Cat Sitting in Des Moines

“Monica was truly the best. We were gonna for two and a half weeks for our wedding and honeymoon & Monica treated our bengal cat like royalty by going above and beyond. She keeps you updated with daily messages, pictures, and responds quickly to any questions and requests. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Jenevieve was incredible to work with! Very communicative and made sure to let us know when she’d be early/late. Will definitely book with her again when we need someone!”

“Tanya took such great care of my kitty Jazz while I was out of town - she took extra care to give her attention and show her love when she seemed lonely, and followed her high-maintenance feeding instructions and schedule schedule perfectly. Tanya went above and beyond, and was even able to do an extra drop-in on very short notice when I had to leave earlier than expected. I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing Tanya was taking care of Jazz!”

“Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!”

“Cory was great taking care of our three cats. Very dependable with daily visits (we were gone nearly three weeks). We would book with him again.”

“We love Chelsie, she is always there when we need her to watch our kitty, Lotto! I tell all my family and friends if they ever need someone to watch their pets to look on Rover for her! She takes time to change out his water bowl, make sure he has food and scoops his litter even! I also love that she sends me pictures of him and keeps me informed the whole time she’s there. Thanks Chelsie! 😊”

“Javon was so kind and thorough. I could see how comfortable my cats were with her by how calm they were when I got home. I’ll definitely book with Javon again.”

“Tarah was a very good communicator and showed up to the house on a consistent schedule for my two cats. She sent plenty of pictures and they looked happy! Made me comfortable leaving them in her care!”

“Jessica was a lifesaver on short notice. She took great care of our babies and sent photos. We got a super cute letter from the kitties :) It was nice to know they were loved on in our absence!”

“Andrea did a wonderful job with our two kitties and our fish. Even my shy cat liked her immediately! She provided thorough updates and great pictures. I would absolutely trust Andrea to watch my pets again in the future.”

“Nichole is amazing! She was great at communicating when we were setting everything up and our cat warmed up to her very quickly; they were already cuddling by the second day! We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Nichole was taking care of our boy!”

“Lisa was INCREDIBLE! I left my cat, Marley, with her for three weeks while I was out of the country. As a helicopter pet mom, I felt so comfortable knowing Marley was in Lisa’s care. She sent me photos regularly and Marley looked so happy in all of them. I genuinely felt that she was giving him the same amount of love he gets when he’s at home. So much so I was worried he wouldn’t be ready to come home when I picked him up! I cannot say enough good things about Lisa.”

“Keirston was terrific! She had excellent communication, provided me with updates and photos and I could enjoy my vacation without worry for my kitties. I would definitely recommend her again!”

“Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.”

“Sidney did a wonderful job house-sitting our 2 kitties. It was our first time using rover so we were a bit nervous, but she was great about communication & giving frequent updates. Our house was even cleaner than we had left it! We would very much recommended Sidney for pet sitting and would use her for future trips.”

“Kendra was absolutely perfect! We had her check on our cat while we were gone for a week. Kendra sent daily photos, as well as an update on her food, water, and demeanor that day! She even watered my plants for me! Highly recommend, and we'll definitely use her again in the future!”

“Caron looked after Simba for a month while we were away internationally! I could not be happier with the loving, thoughtful, detailed care she provided him! We had daily updates and she went out of her way to make sure Simba was always happy! ? We couldn’t recommend Caron more! Thank you for such wonderful care of Simba, Caron! ?”

“Steven was so great! He was very attentive and thoughtful towards our two cats and our home. He went above and beyond with photos, updates, and cleaning up their inevitable messes! Our cats have a new friend!”

“Super friendly, easy to coordinate with and attentive. Rambo is not a fan of almost anyone and he let Stephanie pet him so that’s a win in my book! I received updates every time she checked on him and a picture of him. Would absolutely book her again!!”

About: I have been blessed by kitties since I was 8 years old, having lived with eight so far over my life and said goodbye to five. I have had three puppy dogs, a shorkie raised from a puppy, a shy and previously abused pibble, and our senior German Shepherd/Siberian Husky baby. I have been able to be there for fur children when they crossed the rainbow bridge, both my babies and babies that I found injured in the road who deserved a better fate. I have experience administering oral medication to dogs and cats and brushing and trimming the nails of willing cats. I have senior dog experience including lifting medium size dogs into vehicles and onto beds, patience with their toileting and occasional accidents, and finding innovative ways to convince them to take their medication. I have potty trained and socialized a puppy as well. I work from home and am taking some time to reevaluate my business and next career so I am generally available during the day on weekdays. I am presently not available before 9:00 am as I have a standing appointment in the mornings. I am periodically available in the evenings and weekends. Please check my schedule for availability. I care for pets in others' homes in a manner that ensures that their pets are safe first and foremost, which includes locating all animals during my visit (even those kitties that like to hide), ensuring that nothing has been disrupted that could cause harm, and making sure they have access to fresh water, toilet, and food. I follow instructions from the client and ask for clarification if needed. I do my best to leave their home in the same state it was in when they left it. I am presently not caring for others' pets in my home as my cats seem to prefer to keep our household at our current number of members.
