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.

You can trust Jaron. He is dependable and communication with him is easy. He has a positive attitude. His report cards were helpful, as we have an older dog with health issues.

Wow! What a great experience. Kyle took awesome care of our 2 cats and we couldn’t have been happier! We appreciated how punctual he was and let us know how our fur babies were doing. I don’t trust my pets to just anyone, but I would definitely recommend and will use Kyle again. Thanks!!

Aubri is an exceptional caregiver who has looked after my family’s 8 dogs with great attention and love. She has 2 dogs of her own, which she treats like family. Her dedication shows in the way she cares for all dogs under her supervision. She is responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and passionate about the well-being of animals. I would highly recommend choosing Aubri to walk your dogs or hang out with them during the day.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, of all shapes and sizes. I love all animals. I’ve grown up with hunting dogs, big dogs, farm animals, and cats. I am always willing to go for midday lunch walks or weekend check ins while you are out and about being social (in the Ankeny/Polk City area). My boyfriend works blue collar, so sometimes I have a lot of time to myself while he’s working, I’d love to fill in with walks at night in the Ankeny area. Some nights he may even join if he’s home. We have a puppy of our own that could join, pending your permission of course. I am always very cautious when going in for my furry friends for walks, making sure they are safe. I’m full of love and attention and energy to burn so I’d love a buddy.

Meagan is like a sanctuary for dogs. For the entire time I have known her, Meagan has had a dog and also volunteered to walk dogs at the local shelter. Her heart is with the canine world, and she is absolutely the first person I would ask to take care of my dog when I am out of town. I cannot speak highly enough of Meagan. She is an amazing and compassionate person who would take excellent care of other’s pets!

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!

About: I am flexible and available to provide around-the-clock care for your pets and home! I am experienced working with timid pets and animals with special needs such as epilepsy and blindness, along with providing them medication as needed. I enjoy being active and it always comes in handy with rowdy and energetic pets, but I'll always have time to cuddle and take a nap with my lazier furry friends! Pet care fits well into my schedule, being a student. I have almost every evening completely open, I'm always fully available on weekends, and morning to overnight care fits into my days. Whether it's a drop-in, going for a walk, or housesitting overnight, I have the time! Every pet and home is different, so as a sitter I am always open and willing to whatever a pet needs to be comfortable and enjoy their environment. Making accommodations for your pets is my job as a sitter! I have often taken care of animals that are extremely timid or shy, and being patient and allowing that trust to build is something I find extremely important when taking care of pets.

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: I have cared for dogs for many years, including friends, family, fosters, and our own. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, and stages of life. Dogs are a part of our family and are treated as such. We have a large fenced in yard, and go on walks daily. I work from home so I am available all day, and we have a large .4 acre fenced in lot to let dogs run free. I work from home part, I typically walk our dogs in the morning if it’s going to be extremely warm or mid afternoon & evening. Dogs can go in and out of the home into the fenced in yard as they please. We have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly golden who loves to make new friends. If your dog needs walked and checked in on in your home we have very flexible work schedules which would allow us to give them plenty of attention.
