Pet Sitting in Des Moines

“Thank you Monica for taking care of my kitties while we were out of town. We could tell in the pictures that they really like you and looked calm and happy.”

“First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!”

“Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!”

“Excellent service! I came back home to a happy and energetic dog. I would recommend to anyone interested in quality service for their companion.”

“Jessica is amazing. I had flight troubles and had to add trips. she covered for me without any problems and played with my pup even in sub freezing temps. If I have to go on a trip without my pup again I will be calling Jessica right up”

“Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!”

“Brad was able to help me out on short notice ~ I super appreciate it! Thanks much for taking care of Abby , I know she loves your long walks🐕”

“Our cats are still warming up to the idea of people and tend to hide (even from us on some days), but Nichole did her best to win them over anyway. It gave me great peace of mind to know the person checking on them was so attentive, even if the cats themselves weren't enthusiastic about a new friend. Thanks so much!”

“Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.”

About: I grew up with two dogs and absolutely love dogs. I have experience with all different sizes. I love playing with dogs, petting them and walking them. I am currently a grad student at Drake University and a have Fridays off. I also have some day time availability when we don’t have classes. I will respect the wishes of the clients home. I will respect their boundaries and keep their pet safe the entire time. I will follow all rules provided by the client.

About: I have been blessed by kitties since I was 8 years old, having lived with eight so far over my life and said goodbye to five. I have had three puppy dogs, a shorkie raised from a puppy, a shy and previously abused pibble, and our senior German Shepherd/Siberian Husky baby. I have been able to be there for fur children when they crossed the rainbow bridge, both my babies and babies that I found injured in the road who deserved a better fate. I have experience administering oral medication to dogs and cats and brushing and trimming the nails of willing cats. I have senior dog experience including lifting medium size dogs into vehicles and onto beds, patience with their toileting and occasional accidents, and finding innovative ways to convince them to take their medication. I have potty trained and socialized a puppy as well. I work from home and am taking some time to reevaluate my business and next career so I am generally available during the day on weekdays. I am presently not available before 9:00 am as I have a standing appointment in the mornings. I am periodically available in the evenings and weekends. Please check my schedule for availability. I care for pets in others' homes in a manner that ensures that their pets are safe first and foremost, which includes locating all animals during my visit (even those kitties that like to hide), ensuring that nothing has been disrupted that could cause harm, and making sure they have access to fresh water, toilet, and food. I follow instructions from the client and ask for clarification if needed. I do my best to leave their home in the same state it was in when they left it. I am presently not caring for others' pets in my home as my cats seem to prefer to keep our household at our current number of members.
