House Sitting in Carpenter, Des Moines, IA

“Allison watched our dog and 3 cats for 2 weeks and did a fantastic job taking care of them and our house! She is clearly an animal person and we know our pets are in good hands with her!”

“Kelli was wonderful!! We had her stay with our dog for a few nights when we were on vacation. Kelli came over prior to her stay to meet us and make sure we had all our questions asked. It was clear our dog really liked Kelli and she was always great with communication. We’ll be sure to book her again!!”

“Daniel was amazing! He agreed to watch Jc last minute which was a huge blessing! I would 100% recommend Daniel as he made sure Jc felt safe and loved!”

“Thank you Dawn for caring for Kirby so well. You have a gentle intuitive way to calm our senior dog, and we knew he was well cared for and loved.”

“Meg is simply the best! This was her second time staying at our house with Benji, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s so kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. Benji absolutely lights up when he sees her. She kept us updated with photos and check-ins, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. We came home to a happy pup, a tidy house, and zero stress. It honestly feels like leaving Benji with family. Meg, thank you for loving on our boy and taking such great care of him (and our home!). We’re so grateful for you and can’t wait to have you back!”

“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!!”

“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”

“Katlin went above and beyond for my newly adopted dog that is adjusting to a new place. So thankful I found her on this site. I will be using her again in the future!”

About: I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments. He's house-trained and does not shed and very friendly with other dogs.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention.

“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.”

“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.”

Maddie T.

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. 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.”

“Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.”

Brittany M.

“Torina was excellent at caring for my 2 dogs over the weekend. Our dogs have different activity levels and needs, and she was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures while we were away and left the house clean. I've already booked her again for another stay:)”

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.

“Raelyn took excellent care of our Lab while we were out of town. She provided lots of updates with pictures and very communicative with us. We have already rebooked her!”
