About: I have been watching the pets of neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember. Whether it is dropping by for a visit while an owner is at work, or spending the week with dogs while their parents are on vacation, I’m ready! I am a student in flight school currently working towards getting my flight instructor certificate, with a lot of free time to watch your pets! I treat your home like my own! Very cleanly with a focus on detail and caring for pets to the owners request. As a pet owner myself, I understand accidents can happen and am always ready to clean up.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a freshmen in high school. Neighbors, coworkers, friends, family members, you name it! I love animals and spending time with them truly brings me so much joy I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your babies as needed. My weekly routine is pretty set in stone as of now. I have a fully fenced in yard and two very friendly and loving fur babies to keep your baby company. I also have a crate if needed for crate training.
“Natalie was great! Everything I had hoped for. Great with the dogs and someone I could trust !”
About: Hi, I'm Jess — a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for the quirky, anxious, and cuddle-prone pets out there. Since moving to Des Moines in 2021 with my partner and our two rescue cats, Zelda and Juno, I’ve had the joy of fostering animals through Furry Friends Refuge and eventually adopting my “foster fail,” Theo — a resilient orange tabby who’s taught me more about patience, administering medication, and cooperative care than I ever imagined! What I do for you: I offer drop-ins, walks, and house sitting for dogs, cats, and most small animals (yes, even fish and reptiles). Whether your dog needs a midday adventure, your cat wants someone to chat with, or your lizard just needs the lights turned on at the right time — I’ve got it covered. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, house sitting, or dog walking, my focus is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take your routine seriously, whether that means no dogs on the couch — or mandatory couch cuddles. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll stick to it. Why you'll like me: With years of experience across species and a deep respect for pet parent routines, my top priority is to keep your pets happy, safe, and stress-free. I treat them like family — and yes, I will send you photos that make your pet look like they’re modeling for a magazine. Let me know your rules, routines, and what makes your companion special — I’d love to meet them! ********** Since I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care, I’ve lowered my rates to help build reviews — let me know if you have any questions! I have a very open schedule and I thrive on chaos. I am also constantly updating my calender so you can trust my shown availability. Safety: I will treat your pet with the dignity, care, and enthusiasm that they deserve. I strive to provide a safe environment and a uniquely tailored experience. If you are a first time client, I will require you to answer a quick questionnaire to help me better understand the needs of you and your pet/s.
“Molly showed up ontime. She followed all the instructions that I gave her. She send me pictures to make sure I don't miss my cats. She was trustworthy, and I will definitely choose her as my sitter in future.”
“Katie was awesome with my puppy! This was my first time using Roover and Katie put my mind at ease. She was very thorough with asking questions and took notes to prepare for her visits with Ellie. Katie provided great details and cute pics on each of her visits! Ellie loved her company and had a great time. I will definitely book Katie again - thanks for everything!”
About: My pet care experience mostly comes from my own pets starting from when I was young. I have had multiple dogs, turtles, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish. In high school I worked for a vet in their boarding area and have cared for both cats and dogs there. I have bathed, medicated, fed, walked, and provided overall pet care to these animals. I currently have a full time job during the week so I am unavailable until 6:30 PM during the week. I do not work weekends so I have more flexibility. I currently have one pet named Charlie. He is a one year old Bichon. We live in a home with a fenced in yard and love to play.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time but my day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends are definitely doable as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

Jordan Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christina attended to all our cat's needs. She was reliable and went above and beyond when unexpected things happened. Highly recommend her.
Victoria is great. When we our pup passed away recently and unexpectedly, she graciously changed our booking to just drop in visits for our remaining kitty. We really appreciated her willingness to do this, since she normally doesn’t do drop in visits. Victoria was very good with our Chance (who is guarded around strangers and hides a lot). She contacted us each time she was here and let us know what was happening. Giving us peace of mind while we were gone.
Ellie was very communicative about how each visit went and showed pictures of how my cat was doing (which was generally being dramatic about my absence haha). She followed instructions very well and made sure my kitty was well taken care of (even if she would disagree about her presence lol) Overall Ellie is a fantastic sitter and I would book her again if I needed her :)
Cory was great! We liked the communication and follow through. We knew how the dogs were doing the entire time. We will be using Cory again!!
Katie is phenomenal! She eased all my worries about leaving my dog for a few days. She came multiple times throughout the days and was always there on time at the times we agreed upon. She kept me updated with photos and my dog was given love and attention. All the instructions were met to a tee and I couldn’t have asked for anything to be done differently. She’s the best and will take great care of your pets :) thanks Katie!!
Grace was awesome yet again! She took great care of our fur babies, and they remembered and loved her from last time. She is wonderful!
Willow loved her visit from Quentin! I received multiple photos and updates during the visit and everything went great. My pup is currently injured and Quentin followed her care instructions and she seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. I will definitely book again!
