Pet Sitting in Grimes

“We had a great experience with Nejra. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We got helpful updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book again and recommend her to others.”

Amy J.

“Andrea did a great job at taking care of our dogs. She spent a lot of time with them and made sure they were taken care of while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”

Mikayla W.

“Alisa did a great job with a drop in visit to feed and let our dog outside. She arrived timely, stayed the appropriate amount of time and took a couple photos for us.”

Nicole K.

“Very caring and absolutely prompt in all communications and caring for our baby kitty Isabelle. We definitely are planning on booking her later this month.”

Daniel M.

“Jessica was an excellent choice to catsit while we were away for Christmas. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures each visit. She was also kind enough to take out our trash, bring in the mail, and she kept the litterbox spotless. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

Sean G.

“Tiffanie did a great job of taking care of my two large dogs, Sadie and Tucker. Her response time was the speediest ever! She was able to accommodate my request for a drop-in visit with less than 48 hours notice. My dogs were well taken care of and the photo updates are always a nice touch! I will definitely use Tiffanie again!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life! I have two dogs myself who are my whole life. I’ve spent so much time learning about dogs and different breeds. I have also worked at a boarding and daycare facility for almost two years. I am currently working full time at a retail store. I do have an hour long break where I can go home to let the dogs out to pee and for a short walk. If you don’t mind the working schedule then I would love to house ur animals. I take my dogs for a walk every morning and night. I also come home on my break to give them some love. I also have a big apartment dog park that the dogs can go and play in.

“Lynsey has been great with our pups and even available for last minute bookings which I appreciate. She’s always taken great care of the dogs and sent us the pics of them enjoying her care. Thanks for what you do!”

“Emily always takes such great care of my sunny and he adores her! She listens to concerns I have as a new puppy mom and always makes sure I stay informed as to how my little guy is doing while I’m at work and away . Her commitment to dogs shows and gives me peace of mind that my puppy is taken care of when I can’t be there .”

About: I have worked with dogs for a long time, i worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and now at a grooming salon. I have a lot of experience with small dogs, big dogs, young dogs, and old dogs. I also have experience administering meds, doing nail trims, etc. i’m currently working full time but can be available after 6 during the week. My weekends are pretty open and will continue to be open as the weather is getting warm. I am very cautious of my surroundings and care for everyone’s pets as much as I do my own and I am definitely a helicopter pet mom so your pup will be very well taken care of in my care.

“Jen was so great with my cat and dog! They enjoyed her time with them and she was great at communicating how things went while she was here. She’s staying at my house this weekend with them and I am 100% confident that my kiddos will have a great time with her again! I’ll definitely use her again and I’d totally recommend her! ?”

“Ashley got my shy cat to warm up to her and she took great care of him. The great pictures she emailed said a lot. I will definitely want to rebook with her! Thanks Ashley!”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah, but I go by Sam. Thank you so much for your consideration! Ever since I was a child, I’ve always loved having pets. There was hardly a time when I didn’t have some kind of companion in my life. Growing up, I had a variety of different pets, but most of my experience is with dogs, cats, birds, and rodents! However, I love all kinds of creatures (I’ve even had tarantulas)! These days, my boyfriend and I share an Aussie named Newman that we love to spoil. I’m a former doggy daycare attendant and dog groomer, so I have some experience handling pets of varying energy levels and temperaments. I also have some experience with pets that have special needs. This is my only job and my main source of income (I do sometimes volunteer my free time with Iowa Bird Rehabilitation doing transport), so when I’m sitting your pup, I’m sitting FULL TIME! It’s something I enjoy doing, and I’ve found that I get the most joy out of spending time taking care of client’s pets. Some day I do hope to go to school for something animal behavior or social service related, but I’m still trying to figure that out! I’m very understanding and adaptable to whatever schedule you’ve got set for your pets, so that they still have the sense of security that comes from having a routine! During house sittings, I ALWAYS offer overnight care to ensure your pets have someone to spend time with them around the clock. I always keep a close eye when at home with pets to ensure nothing goes awry, and I always make sure they are safely secured if they need to be left alone for a period of time. Water is always made available unless otherwise specified. I love to spoil pets with treats when I can but I’m very good at following instructions if they have a strict diet, physical limitations, medications, etc.

“Great communication. Really appreciate the extra attention and love she gave to our sweet boy! 🩷 Thanks Melissa!”

About: Animal lover and owner for 15+ years, with experience caring for dogs, cats, snakes, and a crested gecko. I genuinely love caring for pets, whether they’re mine or yours! I’m always happy to help keep them safe, loved, and well cared for As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is naturally flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I love being able to use that flexibility to help care for other families’ pets whenever they need it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your animals with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow all routines closely, provide plenty of love and supervision, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

“Karly is always amazing with our fur babies. She was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate a later shift for my husband and she stopped back to check on them so we didn’t have to worry. Love that she is so reliable and loves them like we do.”

Shelly M.

“I highly recommend Emily! We will definitely be having her come visit our pets again.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for much of my life and am excited to bring those skills to Rover. I have owned my own dog for 6 years now and have learned a ton about having a dog that requires boundaries and maintenance for triggers of his reactivity. I’ve learned patience and am happy to do that for your furry friends as well! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which gives me the flexibility to leave for drop-in visits throughout the day and after work! Tuesday-Thursdays can also be arranged if your home is near my office - contact me for details! While I’m unable to care for others’ pets in my own home since my pup prefers human friends, I will care for your pet in any way you need in your own home. I prefer homes where I can let your pet out into a fenced yard but am happy to take pets out on a leash if they are leash trained and/or you prepare me for their behavior.

“While we debated having someone come check in on the cats while we were going for two nights, we are glad we had Sara come. We ended up having a water leak with water dripping through the ceiling. Sara let us know about this and put towels and bowls under the drips to lessen the damage from the water. Thank you, Sara! :)”
