About: I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️ As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours! My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.

About: Hi there! I’m a full-time professional based in Des Moines with a big heart for animals—especially dogs. I share my life with a lovable poodle who’s full of energy and joy. We spend a lot of time going on walks and playing fetch, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs active, happy, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just good company, I’ll make sure your dog is well cared for and treated like family. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to give pets the attention they deserve. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend! I currently work full time in Des Moines at a retirement home. I am usually pretty flexible with my schedule and can fit anything in. I have one dog who enjoys going on walks as well as runs with me every day. He loves playing fetch and loves chasing after birds.

“Thank you so much!!”

About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!

“Lexi did great with Dove and gave us updates as she checked on our dog for a couple walks while we were out of town. It was an incredibly hot day and she took care of her to make sure she got outside but didn’t overheat.”

“Lisa walked our 2 dogs several times when we were on a long vacation. We had great communication and our dogs were very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her services.”

About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.

“Molly has been providing us with walks and doggie day care for a number of weeks. She is always reliable, professional, and puntual! We're very glad to have her help giving our dog Ezio the exercise, care, and company he deserves while my spouse and I both work full-time at an office. She clearly knows what she's doing when taking care of pets.”

About: Hi, I’m Baylee! I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my whole life. I fostered animals for over 4 years, including pets with special needs and medication routines, so I’m no stranger to giving extra love and care when it’s needed most. I currently share my home (and bed) with a dog and cat. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like one of my own with lots of snuggles, attention, and belly rubs (if they’re into that). Let me know how I can help, your pets are in good hands with me! After working in the corporate world for several years, I’m taking a break and focusing on things I genuinely enjoy. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine right now, and it’s something I find both fulfilling and fun. I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s daily walks or drop-in visits. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of nearby trails for walks and outdoor time. My dog is very friendly and loves having other dogs around, so visiting pups will have a built-in playmate (if they’re into it!). I keep things calm, clean, and comfortable, and I always follow any routines or rules you share to help your pet feel right at home. Whether it’s in my space or yours, I focus on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I provide focused loving, care. Learning your dogs preferences in order to provide a good experience for them while you are away. Making them & you comfortable with the situation is important to me. I work mainly from home, and have a flexible schedule. I can do visits anytime of day within a 2 hour timeframe you give me. I prefer to stick as closely to your pets routine as possible. I follow all guidelines given about safety, and can send as much communication with pictures as requested.

“Alexis is wonderful! She got right back to me once I put a request in and has been so easy and flexible to work with! River and her had a great walk and I love the pictures she sent. I can tell she truly loves animals and is so good with them. Will be using her again soon!”

I work in education and have a lot of flexibility during the summer months. Weekends spent at home give me a lot of time to care for your dogs. There are two dogs in our home and the world revolves around them. They get frequent walks, play time, and trips to the dog park.

“Molly was amazing! First time leaving my dog alone for work and she was able to help me get my dog back to comfort and settled! Went above and beyond what I was hoping for!”

About: I have always loved animals, I am looking to meet new furry friends! I am open to all sizes of dogs and even cats! Looking to help their owners when I can! I currently am a student in highschool, I am open to watch or take care of your animals anytime after 2 pm on weekdays and open to any time on the weekends! I myself have a siberian husky who I love so much. We love to go on walks, play, and just hangout together! I would love to keep your pets company!

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: I have been around dogs since I was 12 years old. My love for them has grown as I recently got a dog of my own. I will walk, cuddle, and play with your dog and teach them fun tricks! I am available all days during the week besides Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! I will make sure your dogs needs at attended to. I love to take them on walks almost every night and give them some play and run time! I make sure food and water is full when needed. I make sure that toys are out to be played with. I want my dogs to feel loved and will make sure that your dog feels that as well!

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, we have always had 2 or more in our house. My neighbors, friends, and family have used me to watch their dogs, including feeding, letting outside, walking, and bathing. I am a full time student and am home during summer. I work remotely with very minimal and flexible hours. This allows me to be available for your dogs when they need me! I give your pets lots of attention and care for them as if there were one of mine. I go above and beyond what is asked for and make sure your furry friend is as happy as can be!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 12 years old. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs. My friends and family have asked me to watch their pets many times as well. I am home during the week so I am almost always available! I work on weekends so I am at home during the week. My child goes to daycare so it is just me and our 3 cats and 1 dog! Water is always available to all the animals. All small choking hazards are picked up. We use baby gates to separate the animals from potentially harmful areas such as the kitchen and bathrooms. We have an unfenced backyard but my Australian Shepard is trained and does not run.
