House Sitting in Capitol Park, Des Moines, IA

“Second time using Allison and I absolutely trust that my dogs are happy and safe in her care. She truly goes above and beyond, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m away on vacation. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Daniel was amazing! He agreed to watch Jc last minute which was a huge blessing! I would 100% recommend Daniel as he made sure Jc felt safe and loved!”

“Christina did a fantastic job watching the house and dogs! The dogs were well taken care of, all the instructions were followed, and she was very conscientious with respect to watching the house. Highly recommend!”

“Jane was great with our two cats, who are not best friends so their cat politics can be a challenge sometimes. They were happy and calm when we got home, and they really enjoyed enrichment and having human and puppy company around. She took great care of our home and made sure to ask for clarification on any household things to check on as well. Thank you, Jane. Being gone is so much easier when you know your fur buddies are well taken care of.”

Kristin B.

“Stacey did so great with my dogs. One of my dogs is extremely afraid of strangers but instantly approached Stacey during or initial meet and greet. Will definitely be using Stacey again!”

Noah B.

“Yasmin was amazing with my dog Susie! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of. Great communication and so kind! I’ll definitely use her again 😊”

Lexi R.

“Anthony and Mackenzie were great! We loved getting all the photos and videos of our pups enjoying their sleepover with their new friends and the pups really seemed to enjoy their weekend. They are so relaxed and exhausted that we know they had a great time. Would definitely use these guys again!”

About: ***For boarding/house-sitting I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be with me for any bookings*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments. He's house-trained and does not shed and very friendly with other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

“I appreciated Nadine sending me updates and pics of my dogs. One of my dogs is very skittish and scared, I know that couldn’t have been easy. But I know he was still well taken care of! I would book her again!”

“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”

Lacey M.

“Fabulous! Meghan went above and beyond caring for our spoiled pups.”

Samantha A.

“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”

Erica M.

“Katherine did a great job watching all of our animals. She was able to handle multiple days and nights with multiple pets and could handle complex instructions and gave them the best care. Would definately use again”

Dana G.

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

Kyly N.

“Aaliyah was so sweet and took great care of our dog! She regularly sent updates and photos, and left our home cleaner than it was when she got there. I cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for three big dogs for years, so I understand the energy, strength, and love that come with larger breeds. I’m patient, confident, and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and body language to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in college, so my schedule is flexible and allows me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy — it’s a great balance to my classes and daily routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime, I make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and walks, and always have fresh water. I also keep their space clean and cozy, and give them lots of attention and affection so they feel safe while their owners are away. I respect each home and follow any specific instructions to make sure everything stays just how you like it.

“Sophia is so good with our older cat and dog. When we added our older cat to our family she didn’t blink and just cared for and loved our old boy. She is very accommodating to our travel schedules as well.”
