Dog Walking in Ames

“I have to admit that I have really come to rely on Debora. She’s become part of the family and I’m confident my animals are comfortable with her and trust her too.”

“Danika is a wonderful dog mom as well as a phenomenal pet sitter. She takes great care of her dog, Nellie, at home whit taking her on daily walks around the neighborhood and on trails as well as being sure to give her plenty of play time and cuddles. Danika is one of the few people I trust to watch my cat, whether it be for a couple of hours or for a few days. She does well with following directions and making sure my animals feel right at home with her. Danika has always been timely and incredibly flexible when I need her. I couldn’t recommend a better caring and passionate person to take care of anyones pets.”

“Jade is the sweetest soul and our Australian Kelpie mix simply adores her! Sometimes I worry that she'll decide to pack up and move in with her instead of us. She is so on top of making sure our very energetic dog stays safe and happy while we're away. I can enjoy my time away from home knowing that we have left our baby in good hands. I much prefer leaving our pup with Jade instead of at the kennel.”

About: Hi! I’m Kerri :) I’ve had dogs and cats for pets since I was in preschool. I currently have a 5 year old Teddy Bear dog named Teddy and a 1 year old cat named Merle. They are definitely important parts of my family! Having adopted a puppy in the last few years, I feel like my skills dealing with younger dogs is fresh in my mind. They definitely require patience, love, and understanding - as any child would! The joy of seeing a dog learn and grow has been a wonderful experience. I would love the opportunity to help you out with your pets needs - whether that is dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know I work from home and have a flexible schedule - which is great because I’m able to care for pets whenever required. I understand routine is important and I’m happy to work with pets and their owners to accommodate their needs. I’m happy to provide pet setting services in your home, but I’m unable to care for your pet from my house due to animal limits. Both of my pets are indoor animals. I understand that pets thrive on routine and may have different needs on acclimating to new people in their space. I’m happy to work with pet parents on whatever their pets needs are.

“Lauren is great! She takes good care of the babies and takes one on nice walks. She's respectful of my home and knows how to get them to listen lol.”

“Sierra did a great job with several dog walkings. We appreciated the notes and pictures.”

“My Shinoh was sick and even though her only responsibility was to walk him. Angela went above and beyond for my Puppy. She rushed him to the vet and made sure he was safe before leaving. Angela is amazing. Shinoh and I will always be thankful.”

“Gina is a caregiver at heart. I have seen this through our 45 years of friendship. Gina has loved on her own pets as well as caring for pets of her friends. I trust Gina with my life and trust her with any animal in my home. Animals sense her love for them. Not only does Gina have a love for animals, but she is trustworthy, kind, and dedicated.”

“Katie is a wonderful person and an amazing caregiver to all animals. I have to travel out of town often for work and she is always ready (and excited!) to take care of my two cats. I can always trust that they will not only have their needs met, but be loved and cared for as much as they are when I am home. She is always my go to when I have dog related questions as she has so much experience not only with her own dog, but with her past job at a vet office. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“Natalie is amazing with all animals. She has watched my cat and my dog many times and my animals are always so happy when they come home. She takes such good care and responsibility with the animals. She loves all animals and treats them all as her own. She is amazing!!”

“Takes very good care of her animals. She will make sure that her cat always has food and gives him all the love and toys you can give.”

“Lexi and I work together at an animal hospital. As the Lead Tech at our clinic, I never have doubts about Lexi and her technician skills. Lexi improves daily with her technician skills and shows great passion for every single animal that comes through the door. She is a bright light and truly a very lovely person. I would not hesitate to let Lexi pet sit for my fur babies!”

“I refer to Megan as the “dog whisperer”. She’s never met a dog she hasn’t liked. They all LOVE her! She cares so much for animals and they know it. It really is a beautiful thing to see. Not only does she provide exceptional care of our dog, she also helps us with training! Our dog can’t wait until she see’s her again. Megan is a senior in Animal Science pursuing a Veterinary degree at Iowa State University. Megan is so outstanding, I arrange my vacation around her schedule!”

About: I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember, and have helped care for them my whole life. I have trained them all. I have experience with behavior challenged dogs, as well as older dogs with medical issues. I am a pre-veterinary student and I have been a trusted pet and house sitter for friends and family for years. Your fur babies will be safe and cared for, and I take about a million pictures of every pet I come across, so expect to be sent tons! (; I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of pets, ensuring they get quality care and the attention that they deserve! I make sure that I know exactly what the pets will need and where everything to take care of them is. If walking, I always make sure I have the correct equipment for each specific dog. I treat each animal based on their personality and needs, no pet is the same! I ensure that I have a plan in case of an emergency.

“Kenneth followed my instructions and even took my dog for a longer walk than what was scheduled. I would be happy to have him walk Hesed again in the future :)”

“Even in a snowstorm, Alexandra arrived to walk our dog. Winnie was THRILLED to get out in the snow & was BEAT after her 30 min jaunt. That’s the best you can ask for.”

“Caroline was one of the best pet sitters I have had by far! She was excellent giving my diabetic dog his meds, which isn't easy(he is on 2 oral meds and 1 injection daily)! Her background as a veterinary student makes her well equipped for pet sitting, and she even spent extra time with my boy!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and helped those around me with walking their pets, taking care of their pets, and even grooming! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and I’m currently studying at ISU to become a vet! I’m currently available weekdays (except wednesday) after 1pm! Weekends I’m available at any time! Because of my own pets at home (a cat and seven birds), I’m not available for boarding. I’m very good at following instructions and will make sure every one of your and your pets needs are met! I love taking my family’s dogs on walks around the neighborhood and playing with them.

“Taylor was so great being flexible with the rain today. She was super prompt with my requests and obviously loves dogs. She took girls out for a walk and even wiped paws when they came back before coming inside. Girls were happy and looking forward to next time with Taylor!”

“Kimi did such a great job! When I requested a walk she asked if we could do a meet and greet that day, which I really appreciate. She was very personable and knowledgeable about dogs.”
