Victoria, is a breath of fresh air. So kind and attentive to my girl. We were only gone for 2 days and I received several updates daily on Bella. She left the house looking great. Thanks Vicki, will be in touch with you if we need a house sitter again.

Allison was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two big dogs over the weekend while we were getting married. We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!

Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.

Yasmin is WONDERFUL!!! We were so appreciative of her quick and thorough communication, cute photos, and flexibility. Most importantly she took such great care of our fur babies and they absolutely love her! Would definitely recommend Yasmin to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter who will treat your babies like her own.

About: I grew up always having cats and being a total cat lady, however after bringing home my first dog ever I realized how much I absolutely love and adore dogs! I have experience with having a dog of my own (sadly he went on to the rainbow bridge), plus caring for my sisters dog who I jokingly say is my part time dog. I also have experience with all the dogs I’ve gotten to meet through Rover. I would love to have a dog of my own again but I don’t have the proper time or space to have one right now, so I’m looking to get my fix by spending time with your dog! I’m currently available any time of day on weekends and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies since I work until 4pm during the week. Im very attentive to your pets needs and making sure they are comfortable this includes lots of outdoor time with nice walks, and giving them lots of love and attention(not to mention treats!). :) I work until 4pm during the week, and I’m off on weekends. So I’m available anytime on weekends, and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with 2 cats so any pets that stay with me need to be familiar and friendly with cats. I do have a spare bedroom that I can use for separation purposes however prefer to be familiar and good around cats if I will be watching in my home. If house sitting I will be available to stay after work and will send lots of pictures and updates along the way.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️ As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours! My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.

I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

Stacey has taken care of my dog and 5 cats since June 2024, when I moved to Des Moines. Every weekend she has cared for them. Stacey makes sure all the pets have food and water. She scoops all the litter boxes. She gives my dog her medications and takes her for walks. She send me updates and pictures. She is very dependable. I never have I worry who is going to take care of everyone while I’m gone at work.

Natalie has stayed with my 2 boys several times. She did a fantastic job caring for my older pup with complicated medical needs as well as balancing the activity and cuddle needs of my puppy. I love the soft spot she has for senior pets and the love she gave equally to both of my pups. I came home to 2 happy boys and a clean home. It gave me such peace of mind while I had to be out of town. Natalie is at the top of my list for dog/housesitters.
