“Thank you so much for such a great first time experience. We appreciate the daily updated and pictures. My Gandalf will definitely visit again in the future. Thanks again.”

“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!”

About: My family of 3 lost our best boy last fall after 13 years together and are looking for some dog friends to fill out hearts part-time. We have a fenced yard for easy potty breaks and my 4 year old will love on your pup like crazy. I work full-time outside our house Mon-Thurs but I work from home on Fridays. On weekends when we are dogsitting we will be home most of the time. I used to take my pup on a daily walk so glad to bring that back into my routine We have no other animals in the house. A fenced backyard with room to roam. Dogs are welcome on the furniture. Willing to do medication as needed and whatever else your dog may need to be healthy and happy during their stay. We are only taking kid-friendly dogs as my 4 year old has requested "nice dogs only". I have experience with reactive dogs as long as it is primarily other dogs they are reactive to for the safety of my kiddo.
“Alice did a great job with our dog. She communicated just the right amount and even cared for him over a major holiday. I think she even gave him a bath. Would definitely recommend!”

“Meagan is amazing! Our dog always has a blast with her. Meagan is easy to communicate with and clearly cares very much for our dog. We will definitely ask her to help again.”

“Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.”


“Sadie enjoyed her stay with Lisa so much, I'm not sure she wanted to come home! She even had her own Thanksgiving dinner. We appreciated the pictures and updates during her stay. Thanks!”

“Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Kim and her family have been so welcoming and patient toward our dog that can be skittish toward people and other dogs. It gives us such a peace of mind when we drop her off, we'd definitely recommend!”

“Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!”


“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.”

“This is our second time having Butter stay with Hannah and we will absolutely be asking her again in the future. Butter gets so much love and care, we get tons of photos, and we feel totally confident leaving her with Hannah. It is such a blessing. Thank you so much Hannah!”

“Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!”

“I think Missy has got to be the best sitter my dog Bella has ever had. Not only did Missy welcome the challenge of a spicy chihuahua but she mastered it. By the end she let her hold her! And if any of you are owners of little anxious dogs you know this is a big deal!! Missy also did a great job communicating with us and sending tons of photos which we appreciated. Having Bella stay with Missy made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing Bella was in good hands. Would highly recommend booking with Missy and I’m sure Bella looks forward to her next visit!”


“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”

“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!”

“It was our dogs' first time staying with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous at first... but upon meeting, we were immediately put at ease. Our dogs had a blast and were absolutely treated with the same love and snuggles our family gives. We loved the updates, and both dogs came home ready for a long nap from lots of playtime with their new friends. We are grateful and will definitely use Mackenzie and Anthony again!! Thank you, thank you!!”

“Rachael was amazing. She responded back quickly and got a meet & greet done with. She listened to instructions and seems passionate about canine care! Definitely recommend and will continue to hire her!”

Gray's Woods dog parents share their Rover experiences
Robbie and her family are amazing, friendly and took great care of my fur babies. Quick response to my texts and sent several videos to keep me updated. She even slept on the couch the first night to help calm down my anxious fur baby!! 🥹 Will recommend Robbie to my family and friends. 😊💕

Aly did such a great job with my two dogs. This is the first time they were left with someone other than family. She was great with communications and photos. I was nervous about leaving them for a week while on vacation out of state. I think both of them had a great time. We will definitely use her in the future.

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!!✨
