“Another great stay for our pup with Holly! We are so grateful to Holly for accommodating a last minute stay that our dog clearly loved. Excellent communication and care.”
“Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.”
“Cynthia was so easy to work with and was flexible to do a last minute booking. They were so sweet and have a great environment for out. My pup left happy, we will definitely be back!”
“Melanie and family took care of Maxim for more than a week like a family. They shared updates regularly and were very caring. We are so happy and would definitely recommend them.”
“Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.”
“Thank you so much for such a great first time experience. We appreciate the daily updated and pictures. My Gandalf will definitely visit again in the future. Thanks again.”
“My doodles had such a great time with Meagan in her home! She has a gorgeous spacious backyard for them to run and play in, which they LOVE. My boys always sleep great the night I pick them up, so I know they wore themselves out having fun! I’ll definitely keep using Meagan as a sitter when I’m out of town 🙂”
“Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Shaelea is great to work with. She has watched my dog twice now. She is very friendly and a great communicator. She accepted my fairly last-minute request, which was so helpful. I highly recommend her to others.”
“Kimberlee is wonderful! Our pup is a repeat customer of hers, and he didn’t even look back when we dropped him off. His tail was wagging the whole time! She sends lots of photos, and it’s clear your dog is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely be bringing our pup back!”
“Erin and Chris are amazing!! They were super responsive. Genuinely listened to all of my dog mom concerns and were gracious and accommodating!! I got lots of pictures with updates and reassurance that everything was going well!! I will absolutely rebook with them when I have future needs!!”
“Matt and Samantha were great! They provided lots of updates and pictures which we appreciated so much. We don't leave our pup often so it's comforting to know he's in such good hands. I did reach out due to weather concerns we may need to extend a day. Although we did not need to do that, they were very flexible in offering an additional day if needed.”
“This was the second time we left Stormy with Evan. The first time was for two weeks and it worked out so well for us and Stormy and I did not hesitate to leave him again with Evan for a weekend. I appreciate the photos and updates Evan sent while we were gone, and Stormy seems to enjoy staying with him. ”
“I think my dog (female) likes Osvaldo more than me know! He took good care of her for 2 1/2 days while I had to be out-of-state. My Tequila behaved herself even around his family.”
“Cory has been a fantastic companion dog sitter for us time and time again! He does well with Skip's anxiety and give him great attention and exercise to keep him comfortable when we travel!!”
“Cassandra was amazing with our girls! She kept us updated and sent pictures during their stay. We highly recommend her and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Cassandra!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”
“I’m so happy I picked Tam and Alexander to watch our dog while we were out of town! The communication was great and I received so many pictures and updates. I would 100% recommend them and we will for sure use them again when we travel ☺️”

“Kayla was great! She was friendly and immediately loved on our cat during our initial meet and greet! She was prompt with her drop ins and kept us well informed while we were away! Her report cards were fun to read and she always included great pics to let us know the cat was well taken care of!”
“Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!”
“She has a special touch for sure. Our cat has a fear of strangers however, I received photos of Morgan brushing our shy kitty. Morgan was the perfect person to care for our pets.”
“Rachael has been a regular sitter of ours and we love having her as one! I think Rachael is compassionate, caring, and understanding with our kitties. I highly recommend her services!”

“Jenevieve was incredible to work with! Very communicative and made sure to let us know when she’d be early/late. Will definitely book with her again when we need someone!”
“Allison checked in on our kitty while we were away. She did exactly what we needed and then some. I appreciate her bringing in packages without being asked and took extra care to clean up after our kitty. We will definitely be contacting Allison again for any future pet needs.”
“William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.”

I follow all client instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and playtime preferences. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, love, and enrichment, while also keeping their space tidy and comfortable. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m confident handling pets with special needs or administering medications safely. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy and cared for.
About: I have had cats since I was very young, and know that they each have their own unique personality. I have learned how to adapt to their preferences including their alone time and not disturbing their long naps!! I adore how they are quiet and sly, yet loving!! I have had experience in treating different injuries on previous cats that I’ve had, which makes me aware of how to treat most situations.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of animal experience combined with 12 years of professional pet care. From dogs and cats to horses, ferrets, rabbits, chickens, and fish, I understand that every animal has unique needs. Weather it's administering medications, caring for senior pets with a gentle touch, or simply providing companionship and love, I treat every pet as if they were my own so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind. As someone who has spent a lifetime around animals, pet care is already part of my everyday life. I understand how important routine is for animals and strive to maintain their normal schedule so they feel safe, comfortable, and lived while their family is away. At this time I am unable to bring your pet home with me. But I happy to stay with them in there home. I am a responsible adult with great love for animals.
“Abby was a fantastic sitter for our elderly cat, Bob, who has some pretty high snuggle needs. She went out of her way to introduce herself in person before our trip, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Bob's routine and personality. While we were away, she was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, giving us regular updates that made us feel so at ease. Bob seemed to warm up to Abby quickly, and it was clear he was well cared for while we were gone. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us true peace of mind. We’d absolutely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!”
“Molly was amazing with our two cats. She followed everything I outlined perfectly and was super attentive. Her updates helped us feel at ease while we were out of the country. I knew we left our cats in good hands. I highly recommend letting Molly look after your animals!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I have taken care of bunnies, ferrets, hamsters, cats and dogs! I am a proud dog owner myself. I am very comfortable with walking, feeding, and bathing pets. I am passionate and willing to learn all different breed types and what each specific furbaby needs! I am currently a elementary teacher, so I am looking for a way to continue my passion and love for animals this summer through this service. I am interested in doing part-time work. I care for pets based on the individual pet needs. Making sure that the breed is taken into account, especially as it gets hotter outside. I have a doggy pool and hose system for dogs to play in the background. A very quiet neighborhood for walking. I enjoy playing with dogs inside and outside the home to burn off some energy and making sure that they are getting groomed if thats a requirement. I am comfortable with taking multiple dogs on walks.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Carlisle
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.
“What a wonderful daycare for our 11 month old, high energy black lab. Mackenzie had to deal with a lot from our Eddie, and she handled him so well. Her other dogs are such a delight, fun and happy!”
About: I have had pets for my whole life, whether that be hamsters, fish, dogs, cats, bunnies, and even wildlife who need extra support to get back into their habitat. I have tons of experience with different kinds of dogs. I have had my dogs since they were puppies all the way to the end of their lives, which gives me knowledge about each of the stages of pet’s lives. I also have volunteered at a dog shelter for 6+ years, so I have experience working with reactive dogs to dogs who are extremely timid and shy. I can guarantee that I have seen all kinds of personalities between all kinds of animals. I also have worked with cats at the shelter, which also gives me insight on the way cats can be which could range from very sassy (like my cat Benny lol!), to the sweetest cats. Along with those experiences with different personalities, I have lots of experiences with injured animals and have had exposure to treating wounds/minor injuries in animals. I have had to learn how to treat my dog’s diabetes since she was recently diagnosed, and have accommodated my lifestyle to fit her needs as a diabetic. I also have learned how to manage an obese dog’s weight into a healthier weight. Overall, I have grown up surrounded by animals and have seen an abundance of different situations within different kinds of animals!! I currently attend a university in the Des Moines metro and will be commuting from my home to school. This ensures that I have time to go back and forth between my house and school, which will allow me to make frequent trips to check on the pet. I also live with my parents who work from home, so there will always be someone watching the pet and ensuring that everything is going well. I get off from school around noon every day, so that will allow me to go back home and spend the rest of the afternoon with the pet and pay full attention towards them!! In my home, I am responsible for feeding, bathing, cleaning after, and spending time with all of my pets. I have learned how to trim nails, properly bathe a pet, treat one of my dogs that has diabetes, and clean wounds when a pet gets injured. I have been able to experience many situations with pets and stay calm during an accident. I am willing to do anything to accommodate any pet because they deserve to have a life of luxury, just like us! I am also committed to ensuring that any client who has special accommodations for their pets gets those wishes granted and will do everything in my power to make sure the pet has a great time with me!!
“Alexandra is great with Winnie and very communicative. She understood concerns I had and ensures Winnie gets a good mix of play and rest time. I’m not sure Winnie wants to leave when I come pick her up! She clearly enjoys her time here.”
About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!
“Kelsey was wonderful with our girl Bonnie! Bonnie is a little anxious at first and has a bit of a loud mouth 😂but Kelsey was patient and had her relaxed and playing/napping in no time. We will absolutely trust her with Bonnie again.”
“Sarah and her kids were great with Ozzy! He seemed like he had tons of fun and was so tired at pickup. That was the best result being that he napped the entire time on the next road trip destination. She handled Ozzy with care and sent lots of fun updates. 5⭐️!!!”

About: NOTE: Off during summer, but I work weekdays throughout the school year. Still available during school, but pets will be at home without me on weekdays for about 7 hours. I have owned and cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for small dogs <25 pounds all the way up to large sized Great Danes > 200 pounds. I have been fostering dogs for Safe Paws Iowa for the past 4 years. I am available for a large portion of the summer because I only coach softball outside of the school year. I am very active and would love to share that energy with dogs! Walking, jogging, or just playing in the doggy pool is no issue at all. My Golden loves to play if yours does! If not, I have the space to separate dogs too. Lastly, I have experience giving dogs meds as some of the dogs in my care have different long term conditions. Please reach out with any questions! Can’t wait to meet your precious pups! Please contact me if you have any remaining questions! I am mostly free over the summer and weekends. I run errands or make plans outside of when I’m taking care of pets. Pet care is my priority while hosting! I have a fenced in yard, my own can join in play if wanted, I have gates/doors and a finished lower level where I can separate dogs if need be, and have multiple kennels. I allow dogs on furniture, but can follow owner house rules.
“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!”
“First time ever using this app and Lucia made it easy to book with her, nice and responsive! She sent me a video of my dog and that was comforting! Kona was happy and got to play her little heart out! Thank you so much!”
“Very accommodating on very short notice. Paige took great care of Cricket while I dealt with an emergency with another pet and I was able to rest easy that Cricket was in good hands!”
“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!”
“Jaden has an obvious love for dogs! He is very knowledgeable about handling different breeds and handling them together. Jaden went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my boy Duke's special needs. I wish I never had to be without my bud, but when I do I will leave him with someone like Jaden!”
“Angie was so great with our guy! She’s extremely accommodating to schedule changes and was exactly what we needed while back visiting family. If we come back this fall she will be the first one we check for availability!”

I will supply the care your pet needs per your instructions and make sure that your loved one is healthy and happy while you are away from home. If you have questions, feel free to ask! Pet care is my main gig! Between grooming, training, and pet-sitting, I am always keeping busy.

Additionally, I can leash walk dogs or allow them to spend time in a large 10x10 run that is inside a fenced yard
“Mackenzie does an amazing job with communicating, taking pictures, and discussing anything that comes up during her stay! Could not recommend enough. Finn looks forward to her visits and cuddles!”
About: Throughout high school and my first two years at college, I've consistently had the opportunity to dog sit for coworkers, friends, family, or people who knew me from a friend! I'm used to taking dogs on walks and caring for them in their homes. I currently don't have a pet of my own so it's always nice to hang out with other people's pets! I will be a student at Iowa State University this fall. I want to be able to get out and hang with your pet or take them for a walk! It'll be the perfect break from studying and any stress. My schedule at ISU is pretty flexible for anyone's pet needing care in the early morning, evening, or nighttime! I take extra precaution when I meet new pets to try and figure out and understand their nature and what's normal for them. I always ensure that every instruction from the owner is noted and followed. I love to form connections to new pets and watch them get comfortable around me or even become more and more excited to see me! I will only be able to visit the client's home as my apartment does not allow pets.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and patient pet sitter with experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities..from super social and playful to more independent or shy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with: • Feeding routines and fresh water care • Litter box cleaning and maintenance • Playtime and enrichment • Giving space to more reserved or anxious cats • Monitoring behavior and overall well-being I’m very detail-oriented and will make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is doing well. I do work full-time as an accountant, but my schedule is very flexible in how I structure my days around watching and caring your animals and their needs! I have a fenced in backyard where my dogs can play and relax without the worry of a leash or harness, and they have free roam of my home
“Rachael is a gem!! Bobbie Sue adores her, and it is great to be able to trust someone with my pet. She spends extra time with Bobbie Sue and really appreciates her job🌞❤️. Always love the photos she takes 🌞❤️”
About: I genuinely care about the well being of every dog in my care. I will treat every dog as if it was my own, which means lots of treats(if allowed) and lots of pets, belly scratches and cuddles(if tolerated). I am currently working part-time and healing. Unfortunately financially I need more income so I thought “why not try Rover and spend some time with dogs(which I love doing!)”. So ultimately I will make this fit into my schedule where I can. I’m pretty flexible currently. Give me a chance and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I ask clients to leave detailed instructions. I want to make sure that while you are gone your dogs/cats routine stays as close to normal as possible! If that means your dog goes to paws n pints for a play date on Wednesday @2 then I’ll load up lassie in the car and get there! If your cat gets 3 treats at 3pm everyday then we will make it happen! All joking aside, I aim to please!
“Carly was amazing with my boy Murphy! She was very diligent to ensure my requests for Murphy were upheld. She would message me and see whether I wanted Murphy left out or kenneled. She was constantly giving updates and for that I am thankful. I would recommend Carly to anyone seeking someone to care for their dog!”
“Did such a good job with our 3 year old dog and our 3 month old puppy! Have a very detailed report (and many pictures!) at the end of the walk and got the pups all settled in with a few treats at the end. He went above and beyond!”
“Molly has been providing us with walks and doggie day care for a number of weeks. She is always reliable, professional, and puntual! We're very glad to have her help giving our dog Ezio the exercise, care, and company he deserves while my spouse and I both work full-time at an office. She clearly knows what she's doing when taking care of pets.”
About: I have a moody and sometimes difficult cat. I have several families whom I have regularly provide cat care. I am well experienced in litter box maintenance, feeding and watering, and playtime if their cat-itude allows for it. :) I have a love for both dogs and cats. I hope to eventually own a corgi or miniature dachshund once I finish college. I am a college student home for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I will make it my priority to closely follow all care instructions. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.
“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: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My wife and I have been married for nearly 40 years, and throughout that time we've shared our home with three wonderful dogs—a Keeshond who lived to 15, a Border Terrier who also lived to 15, and our current French Bulldog, Bella, who is 8 years old. Bella has IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), so I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, following care routines, and recognizing when a dog needs a little extra attention. Caring for her has given me firsthand experience with dogs that have special health needs and reinforced the value of consistency and compassion. After retiring early from a successful career in information technology leadership, I'm excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy—helping dogs stay happy, healthy, and active while giving their owners peace of mind. Whether your dog needs a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or simply a dependable companion while you're at work, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own. I'm dependable, punctual, cheerful, and an excellent communicator. I'm also very comfortable with technology, so I'm happy to send photo updates and messages during our walks so you can see how your pup is doing. I know how much our dogs mean to us—they're family. My goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and something your dog looks forward to while giving you complete confidence they're in caring, capable hands. Since I'm retired, I have the flexibility to dedicate my weekdays to caring for dogs. I'm available throughout the day until 6:00 p.m. for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want their dogs to get exercise and attention while they're at work. I schedule plenty of time for each visit, so your dog will never feel rushed. Whether your pup enjoys a brisk walk, a leisurely stroll, or simply some one-on-one playtime and affection, I'll tailor each visit to their personality and energy level. Being reliable and punctual is important to me. I'll arrive on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care and respect that I would want for my own dog and home. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, playtime, and any special routines or restrictions your dog may have. Having cared for our own French Bulldog with IVDD, I understand the importance of paying close attention to a dog's individual needs and comfort level. I'll always make sure your pet has fresh water, receives plenty of attention and affection, and gets the exercise that's appropriate for them. I'll also treat your home with care by locking doors, respecting your property, and leaving everything just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I'll send updates and photos during each visit to let you know how your dog is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in caring, dependable hands while you're away.
About: Feeding, watering, and exercising your four-legged family members is the easy part. My priority is making sure your furry friends feel loved and special while you’re not able to be there. I know the stress and worry of having to be away and hoping your pet is being well-cared for. I am there to ease your mind and to make it less stressful for you and your pet. I am an expert cat and dog snuggler and have been known to be a cat whisperer for those felines that don’t warm up easily. Although I am new to this platform, I am not new to taking care of pets. I have been a cat and dog owner for over 30 years. I am also a proud cat/dog auntie for my nieces and nephew’s pets. Over the years I have also watched many friends pets while they travel. For most of last year while traveling for work, I housesat and watched furry loved ones through another platform while traveling for work in the DC area. I have been in healthcare for more than two decades, but I am currently on a break to work on some new projects. That work happens in my home office and I am my own boss. So my schedule is open and flexible. I am also comfortable taking care of special medical issues your pet may have.

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.
“Lexi did great with Dove and gave us updates as she checked on our dog for a couple walks while we were out of town. It was an incredibly hot day and she took care of her to make sure she got outside but didn’t overheat.”

“I needed someone to walk Nola on short notice, so I immediately thought of KY. She has watched and walked Nola in the past, she is always concerned with her safety and well being when ever she takes care of her. Nola really likes spending time with KY, I feel like she can sense how much KY genuinely cares for animals especially dogs.”

“Another great stay for our pup with Holly! We are so grateful to Holly for accommodating a last minute stay that our dog clearly loved. Excellent communication and care.”
“Cynthia was so easy to work with and was flexible to do a last minute booking. They were so sweet and have a great environment for out. My pup left happy, we will definitely be back!”
“My doodles had such a great time with Meagan in her home! She has a gorgeous spacious backyard for them to run and play in, which they LOVE. My boys always sleep great the night I pick them up, so I know they wore themselves out having fun! I’ll definitely keep using Meagan as a sitter when I’m out of town 🙂”
“Shaelea is great to work with. She has watched my dog twice now. She is very friendly and a great communicator. She accepted my fairly last-minute request, which was so helpful. I highly recommend her to others.”
“Kimberlee is wonderful! Our pup is a repeat customer of hers, and he didn’t even look back when we dropped him off. His tail was wagging the whole time! She sends lots of photos, and it’s clear your dog is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely be bringing our pup back!”
“I think my dog (female) likes Osvaldo more than me know! He took good care of her for 2 1/2 days while I had to be out-of-state. My Tequila behaved herself even around his family.”
“Cory has been a fantastic companion dog sitter for us time and time again! He does well with Skip's anxiety and give him great attention and exercise to keep him comfortable when we travel!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”
“Jessica was great with our dog Louie, loved the pics and vids during his stay. Booking and communication was easy and efficient. Highly Recommended, and many Thanks!”
“Katie was so amazing with my dogs! I have a 3 year old rescue who can be overly sensitive at times as well as a 5 month old Belgian Malinois puppy who is the complete opposite. This was my first time using Rover, and also having such a great job, sending updated pictures of them, and making sure I was informed and comfortable the entire time. My pups had such a blast!!! We will DEFINITELY use her again!”
“We loved having Lucia watch George! We can tell he was well care for by the way he came home and plopped down like we just got a nice big walk. He relaxed and content. Thank you thank you! We highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth is an amazing communicator and true lover of dogs. We feel so taken care of when we leave our pup with her and her family! Our dog is so excited to stay with her, and comes home happy and tuckered out. We can't recommend Elizabeth enough!”
“Rebekah was awesome! This was our first time using a dog sitter so we were a little nervous. We had a visit with her dogs and after a little while, we were comfortable they would get along ok. Rebekah was very flexible and responsive and sent us pictures every day. She truly took care of our dog and loved her like her own. She had so much fun, which helped us to relax and not worry while we were away. It was a great experience and we will definitely use Rebekah in the future and recommend her to anyone.”
“Alexandra made me feel very comfortable leaving Homie with her for a week. Her house is perfectly set up for dogs and she has a massive backyard. She washed Homie’s bedding before we picked him up and his food bowls too. She provided photos every day and really kept us reassured that he was well taken care of.”
“Kari is quick to respond to messages and was easy to work with. She was super about last minute time changes. She sent pictures and kept me updated on how my girl was doing. All in all a good experience and Freddie gives her a paws up!”
“Rachael was amazing. She responded back quickly and got a meet & greet done with. She listened to instructions and seems passionate about canine care! Definitely recommend and will continue to hire her!”
“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!”
