“Kim was very loving of our Ruby! She sent us pictures and let us know how things were going while we were away. Ruby had a great vacation playing on Kim’s farm and being loved on by her family. We very much appreciated that we didn’t need to worry about Ruby while we were gone! Will use Kim again and again, every time.”
“Kayla takes great care of our dog, Bonnie! She does well with our anxious pup and we can tell Bonnie was happy while we were gone. Kayla gives daily check ins and is very responsive. We will definitely ask her to care for our dog again!”
“Wow. I will be back. Cassandra did a great job with my dog who is very distrusting of new people. She won her over and she did made her feel right at home.”
“Highly recommend! Our dog had a blast and Elizabeth gave us frequent updates on how he was doing. Very friendly and had a lot of the dog gear such as crate, toys, etc”
“Jenevieve and her family were absolutely wonderful! They took our shy Buddy and made him feel at home. They sent pictures and responded to all my questions. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Once again Debora provided wonderful care for Cindy (my cat). Debora understands the mind of a cat and lets Cindy be at home in her home. Cindy is so comfortable with Debora that when it came time to leave Cindy did not protest being in the carrier as long as Debora sat next to her. Very nice!”
“We were traveling out of state and needed someone to trust Forest with for the weekend. Wonderful people who took great care of Forest! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Rover.”
“Hazels second visit here and she came home a happy pup just like the first time. Alyce and her family take great care of her thanks so much Alyce (special thanks to Granddaughter ❤️”
“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was kind, responsive and great to work with. We knew it would be tricky to get him to eat and she gave extra attention to make sure he did. We are so grateful!”
“Absolutely one of the best experiences of having a dog sitter ever. Plenty of updates throughout his stay. She was so nice that I'm not sure he really wanted to come home.”
“Alexandra was awesome! I’m a paranoid helicopter mom who had never left my dogs with anyone but friends and family before, but I felt completely at ease leaving them with Alexandra! She let me bring my dogs over for a meet and greet before their stay to make sure everyone got along and her pup is super sweet. Her huge yard is absolutely amazing for my high energy dogs. Her knowledge of dog behavior and separating for dinner time made me feel very safe that my girls were in good hands. I’ll be using her services again!”
“Lisa was a wonderful host to our two senior dogs. This was our first time using Rover and the dogs had a rough start adjusting (had multiple accidents in the home). Lisa was patient and was solution focused. She tried different methods to decrease their anxiety and provided us frequent updates on how they are doing. They definitely adapted with her help! One of our dogs is diabetic and Lisa helped us administer his medication injection as well.”
“Lara and Cary are wonderful people and we feel totally comfortable leaving our 13 year old German Shepherd in their care. Our dog likes staying with them and is calm and does very well when she stays in their lovely home. Highly recommend Lara and Cary.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Ivana did a fabulous job, truly going above and beyond our expectations! We felt that she treated our dog like family, exactly as we would treat her. We got daily updates/videos and in every one, our dog looked like she was having the most amazing time! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Morgan took amazing care of our senior dog Riley! He was so comfortable with her and she did amazing sharing pictures with us while we were away. Definitely recommend her!”

“I had to find a cat sitter last minute for the weekend and came across Lisa’s rover listing and she took Eevee in without any hesitation! She made sure to keep me posted all weekend about how Eevees stay was going with daily messages and pictures. It was so comforting to know how safe, comfortable and happy my little girl. I will 100% be on the repeat client list. Could not have been a better experience for me or Eevee! 10 out of 5 stars!!”

About: I am a registered veterinary technician, working in the veterinary field for more than 10 years! I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and have a strong background with pets who have mobility concerns. I will ensure your pets will be safe, happy, and well taken care of! From potty breaks, to walks, to multiple daily visits, to overnight stays! In addition, I’m comfortable with pets who require medication or injections. Feel free to call or text me for your pets needs! I have the capability of doing mid-day visits over my lunch breaks, along with visits before and after work! My weekends are free and I work 3 1/2 days during the week. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. 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.
“Monica took great care in watching our cat. We greatly appreciate the candid photos and notes detailing her visits with him. He is typically a very shy and standoff with other people. We were happy to see him starting to open up more with her. Definitely will book her to watch him again.”
“Vivian took really good care of my boys for a week, making sure that they got their medication and play time. She even scooped their litter extra times to make sure it stayed clean. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave my cats!”
“Christina was amazing with our very cautious rescue kitty! Our kitty, who usually hides far away, was letting Christina pet her and feed her. Christina sent updates and photos and was very responsive. We will definitely book Christina again!”
“Kassy did a great job looking after our cats. She was very professional and attentive. There was always clear communication and never a doubt that she would do a good job. Would definitely recommend to others.”
“This was my first time using Morgan and I would definitely use her again! I had a last-minute request and she was prompt and had great communication. She made time for a meet and greet and I trusted her with the care of my babies! She sent me pictures and notes while I was gone. Thank you, Morgan!”
“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.”
“Rachel was great with our cats while we were away. She was able to give out medicine with no problems. She even had our shy cats coming out to check her out while we were gone.”

“Thank you for watching my princess while I was on my vacation. Because she is shy around strangers, it was such a relief to see her trust you and become more comfortable with you each day”
“Jenevieve helped us during a trip and she was always on time and very responsible with the care of our pets. She sent us photos every visit and gave us daily updates. Will use her services again for sure.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are so happy we did. Jaron did a great job- was reliable, and gave our older cat a lot of attention. We will not hesitate to use him again!”
“Kelsey visited my two kitties while I was away one weekend. She followed all the instructions and communicated really well with me before and during her visits. Loui and Lola seemed to warm up to her quickly. Reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely book Kelsey again!”
“LOVE all the care Ash has with my cat, Gucci. I’m traveling for a month and Ash has been very communicative, helpful and supportive all the time. She answers me in a timely manner, send pictures and makes me feel safe with my choice of choosing her to take care of my cat. Best choice ever.”

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.
“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!”
“Osvaldo took excellent care of my Apollo even on a very short notice. I will definitely use him again!! Sent me plenty of pics and videos and updated me during the day. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dog!!!”
“Scott was incredibly friendly and easy to book with. They took such great care of our husky Bolt and sent plenty of cute pictures and updates on our boy. They easily accommodated our schedule and had the cutest little pug that our husky loved. Bolt enjoyed his time and got to play and make friends with some adorable dogs, he even got a yummy treat to take home with him at the end. If you are in need of a an excellent sitter who clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them, then we can’t recommend Scott enough! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Cory was wonderful with Briar, took her on long walks, belly rubs and ball playing and a few treats. All the things she loves. I especially thankful that Cory was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. While I was away each day, I felt comfortable that Briar was having a good day.”
About: I have been a pet parent for over 15 years. I currently have a 4 year old German shorthair pointer named Draco and a 11 year old cat named Rubeus. Draco is a big goofy lover. Very good with other dogs. We recently lost our older dog and Draco is missing having a buddy to run around with. I am a stay at home mom so I am home most of the day. We are very active with playing in the yard and going for walks. I have a huge fenced in yard and live walking distance to a couple parks. Dogs are free to roam my home and be on furniture. Can kennel overnight if preferred.
“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.”
“Jen was amazing!! She accepted our last minute request and was super flexible! She took great care of our senior pup with special needs. He had a great time and was happy and worn out at pick up!!”

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!”

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: 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: I’ve cared for pets regularly through graduate school and grew up with animals around my entire life. I’m a current cat owner and regularly care for friends dogs during the day and on weekends. Flexible availability this summer. Currently spending my summer studying so happy to watch your pets and study from your home. I can fit in daily walks and feedings quite easily. Happy to follow your instructions for safe and dependable pet care. I’ve watched pets with backyard access, regular leashed walking, and mobility issues. Glad to meet your pets needs.
“This was our first time using Rover and Monica made the process so easy. She sent us notes and lots of pictures at every visit. She took cues from our dog on how far she could walk at each visit depending on the weather and then spent time cuddling our Boston Terrier too (which is just as important for our dog as exercise). We were out of town and never had to worry if things were going well! Our family highly recommends Monica for your pet walking/sitting needs!!”
About: Born and raised a dog lover! I’ve have 5 dogs throughout my life that I have loved so dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of my friend’s dogs in HS and college. I love to go on walks, so why not bring your pup with me! I unfortunately do not have my own dog at this time with my significant other, but I hope to get one soon! I am a teacher who is taking a small step back in education to focus on my health. I know your dogs will help me A LOT during this transition, and they will be under great care. I currently live in an apartment in Des Moines, so I am also available for drop-ins to ensure your pup is comfortable at home! I am willing to travel to different to parts of the metro to help you and your pup!
“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.”

“I would have to say I was skeptical at first of this website, but Osvaldo and his family definitely made this experience incredible! Not only did he and his family send pictures constantly but they replaced a toy that was accidentally torn while at their home. It was perfectly fine but because they were good honest people they replaced it. Our boy had such a good time. There’s pictures to prove it! I’m so happy we left him with such a good family even if it was for just one day! Thank you so much for keeping our mind at ease!”

I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”

“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!”
“Our little Franklin LOVES Miss Cindy! We know he is always in good hands with her. We love her too and she is now our go-to Rover for Franklin. I wouldn’t want to use anyone else!”
