Alice is a Frenchie whisperer! Seriously, if you have French Bulldogs, stop your search and book her NOW. She swooped in last-minute and saved the day, taking amazing care of our two boys for 5 nights!! They were absolutely spoiled (which we fully endorse!) and had a blast playing with her adorable Frenchie. It's like they went on a little Frenchie vacation! Alice is incredibly sweet and we could tell our pups adored her. We'll be booking her again!

Butter had a great time playing with Ashly’s dog and definitely needed a bath from all the fun after we picked her up! Would definitely use Ashly’s services again. Thank you so much!

We have an incredibly shy dog. He is very leery of people and we have tended to not board him. Osvaldo and his family were AMAZING with our dog. They were petting him, he was sleeping at their feet, and they were taking him for walks in the park--something he never does well. We loved all the updates, his home was set up for taking care of dogs, and he had other dogs to play with while we were gone--something he loves. I think Osvaldo is a dog whisperer. Magic--sheer magic! Even our dog trainer couldn't get these results from him. We are forever indebted and will use him again!

As Buster is an emotional support animal for my foster so , this was a HUGE deal for us. Ten out of five stars!!

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 grew up on a farm, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! I've had many dogs over the years, from young to old and big to small. I am experienced with giving medication, baths, nail trims and love! I am very adaptable to your pets needs. I am recently graduated from college, and will be beginning a job soon. When I have a pet boarding with me, I will drive back to my apartment during lunch breaks to take care of your pup! I am able to host pets in my apartment! My wife and I live in an upstairs 1-bedroom apartment, and at least one of us is around most hours of the day. She is a past rover sitter who pulled out of active sitting to focus on school, but is still happy to have pets around! I am still the one explicitly responsible for your pets schedule, business bookings, and care. I have a 360°camera installed to watch your pet if I have to spend any time away! My apartment complex has a spacious lawn that is entirely fenced in. In my clients home, I am extra careful to follow any house rules. In case of overnight caretaking, I am comfortable with any sleeping arrangements (couch etc.). My top priorities are your pup and your preferences!

Kimberley was a PERFECT choice for us! Such a sweet person and she kept him 8.5 hours for his first visit which is a long time to have a 4 month old puppy! She sent several photos and videos which was so reassuring.

I can’t thank Meagan enough for taking care of my Joey today. It was me and my fur babies first dog sitting experience with Rover. Meagan made him feel welcome the minute we walked in the door, reached out and provided updates with pictures during the day, along with helping Joey socialize with dogs in her home. I look forward to rebooking with her the future. thank you so much! Kathy

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. These days, my family includes my partner, four kids, and what we lovingly call our “mini zoo”: dogs, cats, a bunny, ball pythons, a bearded dragon, mourning geckos, and multiple aquariums full of fish, shrimp, snails, and dwarf crayfish. Caring for such a variety of animals has made me comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to reptiles and aquatic pets. Since joining Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets with all kinds of unique needs. I’ve worked with raw-fed dogs and cats, chickens, senior pets, anxious pets, and plenty of quirky personalities. Along the way I’ve even found myself handling unexpected adventures like moving fallen tree branches after storms, making small home fixes, collecting fresh raspberries from clients’ gardens, and convincing stubborn geese to cooperate. Every home and every pet has its own story, and I love being someone families can depend on. My experience goes beyond pet sitting. In high school I volunteered regularly at a local animal shelter, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I later worked as an assistant dog trainer, where I learned to read canine body language, encourage healthy play, and build trust through calm, confident handling. Whether I’m caring for one pet or an entire household, I believe great pet care is about more than feeding and potty breaks. I pay attention to routines, behavior, enrichment, and the little details that help pets feel safe while you’re away. I also keep an eye on your home, bring in packages, water plants if requested, and communicate with plenty of updates so you can truly relax while you’re gone. For families who enjoy it, my animal-loving family is often part of the fun. My oldest daughter, Bella, enjoys helping give extra attention, playtime, and companionship to many of our pet guests (always under my supervision). If your pets love people, they’ll have no shortage of affection and enrichment while they’re with us. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, respect, and lots of love. 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! 🤣

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!

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!

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.

About: I have walked dogs of all sizes with different health needs. I like to learn your dogs routine and make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I also like to send pictures of the walk if you like. I'm very safety conscious and attentive to surroundings when walking dogs. I really like to become friends with the dogs and get to know their unique personalities. I have an open schedule to work around your pets needs. I can help with last minute needs if you have schedule changes or emergencies. I keep a structure/routine so the dogs/cats know what to expect. I make sure my home is dog proofed and safe for animals. I only board one family's pets at a time so there is no issue with animals not getting along.

About: Hello! My name is Adriana. If you’re anything like me, you want to know exactly who you’re trusting with your furry family members while you’re away. Let me put your mind at ease and show you why your pets will be in great hands. I currently have a 16-year-old Pitbull, Buddy, a 3-year-old Shiba Inu, Nala May, and an 8-year-old cat, Bean. They are my world! I’ve cared for Buddy since he was just one year old—though sometimes it feels like he’s taken care of me. Over the years, he’s given me not only a deep love for animals but also firsthand experience in caring for pets as they age and require extra patience and attention. I’ve had Nala May since she was four months old, and I continue to train and socialize her daily. She keeps me active and always learning. I adopted Bean from a cat café in West Des Moines when she was two, and she’s been my independent, outspoken girl ever since. She’s taught me how important it is to respect each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs a slow, gentle walk, a high-energy run, or simply a warm lap to relax on, I’m happy to provide exactly what they need. My professional experience started at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I worked hands-on in play yards and learned how to read and understand dog behavior. Within a year, I advanced to an Assistant Manager position and became certified in dog and cat CPR. During my time there, I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I learned how to comfort anxious pets, manage high-energy dogs, and provide engaging enrichment activities while safely redirecting behaviors. Currently, I work at a veterinary and rehabilitation clinic Monday, Wednesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a hour break in the afternoon. I am also in school working toward becoming a registered veterinary technician. At the clinic, I’ve gained valuable medical knowledge and hands-on skills, including administering medications, injections, and fluids, assisting with mobility in senior pets, and recognizing early signs of health concerns. Animal care has always been a passion of mine. My goal is to give every pet owner peace of mind, knowing their beloved companion is safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I’m dedicated to meeting those needs with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I want every pet in my care to enjoy their time with me just as much as their owners enjoy their time away. I currently work at a veterinary clinic Monday-Friday 7:00am-6pm with a hour break at 1:00. I have a strong passion for all animals and would love to spend my evenings giving your furry friend the love and attention they deserve! I have personal experience with all dogs energy. I have had hands on experience with puppies and seniors. I do prefer to have dogs harnessed on walks to ensure their safety. I will give your pets my full undivided attention. Through employment I’ve learned how to look for healthy feces, watch movements, and behaviors to ensure they’re also a happy pal.

About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me.

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.

About: Hi, I'm Alison! I have always had a deep and compassionate bond with animals. I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, rodents and fish that really molded me into the animal lover I am today.

I am experienced with administering medication, whether it be insulin shots, inhalers, or pills. Currently, I am the proud Mom to one stubborn old Pitbull and three cats. To me, pets are family. They are deserving of love, respect, kindness, and a fulfilling life. Every client I work with is treated with the same level of attention and care that I would give to my own pets. Currently available for doggie daycare on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available for walks and drop-ins daily. Boarding is available on an as needed basis Having detailed instructions for accessing your home and your pets resources is very helpful. I can best care for your pet when I know exactly where things are and how to access them, as well as how to approach and interact with your pet!

We have an incredibly shy dog. He is very leery of people and we have tended to not board him. Osvaldo and his family were AMAZING with our dog. They were petting him, he was sleeping at their feet, and they were taking him for walks in the park--something he never does well. We loved all the updates, his home was set up for taking care of dogs, and he had other dogs to play with while we were gone--something he loves. I think Osvaldo is a dog whisperer. Magic--sheer magic! Even our dog trainer couldn't get these results from him. We are forever indebted and will use him 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!

Meghan took such amazing care of little Buster! She sent fun photo updates of his walks and small adventures around the house, and she made sure we knew he was settled in immediately so we were stress-free and comfortable during our time away. As Buster is an emotional support animal for my foster so , this was a HUGE deal for us. Ten out of five stars!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Rebekah was absolutely amazing!! She’s conveniently close to downtown DSM where we stayed and she was very nice. She sent me lots of pics and videos of my baby while we were out. Definitely had peace of mind knowing Koe was taken care of. Thank you, Rebekah!

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.
