My first time using rover and Samantha was so great to work with. Easy to communicate with and my pup had the best day with her! He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing in her big back yard. Will absolutely use Samantha again!!

My sometimes anxious blue heeler had never done daycare before, and Savannah and her husband were so great with him! I will definitely reach out to them again if he needs daycare in the future.

She took such good care of our baby, he made new friends and felt safe the whole day. She sent me updates to make sure we felt comfortable. I am so grateful to have someone like her take care of someone so special to us. Thank you so much!!

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”.

Ashley & Oziel we’re so accommodating when I explained that my pup had recently been sick & might still have some issues with vomiting or diarrhea. They sent me a pic in the afternoon & we’re very open to our picking him up whatever time we needed. Would highly recommend this nice, dog loving couple!

I was in DSM for a short trip and needed a last minute sitter for my dog Louie and was so lucky to find Kevin had availability to take him for a whole day. I didn’t have time to do a meet and greet, I just trusted the reviews he already had and they are all on point. From start to finish Kevin was responsive, respectful and responsible with me and my dog. I would trust him over and over if I lived in DSM. Highly recommended!

Jaden went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my boy Duke's special needs. I wish I never had to be without my bud, but when I do I will leave him with someone like Jaden!

About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!

About: I’m always the go to dog-sitter for my family and friends every now and then! I work entirely remote and am always home during the work days. We’ve also got a great fenced in yard to play in! I work fully remote from my home office, so my schedule is very flexible to play with your pets and be around them all day. I have no pets of my own, so my house is very quiet and calm. I have a fenced in, modest yard for your pup to play in!

About: Hey there! I’m Rachel and I’ve had a family dog for as long as I can remember. But now I have a family of my own- my partner and I have 4 kids and a mini zoo with 1 bunny, 2 ball pythons, 1 bearded dragon, 2 dogs, 4 cats, 6 mourning geckos and 6 aquariums with fish, snails, dwarf crayfish and shrimp. So, I have a lot of experience with a wide range of animals. Since I’ve started pet sitting on Rover I’ve also gained experience with raw feeding cats and dogs, chicken wrangling, mini home repairs, tree moving, raspberry picking and goose whispering. I used to volunteer every day at the local animal shelter while I was in highschool where I got tons of experience with all types of dogs and frequently helped out the neighbors with their escape artist husky! I previously worked as an assistant dog trainer. I’ve gotten tons of experience with how to better read animal’s body language, create and maintained presence control and facilitate healthy play. While most of my experience is with dogs, I am a true animal lover. One of the biggest perks of having me as your sitter is that our whole family helps take part. My 15 year old, Bella, is usually heavily involved in the care of the animals we sit. My other 3 younger kids also absolute love to take care of and play with all the animals. If your pets like to hang out and play with kids, get attention all day long… your pets are in for a treat with us! (For boarding) We truly strive to give dogs a home-away-from-home experience where they just jump right into our routine. Most of the time they end up sleeping in bed with one of our kids, playing with us outside, getting loves on the couch- all the stuff a family dog can expect. We stand proudly in our family beliefs of qualify pet care and don’t want to be a boarding spot where they put your animal in a kennel, let them out twice a day and charge you extra for playtime or potty breaks. (For pet sitting at home): We do come and go more often when we are sitting pets at their own home but we still make it a family affair. We make sure to drop-in frequently to check on them, feed them, let them out and play with them! Bella loves to hang out with our pet clients and play with them. Sometimes I bring a different kiddo to stay the night with me each night so that they all get a chance to give individual attention to the animals we are watching. We also watch over the house and property. At one pet sit, there was a storm that ran through and a massive branch broke into the pet parent’s driveway, front yard, sidewalk and street! After we notified the owners, Bella and I got it moved out of the way of the street and sidewalk so the pet parents didn’t have to worry about it until they got home. We understand that pet sitting is more than just watching the pets at home and we like to provide a holistic approach. My wife, Leigh also cleans and manages houses when she isn’t at home with our kids. She was the manager and trainer at a locally owned high-end home management company for many years. If you want your house cleaned or you have an organizational project you want completed while you’re gone, let me know! Leigh would be happy to chat with you, figure out what you’re wanting accomplished and get it done while you’re gone. She’s got a plethora of clients who continue to be impressed with her work and ask her to come back as proof of a job well done- so it’s not just my (possibly biased) opinion. 😉 I work as a school bus driver primarily so it leaves my summer & most major holidays pretty open! When I am at work my wife is usually home with some or all of the kids, so even when I’m busy- we have the ability to care for pets. I am pretty flexible but my main priority is making sure I am respectful of your space as much as I would want someone to be respectful of mine. Taking photos and communicating heavily with pet parents is top priority for me. If you wish to have less communication, just let me know so I don’t send too many cute pictures of your pets! I know what a big deal it is to leave my pets in the care of someone else and as a result, I take the responsibility very seriously myself.

About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me. I worked in nursing for several years before leaving to care for my father full time.between that and being a mom giving love and care comes easy. I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and love a bit of play time. I am a big believer in fresh air and exercise. Let's get those steps in for your 4 legged family member. I don't work a regular job, I care for my elderly father and do some side work here and there. So I am available for walking or drop in visits at a moments notice. I have a fenced in yard and food and treats at the ready. Many leashes and brushes and more. I have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with each other and yours too. I can also keep my dogs away if yours isn't socialized to others.

About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

About: I grew up on a farm, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! I've had many dogs over the years, from young to old and big to small. I am experienced with giving medication, baths, nail trims and love! I am very adaptable to your pets needs. For the summer, I work weekdays two hours a day with some volunteer work on the side. I have occasional shifts on my campus that may be longer but will know in advance if I am available that day or not to make sure the pet sitting does not overlap. Starting August 25th, I have classes that last 3-4 hours during the day Monday-Thursday. If your pet can wait that long for me to come back, I am available to book! I am still fully free Friday-Sunday. I am able to host pets in my apartment! I live in an upstairs apartment and spend most of my time there. I have a 360°camera installed to watch your pet if I have to spend any time away. My apartment complex has a spacious lawn that is entirely fenced in. In my clients home, I am extra careful to follow any house rules. In case of overnight caretaking, I am comfortable with any sleeping arrangements (couch etc.). My top priorities are your pup and your preferences!

Nicole has been a wonderful sitter for my dog, Rosco. My father usually watches him, so I’m very picky about who I trust—but Nicole did an amazing job! She was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Rosco was happy, well-cared for, and even a little spoiled! I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch him again.

She was awesome with my Lab! He stayed at her apartment for a weekend and I’ve felt so safe! She sent multiple pictures daily, asked questions and adapted to my pups preferences in her house as well. Couldn’t recommend more!

Morgan is the ultimate dog lover and has never met one she doesn’t like. If she comes across a dog while we are out, she always has to stop and ask if she can give the pup some love. I have seen first hand how caring she is with animals and always gives them all her attention. Morgan is extremely prompt, responsible, and organized. She would be the ultimate Rover employee!

Rylee was a responsible and responsive sitter. She took great care of my elderly pup, feeding her, administering medication, sending me pics in a regular basis and making sure she stayed happy and safe. My pup was walked, loved on, given treats and even taken out for a pup cup. When I picked her up on the second day of care, my pup was happy to see me but disappointed to leave her pal Rylee. I will absolutely reach out again for care in the future and share Rylee’s profile with my family in Des Moines!

She took such good care of our baby, he made new friends and felt safe the whole day. She sent me updates to make sure we felt comfortable. I am so grateful to have someone like her take care of someone so special to us. Thank you so much!!

We needed a few hours of dog-sitting while we toured a nearby university, and Jaden was great! Highly recommend, and we would definitely use him again. Thank you!

I was in DSM for a short trip and needed a last minute sitter for my dog Louie and was so lucky to find Kevin had availability to take him for a whole day. I didn’t have time to do a meet and greet, I just trusted the reviews he already had and they are all on point. From start to finish Kevin was responsive, respectful and responsible with me and my dog. I would trust him over and over if I lived in DSM. Highly recommended!

Our 14 year old dog developed some issues that meant he couldn’t be alone while I was at work. He goes to Melanie’s a few days a week now. He loves it. We will continue to work with Melanie when we need pet care.

Mojo and Bailey absolutely LOVE Andrew, and I feel like I hit the lottery in finding him. He's super positive, wonderful with the dogs, and happy to help in any way, whether it's stopping by my house for visits when we're gone or picking the dogs up and taking them home to his for daycare when we're entertaining. Either way, my pups are thrilled to be with him, and I'm relieved to know that they're happy and well cared for.
