“Liz did an amazing job with my fur baby Dior. She Mae sure Dior was comfortable with her and gave her lots of love, play time and cuddle time. She noticed that Dior was not eating and she tried everything she could to get her to eat and it worked. Dior fell in love with Liz and her wife. Liz brung along her wife that also keep Dior company with cuddles. They are very nice people. Liz came to my home at did drop in visits with Dior and Dior fell in love with Liz and her wife. I was able to peek in on visits with my ring cam and Dior cried out for Liz each time she left. So Liz came up with a great idea to keep Dior occupied while she was able to leave. She also will discipline Dior when she needed correction on any behavior. Overall, I would recommend Liz and you can trust her in your home. She also arranged for visits with such a short notice. Thank you LIZ and wife!!!!!!!!!”

About: I currently have a cat and grew up with a small dog, but I’ve always had a soft spot for big dogs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, and Rover is a perfect way for me to spend time with animals I love. Whether it’s a walk, some company, or just making sure your pet feels at home, I’m all in! I am a teacher, so I have the summer off! I can really make myself available at any time or day you may need me for drop-ins or walks. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I am good with all kinds of dogs older dogs young puppy’s small dogs I’m willing to work with you and your furry friend hope to see you soon I am currently not working and needing to find things to do on the side and I love animals so I’m hoping to be able to work with some doggies I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and my boyfriend works a full time job so I watch them a lot when he is gone making sure our animals are safe
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!
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I have three rescue cats and one rescue puppy. I will do everything I can to make sure your pets feel safe and cared for Generally I am available more in the afternoon for afternoons, as I work most mornings. However I may be able to be flexible if needed I will always respect your homes and pets spaces, as it is not my own. While making sure that your pet is always safe in my care.
“Benjamin was outstanding. I have a shy and nervous GSD who he cared for like her was his own dog. They got along great! Frequent picture updates and narratives about how each visit went. Would absolutely have him watch over my doggo again!”
