“Monica was OUTSTANDING! This was our first experience with Rover and our first time leaving our rescue dog to go on vacation. We contacted Monica 6 months in advance and she stopped by a few times to get to know our little guy. He is a typical high anxiety ankle biting Chihuahua and only likes a few people. He was an escape artist and Monica had to keep coming up with new ways to keep him from getting out. It was so nice to receive pics and updates each time she visited the house. We were so relieved when she sent a pic of the 2 of them snuggling on the couch. I highly recommend Monica!”
“First time customer and it went perfect. PERFECT!!! Communication was great every day with pics of all our pets. We highly recommend Ash and we’re certain our cats and dogs do too. :-)”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Harvey! Ali was wonderful to work with! She was on time and sent a picture of our fur baby during drop in.”
“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”
“Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!”
“My animals love Cory. He goes above and beyond, even taking my ten year old Pom Lily home with him during tornado warnings. I never have to worry with Cory taking care of my animals. He’s very responsible and kind.”
“Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.”
“Andrea has done drop in visits on a couple different occasions for, and she’s done a great job with Sable. She was very responsive to messages to schedule the visits and easy to coordinate with.”
“Daniel was amazing! He took great care of our German Shepherd on extremely short notice. Sent pictures and consistent updates! We will use him again and highly recommend Daniel!”
“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”
“Charisse has been a pleasure to work with! She is prompt, friendly, thorough, and has a way of putting your pet at ease immediately. I can tell she really cares. I will definitely utilize for services again!!!”
About: I’m the go-to petsitter in my friend group! I grew up on a farm with dozens of pets and I love getting to know new animals. I am open to caring for any critters and can’t wait to give your animal some one-on-one attention. I have a flexible full time job (M-F, 9-5) where I travel around the DSM area which allows me to stop in and check on pets whenever. I’m free on nights and weekends. I’m diligent when it comes to privacy and safety and believe in treating every animal and home with care. I think communication with owners is huge and I like to check in frequently.
“Tanya has been caring for my Jazzy cat for months now, and I always know she gets the care she needs! I never have to worry when I’m out of town. Tanya’s the best!”
“I have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!”
About: I have grown up with and cared for cats my entire life. I have also owned a large breed size dog and been fur friends with many, many other pups. After a short stint of working in the office, I am back home 7 days a week again! This will ensure lots of time & attention with your fur friend! We’re excited to be back!!! 🐾 I live in an apartment complex, but a fenced in area is directly behind my building if that’s what you prefer for your pet. Its a quieter neighborhood with not a lot of traffic so it’s nice to take walks in too 🙂
