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!

We felt very comfortable that our dog was well cared for and treated with love - even cuddling in bed with her daughter. Would highly recommend Meagan and will plan on booking again for our next vacation!

Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!

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.

After another Rover person cancelled on me the day before I went on vacation for 7 days, Samantha was so wonderful about allowing my last-minute booking for our pup, Nala. She would send us daily pics of Nala and was very responsive to any messages I sent her. I couldn’t have asked for better care of our pup while we were away! I can tell Nala had an absolute blast for her entire stay! Will definitely be booking with her again for boarding as well as consistent daycare. THANK YOU!!!

I had to travel halfway across the world for over two weeks without my anxious little Emma. Christy and Erkam did such a great job dealing with Emma - keeping her calm, going out for walks, and giving her medicine. They gave me frequent updates and immediately reached out whenever they have questions and concerns. Really appreciate the love and attention they showered Emma with. Highly recommend Christy and Erkam!

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!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I have taken care of bunnies, ferrets, hamsters, cats and dogs! I am a proud dog owner myself. I am very comfortable with walking, feeding, and bathing pets. I am passionate and willing to learn all different breed types and what each specific furbaby needs! I am currently a elementary teacher, so I am looking for a way to continue my passion and love for animals this summer through this service. I am interested in doing part-time work. I care for pets based on the individual pet needs. Making sure that the breed is taken into account, especially as it gets hotter outside. I have a doggy pool and hose system for dogs to play in the background. A very quiet neighborhood for walking. I enjoy playing with dogs inside and outside the home to burn off some energy and making sure that they are getting groomed if thats a requirement. I am comfortable with taking multiple dogs on walks.

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: Although I am newer to professional pet sitting, I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m happy to follow any routines or instructions owners provide, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or giving extra attention to help pets feel at ease while their owners are away. I currently live in West Des Moines! But I’m usually running errands literally everywhere so I am super flexible! Ankeny, Des Moines, Pleasant Hill, Altoona, you name it! I am currently a student at Mercy College of Health Sciences, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I have availability during many weekdays and evenings and I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. I’m dependable and will make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and routines. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort to ensure they feel safe and happy. Cleanliness, supervision, and respect for your home and your pet’s wellbeing are always my top priorities.

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”.

It has been a privilege to have met Ali. Her joy over these silly, unique, fun, and personable dogs is infectious. Ali helped to train my dog! Ali helped me to better train my dog! Ali excellent communication skills, easy laughter and a person I could count on. Both Gracie and I will miss her greatly as we have to move out of town.

Above and beyond, thats about how I describe Tanya and her family. We have a very shy rat terrier mix with high anxiety and in just a few minutes warmed up to this dog loving family and played like shes known them all her life. Spending the whole day (over 12 hours) we had absolutely no worries and nothing but pure confidence. The photos she took were fantastic! If you need someone to care for your fur baby for a while, look no further than Tanya!

Melanie and family were so friendly that my dogs—a 4- and a 12- year-old Havanese—relaxed immediately. Melanie met us in the yard and the dogs trotted away with her without looking back. The dogs were with her for 6 hours and she sent multiple photos and status updates. We would definitely ask Melanie to watch our dogs again!

About: I have cared for animals most of my life. I have cared for common house pets, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even live stock/ farm animals. My life goal is to become a vet and I have experience taking care of special needs animals. I currently work Monday - Friday 9 hours a day but will be home by 4. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 friendly cats that have both been raised around dogs most of their lives. There is also a park down the street that is just a few minutes walk. At the moment I do ask that if your furry family member will be a guest over night that a crate is provided for safety of your family and my own. I can care for your furry friends before I leave for work and after I return from work. I am also free most weekends and can watch them from Friday to sunday Your furry friends will not have access to anything harmful and will be allowed on my furniture. For their safety and mine at night I will have them sleep in a kennel.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and patient pet sitter with experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities—from super social and playful to more independent or shy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with: • Feeding routines and fresh water care • Litter box cleaning and maintenance • Playtime and enrichment (when they want it!) • Giving space to more reserved or anxious cats • Monitoring behavior and overall well-being I’m very detail-oriented and will make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is doing well. I do work full-time as an accountant, but my schedule is very flexible in how I structure my days around watching and caring your animals and their needs! I have a fenced in backyard where my dogs can play and relax without the worry of a leash or harness, and they have free roam of my home

About: I genuinely care about the well being of every dog in my care. I will treat every dog as if it was my own, which means lots of treats(if allowed) and lots of pets, belly scratches and cuddles(if tolerated). I am currently working part-time and healing. Unfortunately financially I need more income so I thought “why not try Rover and spend some time with dogs(which I love doing!)”. So ultimately I will make this fit into my schedule where I can. I’m pretty flexible currently. Give me a chance and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I ask clients to leave detailed instructions. I want to make sure that while you are gone your dogs/cats routine stays as close to normal as possible! If that means your dog goes to paws n pints for a play date on Wednesday @2 then I’ll load up lassie in the car and get there! If your cat gets 3 treats at 3pm everyday then we will make it happen! All joking aside, I aim to please!

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: With a lifelong ownership of dogs and cats, my experience expanded into rescue fostering in 2021. During this time, I have successfully handled pets that deal with separation anxiety, reactivity, handicaps, and limited obedience/cooperation. I am genuinely excited to learn more about your pet(s), their specific care requirements, and their quirks. I’d love to have responsibility of being your trusted caretaker while you’re away! I am currently working fully remote so am able to do all activities through the weekdays, and have flexible hours on weekends. I’m available to accommodate your schedule to the best of my ability. My home is pet-free, ensuring a comfortable environment for your pet(s), especially if they don’t get along well with other animals. Drawing from my experience with reactive dogs, I am experienced in implementing safety measures during outdoor walks or encounters with other animals.

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!

Cory was very responsive and had great communication before and during Moose’s stay! When we picked up Moose after his stay he was happy and tired. He even got to meet new friends! Cory was easy going and handled my high energy dog well!

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!

I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog received while Scott and his wife were carrying for her. She had a medical condition that had just occurred the day before, had been to the vet, but worsened and had to return to vet the very next day after he was caring for her, then progressed to hospital care the following day. It was all very difficult as I had minimal phone service where I was, but he took the time to care for her intensively. Scott took such good care of her I felt she likely got better care than I could have given. He loves, dogs. If he watches your dog you can be assured that they will be treated as part of his family. He’s the best of the best.
