“I had something come up last minute and Alexandra was so sweet, responsive and accommodating. So nice and easy to work with and Moose seemed comfortable with short notice set up!!”
“Kimberlee is AWESOME!! Her and her son gave my pup all the lovins all day and she gave me updates throughout the day! She is very attentive and has a huge passion/love for dogs. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful with my dog, Brooke! She was so good to take us on last minute. She sent lots of updates and pictures, and always responded immediately to my texts. We would absolutely return again!”
“My puppy enjoys his stay with the sitter ❤️ Very caring and reliable sitter. Harsha was comfortable and well taken care of, and communication was clear throughout. I really appreciated the flexibility and attention to his routine. Would happily be my go to sitter for Harsha.”
“Above and beyond, thats about how I describe Tanya and her family. We have a very shy rat terrier mix with high anxiety and in just a few minutes warmed up to this dog loving family and played like shes known them all her life. Spending the whole day (over 12 hours) we had absolutely no worries and nothing but pure confidence. The photos she took were fantastic! If you need someone to care for your fur baby for a while, look no further than Tanya!”
“Samantha is amazing! So are her pets! We booked last minute and she was so willing to work with us! She is very responsive, will get back to you quickly. She sends lots of videos and pictures throughout your pets day! Your pet will get plenty of exercise if you book with Samantha! We have already booked another week with her! My ONLY negative with her would be Ollie is definitely going to miss his friends! ☺️”
“This was our first Rover booking for a day of daycare. Our sheepadoodle was pretty anxious when we arrived. Scott did a good job of putting her at ease. His dog Brinley is gentle and did her part in making our dog less nervous too. It wasn’t long after we left that we got a video of her playing with 3 other dogs. That was very reassuring. We chose Scott because we liked that he and Jess were full time dedicated to the care of dogs. We liked that there would be other dogs there because we felt being busy with playmates would be a positive. It’s clear that Scott is serious about providing great care to dogs and it appears he has earned many loyal customers. I don’t think anyone should have any qualms about giving them a try! I am glad we did!”
“Meghann was so responsive when we reached out somewhat last-minute and communicated seamlessly while providing care for Monte. Would absolutely recommend Meghann and we’ll be using her again!”
“This was the first time my dogs have gone over to her house and they loved it!! They loved hanging out with her dog and just being able to be around someone all day! She was very sweet and attentive to their needs!”
“Taitum was so accommodating to my schedules and my pup seemed to have so much fun. Even though his stay was for just a few hours, she was so communicative and sent pictures!!”

About: Hello! My name is Rachael and I live in Windsor Heights! I’m happy to help take care of your fur babies! I currently own two rescue dogs and a cat (Baloo Galaxy and Amelia)! I’m happy to help with your dog walking and dog boarding needs as I am able! I enjoy running and walking and love exploring new parks. I have a fenced in yard. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible! I was raised with dogs and got my own dog after I graduated college in 2009. My second dog was a foster that I found in 2015. Both typically get along well with other dogs after a meet and greet. I look forward to talking to you soon!
“Jen was an absolute delight and took great care of both of my dogs! She was extremely accommodating and friendly! I highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her in the future as the need arises!”
“This was an amazing experience! I needed to make a trip to Ankeny and couldn’t leave my dog home for that long of a time so I hopped on this app and found her, so glad I did! He was a little scared at first but shortly made himself at home. Good communication and she sent photos! Made me feel good 💕I will be contacting Meagan again!”
“Melanie and family were so friendly that my dogs—a 4- and a 12- year-old Havanese—relaxed immediately. Melanie met us in the yard and the dogs trotted away with her without looking back. The dogs were with her for 6 hours and she sent multiple photos and status updates. We would definitely ask Melanie to watch our dogs again!”

Sarah takes great care of Sam when I need a sitter. Sam has separation anxiety so it is important that I find a sitter who works from home and Sarah fits the bill perfectly. She has a huge fenced-in backyard that Sam can roam around in and discover new smells. I highly recommend Sarah!
My puppy enjoys his stay with the sitter ❤️ Very caring and reliable sitter. Harsha was comfortable and well taken care of, and communication was clear throughout. I really appreciated the flexibility and attention to his routine. Would happily be my go to sitter for Harsha.
