Pet Boarding in Ankeny

“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in the household throughout my whole life. I worked at Bark Avenue for three years, taking care of many dogs! I am now a supervisor at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. In my free time, I love taking dogs out of the shelter for the day and bringing them home for sleepovers!! I foster plenty of behaviorally challenged dogs and I help them break bad habits, and help them build confidence, learn skills, and many different things to set them up for adoption! I will not have any foster dogs in the home while I watch other people’s pets!❤️ I’m currently working part-time at the ARL. If i’m given enough time in advance, I could take a couple extra days off work to give your pup the time and attention that they deserve! I am perfectly comfortable sleeping at your house with a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit! I’m comfortable sleeping with dogs in the bed and can provide lots of potty breaks per day! I would also be comfortable having dogs in my home, as long as they have no history of destruction! The furniture and the bed is theirs!

“Kati took wonderful care of pepper while we were out of town. She was super communicative and took the care to feed him a special diet when his tummy was upset. She sent us multiple pictures every day and treated pepper like he was part of her own furry family. Thank you Kati!!!”

“Amy and Casey were great with our pup. Rudy can be pretty anxious, especially around new people, and Amy and Casey were very patient and understanding with him. He warmed up to them and had a great weekend, and Casey and Amy provided updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!”

“Nicole sent lots of photos which I loved and they took great care of Bella. She had a fun time playing and cuddling with their dogs! We will definitely use them again!”

Andrea S.

“Lucia was the best pet sitter for our kitty cat Sai. She went above and beyond and picked him up and dropped him off. She sent pics often and I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. Lucia also just has a kind and friendly personality. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I am very happy with our experience.”

“Osvaldo cared for my dog when we went out of town. He sent photos and videos. He picked him and dropped him off. We will absolutely use him again. Our dog was happy and healthy!”

Keona W.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”

Ariana P.

“Jessica is absolutely the best! She took care of our puppy for a week when we went on vacation. She sent multiple pictures/updates throughout the day. She spends a lot of time playing/cuddling with your dog. Jessica somehow managed to take our puppy on walks, even when it was cold and snowy. When we picked up our puppy after 7 nights, he looked super happy and well taken care of. So grateful to have Jessica to take care of our fur baby when we are away. She is the BEST!!”

Prabath D.

“Andrea was one of a kind sitter. She took great care of our fuzzball, so well that we could enjoy our vacation without worries. She responded quickly to all our messages and sent us pictures. She went above and beyond to accomodate our delayed flight. So very sorry, Andrea. Will definitely book again when we are in the area. Highly recommend Andrea!”

Mai L.

“We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.”

Ezequiel R.

“Amber took great care of Roxi! Communication was excellent and she took extra care to ensure she wasn’t intimidated by larger dogs during the stay.”

Melanie B.

“Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!”

Rosanna R.

“Morgan did such an amazing job of taking care of our pup. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her with a non-family member, so we were a bit nervous but Morgan immediately put us at ease. She was so thoughtful, caring, and attentive. Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!”

Mackenzi N.

“Hannah was amazing! She showed our sweet Butter so much love and we felt totally comfortable and confident that our anxious dog was being cared for so well the entire time we were away. Hannah sent tons of photos and updates which is always the best. We highly recommend her and would leave Butter with her again in a heartbeat.”

Ben F.

“Alice has watched our dog several times now. We trust her to take loving care of him, no matter his needs. She goes above and beyond! Great communication and pictures, helps us feel connected to our pup when we’re away. Grateful for her consistent care when we’re away.”
