“Good communication. Willingness to do a meet and greet and house sit on short notice was a life saver. Rachel and family seem to really love pets and get to know their personalities. Our animals were all happy when we came home.”

“Meg took such good care of my dog while we were away for a week and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future! Ranger came down with a GI illness right before we were due to leave but Meg took it in stride and accommodated the meds and food changes prescribed by his vet, on top of his already higher need for structured routine. I especially appreciated the daily pupdates and clear communication, and I felt like my best friend was in safe and capable hands. I would definitely recommend Meg, especially for pups who need extra quality time and attention to detail!”

“Absolutely! Here's a polished version tailored for a testimonial: I never once worried that my girls weren’t safe or being lovingly cared for. It takes a truly special person to look after someone else’s pets with the same devotion as their own—and that’s exactly what we experienced. The peace of mind and genuine care made all the difference.”

“We had a little bit of a nuanced request for house sitting for our dog while I was out of town and with my husband working 12+ hour shifts. Reagan was so accommodating to our needs and even came for a meet and greet to get acclimated with our dog and to go over details. Reagan truly wants to make your pet’s routine her routine so as to maintain continuity while you are away. She was always so responsive and sent several pictures during the house sitting, leaving no doubts about the great care that our Remy-girl was in. We will definitely be re-booking with Reagan again in the future! Without question, your mind will be put at ease booking Reagan to watch your fur babies.”

About: I am very versatile. Adaptable. I have always tended to lean toward older dogs and have had older dogs up to age of 18. I have an absolute love of all animals. I work 2 days a week Wed and Friday. Friday is an 8 hour day in Ankeny. I am available after 445 on Fridays. I love all living creatures but I am allergic to cats. I have owned dogs, my last one passed away last year. I am a nurse and am very comfortable giving meds, injections and recognizing illness in dogs. I have done all of these things with past pets and dog sits. It would have to be in clients home. My current living situation does not allow for sitting in my home. I am well traveled and adapt well to many situations. I grew up in Des Moines and am very familiar with the area and surrounding areas.

Shelbi was communicative, reliable, and respectful of our home. We came back to a happy dog and a well-cared-for house. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

About: You can have peace of mind knowing your cat or dog is safe and well taken care of while you're away. I believe that well-socialized and exercised dogs are the happiest dogs. I have been around dogs and cats my entire life, and love taking care of them to get to know each one on an individual level. I currently have a ten year old 90-pound and five year old 45-pound mixed breed dogs whom I exercise and love daily. I consistently socialize them in order to reinforce good dog behavior, and I hope to do the same with your pup. Over the years I have dog-sat for many friends and loved every minute of it. I adhere to all owner's rules regarding feeding, medication, and other house rules. I am available weekdays and weekends. I currently work during the day, so mornings, evenings, and weekends are generally times when I am most readily available to care for your pet. Currently I do not have the space in my own home to care for other pets, however I am of the belief that a pet thrives better in a familiar environment. I follow all client's instructions in how to best care for their cat or dog.

About: I've taken care of three dogs of my own for the last 3. My oldest pup turned 10 this year. I love learning each pups love language to best take care of them. I'm available for drop ins at your home as well as short or long in home stays while you're aware to ensure your dogs are well taken care of. I look forward to caring for your pets like you would and keeping them safe, snuggled and well cared for while you're away. I will make sure they are loved and taken care of like I would want mine to be.

Allison was very kind and attentive. My dog has health issues and gets multiple medications every day. He is newly blind and can have behavior issues that are difficult. Allison is a pro and took all in stride. I had no worries while away and definitely recommend!

Since this was our first time using Kendra, we began with a meet-and-greet. Her interaction with Lucy felt genuine, and Lucy quickly warmed up to her, which made us confident in our choice. Kendra communicated well, letting us know when she arrived, when she let Lucy out, and providing updates throughout her stay. Her care for dogs is clear, and we highly recommend her. We look forward to asking her to watch Lucy again. I give her an excellent grade.

Daniel stayed in our home with our two medium/large dogs for a full week and they all did great! He sent pics daily, kept us up to date with activities around the house, and even took out the trash and pulled the trash and recyle bins to the street! The house was clean and the furballs were well fed and happy! Highly recommend Daniel if you're looking for overnight pet care!

Katherine was amazing from the initial meet and greet through the care of my pups! She took the time to ask questions and learn their routines and schedules to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She also kept me updated throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about my boys and wanted to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to look after their pets. I would absolutely book with her again!

Jane stayed at our home with our Cavapoo five days. At first, our pet was a little skeptical of Jane, but she worked very hard to win him over. They became good friends before she left. Great communication. Lots of photos. Neighborhood walks. Very caring. And responsible. We would have no hesitation having Jane in our home with our pet in the future. Hopefully, she feels the same.

Sophia did an excellent job watching our two dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dogs is very anxious and requires extra time to warm up to strangers. Sophia was flexible, maintained a calm demeanor, and did several drop in visits prior to our departure to ensure he was comfortable when we left. At the end of our trip, our return home was delayed a day. Sophia was able to cover us and extend care for the additional time. I would recommend Sophia to anyone, especially those with anxious pets.

Shelbi was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She treated my pet like family and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of while I was away. The updates, photos, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious that my pet was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a well-cared-for, relaxed pet made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Shelbi highly enough. I would gladly book with her again and encourage anyone considering her services to do the same. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
