House Sitting in Highland Park, Des Moines, IA

“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”

“Ky is awesome!! Absolutely the nicest and you can tell how much she cares about animals. Super communicative and flexible, and takes plenty of adorable photos! 11/10 would book her again.”

“Alexis did a wonderful job with our dog and we would highly recommend her. Our elderly dog suffers from anxiety and was immediately calm when he meet Alexis and we could tell when we got home that she gave him lots of love and attention.”

“Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!”

“Skykala has watched our golden several times and has been great each time!”

“Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.”

“Very kind and attentive!! Would highly recommend Brenda and will for sure seek her out to watch my dog again.”

“Sidney was a fantastic fit for my 2 dogs. One is usually a ball of anxiety when meeting new people but he was immediately friendly with Sidney! We will definitely be booking with Sidney again!”

“Kendra stayed with our two dogs for a weekend, and is so wonderful! I am typically a worry wart, but she made everything so easy and took great care of our boys! We will definitely book her again ??☺️”

“Andrea did a great job sitting with our dog. Zoey was happy when we returned home. I appreciated the updates throughout the stay. Our house was clean and neat upon our return.”

“Madi was fantastic! Wrigley is a high energy dog and he got daily trips to the dog park and even a trip to the pet store. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The house was spotless when we got home and Wrigley seemed very happy! This was our first time with a sitter and we were pretty nervous since our dog has separation anxiety, however with Madi here I don’t think he even realized we were gone. We’re already adding Madi to the calendar for next time, and would recommend them again and again!!!”

“Jessica is simply amazing. She sent photos and updates and everything! As a Rover sitter myself, I feel I have pretty high standards and Jessica more than met all of them. So incredibly lucky to have found her to watch our pups! Thank you Jessica!!”

“I am definitely a helicopter parent when it comes to Pickles, but Javon was the best sitter ever. Can’t wait to have them back to hang out with our little cream puff.”

“Alex is very reliable and great with pets! He took care of our dog several times and I would not hesitate to recommend him as a pet sitter.”

“She took great care of our pets! Sent us videos and pictures. One of our dogs had an irritated ear and she helped sooth it. Our dogs were well taken care of.”

“We're over the moon with Tarah's stellar care for our two bulldogs while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, from giving them their daily Benadryl to dealing with their sassy attitudes with patience and grace. Coming back to a house that was better than we left it and two happy pups was the best feeling ever. Tarah's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, making her our top choice for pet sitting. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring, Tarah's your person. Huge thanks to Tarah for making our time away stress-free and our dogs' tails wag like crazy!”

“Sara & Mason did a great job taking care of our three German Shepherds while we were out of town. They made sure they were prepared, they communicated, and the followed through exactly as they said.”

“Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜”

“James is an outstanding pet parent. When I met James, he had a Labrador retriever named Albert. He had adopted Albert as a puppy. Albert was the best cared for pet ever! Albert just passed here recently at the impressive age of 14. He has also pretty pet sat for my Akita, Cash was a puppy mill rescue. I adopted him at about a year old and he was super under socialized and extremely fearful with strangers. James was wonderfully patient with Cash in giving him both the space and the nudges he needed. Rover would be fortunate to get James as part of your team”

“Keirston was fantastic! As soon as I met her I was confident my pets would be well taken care of. She sent us great updates and took care of stuff around the house as needed. You could tell by the photos she sent that the pets were happy and got along with her great!”
