House Sitting in Van Meter

“I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

“Thanks again for taking great care of my fur babies. I know Tommie can be difficult with her deafness and craziness. You do a fantastic job every time.”

Terry B.

“Great communication. Everything was awesome for our pups while we were gone.”

“Samantha was wonderful at caring for our senior pet who needed special attention. She was responsive and attentive. Kept us informed the entire time we were away. Absolutely recommend.”

“McKenna did great with my chihuahua Sassy who lives up to her name and can be quite Sassy! She was patient, caring, and attentive with our baby! Sent frequent updates on how she was doing and very trustworthy!”

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

“Abigail was so great with our pups! She kept them entertained and wore them out with walks and lots of plays. She had such great communication, we didn't need to worry and they had such great time while we were gone. Thanks Abigail!”

“Traci is so amazing! Our pets loved her so much. She is very attentive and detailed which i really appreciate. She stayed with our pets for 7 days and everything went very smooth. She is very kind and easy to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Megan was fantastic! She was prompt and responsive. She provided pictures of our pups and gave them all the love! Would highly recommend Megan.”

“Isabella was fantastic with my boys! From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs. She communicated with me regularly, providing updates and making sure I felt at ease while I was away. I was especially grateful when she stepped in at the last minute to administer eye drops to one of my boys….her willingness to go the extra mile was truly impressive. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend Isabella for any pet sitting needs!”

“Allison was great!! We have an anxious large Retriever and we came home to a happy content boy! The house was cleaner then when we left and we got so many cute photos and updates. Very happy with Allison and highly recommend!”

“Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.”

Sayoko B.

“Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals-dogs, cats, and everything in between, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From pet sitting for neighbors as a kid to loving on my own furry family members, animals have been a constant in my life. I know pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. That’s why I treat every dog or cat in my care with the same love, attention, and patience I give my own. As a stay at home mom with my kids in school full time, I have plenty of free time during the weekdays to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, which makes scheduling walks, drop ins, or daytime care easy and flexible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely- from feeding routines to favorite toys and I keep your pet’s safety and well being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away.

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

“Kelly did an amazing job taking care of my two fur babies. I will rebook her again and I appreciate all the love and care she gave my puppies and my home. Thank you, Kelly.”

“Elliana did a great job with our fur baby! She is great at communicating and send lots of updates with pictures and videos. The house was left in good condition and we came home to a happy pup! Highly recommend!!”

“Jen was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and it went so well. It was for a holiday weekend where she already had pups she just needed to let out but she was willing to do both to help us out in a pinch. She made time to come meet Rocco before staying with him and we all liked her right away! She left the house clean which is always nice to come home to. The real stand out was when we got hit with an ELEVEN hour delay. We were supposed to get home around 4pm so told her she could leave around noon, first delay came I asked if she could stay an extra hour, no problem. We continued getting delayed to a point we didn’t think we’d make it home at all so we reached out and she had no problem coming back to stay with him again. We ended up taking off close to midnight local time so I let her know we would be landing around 3am. She woke up to that text and headed out a couple of hours before we arrived to a clean house and happy pup! She was so willing to help us when the unpredictable happened we can’t thank her enough!!”

“We rebooked Sam to watch our senior frenchie Tiffany while we went out of town for a week. Sam was amazing! They reached out with any questions and sent lots of updates and pictures. We just got home and Tiffany is chill as a cucumber, no stress at all. Sam was wonderful giving Tiffany her meds (there are so many) on schedule and without any issue. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip because Sam was here taking the best care of our Tiffany. Sam is also very friendly and chats with us in the app and in person so this whole situation is even more comfortable because we have a super cool person dog sitting, someone we would want to hang out with and who is competent, funny, and so caring. I cannot recommend Sam enough!”

About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!
