Dog Walking Cheatom Park

About: Hello! I am an avid dog and cat lover. I often watch my family and friends pets but aside from that I managed a cageless doggy daycare for 3 years. I own two senior cats myself. I am attentive and flexible. Always available to do meet and greet in person or over the phone prior to my services <3 helps me and your animals get an acquainted! I currently own my own business that allows me plenty of free time. I’m available most days and nights on short notice. Happy to accommodate any schedule. I do travel out of state quite a bit for my job but I will let you know immediately if my schedule were to change. I have first hand experience in handling all sizes of dogs and temperaments. Including training with dog aggressive dogs. I have experience in administering meds and first aid for both cats & dogs.

“Hannah was a very nice lady! My dog, who is a barker, didn't bark at her the 1st time she came to walk him. That there says something about the person she is. Her promptness and great communication made things easy peasy! We won't hesitate to request her dog services again. Thanks Hannah!”

About: My family had dogs growing up so I have some experience walking and playing with dogs. I also have had my cats for about 7 years. I work from home Wednesdays and Fridays and could easily stop in for check ins during those days. I love to go on walks to grays lake so definitely looking for a dog or two to take with me. I would prefer a set of rules for my clients pets so I would know best how to service their pet while they are away.

“Corey was timely, communicative, and friendly. Cory responded to a last minute request quickly, and with a lot of Grace and openness. I am very grateful for Cory's service and look forward to booking with him in the future!”

“Molly has been providing us with walks and doggie day care for a number of weeks. She is always reliable, professional, and puntual! We're very glad to have her help giving our dog Ezio the exercise, care, and company he deserves while my spouse and I both work full-time at an office. She clearly knows what she's doing when taking care of pets.”

“Brad did a great job walking our Mini-American Shepherd last week. He was on time and patient with our bundle of energy dog. Appreciate the good work!”

Cassandra H.

“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. They have been some of my best friends. I love dogs and I love walking — why not combine them to help take care of your much-loved pet? I am newly retired and am looking for a fun, active way to spend my time. I can shape my schedule around my dog and cat care demands. This makes me available and flexible to you. I can come to your home to walk, feed, and play with your pet. You are the boss and I follow your wants and needs.

“Drew is wonderful!! So accommodating with my schedule, where my dog will be day-to-day, and super sweet with Yukon! Responsive, responsible, and friendly. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have a young German shepherd mix who is my world. We go on walks often and I would love to help with anyone who has a busy schedule or needs some extra help with their dogs! Early morning, evening and weekend availability! I work from home and am with my own dog all day. I have time all day to be with pets. I can walk dogs, dog sit, and house sit. More than happy and able to follow any specific needs or accommodate any special preferences. Just let me know!

About: I have had pets for my whole life, whether that be hamsters, fish, dogs, cats, bunnies, and even wildlife who need extra support to get back into their habitat. I have tons of experience with different kinds of dogs. I have had my dogs since they were puppies all the way to the end of their lives, which gives me knowledge about each of the stages of pet’s lives. I also have volunteered at a dog shelter for 6+ years, so I have experience working with reactive dogs to dogs who are extremely timid and shy. I can guarantee that I have seen all kinds of personalities between all kinds of animals. I also have worked with cats at the shelter, which also gives me insight on the way cats can be which could range from very sassy (like my cat Benny lol!), to the sweetest cats. Along with those experiences with different personalities, I have lots of experiences with injured animals and have had exposure to treating wounds/minor injuries in animals. I have had to learn how to treat my dog’s diabetes since she was recently diagnosed, and have accommodated my lifestyle to fit her needs as a diabetic. I also have learned how to manage an obese dog’s weight into a healthier weight. Overall, I have grown up surrounded by animals and have seen an abundance of different situations within different kinds of animals!! I currently attend a university in the Des Moines metro and will be commuting from my home to school. This ensures that I have time to go back and forth between my house and school, which will allow me to make frequent trips to check on the pet. I also live with my parents who work from home, so there will always be someone watching the pet and ensuring that everything is going well. I get off from school around noon every day, so that will allow me to go back home and spend the rest of the afternoon with the pet and pay full attention towards them!! In my home, I am responsible for feeding, bathing, cleaning after, and spending time with all of my pets. I have learned how to trim nails, properly bathe a pet, treat one of my dogs that has diabetes, and clean wounds when a pet gets injured. I have been able to experience many situations with pets and stay calm during an accident. I am willing to do anything to accommodate any pet because they deserve to have a life of luxury, just like us! I am also committed to ensuring that any client who has special accommodations for their pets gets those wishes granted and will do everything in my power to make sure the pet has a great time with me!!

“Did such a good job with our 3 year old dog and our 3 month old puppy! Have a very detailed report (and many pictures!) at the end of the walk and got the pups all settled in with a few treats at the end. He went above and beyond!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, of all shapes and sizes. I love all animals. I’ve grown up with working dogs, big dogs, feral cats, farm animals, horses, and everything in between. I am always willing to go for midday lunch walks (in the Ankeny/Polk City area) or weekend check ins in the metro, while you are out and about being social. My husband 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 or weekends in the Highland Park/Saylor TWP/Beaverdale areas, but willing to venture out into the metro. 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. I’ve worked with highly trained dogs, and will honor any and all training your dogs follows.

About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me. I worked in nursing for several years before leaving to care for my father full time.between that and being a mom giving love and care comes easy. I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and love a bit of play time. I am a big believer in fresh air and exercise. Let's get those steps in for your 4 legged family member. I don't work a regular job, I care for my elderly father and do some side work here and there. So I am available for walking or drop in visits at a moments notice. I have a fenced in yard and food and treats at the ready. Many leashes and brushes and more. I have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with each other and yours too. I can also keep my dogs away if yours isn't socialized to others.
