Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!

Allison is always super flexible with my last minutes bookings & changes. It’s a huge weight off of my shoulders to know that my pup is checked in on when she’s alone at home all day!

Daniel was our first Rover sitter and was the only person I contacted who met my standards. He is excellent at responding to my messages quickly and is very patient with all of my instructions. I asked Daniel to use my puppy's training commands and he did as asked. He gave her positive reinforcements throughout their visit. He sent many photos of our active, happy pup. I fully trust him being in our home unattended. Daniel was on time for our Meet & Greet appointment and our puppy's first home visit, which sadly other people do not to seem to think is important. I appreciate his professionalism as he understands THIS IS A JOB, not something to fit in his day if/when it is convenient for him, as other potential sitters represented. Thank you so much Daniel.

We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.

Excellent sitter. She went above and beyond for my baby. She followed my instructions on care and graciously added another day for me when I was stuck due to the snow storm. I am extremely grateful to her. She was very kind and gentle to my fur baby through her tantrums 😩😩😩. Recommend her. 10 stars.

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

I have a really old dog who is mostly blind and quite arthritic and tends to get really lethargic and depressed when I’m not around, and Natasha took incredible care of my sweet boy!!!! I was shocked that she was able to get him to go for a walk each time she went, but it just proves how amazing she is! I really appreciated the pictures and detailed descriptions of her visits! I miss my pets so much when I’m gone and there’s nothing better than feeling 100% sure your pet is in excellent hands. You want to feel like your pet is being loved the way you love them when you’re there and Natasha does that!!

Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!

About: **Currently visiting my hometown in Des Moines for the summer! Contact me for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting!** Hi, I’m Maddie! I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My apartment is dog-friendly with a fenced dog park just steps from my door, perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have no pets or children, so your dog will have a calm, cozy space all to themselves. My partner, Austin, also works from home and helps me care for the dogs. We’re a team, and your pup will get double the love! Dogs have always been family to me. I’ve grown up with them and have cared for all kinds from playful pups to senior dogs needing daily medication. Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, or cuddles after a busy day, we treat every dog like our own and do everything we can to make them feel happy, safe, and right at home. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, your pup will get plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m available for regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and walks whenever your dog needs them. I’m here to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and companionship. However, because I work from home, I cannot accept dogs that bark or howl indoors for long periods of time. I treat every dog like family, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. My partner and I live in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with plenty of room to play, plus a fenced dog park just steps away for potty breaks and outdoor fun. We also love taking dogs on walks at Papago Park. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and will follow your instructions. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, keeping off certain furniture, or special care needs, I’m here to make sure your pup feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

Carly took care of our 3 dogs for us while we were gone. She did an amazing job! Kept us updated, asked any questions that came up, sent pictures, and really put us at ease. We have never left our dogs with anyone before and we could not be more pleased with how Carly did! I would highly recommend her to anyone, and we will happily use her services again in the future. Thanks Carly!!

Madison was absolutely fantastic! She was accommodating, personable, punctual, and wonderful with both my Yorkie and Persian cat. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel completely confident that my pets were in great hands. Her reports were thorough and detailed, and she sent plenty of photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She spent quality time playing with my pets, took my dog on walks, and clearly treated them with genuine care and affection. She also kept the house tidy and made sure pet bowls and feeding areas were always clean. Madison went above and beyond in every aspect of her care and truly exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter.
