House Sitting in Waveland Woods, Des Moines, IA

“Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.”

“Lori is great with our two cats and two dogs, and they all love her. We’ve had her over for check-ins, and she recently stayed with the pets at our house for a week - we came home to four happy pets. Having someone like Lori to rely on gives us great peace of mind!”

“We had Andrea come stay with our pets while we were out of town. She was incredibly conscientious and committed to providing the best care possible for “our girls”. She washed everything she used and left the house spotless. We highly recommend Andra!”

“I wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars! Megan was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Benji! She came to our home to watch him, & I could tell right away she genuinely cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was punctual, kind, and so easy to communicate with. While we were out, she kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Megan treated him like her own, which made us feel so at ease! When we got home, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great day. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants their pets cared for like family!”

“I appreciated Nadine sending me updates and pics of my dogs. One of my dogs is very skittish and scared, I know that couldn’t have been easy. But I know he was still well taken care of! I would book her again!”

Dawn B.

“Thank you Dawn for caring for Kirby so well. You have a gentle intuitive way to calm our senior dog, and we knew he was well cared for and loved.”

Patti D.

“Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!”

Jaime S.

“Deborah was great! And our Golden Retriever Frankie loved her. She took great care of him, and our house, while we were gone. We'll definitely reach out to her again when we need great care for Frankie!”

Larry M.

“Emily was amazing with our two pets! We got lots of updates and photos and came home to two very happy and relaxed animals after a week away. We've already got Emily booked to come back!”

Katie P.

“This was our Winnie’s first ever stay with a sitter and I couldn’t have picked a better person! Nejra was absolutely fantastic! She provided photos throughout the day which were great. She was definitely approved by all the animals which was great!!”

Summer R.

“Abby was great for the few days that she watched our dogs. We had a semi newly adopted dog and she did well with the two doggos we had. They loved her!!”

Pam G.

“Lisa did a great job keeping in touch and sending pictures. Our house was clean and the dogs were in good order when we got home. We were very happy with the experience. Thank you Lisa!”

Elizabeth G.

“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”

Lacey M.

“Rachel provided care for our two dogs in our home for 3 days and 2 nights. She went above and beyond to befriend and bond with our shy pups. Rachel was a considerate and responsible houseguest as well. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask for her the next time we need a sitter for our dogs. -Nancy V”

About: I grew up always having cats and being a total cat lady, however after bringing home my first dog ever I realized how much I absolutely love and adore dogs! I have experience with having a dog of my own (sadly he went on to the rainbow bridge), plus caring for my sisters dog who I jokingly say is my part time dog. I also have experience with all the dogs I’ve gotten to meet through Rover. I would love to have a dog of my own again but I don’t have the proper time or space to have one right now, so I’m looking to get my fix by spending time with your dog! I’m currently available any time of day on weekends and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies since I work until 4pm during the week. Im very attentive to your pets needs and making sure they are comfortable this includes lots of outdoor time with nice walks, and giving them lots of love and attention(not to mention treats!). :) I work until 4pm during the week, and I’m off on weekends. So I’m available anytime on weekends, and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with 2 cats so any pets that stay with me need to be familiar and friendly with cats. I do have a spare bedroom that I can use for separation purposes however prefer to be familiar and good around cats if I will be watching in my home. If house sitting I will be available to stay after work and will send lots of pictures and updates along the way.

About: 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 if needed. I do not have a crate but 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. ***House-sitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments. He's house-trained and does not shed and very friendly with other dogs.*** 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 feeding 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.

“Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.”

“Zoe was amazing! We were getting married on NYE 2022 and we had a dog sitter cancel on us a few days before our big night. In a panic we signed up for Rover, found Zoe and she was a life saver. She came over and met with us and Jackson two days before our wedding night. She followed all of our instructions, checked in with us via text when she got to our house on NYE and sent a few pictures during her stay and based on those pictures her and Jackson became best friends. She left the house in perfect condition after her overnight stay, and even left a beautiful wedding card for us. We highly recommend Zoe and we'll definitely be using her again!!!”

Katie O.

“Katlin went above and beyond for my newly adopted dog that is adjusting to a new place. So thankful I found her on this site. I will be using her again in the future!”
