“I think my Sam had a great time with Cynthia and family…and he was so lucky that Cynthia’s daughter was there with her little dog Reggie, so he had a playmate the whole time he was there (9days). Cynthia watered her plants outside and my Sam loves to be watered also. And with the very hot weather, he enjoyed it. Will be returning!”
“My wife and I left the country for about 10 days and were worried because we have never left our dog with strangers or in a kennel because he is older and adopted. He has a weird routine and glaucoma so he needed a little extra care but they handled him perfectly and he fit right into their routine. Melanie and her family saved us 100%! They constantly sent us pics and updates on him which made us feel better. They took care of him as if he was part of their family and we greatly appreciate it. 10/10!”
“Sarah was so wonderful and caring to our dog. She always made time for walks and spending extra time for our dog to feel comfortable in her home. I would highly recommend her!”
“So nice to know Copper had the comfort of a home and people to love on him while we were away! He has anxiety so having Chris & Erin around almost all the time was so wonderful for him.”
“Our dog had a blast with Tanya's family! She shared great photos and went out of her way to make sure our guy was well cared for during fireworks too. We will definitely use her again!”
“Lisa and Dennis were wonderful with our girls! We booked a last minute trip and we were so lucky to find them! They were super accommodating and sent pictures and updates about the dogs each day, which was great! We would definitely use them again!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Thank God for people like Lucia took excellent care of my boys, cash and Covid! I really like the fact that she sent me pictures almost every day of my cats! I’m a very particular person and I highly highly recommend her. I was called into work and had to travel. She accepted them even though I was super last minute.”
“Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Kevin was incredibly responsive in scheduling a somewhat last-minute booking, shared photos of Monte throughout his stay and provided consistent updates, and treated Monte like his own. Will absolutrly be using Kevin again and would highly recommend him.”
“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”
“I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.”
“Jessica watched Tripper for us during our most recent trip out of town. It was our first time boarding Tripper anywhere, and he had a blast. He met and played with her dog Rip and cat Ghost as well as the other dogs she watched during his 5-day stay. He came home tired and happy. She communicated and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and sent us updates to let us know how Tripper was doing. We would absolutely love to board with her again. We highly recommend her!”
“Jordana was amazing with our girls! While we were away we had peace of mind that the dogs were getting walked, played with and loved on. We got pictures throughout our whole trip of the fun time they were having! I’m happy to have a reliable go to person for them to go to going forward.”
“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Great communication and love for our Cleo! It was our first time leaving her with someone other than family. She stayed days and we received several pictures and text communications each day which really helped with our nerves. Can't reccomend this home for someone else's pup enough😊”
“Ginny was amazing with Tiny!! When I picked Tiny up she wasn’t smelly at all. Sometimes little dogs are stinky at pick up- not today! I loved the whole set up at Ginny’s house. I wasn’t worried one bit. I need to leave town more often so Tiny can go see her new friends.”

“Katherine was great with my cat. She followed my instructions perfectly and there was evidence that Prudence got plenty of attention and playtime. The daily photos were a bonus, since I was thousands of miles away. Would use Katherine again and highly recommend her for her efficiency and compassion.”
“Lisa has a kind heart and my two cats knew that about her immediately. Usually shying from strangers they came to her right away. In addition to feeding, watering, and cleaning up after them she also brushed them, played with them, and gave medication. Her daily photos gave me the peace of mind that they were okay without me and that I could get away.”
“Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!”
“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”
“Iliana is an attentive pet walker and sitter that will take wonderful care of your pet. She'll remember all of your instructions perfectly and demonstrates impeccable flexibility to adapt to circumstances on the fly.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!”
“Molly, Thank you so much for taking great care of my cats. I really appreciated all the picture updates! I could tell they were happy to have you come by. You went above and beyond what they needed and I am so grateful. I love that you talked with Mac and I am sure you could tell he appreciated it too. We will definitely be booking with you in the future!”
“She was great. Gave both cats lots of attention and made sure both were as satisfied as could be. Was attentive with great updates while throughout the stay. Goes above and beyond!!”
“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!”
“Jessica was a lifesaver on short notice. She took great care of our babies and sent photos. We got a super cute letter from the kitties :) It was nice to know they were loved on in our absence!”
About: I love cats. We rescued kittens from our backyard last year so I have a lot of experience with kittens. Ive cat sat for my friends and family when they go out of town. I’ve also taken care of our own elderly cats.
“Talia has been super great with our kitties. Taro and Yuki were so happy to see Talia. I would definitely recommend to have Talia take care of our cats again. She’s really patient and followed everything we wanted. Truly appreciate her help! Great communication.”
“Tanya did a great job pet sitting our two cats while we were away. She was reliable and attentive to their needs (including administering medicine) and great about keeping us informed as well. Will definitely use again!”
“Daniel was a great caretaker for our cats while we were away. He carefully followed all our weird instructions and house oddities and gave the cats lots of love. I would highly recommend him to others seeking reliable, loving care.”
“We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“This was our first time leaving Luna with someone other than family and Tanya made the process absolutely seamless. We appreciated all the photos taken of Luna and all the play time she got with other pups. Will definitely be bringing Luna back!”
“Heather was wonderful! She sent me updates all day and it looked like Bodey had the best time in her big yard with her other dogs. She was very accommodating and was a great help when we needed her last minute. Can’t wait to use her again :)”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been trusted and relied on to take care of and love family and neighbors dogs of all sizes and needs while they have been away for a weekend or on extended vacations I work fully from home so I am always here to care care of and attend to your animals needs and to take a needed walked over lunch. I have a fully fenced in backyard with no dogs on either side of me. Your dog is more than willing to run and play and will get plenty of walks.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Osvaldo, his wife and daughter are an amazing dog family! It was seriously like going to an amusement park for our dog. They did lots of walks/runs, playing, training and sent lots of pictures. We will be going back!! I'm am so thankful to have found them for our pup. They even took the time to work with my special needs son on training our pup. They deserve 10 stars! ?”
“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.”
“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.”
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!
About: I have been a volunteer pet sitter for many years helping friends and neighbors. Dogs sense my spirit and respond in kind. I am a hands-on, loving caregiver and my fur baby Wiggles is a generous host who loves to share. If your baby has special needs, we will accommodate seniors, or puppies that need more frequent potty breaks. Our home is very clean. Wiggles has regular vet care and is healthy and vibrant. I work from my home office. Your baby will not be crated (unless you request it) or left unsupervised. They will receive attention and have a buddy to keep them calm and occupied until you come to pick them up. My sweet Wiggles is a 13.5# Shipoo with a happy, loving disposition. Wiggles is very adaptable and welcomes new visitors to her home with enthusiasm. She is very bright and has helped 2 puppies learn to potty outside with the big kids. She loves meeting new fur buddies. She is an energetic and gentle playmate. We only take one dog (or dog family) at a time so your fur baby(s) will receive our complete attention. We go for walks every 2 hours and have at least one adventure per day to the park or other doggie destination. We make our own food and treats and feed every 4 hours with unlimited low-cal treats. We have and expect good manners, but we also believe doggies should be SPOILED. We look forward to meeting and falling in love with your fur baby.
About: I love dedicating time to pets giving them care, love and fun time. I want to give them the comfort of a warm, attentive and loving presence. I am a stay-at-home student and among other personal activities, I am able to dedicate myself full-time to this service both weekdays and weekends, day and night. I live with my husband and my 14-year-old stepson and we are all pet lovers! Although we may all enjoy the companionship of your pet(s), you can have peace of mind that pet(s) will be cared for 100% by me! I live in an apartment building with lots of comfortable space, safe, with windows screens. There is a dog park in the premises, there are many trails around that we can walk and have fun. Our view is to a beautiful green area where many birds come around to hang out and sing.
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”.

“Cory is matter-of-fact, flexible, and a good energy for our hyper lab mix. We were able to schedule an additional walk during our vacation which we really appreciated. We received updates each time he stopped by. Big fan!”

About: Ive grown up with various types of dogs my whole life, ranging from chihuahuas to Rottweilers. During my senior year I completed a 150 hour internship at animal care clinic west and metro where I handled various breeds of cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. From that I learned many different skills like animal handling and how to notice when a cat or dog is in distress. Not only that but I have volunteered at Furry Friend Refuge and have experience with rescue cats. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for pets with different energy levels and needs.I I recently have been around indoor and outdoor farm cats these past couple of years and have become very comfortable with them and know how to take care of them. Currently my oldest dog who is a Rottie and 11 was born with hip dysplasia, meaning I am able to handle big dog with disabilities. I am currently a college student at the university as a biology major on the pre veterinary tract. I am currently on summer break so my availability is pretty open day to day. I will be baby sitting part time from Tuesday to Thursdays from 8am-4pm. When I am not doing babysitting, I am available all day and after 4pm the days I do babysit. I care for pets in my home by making sure they stay on a consistent routine with feeding, fresh water, exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, especially with older pets or pets with medical needs. Since my oldest Rottweiler has hip dysplasia, I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and monitoring animals carefully. I also make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment.
“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 taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.
“I was able to book Troy on short notice, which was very helpful. He was prompt, friendly, and my dog was instantly comfortable with him. I’d definitely recommend Troy and plan to book him again in the future!”
About: I have had or have been taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. I have experience walking, playing with, feeding, limited training, and giving medication to a wide variety of dogs of all sizes I am a recent college graduate and starting graduate school in the fall. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule to take care of your pet needs. While it is nice outside I live to take pets outside and lay them get their energy out with a good okay whether that be on a walk or in a backyard
About: Dogs and cats are my first priority whenever I'm over at a friend or family member's house. My brother had asthma so we re-homed our dog Sylvie when I was seven years old--I have some very dramatic journal articles from that time! So, whenever I got to be around pets, I gave them as much of my attention as they were interested in. I am now lucky enough to have my own dog (Shannon, the goldendoodle in my profile picture) but can never get enough time with dogs and cats!! Over the summer my schedule is relatively flexible, so if your dog needs a walk or your cat needs to be fed at any time throughout the day, I should be able to make it work! My goal is to maintain your pet's routine as much as possible! I can spend one-on-one time with them, take them out, or just check on them as the situation requires.
About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me. I worked in nursing for several years before leaving to care for my father full time.between that and being a mom giving love and care comes easy. I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and love a bit of play time. I am a big believer in fresh air and exercise. Let's get those steps in for your 4 legged family member. I don't work a regular job, I care for my elderly father and do some side work here and there. So I am available for walking or drop in visits at a moments notice. I have a fenced in yard and food and treats at the ready. Many leashes and brushes and more. I have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with each other and yours too. I can also keep my dogs away if yours isn't socialized to others.
“Loved using these two as our dog walkers! I did not meet them in person, but the interaction between texts and pictures were very prompt, genuine and kept us up to date with the pups. Thank you again and looking forward to using your services again!”
“It’s clear Meghan enjoys dogs - she loves on Winnie as much as I would! I know she’s getting plenty of love and attention when she’s spending time with Meghan.”
“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: I have had dogs since the moment I was born and worked as a vet assistant for almost 3 years during my undergraduate years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs- and temperaments. I can administer medications as well! I currently work full-time but have flexibility to stop by during my lunch break to let pets out, give them fresh water, or go for a quick walk. This means your pet doesn’t have to wait all day until you get home! When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I: Follow your pet’s usual feeding, walk, and medication schedule. Offer potty breaks or walks (including during my lunch break if mid-day care is needed). Spend quality time playing, brushing, or just keeping them company. Make sure the home stays secure by locking doors, bringing in mail, etc. Share updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs, have two of my own, and have also spent time fostering dogs—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs from all kinds of backgrounds, including those who may need a little extra patience, attention, or love. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your dog’s unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime to burn energy, or a calm, comforting environment. My fostering experience has taught me how to read different behaviors, adapt quickly, and help dogs feel safe and at home. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and strive to make their time with me fun, stress-free, and full of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your dog plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to prioritize their needs—whether that’s sticking to a specific routine, getting outside for walks, or just providing companionship so they’re never left alone for long. My flexible schedule also means I can easily adapt to what works best for your pet, helping them feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I’m great at adapting to each dog’s unique personality and energy level. If your pup is high-energy, I’m always happy to go on long walks, runs, or have active play sessions to keep them happy and engaged. If they’re more of a couch potato, I’m just as content slowing things down—whether that means relaxing together, giving plenty of pets, or simply keeping them company. My time as a foster dog mom has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve learned to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s needs, always taking the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. My goal is to meet every dog where they’re at so they feel understood, supported, and truly cared for.
“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!”
About: Hey there! I’m Rachel and I’ve had a family dog for as long as I can remember. But now I have a family of my own- my partner and I have 4 kids and a mini zoo with 1 bunny, 2 ball pythons, 1 bearded dragon, 2 dogs, 4 cats, 6 mourning geckos and 6 aquariums with fish, snails, dwarf crayfish and shrimp. So, I have a lot of experience with a wide range of animals. Since I’ve started pet sitting on Rover I’ve also gained experience with raw feeding cats and dogs, chicken wrangling, mini home repairs, tree moving, raspberry picking and goose whispering. I used to volunteer every day at the local animal shelter while I was in highschool where I got tons of experience with all types of dogs and frequently helped out the neighbors with their escape artist husky! I previously worked as an assistant dog trainer. I’ve gotten tons of experience with how to better read animal’s body language, create and maintained presence control and facilitate healthy play. While most of my experience is with dogs, I am a true animal lover. One of the biggest perks of having me as your sitter is that our whole family helps take part. My 15 year old, Bella, is usually heavily involved in the care of the animals we sit. My other 3 younger kids also absolute love to take care of and play with all the animals. If your pets like to hang out and play with kids, get attention all day long… your pets are in for a treat with us! (For boarding) We truly strive to give dogs a home-away-from-home experience where they just jump right into our routine. Most of the time they end up sleeping in bed with one of our kids, playing with us outside, getting loves on the couch- all the stuff a family dog can expect. We stand proudly in our family beliefs of qualify pet care and don’t want to be a boarding spot where they put your animal in a kennel, let them out twice a day and charge you extra for playtime or potty breaks. We do generally keep our own dogs separated from our rover dogs just for everyone’s safety and ease. For repeat dog clients that we know well & think would play well with our dogs, we do let them play together. We have a neighbor who lets us use their fenced in quarter acre yard so we do a little meet and greet there in neutral territory. (For pet sitting at home): We do come and go more often when we are sitting pets at their own home but we still make it a family affair. We make sure to drop-in frequently to check on them, feed them, let them out and play with them! Bella loves to hang out with our pet clients and play with them. Sometimes I bring a different kiddo to stay the night with me each night so that they all get a chance to give individual attention to the animals we are watching. We also watch over the house and property. At one pet sit, there was a storm that ran through and a massive branch broke into the pet parent’s driveway, front yard, sidewalk and street! After we notified the owners, Bella and I got it moved out of the way of the street and sidewalk so the pet parents didn’t have to worry about it until they got home. We understand that pet sitting is more than just watching the pets at home and we like to provide a holistic approach. My wife, Leigh also cleans and manages houses when she isn’t at home with our kids. She was the manager and trainer at a locally owned high-end home management company for many years. If you want your house cleaned or you have an organizational project you want completed while you’re gone, let me know! Leigh would be happy to chat with you, figure out what you’re wanting accomplished and get it done while you’re gone. She’s got a plethora of clients who continue to be impressed with her work and ask her to come back as proof of a job well done- so it’s not just my (possibly biased) opinion. 😉 WINTER UPDATE : I have carefully curated my locational availability to be where I am comfortable taking care of pets. I do still accept clients outside of that area if we can manage it BUT I do plan to charge an additional $10+ for clients who are outside of our Rover limit to account for extra gas & travel time. Winter adds extra stress with the extra hazards of driving on snowy and icy roads and the extra time of scraping my vehicle off, driving slower, etc. Please keep in mind with any pet sitter (for house sitting or boarding in particular) that you are literally paying them to be working & on-call, driving to and from your home for many hours & compare that to what you expect from an hourly job. 🤍 I try to keep my prices as reasonable as I can while also respecting and protecting myself. I work as a school bus driver primarily so it leaves my summer & most major holidays pretty open! When I am at work my wife is usually home with some or all of the kids, so even when I’m busy- we have the ability to care for pets. I am pretty flexible but my main priority is making sure I am respectful of your space as much as I would want someone to be respectful of mine. Taking photos and communicating heavily with pet parents is top priority for me. If you wish to have less communication, just let me know so I don’t send too many cute pictures of your pets! I know what a big deal it is to leave my pets in the care of someone else and as a result, I take the responsibility very seriously myself. We have a very large unfenced yard. We do not use any pesticides on our yard to protect the environment and animals of all kinds. 🌎🐝🦋 In the warm months, you’ll see lots of native plants, wildflowers and butterflies in our yard as a result. Please note: While we welcome pets of all kinds, we do not allow pet parents into our home. We want to make sure we are protecting the privacy and security of our children and their space. Also: we have 4 kids (see: mini-zoo reference above) it can be a mess up in here sometimes! 🤣

“I think my Sam had a great time with Cynthia and family…and he was so lucky that Cynthia’s daughter was there with her little dog Reggie, so he had a playmate the whole time he was there (9days). Cynthia watered her plants outside and my Sam loves to be watered also. And with the very hot weather, he enjoyed it. Will be returning!”

I’m a very particular person and I highly highly recommend her. I was called into work and had to travel. She accepted them even though I was super last minute.”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.”
“I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.”
“Jessica watched Tripper for us during our most recent trip out of town. It was our first time boarding Tripper anywhere, and he had a blast. He met and played with her dog Rip and cat Ghost as well as the other dogs she watched during his 5-day stay. He came home tired and happy. She communicated and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and sent us updates to let us know how Tripper was doing. We would absolutely love to board with her again. We highly recommend her!”
“Jordana was amazing with our girls! While we were away we had peace of mind that the dogs were getting walked, played with and loved on. We got pictures throughout our whole trip of the fun time they were having! I’m happy to have a reliable go to person for them to go to going forward.”
“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Kylie and her family were phenomenal! My pup felt right at home with her 2 other dogs - who are the sweetest and well behaved. Kylie was so great and sent photos daily to show how happy and just how much she was being loved on!! Would recommend her to all for anyone needing a loving stay-cation for their dog🙂”
