“Our dogs have stayed at Melanie’s three times recently. One of our dog’s is a rescue and very scared everyone. They are both very well taken care of and look comfortable at Melanie’s. We won’t send our dogs to anyone else. Thank you!”
“Finley seemed to have a great time with Samantha and her family. He is often sad when we leave him and doesn’t eat and apparently that wasn’t the case. I greatly appreciated the pictures.”
“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“These guys are great! Very caring & attentive! Sent us a few pics while we were gone that put our minds at ease & even took Coco for a walk. Looking forward to them keeping her next time. Thank you for the great care of Coco!!”
“Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Ivana treated Max like he was her family. He was happy feeling part of the team with her dogs. He was pampered and loved. I will definitely use Ivana again.. so satisfied with her care for Max.🥰”
“I’m convinced Zion has officially claimed Meagan and her family as more members of his pack. 😂😂 He literally wouldn't leave her side at pickup and politely tucked himself into her hip and a corner of her staircase to avoid being leashed up! I love so much that he is “at home” on his visits to Meagan’s! Couldn't ask for better! 😍🙈”
“Angela and Dan provided amazing care for our dog, Thunder. They loved him as their own! They sent us updates and pics and made us feel very comfortable. They were very flexible with pick up and drop off. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Was our first time leaving our dog with someone else for overnight so high anxiety for us parents. Cliff was able to make our separation easier as our dog felt at home after out meet and greet. Perfect place for our dog!”
“Erin and Chris are amazing! Highly highly highly recommend using them to watch your fur babies!❤️ They sent plenty of pictures updating you on what your pet was doing. I felt very comfortable the entire time I was away! I will be using them every time I leave town!”
“Lara and Cary were so great with our dog, Nola! It was our first time leaving her after an incident at a local kennel this summer so we were worried and anxious. They sent several photos and updates and put our minds at ease. She had a nice, relaxing stay and we will definitely use them again and again!!”
“If I could give Jessica 10 stars, I absolutely would! She was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. Jessica made both Cleo and our entire family feel at ease. We had never left Cleo with anyone before, but from the photos, it was clear she felt right at home. We received daily updates, pictures, and walks, which reassured us that Cleo was in great hands. So grateful for Jessica and her husband!”
“Amanda spoiled our dog all weekend! Played catch and cuddled and let him take a nap in her lap (he's almost 100 lbs so that was above and beyond the call of duty)! Another plus is there were 4-5 large dogs for Osborne to play with in Amanda's fenced in backyard so he came home happily exhausted. Amanda was extremely flexible in drop off/pick up times which was greatly appreciated as we were heading out of town for the weekend. She also carefully monitored his food so he only ate his food and didn't sneak other dog food and get an upset stomach. Highly recommend Amanda!”
“Our pups love as staying at Alok's! They always are excited to be dropped off and have a great time while they're there. Alok sends us regular updates and photos on how they're doing. Thanks for watching our pups!”
“Sherilynn is literally the best!!! She is so caring and has fun things for the dogs to do. She sends pictures and videos, she picked my dog up for the weekend twice, took her through Starbucks to get a pup cup and even let us extend our stay short-notice. Cannot recommend enough!!!”
“Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!”
“Jordana was amazing with our girls! While we were away we had peace of mind that the dogs were getting walked, played with and loved on. We got pictures throughout our whole trip of the fun time they were having! I’m happy to have a reliable go to person for them to go to going forward.”

“Olivia did a great job of keeping me posted! Especially since she had to deal with my cranky cat . He is 3 years and has never been away from his mom!! There was a lot of hissing going on, and it wasn't Olivia ! Thank you Olivia for being so patient.”
About: I have been around cats my entire life and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I currently have two cats of my own who are truly spoiled and deeply loved! When caring for your cat, I will ensure their litter box is clean, their food and water are properly maintained, and they receive plenty of playtime and attention. For the safety of all pets in my care, I kindly ask that your animals are up to date on their vaccinations. In addition to pet care, I also offer light household cleaning services for an additional fee.

“Laurna is great with my dog Keira. She is very dependable and I trust her. It is good knowing that she is willing and able to handle my very high energy girl who is still learning manners, and the challenges that come with her breed and age. Her communication with me provides the information I need about how my dog is doing while I'm away.”
About: I have 3 cats of my own, each with their own set of personalities and different needs, so I know how important it is to you that you find the right person to take care of this special part of your family. I am committed to taking care of them as if they were my own. I am also experienced giving injections and oral medication.
“Karly is always amazing with our fur babies. She was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate a later shift for my husband and she stopped back to check on them so we didn’t have to worry. Love that she is so reliable and loves them like we do.”
About: I have spent much of my life taking care of different animals. I grew up on a farm handling chores for animals of all kinds from horses to dogs and cats. I currently have a 3 year old Maine Coon cat named Boston! I currently work mornings, typically 7-3 M-F. My hours vary depending on the week and what I am busy with at work. I work shifts on weekends and nights when needed I have a yard for your pet to run around in and play. I do have 3 other pets in my home that are properly vaccinated and friendly!
“Maya did an amazing job with our anxious pup. We unexpectedly had new neighbors move in above us the day before our trip. Maya did a great job at communicating how peanut was doing with the adjustment during the visits and provided lots of great photos as well.”
“Elliana was amazing! She took the time to come meet with us and our cat, Luci, before we went out of town. Every day during her drop by visits we got updates with photos! Definitely recommend!!”
“Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a young child, however I have been doing so professionally for 10 years. What sets me apart from other cat sitters is that I am also a full time vet tech and have been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. So I am uniquely qualified to administer all kinds of medications, including oral, transdermal, injectable and subcutaneous fluids.

“I dropped my 5 month old puppy off with Samantha and will definitely be bringing her back whenever I’m in town! Samantha sent me updated pictures, tracked everything my puppy did, worked with her on socializing skills and made sure she was having fun. By the time I picked her up she was worn out but so happy! Again she was awesome to work with, and I will be using her any time I’m in the area!”
“Jen was an absolute delight and took great care of both of my dogs! She was extremely accommodating and friendly! I highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her in the future as the need arises!”
“Ivana did an amazing job! She treated our puppies like they were family, and they looked forward to going to her place every day. We will definitely have our pups stay with Ivana again.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. It was easy to set up - our first time using rover. Communication was prompt - she was so pleasant and we felt very comfortable with our dog staying at her house. Can't say enough - she was great, and we would love to have more bookings with her.”
“This was the first time my dogs have gone over to her house and they loved it!! They loved hanging out with her dog and just being able to be around someone all day! She was very sweet and attentive to their needs!”
“Corkie loved her doggy day care time playing with Bailey and Iggy in their big backyard! This was her first time away from home and it went so well! Will definitely have Sherilynn watch her again!”
“I loved all the pictures of Rex throughout the day. They really made me feel that Rex was being well cared for. I loved seeing that he was able to relax in his surroundings and hang out with friends.”
About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.
“Tamara is just fantastic. She was great and attentive to my dog and her dogs are so sweet and got along perfectly with him! She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs! Such a wonderful family and home! She did such a great job at such a great price! I can’t recommend her enough! I will try and book her first when looking for anything regarding care for my dog! Thanks Tamara!”
About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.
“Our corgi spent the day for daycare and had a great time. Loved the picture updates throughout the day. Would definitely have her back for daycare again with Scott.”
“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”
“Jill & her family are awesome!! They treated Benji as if he was their own! We are nervous dog parents sending our pooch to just anyone, Jill eased our minds with a lovely meet & greet, updates throughout the day and filled us in on how Benji was at pick up time :) Would definitely recommend Jill!”
About: My experience in the dog industry goes beyond just boarding or sitting. I have the knowledge, skills, and experience training dogs of all ages and breeds, including service dogs. I currently work part time teaching group classes, leaving quite a bit of my time available to do other things involving dogs. In addition to a safe and friendly place to stay, your dog will get daily enrichment activities and, if needed, house manners training (go to place, leave it, keeping all 4 paws on the floor, going in/out of doorways). I work part-time training group classes, which allows me to have the time needed to care for the dogs staying with me. I'm available for boarding during the week, weekends, most holidays, single overnights and extended stays. My availability for day time sitting can vary but my calendar will always be updated with those times. All interactions between dogs are supervised to ensure those interactions are a positive experience and a safe experience. I don't have a fenced in yard so each time going outside is on leash, so leash manners will be worked on. I have crates and exercise pens for dogs who get crated at night. During meal times dogs are separated from each other as a precaution to prevent resource guarding. I do have a "gated community" inside my house to prevent mischief in the kitchen or going upstairs to bedrooms.
“Above and beyond, thats about how I describe Tanya and her family. We have a very shy rat terrier mix with high anxiety and in just a few minutes warmed up to this dog loving family and played like shes known them all her life. Spending the whole day (over 12 hours) we had absolutely no worries and nothing but pure confidence. The photos she took were fantastic! If you need someone to care for your fur baby for a while, look no further than Tanya!”
“Melanie and family were so friendly that my dogs—a 4- and a 12- year-old Havanese—relaxed immediately. Melanie met us in the yard and the dogs trotted away with her without looking back. The dogs were with her for 6 hours and she sent multiple photos and status updates. We would definitely ask Melanie to watch our dogs again!”
“I had something come up last minute and Alexandra was so sweet, responsive and accommodating. So nice and easy to work with and Moose seemed comfortable with short notice set up!!”

“Olivia was so great with Maverick! I booked for 4 walks and she was prompt and every walk was a good 30min which is perfect for my dog. She sent updates and communicated well. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future”
About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.
“This is the second time Karly has been our walker for Bella. The first time was a 5 week hire while we were out of town. The second time was a short notice two day walker stint. Always punctual through both terms, and always caring. We felt very comfortable knowing Karly was watching our Senior Labrador Bella. Bella loved it too!”

“Traci was absolutely amazing to my sweet Penny. She even bought her a little skateboard to teach my bulldog how to skate since they are known to be great at it. Penny adored her and will use Traci for every Rover walk when needed. She’s prompt and committed to walking on time and very consistent. We love Traci!!”
About: I found my first love for dogs when I was about 5, and begged my mom to rescue Burrito Bob. I then grew up always having a dog around. My junior year of high school I decided to buy my very own goldendoodle, Toby James. Toby is the best dog ever, and more so my child than my dog! I have 2 goldendoodle’s of my own, and they have learned very quickly what it’s like to be spoiled (we love drive through, the word pup-cup, and car rides! Of course we also love going on walks and runs! I have grown up living with 5 dogs at once of all different breeds! I’ve also recently learned how to groom my own doodles! Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I’d love to care for your dogs like my own! I have 2 pups of my own that I treat like children! I enjoy taking my dogs for long walks and taking care of them! I will walk and let dogs out during the days! I have a 70 and 30 pound doodle that I walk at the same time! We recently welcomed our first non-fur baby into our home in October, and I am looking for a way to be the best mom I can be! What better way than daily walks and our absolute favorite thing - dogs?!

About: Animal lover and owner for 15+ years, with experience caring for dogs, cats, snakes, and a crested gecko. I genuinely love caring for pets, whether they’re mine or yours! I’m always happy to help keep them safe, loved, and well cared for As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is naturally flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I love being able to use that flexibility to help care for other families’ pets whenever they need it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your animals with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow all routines closely, provide plenty of love and supervision, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs! My own 2 dogs come from very different places. Belle (3 yo, mixed breed) is a medium-sized rescue dog from the island of St. Croix and Atari (4 yo, Cavachon mixed breed) was born on a farm and has been spoiled since birth! :) I also volunteer with Ruff Start USVI, the rescue service that rescued my dog Belle! I spend time with the rescue puppies, taking care of them, playing with them, etc. My family also often foster dogs from Ruff Start, Belle was a foster dog before we decided to adopt her! I am currently searching for a summer part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your pets this summer! I will be in the Ankeny area until August 10th when I move back to Ames for college! I will be able to provide services in Ames once I return! ☺️ I will update with my college schedule once it gets closer to move-in. I am completely flexible to whatever your dog may need! I can perfectly heed to any dog schedule and follow along with any weird little quirk! I love sending pictures and will send plenty of updates or only a few, whatever you prefer!
“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”
About: Hi!!! My name is Kadyn and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals!! I feel the happiest when I’m caring for them:) I worked for two years at a local doggy daycare in waukee Iowa, where I gained lots of hands on experience supervising, playing with, taking care of, and ensuring safety of dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. I have also been a dog sitter and walker for the past five years, building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners while providing dependable care, including administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved!!! I am a sophmore in college at the University of Iowa! So my schedule is pretty flexible during the week days between classes and I’m open most weekends! I care for them as if they were my own and I do my very best to make them feel comfortable and loved whether they are in my home or the clients!
About: I grew up with dogs and now have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. Our cats are both American Shorthair and our dog is a golden retriever! I’m currently a stay at home mom and we love watching some furry friends during our days! We can let them out multiple times, go on walks, and play. Our big fenced in backyard makes for a fun time! I have two very friendly cats who warm up quickly to other animals or hide until they feel comfortable! We also have a golden retriever who loves other animals and loves to play! I live in house with a fenced in backyard!
About: I've had dogs and cats for most of my life that are treated as family. Buster, my 16 year old Border Collie mix, recently passed. My family consists of several grand puppies who come for visits. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I am home most days all day long, with occasional appointments. I would love to go for walks with a dog. I have a pet friendly home with a large fenced yard. I have several grand puppies who visit. I love dogs and would welcome them into my home as part of my family.
About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I got my first cat when I was 16 and now have two beautiful cats. Taking care of my cats has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and genuine love. I have also learned a lot about animal behavior from observing my cats and spending the past six years with them. Even though I have cats at home, I’ve also always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel comfortable and loved. I am a nursing student at DMACC and have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday available to care for pets! I am available to work anytime between 10AM and 11PM. I make sure I always know where my pets are throughout the day. If they aren’t in their usual spots, I check on them to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before leaving the house, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and that their scheduled meals are served. I also pay attention to their behavior because it tells me a lot about how they are doing.
About: Animals have always had my heart whether they have fur, feathers, or floppy ears, I love them like they’re my own! 🐾 From playful puppies to wise old whiskers, I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve had the joy of helping many senior pets live comfortably and happily in their golden years. I truly believe pets are family, and I understand how important it is for them to stay in their own cozy space, surrounded by familiar smells, toys, and routines. That’s why I provide the kind of loving care and attention you’d give them yourself so you can relax knowing your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. With over 12 years of experience in pet and house sitting (both through Rover and independently), I’ve spent lots of time with older pups and pets who need daily medication and a little extra TLC. I know how reassuring it is to have someone trustworthy in your home and by your pet’s side. 🐶💬 Just a heads-up: while I’m great at snuggles, meds, and belly rubs, I’m not a certified dog trainer so I will not be offering training services. If you have a training routine you’d like to continue while gone please let me know so I can accommodate. For everyone’s comfort and peace of mind, please let me know if there are any security cameras inside the home before a sit begins. I completely understand the need for home security, but just as a heads-up it’s illegal in most states to place cameras in private areas like bathrooms or bedrooms, even if it’s your own home. I respect your space and privacy and kindly ask for the same in return. Thank you so much for understanding! 🐾🏡 (I’m very committed to animal welfare and have been an animal rights activist for years. Copy of background check available upon request for in home stays.) Pet care is a big part of my routine, and I always aim for clear, honest communication up front to make sure I’m the right fit before booking this helps avoid any surprises or conflicts later on. I also offer full-time care and am happy to take time off work to focus completely on your pet, especially if they’re extra cuddly or need that close, consistent companionship (Velcro pups are my specialty 🐶💕). I always aim to create a safe, calm space where your dog can feel at ease. As a new face in their home, I take things slow, stay relaxed, and tune into their energy letting them set the pace. I understand how confusing or stressful it can be when their favorite human isn’t around, so my goal is to build trust and help them feel secure, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💛

“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free.

I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“I’m convinced Zion has officially claimed Meagan and her family as more members of his pack. 😂😂 He literally wouldn't leave her side at pickup and politely tucked himself into her hip and a corner of her staircase to avoid being leashed up! I love so much that he is “at home” on his visits to Meagan’s! Couldn't ask for better! 😍🙈”
“Angela and Dan provided amazing care for our dog, Thunder. They loved him as their own! They sent us updates and pics and made us feel very comfortable. They were very flexible with pick up and drop off. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Lara and Cary were so great with our dog, Nola! It was our first time leaving her after an incident at a local kennel this summer so we were worried and anxious. They sent several photos and updates and put our minds at ease. She had a nice, relaxing stay and we will definitely use them again and again!!”
“If I could give Jessica 10 stars, I absolutely would! She was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. Jessica made both Cleo and our entire family feel at ease. We had never left Cleo with anyone before, but from the photos, it was clear she felt right at home. We received daily updates, pictures, and walks, which reassured us that Cleo was in great hands. So grateful for Jessica and her husband!”
“Amanda spoiled our dog all weekend! Played catch and cuddled and let him take a nap in her lap (he's almost 100 lbs so that was above and beyond the call of duty)! Another plus is there were 4-5 large dogs for Osborne to play with in Amanda's fenced in backyard so he came home happily exhausted. Amanda was extremely flexible in drop off/pick up times which was greatly appreciated as we were heading out of town for the weekend. She also carefully monitored his food so he only ate his food and didn't sneak other dog food and get an upset stomach. Highly recommend Amanda!”
“Our pups love as staying at Alok's! They always are excited to be dropped off and have a great time while they're there. Alok sends us regular updates and photos on how they're doing. Thanks for watching our pups!”
“Sherilynn is literally the best!!! She is so caring and has fun things for the dogs to do. She sends pictures and videos, she picked my dog up for the weekend twice, took her through Starbucks to get a pup cup and even let us extend our stay short-notice. Cannot recommend enough!!!”
“Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!”
“Jordana was amazing with our girls! While we were away we had peace of mind that the dogs were getting walked, played with and loved on. We got pictures throughout our whole trip of the fun time they were having! I’m happy to have a reliable go to person for them to go to going forward.”
“Another great stay for our pup with Holly! We are so grateful to Holly for accommodating a last minute stay that our dog clearly loved. Excellent communication and care.”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! Our boy seemed very happy and comfortable with her, which brought us a great amount of ease. She sent daily pictures and updates which was lovely. We will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.
“Roxxie had a great time! Lynsey is communicative, flexible, and reliable. She has the cutest little girl who knows how to interact with dogs as well. I recommend booking with her for anyone who is considering!”
“Patty was great to work with and always prompt with responses. I appreciate the updates and pictures. I let her know I have a nervous dog and she was open to a meet and greet and asked what would help my dog to be comfortable while he was with her. Will use her again. Thanks Patty!!”
