“Monica was great again! We would absolutely recommend her. She is great at communicating and makes sure our geriatric boy is well taken care of.”
“Hanna is so attentive and great with Ole!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We asked Lisa to see about helping us out when we were going out of town because she has many repeat customers and great reviews. She agreed to watch our cats and came to our house prior to meet the cats and get any special directions. Lisa asked questions and even got to pet a few of our cats. During out vacation she stopped by and kept us updated on how things were going including pictures! Thanks Lisa! We look forward to seeing you next vacation!”
“Ali did a wonderful job with drop-in sessions for my senior dog. He loved her visits and was always happy and tired afterwards. Ali’s communication is prompt and clear. A member of my household is immunocompromised so we take precautions around illness, and Ali was flexible and very respectful.”
“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”
“Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.”
“Our dogs are a bit of a handful and Ash did a great job! They got lots of love and attention and we felt very safe with her here. Would definitely recommend!”
“Very considerate, consistent with communication, and attentive to care details. My Kittens were well taken care of, would definitely book again. Thank you!”
“Daniel always does such a great job taking care of our girl! The photos he sends while we’re away make it clear that our pup is getting love and having a blast. We’re so glad to have Daniel close by to help us out!”
“Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!”
“My animals love Cory. He goes above and beyond, even taking my ten year old Pom Lily home with him during tornado warnings. I never have to worry with Cory taking care of my animals. He’s very responsible and kind.”
“Morgan was absolutely phenomenal! We have some older cats who require medication and she was a pro! Will definitely be reaching out again the next time we leave town.”

“Molly was amazing! She is very detail oriented and did an amazing job at keeping me updated throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone who is looking for a loving sitter!”
“I have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!”
“Tanya was extremely attentive to our cats while we were gone and very attuned to their body language and (obviously) non-verbal communication. She was also great at communicating with us. Couldn’t recommend a better caretaker - would gladly hire her again!”
About: I love animals. I've had cats and cared for them for 20+ years and also have had dogs. I currently take care of Macy who is a 13 year old mutt - probably some standard schnauzer in her. She is the light of my life! I'd love to meet your pets and give them the best care possible! I take care of my own animal during the week and have a Full Time job. I'm looking for pet sitting on the weekends - Friday after 5pm to Sunday, 5pm. I live in an apartment and won't be offering pet boarding. I'm mainly interested in pet sitting in your home or play-times with your pet.
“Everything handled.”
About: I’m the go-to petsitter in my friend group! I grew up on a farm with dozens of pets and I love getting to know new animals. I am open to caring for any critters and can’t wait to give your animal some one-on-one attention. I have a flexible full time job (M-F, 9-5) where I travel around the DSM area which allows me to stop in and check on pets whenever. I’m free on nights and weekends. I’m diligent when it comes to privacy and safety and believe in treating every animal and home with care. I think communication with owners is huge and I like to check in frequently.
