Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rockwell

“Nicole’s whole family was wonderful and made my separation-anxiety-prone dog’s stay so comfortable, he barely missed me. From the moment I pulled up and Nicole sat down on the driveway to meet my dog, I knew I had made an excellent choice for my first-ever Rover booking. A special shout-out to Nicole’s awesome daughter, who spent lots of time with my furry child and even crashed out with him. I feel so lucky that I found Nicole. Should I ever be in this area of Iowa again and need a dog sitter, I know who I will be contacting first!”

“Kendra did an excellent job! Communicated well and loved Lucky like he was her own. Also was very flexible when I got sick in Egypt. Will be using her again.”

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.

“Savanna is amazing! She asked all of the right questions, kept me up to date, and made my Norman feel right at home. Her dogs are very sweet, too! Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a safe and welcoming place for their companion.”

“Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)”

About: I’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.

“Wow, I love Kassie and so does my pup. She shows concern, compassionate, and kind. I was so impressed I told her my pup drank bottled and she bought some for her. She didn't have to do that, but excellent customer service. I love how she kept me updated with photos and messages. My dog was so blessed Kassie and her daughter gave my pup so much love. Moreover she, put a little wet good on top of food. I definitely will let my pup stay with Kassie. I highly recommend her. My dog is boche like her owner and Kassie met her princess needs.”

About: I have babysat or taken care of dogs/animals ever since I was a child. To this day I will take in pets that are hurt or homeless until they are rehabilitated or find a good home. I have experience with all ages and stages of canine. Experience training dogs, nurturing them back to health, birthing, caring for seniors and special needs, bottle feeding babies, and much more. Let me know what your special needs are! I homestead and care for livestock on our farm. I have a pretty open availability. My largest chores here are completed early morning and late evening, giving me opportune time to be available during the days for checking in on, playing with and feeding, walking or housing your pup. I do not crate animals unless specified by owner. They will hang out with my family and I like they are our own if they are staying with us. I will follow and respect your rules for your pet in your homes and mine. We can work together with any special needs. I have an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits, doggie day sitting or to go on walks with your incredible pup. I will follow and abide by the rules you have in your home for pup. During our meet and greet we will go over all expectations, needs and rules for your doggie.

“Great day with Julie!”
