“Luna has separation anxiety when I leave her with new people/places. Sarah was great with Luna, providing a safe environment for her. Luna seemed happy when I picked her up.”

About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.

“Melanie and family were so friendly that my dogs—a 4- and a 12- year-old Havanese—relaxed immediately. Melanie met us in the yard and the dogs trotted away with her without looking back. The dogs were with her for 6 hours and she sent multiple photos and status updates. We would definitely ask Melanie to watch our dogs again!”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. It was easy to set up - our first time using rover. Communication was prompt - she was so pleasant and we felt very comfortable with our dog staying at her house. Can't say enough - she was great, and we would love to have more bookings with her.”

“Amazing, as always! Our Rose comes home tired, happy, and loved!”

“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.”

“Zero, my Whippet puppy, has severe separation anxiety and refuses to be alone (even in rooms). I am SO thankful to have found Tanya. She has amazing reviews and repeat clients for a reason! From our meet-and-greet, I could already tell that she had a strong passion for animals. Today was the first time leaving Zero with Tanya, and she was AMAZING from pick-up to drop-off. She took so many wonderful photos of Zero and went above and beyond to treat him as if he were her own! Seriously, thank you so much for all that you do. Your time and skills are invaluable to the rest of us.”

“Jess and Scott are always our first stop for watching our pup! We have been taking him to them since we got him as a puppy and could not reccomend them enough. Kind people who want nothing more than to make sure your dog is loved and cared for, while still having a lot of fun while doing it. Great people!”

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.

“This was our first Rover booking for a day of daycare. Our sheepadoodle was pretty anxious when we arrived. Scott did a good job of putting her at ease. His dog Brinley is gentle and did her part in making our dog less nervous too. It wasn’t long after we left that we got a video of her playing with 3 other dogs. That was very reassuring. We chose Scott because we liked that he and Jess were full time dedicated to the care of dogs. We liked that there would be other dogs there because we felt being busy with playmates would be a positive. It’s clear that Scott is serious about providing great care to dogs and it appears he has earned many loyal customers. I don’t think anyone should have any qualms about giving them a try! I am glad we did!”

“My Venus had an incredible day with two other frenchie pups! Miss Alice is so sweet and took excellent care of my baby girl while we visited Des Moines for the first time! Can't recommend her enough!”

About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as long well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

“Pricila was great when we needed a last minute dog sitter while in town! My pup was well taken care of and I loved getting pictures throughout the day!”

“Emma was very nice and took great care of my two dogs. I would recommend her to other others!”

Tyler F.

“Sarah was fabulous. We had another Rover set up, but they had to cancel, so with short notice, Sarah was able to take care of your two little dogs. Her communication from booking and throughout the stay was wonderful and she was flexible with times, which was very appreciated. Our miniature poodles are a little shy with small children, but they did not mind running around the very spacious house with her two little boys. We highly recommend Sarah to take care of your dogs.”

Marcia B.

“Laurie was great! She sent photos with updates during the day. She is very flexible and she was able to accommodate my schedule. Izzy had a good time and was worn out from playing with Laurie's two dogs. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

Morgan B.

“Dallas was very accommodating and had two very chill cats with which to socialize my pup. He was sufficiently exhausted after all their play! And she was great at sending updates and general communication.”

About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!

About: Hi, I’m Kori! I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for pets when I was just 10 years old. From raising puppies to giving extra love and patience to senior dogs, I’ve had the joy of experiencing every stage of a pet’s life. Having pets of my own has taught me the importance of not just meeting their needs, but also making them feel safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company, I love giving each pet the attention they deserve. You can count on me to care for your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes along the way! Pet care easily fits into my weekly schedule because I have plenty of flexibility. I’m available most weekdays and some weekends after 9am. This allows me to provide consistent walks, drop-ins, or overnight care as needed. Since I naturally build time for animals into my day, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have a safe, comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to, so they feel at home even when they’re away from their own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow the care instructions you provide. I make sure feeding, walks, and medication (if needed) are done on schedule, and I spend time giving your pet attention and comfort so they don’t feel alone. I also send updates and photos so you know they’re happy and cared for while you’re away.
