Cat Sitting in Des Moines

“Mary went above and beyond to make sure my cat was well cared for while we were away. She even let me know an item was out. She paid attention to details and gave detailed notes and bonded with my cat. So awesome”

“Jon was great while we were away - we had an emergency and he made time to go over and check on the cats at an unscheduled time. He gave updates every time of what he did and sent photos. Even brought out mail in while we were away which was really appreciated.”

“Tiana was wonderful — the best cat-sitter we’ve ever had! One of our cats is very shy around strangers and she was still able to give him his pills. This was such a relief to us. She also gave our diabetic cat her shots twice a day. Tiana was very caring and reliable. She sent us updates and pictures with every visit, which we loved. And she spent time with the cats and gave them pets and did everything we could have hoped to make sure they were well taken care of.”

“Elisa walks and feeds my dog a couple times a week and I've been happy with her service. My dog even gets excited when I tell him she's coming over.”

“Eileen took great care of our kitties!! She communicated well during her drop ins and made efforts to get our shy guys to come out and play. We look forward to working with her again in the future. Thanks, Eileen!!”

“Larcy did a great job with our 2 cats while we were gone for 5 days. She sent multiple updates and pictures so that we knew they were all taken care of. Will be using her services again in the future!”

About: Everyone around me has cats and dogs but I've never had my own. I'm always looking to spend time with them when I can. I've helped looked after a chihuahua for about a year now. I'm currently working hybrid full time. I'm available Mondays and Fridays from 4:30pm - 8:00pm. I'm free Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6:00pm - 8:00pm. I'm usually free all day on Sundays. Available for requests on Saturdays. I am observant and will give your pets the attention they'd like. If they want to play, I'd love to play with them. If they want to be left alone, I can do that as well. I'd be happy to help them in any way.

About: I’m passionate about caring for furry friends of all kinds. I’ve been a dog sitter for my sister's 2 dogs (toy poodle and aussie) for the past year whenever they go on vacation. Each pet is unique, and I love taking the time to understand their individual needs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. Before diving into professional pet sitting, I was the proud dad of three wonderful cats. My feline trio taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the joy that comes from unconditional love. While cats and dogs have their differences, my experience has given me a deep appreciation for all pets and the ability to adapt to their specific needs and quirks. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just providing companionship, I’m here to make sure your beloved dog feels cared for and cherished while you’re away. You can count on me to treat them as if they were my own. I have a full time job weekdays until 3:30pm so I can be wherever I need to be depending on the location around 4pm-4:30pm and will always love to care or play with a pet after a work. also free pretty much anytime during the weekend When I take care of your pet, you can trust that I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I will brush, play, feed, and love them like they are my own while taking care of them. Whether it’s tossing their favorite toy, ensuring they’re well-fed, or giving them plenty of cuddles and attention, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy.

“Nicole was awesome in every aspect! She came over to meet our cat prior to the scheduled visits to make sure they were ok with each other. Nicole followed every instruction perfectly and was very communicative when things came up with our cat. Extremely grateful to have her care for our cat while we were away on holiday.”

“Johnny is such an incredible find! When he's watched our dog, we know our pooch is in just the best hands--with someone who's genuinely delighted to be around him and who welcomes him in as part of the family. Every time he stays over at Johnny's place, we get the sweetest pictures of him enjoying his time with Scotti and Theo, Johnny's two dogs. He is attentive and active--they have a big back yard to play in and even get out and about in parks around them. I HIGHLY recommend Johnny as an excellent dogsitter!”

“I`ve been a friend of Brandon for a couple of years now,and would trust him around any dog he has responsibility for . He`s taken care of my own dog on several occasions, and had no issues whatsoever. I know he has the right temperament and lots of patience with peoples pets. He`s familiar with large and small breeds, and would be a great pet sitter to anyone who needs his services. My own dog loves having him around, and I`m sure other dogs will, too.”

About: Dogs have been in and out of my life throughout the years, and I love having mans best friend hanging around. I am looking for canine playmates and can provide unconditional love, a lot of attention, and caring that only a dog lover can provide during visits. I have a daytime job Monday-Friday. I generally leave for work at 8:30 a.m., and get home at 5:30 p.m. Weekends are completely open. I have transportation large enough to bring canine guests where needed, if needed as well. Multiple breeds are welcome just as long as they are trained and listen to commands. I’m currently working full time in Tacoma. I can care for pets before and after work on weekdays. Weekends are completely open at this time. I try to play with the pets while house sitting. Walks, feeding, treats, and any medication administration provided. I cuddle and talk with the pets.

“Can’t recommend Elizabeth enough! She was so amazing with our precious girl and was very attentive and always on time while giving so much love and affection to Lulu.”

“Gino was very nice and professional. Offered to do a quick meet and greet before the first visit in order to meet the dog and learn how to get in the house and everything. Took photos and kept us updated through the visit. Would recommend.”

About: I grew up in a household that was full of all kinds of animals! I’ve had probably anything you could possibly think of and my friends call me their version of a “crazy chicken lady” 🤩 I’ve worked in a few different animal/pet jobs and they have always taught me so much important information but also make me happy! I have experience with not only dogs and cats but also different small animals (ferrets, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hedgehogs), aquatic pets (fresh water fish, axolotls and other aquatic creatures), reptiles (turtles, bearded dragons), chickens! One day I’ll have my own farm! 🤩 Im currently working full time at a dog grooming salon and finishing my last prerequisite for nursing school! Working with dogs every day has truly made an impact in my life in a positive way which is why im wanting to work with dogs on my off days! Getting to spend time with animals fills my life with so much joy! Due to my dogs being kennel trained, I can easily crate your dog if needed so that’s no problem! I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and letting them feel free and cuddling with cats on the couch! I love interacting with the animals and letting them play with toys (we all know cats and those active dog breeds need a lot of active stimulation or they drive us nuts right!). If your animal has a specific routine, eating schedule or medications, I am willing to learn and adapt to your routine-mine have their own so I understand!

About: I have worked in a vet office assisting the vet tech with animals. I can play, walk, brush, bath, give meds to your pet. I've done house sitting for an old neighbor. She had 2 senior dogs that I stayed with while she was gone. I provided meds, food, love to her dogs. I'm currently volunteering at Mystic Mountian pet resort. I've only have been there for a short while but I have loved working with animals again. I will be there over the busy holiday weeks. So far at Mystic mountianI have not ran into one dog that does not like me. We love the pets that come and stay with us. I have a love and passion for animals and would love to work with your dog.

“Kelly would be a great caregiver for your pet. She has always been a responsible pet owner and she loves animals as much as people! She is very easy to get along with and would treat your pet as her own.”

“I highly recommend Alexie as a pet caregiver and a dog trainer. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and has a genuine love for animals. My babies were always happy and well-cared for in her hands!! 💓”

“Hanna was so amazing with our animals! We loved the photos she sent everyday (-: She even managed to get our scaredy cat to love her which is a huge accomplishment! She went above and beyond with our animals and I will definitely use her services next time I go on a trip (-:”
