Meagan was wonderful with our golden. She provides a large fenced in yard and does a great job supervising when there are other dogs boarding. 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!

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 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!

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.

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!

This was our first booking and we were nervous. Candace and her family were absolutely amazing. Drop off and pick up were convenient and flexible. Lilo seemed to absolutely love his time with them. We got updates and pics of how he was doing, this certainly put our minds at ease. We booked Candace almost immediately again for our next trip because they left us so comfortable with their care of Lilo. We are so happy we found this family to care for our guy.

About: I have been around cats my entire life and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I currently have two cats of my own who are truly spoiled and deeply loved! When caring for your cat, I will ensure their litter box is clean, their food and water are properly maintained, and they receive plenty of playtime and attention. For the safety of all pets in my care, I kindly ask that your animals are up to date on their vaccinations. In addition to pet care, I also offer light household cleaning services for an additional fee.

About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs! My own 2 dogs come from very different places. Belle (3 yo, mixed breed) is a medium-sized rescue dog from the island of St. Croix and Atari (4 yo, Cavachon mixed breed) was born on a farm and has been spoiled since birth! :) I also volunteer with Ruff Start USVI, the rescue service that rescued my dog Belle! I spend time with the rescue puppies, taking care of them, playing with them, etc. My family also often foster dogs from Ruff Start, Belle was a foster dog before we decided to adopt her! I am currently searching for a summer part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your pets this summer! I will be in the Ankeny area until August 10th when I move back to Ames for college! I will be able to provide services in Ames once I return! ☺️ I will update with my college schedule once it gets closer to move-in. I am completely flexible to whatever your dog may need! I can perfectly heed to any dog schedule and follow along with any weird little quirk! I love sending pictures and will send plenty of updates or only a few, whatever you prefer!

About: I have my own 3 cats that I love more than anything. I've had them all since they were kittens so I've personally cared for cats since they were 5 weeks old. The oldest cat I've cared for was 13 and I know that the thing senior cats need most is love and comfort for their retirement. I've been taking care of cats for the longest. Mostly doing house sitting and dropping in to play and feed the cats. This can include giving medication, grooming the cat, cleaning the litter box, etc.

Angela is great! We have had our puppy at her house for Daycare the past two days and he loves it! He was so excited to be dropped off this morning and was one tired puppy after a fun filled day playing with the other Puppies! Angela was very kind/welcoming and made sure to confirm our visit the day before which we really appreciated. She is great at keeping us posted during the day with texts and photos of our 2 month old puppy (we feel very at ease knowing he is in great care and getting to play with other dogs is a huge bonus!) We Definitely recommend Angela and we will definitely be booking with her again!

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies of all kinds since before I could walk. I grew up with a dog and cat always in tow. I lived in the country, so learned fast that the world can be hard for an animal, thus beginning my rehab ‘career’. As I got older, I pet sat for neighbors and family friends. In my mid 20s I trained as a vet tech, prepping animals for surgery, giving vaccinations, nail trims, etc. Until the ISU Wildlife Clinic closed, I volunteered there, learning more care for wild native animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I can’t imagine life without animals. I currently have a senior border collie named Lola, she has arthritis so sometimes she needs help getting around and I’m always willing to help my girl. I also have a senior cat. Currently I’m a doordash/grub hub driver, so I literally am free 24/7 to care for your pets! I will prioritize Rover over delivery, so I can work with any schedule you need. I’m available for repeat needs (several walks a week, drop ins, etc). I live in a duplex with a yard. For me to board a pet, they would need to get along with my dog, and she can honestly be a bit grumpy meeting new dogs, so I feel going to the client’s home would be best. I will respect your home and follow whatever instructions you have for the care of your pets.

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: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.

We were so lucky to find Beth! With just a few days notice, Beth was available to watch our senior pup while we toured Iowa State with my son. It was so nice to bring our dog along and also not worry about him while we took our tour. Cody was treated to two long walks and is sleeping soundly on our trip back home. Thank you so much, Beth!

Samantha is amazing! I felt instantly comfortable leaving Ethel in her capable and experienced hands! I had peace of mind all day knowing my pup was getting the best care and fun time socializing with other dogs. In addition, I love how Samantha keeps the group small enough and not overwhelming in order to build confidence in my pooch. The variety of mental and physical stimulation that occurs throughout the day is also a welcome bonus. Ethel is a new addition to our family and still a puppy and I know Samantha will assist us in making her a well-rounded happy dog as she matures. We can’t wait to come back!

About: I used to work as a certified dog trainer and managed a daycare / boarding facility for 2 years. I was an employee there for longer. 12 hour days every day with dogs of all types. I know how to administer medications, including insulin. I also know how to handle myself in emergency situations, I've learned dog first aid and I've broken up fights in my time that would've been deadly if I wasn't there. I am currently a general contractor making my schedule very open, my wife loves helping with pets of all kinds as well which allows for more care opportunities. The only thing that wouldn't likely work would be multiple days of house sitting IF I am not able to leave for 3-4 hours at a time. I have a hard time spending an extended amount of time not being able to see my infant son! I'll do whatever someone wants for their pet, assuming it's reasonable. I'm okay on multiple large walks, extended play time outside, anything like that is 100% okay. From dogs- cows- fish we would love to help provide dependable care and always ensure your pets are treated with the upmost respect and attention they deserve!

Belle (3 yo, mixed breed) is a medium-sized rescue dog from the island of St. Croix and Atari (4 yo, Cavachon mixed breed) was born on a farm and has been spoiled since birth! :) I also volunteer with Ruff Start USVI, the rescue service that rescued my dog Belle! I spend time with the rescue puppies, taking care of them, playing with them, etc. My family also often foster dogs from Ruff Start, Belle was a foster dog before we decided to adopt her! I am currently searching for a summer part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your pets this summer! I will be in the Ankeny area until August 10th when I move back to Ames for college! I will be able to provide services in Ames once I return! ☺️ I will update with my college schedule once it gets closer to move-in. I am completely flexible to whatever your dog may need! I can perfectly heed to any dog schedule and follow along with any weird little quirk! I love sending pictures and will send plenty of updates or only a few, whatever you prefer!

I’m always happy to help keep them safe, loved, and well cared for As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is naturally flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I love being able to use that flexibility to help care for other families’ pets whenever they need it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your animals with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow all routines closely, provide plenty of love and supervision, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

I have a 3 bedroom house located a few block from a bike/walking trail. I would like a dog of my own but my schedule doesn’t allow for that so cuddling and spending time with your dog would be perfect. Your dog will have access to my furniture while I am home. I can maintain a set schedule and provide your dog with love and care while you are away. I currently work full time from my home. Your pet would be in a kennel very minimal and have lots of attention. Would just be in a kennel if I need to run errands. I have a large fenced in backyard that your pet will love to run free in. The fence was replaced summer of 2021 after the derecho. I work a hybrid schedule 3 days in an office 2 days at home. My boyfriend is home every Friday, he does not work Fridays. I have a large privacy fenced in yard for your dog to play in. I can kennel or crate your dog at your preference. I have a lock on the inside of my front door incase a dog jumps and opens the door.

About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!

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.

I make sure I always know where my pets are throughout the day. If they aren’t in their usual spots, I check on them to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before leaving the house, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and that their scheduled meals are served. I also pay attention to their behavior because it tells me a lot about how they are doing.

About: I have loved pets all my life. Growing up, our family had a dog, and I had two rabbits. Now my family is full of six dogs and lots of hair. I currently have two golden retrievers — Midas and Enzo. They are 4 years old and 11 weeks old! The puppy phase has been fun to enjoy again. In the past I have dog and cat sat and also worked at a grooming facility. I have worked at a veterinary clinic as well. At the clinic, I was an assistant so I interacted with each animal making their visit a positive experience. I am currently working full-time during the weekdays. I can check in on your furry family member early in the morning and as soon as 4pm in the afternoons! Many of my weekends are free! So I have lots of time to prioritize your pet. I will treat your pets as I treat mine. I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and want every pet to have a positive experience. Each fur-baby I watch will be spoiled to the max!

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!

They took great care of our pup! We loved receiving the photo updates and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well loved the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pet.

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!

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!

Jessica is so patient with our dog and also loves and spoils him a lot. She provides a lot of updates as well. Always trust having her host our pup!

Our dog Luci had a great experience staying with Alysha and her family. They welcomed her in and made her feel at home right away. Communication was great with pictures and comments each day of the stay. Definitely recommend Alysha and would book again with her.

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!

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.

Brooke and Brent were a delight to work with. I admittedly had a last minute booking and they were very gracious. Their family was very welcoing to my dog and they were a delight to with. Very grateful to them and happy to enthusiastically recommend!

Davey had such a wonderful stay with Nicole and her family! It was her first stay away from home and she did great. Nicole kept me updated daily with pics and messages which was very reassuring. If ever I need to be gone Nicole will be Davey's second home!

Our lab, Yeller, has stayed with Steve and Tilaine twice during our summer vacation and he has a wonderful time in their home. They are loving and responsible and treat him like family. He loves playing in their fenced yard with the kids, laying in the sun on their deck, and all the attention he gets throughout his stay. When we dropped Yeller off for his second stay with them, about a year after the first one, he enthusiastically bolted from the car right up to Steve and immediately made himself at home again. They have also been flexible with our return time as our flight was delayed and accommodated an extension of the stay on short notice. Highly recommend this family for your dog sitting needs!

My GSP had a wonderful time at Jessica's place. Updated with pictures and video throughout the day. Will definitely use her again in the future if I need someone to watch again.

Samantha was great. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there for eight days. We met in her home before we hired her. We knew from the moment we met her it would be a good fit.
