Monica took great care in watching our cat. We greatly appreciate the candid photos and notes detailing her visits with him. He is typically a very shy and standoff with other people. We were happy to see him starting to open up more with her. Definitely will book her to watch him again.

Shelly did an AMAZING job with our kitties. She was timely and made sure they got all the loving they needed! She was flexible all the way up to the dates we needed and even learned how to take a cats blood sugar for our chonky monkey that’s diabetic! 100% would use her again and recommend for anyone else ☺️

Lisa was amazing with my two cats, Mimi and Momo! She made sure that I got regular updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. They were well taken care of during the week that I was away. Both were very happy and relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care

Ali did a wonderful job with drop-in sessions for my senior dog. He loved her visits and was always happy and tired afterwards. Ali’s communication is prompt and clear. A member of my household is immunocompromised so we take precautions around illness, and Ali was flexible and very respectful.

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 have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!

About: Born and raised a dog lover! I’ve have 5 dogs throughout my life that I have loved so dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of my friend’s dogs in HS and college. I love to go on walks, so why not bring your pup with me! I unfortunately do not have my own dog at this time with my significant other, but I hope to get one soon! I am a teacher who is taking a small step back in education to focus on my health. I know your dogs will help me A LOT during this transition, and they will be under great care. I currently live in an apartment in Des Moines, so I am also available for drop-ins to ensure your pup is comfortable at home! I am willing to travel to different to parts of the metro to help you and your pup!
