House Sitting in Oak Park, Des Moines, IA

“Abby was very good with my anxious dog. She got her to warm up quickly and was with her while a lot of fireworks were going off and kept her happy. I would happily hire her again!”

“Jessica is amazing! She communicates with us regularly while on the job and keeps us at ease that our dog is in excellent hands. And our dog loves her!”

“Alexis watched our golden retriever Ruby for several days while in our home while we went on vacation. We got pictures every day and we returned to a happy well cared for dog and a clean home. I plan on hiring her again if available the next time we travel.”

“Katlin went above and beyond for my newly adopted dog that is adjusting to a new place. So thankful I found her on this site. I will be using her again in the future!”

“Ky is awesome!! Absolutely the nicest and you can tell how much she cares about animals. Super communicative and flexible, and takes plenty of adorable photos! 11/10 would book her again.”

“Sarah took excellent in-home care of our dog and cat while we were away six days! We had to ask an additional favor of her by bringing out trash can in after trash day. We appreciate her agreeing to do so! We definitely hope that Sarah is available next time we need someone to watch our pets!”

“Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!”

“Kendra was amazing!! She came over to our home prior to house/dog sitting to meet our babies. She kept us updated while we were away with how the dogs were doing. She also sent pictures. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”

“We're over the moon with Tarah's stellar care for our two bulldogs while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, from giving them their daily Benadryl to dealing with their sassy attitudes with patience and grace. Coming back to a house that was better than we left it and two happy pups was the best feeling ever. Tarah's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, making her our top choice for pet sitting. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring, Tarah's your person. Huge thanks to Tarah for making our time away stress-free and our dogs' tails wag like crazy!”

“Andrea was a great communicator and took great care of our dog, cat and house. The house was also spotless when we can home. We will definitely have her help again if we can!”

“Allison did a great job with our elderly, diabetic dog and our cat while we were away for a trip! Our animals were well cared for, and our house was taken care of for us while we were gone. Allison followed all of our instructions, and communicated well. We would definitely reach out to Allison for help again!”

“Sidney did such a great job with Willy! We were a bit nervous since we had never left him with a sitter before but she was phenomenal! She was able to make sure my pup was comfortable! She sent us detailed updates and photos throughout her stay as well! She was even able to accomodate a last minute adjustment to our schedule due to a flight delay! We would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting!”

“Very kind and attentive!! Would highly recommend Brenda and will for sure seek her out to watch my dog again.”

“We hired Jessica for the first time to pet/house sit our 11 year old golden retriever. She was excellent! She came over prior to meet us and our dog. She communicates well, giving us updates 2-3 times/day; she sent lots of adorable pictures as well! She washed her sheets/towels (without being instructed to) and left the house neat and tidy. Our dog seemed happy when we returned. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her in the future.”

“Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜”

“Mari B did a fantastic job taking care of our Jon Jon. She even made progress in teaching Jon Jon how to play fetch. And as a rescue dog Jon Jon has many difficulties that Madi handled beautifully. And she made sure to keep the rest of the house running smoothly as well. Can’t give Madi B. a high enough recommendation. If you want the dog/house sitting done to perfection, have Madi B. do it. I know we will.”

“Raelyn took excellent care of our Lab while we were out of town. She provided lots of updates with pictures and very communicative with us. We have already rebooked her!”

“Keirston was fantastic! As soon as I met her I was confident my pets would be well taken care of. She sent us great updates and took care of stuff around the house as needed. You could tell by the photos she sent that the pets were happy and got along with her great!”

“She took great care of our pets! Sent us videos and pictures. One of our dogs had an irritated ear and she helped sooth it. Our dogs were well taken care of.”

“James is an outstanding pet parent. When I met James, he had a Labrador retriever named Albert. He had adopted Albert as a puppy. Albert was the best cared for pet ever! Albert just passed here recently at the impressive age of 14. He has also pretty pet sat for my Akita, Cash was a puppy mill rescue. I adopted him at about a year old and he was super under socialized and extremely fearful with strangers. James was wonderfully patient with Cash in giving him both the space and the nudges he needed. Rover would be fortunate to get James as part of your team”
