“Lisa is amazing with my dog Sunny!! She has helped me with him several times and she always takes such good care of him <3 it’s wonderful to know that he is in good hands while I am away from Home! Lisa always leaves my home clean comfy and tidy and I appreciate her so much!! She is Sunnys Auntie Lisa :)”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. Our sitter Kae was wonderful with our two newly adopted dogs and sent us daily updates via photos and video. She had no problem watching out for our geese and feeding our wild birds. She provided us peace of mind, knowing someone dependable was watching our home.”
“We’ve utilized Tom to watch our dogs multiple times at our home. It’s so comforting to be away and know that our dogs are being cared for and in great hands! Tom is our “go to” for anytime we have to leave our dogs behind.”
“Peggy was so great with our three dogs. We will absolutely trust her with our dogs again and would strongly recommend her to any pet parent, especially one with some special needs. We have two Papillions (13+14 years old) who both have their own issues. Our male is standoffish with people and doesn’t like anyone but he accepted her. Our female has some hearing and cognitive issues including nightmares but she showed patience and love and took great care of them. Our third dog is a 1 1/2 year old, 115 lb Great Pyrenees so we cover the spectrum with dog sizes. She also house sat for us and gave us that additional piece of mind.”
“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”
“Grateful for Emily who helped my cat cope while we were traveling. Although it took a while for my shy cat to get brave enough to interact, Emily was patient and kind.”
About: I have always been an animal lover and absolutely love being around animals. Will take care of your pet like it’s my own and they will get spoiled! Good with both small and large dogs of all kinds! Absolutely love animals and would love to hangout with yours!! I recently became a veteran after serving 7 years as active duty and looking for an enjoyable experience with pets! I absolutely love having regular clients so feel free to keep coming back! I’m super flexible so just let me know the specifics of what you need so I can make this experience the best for your pet. Will take lots of pictures and provide daily updates. Always respect your home and furry family members. I have a lazy border collie/pit mix and a bossy miniature pinscher, so I have experience with both large and small dogs. Can bring own treats or other supplies if needed and will always give your dog cuddles (if they like that of course).
“Took amazing care of my dogs. Best Rover experience to date. Kris and Laura go above and beyond. My dogs absolutely loved them. Was able to enjoy my time away knowing such great people were taking care of them. Thank you!!”
“Natasha was wonderful! We met her first and knew right away she would take care of our pup with great care. While we were away, Natasha sent us daily notes and pictures of how Whisky was doing. Playing with her dog, Jasper, was an added bonus for Whisky! We will definitely be having Natasha come stay with Whisky again! Thank you Natasha! Our trip was worry free 😊”
“Ava was absolutely amazing with watching my house and two pups. The dogs are great and the house is in great shape as well. I'd highly recommend Ava to anybody looking for these services.”
“Wyatt was great with my 4 pups! When we did the meet and great Wyatt was an instant hit with them - they havent been around too many people so I was happy to see them accept Wyatt into the pack quickly :-) They seemed very content when I returned home after my trip. Thanks Wyatt!”
About: I'm very good at following directions for a pets specific needs and I've worked with a few dog trainers in my day and have learned how to read and respect a dogs and cats boundaries while also been clear and patient enough to finish whatever task we are doing. I'm a part-time student, an artist and I work minimally at a job so I have an extremely workable schedule. Even if I have a shift I can make time for a pet on my lunch break, if ever necessary. I'm non-smoker/vaper I grew up with two family dogs and we always had cats around, walking dogs daily was drilled into me as necessary, if not more if they do not have a safe yard. Currently I have two cats in a smaller house so I'm accustomed to cleaning the litter box twice a day and plenty of play time to get the zooming out! And of course pets and love for all.
“Once again, Kaitlyn Provided awesome service. Plenty of Great communication and love for the boys. Finally a sitter I know will take excellent care of them so we can relax and enjoy our vacation. What a relief!”
“It was clear how much Christine cherished our pets - despite our dog being a true handful. She bought them new toys and communicated with us often. Providing crisp, clear instructions seemed to be helpful”
“Jacob recently house sat our two pups for a week. He came out to our place a couple of times prior to meet the dogs and familiarize himself with our home. We immediately felt comfortable with Jacob and at every interaction he was friendly and responsive. During the week we were away he provided regular updates, photos and short videos. We were so impressed with his service and will definitely book him in the future. We highly recommend Jacob!”
“Sha took excellent care of our cats based on their specific needs and preferences, showered them with love, kept us informed twice daily and was impeccably kind and reliable in every single way. We were out of the country for a couple of weeks but thanks to Sha our hearts and minds were at ease all the while. We can't recommend Sha strongly enough, and will definitely provide repeat business whenever possible!”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. I have cared for puppies/dogs,kittens/cats, bunnies, horses, goats, hamsters, lizards and chickens. I love animals and enjoy helping others out with theirs! I have even thought of opening an animal daycare here locally! I am currently not working as I am taking care of my husband who is currently recovering from an accident from last fall. I am available most days and times and can schedule appointments accordingly. I have 5 cats and a senior dog in my home. I have access to a fenced park area and have plenty of play area.
“Sarah was great with my new puppy. When I originally booked I had a senior dog as well, and unfortunately I had to put him down the day that Sarah was arriving. She was understanding, and flexible with my time change, and kindly provided a refund since she would only be watching one dog. She communicated very well while we were away and kept me updated with pictures. She was also flexible when we ended up coming home a few hours later than originally scheduled. She stayed in our home with our puppy and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“We are incredibly happy with Cassidy’s care of our pets for two weeks! She house sat for our energetic Lab and senior, blind Chihuahua. Both need lots of attention and get anxious with changes in routine. Cassidy handled them wonderfully with walks/play/cuddles for our Lab and proper care/lap time for our blind “old man”. She clearly cared for them as we do, with no signs of anxiety or stress (chewing, nervous licking, not eating). Cassidy was diligent and professional; on time for visits, communicated each day, and sent pictures regularly that showed the dogs enjoying themselves as they normally do. We returned to content, healthy pups and our home in the same condition as we left it. We will definitely be booking Cassidy again to watch our pets!!”

Indianola pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have a new puppy and an older dog who just had his remaining eye removed. Both pups required special care and Jodi was just the best! She was here on Easter Sunday and gave us the freedom to go visit family and not take the new pup or recovering dog with us. I would recommend Jodi to anyone who wants excellent care for their fur babies.
She stepped up when the first person got sick and bailed i was in Europe and couldn't do anything came home to my house and dog in very good condition camie really took to sheri will be using her again and again she made my trip very pleasant not having to worry about my dog or house
Wyatt was amazing to work with! Great communication throughout his stay and kept both our pups happy and out of trouble. We also had a long flight delay on our way back home and Wyatt graciously offered to check in on the dogs again and stay longer if needed. He really put any worries we had to rest. Would definitely recommend Wyatt and will be using him again!
Janine is a true pro. Our senior dog was loved and cared for. When I was describing what I thought were my dog’s unusual issues and behaviors, it was clear that she had seen them all many times before. She communicated with me while we were away and made me feel that our pup was in great care. I will definitely hire Janine again!
