“It was so helpful having her come walk my dogs when I had a couple long days at work. It took a lot of stress off of me knowing that my dogs got out and got some exercise when I wasn’t able to be there for them during the day!”
“Racheal is such a wonderful human! We love that she is part of our lives, and she is adored by my greyhound, Bobbie Sue. We view her as family, and would recommend her to everyone for assistance with their pet. :)”

“Molly has been providing us with walks and doggie day care for a number of weeks. She is always reliable, professional, and puntual! We're very glad to have her help giving our dog Ezio the exercise, care, and company he deserves while my spouse and I both work full-time at an office. She clearly knows what she's doing when taking care of pets.”
About: I have been working with dogs for years in daycare and shelter settings. I have managed play groups of up to 80 dogs, handled dog breeds of all sizes and ages, managed feeding schedules and medication administration, etc. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule!! I would love to care for your pets, or even just take them on a walk :) House sitting and dog sitting go hand in hand - I will care for your home and for your pup all in one. Leave as many instructions as makes you comfortable!!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and patient pet sitter with experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities..from super social and playful to more independent or shy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with: • Feeding routines and fresh water care • Litter box cleaning and maintenance • Playtime and enrichment • Giving space to more reserved or anxious cats • Monitoring behavior and overall well-being I’m very detail-oriented and will make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is doing well. I do work full-time as an accountant, but my schedule is very flexible in how I structure my days around watching and caring your animals and their needs! I have a fenced in backyard where my dogs can play and relax without the worry of a leash or harness, and they have free roam of my home
“She was soo helpful and is so diligent!! Today I was so stuck and I totally wrote my whole calendar day down wrong. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate. I won’t do that often but I’m so grateful”
About: Prices are negotiable. I understand when having multiple dogs it racks up to a lot. I am willing to work with you on prices. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old. My love for dogs is never ending. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 19. I’m available to stay with your dog. I am not available to bring your dog to my house. I believe dogs do best in their own environment with all their toys and their own area. I currently work full time for a daycare in Polk City. I work 10hr days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On the weekends I like to take my sister’s dog for a walk unless I am watching someone else dog I will take that dog on a walk if able to. Majority of the dogs I watch stay at home because they know that area better. Anxiety is very common in dogs that get boarded or are away from home.
“Amazing job, great communication and willingness to have a meet and greet. Flexibility was most defiantly appreciated, and trusted dog walker. We loved Joseph’s services and do recommend.”
About: Born and raised a dog lover! I’ve have 5 dogs throughout my life that I have loved so dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of my friend’s dogs in HS and college. I love to go on walks, so why not bring your pup with me! I unfortunately do not have my own dog at this time with my significant other, but I hope to get one soon! I am a teacher who is taking a small step back in education to focus on my health. I know your dogs will help me A LOT during this transition, and they will be under great care. I currently live in an apartment in Des Moines, so I am also available for drop-ins to ensure your pup is comfortable at home! I am willing to travel to different to parts of the metro to help you and your pup!

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I have experience caring for pets of all temperaments, sizes, and ages, from fur 🐶 to scales 🦎 to feathers 🐓. I grew up around farm animals, have fostered bunnies, and taken care of senior pets and animals with special needs. My favorite part about pet sitting is getting to know your pet and their unique personality🤓 I would love to help provide stress-free care for your pets while you’re away with lots of photos and love like they are my own! ♥️ I’ve had two free-roam bunnies Honey and Bee cross the “rainbow bridge” and currently have an adventure cat named Toad and two of our rescue pups we are training — a Siberian Husky named Simon and a Blue Heeler mix Sage I am free to sit wherever, whenever! I work a full-time job, but I have a flexible schedule and am open to changes according to your needs :) I am a tidy and attentive sitter that will make sure to follow directions closely. My goal is to give the best care for your pet while you’re away!
About: Hello! My name is Adriana. If you’re anything like me, you want to know exactly who you’re trusting with your furry family members while you’re away. Let me put your mind at ease and show you why your pets will be in great hands. I currently have a 16-year-old Pitbull, Buddy, a 3-year-old Shiba Inu, Nala May, and an 8-year-old cat, Bean. They are my world! I’ve cared for Buddy since he was just one year old—though sometimes it feels like he’s taken care of me. Over the years, he’s given me not only a deep love for animals but also firsthand experience in caring for pets as they age and require extra patience and attention. I’ve had Nala May since she was four months old, and I continue to train and socialize her daily. She keeps me active and always learning. I adopted Bean from a cat café in West Des Moines when she was two, and she’s been my independent, outspoken girl ever since. She’s taught me how important it is to respect each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs a slow, gentle walk, a high-energy run, or simply a warm lap to relax on, I’m happy to provide exactly what they need. My professional experience started at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I worked hands-on in play yards and learned how to read and understand dog behavior. Within a year, I advanced to an Assistant Manager position and became certified in dog and cat CPR. During my time there, I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I learned how to comfort anxious pets, manage high-energy dogs, and provide engaging enrichment activities while safely redirecting behaviors. Currently, I work at a veterinary and rehabilitation clinic Monday, Wednesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a hour break in the afternoon. I am also in school working toward becoming a registered veterinary technician. At the clinic, I’ve gained valuable medical knowledge and hands-on skills, including administering medications, injections, and fluids, assisting with mobility in senior pets, and recognizing early signs of health concerns. Animal care has always been a passion of mine. My goal is to give every pet owner peace of mind, knowing their beloved companion is safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I’m dedicated to meeting those needs with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I want every pet in my care to enjoy their time with me just as much as their owners enjoy their time away. I currently work at a veterinary clinic Monday-Friday 7:00am-6pm with a hour break at 1:00. I have a strong passion for all animals and would love to spend my evenings giving your furry friend the love and attention they deserve! I have personal experience with all dogs energy. I have had hands on experience with puppies and seniors. I do prefer to have dogs harnessed on walks to ensure their safety. I will give your pets my full undivided attention. Through employment I’ve learned how to look for healthy feces, watch movements, and behaviors to ensure they’re also a happy pal.
About: I’ve always taken care of cats because I’ve had one my whole life and now my roommate has some. I’ve also helped with my friend’s dog when needed. I work full time on the weekends and sometimes I babysit my friends kids. I can work around both of those and can always take care of pets in the free time I have. I do love animals! I can’t really bring dogs to my place as there are cats. Although in homes it always works best if I know the schedule of when the animals eat and need to go out, etc.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
