“Jenevieve was so wonderful to work with! She wanted all the info to make sure was fully prepared to take care of our Phil and super patient with all my questions! I literally could not have asked for a better first Rover experience! Jenevieve did have other bookings that were her regulars, but to make things more comfortable for our pooch, she had us come a little early so he could see that all was good, and he could get familiar before more friends came to play. I got lots of pictures of Phil having lots of fun and getting lots of snuggles. He truly made himself at home and that made us so happy! I appreciate how accommodating and thoughtful Jenevieve was throughout the whole processes and that made our visit to DSM really stress-free because I didn't have to worry about our little buddy at all! Thank you, Jenevieve!!! If we ever come back to Des Moines, you will be the first person we look up!”
“Jessica was great with our pups. She made sure Chopper got his medicine every day and they had so much fun playing with the other dogs that were there. Jessica was also super friendly and sent pictures and videos regularly”
“Lisa was a wonderful host to our two senior dogs. This was our first time using Rover and the dogs had a rough start adjusting (had multiple accidents in the home). Lisa was patient and was solution focused. She tried different methods to decrease their anxiety and provided us frequent updates on how they are doing. They definitely adapted with her help! One of our dogs is diabetic and Lisa helped us administer his medication injection as well.”
“Cliff loved our dog well! We received pictures and videos while gone to see that she was in doggie Heaven while away! We have already rebooked. Thanks!”
“We had a great experience leaving our 11 month old mastiff with Sam and her family. It was our first time ever having to leave a pet with a non relative and they eased our nerves and lovingly welcomed our dog into their home. We are so appreciative of their love for our big puppy and if the situation arises, we would definitely use Sam’s services again.”
“Cassandra was great with our often anxious dog. She sent plenty of photos during the stay so we felt comfortable. Cassandra has a lovely backyard that is perfect for pets to explore.”
“I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.”
“They were so kind and loving with our small dog. Great communication and sent pics regularly. Would take our dog there again and highly recommend.”
“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”
“Elizabeth was very responsive and asked questions to ensure it was a good fit ahead of time. During our dog’s stay she provided several daily updates with pictures and videos. She had him out playing with new dog friends in the fenced yard, and he came home a tired boy. Highly recommend! We will definitely book her again.”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.
“Cory did great with our pups! We were gone for 10 days so we were a little worried but the dogs did great with Cory. They got a lot of walks in and when we picked them up they were as happy as can be! Would definitely rebook with Cory.”
“Lucia was great! I was super nervous boarding our new rescue for the first time. I wasn’t sure how he would do, and it was the first time we’ve boarded a dog. Lucia took great care of Hank, and Hank seemed to do really well there too! She took him to the dog park and sent lots of photos and videos to help ease this nervous mama’s mind! Hank came back and seems worn out, which is a great thing! We’ll definitely be using Lucia again!”
“This was an amazing choice for us and we will absolutely reach out again if we need a dog sitter. The dogs clearly had a great time and I'm so glad Hazel was around so they had an extra pal to hangout with. Communicating was easy and we felt well updated (and we loved the photos of the doggos)”
“Ashly took great care of my Golden overnite. My baby came back happy, and even ate her food, which often doesn't happen when she is away from me. Thanks Ashly!”
“Alicia and her family took great care of our dog while we were away! She was a great communicator and sent lots of photos and videos, which we appreciated. We would definitely use her again!”
“Our kitty sisters (Pearl & Luna) had a great time staying with Katie and her pups! She made sure they were comfortable, well fed and had fun exploring. We loved the photos and daily updates. We will hire Katie again for sure!”
“We hit the jackpot with Ashley and her family- both human and furry! We left our quirky little guy, Dewey, with her for over a week. He can be anxious around new people and in new places. He was so comfortable with Ashley and loved her yard. They loved on him and let him be his quirky self. We will definitely be repeat clients of Ashley’s any time we need a place for Dewey to stay.”
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!

Lovington dog parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Casandra ! This is the first time I have ever left Daisy ( she is 11). When we met for the first time my son and I both felt at ease and that Day would be in good hands. We were right. We received pictures every day !! ( really appreciated that) If we take another vacation. I won’t hesitate to use Casandra again.
Lydia was fantastic with communication. It was our first time using a rover, and she was super sweet and caring. Even though Duke, our new pup, was having some trouble adjusting, Lydia kept us in the loop and kept us informed.
Lexi did an outstanding job with my dog and cat! They immediately warmed up to her and had the best stay. Lexi kept me updated with pictures and videos and gave me great peace of mind while out of town. She did a phenomenal job and my fur babies were so calm and content when they came back home. I could tell they had been treated like VIP! Will definitely reach out to Lexi again. She is so caring and awesome. So lucky we found her! 🙏
Ali is amazing! She gave our pup amazing care, played with her every day, and provided all the belly rubs in our absence. We will definitely rebook with Ali again!
Alicia and her family took great care of our dog while we were away! She was a great communicator and sent lots of photos and videos, which we appreciated. We would definitely use her again!
Joseph was very accomodating as this was a last minute reservation. My babies seemed to be at ease there, enjoyed the backyard, etc. Joseph sent pics to us as well so we could see how well they were acclimating to his home. Would highly recommend and will definitely reach out to Joseph the next time we are needing care for the pups when we are out of town.
Elizabeth did a wonderful job updating us each day with photos or videos of our dogs and relayed information to us - both good and bad. Thank you for watching our pups - we will very likely use your services again in the future 😊
I have a weirdo dog. He's never been boarded. Think Ashley & family took care of him & adjusted to his weirdness!
Loved having Karina watch Sunny while we were out of town. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos. I knew our pup was in great care and didn’t worry about her at all. Will definitely rebook! Thank you Karina! 🐾
Julia was so great with Monte. She sent a bunch of fun photos and communicated throughout his entire stay. I appreciated how thoughtful she was about the hot summer days and making sure Monte was safe and cool. We feel lucky to have found her as a sitter for Monte and will definitely be in touch for future stays.
Great communication, felt safe and secure leaving my dog with Hannah! Her dog, Arya, was a great companion for Smokey while we were away
Elizabeth was a last minute booking for us after all our usual pet friends weren’t available. We were grateful to find her but even more grateful for how wonderful she was with Brody! We loved her updates and Brody seemed to settle in with her and have a nice time.
Our dog loves going to Justin’s for boarding. He gets excited right when we pull down the street. He takes great care of our dog and always shares updates with us. He’s always the first dog sitter we ask when we are planning a trip out of town.
Mary is awesome and Willow had a great time playing with her dogs and loved the fenced yard. Mary is accommodating and Willow was very comfortable at her home. Already rebooked for a second stay!
I could tell Coco was happy and well cared for during her stay. Jess was very responsive to messages
Ashley was very professional and communicative. Everything went smoothly. It was over the holidays and we even got some cute pictures of the dogs with a stocking.
We were a little nervous to leave our Stella with someone new, especially someone with dogs. We've always brought her with us or had family watch her. After an initial meet and greet, and a play date at her house, we felt very comfortable leaving Stella with Anna. Initial impressions were great! Anna very clearly has a strong, deep relationship with her dogs, Ren and Shelby. They were both extremely well trained and behaved, which was a direct reflection of how much she cares about them. This structure was exactly what Stella needed in a sitter. She did so well staying two days and an overnight with Anna. Anna kept us informed on how she was doing with pictures, videos, and updates. She got lots of love, play, and cuddles. We wouldn't hesitate to have Anna watch Stella for us again! Thanks Anna!
Our first time to use Rover. Luca’s host, care giver was great! We received daily reports and pictures. Luca upon coming home is enjoyable tired from the activities and walks he was taken on. Would recommend Traci to anyone. Thanks Traci we will keep your Rover info for the future! Again thank you very much.
