Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.

Casandra was absolutely amazing! You can tell she has so much love for the animals in her care. We were kept up to date with updates throughout the entire stay and Penny looked like she has so much fun with Casandra! Book with her!

Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.

Alice did a great job with our dog. She communicated just the right amount and even cared for him over a major holiday. I think she even gave him a bath. Would definitely recommend!

Lisa was a wonderful host to our two senior dogs. This was our first time using Rover and the dogs had a rough start adjusting (had multiple accidents in the home). Lisa was patient and was solution focused. She tried different methods to decrease their anxiety and provided us frequent updates on how they are doing. They definitely adapted with her help! One of our dogs is diabetic and Lisa helped us administer his medication injection as well.

Ashley and Ozzie took good care of our dog while we vacationed. We appreciated the photos they sent along with updates on how it was going. I was nervous about leaving him but they put my mind at ease with their reassuring words.

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!

I have booked with Jessica a few times now and recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their pet. This most recent time I did not realize that my pup had a broken nail before dropping her off and Jessica saw it right away, took her to the vet, and went above and beyond to care for her during her week long stay. Also, my flight back to Des Moines was extremely delayed and Jessica was super accommodating and understanding. Jessica is incredibly responsive and I trust her completely with my dog Iommi. Whether you need a daycare stay or extended stay, Jessica is the person to book with. Thank you so much again Jessica!

Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.

Kayla was awesome! I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn't know but she provided so many photo updates and my pets genuinely enjoyed spending time with Kayla. My other sitter had a family emergency last minute so I had to find a new sitter on very short notice and kayla was very willing to help me out. I will definitely be using kayla next time we travel. I cannot say enough great things.

As a first time Rover user, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I dropped off my high energy Australian Shepherd. Priscilla was a phenomenal sitter, sending me updated via pictures. She made me confident that my dog was in good hands, with friends to play with! I’m so glad that I chose to go with her, and will reach out to her again should I need a sitter!

Scott was very attentive to Queenie . I left her for a short overnight trip and she was treated like a Queen . Scott made sure she ate well and played a lot outside . He kept in great communication. She even got a dog Cookie snack at the end . Definitely will return !
