1. Cory G.

“Cory was a fantastic walker and play buddy for Koda! He was willing to come and meet koda ahead of time and get to know him! We will definitely use Cory again!”


2. Jessica D.

“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”


3. Troy D.

“Brad was amazing with our dog! He was incredibly conscious and respectful about maintaining any routines and training we had already established with our dog and was great with our sometimes unruly boy! I was very impressed with how communicative he was and took very well composed and extremely cute photos to send us! I would absolutely recommend Brad!”


6. Natalie L.

8. Monica D.

“I wish I could give even more of a tip (rover won't let me give more than 30%), but Monica did an amazing job today. My dog had an accident in the house and she cleaned it up even though she didn't have to. Words cannot describe how awesome Monica is. 12/10 would recommend to anyone.”


9. Courtney C.

As a responsible and reliable grad student, Lauren is available to walk dogs during the day and is also available to feed and play with dogs while owners are working or out of town.”


11. Jane O.

About: Hi, I’m Jane! I’ve been professionally caring for dogs since 2015, and I make it a priority to learn about each pet before we meet. This includes researching breed-specific needs and understanding any medical conditions to ensure I provide the best possible care. For both dogs and cats, I strive to stick as closely as possible to your routine, while adding a little extra love and exercise to help ease their anxiety while you’re away. PRICING: I offer a base rate for the first pet, with a small additional fee for each extra pet. If you have both dogs and cats, the base rate applies only once per household. Pricing Example: 1 dog, 2 cats: $19 + $4 + $4 = $27 (Note: Fees will be updated prior to booking. Pets must be from the same household.) I have a senior male Chihuahua who accompanies me on overnight stays, so my availability for house-sitting is limited to pet families where this won't be an issue. I work from home and can be flexible for scheduled drop-ins or house-sitting. The pets I care for enjoy frequent breaks to play, walk, or relax in near my lap while I work on my laptop. My policy is to never let a dog out of my sight, even in a fenced yard. Pets can often behave unpredictably when separated from their owners. I focus on keeping them engaged through exercise and play tasks, providing plenty of distractions until your return. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.


12. Yasmin M.

“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”


13. Andrea M.

“Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.”


14. Jordyn K.
“Jordyn is my go to pet sitter. She takes very good care of my two dogs that are very high maintenance. Jordyn does a wonderful job listening and following through to any of your needs when it comes to making sure you are at peace while you are away from your beloved pet.”


15. Christina C.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!


16. Torina G.

“Tori did a great job watching our dog while we were traveling. Our dog really bonded with her. She also left the house clean and tidy. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands.”


17. Stacey W.
“Stacey has taken care of my dog and 5 cats since June 2024, when I moved to Des Moines. Every weekend she has cared for them. Stacey makes sure all the pets have food and water. She scoops all the litter boxes. She gives my dog her medications and takes her for walks. She send me updates and pictures. She is very dependable. I never have I worry who is going to take care of everyone while I’m gone at work.”


18. Margaret K.
About: I always say my super power is getting dogs and children to bond with me right away! I’ve lived with a dog or had a dog for most of my life! And after my Great Dane passed away in 2020, I have found myself not ready to be a dog mom again. So, I have become the best dog auntie I can be! Whatever your dog(s) need, whether it a quick walk around the block or a long hike, or just some cuddles, I am your person! I am here to spoil your dog just as you would. Also I am allergic to cats (I know sad) so I would prefer to not dog sit with a house full of cats but I am willing to do one cat in the house hold for a short amount of time! I am a photographer, who is a busybody type of person, so my genius idea is why not spend my free time with some doggos! Because let’s be honest dogs are better than humans! My Great Dane had separation anxiety, so I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and kind person to watch your fur baby or babies. And I especially know how hard it is to find someone willing to stay at your house for the sake of your dog(s). I get it I have been there! So I am willing to do whatever is best for you and your dog(s).


19. Javon L.

“I love when Javon takes my dog for a walk. She’s reliable & I trust her with my dog! Javon has a lot of experience with dogs and is very knowledgeable. I love the photos she sends of my dog on their walks. Would highly recommend her for everyone :)”


20. Kevin R.
“Kevin is trusting, independent and takes direction well. If you ask him to help you out he’s always loyal and generous. We found him to go above and beyond expectations. .”
