“My first time using rover and Samantha was so great to work with. Easy to communicate with and my pup had the best day with her! He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing in her big back yard. Will absolutely use Samantha again!!”
“My sometimes anxious blue heeler had never done daycare before, and Savannah and her husband were so great with him! I will definitely reach out to them again if he needs daycare in the future.”
“My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.”
“Andrea was a great communicator and I appreciated how responsive she was. Monte seemed really happy when I picked him up and I am sure we will be in touch with Andrea soon for future daycare/boarding opportunities.”
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time but my day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends are definitely doable as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.
“I was in DSM for a short trip and needed a last minute sitter for my dog Louie and was so lucky to find Kevin had availability to take him for a whole day. I didn’t have time to do a meet and greet, I just trusted the reviews he already had and they are all on point. From start to finish Kevin was responsive, respectful and responsible with me and my dog. I would trust him over and over if I lived in DSM. Highly recommended!”
About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!
“Jaden has an obvious love for dogs! He is very knowledgeable about handling different breeds and handling them together. Jaden went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my boy Duke's special needs. I wish I never had to be without my bud, but when I do I will leave him with someone like Jaden!”
“My Venus had an incredible day with two other frenchie pups! Miss Alice is so sweet and took excellent care of my baby girl while we visited Des Moines for the first time! Can't recommend her enough!”
About: NOTE: I work weekdays throughout the school year. Still available, but pets will be at home without me on weekdays for about 7 hours. I have owned and cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for small dogs <25 pounds all the way up to large sized Great Danes > 200 pounds. I have been fostering dogs for Safe Paws Iowa for the past 3 years. I am available for a large portion of the summer because I only coach softball outside of the school year. I am very active and would love to share that energy with dogs! Walking, jogging, or just playing in the doggy pool is no issue at all. I currently have two dogs of my own. They can play all together or be kept separated! I also have experience giving dogs meds as some of the dogs in my care have different long term conditions. Can’t wait to meet your precious pups! Please contact me if you have any remaining questions! I am mostly free over the summer and weekends. I run errands or make plans outside of when I’m taking care of pets. Pet care is my priority while hosting! I have a fenced in yard, my own dogs to join in play if wanted, I have gates/doors and a finished lower level where I can separate dogs if need be, and have multiple kennels. I allow my dogs on furniture, but can follow owner house rules.
“Very accommodating on very short notice. Paige took great care of Cricket while I dealt with an emergency with another pet and I was able to rest easy that Cricket was in good hands!”

About: 👋Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. From the moment I was born, I’ve had a deep and genuine love for animals, especially dogs. While many of my peers spent their school years babysitting, I was happily focused on dog walking and pet sitting.

I understand that entrusting someone with your beloved pet can feel daunting, but if you choose me, you can rest assured that I’ll not only build a strong connection with your furry family member, but also with you. Reliability, respect, and attention to detail are at the heart of my approach. I follow your care preferences closely and treat every animal as if they were my own, providing love, safety, and companionship. If you’re looking for a dependable, enthusiastic pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs, I’d be honored to care for your pup! I have a very flexible remote work schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet. Together, we’ll create a personalized care plan based on your preferences, ensuring your pet stays on the exact routine and schedule you want. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities! I own my home and have a large, pet-friendly yard, providing plenty of space for your dog to play and relax. Before any booking, we’ll discuss in detail exactly what you want for your pet’s care, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, meeting special needs, or just making sure they get all the snuggles and love they deserve. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy and safe, while giving you complete peace of mind. Snuggles, playtime, and affection are always included!

She was able to safely rehome a few, she still has the rest, plus a few babies. Shaelea is very patient and caring. She has had a daycare business, in her home, for 9 years.

Megan A.
“Megan does a wonderful job handling other's four legged loved ones. She has over 15 years of experience outside of owning her own pets, from volunteering at a young age at animal shelters to being apart of various rescue organizations today. One attribute that has stood out over time is her natural disposition to sense how an animal is feeling and utilize great, often common sense, instincts on what actions to take to safely handle any situation that maximizes the safety for both her and the animal(s) she is caring for. I wholeheartedly endorse Megan as a walker of all pets. She would do the job safely, beyond standards, and with genuine care.”
