Jessica is so kind, fun, and clearly is meant to be around animals in one way or another. My boys were THRILLED to see her every morning. She was helping me out as I’m dealing with cancer - her flexibility and understanding nature helped me trust her in my home and with my boys. Book her!

Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sara H. as a caregiver for your furry baby. She provided exceptional care for my giant schnauzer, and for that, we will be forever grateful. Sara is not just a pet sitter; she genuinely loves and understands animals. Her own furry baby is a testament to her dedication—extremely well cared for and loved. You can rest assured that your pet will be in the best hands possible with Sara. She’s attentive, loving, and treats every animal as if they were her own. Your furry companion will be safe, happy, and well-cared for under Sara's watch.

Hanna is an absolute ROCKSTAR!!! She has been a lifesaver for me with my busy work schedule. She walks the dogs, plays with them, and feeds them while I’m working. She is truly remarkable and all of her TLC showed to my pups are greatly appreciated. If anyone is looking for someone to assist with daily dog duties, Hanna is your go to person!! Thanks for all you do!!!

About: I have taken care of dogs for a large part of my life, I grew up with four dogs in the household and have taken care of my own dog since I was 7 years old, I worked in shelters and doggy daycare as well Open availability, I'm currently open before i start college, my schedule will change to work with my classes but as of now my schedule is open I have a fenced yard where my dog, Ruby, can run around in with a small fenced-in mini forest for her to run around in freely, as do my parents, who live next door, who I occasionally dog sit for with their two English bulldogs Wilson and nugget and their French bulldog fifi. I feed my dog every morning and before I go to bed, and I make sure she gets plenty of outside time to do her business or sunbathe because she's 15 years old and loves the sun. I make sure she has plenty of water for her and make sure to give her medicine if she's hurting or has an infection

Stacey has taken care of my dog and 5 cats since June 2024, when I moved to Des Moines. Every weekend she has cared for them. Stacey makes sure all the pets have food and water. She scoops all the litter boxes. She gives my dog her medications and takes her for walks. She send me updates and pictures. She is very dependable. I never have I worry who is going to take care of everyone while I’m gone at work.

Keirston is exactly who you are looking for a wonderful caregiver for your furry family members! I’ve had her take care of my two cats on multiple occasions and could rest easy knowing she’d treat them as if they were her own. She’s thoughtful and kind and considerate when dealing with all types of pets in all walks of life. I’d recommend her to anyone 10/10 times!

Caitlin Sheldon has a wonderful and natural way with animals and pets. She is very patient. Animals seem to come to her and they listen to her. She can get them to sit and stay and shake paws. They love being around her. Caitlin has rescued a few cats. And she has one dog of her own. Joey. They adore her. She would make a wonderful pet walker or sitter. She treats them like family.
