“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”


“Andrea was a great communicator and I appreciated how responsive she was. Monte seemed really happy when I picked him up and I am sure we will be in touch with Andrea soon for future daycare/boarding opportunities.”


“Heather has been taking care of my pup, Junie for a few weeks. Between her and her two kids, they make sure my girl is well cared for. I never worry about Junie when she is with Heather. Heather even takes her for walks of an evening and drops her off. Heather truly goes above and beyond for my girl! Highly recommend her.”


“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!!”



“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”


“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!”

She sent me multiple updates with pictures throughout the day which eased my nerves and worries. I will be using her again!!!”

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!

About: I have 17 dogs of my own back home. They range from puppies, to senior dogs, of every size and breed! I also worked at NGO’s taking care of shelter dogs. I live in an apartment with good extra space, lots of areas to run and play and also have a car to stay over and dog sit at your residence too! I am currently a college student, but now during the summer, I am available everyday including weekends! I am 21 years old, love dogs and have been taking care of them my whole life! I can take dogs at my home, but at your house I’ll make sure to respect the house rules and keep an eye on the dogs, play with them and take them out for their needs any time needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

About: Growing up surrounded by the love and joy of dogs, I’ve been a devoted pet enthusiast since my early years. With a lifetime of firsthand experience in providing unwavering care and companionship to our four-legged friends, I am available 24/7 to extend that same level of love and attention to your beloved pets. My commitment is to create a safe, happy and nurturing environment and experience for them, ensuring they receive the best care possible. With a completely open schedule, I am fully committed to providing constant attention and creating a supportive environment for your furry friend. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I prioritize their care as a central part of my day, ensuring ample time for walks, play, and companionship. In both my home and yours, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment for your pets. Whether it’s providing cozy spaces, regular walks, playtime, or adhering to specific dietary needs, I tailor my care to match the unique preferences and routines of each furry friend. I understand every pet is different, and my goal is to ensure they feel loved, comfortable, and right at home, no matter where they are.

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.

“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!”

Nicole W.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Nicole took such wonderful care of Tinkerbell while we were away. They provided regular updates, photos, and made sure she got plenty of love and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in caring and capable hands. Nicole was also very professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We came home to a happy, relaxed [pet], and we’ll absolutely be booking again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
