1. Victoria B.


“Victoria was amazing. All the boys seemed to have a great time with her while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable leaving. She also left a few extra touches around the house that showed just how well she cared for our home as well.”


2. Mackenzie W.

“Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!”


3. Yasmin M.

“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.”


4. Allison G.

“Allison was AWESOME!!! She took excellent care of our babies. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned home. She communicated often and asked great questions to make sure she was the right things for our babies. She was also very flexible as our leave and return times were not definite. I would highly recommend her!”


5. Sabrina L.

“Sabrina was very attentive and loving towards Disco! She was also great at giving frequent updates. Definitely will book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet-sitter”


6. Summer M.

“Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!”


7. Jessica D.

“Jessica was wonderful with our dogs and the overnights she did for us while we were out of town. She kept us notified of how things were going! Thank you Jessica!!!”


8. Miranda H.

“Miranda did a fabulous job house-sitting and watching our boys! She also went above and beyond keeping the house tidy, and went out of her way to collect our chicken eggs while we were gone! I knew I didnt have to worry about the boys while on vacation, which is always appreciated! Highly recommend her services!”


9. Cassidy W.

“Cassidy is always available to take care of Kuma. She is always sending photos and keeping me updated on their activities!”


10. Cory W.

“Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!”


11. Molly B.


“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”


12. Lisa D.

“Lisa did a great job for us. She is a clear communicator making sure we both had common understanding of schedules etc. Asked questions when needed. She kept us updated on the pets with frequent pictures. Everything was in order on our return home. Evident the pets enjoyed her company.”


13. Madi B.


“Madi was an absolute dream! They provided incredible peace of mind while house sitting and (most importantly) our cat LOVED them! Madi provided regular updates with photos and videos. They had daily playtime with our cat, and even came up with extra enrichment activities! They also made sure to have snuggle time, which was so important for our cat. Madi instantly connected with our cat, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! I would recommend Madi to anyone with pets in a heartbeat!”


14. Christina U.

“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.”


15. Alexis G.


“Alexis is phenomenal. She's great with our two giant dogs, in fact I'm pretty sure one of our dogs like her more than us when she comes over. We've had Alexis several times and would highly recommend to anyone else needing a sitter.”


16. Sandra D.

“Sandy was amazing! She was on time, was a great communicator sending updates and photos and took great care of our two small dogs. The dogs and house were well cared for.”


17. Stacey W.
“Stacey has taken care of my dog and 5 cats since June 2024, when I moved to Des Moines. Every weekend she has cared for them. Stacey makes sure all the pets have food and water. She scoops all the litter boxes. She gives my dog her medications and takes her for walks. She send me updates and pictures. She is very dependable. I never have I worry who is going to take care of everyone while I’m gone at work.”


18. Aaliyah F.
About: I grew up with Labs throughout my childhood. My Grandparent's introduced me to the true love one can feel with a dog. My best doggo Scout, who passed last year, really made me feel like we connected deeply. I could feel in his eyes the love he had for me and I felt so safe with him. I want to make sure your pup feels loved and safe while you're away, as at times they can feel anxiety or scared. I believe my strongest strength when it comes to pet care is being able to discern what your pet needs based on how their feeling. Pet care fits into my schedule in a way that will enhance the joy and purposefulness I feel in my life. I currently work an 8 am-5 pm job and integrating pet care into my weekly routine or weekends will allow me to feel like I'm giving back to my community through supporting folks who are also trying to fit being a pet parent into their daily routine. I care for pets in an observant way. I think it's important to be aware of your pet's body language and how their feeling. I feel comfortable with navigating any routines and feeding times you have for your pet.


19. Carlee S.

“Will use Carlee again! Such a nice person and has a lot of dog experience. Kept us up to date.”
