“Meagan and her sweet daughter are spectacular! They took amazing care of our energetic dog, Betty. She sent daily updates with photos, followed Betty’s care info, and absolutely made Betty feel comfortable, loved and welcome into their home!

“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!”

“Second year we’ve used Jenevieve. As always very professional, courteous, and responsible. Follows through with what she says. Feel very comfortable leaving our Boston Terrier with her and her family.”
“Jaden was an awesome sitter. He was prompt in communication, followed up appropriately, and you could tell my dog had a great time during his visit. Jaden is a dog lover, and its evident he’s very experienced with animal care by all the care questions he asked about that I would have forgotten to share. He sent fun video updates and photos of my dog having a blast with him and his girlfriend. We will definitely ask Jaden in the future to dog sit before looking elsewhere. You can’t go wrong with booking him!”

I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Serius absolutely loved his first time going to a doggy babysitter. He was a stressed out neurotic mess for 2 weeks before we found Cassandra. He came home so much calmer, and happy. This will become a regular part of his routine now, so he can get out of the house, and socialize a little more.”
“Melanie and family were wonderful. We had so much peace of mind having our 2 small dogs in their care for our 2+ week trip to Europe. They did a great job updating us and sending pictures. 5 stars all around!!! We look forward to booking with them again in the future. :)”

“Butter loved her stay at Ashly’s! Ashly is a professional and we felt instantly comfortable when dropping Butter off. Ashly did a great job following all of our care instructions. 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!”
“Only positive things to say, whether it’s communication or how caring she is of our dog and other dogs in her care. Our dog can’t get out of the car fast enough when we get to her house, the truth is in the tail wags, he loves staying with Elizabeth!”
“This was my first time leaving my senior rescue pups with a Rover sitter. Alexandra was patient with my dogs and the time it took them to settle in, get comfortable and bark less. Appreciated her prompt responses and communication. Her setup was great for my dogs and she has a giant fenced in backyard!”
“Ally was really great with my dog Miller. She was very open with her communication and sent a lot of updates and pictures over the weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area. And will definitely let her watch my dog again in the future”
“Morgan did such an amazing job of taking care of our pup. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her with a non-family member, so we were a bit nervous but Morgan immediately put us at ease. She was so thoughtful, caring, and attentive. Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!”
“Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Geni did a fantastic job watching our cats! She was dependable, took great care of them, and kept us updated with pictures while we were away. One of my biggest concerns was that our cats would be stressed, but it was so obvious from the pictures that they were comfortable, happy, and really liked Geni. That gave us such peace of mind! We couldn’t have asked for someone better and would 100% recommend Geni. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our cats again! 🐾❤️”
“She has a special touch for sure. Our cat has a fear of strangers however, I received photos of Morgan brushing our shy kitty. Morgan was the perfect person to care for our pets.”
“This was my second time booking with Adrianna, and I can’t recommend her enough! She stayed the night with my cat at my apartment for a couple of nights while I was away and put my mind at ease! I knew Angelica was in great hands. :)”
“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!”
“It seemed scary having someone we don’t know come into our home to take care of our kitty, but Lisa put those worries to rest! She was very sweet and gentle with our little Dexter who is always wary of new people. He grew a liking to her almost immediately and animals usually know when someone is kind and trustworthy. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. We will definitely be asking her to look after him again. 😺”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of my pet cat. She cleaned the litter box regularly and even cleaned up and got my mail without asking. I highly recommend her!”
“We loved having Megan stay with our three kitties. She sent texts, pics, and videos every day, and I could tell our boys were well cared for. We have a senior cat who needs meds daily, and she kept a daily record of his meds. I enjoyed meeting Megan, highly recommend her, and wouldn't hesitate to reach out to have her stay with our kitties next time we take a trip.”
“Kendra was absolutely perfect! We had her check on our cat while we were gone for a week. Kendra sent daily photos, as well as an update on her food, water, and demeanor that day! She even watered my plants for me! Highly recommend, and we'll definitely use her again in the future!”
“While we debated having someone come check in on the cats while we were going for two nights, we are glad we had Sara come. We ended up having a water leak with water dripping through the ceiling. Sara let us know about this and put towels and bowls under the drips to lessen the damage from the water. Thank you, Sara! :)”
“Emily was excellent with my cat! She kept her very happy, checked in regularly, and sent wonderful pictures. Great attention to detail on all of my cat's needs too!”
“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”

“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!”
“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.”
“Hannah was amazing with our cats! She treated them like they were her own and took such great care of them while we were away. She even fixed our litter robot when it stopped working and cleaned up a plant the cats knocked over. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. I highly, highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”

“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!”

About: I have personally had a pet or 3 since I was 13 years old. I begged for a cat for years and once I got one, I never have been without at least one pet. I have been volunteering with the ARL since 2005. I have had 30+ foster dogs through them as well. I just love animals. I do have weekends blocked but just ask about availability! I am retired. I enjoy going for walks with dogs and depending on the dog spending time outside in my fenced in backyard. I have a 6 foot fence. Your dog will have the ability to be part of our family and our family pets are on our furniture. We do separate our home animals, fosters and house guests at night. The "regulars" get to sleep in our beds while our guests get other accommodations. It makes for better harmony for us. Because we foster on a regular basis our animals are very used to different dogs coming into our home. Our home is pretty quiet and relaxing.
“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! ?”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since 2005 my parents had 3 ridgbacks and I haven't known a time when im not the guy to watch someone's beloved animal! Might as well get paid to do something i love! I am a disabled US Navy Veteran in my late 30s. I work out of my garage and am home based and will have lots of time for your animals in my house and fenced in yard Large fenced in yard, I have cats but they have rooms to hide if your dog doesn't like cats, I have a bloodhound that loves to play with others and is a sweet boy and sleeps about 22 hours a day 🤣
“Jaden has an obvious love for dogs! He is very knowledgeable about handling different breeds and handling them together. Jaden went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my boy Duke's special needs. I wish I never had to be without my bud, but when I do I will leave him with someone like Jaden!”
“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.”
“Taitum was so accommodating to my schedules and my pup seemed to have so much fun. Even though his stay was for just a few hours, she was so communicative and sent pictures!!”
“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!”
“Everything from start to finish was great! She took the time to ask any and all questions to learn about Diggs and his needs Sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day of them walking. Would definitely recommend and use again”
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 currently am not working a job, so am free nearly all the time. When I do begin work, I do not plan to work longer than 8 hour shifts and am willing to drive back to take care of your pup during breaks. I am able to host pets in my apartment! I live in an upstairs 1-bedroom apartment and spend much of my time there, when not in school. 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!
“Was awesome with a last minute booking, easy to meet with and flexible with the pickup. My dog looked very happy and healthy at pick up and seemed to enjoy his time.”
“Jen was an absolute delight and took great care of both of my dogs! She was extremely accommodating and friendly! I highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her in the future as the need arises!”

About: I've had dogs since the day I was born, and responsibly started taking care of them since I was around 10 years old. I've taken care of dogs from 8 weeks old to 16 years. As an adult, I've had 2 dogs and have cared for them in their crazy puppyhood to more gentle yet demanding senior care. As your dog sitter, I can provide enrichment via walks, playing, and basic tricks and skills you want me to work on with your dog. I can feed and refresh water bowls. I can help with medication if needed. I am happy to care for any of your pets' needs during a visit. I treat my all of my pets like my children and I am so excited to start caring for yours! I am a teacher currently on summer vacation. I am free to work during the week and some weekends from around 11-3 for drop in visits or walks. Once the school year starts back up, I may be available during holiday breaks and some weekends. Expect thorough reports and cute photos after a sitting or walk. As a regular user of Rover services myself, I know what I like and want from my sitters, so I will put that into my work. I will enter the home however is most comfortable with the client and lock the home back up when I leave. All walks will be leashed or contained in a stroller. I do not offer off-leash walks for the safety and liability of myself, your pet, and anyone we might encounter. If your pet is crated, I will crate them again when I leave. I will only enter spaces necessary for the care of the pet.
“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 extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. My corgi, Vinnie, had back and hip issues later in life, which taught me the importance of attentive and compassionate care. Growing up with labs and sharing nearly 10 wonderful years with Vinnie, I’ve developed a deep love for dogs. Over the past 20 years, I’ve helped friends and family care for their pets, always treating each animal like part of the family. I prioritize providing personalized, one-on-one care, and only in rare cases will I care for more than one dog or one family’s pets at a time. My volunteer work with the ARL has also given me valuable experience with a variety of breeds and unique needs. I work from home and can care for your pet throughout the day. I am willing to do long and short walks, or just play with your pet! Playing, cuddles, walks, potty breaks, whatever they need! I am very good at recognizing the tells for various dogs. I can usually tell when they need to go outside, need water, or are anxious. I will adjust to what the dogs need and am a very open communicator. My house is clean and safe for pets. I do have stairs in my home, but am willing to work with dogs who need additional support.
“Kent is amazing! He goes above and beyond for my dog. He is an excellent communicator and keeps me informed with anything I may need to know about my dog. He cares deeply for animals and is so trustworthy and genuine. I highly recommend Kent and we are so lucky we found him!”
“Adrianna was sweet, communicative and simply great! Luckily she was able to walk Luna with short notice and I could tell Luna had so much fun from the pictures. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up, my family had two Saint Bernards and a Yellow Labrador, which gave me experience with large breeds from an early age. Today, I share my home with an English Springer Spaniel, a Throwback Pomeranian, and a couple of reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve been pet sitting for the past six years for friends and family. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to their normal routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am currently available early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. When school starts, I’ll also be available during the day, giving me even more flexibility to care for your pets! I know your pets are family, and I care for them that way. When I’m in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated so you always know how your furry family members are doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always loved being around pets, and that passion has stayed with me into adulthood. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends and family, caring for their furry family members as if they were my own. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of affection, or simply keeping them company. I’ve missed pet sitting and am excited to get back to doing something I genuinely love. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. If you're looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and who will treat your pets like family, I'd love the opportunity to help. I am currently working full time in a position that works from home. I have flexible hours and would be available most of the day for drop ins. I have two cats of my own that I love with my WHOLE heart. Currently looking to do drop ins as my babies aren’t super comfortable around other pets.
About: Hi, welcome! My name is Grace and I would be honored to care for your beloved pet while you are away! I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Most notably, I’ve been a consistent caretaker for two energetic black labs for the past 8 years. I’ve also cared for fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. If you think I’d be a good fit for your furry (or scaly!) family please reach out! I do not currently have any commitments! I’m new to the area and excited to meet some fur friends here. My new job will start September 14, 2026, but until then I’m wide open! Once I start my position, I’ll be working 8 hour days in Urbandale (if you’re close to that area I am more than willing to spend my lunch breaks with your pet). Once I’m back from work for the day I am ready to play! Coming home to an animal friend is one of the best feelings, and I want to give your pet all the love possible! I feel very comfortable being away from home. I love getting to help families keep their animal loved ones in a place they are familiar with. Whether you have a fenced in yard or no yard at all, I always get play time in every day. I love watching pets’ personalities blossom in their own space.

About: Interacting with animals has always been the highlight of my day. I have a decade of professional experience with pet care, primarily dogs and cats, but small animals and exotics as well. I have a beloved senior dog and a giant day gecko at home, but I grew up around a large range of animals, including dogs, birds, lizards, frogs, rodents and sugar gliders. I also have a bachelor's degree in biology with a particular interest in animals and plants. As a result, I have the experience, knowledge and passion to provide the high-quality care you're looking for. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means that I am able to devote plenty of time and attention to your animals. I will keep in touch with you while your precious pets are under my care, so you won't have to worry about their safety and comfort. I am happy to provide detailed updates and photos of the time they spend with me. I would love an opportunity to work with your family! I'm between jobs right now, so I'm able to provide even more time for your pets. When I do find my next job, I will be sure to give advance notice to any clients potentially affected by the change in addition to updating my profile. I will respect any rules and routines of your household so that you and your pets will be as comfortable as possible. I am always careful when opening doors to prevent escapes and take any specific safety concerns for your individual pets into account.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, of all shapes and sizes. I love all animals. I’ve grown up with working dogs, big dogs, feral cats, farm animals, horses, and everything in between. I am always willing to go for midday lunch walks (in the Ankeny/Polk City area) or weekend check ins in the metro, while you are out and about being social. My husband works blue collar, so sometimes I have a lot of time to myself while he’s working, I’d love to fill in with walks at night or weekends in the Highland Park/Saylor TWP/Beaverdale areas, but willing to venture out into the metro. I am always very cautious when going in for my furry friends for walks, making sure they are safe. I’m full of love and attention and energy to burn so I’d love a buddy. I’ve worked with highly trained dogs, and will honor any and all training your dogs follows.
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: Because my family has always owned dogs, daily tasks like cleanup, feeding schedules, and playtime are already second nature to me. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them a fun, safe stay! I am currently work full time so weekends are typically what works best for me. I’m typically available on the weekends from mid-morning to evening I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure and clean while ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar environment.

About: Hi! I'm Ross, I grew up having Labrador Retrievers as family pets and have always had a strong love of dogs. I like all dogs, big or small! I now have a 2 year old Chocolate Lab, who I've trained myself. I'm great at responding to a pets needs. I love to give them the attention and play that they want while maintaining appropriate disciple/doggie boundaries ( like not jumping up on strangers). I am good at reading dogs body language which helps to know if they are tired, playful, need to go to the bathroom, not feeling well, or just need some attention! Working from home gives me extra flexibilty to give the pups extra attention when they need it. Regardless of the setting I am able to follow the guidelines that you have set up for your pet. I look forward to getting to know your dogs!!
“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!”
“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.”
“Amber did a great job watching Clover!! She kept us informed on how she was eating and even gave her a few special treats. Clover loved the swimming pool. 🐶 We appreciate the great care she received.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”
