Jane has watched our two kitties before and does an awesome job of taking care of them and communicating with us. We come home to happy, healthy cats 🙂

Allison is a fabulous pet sitter. We have had her stay in our home with our pets twice while we traveled out of state. The pups happy and stress free when we return. Allison is a great communicator and I love the periodic photos of my dogs. I especially appreciate that she is respectful of our home and feel comfortable having her in our space when we are gone. I highly recommend her services.

Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of animal experience combined with 12 years of professional pet care. From dogs and cats to horses, ferrets, rabbits, chickens, and fish, I understand that every animal has unique needs. Weather it's administering medications, caring for senior pets with a gentle touch, or simply providing companionship and love, I treat every pet as if they were my own so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind. As someone who has spent a lifetime around animals, pet care is already part of my everyday life. I understand how important routine is for animals and strive to maintain their normal schedule so they feel safe, comfortable, and lived while their family is away. At this time I am unable to bring your pet home with me. But I happy to stay with them in there home. I am a responsible adult with great love for animals.

Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜

Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

Molly was absolutely fabulous! While we were gone we received lots of pictures from her letting us know how things were going and that our babies were enjoying their time with her. I usually am anxious when we go out of town about how things are going but was completely relaxed during our entire trip! This was our first time using Rover and everything went very smoothly!

Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.

About: Feeding, watering, and exercising your four-legged family members is the easy part. My priority is making sure your furry friends feel loved and special while you’re not able to be there. I know the stress and worry of having to be away and hoping your pet is being well-cared for. I am there to ease your mind and to make it less stressful for you and your pet. I am an expert cat and dog snuggler and have been known to be a cat whisperer for those felines that don’t warm up easily. Although I am new to this platform, I am not new to taking care of pets. I have been a cat and dog owner for over 30 years. I am also a proud cat/dog auntie for my nieces and nephew’s pets. Over the years I have also watched many friends pets while they travel. For most of last year while traveling for work, I housesat and watched furry loved ones through another platform while traveling for work in the DC area. I have been in healthcare for more than two decades, but I am currently on a break to work on some new projects. That work happens in my home office and I am my own boss. So my schedule is open and flexible. I am also comfortable taking care of special medical issues your pet may have.

About: ***So you want a housesitter?Please read carefully before booking. ***I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be w/me for housesitting and boarding assignments*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services. Very flexible and try to respond promptly bc we all have busy lives. I do not have a crate. Bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***Housesitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight housesitting assignments. He's house-trained, does not shed and very friendly with people and other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

Megan did a wonderful job of caring for our 2 dogs, cat, and home for 8 days. Our youngest dog is under a year and can be a handful at times and our other dog requires daily eye drops, but Megan managed their care without issue. Megan also took very good care of our home, even washed all the towels and linens used during her stay! She cared for our pets and home as of they were her own and we will use her services again.

Shelbi was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She treated my pet like family and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of while I was away. The updates, photos, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious that my pet was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a well-cared-for, relaxed pet made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Shelbi highly enough. I would gladly book with her again and encourage anyone considering her services to do the same. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gabby was amazing! We were visiting Des Moines for the day and had to get a sitter on a really short notice. Gabby responded immediately and came to spend the day with our Effie while we were away. Effie loved her and was really relaxed with her, even though she's not used to being away from us. Tons of thanks Gabby, you really saved us!
