Personalized care for your dog or cat - Nashua

“Great place for Javy to go stay! They took excellent care of him and sent pictures daily. He especially enjoyed the open areas to fun and fetch his balls! Hung out with the residence dogs and cats 😎 if you are looking for a great place to board your dog I would highly recommend Shaun and Katie! We will be rebooking!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for my entire life. As a kid, my family bred and raised Shih Tzus. I have experience with all ages! I am currently working part time/as needed while attending college part time. I have a flexible schedule and commute from Charles City to Waterloo most every day. I have a private, fenced in backyard. My wiener dog, Tootsie, enjoys roaming our 3-bedroom house, sunbathing on the couches, and snuggling in bed.

“Chelsey was a fantastic caretaker for Hawkeye while we were out of town! He loved her fenced in yard and all the walks she took him on. I loved that she sent photos and updates while we were away. She has a lovely home with a nice, fenced in backyard. We will definitely ask Chelsey to take care of our boy again!!”

“Savanna and Bryan are an answer to my prayers. I was so anxious to board my pup Winston for a week where he would be locked in a kennel most of a day with other barking dogs. My little dog is only 13 pounds, but he LOVES to play with big dogs as well as others his size. He wouldn’t get this opportunity at a traditional kennel. Savanna welcomed Winston like part of the family and he loved playing with the big dogs and the sweetest kids ever! Vacation is much more relaxing when you know your baby is in good hands. What a wonderful family.”

Nancy K.

“Our experience with Rachel was wonderful! She sent us regular updates, pictures and videos. Our Gracie girl was spoiled! Hoping we can book with again in the future!”

Kristin W.

“Sonja and Tim always take such good care of Charlie. This is the second time we’ve used them and Charlie seems to be so happy and so comfortable there. We will continue to use them anytime we need boarding for Charlie.”

About: I have never been without an animal in my life. I know the anxiety of leaving my babies and now as a retired teacher I can provide that same comfort to your baby if you need to leave them. I am a retired teacher and live on an acreage. I am home most of the time and spend a lot of time outside. I do have cats that are good with dogs - if the dogs are good with cats. I have a young energetic mutt mix that looks like a mix of Yorkshire and Rat Terrier. He is friendly to all humans and animals. I have 4 acres of invisible fence. I can train almost any dog to learn the boundaries. Or I can keep your dog on a long leash when we go outside. We have no kids and have quite a relaxed home.

“Deirdre was absolutely amazing. She sent many pictures and updates. After meeting her I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving my Fur baby with her. Definitely recommend working with her!”

Kaitlyn V.

“My pups had a great experience with Jennifer. She responded quickly to all my inquiries and had a fantastic fenced backyard for my pups to run and play in!”

Kate H.

“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”

About: I have worked in many different aspects of caring for animals, from shelters, to a boarding facility. I also volunteer for an animal shelter. I pet sit for friends often and love to do it!! I am obsessed with animals, ask anybody that knows me!! ☺️ I have at least 8 years experience working with animals. I have also had dogs my whole life, and currently have a sheltie puppy named Rosie. I have mainly worked with large breeds of dogs, but I love all dogs! I also have a passion for cats, and love to analyze their behavior and see why they react versus ‘that was bad.’ Please let me know if you are interested in me helping you and your pets! Thank you!

“I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!”

Mackenzie M.

“Tramyra and Janny were incredible!!! They took such good care of our cat, and also provided frequent updates with photos of his daily activity before we ever had to ask. Our baby returned to us happy and healthy. Highly recommend them, and we look forward to using their services again in the future 😁”

About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in! My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!

“Lexi totally enjoyed her day at Savannah and Bryan's. You can tell she enjoyed their little daughter by the videos sent while I was gone. Lexi also did well with their larger dog and cat! Very highly recommended!”
