House Sitting in Ingersoll Park, Des Moines, IA

“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”

“Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!”

“Lori took very good care of our 2 very different dogs. One has anxiety issues and one is so little and hates being alone. We had to be away for 8 days, and since this was our 1st time using this service we were a bit nervous...but it all turned out fantastic and I feel so much better about leaving my girls. I will be using Lori again and highly recommend her to care for your 4 legged fur babies.”

“Jessica is amazing! She communicates with us regularly while on the job and keeps us at ease that our dog is in excellent hands. And our dog loves her!”

“Brenda was the perfect sitter for our two dogs. She followed our instructions well and spent a lot of time engaging with them. She took great care of the house, and it was probably cleaner when she left than it was when she arrived. We can’t wait to use her again!”

“Allison was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two big dogs over the weekend while we were getting married. We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!”

“Victoria is the utmost professional when it comes to the quality of care for your fur babies. She is attentive and responsive. Sends lots of pics. Most importantly, she relieves any stress you may have leaving your pets for any amount of time. Will gladly use her services again.”

“Yasmin was amazing with my dog Susie! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of. Great communication and so kind! I’ll definitely use her again 😊”

“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!!”

“Grace is a blessing. She took great care of our 2 dogs and home. On time. Professional, clean and caring. The dogs loved their time with Grace.”

“Mari B did a fantastic job taking care of our Jon Jon. She even made progress in teaching Jon Jon how to play fetch. And as a rescue dog Jon Jon has many difficulties that Madi handled beautifully. And she made sure to keep the rest of the house running smoothly as well. Can’t give Madi B. a high enough recommendation. If you want the dog/house sitting done to perfection, have Madi B. do it. I know we will.”

“Andrea is fantastic! She left our house extremely clean, sent lots of updates, & overall we felt so secure in leaving our dog with her for a long weekend :)”

“Nathan did a great job with our two cats over the long weekend despite it being pretty last minute from us! Tried his best to win them over but they're a fickle crew. Would happily ask him again for future cat visits.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job watching Sandy. She exceeded expectation by doing more than we asked of her. Sandy was happy and healthy when we got home. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“Jack is a great candidate for the Rover program. He is kind, patient and always puts the dog’s needs first. He has taken on several foster dogs with his partner and they have successfully helped them become adopted! I would recommend him without hesitation to take care of any dogs in his care.”

“Lauren was amazing with Luna. She worked on Luna’s recent training lessons and I definitely saw a huge improvement in Luna’s listening skills after her week with Lauren babysitting.”

“Torina was excellent at caring for my 2 dogs over the weekend. Our dogs have different activity levels and needs, and she was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures while we were away and left the house clean. I've already booked her again for another stay:)”

“Sierra is fantastic! Aelin and Jet must have been very comfortable with her, as Jet felt the need to sleep with he in bed. We did ask her to stay her overnight and she didn’t have any issues with that and our house is exactly as we left it! Jet is a huge mamas’s boy who gets sad when I’m gone, and he did pout to begin with but did great after awhile! We will definitely be using Sierra again!”

About: I've raised three of my own dogs and many cats. I used to work with barn cats and cattle dogs as well. I also keep and love fish and will take care of them. I currently work part-time at a doggy day care. I graduated high school this year. I spend almost all my time taking care of my own pets, or working with other's dogs. Half of my yard is fenced and has a pond that my dogs play in at times. Dogs will likely spend most of the time inside the house if they are unable to swim for safety reasons but they will be taken for walks and able to play outside under supervision. Dogs will be given lots of options of toys to play with and will be able to play with my dogs as well.
