“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla! She responds quickly and is so easy to work with.

Best of all, my dog loved her!! Thanks Kayla!”

“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment.

Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”

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

“Paul is the person you want to care for your home and your pets while you are away! His communication was excellent, he sent frequent photos of our cat, and he took great care of everything household, even completing an unexpected household maintenance task. We returned to a pristinely clean home with everything organized so nicely for our home. I had confidence he would care lovingly for our cat from when they first met. Paul gave the immediate impression that he loves animals and has an innate sense for their needs. Thank you, Paul, for giving us a worry-free time away from home.”
About: I grew up with animals and as an adult i have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have also enjoyed caring for friends and family pets when needed. I have volunteered at the ARL and received some training. I have an open schedule with lots of flexibility that allows for plenty of time to take care of or hang out with my furrbabies. I prefer to keep dogs leashed when a fence is not available. My cat stays indoors. I treat my pets as my children. For outdoor cats, it depends on the owner. I have seen GPS used to keep track of their location outside.
“Angie did a great job taking care of our cat. She arrived at the times I suggested, was very responsible in providing updates after every visit, communication was fantastic! Thank you!”
“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!”
About: Not Just a Pet Sitter — A True Animal Caregiver I’ve been around animals my entire life.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Goddard
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I am a homeschool mom. I have had several dogs over the last 26 years from blue heelers, labradors, a lab/dane mix and most recently an Australian Shepherd. I've house-broken and crate trained all my puppies and we also adopted an adult rescue dog and acclimated him to family life. I've taken different obedience courses over the years and most recently am working on Rally Obedience with my aussie. My family, which includes my husband and two teenage daughters love dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve got a very large fenced in back yard, a fun loving Aussie, and am home most of the time to give your fur baby lots of love and attention. I have recent experience in dog obedience and have house-trained puppies. I love to walk dogs and give them lots of attention. Because I homeschool, most days I am home and able to attend to dog or puppy care. Our two year old Aussie loves to play with other dogs and has earned his CGC-A. Backyard play or leash walking would be part of your pets care. On occasion we may go to a park and our dog often accompanies us. I have a large fenced in yard with lots of shade and green space to run around in. I have crates of various sizes to keep your dog safe and comfortable at night, when we leave for an errand or to retreat to as needed.
“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!”
About: NOTE: I work weekdays throughout the school year. Still available, 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 3 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. I currently have two dogs of my own. They can play all together or be kept separated! I also have experience giving dogs meds as some of the dogs in my care have different long term conditions. 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 dogs to 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 my dogs on furniture, but can follow owner house rules.

“This was just about as easy as it gets. Dropped Kayce off with a good conversation before I left. Picked him up with another good conversation about how he did and headed home. Normally when I pick him up from doggy daycare he just goes to sleep. He seemed relaxed and not completely worn out. It was great!”
“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!”
“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”
“Cynthia did a fantastic job of taking care of our dog. She sent updates and even video of our dog playing outside and looking very happy. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you for taking such good care of Golde!”
About: I love animals! I was the go to neighborhood pet sitter as a kid, and have enjoyed so many dogs and cats over the years. I'm a stay at home mom to older children.

I will follow your specific care and/or exercise instructions to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and well loved while you are away.
“My first time using rover and Samantha was so great to work with. Easy to communicate with and my pup had the best day with her! He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing in her big back yard. Will absolutely use Samantha again!!”
About: I have had pets in my life since the day I was born. I got my first cat when I was 3 and have had many more since then. :) Caring for my pets has become something that I have worked on and improved over the years - and I love meeting new pets! I own my own business that is run from my home and a downtown location - just three blocks from my home. :) My husband runs our household and is home or helping me daily. We have a fenced in yard that is big enough for the dogs to run laps - and three other dogs who adapt well to having friends over. :)
About: I grew up in a home with pets and enjoy being able to include them in our home and give them love and attention while their owners are away. I work from home and am able to care for your pet weekdays except for Fridays and occasionally over the weekend schedule depending. I have a fenced in yard and my family and I love to play fetch with dogs or tug of war and we usually walk around the neighborhood several times throughout the day to enjoy nature and get our limbs moving and love to have a dog on our walk with us as we stroll the neighborhood. I have a fenced yard and a very flexible schedule to allow for lots of attention and play time. I also have several pet loving children who are gentle and enjoy loving on pets.
“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!”
“Samantha is so great to work with! She follows directions perfectly and takes excellent care of all the (3) dogs we’ve had her sit for (doggie day care). She communicates effectively and timely and we never have to worry.”
“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 always been fascinated by canine behavior and have tried to learn all I can about training methods of all kinds. I loved to walk with my dog and train her to do tricks and how to behave around the house. Although she was about 65 pounds, I taught her how to act gently around my 3-year-old nephew. Sadly, she passed away a few months ago. I want to continue to share the knowledge and techniques I've learned while exploring the great outdoors with furry friends of all sorts. Beyond my own dog, I have some experience with dogs of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I have also done grooming like combing, bathing, tooth brushing, and nail clipping. The bottom line is that I am happy to do whatever care your companion needs. :)
“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!!!”
About: Not only have I had my own animals most of my life but for 3 or 4 years I was also a foster home for the breed Weimaraner. Animals are like my kids and so will be your animals. Would prefer to discuss with each animal owner what is needed as I work full time but I am flexible so would like to be contacted. I am very protective and treat all animals as my own whether they are in my house or there own. If I’m my home or there own I would follow there owners instructions on what is required.

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by Dogs. From taking care of my own and my Grandmother's furry companions, I love being with Dogs of all sizes and energy levels.

I am able to give medication to your furry friends, if they need it. I am available days and nights throughout the summer. I am also flexible to provide daily potty breaks for your dogs. I am able to stay overnight to keep your best friends safe! I'm used to having dogs in my bed, so they will always have someone to sleep with at night. If you have any questions please reach out. I would like to be given instructions on how the owners usually care for their pets. I don't want to disturb their feeding schedules. I also like to know how their pets like to play and what they're personality is like.

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."
About: As a dog mama myself, I understand that our dogs are more than just our pets. They’re an integral part of our family! I strive to provide them with the necessary care they need, but also the enrichment they need to thrive and live a happy life. I love to play with them, take them out for walks, and provide them with love and pets. It’s important to me that they are not just physically cared for, but they are mentally stimulated through play and emotionally cared for at every visit. I'm always mindful that all pets should be greeted with a slow introduction, that does not come off as intrusive, or threatening. Even the most social pets, can behave differently when an unfamiliar person enters their home while family is not present. I always take that into consideration upon each visit, as I get to know your dog/cat, and build a trusting relationship. Whether your pet goes out on a leash, uses a fenced in yard, or requires potty pads to go to the bathroom, I'll follow your instructions as discussed through the Rover app, or during our initial "meet and greet". Requested information about your pet -Medication schedule -Behavioral issues that may affect walking your pet on public sidewalks, history of biting or aggression while being fed. -Ongoing medical conditions -Vet number and/or emergency contact I currently work on a hybrid schedule - 3 days in West Des Moines and 2 days at home in Ankeny. I have a flexible schedule where I can pop around to your pet when needed. I have a heart for animals along with the patience needed to give quality pet care. Your pet will always come first and I would treat them as if they are my own.
About: I have degrees in Animal Science and Animal Nutrition, as well as several years of experience caring for animals of all kinds in home, medical, and educational settings. I worked for a few years as a veterinary assistant during college so I am comfortable working with animals with medical needs. I previously worked for Hill's Pet Nutrition caring for 100-200 dogs in their canine facility every day, making sure they live their best life! I helped care for our 2 family dogs growing up, I currently have my own cat named Winifred, and I also have experience as a volunteer pet sitter while I was in college. There is no dog too big or too small, I love them all! And I would love to help you care for your furry family member. I work fully remote, so I can easily bring my work with me and spend most of my time with your pets. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm able to adjust as needed. As long as I know the important people, places, and things in and around your home, I can navigate taking care of your pets in their own space providing a routine that its similar to what they're used to while you're away!
About: I've had pets all my life and would love to care for yours too, on a temporary basis. I love to vacation and often struggle with finding a solution for my babies while I'm gone. For me my favorite choice is to have someone I know and trust stay in my home but there's hardly ever anyone available for that kind of commitment! I thought it would be awesome to be able to provide that kind of care for someone else: house/pet sitting, drop-in, or just walks/exercise. I want you to know your pets are loved and treated with gentle kindness. I recognize that I'm kind of a stranger to your babies and I'll treat them like my own and earn their trust! They'll be loved and cared for in a way that will make your absence less stressful for them and as much like their normal days as it can be while you're away. I take my responsibilities to others extremely seriously and won't be satisfied unless you are! I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability on weekdays and weekends both. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are fine by mutual agreement. I enjoy taking find for walks or just playing outside in the yard. On days where weather is bad, I'm happy to get the dogs outside to do their business and then play a bit indoors!
About: Hi there! If you’re looking for someone with experience and love for your special doggos, you have come to the right place. I have dreamt about rescuing/taking care of animals my whole life. Just two years ago, me and my boyfriend rescued our first dog (Huxley) and in January 2022 we rescued our second dog (Ryder). That is the best decision we have ever made, I can’t imagine live without them. We always make sure they have the best toys, treats, walks daily, training, and all the love they deserve from us! I also grew up in a family with dogs and they are family to me also. I would bathe, feed, walk, play fetch, and care for them in addition to my dogs I have now. I will do anything to make sure your pup/pet is safe, comfortable, and having fun. I’m currently working full time but work at nights while studying to go to law school next year. My boyfriend works from home for Wells Fargo and we live together so it works out perfectly! I watch our dogs in the morning and when I leave for work my boyfriend will watch our dogs at night. We have a pretty flexible routine and that’s why we are passionate to help others with their pets be in the most safe, comfortable, and fun place. We care for our pets in various ways. We have a fenced in yard for our dogs to enjoy, but we also take them on 1-2 walks a day or take them to different locations to check out new places! We used to crate them when they were puppies but now they are older, they are house trained and are able to free roam. Same goes for your precious pup, we can take them for walks, play fetch, provide enrichment activities with frozen peanut butter/a ball that we put our dogs kibble in that they have to roll around to get the food out. If they need crated, or anything we can do to make you feel comfortable along with your special pup, we can do that. If they are more relax around the house dog, we can hang out with them and watch some movies. If they enjoy playing with other dogs, we have two dogs of our own that get along with any animal. They know how to play gentle and will play at whatever speed the other dog prefers. We can provide anything you as the client and dog needs from us, and promise to always keep them safe.
About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!!

I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking
About: I have had dogs my entire life. That’s a long time! I assure you your dog would be in good hands! I will love them like they were mine! I stay home now so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m willing to go to your home if it’s not to far away. Just ask I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs. One has a crate and one doesn’t. They both sleep where they want. I crate one only sometimes.
About: I've had cats my entire life, and my husband and I currently have two amazing but SUPER high energy little kitties named Eli and Finn. We are very obsessed, and they're spoiled! I have grown up in a very close, tight-knit family with LOTS of dogs and cats, and I've pet-sat more times than I can count. I LOVE animals and they tend to like me as well. I have experience with feeding, medicine, walking, vet visits, picking up animals from pet hotels, etc. I pet sit, house sit, and babysit for a lot of my family and friends, have been a nanny to my godson who has medical complications, and am well-trusted. My husband and I are going through fertility treatments, and the profit from my pet-sitting business will be supporting us in building our family! We would deeply appreciate your support while your pets receive great care in exchange! I'm in ministry school to become a hospital/hospice chaplain, a worship leader, and an entrepreneur, so my schedule is very flexible! I look forward to meeting your schedule needs. I am not able to keep pets at my home. I am able to go to the house site and take care of your fur babies, however, and spend time at your place to give your darlings some affection, give medicine, or whatever else you need done!
About: I have years of experience working at an animal hospital, so i know how important specialized care can be! I’m very familiar with special feeding instructions as well as medicine application and administration. I’m very open to being both flexible and rigid with scheduling depending on the needs of the animal and owner. Im always available and open to questions, concerns and comments by the owner and always happy to provide pictures and updates throughout the pets’ stay or walk. Whether it’s an active lifestyle your pet needs or just some cuddling time on the couch, I am able and very happy to provide. I am very excited to get to know and bond with you pet while showing them the love, exercise, and care that they deserve! I’m currently working on a part-time flexible basis as a receptionist, allowing me to easily fit in the time that your pet needs and deserves! I have two wonderful dogs, who aren’t currently in residence. When they are, they are allowed on furniture and enjoy walks and belly rubs. I’m happy to listen to your concerns and make plans to ease any worries you have!
About: I had dog when I was only 5 years old and always been taking care of dogs since I was growing up and now have my own baby, Porky and everyone always relies on me to watch their dogs and caring fir them while they are gone. I really love animals and dogs big time. I always let them outside whenever they feel like it and play roam around in backyard with fence :) I would go on dog walking and they give me excuses to work out too lol. They are my world. I would treat ur dogs as if they were my own. I am working a full time student at college but very flexible with hours. I can do after work for dog walking and even babysitting them too. My husband, he will definitely help me out if I need to when I m at school etc. Can always talk about needs and when etc. I do have a big backyard with fenced around. I have two dogs they will love to play with others. I would like to introduce them to your first before start let them play. I can always separate them if need to so they can take turns. I can give them bath, feed, take them out for walk, and even stay overnight if need. I would let you bring ur own dog foods for ur pets so that way it Is separate. I will always give them treats if being good. All you have to do is let me know what not to do or to do for them so I can be prepared.

“Robbie and her family were amazing with Tripper! They took excellent care of him while we were away and he was so comfortable with them. We are looking forward to more playdates and sleepovers with Buttercup 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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla! She responds quickly and is so easy to work with. She watched my dog in her home and made leaving my pup so easy and I came home to a calm, stress-free dog. She kept in touch and sent pictures to reassure me they were doing great. Best of all, my dog loved her!! Thanks Kayla!”
“Great sitter. It was a GR party of 3! My dog was worn out, happy and well taken care of. Daily updates with a picture was sent. Thx for your care! Would recommend and use Kayla again.”
“Colonel had another stay with Kimberlee and Mitchell. As soon as we arrived, Colonel could not wait to start playing with their dog. Kimberly sent me updates each day which gave me peace of mind that everything was going well. We will be using them again and we highly recommend!”
“Jolene is so wonderful and patient with our rescue Kara who is quite timid and anxious. Thank you so much for making accommodations for her unique situation each time we have to go away.”
“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!”
“Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!”
“She is amazing! Got pictures and videos while on vacation. She actually cares about animals. Will definitely use her again and highly highly highly recommend using her!!!”
“Savannah was amazing! She went above and beyond for our dog. She provided pictures and videos during our vacation, and let us know how everything was going. You can truly tell how much she and her husband care. Our dog was sad to leave her and her dogs behind.. shows how much love he received! Highly reccommed!!”
“Excellent daily updates with photos and notes that kept me informed on Mayor. Amazing communication prior to drop off and all the way to pick up. My dog was well taken care of and got plenty of attention during her week long stay. I highly recommend trusting them with taking care of your pet and keeping them happy.”
“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!”
“Cory took such great care of Bruce! He sent pictures and responded to messages quickly, and Bruce came home happy and exhausted. We are so appreciative of the great care Bruce received with Cory and will definitely come back!!”
