Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.

Alice did a great job with our dog. She communicated just the right amount and even cared for him over a major holiday. I think she even gave him a bath. Would definitely recommend!

Casandra was amazing. I was a first time customer and a bit uncertain how Rover worked. Casandra took the time to meet my dog and me in advance of my reservation to both answer my questions and allow my dog to acclimate to her overnight accommodations. Casandra took pictures of my dog playing and sent them to me daily - it totally put my mind at ease! I will definitely use Casandra again! Again, she was fantastic. Highly recommend her and her services!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Gemma had a great time, and I really appreciated Kayla helping us at the last minute. I'm very picky who cares for my girl, and would definitely use Kayla again! Gemma is currently curled up in my lap taking a nap, she is wore out!

We came to Iowa for a wedding. Cory took good care of our 2 senior dogs (labs). One has separation anxiety that he was able to comfort and the other took a nap on his bed. He walked and fed them.

I'M SO GLAD to have found Priscilla and her honey. They were so awesome I highly recommend. Priscilla did excellent with my dogs and one can be a little difficult. She is great with dogs. My dogs were comfortable right away. And I could see thru the pics and videos she would send they continued to feel right at home. Their house is beautiful and they took such good care of my babies. Will use them again.

Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶
