House Sitting In Valley High Manor

“Daniel was amazing! We have a newly adopted puppy and had to leave town for a night shortly after adopting him. Daniel gave us peace of mind while we were away and took great care of our crazy pup!”

“Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.”

“Christina was extremely communicative and treated the dogs fantastic! She also left the house in great shape and followed my instruction sheet to the letter, which I truly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Monica was great. Very professional, communicated well, and took great care of the house and our dog. Will definitely be on my list for future sitter or dog walker needs.”

Adam S.

“Molly was absolutely fabulous! While we were gone we received lots of pictures from her letting us know how things were going and that our babies were enjoying their time with her. I usually am anxious when we go out of town about how things are going but was completely relaxed during our entire trip! This was our first time using Rover and everything went very smoothly!”

Tammy M.

“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”

Ariel G.

“Yasmin took excellent care of my dog during a week-long trip and I would definitely book with her again! Ranger gets anxious sometimes, especially when his routine is disrupted, but he seemed happy and content in all of the picture/video updates (and I appreciated her sending those regularly). Thank you for keeping my best friend happy and healthy while we were gone, Yasmin!”

Sylvia A.

“Kayla did amazing taking care of our house and pups! Her pics and updates gave us peace of mind leaving the dogs at home during our trip. We definitely would have her watch them again.”

Macaulay O.

“Aaliyah watched my two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of them & our home even though my boys put her in some tough & unexpected situations. There were late nights, early mornings, and lots of phone calls & texts messages. I'd definitely book her again if she'd accept me!”

Jen C.

“Abby was awesome and I highly recommend her. She was great with my dogs and she had great communication and sent pictures. She was a pro from start to finish.”

About: I have had animals most of my life and regularly cat sit for friends and family. I am great in emergencies and a kind caring responsible person who will treat your pets like my own. I am calm quiet and gentle by nature and animals tend to pick up on that and like me. I’m always respectful of others homes. I am available 24/7 365 days a year I am happy to work around your schedule and available most hours of the day or night I follow whatever instructions are needed and I let my dogs out to potty every two hours along with cleaning litter boxes and plenty of playtime and snuggles. I also respect privacy and personal property and am not a person to mess with your stuff.

“Stacey did so great with my dogs. One of my dogs is extremely afraid of strangers but instantly approached Stacey during or initial meet and greet. Will definitely be using Stacey again!”

About: I started in the veterinary field at the age of 15 as a kennel technician and cross trained in the clinic as a veterinary assistant. I then went to school for animal/veterinary science and graduated with valuable skills and education. After school I went into zookeeping where i cared for a variety of taxa including but not limited to carnivores and hoofed animals. After leaving the field and changing careers, I became a foster home for Oh My Dog Rescue based in the Des Moines IA area. As a Retail Manager my schedule is not consistent however I guarantee that I will check on your animals a minimum of twice per day unless otherwise agreed upon. I do best house/petsitting for clients who leave detailed instructions and emergency contacts. I bring structure and high quality care to the table in every home I enter.

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

About: I have been around different animals my entire life and have done everything from raising to training. I currently work at a doggy daycare/lodging facility! Im currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! As of now I work 1-8 and get off early most nights. I have a pet friendly dog who loves meeting new pals! If you have a dog who’s possessive over anything I have a ton of experience as my dog is food possessive!

About: I worked throughout high school at a humane society, focusing on puppy and adult dog care, also writing grants for the foundation. Since then, I’ve had three dogs—one Canaanite Shepherd and two huskies. I also have a lovely turtle at home named Zoom! Animal care is part of my daily life, and I strive to give my animals (and yours!) the best life possible! I currently work from home most days, so I can be fairly flexible with my schedule (given enough notice). I am happy to work with your and your dog’s needs! While I don’t offer care in my own home, I am happy to visit your home to let your animals out and get them some exercise!

About: ***So you want a housesitter?Please read carefully before booking. ***I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be w/me for housesitting and boarding assignments*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services. Very flexible and try to respond promptly bc we all have busy lives. I do not have a crate. Bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***Housesitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight housesitting assignments. He's house-trained, does not shed and very friendly with people and other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

“Maddie was awesome! She took great care of both of my dogs and kept me updated the entire time. She made me so comfortable while I was away and I knew my dogs were having such a great time! I would definitely book with Maddie again and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. She goes above and beyond! ?”
