“Right when we walked in Wilbur sniffed out the toys and bully sticks! Cynthia kept us updates with pictures and videos of Wilbur running around and playing in the yard all weekend.”

“My little guy Giuseppe had SUCH a great time with Buttercup. I received daily communication and pictures/vides. Robbie and her family were wonderful and I would highly recommend!”

“Meagan took exceptional care of our Maycee! She sent regular updates daily and kept us informed on what she was doing and how she was doing. I really felt like she was being cared for by a friend or family member after meeting Meagan just once. This was the first time we have used Rover and having Meagan care for our dog gave us such piece of mind.”

“Gracie loves coming over and Jessica is her favorite! She treats our dog like family and did an awesome job of sending pics almost nightly. She’s always top of our list! ❤️”

“Always the best! Coco and I absolutely love Alice! She is always accommodating to my schedule, has great availability, takes awesome care of my girl, and my girl adores her time with her and her dog! So lucky to have found Alice 🥰”

“Casandra was absolutely amazing! You can tell she has so much love for the animals in her care. We were kept up to date with updates throughout the entire stay and Penny looked like she has so much fun with Casandra! Book with her!”


“They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!”

“Our pups had an amazing time and they were cared for as if we were caring for them ourselves! Can’t say enough great things. Will definitely bring them back in the future!”


“I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.”

“Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!”

“Mackenzie and Anthony took great care of our pup! They treated him how we would, making him feel at home. We received plenty of updates, and our dog always looked so happy. We would recommend them for others needing a sitter!”

“Sadie loved her stay, with Kim and her family! Kim does a great job of updating you daily, and also sends pics daily, as well! They took great care of our fur baby, and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter! 🙂”

“Andrea was one of a kind sitter. She took great care of our fuzzball, so well that we could enjoy our vacation without worries. She responded quickly to all our messages and sent us pictures. She went above and beyond to accomodate our delayed flight. So very sorry, Andrea. Will definitely book again when we are in the area. Highly recommend Andrea!”


“Cory was very responsive and had great communication before and during Moose’s stay! When we picked up Moose after his stay he was happy and tired. He even got to meet new friends! Cory was easy going and handled my high energy dog well!”

“Hannah was amazing! She showed our sweet Butter so much love and we felt totally comfortable and confident that our anxious dog was being cared for so well the entire time we were away. Hannah sent tons of photos and updates which is always the best. We highly recommend her and would leave Butter with her again in a heartbeat.”

“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”

Garton West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amazing! A Huge Thank You and Shout Out to Rex! My frenchie has never stayed with someone else before and my anxiety was through the roof. Rex instantly connected with Oliver and made him feel right at home! I loved the communication and the pictures of their day. It definitely put me at ease while I was out of town! I 100% recommend Rex and will be using him for all my future boarding needs! Thank You Rex! Oliver says Thank You too! 💙

Megan was absolutely incredible!! She accepted our request to watch Maverick last minute & was very accommodating. He loved running around her big yard & hanging out with her dogs. She sent lots of photo updates. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety but he was perfectly great & happy with her. If you need someone in the Des Moines area, 10/10 couldn’t recommend enough!!✨
