Aaliyah was so sweet and took great care of our dog! She regularly sent updates and photos, and left our home cleaner than it was when she got there. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Thanks again for taking great care of my fur babies. I know Tommie can be difficult with her deafness and craziness. You do a fantastic job every time.

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Allison recently stayed with Maisie again for 4 days. I say “again” because we are repeat customers of Allison’s. she is such a great dog/housesitter. I know I can travel without worrying about Maisie’s care and without the hassle of taking Maisie someplace else. And the condo is spotless when I return. Thank you Allison!

Yasmin took excellent care of my dog during a week-long trip and I would definitely book with her again! Ranger gets anxious sometimes, especially when his routine is disrupted, but he seemed happy and content in all of the picture/video updates (and I appreciated her sending those regularly). Thank you for keeping my best friend happy and healthy while we were gone, Yasmin!

Absolutely! Here's a polished version tailored for a testimonial: I never once worried that my girls weren’t safe or being lovingly cared for. It takes a truly special person to look after someone else’s pets with the same devotion as their own—and that’s exactly what we experienced. The peace of mind and genuine care made all the difference.

Nothing but AMAZING things to say about Mackenzie and Anthony who took the time to watch our sweet boy Tiger! We were new to the Rover app and had some anxiety, but Anthony provided updates with photos and videos throughout the entire day! We are so so thankful! Anthony went above and beyond!

Isabella was fantastic with my boys! From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs. She communicated with me regularly, providing updates and making sure I felt at ease while I was away. I was especially grateful when she stepped in at the last minute to administer eye drops to one of my boys….her willingness to go the extra mile was truly impressive. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend Isabella for any pet sitting needs!

About: I started in the veterinary field at the age of 15 as a kennel technician and cross trained in the clinic as a veterinary assistant. I then went to school for animal/veterinary science and graduated with valuable skills and education. After school I went into zookeeping where i cared for a variety of taxa including but not limited to carnivores and hoofed animals. After leaving the field and changing careers, I became a foster home for Oh My Dog Rescue based in the Des Moines IA area. As a Retail Manager my schedule is not consistent however I guarantee that I will check on your animals a minimum of twice per day unless otherwise agreed upon. I do best house/petsitting for clients who leave detailed instructions and emergency contacts. I bring structure and high quality care to the table in every home I enter.

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

Natalie agreed to an overnight stay with only 2 days notice and she was wonderful. She is attentive to the pups and shared detailed updates and photos. She was very considerate of the house and cleaned up better than expected. Would definitely use her again.

Jessica was so great to work with. She was communicative, sent daily pics and updates of my dog, and my dog absolutely loved her. In addition, when she had a long shift at work, she had her boyfriend hang out with Rory so she wouldn't be locked up all day (we agreed on this before even booking.) Will absolutely book again!
