Meagan and family were so kind and welcoming! Grateful for her flexibility to set up a meet and greet and for the attentive and loving care my dog received while with her! I’ll admit - I can be a helicopter dog mom and Meagan received all my info and requests with such kindness. Definitely look forward to booking again and HIGHLY recommend! 😃

Kayla is wonderful! Very patient with our girls. While watching them over the weekend, she took them for walks and gave them love and attention. I can tell she did well with the girls, as they were relaxed and not nerved up from Kayla being at our home for the weekend. Thank you Kayla for taking GREAT care of our girls!

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Roscoe never lacked for attention, care or pets while in Cliff’s care, We received videos, messages as to how he was doing, which really helped as we don’t leave Roscoe often. We definitely will use him again if he’s available, but we can see where he would be in popular demand!

Savannah was amazing! She went above and beyond for our dog. She provided pictures and videos during our vacation, and let us know how everything was going. You can truly tell how much she and her husband care. Our dog was sad to leave her and her dogs behind.. shows how much love he received! Highly reccommed!!

I think Missy has got to be the best sitter my dog Bella has ever had. Not only did Missy welcome the challenge of a spicy chihuahua but she mastered it. By the end she let her hold her! And if any of you are owners of little anxious dogs you know this is a big deal!! Missy also did a great job communicating with us and sending tons of photos which we appreciated. Having Bella stay with Missy made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing Bella was in good hands. Would highly recommend booking with Missy and I’m sure Bella looks forward to her next visit!

When you choose Rover, please book with Elizabeth! She was nothing but amazing with our dog. Our Corgi was in her care for 5 days and 4 nights. Not once did I feel anxious about being away from him because she made us feel like family since the very beginning. I’ve read the reviews and have experienced first hand how much love she has for her clients. Your dog can expect a wonderful fenced in backyard, clean kennels, scheduled meal times, and lots of loves and playtime. I couldn’t be happier! We will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again!

Amanda spoiled our dog all weekend! Played catch and cuddled and let him take a nap in her lap (he's almost 100 lbs so that was above and beyond the call of duty)! Another plus is there were 4-5 large dogs for Osborne to play with in Amanda's fenced in backyard so he came home happily exhausted. Amanda was extremely flexible in drop off/pick up times which was greatly appreciated as we were heading out of town for the weekend. She also carefully monitored his food so he only ate his food and didn't sneak other dog food and get an upset stomach. Highly recommend Amanda!

Mackenzie and Anthony did a fantastic job keeping us updated, sending lots of pictures and videos while we were away. They're genuine, dog-loving people who truly want your pup to have a great time in your absence. Highly recommend!

She brushed him regularly, and the litter box was clean when I got home. I was happy with her services and will ask her to care for my pet again when I go on vacation.

About: I've personally had many dogs of different sizes and energies, including a Border Collie, Boxer, American Bulldog. I have experience in training (reward training). I am capable of basic grooming, including nails. The Tibetan Spaniel listed on my profile is actually my daughter's dog and he is only at my home during college breaks, otherwise, they are in Ohio the rest of the year Think of your dog's stay at my house as a vacation at Grandma's. Your dog will be spoiled to the extent that YOU allow (and maybe a tennsy bit more). 😉 I mostly work from home with occasional short stints in a workplace and a very flexible schedule. I can be home at any time to ensure that dogs can potty, get playtime, etc. I never work on the weekends. I have a half acre of flat, safe, fenced in yard with grass and gardens. My schedule is very flexible and can adapt to your dog's feeding, sleeping and play schedule. I have no issues waking early, etc.

About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I have a cat who gets along with just about any animal, I also live in a one bedroom if he would need it be separated. :) I have cared for others pets since I was young and I love taking doggos for long walks and giving lots of pets! I enjoy keeping the owners updated with pictures and provide a safe environment for their pets. I’m currently free quite often during the day. I am a teacher so school doesn’t start until the end of the month. Once school starts I can still watch on weekends! I live in an apartment with a dog park and I love to take dogs for LONG walks. I love giving pets and will make sure your pet is happy and healthy.

About: I have personally had a pet or 3 since I was 13 years old. I begged for a cat for years and once I got one, I never have been without at least one pet. I have been volunteering with the ARL since 2005. I have had 30+ foster dogs through them as well. I just love animals. I do have weekends blocked but just ask about availability! I am retired. I enjoy going for walks with dogs and depending on the dog spending time outside in my fenced in backyard. I have a 6 foot fence. Your dog will have the ability to be part of our family and our family pets are on our furniture. We do separate our home animals, fosters and house guests at night. The "regulars" get to sleep in our beds while our guests get other accommodations. It makes for better harmony for us. Because we foster on a regular basis our animals are very used to different dogs coming into our home. Our home is pretty quiet and relaxing.

I'm pretty sure my dog, Frank, is currently petitioning for a legal name change to "Frank of Ames" after his stay with Katrina yesterday. We were in town visiting our daughter at Iowa State and needed a safe, fun place for Frank to stay, and we hit the jackpot. From the moment we dropped him off, Frank was already sizing up his new crew—Katrina's two incredibly friendly dogs—and planning his fun. The photo and video updates she sent were amazing, showing Frank living his absolute best life, running around and making new friends. Seriously, if you ever need photographic evidence that your dog is having a better time than you are, book with Katrina. Frank came home happy, perfectly exhausted, and now gives us serious side-eye every time we suggest a plain old walk instead of a dog playdate at her place. Thank you, Katrina! You made our trip worry-free. Highly, highly recommend!

About: I've had dogs since the day I was born, and responsibly started taking care of them since I was around 10 years old. I've taken care of dogs from 8 weeks old to 16 years. As an adult, I've had 2 dogs and have cared for them in their crazy puppyhood to more gentle yet demanding senior care. As your dog sitter, I can provide enrichment via walks, playing, and basic tricks and skills you want me to work on with your dog. I can feed and refresh water bowls. I can help with medication if needed. I am happy to care for any of your pets' needs during a visit. I treat my all of my pets like my children and I am so excited to start caring for yours! I am a teacher currently on summer vacation. I am free to work during the week and some weekends from around 11-3 for drop in visits or walks. Once the school year starts back up, I may be available during holiday breaks and some weekends. Expect thorough reports and cute photos after a sitting or walk. As a regular user of Rover services myself, I know what I like and want from my sitters, so I will put that into my work. I will enter the home however is most comfortable with the client and lock the home back up when I leave. All walks will be leashed or contained in a stroller. I do not offer off-leash walks for the safety and liability of myself, your pet, and anyone we might encounter. If your pet is crated, I will crate them again when I leave. I will only enter spaces necessary for the care of the pet.

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!

About: I have personally had a pet or 3 since I was 13 years old. I begged for a cat for years and once I got one, I never have been without at least one pet. I have been volunteering with the ARL since 2005. I have had 30+ foster dogs through them as well. I just love animals. I do have weekends blocked but just ask about availability! I am retired. I enjoy going for walks with dogs and depending on the dog spending time outside in my fenced in backyard. I have a 6 foot fence. Your dog will have the ability to be part of our family and our family pets are on our furniture. We do separate our home animals, fosters and house guests at night. The "regulars" get to sleep in our beds while our guests get other accommodations. It makes for better harmony for us. Because we foster on a regular basis our animals are very used to different dogs coming into our home. Our home is pretty quiet and relaxing.

About: As a dog (and animal) lover with experience as a dog-foster mom, animal rescue volunteer, I will provide your precious pup with loving care. We lost our wonderful 15-year-old Boxer in October 2025 and after many years of having a 'home dog' as my daughter called Bristol, we are solely getting our cuddles and pets now from our pup guests. I'm looking forward to making your pup feel as 'at home' as can be while you are away. My experience with dogs in shelters, dog sitting for friends/neighbors, and being a dog mom for 20+ years to my sweet girls (Samantha, Briley & Bristol), in addition to being raised in a family that adored dogs, leaves me with a soft spot for each and every furry, 4-legged pooch. My Rover journey loosely started in 2018, but I was actively fostering dogs through Underdog MN in Minneapolis and didn't have the space to also take on Rover clients. Then, there was the series of events: pandemic, welcomed a daughter, and moved to Iowa. I started providing care through Rover in late 2024 and it has been so rewarding and fun. We have really enjoyed getting to know our repeat guests and my daughter and I talk about our newfound dog friends even while they aren't with us, hoping we can see them again. Safety first! Often, there will be two dog guests at one time, while always being mindful of temperaments and preferences of each dog. Occasionally, during busy times there may be 3 pups visiting, especially in brief overlaps of drop-offs and pick-ups. While dogs can have the run of the house, they are supervised and dogs from different homes are not left alone together while I'm away, which typically is for relatively brief periods of time to do a drop-off/pick-up or errand. Dogs are also fed separately in their own areas for safety. If your pup is more of a grazer (as our Bristol was), I may have to offer the food periodically throughout the day when another pup guest is present making sure it's available when they are wanting it but not leaving it out throughout the day. I know the importance of having strong communication and trust in those who are caring for your dog and hope to meet your pet very soon! I have the benefit of working remotely and enjoy taking time throughout the day to provide pet care. My schedule is flexible and I can adjust according to what's needed to allow pups to spend time outdoors or take walks. I have a fenced-in and very spacious backyard! I follow all safety instructions from each family to ensure animals stay safe and are always supervised. In addition to yard safety, effective March 2026, I have started a kennel cough protocol. Fortunately, there have been no known cases (asymptomatic or symptomatic) but after learning recently that droplets can remain in the air for up to 2 weeks, I've incorporated an extra cleaning step after each dog visit to have an extra layer of disinfectant and would also like to ask each family to share info on updated shots for Bordetella which is required yearly, but more ideally if dogs will be in social settings is ideal every 6 months. If you'd like to share a screenshot over the app or bring along the forms, it will be great to confirm the safety of your dog and minimize any risk to the next guest. In the same records should be the current Rabies and Distemper/Parvovirus (DHPP or DAPP) as well.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up, my family had two Saint Bernards and a Yellow Labrador, which gave me experience with large breeds from an early age. Today, I share my home with an English Springer Spaniel, a Throwback Pomeranian, and a couple of reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve been pet sitting for the past six years for friends and family. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to their normal routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am currently available early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. When school starts, I’ll also be available during the day, giving me even more flexibility to care for your pets! I know your pets are family, and I care for them that way. When I’m in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated so you always know how your furry family members are doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: As a dog mama myself, I understand that our dogs are more than just our pets. They’re an integral part of our family! I strive to provide them with the necessary care they need, but also the enrichment they need to thrive and live a happy life. I love to play with them, take them out for walks, and provide them with love and pets. It’s important to me that they are not just physically cared for, but they are mentally stimulated through play and emotionally cared for at every visit. I'm always mindful that all pets should be greeted with a slow introduction, that does not come off as intrusive, or threatening. Even the most social pets, can behave differently when an unfamiliar person enters their home while family is not present. I always take that into consideration upon each visit, as I get to know your dog/cat, and build a trusting relationship. Whether your pet goes out on a leash, uses a fenced in yard, or requires potty pads to go to the bathroom, I'll follow your instructions as discussed through the Rover app, or during our initial "meet and greet". Requested information about your pet -Medication schedule -Behavioral issues that may affect walking your pet on public sidewalks, history of biting or aggression while being fed. -Ongoing medical conditions -Vet number and/or emergency contact I currently work on a hybrid schedule - 3 days in West Des Moines and 2 days at home in Ankeny. I have a flexible schedule where I can pop around to your pet when needed. I have a heart for animals along with the patience needed to give quality pet care. Your pet will always come first and I would treat them as if they are my own.

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

I think Missy has got to be the best sitter my dog Bella has ever had. Not only did Missy welcome the challenge of a spicy chihuahua but she mastered it. By the end she let her hold her! And if any of you are owners of little anxious dogs you know this is a big deal!! Missy also did a great job communicating with us and sending tons of photos which we appreciated. Having Bella stay with Missy made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing Bella was in good hands. Would highly recommend booking with Missy and I’m sure Bella looks forward to her next visit!

Not once did I feel anxious about being away from him because she made us feel like family since the very beginning. I’ve read the reviews and have experienced first hand how much love she has for her clients. Your dog can expect a wonderful fenced in backyard, clean kennels, scheduled meal times, and lots of loves and playtime. I couldn’t be happier! We will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again!

Amanda spoiled our dog all weekend! Played catch and cuddled and let him take a nap in her lap (he's almost 100 lbs so that was above and beyond the call of duty)! Another plus is there were 4-5 large dogs for Osborne to play with in Amanda's fenced in backyard so he came home happily exhausted. Amanda was extremely flexible in drop off/pick up times which was greatly appreciated as we were heading out of town for the weekend. She also carefully monitored his food so he only ate his food and didn't sneak other dog food and get an upset stomach. Highly recommend Amanda!

Mabel loved her week with Alysha! We loved the pictures and updates throughout the week. Great communication and flexible when we wanted to pick up a day early. We wouldn’t hesitate booking another stay!

Cary & Lara seemed to welcome Milli into their home with ease! Milli was completely relaxed after her stay which tells me she had a very comfortable visit! I appreciated Lara walking Milli the morning I picked up! Milli loves to walk! Thank you so much!

Holly and family were amazing. They boarded our two dogs for 12 days without any issues. Holly sent updates and photos every day and our dogs loved staying with her. We hope to do business with Holly every time we need a sitter!

Ashly once again took care of our baby and did a great job! She was flexible with drop off/pick up and communication options with my husband since I was going to be out of town when he dropped Hank off and picked him up! Grateful that she cares for our fur baby as her own!

Amazing experience. Our dog gets homesick but Alexandra was there to help him adjust while we were out of town. He LOVED the big backyard and his new dog friend. Thank you for taking such care of our dog and giving us updates along the way - you went above and beyond.

Our Leo stayed with Tiffany for a second time and this time was for a little over a week. Tiffany and her family welcomed him as their own and he had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Tiffany for any boarding services as she once again, has went above and beyond. She communicates well and quickly and is always so so kind and generous. Really can't recommend her enough!!

Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!

Roxy was amazing watching Jack, they treated him like one of their own dogs. We will absolutely be coming back! She sent pictures and updates which helped make his first stay easier on me.

Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!
