Dog Walkers in Colfax, IA

About: I love to be around dogs. They make me relaxed and happy. I think petting a dog and having them by you, lowers your blood pressure and keeps you active and happy. I have been a pet owner for seventeen years and have experience with big and small dogs. I am available to help you take care of your pets, and will take care of them as if they were my own! I work fulltime and I am looking for some extra funds to help with my kids expenses. I have a son and daughter 19 and 16. So they are very expensive!!! I also would love some extra funds to help with my own travel and fun. I live in the Clive area, so I am close to West Des Moines, Adel, Johnston and Urbandale. But I can get to anywhere else pretty fast as well.

About: I've had pets all my life and would love to care for yours too, on a temporary basis. I love to vacation and often struggle with finding a solution for my babies while I'm gone. For me my favorite choice is to have someone I know and trust stay in my home but there's hardly ever anyone available for that kind of commitment! I thought it would be awesome to be able to provide that kind of care for someone else: house/pet sitting, drop-in, or just walks/exercise. I want you to know your pets are loved and treated with gentle kindness. I recognize that I'm kind of a stranger to your babies and I'll treat them like my own and earn their trust! They'll be loved and cared for in a way that will make your absence less stressful for them and as much like their normal days as it can be while you're away. I take my responsibilities to others extremely seriously and won't be satisfied unless you are! I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability on weekdays and weekends both. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are fine by mutual agreement. I enjoy taking find for walks or just playing outside in the yard. On days where weather is bad, I'm happy to get the dogs outside to do their business and then play a bit indoors!

About: I have worked with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, I strive to provide the best experience for not only the pet but the pet parent as well! I have experience working at the Animal Rescue League alongside my own animals and friends and families animals I’m an open availability sitter I will always put the needs of someone’s animals at the forefront of anything! I have all the time and attention in the world to give your babies I love taking my boys on walks, to the park, and love giving them a variety of enrichment throughout the day! We love exploring and trying new things at a comfortable pace for the animal! I can also follow a schedule and I’m flexible with whatever the pet parent needs to give the most ful filling service

“Ella is incredible! She’s great with my golden retriever and my pup warmed up to her right away. She was even kind enough to bring a package in when she stopped by for the walk!”

About: I love animals! I was the go to neighborhood pet sitter as a kid, and have enjoyed so many dogs and cats over the years. I'm a stay at home mom to older children. I love walks and enjoy the challenge to wear high energy dogs out in all seasons! I will follow your specific care and/or exercise instructions to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and well loved while you are away.

About: I have degrees in Animal Science and Animal Nutrition, as well as several years of experience caring for animals of all kinds in home, medical, and educational settings. I worked for a few years as a veterinary assistant during college so I am comfortable working with animals with medical needs. I previously worked for Hill's Pet Nutrition caring for 100-200 dogs in their canine facility every day, making sure they live their best life! I helped care for our 2 family dogs growing up, I currently have my own cat named Winifred, and I also have experience as a volunteer pet sitter while I was in college. There is no dog too big or too small, I love them all! And I would love to help you care for your furry family member. I work fully remote, so I can easily bring my work with me and spend most of my time with your pets. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm able to adjust as needed. As long as I know the important people, places, and things in and around your home, I can navigate taking care of your pets in their own space providing a routine that its similar to what they're used to while you're away!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since middle school and became a proud dog mom over 5 years ago. My two miniature dachshunds are my whole world; I truly couldn’t imagine life without them. I’ll treat your pups like my own, giving them all the love, care, and attention they deserve as one of their new best friends. Reach out to give your fur babies the highest level of care, straight from the heart ❤️ I am currently in between jobs and have a lot of free time on my hands! Aside from appointments and interviews, I can make most times work for whatever kind of pet care you need! I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep yours company. Whether your pets stay with me or I come to you, they’ll get my full attention and loving care, so you can relax knowing they’re safe and happy!

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

About: I have spent a lot of time caring for puppies and senior animals and everything in between. I enjoy the differences in all different animals. I am currently not working during the weekends and am free to spend lots of time with your pets. We love to be active and to cuddle whichever your pet enjoys. I have a 6 foot privacy fenced backyard and a friendly 3 year old boxer. My cats do their own thing and have little interest in other animals.

“Karissa did a great job walking my dog Dayna and making her feel safe and comfortable and I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone who treats there pet as their own!”

About: Hi, I’m Ireland! Growing up with dogs, I have years of firsthand experience in caring for them, from feeding and grooming to basic training, and being CPR & FIRST AID Certified making me the perfect fit for any medical emergency that might occur. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets—I am dedicated to ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-attended to. I prioritize meeting each pet’s needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I understand that every pet has its own personality and requirements, and I take the time to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and treated with kindness. I’m majoring in Animal Ecology and this summer I have online classes so I will be more available than I am in fall, winter, and spring. On weekends, I travel home to care for my family’s animals, further reinforcing my commitment to animal welfare. I love to make sure that your pet feels at home even when away from home, I can mimic your daily schedule as best as possible and provide as many or as little updates as you wish! Whether it's every other day or every hour, I'll make it happen. There's no smoking or any sort of paraphernalia allowed in my home, as my family has a history of health issues.

“ANGIE DID GREAT WALKING BO. WILL DEFINATELY USE HER AGAIN.”

I care for each pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a stress-free, safe experience for you and your pet!
