Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!

Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.

I requested Monica services for an upcoming trip on Thanksgiving weekend and needed drop in visits for my cat. From the start Monica had great communication and did a wonderful job keeping me updated throughout my trip. She made me and my pet’s first Rover experience an exceptional one and I will confidently schedule her services if needed in the future.

Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

About: Responsible business professional in the Des Moines area looking to supplement my income doing something I love, taking care of animals. Ive been a cat and dog owner for years and absolutely have a love for all animals. I will treat your fur babies like my own.

Emily makes days like this possible for me. I was on the run from 7:30’- 4:00 and needed drop in help so I didn’t have to run home. It takes a load off my shoulders to know Emily can step in!

Sincerely amazing, took pictures of everything that I wouldve asked for without me even having to ask. Super sweet and considerate detailed notes with every visit. Cleaned up any messes which was so sweet. One of the few people on here that really knows how to care for cats and does so excellently. My cats loved her especially my scaredy cat who is afraid of everyone. I sincerely do not believe I’d book with anyone else after this amazing expirence.

We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Ashly was so kind & caring towards our elderly kitties while we were away. She stopped in twice a day to visit and give medications - they were definitely spoiled by the special attention! She let me know when one wasn’t acting normally and checked in an extra visit just to make sure all was well. Can’t wait to have her care for them again. 💕
