House Sitting in Des Moines

“Brendon was amazing in watching our two cats (5 month old kitten and 12 year old senior cat) and teenager dog. Brendon has been our go to for walking our dog Milo and this was the first time we utilized Brendon’s services for pet sitting over an extended weekend. Brendon was incredibly communicative and provided updates multiple times during each day. We have a highly anxious pup that is also dog reactive on leash - Brendon is really great working with our dog and manages him with such care. We are grateful for Brendon’s excellent services and would recommend him with bells and whistles on!”

“Brittney and Megan were absolute angels!! From the moment I booked with them, they went above and beyond—checking in with me every day, sending the cutest, most beautiful photos of my babies, and most importantly, loving them like their own. 🥹💛 Knowing they were safe, snuggled, and genuinely cared for brought my anxiety down more than I can say. I could feel the warmth and peace they created in my absence. I will never be able to thank them enough—and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in a heartbeat. Truly the dream team. 💫🐾✨”

“Kaitlyn was very communicative and respectful of our home. One of our cats behaved differently than we expected - hiding under a bed. Kaitlyn let us know what was happening and adjusted the care plan based on our feedback. She went above and beyond: brought in packages for me, handled the pets' dirty dishes, and reset the linens when she was done. Thank you Kaitlyn!”

“Emma was amazing. She was communicative and gave us lots of updates. She sent lots of videos and photos. She handled all four of our dogs and made sure they had individual time. Would definitely recommend Emma and will reaching out to her again if we need another sitter!”

“As we have already told Larcy, if we could leave a 10 star review... we would!!! We were nervous about trying this service because we have had bad luck in the past but from day one she put us at ease and we knew our girl cats were in great hands. We would recommend her 10 times over!!! She was thorough, the communication was great, and she sent daily pictures and updates. While we were gone we felt like our girls were with us the whole time. Thank you and we will be calling you again. :) 😁”

“John was an amazing sitter! Our dogs warmed up to him right away. You can tell he really likes animals. He was prompt, communicative, followed the care list and shared great updates everyday. We felt so at ease on our vacation knowing that John was taking such good care of them. We would absolutely have him house sit again. Thank you!”

“Kathleen was a true professional from the start. She was communicative and prompt. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. She even went the extra mile and took care of our gardens and chickens. She left the house tidy and it was clear she'd been very respectful of our home during our 2 week trip.”

“Danielle was kind, responsive, and responsible! She took good care of our two goofy pups at our home, sent pics, was very communicative- would definitely book again!”

“Brandy is awesome!! It was my first time using a Rover and Brandy made the experience so easy and great. Got lots of pictures of my dogs looking very happy and loved on. Will happily work with her again in the future. Thanks Brandy!”

“Lois is fantastic! We highly recommend her and hope to utilize her house sitting service again for future trips. She was quick to respond to our initial booking request and made scheduling a meet and greet with our busy schedule a breeze. We've never had a house sitter before, but our puppy Biscuit has severe separation anxiety and so we hoped that being able to stay in his own home would help while we were away. He seemed very at ease with her from the first moment, and we knew he'd be well taken care of. Lois is very professional, friendly and is obviously a dog lover and very compassionate. She showed great care and patience with our hyper puppy, and we came home to a very happy and healthy pup! Thank you!”

“Sheena, Did an amazing job!! She watched our pups for the first time and was very attentive and thorough. The dogs loved her. Thank you for taking such good care of our doggies.”

“Mary is a fabulous house and pet sitter!!! She’s very conscientious about following instructions. Our home was in better condition after our trip than before. Most importantly she spent quality time with our cats! And cared for our parakeets too. She shared updates regularly. Cats and birds were happy when we returned home! I’ve used three other sitters from Rover before. Mary is the best!”

About: I have spent summers sitting for pets of family friends. I balance my life and job with the lives of the pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, and households with all three. I also have experience caring for a special needs dog who is paralyzed in the lower body. I am currently in between summer jobs so I have lots of availability! I can do any day of the week with most hours of the day. I am responsible and organized with tasks and materials. I prioritize the experience of the animals to ensure a smooth stay. I consistently attend to directions and limits placed by clients.

“Olivia did a great job taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She checked in frequently with pictures of the animals and gave them lots of attention. She also left the house extra clean. I would be delighted to work with her again!”

“Kayleigh was great. She was super responsive to email/texts, and I think our dog is bummed that we're home. Piper got a lot of walks, was well cared for, and we'll definitely book Kayleigh again.”
