Dog Walking In Downtown Des Moines

“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!”

“Madi has been such a blessing!! I’m new to the area and didn’t have anyone I trusted with Mila as she can be reactive, but after reading Madi’s bio and seeing her interact with Mila during the meet and greet, I knew it would be a great fit! Very responsive, super friendly, and Mila absolutely loves her 😊”

“Carly was amazing with my boy Murphy! She was very diligent to ensure my requests for Murphy were upheld. She would message me and see whether I wanted Murphy left out or kenneled. She was constantly giving updates and for that I am thankful. I would recommend Carly to anyone seeking someone to care for their dog!”

“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: 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.

About: I have been taking care of a dog almost all of college. I have also been taking care of my 15 year old cat for most of college as well. She was recently diagnosed with thyroid disease so that has been another obstacle that we have had to work through caring for her! I grew up around animals and was an only child so I was the one that had to take care of our dogs and cats growing up. I love taking dogs on walks and cuddling with any dog possible! I look forward to working with you and your fur-baby soon! I am currently working very part-time as I wait to move states to continue on with school and attend nursing school. I will be home quite a bit during the weeks and have a very flexible schedule especially during the days! I have one puppy myself that will keep any of your fur-babies busy! I also have an elder cat that loves to chill and lounge. I take the dogs out on a leash everytime I let them out and will tend to usually take them on a short walk during every potty break.

About: I got my first pet in 2018, a Dutch Rabbit named Oreo. Since then I’ve fallen in love with animals and now have a dog and leopard gecko! When away from school I spend most of my time either at home with my pets... or outside with my pets. I’m available any time or day. I have a lot of energy that I love to dedicate towards animals. Whether I’m feeding or playing with your animal, I make sure they’re safe and have fun!

“Kal was amazing. Their warmth for animals is wildly understated. They knew all the things to do to get my boy to be more cooperative and sweet. Kal was reliable and intuitive - both incredibly important when working with temperamental little pups. Kal will be my first choice on Rover next time.”

About: Dogs and cats are my first priority whenever I'm over at a friend or family member's house. My brother had asthma so we re-homed our dog Sylvie when I was seven years old--I have some very dramatic journal articles from that time! So, whenever I got to be around pets, I gave them as much of my attention as they were interested in. I am now lucky enough to have my own dog (Shannon, the goldendoodle in my profile picture) but can never get enough time with dogs and cats!! Over the summer my schedule is relatively flexible, so if your dog needs a walk or your cat needs to be fed at any time throughout the day, I should be able to make it work! My goal is to maintain your pet's routine as much as possible! I can spend one-on-one time with them, take them out, or just check on them as the situation requires.

About: Animals should be treated like the family they are. I have a full acre with multiple secure fences for your animals to play around in. Any animal that loves being pet will get a lot of attention! They deserve to be treated with love and respect because they are apart of your family and are very important. I am a stay at home mom and that gives me a lot of flexibility with timing and scheduling. I am a stay at home mom so I have time to play with your dog and relax with them. They will be outside for a good part of the day with me as long as they want to be. There is plenty of shade as well as water available. There are two fences in place so your dog is really secure. There will always be water available as well as shade. If the weather is bad, or they prefer to be inside most of the day, the downstairs has enough room to run around a bit and is comfortable with a bed and water for them.

About: Hi, I'm Alison! I have always had a deep and compassionate bond with animals. I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, rodents and fish that really molded me into the animal lover I am today. I have years of experience in animal rescue, having fostered dogs and cats of all ages and backgrounds, as well as professional experience with in-home and facility pet care. I am experienced with administering medication, whether it be insulin shots, inhalers, or pills. Currently, I am the proud Mom to one stubborn old Pitbull and three cats. To me, pets are family. They are deserving of love, respect, kindness, and a fulfilling life. Every client I work with is treated with the same level of attention and care that I would give to my own pets. Currently available for doggie daycare on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available for walks and drop-ins daily. Boarding is available on an as needed basis Having detailed instructions for accessing your home and your pets resources is very helpful. I can best care for your pet when I know exactly where things are and how to access them, as well as how to approach and interact with your pet!

“Thank you. I appreciate you being available at such a short notice.”

About: I have walked dogs of all sizes with different health needs. I like to learn your dogs routine and make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I also like to send pictures of the walk if you like. I'm very safety conscious and attentive to surroundings when walking dogs. I really like to become friends with the dogs and get to know their unique personalities. I have an open schedule to work around your pets needs. I can help with last minute needs if you have schedule changes or emergencies. I keep a structure/routine so the dogs/cats know what to expect. I make sure my home is dog proofed and safe for animals. I only board one family's pets at a time so there is no issue with animals not getting along.

“Tori did a great job watching our dog while we were traveling. Our dog really bonded with her. She also left the house clean and tidy. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands.”

About: I graduated from the University of Minnesota and currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to take on dog-sitting opportunities. I’ve spent my entire life around dogs of all breeds and sizes, and many people in my life would call me the biggest dog lover they know. My family has always had dogs, and they currently have three: Zoey, a 2-year-old Rat Terrier, Rocky, a 4-year-old Lab, and Bella, a 9-year-old Rat Terrier. As a dog sitter, I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for every dog I look after. I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and focus on providing attentive, reliable care so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m familiar with bathroom routines, feeding schedules, and making sure pets get the right balance of play and rest. I understand how important consistency is and can be trusted to administer medications on time when needed. I also have experience with special needs pets, including caring for a blind dog in my own family for many years. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe, comfortable environment where every pet feels secure and well cared for.
