“Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.”
“Javon is always so great with my pups! I am confident they are being cared for and loved while I’m out and there are always wonderful pictures at the end of the day. Highly recommend!”
“Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.”
“Monica was fabulous ! My dogs warmed up to her very quickly. From an owner side, i was very comfortable because Monica left detailed notes and pictures for each drop in visit.”
“Jenevieve was everything we could ask for! She sent pictures, asked great questions and put our mind at ease while we travelled. We will definitely book with her again!”
“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”
About: I have been watching the pets of neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember. Whether it is dropping by for a visit while an owner is at work, or spending the week with dogs while their parents are on vacation, I’m ready! I am a student in flight school currently working towards getting my flight instructor certificate, with a lot of free time to watch your pets! I treat your home like my own! Very cleanly with a focus on detail and caring for pets to the owners request. As a pet owner myself, I understand accidents can happen and am always ready to clean up.
“Natasha has watched my 3 dogs several times now and she's been great each time. Always takes my one (more energetic) dog for a walk and gives cuddles all around. One of my dogs requires medication as well which is very important for him to have properly and I feel confident she gets it done right every time, unlike experiences I've had with some other sitters. She's always the first one I ask if I need a pet sitter, highly recommend.”
“Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!”
“Allison was a fantastic sitter for our cat Millie! She was very attentive and communicative throughout our trip with daily updates. I knew that Millie was in good hands and she sure showed it once we returned home. Will book again!”
“Brad does a great job for us. He is always prompt and sends us pictures during every visit. Our two 75 lb rowdies were very happy and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Brad to care for our dogs when we're out of town.”
“Tanya took great care of our two cats while we were away! She stopped in to give them some love each day and provided us with nice updates and photos. We will absolutely rebook with her in the future!”
“Absolutely wonderful. Never had to worry about what my girls were up to to or how they were doing. Rachael kept me well informed while I was out of town. Definitely, I will schedule again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, both big and small. I am reliable, caring, and nurturing, and would love to help care for your pets! I work full time in Des Moines, and am looking to use my lunch breaks to feed, walk, and offer care for dogs/cats whenever possible! I have both a pit bull and chihuahua right now at my home, and know how to manage big and small dogs when on walks.
About: I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet.
“Keirston was terrific! She had excellent communication, provided me with updates and photos and I could enjoy my vacation without worry for my kitties. I would definitely recommend her again!”
“Stephanie was super easy to coordinate with and very responsible, trustworthy, and friendly! She came to meet our cats ahead of time and was very attentive to the instructions we provided. She showed up when she said she would and provided text updates every time she visited for the duration of our trip. We will definitely be booking her again if she’s available for any future trips we take; very pleased with our experience with her!”
About: I had to put down my best friend of 13.5 years. A German Shorthair named Zeus.I cherished every day with that dog. I wasn’t going to dive into getting another dog, so rover was my best option :) I fully trained him, never needed a kennel, never bit a soul. I will give your pet(s) the same love and affection I gave my Zeuser. On top of that, I love to train dogs and can instill some obedience in them as well(if necessary). Big, small, I love em all :) My business partner and I manage a company together, so I work my own hours. I’m the definition of a flexible sitter, leaving the house once a (week)day for the gym. Other than that, myself or my girlfriend are at the house showing your pet the love they deserve I have a fully fenced in yard, so your pet will get plenty of play time and exercise! It’s just my girl n me here after losing my best friend, so it’s unlikely your pet will ever need to be kenneled unless they’re extremely wild, or destroying my furniture, or I’m watching other dogs as well and they aren’t getting along.
“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”
About: I am a passionate dog lover who fosters and adopts Boxers. I’ve had 10 boxers and one American Bulldog and they all made me a great dog sitter. I stopped doing Rover when COVID happened and I recently decided to get back into it. I adopted a white and deaf Boxer named Barbara and she is always looking for another dog to play with. There is not a human or dog she doesn’t like so it’s crucial your dog is good with other dogs. I live in the East Village and she’s around dogs at daycare and my apartment complex constantly. I work down the street from my apartment so I can run home at lunch. Barb and I would love to welcome you to our home! 🩷 Your dog would be following my dog’s schedule. She’s fed in the morning and after work and I take her outside every 4-5 hours. On weekends she gets longer walks and outdoor play time. Lots of cuddles and walks. My dog is occasionally on medicine for different things so I’m comfortable administering meds as well. My dog is kenneled when I’m not home.

18. Jaden B.
“Jaden is not only an amazing dog caregiver but was the greatest dad to one of the bestest boys to ever live. His boy Zeus was an amazing dog. Not only because that's just the dog he was but because of the bond and love Jaden had formed with his best friend. Jaden knows what it means to give a dog a full and happy life full of play,joy and fulfillment. Not only that but he really showed just how good he was when we took care of all 3 of my boys with no problems whatsoever! They did not want him to leave! I've never had more peace of mind when entrusting my boys for care when I had to be away. Thank you Jaden!!!”

20. Emma W.
“Emma is an amazing dog caregiver. She no longer has a dog of her own, but when she did, she treated him like a mother treats a child. Emma loves all dogs, possibly more than she loves humans sometimes! She loves all sizes and types of dogs, and dogs are naturally drawn to her. She handles dogs (even some of the most difficult dogs) with love, grace, and understanding.”
