycare; I did it all and have excellent experience raising my fur babies. I love animals, and I cannot wait to make your life easier! I am a senior at Iowa State as a triple major studying English, Criminal Justice, & Technical Communication with aspirations of becoming a multi-genre author. In my downtime of not studying or working on being an entrepreneur, I give my animals lots of attention and make yummy paw treats for my fur babies! I am currently working at a different job from 11a-8pm Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Saturday. I am available for day care, on the weekends of Sun and Mon. I am available for boarding, drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting any time. * It is always best to contact me first to ask me if I am available!! * When you choose me for your needs I will have plenty of time to care of your fur babies! I am dedicated and motivated to help you with your pet's needs and make your and your fur babies' lives easier. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of space for your fur baby to run around. I also have a lot of house for your lovely pet to play and relax in. I have a cat and a small adult dog breed for your baby to play with and have company while they are here for boarding or day care. I offer other services as well, so I try to make my home as comfortable and safe as possible for my personal pets and my clients' fur babies.

Orion is always exhausted after spending a day with Cameron. Cameron spends their time together teaching him and making sure he interacts well with the other pups. Orion is always excited to go to daycare!

Shweta was amazing with my three month old puppy. He looks forward to seeing her! Shweta took the time to chat with me on the phone prior and was great with any special directives for the puppy. It was a very easy and pleasant experience! 10/10 recommended! Definitely eased my mind while leaving him for the first time :)

Paige agreed to watch my dog on very short notice, which I appreciated! From my initial contact, her communication was great. During my dog's day with her, she sent photos and updates. When I picked up my dog, he was happy and tired. I think my high energy pup made a new friend with Paige!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the course of my life. I lived nearly two decades on a farm where animals would often get dropped off and I’d care for them for the remainder of their lives. I worked at a veterinary hospital for 3 years and have 4 cats and a dog of my own. I’ve cared for many friend’s pets while they’re out of town, including both cats and dogs with medical needs. I have a passion for helping others and their furry family members! I believe all animals are deserving of our unconditional love and attention. When life calls you away, I’m happy to step in and ensure they get the utmost care. I’m experienced in giving animals medication, including insulin, and have worked with many different types of collars, leashes, and harnesses. I’ll do my absolute best to care for them in the way you prefer them to be cared for and am happy to take time to make a plan for the care that you expect. I’m also aware of signs and symptoms to look for in an emergency situation and have phone numbers and resources on hand to ensure they get the best care, with your permission. I love sending photos to my clients to show them what a great time we’re having together! Having worked full time at a veterinary hospital, care of animals and their owners was a part of my daily life! I try to accommodate all schedules to the best of my ability and am flexible with my schedule. I treat each pet and home as if it were my own. I spoil my pets and would love to do the same for yours. I work individually with you to come up with a visit plan that is tailored to your pet's needs and prioritize communications with you going forward to ensure your expectations are getting met. I relay any immediate concerns that I have during a visit by calling you or directly messaging you. Otherwise, you can expect a summary of the visit, with images, at the end of my visit with your pet(s).

About: I have over 2000 hours caring for shelter cats. I am the guardian of five cats. I'm comfortable around shy cats, kittens, old cats, all cats! I can administer simple medication if needed. I'm extremely patient and will take the time to let your cat get comfortable with me, or back away if your cat is stressed. I would love to play with your cat! I love cuddles! I love chillin' from a distance if that's what your cat needs. I'm a responsible adult and will follow the directions you leave for me. Your trip away from home will be worry-free in my care. I can also provide excellent care for small animals. Growing up I had a summer job caring for rabbits and a rabbit of my own who lived to be 12 years old! I also had a pet guinea pig named Oreo. I know how hard it is to find sitters for "exotic" pets. I grew up with family members with dogs (Rocky, Max, Snick, and Ginger) and have shelter experience with dogs as well. I want to meet your doggo! I have flexible job hours and can work around your schedule. I have a car and am not afraid to drive in inclement weather conditions. With my own cats, I feed them twice per day and give them hours of cuddle time. My experience at animal shelters has given me a lot of experience approaching cats with different personality types.

About: I used to work as a certified dog trainer and managed a daycare / boarding facility for 2 years. I was an employee there for longer. 12 hour days every day with dogs of all types. I know how to administer medications, including insulin. I also know how to handle myself in emergency situations, I've learned dog first aid and I've broken up fights in my time that would've been deadly if I wasn't there. I am currently a general contractor making my schedule very open, my wife loves helping with pets of all kinds as well which allows for more care opportunities. The only thing that wouldn't likely work would be multiple days of house sitting IF I am not able to leave for 3-4 hours at a time. I have a hard time spending an extended amount of time not being able to see my infant son! I'll do whatever someone wants for their pet, assuming it's reasonable. I'm okay on multiple large walks, extended play time outside, anything like that is 100% okay. From dogs- cows- fish we would love to help provide dependable care and always ensure your pets are treated with the upmost respect and attention they deserve!

About: Animals hold a special place in my soul that I can't describe. Each pet brings me joy to take care of. I've had a few pets over the years; right now a 7 year old Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu named Snoopy. I've also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for the past two years. I started college as an Art Education major, but quickly changed to Animal Science. My goal is to work as an animal caretaker at the Omaha Zoo. I'm taking 12 credits at Iowa State, so I am busy but my schedule is flexible. I am pretty available to stop in between classes and in the mornings/evenings. Weekends are often free, but sometimes I go visit my family nearby. I have an apartment so I can't take pets to my place. I am available for check-ins and walks obviously. Throughout high school and these past two years, I've been trusted to care for pets in neighbors and strangers homes, and at a dog boarding and daycare facility in Des Moines.

About: I’ve watched many dogs and two cats over the past 4 years usually over family friend vacations. I’ve worked with reactive dogs as well as two young puppies. I spoil my dogs and would be happy to treat your pets with just as much love! I am a part time college student so I have a TON of time to pet sit! As I prepare for dental school in the fall, I will also be free for summer work. I love staying with dogs in either an environment they are used to or my own depending on what the pet parent prefers! There is a fenced in dog park behind my apartment that is never occupied where I run around with dogs. If it is occupied, I would walk around the park nearby with lots to smell on the trail. I also love giving dog baths, so that could totally be included!

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.

About: Hi! I’m Luana, a 23-year-old veterinary technician with professional experience in veterinary medicine, doggy daycare, and boarding. I’ve also been dog sitting for family and friends since 2018. I am passionate about animal welfare and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own. Monday to Friday: after 6:30 pm (drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting) Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays: Very flexible (drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting) I currently offer care in my clients’ homes, as my cat prefers to be the only pet in the household. I believe pets are often most comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and experience less stress. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. As a veterinary technician, I am experienced in recognizing signs of illness or discomfort and always prioritize the safety, health, and well-being of the pets in my care. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.

We were nervous leaving our semi-newly adopted puppy anywhere, but also wanted to visit family for the holidays that we had not seen in awhile. We couldn't have chosen a better family! The whole family took such great care of our Mango with lots of love, runs, and snuggles. Thank you for all the pics! Helped my kids make it through our trip!

Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!

Sarah did a great job spending two weeks with our St. Bernard! She sent updates and pictures and was super accommodating. We would use Sarah again in a flash!

Samantha and her husband Raheem took such good care of my baby. He can be quite anxious and high energy and they made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. She had great communication throughout the stay and sent plenty of adorable photo updates. My boy is not the easiest dog to watch, and they were amazing!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. They treat your pup like their own!

Amanda has a great setup that allows for dogs to meet carefully and so bolters can't run out. She sent lots of pictures and Mango came back happy and tired. Thanks for accommodating us at the last minute!

Meagan was so wonderful with our dog, Jemma! We didn't worry about a thing while we were out of town. Meagan was organized, kind and thoughtful!

They took great care of our pup! We loved receiving the photo updates and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well loved the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pet.

Amy and Casey were great with our two girls. They came home excited to see us but definitely were in great hands with them. They enjoyed their walks and time with Amy, Casey and family.

Our 2 dogs had a great time during their 1-week stay with Alysha and her family! She was consistently quick to respond and sent pictures daily, which we really appreciated! Our dogs enjoyed the mini pool in her backyard and many treats. We have no complaints from their stay with her! Would re-book if needed in the future!

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.

She did great with Titus! He seemed very happy and after our quick walk before getting in the car he started to head back toward her house. I think he had a good time!
