Dog Walking in Ankeny

“Kent is amazing! He goes above and beyond for my dog. He is an excellent communicator and keeps me informed with anything I may need to know about my dog. He cares deeply for animals and is so trustworthy and genuine. I highly recommend Kent and we are so lucky we found him!”

“Caitlyn has been coming over 2-3x a week to let our dog out during the day. She (with permission, of course) took my dog for pup cups on both her birthday and her gotcha day. She always puts my dog first, and loves her as her own, and my dog is obsessed with her. I will continually recommend Caitlyn to anyone I know who is looking for someone to check on their pet.”

About: I’ve grown up my whole life around having a dog and always treated our pets as family so rest assured your pets will be respected as your family. I’ve been around puppies, adults and senior dogs. Would love to do meet and greet before so your puppers can feel comfortable with me and not feel like I’m a total stranger! I currently work full time in office M-Thurs 7-3:30 PM and work from home on Friday’s. I don’t work weekends within my FT job. I can be available after I’m done with work if needed, but should have more availability during the day towards the weekends. I live in a townhouse so I have to keep my dog leashed when going on walks as ruled by our HOA association. In our home our dog roams free, but during his puppy and growing stages we had him in a large playpen.

“Jaron has been walking our dog for several years. He is super reliable and gives plenty of notice if he will be unavailable. He is very sweet to her!”

About: Born, raised, and still a dog lover! I have had Border Collies, a Labrador, Scottie Dogs and now the proud owner of a squirrel and rabbit chasing Beagle! I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I take Mia (our beagle) for long walks everyday. Everyone is welcome to come along! Our apartment requires key-card access to three doors before successful entry. Numerous toys on demand, super dog-tastic biscuits and treats on tap, plus dog spa and bath if permitted!

About: I’ve loved on and cared for pets all my life. Newborn to senior with fur, feathers, and fins. Loving them like my own, following your rules, giving them the life they deserve. It’s as much for me as it is them. I’m currently available for weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule I manage my obligations at my own pace so very easy to schedule. I follow your rules to keep consistent daily structure for your loved one. Pawsitive reinforcement, lots of verbal encouragement, plenty of fun, attention and love just like they deserve.

About: Since age 10 I’ve been volunteering at the ARL. At this same time, my passion for animal welfare also led me to be vegetarian. Since being able to drive I have taken care of multiple different peoples animals during short and extended periods away from home. I am a college student and work part time so I have availability during the day and evenings to care for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends. My main priority is your pets comfort and safety in their own environment. I am open to any specific needs and instructions to provide your pet the best care.

About: As a dog lover (foster mom, volunteer, animal activist and vegan, as well) I will provide your precious pup with tender loving care. Being a dog mom myself, I know the importance of having strong communication and trust in those who are caring for your dog. I'm looking forward to making your pup feel as 'at home' as can be while you are away! My experience with dogs in shelters, dog sitting for friends/neighbors, and being a dog mom for 22 years, in addition to being raised in a family that adored dogs, I have a soft spot for each and every furry, 4-legged pooch. My Rover journey started in 2018, but I was actively fostering dogs through Underdog MN in Minneapolis and didn't have the space to also take on Rover clients. Then, there was the series of events: Pandemic, had my baby, and moved out of state so my OFFICIAL Rover journey is still very new, but I've enjoyed each pet that has visited us. Hope to meet your pet very soon! I currently work remotely and enjoy taking time throughout the day to provide pet care! My schedule is flexible and I can adjust according to what's needed. I have a fenced in and very spacious backyard! I follow all safety instructions from each family to ensure animals stay safe and are always supervised.

About: I have had animals all my life as I grew up on a farm . Recently both my schnauzers pass away from old age. I am not ready for another pet of our own but love watching other pets. I am experienced watching all ages of dogs and cats and also administering medicine if needed. Pets will need to be kid friendly in my house , they can keep up with the energetic ones but know to be gentle with the older ones. I also love to snuggle so your pets will get lots of kisses and hugs. I have a very flexible work from home schedule, so I am able to cater to your pet's needs. They will work alongside me and I am able to take regular breaks for play time and walks depending on your pet. Safety is our #1 concern so even though we have a fenced in yard they will always be supervised. I also have locks on all our fences just in case. Our environment can also cater to the needs of your pet's personality; I am prepared to snuggle on the couch or play until we can't play anymore. I also love to take pictures so will keep you very updated! I know it's hard to leave your babies so we will do our best to make you and them feel comfortable.

“Sylvia has been so caring and compassionate toward our two pups. We can tell they are so excited when she comes to visit. She has always been great with communication and we love reading her notes after each walk!”

About: I will make sure that I treat your dog as well as my own. I love to walk my own dogs, rain or shine, and I enjoy giving dogs the attention they need in order to be as happy as possible. I have done home visits and boarded dogs in the past for family and friends. I make sure to visit and care for them every chance I get. I do work a little outside my home but the dogs will be exercised before I leave them. I am also a runner so if you need someone to run with your dog I would love to. I am up around 4 am for feedings and to let dogs out. My morning walks are usually around 10 am. I will walk the dogs again around 8 pm before bedtime. I do have a fully fenced in yard. I have kennels I can provide if the dog needs kenneled unless it’s a large breed dog.

About: Hi there! My name is Emma. I recently returned from a year abroad in New Zealand, where I spent my final three weeks on a farm, feeding and running the farm's working dogs and caring for a 3-month-old litter of puppies. At home, I have two dogs and two cats whom I adore. Growing up in a pet-filled household has made me very familiar with the diverse needs of animals. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’ve cared for various sizes and breeds, including senior dogs and those with special needs, such as medication and physical assistance. I'll be in Iowa for 5 weeks before heading off to travel in Australia, so I'll be completely available to spend time with your furry friends. I’m incredibly reliable and flexible—just let me know a day in advance if you need my services. I ensure pets receive the same level of care and attention in my home or your home as they would in their own. This includes following their feeding and medication schedules, maintaining cleanliness, and providing plenty of affection and playtime. I prioritize understanding each pet’s unique needs and routines to ensure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and pets for family and friends. I’m excited to meet your sweet pet and get to know them! I’m working, but my schedule is flexible during the week. I can do morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I can also drop by during daytime. I care for my pets through preventative care, making sure they’re uptodate on their shots and that they are getting enough attention at the house.

About: I love all types of animals. I have experience taking care of horses, pigs, cats, dogs, and even small rodents! I have multiple years experience working in veterinary clinics, doggy day cares, and even my own personal animals. I have taken 3 years of veterinary classes as well. I truly love animals like they are my own. I’m currently working part time learning how to be a saleswoman! So I have plenty of time to cuddle and love on your furry loved ones! I love going on walks, playing with toys, giving kisses, brushing, and giving treats! I currently only have cats, 3 of my own, but I have had a dog when I was a kid and know how to take care of them! I will take any precautions you want and am not limited to any working style. I will do what you want me to do and what the animal is comfortable with! I know how to read body language and give proper precautions if needed. I’ve dealt with stressed dogs/cats and happy ones too!
