“Jane was a wonderful house guest. She treated our dogs like it was a Disney vacation. Sent loads of photos and kept us updated all weekend. She even took this call last minute. We were very thankful to keep our dogs in their home and not boarded. I would recommend Jane and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“He was an amazing sitter. Was very attentive to what my dogs needed and took great care of them. Will definitely continue to book future visits with him!”

“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”

“Allison saved the day when my plans fell through for my watching my dogs. I was super nervous to leave them with an unkown. After meeting with Allison i knew everything would be great. My dogs were comfortable and happy. I will definately book with Allison again!”

“Christina took great care of my puppy and my house for her week-long stay! She provided frequent updates and cared for my pup as if she was her own. My pup is prone to tummy trouble and gobbling up fabric that she shouldn't, and Christina was diligent to keep things out of reach and attentive to her feeding schedule. She left my house exactly as she found it and even took the trash out and watered my plants. I can't recommend her more highly!”

“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! 💜”

“Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.”

“Aaliyah was so sweet and took great care of our dog! She regularly sent updates and photos, and left our home cleaner than it was when she got there. I cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨”

“She was so awesome and very good with our babies kept in touch sent pics and videos each day , very respectful and kind really cared about the animals and there care and even volunteered to stay little extra time when she knew we were flying home and there was cokd and snow back here incase we were delayed 100 percent will have her watch again”


“Kayla did amazing taking care of our house and pups! Her pics and updates gave us peace of mind leaving the dogs at home during our trip. We definitely would have her watch them again.”


“Kendra was great! Excellent communication, responsed quickly, and took great care of our girl and house! When she was gone I could barely tell anyone had been here. Got some great pictures too. We would happily book with her again”

“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.”

About: I have had animals most of my life and regularly cat sit for friends and family. I am great in emergencies and a kind caring responsible person who will treat your pets like my own. I am calm quiet and gentle by nature and animals tend to pick up on that and like me. I’m always respectful of others homes. I am available 24/7 365 days a year I am happy to work around your schedule and available most hours of the day or night I follow whatever instructions are needed and I let my dogs out to potty every two hours along with cleaning litter boxes and plenty of playtime and snuggles. I also respect privacy and personal property and am not a person to mess with your stuff.
“Maddie was awesome! She took great care of both of my dogs and kept me updated the entire time. She made me so comfortable while I was away and I knew my dogs were having such a great time! I would definitely book with Maddie again and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. She goes above and beyond! ?”

“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”

Garton West pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shelbi did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our dog. Our dog can be pretty anxious when we’re away, but we felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Shelbi was communicative, reliable, and respectful of our home. We came back to a happy dog and a well-cared-for house. We’d absolutely book with her again!

Jane was a wonderful house guest. She treated our dogs like it was a Disney vacation. Sent loads of photos and kept us updated all weekend. She even took this call last minute. We were very thankful to keep our dogs in their home and not boarded. I would recommend Jane and will definitely be booking with her again!

Claudia was excellent! She stayed with our crazy pups for a week and they loved her. We have two 50+ lb pit mixes. She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos. Great communication. Everything went smoothly and I’d highly recommend booking with her! We’ll definitely be back for future travels.

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!

Baby told me Mikah is the Best! She plays ball with her, cuddles, feeds her, ensures she stays hydrated, & even brings her Toys to share! And on top of Cat care, Mikah cleans the home, towels, bedding! 5 Stars Every Stay! If you can book Mikah, don’t miss your chance. She even sends the cutest cat pics.
