House Sitting in Marshalltown

“Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!”

“Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.”

“Kinzley did a great job taking care of Missy while I was gone. Would definitely use her again. Sent pictures and let me know how things were going.”

“Our two boys love Angie! She’s very attentive, and treats our boys like her own. Love the pics and updates she sends throughout the day! She’s very flexible and we highly recommend her. Will definitely continue booking with Angie!!”

“Paul was a fantastic pet sitter for our family this past week while we were out of town. He gave our dog, cat, and fish more love and attention than they typically get with our busy schedules. Our dog has struggled with sleeping when being boarded and having her normal environment kept her very relaxed and happy. Paul sent photos everyday with updates to let us know their status. A small bonus was Paul kept an eye on the house and grabbed our mail and packages and kept them put of the weather. Paul was reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely be using him in the future!”

“Amy is absolutely amazing - she consistently goes above and beyond; is always punctual, responsible, and communicative. Our dogs and guinea pigs adore her, and it’s clear how much love and care she puts into every stay. It gives me total peace of mind knowing our fur crew is in such great hands; plus she’s incredibly respectful of our home and is a very tidy guest. I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their pets. Thank you for everything you do!”

“Jeanette did a fantastic job taking care of our old girl! She was very communicative, open to last minute adjustments, and kept us apprised on how our pup was doing! Highly recommend and will absolutely book with her again.”

“Hailee was AMAZING!! Ryker took to her right away like he had known her his whole life. He did great while we were gone. We were worried he wouldn't eat well and be sad (he lost his companion a few months ago) but he did so good and ate well. I think it's because Hailee has a way with animals, I think they are drawn to her ❤️. We will definitely use Hailee in the future!”

“Sasha was amazing! She took excellent care of my 3 dogs and my house. My dogs loved her! They didn't seemed stressed at all when I got home after being away 8 nights. A good sign! I will definitely use Sasha again!”

About: I enjoy interacting with and caring for different pets’ personalities. I try to make pet sitting as enjoyable for them as possible if it’s with walks, play time, or a few treats. I can look after pets before I work, on my lunch break (if local), and after work. I also work 4 ten hour shifts a week so I have a whole extra day off I can give your pet more attention on. I try to keep the routine as close as possible when I am pet sitting for someone. If they’re used to having a special order to things or routine walk in the morning, I will do my best to honor that and keep as many things the same while their pet parent is away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was eight years old.. I helped work on my grandfathers farm. My grandfather, and my stepfather both had hunting dogs. My grandfather also raised greyhounds, and I was responsible for caring for them.. I have Pet care and grooming experience . ( We groom our Dogs at home) experience with Training puppies ,and senior Dogs . I have a doodle , and my Stepdaughter has a pitbull at home. I will do my best to take care of your dogs needs. I am available 3-4 days a week, and some weekends. I have plenty of time for walks and Drop in visits. I would love to play with your pups and spend quality time with them. I live in a duplex. We don’t have much of a yard. I live very close to a park. When I’m walking dogs, I like to change up the routine as far as where we are walking to.

“Ellie was phenomenal! We are new to Rover and were worried about leaving our dogs with a new person, but she was very communicative and sent lots of updates which put our minds at ease. The dogs seemed to enjoy her and her energy. We would definitely recommend Ellie and work with her again!”

About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!

“Sasha has been great and a lifesaver. My pup is a lot happier having company when I have to work long days. I appreciate her willingness to follow pretty specific directions for my high needs dog, and she communicated with me throughout the night, whenever she had a question, or just to give updates about how things are going. I am looking forward to the next time my dog gets to see her new friend.”

“Nicole and Matthew are amazing!!! If we could them 10 stars we would. From the willingness to do multiple meet and greets with our dogs and daily photo checkins, you couldn’t ask for anyone better. Thank you both, so much, for watching our fur babies and giving us peace of mind so we could enjoy a much needed family vacation.”

About: I have 4 years of pet care experience, from puppies to seniors. I’m a recent grad with a flexible schedule—reliable, energetic, and ready for last-minute needs. I work a couple evenings during the week, but I’m free most mornings and afternoons. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets consistent, focused care and attention. I respect each owner’s boundaries and follow all routines to ensure pets feel safe and at ease. Whether I’m keeping your home tidy and secure while you’re away or walking your dog with care and intention, I’m fully invested in your pet’s health, happiness, and overall well-being.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets. I would prefer to have your pet in your home! I think that will be best for your pets safety and mine too. I’m willing to do what the owner is wanting for their pets comfortability.

“Natalie was very responsive and evidently very loving with my dog Thomas. She took him on nice walks and send me very cute pictures. I would 100% leave Thomas with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my whole life. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for family and friends. I have stayed at homes with the animals, taken them on walks, and just the normal caring duties for animals. I currently work full-time at a middle school. If close enough to my job, I can take the animal on a potty break if needed. Otherwise I am at work for almost 8 hours on the weekdays. My weekends are free! I will not accept dogs into my own home, but when at the clients home I accommodate to the pets needs whether that involves walking them, tying them up, or keeping them in a fenced in yard
