Jessica does an incredible job with my 2 boys, but she really helped out in a family emergency situation watching the dogs this week. I'm amazed by her kindness and generosity, and super grateful for her help!

Brad has been absolutely fantastic! He is flexible, reliable, responsible, caring- the list goes on! He treats each dog individually and uses commands each owner uses with their dogs to help with training. Jake and I lucked out finding Brad here in Des Moines!

About: I have owned pets all my life - I love both cats and dogs! Throughout high school, I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 5 years where I provided daily exercise, feeding, medications, and spa services for up to 30 dogs at a time. I’ve been accepted to graduate school in the fall, so I’m currently working part-time through Rover while I prepare to start classes. Given that my schedule is so open, I can be very flexible for last-minute bookings! I have a reactive dog of my own, so unfortunately I am not able to host pets in my home. However, when visiting a client’s space, I follow the pet’s lead to ensure they feel comfortable.

I had to cancel last minute and she was so understanding. I hated to do it but our pup is getting older and I decided to spend the day with her instead of taking a trip by myself. Chelsie loves older pups so she completely understood. I would definitely recommend her as she met my baby girl Coraline and Coraline loved her.

About: I have been around and cared for animals for most of my life! Ranging from mostly cats of all ages to older dogs. Previously I’ve done home visits for check-ins and walks, to house-sitting for those on vacation. I am currently a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule in between classes during the day and after 5 p.m. I can accommodate overnight care and I am available on the weekends! I am a full-time student, so during the week, I am unavailable... Mon. - 12 pm - 4 pm Tues. & Thurs. - 6 am - 6 pm Wed. & Fri.- 6 am - 11 am, 2 pm - 4 pm On weekends I am majorly available! Within your home, I would be more than happy to perform whatever duties are needed to keep your animals safe and happy. From kettling them if needed, to leashed walks. Just let me know what works best for you. I’m used to watching large dogs in un-fenced yards and having to crate one of them when I leave. Also used to either just take them out to go or take them on long 20-30 minute walks so they could get their exercise.

Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.

Jacob is such a caring, loving person when it comes to cats and dogs. He has taken care of family friends cats and dogs over the years. In the past he has taken care of friends cats and dogs and would make sure he was there on time every day. He would play with them and make sure they were let out to go to the bathroom, and make sure they would eat. He would also take dogs on walks/ runs so they would get their exercise in for the day. I highly recommend Jacob!

Noah has watched my two cats on and off for the last three years and he truly is the best. Not only completely trustworthy and kind, but he has such a gentle demeanor that makes me even more comfortable leaving him with my babies. I sometimes even get pictures and continuous updates to make sure that they’re always doing okay when I’m away. 10/10 would recommend Noah for any pet sitting needs.

About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.

Morgan is the ultimate dog lover and has never met one she doesn’t like. If she comes across a dog while we are out, she always has to stop and ask if she can give the pup some love. I have seen first hand how caring she is with animals and always gives them all her attention. Morgan is extremely prompt, responsible, and organized. She would be the ultimate Rover employee!
