Josh did an amazing job with Kona for our vacation. He kept us up to date with walks and pictures, which we appreciate with being away from our pup. Definitely recommend him ! Very responsible and takes great care of your home while living there.

Tiffany took great care of our dog Cody. Her daughter was great with Cody also. We have used her twice for house sitting Cody.

Sally did a great job while I was away and did so with a pretty short turnaround. My dogs have a bit of energy, so coming home to a house in order was a good thing. With availability as a caveat, I will use Sally again in a second and would recommend her to anyone that doesn't need her when I do.

Nora stayed in our home and took fantastic care of our two senior dogs. She sent pictures daily and responded right away to messages. She gave them medication daily and I could tell in the pictures that the dogs both warmed up to her immediately. The house was perfect when we got home. We will definitely use her again.

Katelyn took care of Jax for us again with no worries. We had a change in plans and had to come home early. Kate was accommodating as always and left the house and Jax in great shape. Thanks for being so reliable!

I’m a first time Rover user. I have 3 rescues and I needed Brie to watch 2 of them while we took one to University of Wisconsin-Madison Veterinary Hospital. Brie did a meet and greet, asked great questions, was comfortable with the dogs right away. She messaged me when I was worried about how they were doing and sent me pictures, too! She went above and beyond my expectations.

First time using Rover so was slightly nervous and wasn't sure what to expect but Kaylyn helped to make it a seamless and great experience! Our girls can be big needy lapdogs at times and when we got home they said Kaylyn did great, thay felt safe and loved 😁 We love using family when able (wasn't available for this trip), but it's great to know we have a reliable back up with Kaylyn. We will be using her again in the future I'm sure.

Ashleigh recently house sat for us with our 2 high energy Vizslas. She spent time meeting the pups ahead of time so we were all prepared with any special instructions. Ashleigh did a great job of sending us many updates and photos during her stay which put our minds at ease while we were away! She was super friendly and professional throughout and kept the pups happy and entertained. I would highly recommend Ashleigh as we felt very confident they were well taken care of!

Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!

About: I got my first dog in middle school and my own puppy in 2019 which have been well taken care of if not a little spoiled. I did a puppy sitting job for a short while in 2024 and loved it so much. I'm available most days of the week for overnight visits if necessary. I'm not very busy so I'm usually open all day to play with your pups. I will stay within the provided boundaries and keep your dogs safe at home. I will be sure to keep them in sight at all times to keep them safe. Of course any accidents can be cleaned up as well.

Nicole has a natural instinct with dogs. She took time to meet our 3 dogs twice before she would be staying at our house for 3 days. The dogs welcomed her easily. We enjoyed the pictures of the dogs while we were away. I look forward to having Nicole dog sitting again.

About: With 15+ years of personal and professional animal care experience, there's not much that you can throw at me I won't be able to handle! I have worked at doggy daycares in multiple states, was a holiday supervisor at a very posh boarding hotel in Nashville, TN where I lead a weekly class on puppy socialization and body language, and have even worked in zoos! I am trained in neonatal care, senior palliative care, and basic pet first aid. I am also comfortable administering medications, including injections. I work full time at the University of Iowa on Sunday-Thursday, but have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to do checks before and after work. If a lunch hour stop works best, we can talk it through! When visiting a new client I always like to see the pets in their home environment, where they're most comfortable - this is complimentary! You and your pet can get to know me, so there's less anxiety when the scheduled care happens. That also helps me know where to find everything I need during an at-home visit. If you opt to board your pet at my house, I have a fenced-in backyard with grass, a doggy pool for those nice summer days, plenty of places for shade. Inside, I have a dedicated cat room with a gate that lets kitties in, and dogs out. My guest room can also be closed off with a kennel, or litter box and cat supplies if pets need a private space. I live in a cozy cul-de-sac near lots of walking trails and a public park that is great for leashed outdoor time.

Ashley is the person we turn to when we have to trust someone with our home and our fur-kids. They love her and she is a wonderful communicator. I always look forward to the pics she sends, the dogs being spoiled, and the house cleaned and straightened. We have nothing but great things to say about her!

Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️

Having Camryn as your sitter is the best thing that could happen to you furry babies. She’s so nice and patient with my Princess Bee. Thank you again for hanging out with Bee during this blizzard and wind chills temperature.
