Robert is doing a great job walking our puppy and helping her constructively burn off some puppy energy. He’s a very nice person and great with dogs.

Cory is matter-of-fact, flexible, and a good energy for our hyper lab mix. We were able to schedule an additional walk during our vacation which we really appreciated. We received updates each time he stopped by. Big fan!

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, 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/Beaverdale areas. Some nights he may even join if he’s home. 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.

Trusting someone with your dog can be hard but Kay-lea has made it very easy. Super friendly and professional! She treats my dog like her own, and that is unbeatable. Highly recommend.

Kent is amazing! He goes above and beyond for my dog. He is an excellent communicator and keeps me informed with anything I may need to know about my dog. He cares deeply for animals and is so trustworthy and genuine. I highly recommend Kent and we are so lucky we found him!

Loved using these two as our dog walkers! I did not meet them in person, but the interaction between texts and pictures were very prompt, genuine and kept us up to date with the pups. Thank you again and looking forward to using your services again!

About: I have had dogs my entire life. That’s a long time! I assure you your dog would be in good hands! I will love them like they were mine! I stay home now so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m willing to go to your home if it’s not to far away. Just ask I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs. One has a crate and one doesn’t. They both sleep where they want. I crate one only sometimes.

Brad was amazing with our dog! He was incredibly conscious and respectful about maintaining any routines and training we had already established with our dog and was great with our sometimes unruly boy! I was very impressed with how communicative he was and took very well composed and extremely cute photos to send us! I would absolutely recommend Brad!

About: I’m a dog owner of two and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and energy levels. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I provide reliable walks and drop-in visits to keep your pet happy and comfortable in their own space. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own—with consistent updates while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to play with your pups. Caring for pets fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I already care for my own two dogs. I’m used to planning my days around walks, feeding schedules, and playtime, so adding additional visits is something I genuinely enjoy. I stay organized and make sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. I care for pets in their home by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention based on their needs and energy level. I’m attentive to behavior and make sure they’re safe at all times. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

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 have grown up with dogs all my life! I do have a pup of my own, but am still sitting for those that are in need and don’t mind another dog in the home! I am also doing dog-walks and pop-ins! I work from home so your pup wont be alone. Weekends are usually open. I love all sizes and can’t help but spoil any one I meet! I have experience with both small and larger dogs. I would love to walk or jog with your pet, even if it is cold outside depending on what they can handle. Feel free to message me with any questions! I work for myself and from home so I am able to adjust my work schedule pretty well. No dogs have needed to be kenneled while working. I have a pup of my own that loves to play with others. If they do not get along, I have a gate at that can keep them separate-although I have not had this issue yet. We have a big crate that can home your pup when we are out of the house.

About: I’ve always had a special heart for all animals, especially cats and dogs. I’ve taken a training course with my dog on how to make walking more enjoyable (no pulling) so each time we go on walks it’s not stressful. I would love to walk and hang out with your pets! I would love to help you and your family out with your fur babies, whether that’s walking them, stopping by and showing them some love and letting them outside, or even hanging out on the couch with them and giving them snuggles and treats. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask! Thanks - Jada I work from home 5 days a week, which gives me the flexibility to stop by or walk your doggy at any time of day. I will always be extra cautious with your pet, the same way I'd want someone to treat my dog. Your fur baby will always be in good hands!

About: Hi, I’m Shane! Calm, steady walker who keeps things simple and safe. I’ve spent my whole life around animals, and I’m the kind of person who pays attention to the small things: body language, pacing, comfort, and routine. I like to consider myself patient, predictable, and confident, and that’s exactly how I approach every walk and visit. I’m available throughout the week and flexible with timing. If you want someone dependable who communicates clearly and treats your dog like an individual, I’d love to meet you and your pup! I currently care for multiple dogs and cats at home, so I’m used to feeding schedules, meds, crates, and different personalities. If your dog has special needs or quirks, I’m happy to follow your routine exactly.

I cannot recommend Kassy enough. My dog Roo is very shy and it takes a few extra steps for him to feel comfortable with someone. I am so thankful for her patience with Roo. She truly cares about him as if he were her own and for that, I am so grateful.
