House Sitting in Magnolia Park, Des Moines, IA

“Miranda came to meet myself and my dog about a week before she was scheduled to stay at my house. She was punctual and asked good questions. And right before my trip, it got extended 3 extra nights and she was available & willing to extend the stay. She frequently updated me and sent cute pics/videos....never had to worry if he was in good hands. I have already booked her for my next trip!”

“Loved how understanding Abby was while staying with Kitkat..... we had JUST moved into our townhouse a few days before, so it was "less than put together". But Abby was a trooper, all for Kit's benefit. Pictures and updates daily were very helpful in letting me know Kit was doing well. Great job done, and I will definitely book again! Abby, next time the WIFI and cable will be there for you! :)”

“Ky is awesome!! Absolutely the nicest and you can tell how much she cares about animals. Super communicative and flexible, and takes plenty of adorable photos! 11/10 would book her again.”

“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”

“Chelsea is fantastic. She was so good to our fir babies, I don’t even think they missed us???‍⬛. She was a good communicator, sent pictures and took great care of our house! Thanks, Chelsea ?”

“Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!”

“Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!”

“Kendra was fabulous. Visited 2 weeks prior to meet Saul and look at the home/location. Quick to respond to texts and sent photos often. Home was just as I left it and came home to a happy Saul. Thank you!”

“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”

“Sidney did such a great job with Willy! We were a bit nervous since we had never left him with a sitter before but she was phenomenal! She was able to make sure my pup was comfortable! She sent us detailed updates and photos throughout her stay as well! She was even able to accomodate a last minute adjustment to our schedule due to a flight delay! We would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting!”

“Andrea is fantastic! She left our house extremely clean, sent lots of updates, & overall we felt so secure in leaving our dog with her for a long weekend :)”

“We hired Jessica for the first time to pet/house sit our 11 year old golden retriever. She was excellent! She came over prior to meet us and our dog. She communicates well, giving us updates 2-3 times/day; she sent lots of adorable pictures as well! She washed her sheets/towels (without being instructed to) and left the house neat and tidy. Our dog seemed happy when we returned. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her in the future.”

“She took great care of our pets! Sent us videos and pictures. One of our dogs had an irritated ear and she helped sooth it. Our dogs were well taken care of.”

“We're over the moon with Tarah's stellar care for our two bulldogs while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, from giving them their daily Benadryl to dealing with their sassy attitudes with patience and grace. Coming back to a house that was better than we left it and two happy pups was the best feeling ever. Tarah's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, making her our top choice for pet sitting. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring, Tarah's your person. Huge thanks to Tarah for making our time away stress-free and our dogs' tails wag like crazy!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and even style their pets! Not only did I take care of others but I have my very own fur baby that I’ve been taking care of since I was a kid. I’m currently a part-time college student, a dog groomer, content creator and an aspiring entrepreneur to open my own business one day. I love to stay busy and active so your pup will get plenty of energy with me! I love to work out routinely and it’s so much more fun with dogs at my side! I am available all week and weekends just shoot me a text to let me know ahead of time, what’s your schedule, etc. I have a fenced yard and I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby accompanied! I can crate my dog or yours if needed. I love all dogs as they are my own. It’s in my religion that animals are most sacred, so you can trust your pet is in good hands! I’m not greedy, not in this for the money, I’m willing to negotiate prices, whatever’s easier for you and to make your life more peaceful. Seriously! I do not mind! :)

“Sandy was amazing! She was on time, was a great communicator sending updates and photos and took great care of our two small dogs. The dogs and house were well cared for.”

“Nichelle is an energetic person who cherishes animals. She is a great mom to her dog, Freckles. She has a special bond with dogs--they are drawn to her and seem to love her instantly. She is a very warm and fun person who instantly shares her heart with animals, whether it be her own dog or other dogs we may encounter while on a walk. It is honestly inspiring to watch the joyful way Nichelle interacts with animals. She delights in their individual personalities and enjoys doting on them. I was especially impressed at the careful attention she pays to her own dog's diet and care. She is also very meticulous--always making sure her dog is well groomed and of course, cleaned up after on walks. Nichelle's huge heart for animals makes her an ideal candidate to work with anyone's pet.”

“Javon was a phenomenal sitter and I would highly recommend for anyone looking to have someone care for their pet. She was communicative and very thorough, plus my pup really loved his time with Javon. 5 stars!”

“Jessica was extremely punctual and did a fantastic job house-sitting and watching the dogs while I was out of the country. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a very reliable, honest person. I treat any animal as I would my own. My personal pet is a rescue who needs lots of love and attention. She has flourished in her new home! I am a chiropractor in Ankeny. I am available outside of my work hours after 1PM MWF, AM only T/Th, and any time on weekends. I am walking distance from a large park and trail system that I visit frequently. I often take my pup on runs through the park, it’s her favorite spot! I also have reliable, pet friendly transportation. Through my full time job as a Chiropractor I have experience caring for people in pain and providing quality service. I believe this translates to how I care for furry friends as well! Additionally, I prefer to keep pets in their own home environments as much as possible, I find they are usually most comfortable in familiar settings. However, I am up for boarding in my own home on a case by case basis.
