1. Nejra V.

“Nejra is just amazing. She really saved me while I was in Waukee. If you’re considering using her for your animals, I would definitely recommend her. She has great communication and she’s always generous with the pictures”


2. Shelly E.

“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 ☺️”


3. Troy D.

“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”


4. Monica D.

“As always, Monica was so great with our dogs while we were away on our honeymoon. She went above and beyond for us—even watering an indoor plant for us, and offering to add on an impromptu drop in visit because of an impending tornado warning/thunder storm! Her notes were specific and in depth. Our dogs clearly love her. We have two rovers we sincerely trust, and she is one of them! Thanks Monica!”


5. Morgan H.

“Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!”


6. Lisa W.

“Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.”


7. Kassy D.

“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”


8. Andrew & Jackson G.

“These guys are amazing. I have a big Blue Great Dane and my dog loves them. They are attentive to him and his needs. Great communication with the guys too. They send pics and great reviews of the day with my dog.”




9. Cory G.

“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”


10. Kacee G.

“Kacee does a great job with my dogs!”


11. Patty D.

“She was super accommodating during Christmas and was very nice.”


12. Alexandra H.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Harvey! Ali was wonderful to work with! She was on time and sent a picture of our fur baby during drop in.”


13. Jenea V.


“Jenea was awesome! We were on vacation for over a week and Jenea did drop in visits twice a day for us! Her communication was great! She sent us updates throughout the day and lots of pictures my kids loved looking at! She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her services again!”


14. Tyren B.

“Tyren is very thorough and provides excellent care to my pups. He leaves great feedback and pictures on his “report cards” which I really appreciate! He’s very kind and my dogs love him :)”


15. Sydney S.

“Sydney was very kind and did a great job with our three cats. We would definitely use her again if she is available since I know she's in Ames for part of the year.”


16. Ashly B.
About: Pet loving mom and daughter team. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have worked in a boarding kennel and grooming facility. Able to administer medication if needed. My 15 year old daughter is super responsible and great with dogs. She’s been raised around large breed rescues and is interested in starting her own pet care business. We signed up with Rover as a team so she can get more experience and eventually venture out on her own when she gets a little older. Our rescue pup is a 7-year-old passive German Shepherd who has never met a dog he doesn't get along with. We also have a tortoiseshell kitty called Ohe who has basement access to keep her distance from dogs that intimidate her. She is also the reason we can't host kitties in our home, but we'd be more than happy to do home visits for your cat while your dog stays with us. Looking forward to meeting and helping out our neighbors! I work from home and have ample breaks throughout the day to walk or check in on your fur babies. Daughter is a responsible freshman at Roosevelt who loves to help when school and volleyball schedule allows. Safety always comes first in our home. We have ample space for kenneling and/or keeping dogs separated when we need to leave them home unattended but 90% of the time someone will always be here to ensure a safe & fun stay. Everyone in our home has basic dog safety and conflict resolution training and many years of experience working with all types of doggie personalities.


17. Molly T.

“Molly was so good with my cat and it is super friendly. She visited at the established time and followed the instructions. I recommend Molly.”


18. Lauren F.

“Wonderful care and great communication. Definitely will be asking Lauren to watch Kane again!”


19. Rachel B.
“Rachel took care of my 2 month old German shepherd for 2 months. I would drop him off in the morning on my way to work with her and she helped get him potty trained and it helped that she had her dog at home to introduce him to socialize with other dogs. She did such a great job and highly recommend anyone as she is great with animals!”


20. Marisa F.
“I can honestly say that Marisa is by far one of the most responsible people I’ve ever met. She is extremely reliable and consistent in everything she does. She’s a cat mom of her own, and let me tell you, her kitties are not pets those are FAMILY! It's clear that her love for animals outweighs most but she also understands their needs. I don’t know about you, but I would for SURE without a doubt trust her with my pets if need be.”
