“This was our first time using Rover. We asked Lisa to see about helping us out when we were going out of town because she has many repeat customers and great reviews. She agreed to watch our cats and came to our house prior to meet the cats and get any special directions. Lisa asked questions and even got to pet a few of our cats. During out vacation she stopped by and kept us updated on how things were going including pictures! Thanks Lisa! We look forward to seeing you next vacation!”

14. Nathaniel R.
“I originally bonded with Nathaniel over our shared love of pets. We both have black cats and it became clear very quickly that he took extremely good care of his Olivia. Everyday, he feed her a combination of healthy raw meat recommended by his vet. Since I've known him, not only has he taken great care of my cats when I needed him to, he and his wife have also been known to volunteer at their local pet shelters. I would definitely recommend Nathaniel to anyone who needed someone responsible, detail-oriented, and caring to take care of their pets.”

17. Alexandria F.
About: Born and raised a dog lover! I’ve have 5 dogs throughout my life that I have loved so dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of my friend’s dogs in HS and college. I love to go on walks, so why not bring your pup with me! I unfortunately do not have my own dog at this time with my significant other, but I hope to get one soon! I am a teacher who is taking a small step back in education to focus on my health. I know your dogs will help me A LOT during this transition, and they will be under great care. I currently live in an apartment in Des Moines, so I am also available for drop-ins to ensure your pup is comfortable at home! I am willing to travel to different to parts of the metro to help you and your pup!
