“We left for a full week. I was really nervous to leave my 2 dogs and cat with a “stranger” but Allison provided us with a visit before our trip to make sure that we felt comfortable with her as well as the puppies. The day we left she show up on time as scheduled and she make me feel really good before we left assuring me that everything will be okay. Every day she send me pictures of my puppies and she gave me constant updates. My dogs absolutely love her, and even the cat that really doesn’t like anybody, warm up to her. If you are looking on someone reliable and loving to take care of your best friends I should absolutely recommend Allison.”


“Lori is great with our two cats and two dogs, and they all love her. We’ve had her over for check-ins, and she recently stayed with the pets at our house for a week - we came home to four happy pets. Having someone like Lori to rely on gives us great peace of mind!”


“I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”


“Deborah was great! And our Golden Retriever Frankie loved her. She took great care of him, and our house, while we were gone. We'll definitely reach out to her again when we need great care for Frankie!”


“This was our Winnie’s first ever stay with a sitter and I couldn’t have picked a better person! Nejra was absolutely fantastic! She provided photos throughout the day which were great. She was definitely approved by all the animals which was great!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have had two dogs growing up that I always took care of. I continue to take care of friends and families dogs. I currently work remote full time which gives me the availability to work anywhere. I am free in the morning and afternoons before and after work. I always make sure the animals will stick to their routine if they have one. I always try to play with the animals and entertain them as well.

“Mikayla was great!! We were able to book with her on short notice. She sent photos with an update everyday and is always quick to respond. Our pups seemed very relaxed and content with her. Would highly recommend Mikayla & will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


“Karley was amazing with our golden retriever, Dierks, and he seemed very happy and relaxed when we returned! I especially appreciated how accommodating Karley was with schedule changes that happened last minute. We would definitely recommend Karley and will be booking with her again!🤩”


“Elliana was great! We had never used Rover before and it’s hard to leave your fur babies! She was responsive and dependable. She sent updates and pictures throughout the night and our dogs got to remain comfortable in the familiarity of their own home. We will definitely have Elliana come back again!”


“Emani is the person you are looking for! We met Emani for the first time last week and I knew she would be perfect for us when, during the meet & greet, my dog Robbie fell asleep with his head on her leg . I am just home from several days out-of-town. While I was gone Emani texted regularly with cheerful updates and pictures for Robbie. I returned to find Robbie happy, healthy, and very well looked after and the house is as tidy as I left it. Emani is responsible, and trust-worthy. She made mature decisions and treated my home with respect and by dog with affection. I can't say enough in praise of the great job she did for us.”


“Kara was very prompt, caring and dependable when taking care of our older cat & energetic puppy. We were happy to receive pics & texts of our pets through the day. Would highly recommend Kara.”


About: I’ve always had pets growing up- especially larger dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover at heart and will treat your fur babies like my own! We pour into our three cats at home and strive to give them the best quality of life- they are our family after all. I know I’m newer to rover, so it’ll take time and reviews to build your trust. Let me prove to you the love I have for animals and the quality care I’ll provide :) My schedule is very flexible as I stay at home with our toddler! Just let me know what you need and I can accommodate! Daytime is better, but I’m open to evenings as well! Weekends are open :) In our home, we treat our 3 cats with unconditional love. We recently had one of our first cats pass away due to CHF. It was very trying decision to come to, but ultimately decided it was best to not let him suffer, no matter how much our hearts would break. Since then, we’ve tried implementing extra vitamins, better quality food, more play time, etc. into our other cats lives to hopefully combat any future health issues with them. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your fur babies with as much love and care as my own.

“Grace is amazing with Jet and Aelin, even with Aelin peeing on her foot when she got to the house that night. The dogs love her and she takes great care of the house when she’s here!”


About: I’ve had animals in my life since day one—dogs, cats, you name it—so caring for pets is basically in my DNA. I started pet sitting and babysitting for neighbors when I was younger, and I’ve loved it ever since. I know how much pets mean to their people, and I treat every furball like they’re part of my own pack! As a stay-at-home mom with all my kids in school, I have lots of free time during the weekdays! I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings—perfect for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet! I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines to favorite toys—and I keep your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I have had a dog most of my life until recently. I grew up with a wonderful Bichon named Brody. Brody was my best friend growing up and lived to about 18 years old! My husband and I got together in 2008 and a year later we both decided we wanted to get our first dog together. His name was Tank. To keep Tank young we got him a friend in 2012, Miles. Tank and Miles were our fur babies as we didnt have children at the time. Both of our guys had their share of illnesses. Tank required allergy injections for a few years. Tank eventually was diagnosed with prostate cancer which we did chemo for 2 years with him. Miles also started to have his own health issues. He was diagnosed with Cushings early on, diagnosed with diabetes which we then were administering insulin twice a day for, and then we discovered he had a tumor in his chest. We loved and cared for these guys through it all. Doing EVERYTHING we could for both of them. Visits to ISU, Blue Pearl, multiple local clinics. We gave them the best life we could. I think just saying that I love animals isnt enough. They are family to me and mean so much more. I care for all animals as they are my own. My husband and I provided intense care for our guys until it was time to say goodbye for now. I miss our guys. I would love to help care for others fur babies as I would treat them as my own, giving them the best care possible and the love they deserve. I currently work remote full time from my home and have decent flexibility in my daily work schedule to meet the needs of my clients. I have a fenced in yard. No other animals at this time. We do have a 4 year old child who is great with animals and always has been. Dog park nearby. Walking paths nearby/great neighborhood for walking outside.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a young child, but have been doing so professionally for 10 years. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a full time vet tech and have been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. So I am uniquely qualified to administer all kinds of medications, including oral, transdermal, and injectable, as well as subcutaneous fluids. I am also a certified dog trainer so I am able to train puppies (and dogs of all ages) and keep up with their current training while you're away. I currently work full time, so I have limited daytime availability. I am off on Thursdays and Sundays as well as most Saturdays, but otherwise can only provide midday drop ins if they are within a short drive from my job in Waukee. I will follow your instructions meticulously and treat your pets as I do my own. I believe it is important to keep as close to a normal routine as possible to make sure the pets are comfortable with their pet sitter while their owners are away. I provide daily text check ins with pet parents as well as pictures of your beloved pet.
