Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Bloomfield-Allen, Des Moines, IA

“Absolutely amazing! This was my first time trying Rover and I look forward to using it again! Christina was amazing and responded quickly to my very short notice request. She was loving and caring to my 2 cats and my crazy high energy German Shepard. 10/10 would book with her again and will recommend to any fur parents I know in the future!”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and reptiles since I was a child and have volunteered in animal shelters. My passion is animals and my dog is the love of my life, and I cannot wait to share that love with your pets! My boy was VERY reactive when I first brought him home and we have been through multiple obedience classes together so I have experience with dogs of all temperaments and have special love for the ones who tend to be misunderstood. I am currently working full time but would love to take on caring for your pets on Friday evenings and on the weekends. My weekend availability is completely open! I live near a few parks that provide wonderful opportunities for walks with lots of spots to sniff and explore! I have experience medicating dogs if needed, kenneling them, and whatever other special needs they may have.

“Phenomenal rover. Went above and beyond to help us and took care of any issues that arose. Was very punctual and always communicated concisely and clearly. Kept our mind at ease while we were in vacation. HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL BE REBOOKING IN THE FUTURE!”

About: I think we all would rather have a family member or friend care for our pets when we can't. Someone you can trust. Someone who knows just how much your furry child means to you. Someone who will treat your pet as their own. When instead opting for hired help, there is an understandable amount of apprehension! I am here to soothe that uneasy feeling. I have an extensive background with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, rodents, and more! I work primarily with repeat clients, someone who needs me to be a reliable source for them and their pet when they are away. My main focus is prioritizing the comfort of you and your pet. I strive to ensure not only your satisfaction, but your pet's as well. I tend to be a bit of an assistant for you. I'll show up when you need, do what you need done, and be a relaible go-to for anything pet related. I'm even open to running errands when life gets busy and you forget to buy that one specific dog food or ran out of kitty litter a few days ago. For your pet, I'll be their friend! I talk to all animals (shamelessly) and I have enough experience that I usually know what they’re saying back. Whether your pet is super outgoing, shy, lazy, or reserved, I'll be what they want me to be for them. I truly enjoy the company of animals and I'd like to believe that feeling is reciprocated! About me: I'm originally from Arizona and moved to Iowa in 2016. I found my way to Des Moines in 2021 when I wanted to be closer to city life. Here my fiancé and I have bought a home in a cute suburb on the south side, about 10 minutes from downtown. My fiancé makes the real money; enough that I don't really need a job! I spent awhile catering to the needs of my home before seeking to help others beyond my regular routine. Now I am working to gather a handful of clients that I can work with long-term. I do also accept occasional short-term bookings but I find it most rewarding to continually work with the same families. I have enough time that I can take on a few more long-term clients. However, I keep my schedule very open and forgiving so that I can be there for my current clients' needs. Because of that, I am confident that I can be a relaible source for you to turn to when life isn't so easy to schedule. Last minute bookings, changes, and requests are all okay with me! I fully dedicate Monday-Wednesday to my clients but I am still available if needed other days. The only day that I am notably unavailable is Sundays as I usually travel out of town to visit family. All this to say, I truly care about the work I am doing. And I will truly care about you and your pets. If you think I might be right for you, don't hesitate to reach out! We can work together to see if I would be a good fit for you and your pet. I have a very open schedule and I thrive on chaos. I keep a separate, meticulously updated calendar just for my clients and I take notes on each pet. Safety: I will treat your pet with the dignity, care, and enthusiasm that they deserve. I strive to provide a safe environment and a uniquely tailored experience. If you are a first time client, I may require you to answer a quick questionnaire to help me better understand the needs of you and your pet/s.

“So glad I found Tabatha on Rover. She is flexible, accommodating, and goes above and beyond. It is very comforting knowing Penny is in such good hands.”

“Allison was a fantastic sitter for our cat Millie! She was very attentive and communicative throughout our trip with daily updates. I knew that Millie was in good hands and she sure showed it once we returned home. Will book again!”

“Daniel always does such a great job taking care of our girl! The photos he sends while we’re away make it clear that our pup is getting love and having a blast. We’re so glad to have Daniel close by to help us out!”

Katie B.

“I am very happy with how our dogs seemed to enjoy her visit. Vivian was prompt and communicated with us. I am very happy to have her take care of our girls. I will definitely have her again.”

Lisa C.

“Zaira helped me out with a short notice request to take care of my cat, Ernestine. Prompt and professional in her responses to confirm...checked in and out each visit with pictures...as well as provided a complete report card of Ernestine each day. Would definitely reserve with Zaira, again!”

About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as long well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

“Rachael was wonderful with our dog from the moment they first met. I was having surgery out of town and any concerns faded when I saw how good Rachael was with her right off the bat! One less thing to worry about during my hospital stay. She included adorable photos and details of each visit. In our initial visit with Rachel, it was evident her knowledge, passion and caring for dogs, and I had no doubt our dog would be in great hands. Thank you, Rachael!”

Shirley S.

“Amazing as always, great attention to detail, and very commutative!”

“Molly did an amazing job looking after my 2 cats. She went above and beyond dealing with my difficult diabetic kitty. I can't thank her enough for all the tricks and tactics she did to get my cat a shot when he was being resistant.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I do have a pup of my own, but am still sitting for those that are in need and don’t mind another dog in the home! I am also doing dog-walks and pop-ins! I work from home so your pup wont be alone. Weekends are usually open. I love all sizes and can’t help but spoil any one I meet! I have experience with both small and larger dogs. I would love to walk or jog with your pet, even if it is cold outside depending on what they can handle. Feel free to message me with any questions! I work for myself and from home so I am able to adjust my work schedule pretty well. No dogs have needed to be kenneled while working. I have a pup of my own that loves to play with others. If they do not get along, I have a gate at that can keep them separate-although I have not had this issue yet. We have a big crate that can home your pup when we are out of the house.

“Our pup LOVES Kassy! She has been amazing with her even as she goes through her teething phase, follows our routine and shows up on time. Our cat also loves Kassy which is big bonus points because he doesn’t like anyone but us!”

“It was great experience, my first with Rover, and with Grace. It was all easy, very flexible and I will be sure to contact Grace in the future. She took great care of my cats, telling by how they interacted with her on the photos.”
