About: I’ve had animals all of my life and have always had a deep love for dogs especially. With years of experience caring for dogs, including working at a dog boarding/daycare, I understand the needs and how to keep our furry friends healthy and happy. I have 2 of my owns dogs, both larger breeds but have experience with all different types. I’m excited to provide the same love and care to your pup as I do for my own! Pretty much my whole world revolves around my dogs, making sure they are always well taken care of and have all their needs met. Whether that’s going for long walks, running around the park, or just spending quality time together, their well-being is always my top priority! Whether I’m caring for my own pets or a clients, I always treats them like they are a part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, with plenty of play time and lots of love and attention. I follow each pets specific routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any other special instructions.

About: Along with my own dog, I have sat and cared for my friend's and family's pets for a couple of years now and I am a very detail oriented and attentive person who truly cares for animals, almost more than humans. I am home from college for the summer and work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and get to know your babies! I can walk, feed, play with, and care for dogs in line with your instructions, whether that means administering medication(s) or staying with them overnight!

“Abigail is the best! My dog loves her! We came from out of town and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease looking after our pup. She was quick to respond, competent, professional and thoughtful. My partner accidentally locked her out and she was patient and went out of her way to wait for him to let her in. We will be rebooking her again and you should too! 10 stars!”

“Oggie absolutely loves when you come to walk her and the pictures never fail to make me smile. I'm incredibly grateful for you taking care of her!!”

About: I grew up on a farm near Dallas Center and have experience with a variety of animals both big and small. My first job growing up was at PetSmart where I gained valuable knowledge on how to take better care of my furry family members and my customer's furry family members! I have adopted multiple dogs and cats into my own family and would love the chance to treat your pets as family as well. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I would love to set up a routine with you and your pet. I have a fenced yard and live near a city park that would be great for walks! I do have children in my home who love animals. Your pets would get plenty of cuddles, attention, and play time.

“Had an amazing experience. They were willing to do a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. On time, dogs are happy, and were taken care of like they were their pets. We had plenty of communication and pictures from Ian and Candice. We would recommend their services as they went above and beyond with their care. Will defiantly re-book if future services are needed.”

About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs. I have two extremely spoiled miniature dachshunds of my own! I have a love for all fur babies and want to provide the same care for them that you would yourself. I am currently unemployed so I am available any time of day M-F for walks, play time, or anything else your doggo might need! I am also usually pretty open on weekends. I am happy to care for your pets in whatever way you need. If staying with me they would have two playful dogs to keep them very entertained! Living in an apartment I do not have a yard but I do have a patio with a cot that my doggos love to get some sun on.

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’ve taken care of every type of dog since I was young. Growing up we raised lab puppies & I saw to their feeding, play, and waste removal throughout every age. I’ve dog sat big and small dogs and cats alike through home visits and home stays. I am an elementary teacher so I am available anytime in the summer, on the weekends, most holidays, and on week nights after 6pm! I’d love to love on your fur babies! I love furry companions to go on walks with, play with, and enjoy the overall company of any 4 legged friend! I would love to spoil your pet while you’re away!

About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 6. During college I got a dog of my own. Since I am in graduate school, he is staying with my boyfriend in Ames. After I was done with undergrad, I babysat many of my old teammates dogs and had great feedback. I have all the necessary skills and tools to care for any dog. I could also schedule a play date with my own dog if wanted! I am also a volunteer at furry friends as a dog walker in my free time. Since I am in graduate school, my schedule is not set in stone. I prefer dog walking since I’m available at odd times but could house sit if the schedule allows. I could be available the entire day (like Thursdays) or not until 5 pm. If you message I could be able to tell you for certain. Prefer a fenced in yard if you have multiple dogs but I have no problem walking them. I have no other preferences at this time.

“Alyssa is great with my cavapoo! She is very kind and loving and takes great care of her during their walks. Would definitely recommend her!!”

About: I started off my experience with pet sitting 10 years ago with 2 Bichon dogs. They required a lot of care and I loved every minute I spent with them. I had a dog growing up and she was my pride and joy. When pet sitting, I make sure that I give the pets attention and love that I would like to give my own pet. When pet sitting, I typically have the dog come to me or I can do drop in visits to your home. I can also spend the day going on walks and relaxing with your dog. I do not have a dog of my own, but I do have a lot of experience interacting and caring for all kinds of dogs. I am a teacher, so I have the summer off to be able to take care of your dog during morning and afternoon. I can also take them on long walks. I plan to make sure that your dog gets what they need. For example, make sure that they have food and water. Also, provide them time to be outside and to be active if needed.

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.

“Karley agreed to Help with very short notice and followed the care directions based on text and photo instruction. She was on time for both her visits and sent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommended”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up- especially larger dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover at heart and will treat your fur babies like my own! We pour into our three cats at home and strive to give them the best quality of life- they are our family after all. I know I’m newer to rover, so it’ll take time and reviews to build your trust. Let me prove to you the love I have for animals and the quality care I’ll provide :) My schedule is very flexible as I stay at home with our toddler! Just let me know what you need and I can accommodate! Daytime is better, but I’m open to evenings as well! Weekends are open :) In our home, we treat our 3 cats with unconditional love. We recently had one of our first cats pass away due to CHF. It was very trying decision to come to, but ultimately decided it was best to not let him suffer, no matter how much our hearts would break. Since then, we’ve tried implementing extra vitamins, better quality food, more play time, etc. into our other cats lives to hopefully combat any future health issues with them. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your fur babies with as much love and care as my own.

About: Your pup’s care is a family affair! Everyone in our home helps out and we treat them like they’re family, like we are their second home! I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, rats, hamsters, and an occasional fish! I have always had a tremendous love of animals of all kind and my family calls me the “animal whisperer” because animals just come to me naturally and warm up to me very easily. We have 4 amazing boys that will play and love on your pup and make their stay as pleasant as can be! I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home so there is always someone home to make sure your pup is well taken care of! Our 4 boys help out too! There’s plenty of love to go around! I have a large fenced in yard and 4 energetic boys to keep your doggo entertained. During our Meet n Greet we will talk about the daily routine your pup is accustomed to and we will do our best to maintain that consistency.

About: I’m a young professional who takes my passions seriously! I will treat your pets like my own and ensure they are safe and loved when in my care. I have been dog-sitting and walking pups for 8+ years, whether for neighbors/friends or my own pets! I currently work an ever-changing schedule, so my hours are very flexible and I can adapt to your needs as you best see fit for you and your pet! I am a very safe and trustworthy young adult. Your pet’s safety is my top priority, but I also deeply care about the safety of your home and respecting the privacy you deserve. I will always keep your pet and your home safe in my care!
