Dog Walking Downtown Des Moines

About: I go by Emmy, by the way! Life-long animal lover and owner. I am currently spoiling two dogs, two gerbils, and a planted tank of various aquatic wildlife but have also had lizards and other rodents in the past. I have been mom to dogs who have lived to be 16 and some who lived to be 5 due to various ailments. I discovered I enjoy taking care of special needs dogs and give them the best life they can dream of, especially if they have a tough go before they come to me. I home make dog food, drive my dogs in their car seats for weekly pupcups, and have weekly spa days where I make them smell less stinky. As long as I can fit my own personal daily needs and routines, I can fit watching your pets or house whenever it is needed. One of my dogs is currently in training to get along with stranger dogs, so I will need to do drop bys (no outside animals in my home for now). In their own home, I would just stick to the routine as closely as possible. I also don't like just running in and out, I will give your pet all the love and attention while I'm there. I can also be a pet taxi.

“Hannah was a very nice lady! My dog, who is a barker, didn't bark at her the 1st time she came to walk him. That there says something about the person she is. Her promptness and great communication made things easy peasy! We won't hesitate to request her dog services again. Thanks Hannah!”

“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: My family had dogs growing up so I have some experience walking and playing with dogs. I also have had my cats for about 7 years. I work from home Wednesdays and Fridays and could easily stop in for check ins during those days. I love to go on walks to grays lake so definitely looking for a dog or two to take with me. I would prefer a set of rules for my clients pets so I would know best how to service their pet while they are away.

“Shelbi was very sweet and was great with my dog! Would definitely book with her again”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. They have been some of my best friends. I love dogs and I love walking — why not combine them to help take care of your much-loved pet? I am newly retired and am looking for a fun, active way to spend my time. I can shape my schedule around my dog and cat care demands. This makes me available and flexible to you. I can come to your home to walk, feed, and play with your pet. You are the boss and I follow your wants and needs.

“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!”

“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.”

“Our corgi Millie loves when Molly comes to let her out! I always know Millie will be well taken care or. Molly is extremely accommodating to schedule changes and when we were out of town and was locked out of the house was willing to still come back and let Millie out!”

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.

“Rachael is a gem!! Bobbie Sue adores her, and it is great to be able to trust someone with my pet. She spends extra time with Bobbie Sue and really appreciates her job🌞❤️. Always love the photos she takes 🌞❤️”

“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!”

“It’s clear Meghan enjoys dogs - she loves on Winnie as much as I would! I know she’s getting plenty of love and attention when she’s spending time with Meghan.”

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.

About: I've had dogs my whole life growing up! From puppies to elderly dogs I have experience caring for their needs. I've overnight dog-sat for friends and neighbors and it's been great! I have a ton of free time as I'm home before starting law school! Im completely free during the day and some nights. I do work as a server 3-4 nights a week but the shifts are quite short. I give lots of cuddles, love, and walks! I'm really getting into my fitness so dog walking is a great use of time! I'm currently living with my parents so dog watching overnight would be an awesome escape!

“Punctual, careful, and a great pick for a dog walker/sitter. My pup had an excellent time! Will be booking again”

About: I’ve worked with dogs since an early age. I love and care for them deeply. They are extensions of myself and are the reason I come home everyday. I’m a full time worker but that wont stop me from taking care of your animals needs. I am available most days. I can be flexible. My job is to satisfy the needs of you the customer. I work tirelessly to ensure your pets happiness. This is what matters the most.
