“Amina provided excellent pet sitting for Michael. I received photos of Michael every day, and it looked like he was having a great time. Amina made the transition smooth from me to her to me by providing caring and loving attention to Michael. I will definitely book with her in the future.”
“We are repeat customers of Gabriella. We always know our boys are well taken care of when we book with her! She writes up thorough and thoughtful report cards of her stop ins and provides ample photo updates. She has quickly become a regular sitter for our pets!”
“Erika was WONDERFUL! Not only did she agree to watch my dogs SUPER last minute (I had already left for Chicago when my original plan for them fell through), but also right before a snowstorm! Still showed up as scheduled and even cleared a new path for them to potty (because they’re little). I also love that she stayed the full half-hour to snuggle with them and sent pictures and an update every visit! Will DEFINITELY use her again!”
About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.
“Maegan is the first person to lay eyes on my black cat, Pablo, which must mean she’s magic. So happy all the critters had someone lovely to check in on them, and big extra thanks for taking in my packages that showed up early!”
“Kaylene is great with our dog April. April always looks so excited in her pictures and I know she’s loves when Kaylene visits. The house is well taken care of and she is always on time!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Dylan was so kind, professional, and communicative I had nothing to worry about while I was gone. I appreciate her so much and will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
About: (I go by both Kennedy and Sunny!) I have had pets since I was little! I started grooming in a pet salon four years ago! A pets safety and happiness will always be the first thing I strive for! I can offer nail trims and grinds, paw pad shaving, ear cleaning, and a sanitary shave during my check-ins if that’s what you’d like! I am currently a full time groomer, but I can do nightly check-ins/ stays. I’m currently, fully free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every other Friday and Saturday! If your pet needs a small check-in during the late afternoon any-day, I will be able to do so (: I cannot offer my home up for stay; due to one of my own cats being unfriendly/ aggressive. But I will take care of your pets like they were my own! Like I do at my salon, I pay close attention to body language, and signs of stress. If a pet seems anxious/ aggressive/ uncomfortable, I will always try my best to make them understand that I’m there to help and take care of them!
“Angie was great, filled in for us last minute! She was easy to work with and accommodated a virtual meeting to go over instructions to fit our schedule. We were very happy with the care our two cats received!!”
About: Since a baby, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. Not all at once, but I have always been a lover of animals of all types. I have been around animals with sensitive diets, tummy troubles, skin sensitivity, anxiety, and paw pain and know how to spot the warning signs for most common complications. Grooming, bathing, feeding, and exercise are all tasks I am deeply familiar with. If your pet has unique care instructions, trust that I will do my best research prior and will carefully ensure your baby receives the most comfortable stay. I am a college student currently. I currently live in a studio apartment near UNI and will be able to flexibly care for any animals of all types; sans very large dogs for space reasons. My time mostly consists of studying and trying to find the time to exercise enough, so you don't have to worry about a busy body! For my in home service, I am very meticulous about "leaving it as I found it or better than it was." Having military discipline, I am punctual about arriving, check-ins, and feeding/potty times. You can guarantee that any and all instructions relating to your baby or babies is closely followed and communication prompt when necessary. As for boarding or hourly stays, my home is their home. They are welcome to sleep or lounge where they like and accompany me on a walk around town or during a Law and Order binge. Belly rubs and butt scratches are always available round the clock!
“It was so helpful and reassuring that Maria was able to step into a last-minute house and cat-sitting job. Very prompt and clear communication made this possible. The cats were well cared for, and we could tell they had received lots of attention.”
About: I have been takeing care of dogs since I was 10 and loving them as far back as I can remember. I love to be around them and taking care of them. I have been dog sitting since I was about 12 and love every minute of it. I love to train dogs as well. I have had a dog as far back as I can remember and can't imagine my life without them. I volunteered at the local humane society for about 4 years. I am also currently going to college to be a dog trainer. I am currently working on starting a business where I train service dogs! Thank you! My experience administering medication. As long as I'm properly informed on how to administer the medication than yes. I can spend as much time as needed for your dog to be comfortable! I will treat them as if they are my own dog! I will treat them as my own, I would appreciate a daily schedule and see if it works for me to follow that. I will try as hard as possible to follow that.
