“Monica was absolutely amazing! Our cat Nala escaped prior to us leaving and was gone for 6 days before we found her. She only had 2 days with us before we left town. Monica was so incredibly understanding with Nala’s extra needs while we were away. We needed to adjust our schedule to have her come daily and Monica was quick to adjust for us. It made me feel so much more at ease knowing Monica was there to check in on her. She always stayed the allotted 30 minutes and was patient with Nala even when Nala didn’t want to be bothered. Monica sent an amazing report card with pictures, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving her behind after returning home from her big adventure. We can’t wait to use Monica again!”
“Ali did a wonderful Job! This was our first time using Rover, Ali took great care of our cats and we will for sure be rebooking next time we go out of town!”
“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”
“Cory has helped me out a couple times before and I'll continue to use him in the future. He is professional, timely, and communicates very well. Thank you!”
“Morgan was great! I appreciated the pictures and communication while I was away. She gave me peace of mind and took wonderful care of my animals! I’ll definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Lisa did an outstanding job taking care of our two cats. Our cats aren't usually good with strangers, but they seem to like Lisa. Lisa provides detailed reports and great photos, giving us peace of mind while we're away. Lisa also brought in our mail and watered the flowers.”
“This is my second time having Andrea and she is great! She remembered specifics about the kitties and always takes the best pictures of them so I don’t miss them too much. Thanks Andrea!”
“Troy helped us out in a pinch today and was able to add an additional drop-in at the last minute. Our golden retriever has a mind of her own and he successfully navigated her routine. I will definitely contact Troy again.”
“Allison did a perfect job checking in on my two cats while I was out of town. Booking her was fast and easy. She is punctual, respectful, follows directions, and is very communicative. She gave a thorough update and went above and beyond in her care. I definitely recommend booking with her. Thanks again, Allison!”
“Daniel was amazing! He took great care of our German Shepherd on extremely short notice. Sent pictures and consistent updates! We will use him again and highly recommend Daniel!”
“I have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!”
About: I’m the go-to petsitter in my friend group! I grew up on a farm with dozens of pets and I love getting to know new animals. I am open to caring for any critters and can’t wait to give your animal some one-on-one attention. I have a flexible full time job (M-F, 9-5) where I travel around the DSM area which allows me to stop in and check on pets whenever. I’m free on nights and weekends. I’m diligent when it comes to privacy and safety and believe in treating every animal and home with care. I think communication with owners is huge and I like to check in frequently.
“Tanya took excellent care of our two cats once again! She gave them lots of attention while we were gone. We will definitely rebook for our next trip!”
About: I have grown up with and cared for cats my entire life. I have also owned a large breed size dog and been fur friends with many, many other pups. After a short stint of working in the office, I am back home 7 days a week again! This will ensure lots of time & attention with your fur friend! We’re excited to be back!!! 🐾 I live in an apartment complex, but a fenced in area is directly behind my building if that’s what you prefer for your pet. Its a quieter neighborhood with not a lot of traffic so it’s nice to take walks in too 🙂
