2. Luis R.
“Absolutely recommend - great communication & updates (with photos)! We felt very confident leaving our dog knowing she was going to be safe and loved. Wonderful family & the perfect set up for dogs to have everything they need.”
3. Debora K.
“I knew Debora was the right person to care for Cindy when I brought her to Debora's house to introduce the two of them. Debora had taken steps ahead of time to insure that Cindy did not get into an unsafe situation. Debora understands that a healthy cat cannot resist an open door of any kind. Debora let Cindy explore. She recognized Cindy's reactions to this unfamiliar environment. Debora was relaxed and patient. She quickly understood Cindy's personality. Debora was thorough in asking about Cindy's health. Debora is alert to nuances in behavior that may indicate a health issue in a cat. When I picked up Cindy after this her first stay, Debora commented on Cindy's vigorous, even startling, purring. Yes, that is Cindy when she is contented. I am pleased to have found such a fine caregiver for Cindy. I have already booked for two more stays with more coming up. Thank you, Debora!”
4. Evan H.
“Wiley stay with Evan and his family was great! We received pictures/videos everyday which we greatly appreciated. This was our first time using Rover, and Evan made us feel very comfortable with the whole process. Wiley was greatly taken care of and we could tell he had a good time. The yard was perfect for our dog to run around and get the outside time he needs daily. They even walked Wiley to the park. We will be using Evan in the future.”

12. Becky D.
About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.
13. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve was so wonderful to work with! She wanted all the info to make sure was fully prepared to take care of our Phil and super patient with all my questions! I literally could not have asked for a better first Rover experience! Jenevieve did have other bookings that were her regulars, but to make things more comfortable for our pooch, she had us come a little early so he could see that all was good, and he could get familiar before more friends came to play. I got lots of pictures of Phil having lots of fun and getting lots of snuggles. He truly made himself at home and that made us so happy! I appreciate how accommodating and thoughtful Jenevieve was throughout the whole processes and that made our visit to DSM really stress-free because I didn't have to worry about our little buddy at all! Thank you, Jenevieve!!! If we ever come back to Des Moines, you will be the first person we look up!”
