About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.

9. Jane O.
About: Hi, I’m Jane! I’ve been professionally caring for dogs since 2015, and I make it a priority to learn about each pet before we meet. This includes researching breed-specific needs and understanding any medical conditions to ensure I provide the best possible care. For both dogs and cats, I strive to stick as closely as possible to your routine, while adding a little extra love and exercise to help ease their anxiety while you’re away. PRICING: I offer a base rate for the first pet, with a small additional fee for each extra pet. If you have both dogs and cats, the base rate applies only once per household. Pricing Example: 1 dog, 2 cats: $19 + $4 + $4 = $27 (Note: Fees will be updated prior to booking. Pets must be from the same household.) I have a senior male Chihuahua who accompanies me on overnight stays, so my availability for house-sitting is limited to pet families where this won't be an issue. I work from home and can be flexible for scheduled drop-ins or house-sitting. The pets I care for enjoy frequent breaks to play, walk, or relax in near my lap while I work on my laptop. My policy is to never let a dog out of my sight, even in a fenced yard. Pets can often behave unpredictably when separated from their owners. I focus on keeping them engaged through exercise and play tasks, providing plenty of distractions until your return. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.
10. Andrew & Jackson G.
“Andrew is our go-to to watch our dog, Sully, when we’re out of town. He loves dogs and treats our Sully like he’s his own! We get many pictures from Andrew while we’re away and know Sully is being taken well care of. Andrew has always taken great care of Sully and I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone needing a dog sitter! He’s the absolute best!”
11. Allison G.
“Allison is amazing! She went above and beyond helping me with my precious Vivian ? Highly recommend!”
12. Yasmin M.
“She was soo helpful and is so diligent!! Today I was so stuck and I totally wrote my whole calendar day down wrong. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate. I won’t do that often but I’m so grateful”
13. Stacey W.
“Stacey has taken care of my dog and 5 cats since June 2024, when I moved to Des Moines. Every weekend she has cared for them. Stacey makes sure all the pets have food and water. She scoops all the litter boxes. She gives my dog her medications and takes her for walks. She send me updates and pictures. She is very dependable. I never have I worry who is going to take care of everyone while I’m gone at work.”
14. Christina C.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!
15. Andrea M.
“Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.”
16. Lacey S.
“Lacey was excellent with my Australian Shepards! She kept me updated and informed on their walks and care. She even was able to help assess how to provide special care for the smaller one who is a bit timid and easily bossed by big sister! Thank you so much Laceyn I felt like my pets were being loved even while I was away! Will book again 💯”
