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’ve been around animals my whole life, of all shapes and sizes. I love all animals. I’ve grown up with hunting dogs, big dogs, farm animals, and cats. I am always willing to go for midday lunch walks or weekend check ins while you are out and about being social (in the Ankeny/Polk City area). My boyfriend 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 in the Ankeny area. Some nights he may even join if he’s home. We have a puppy of our own that could join, pending your permission of course. 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.

About: We lost our beloved dog "Chester" in 2022 and our home has felt empty ever since. Both my husband & I have grown up with dogs & we loved playing, walking and cuddling w/Chester. The unconditional love he provided to our family was priceless. My husband & I are empty nesters as of last fall, 2023 & we are available to care and watch your dog on a weekday or weekend.. Your dog will be loved in our home as much as it is in your home. We will thoroughly enjoy spoiling it like it is our own pet! We live downtown Des Moines & will be able to walk your dog regularly to near by parks/Grays Lake. I like to know what the sleep/feeding schedule of your dog is, as well as any tricks they know, the time between bathroom breaks, and how the interact with other dogs.

About: I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have a 9mos old 11lb Havanese that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments*** I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. I do have a small (Havanese) 8mos old puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since day one—dogs, cats, you name it—so caring for pets is basically in my DNA. I started pet sitting and babysitting for neighbors when I was younger, and I’ve loved it ever since. I know how much pets mean to their people, and I treat every furball like they’re part of my own pack! As a stay-at-home mom with all my kids in school, I have lots of free time during the weekdays! I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings—perfect for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet! I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines to favorite toys—and I keep your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I have a small Chihuahua of my own, so I'm very familiar with the care and attention pets need. As a nurse, I’m trained to be responsible and attentive, which translates into great care for your furry friend. I’d love to offer a safe, loving, and responsible environment for dog while you're away! I work a 9-5 job, but I make sure to have plenty of time for pets before and after my shift. I’m home around 4:30pm, I always take walks, provide playtime, and give lots of love and attention to your furry friend. I do not work weekends and am free all day. I’d love to offer a safe and caring environment for your dog while you're away! I live in an apartment with a dog park! I also have several trails near my place where I walk my dog, and also take him out several times a day.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️ As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours! My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.

About: I am a proud dog mom of an Australian Shepard, and have been around, and grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I have dog sat for neighbors and family friends for years giving the furry friends, snuggles, exercise, medications, and most importantly love. I am a full time teacher, so I am available after 4:00pm on week days, and am available anytime during the weekends and can be very flexible. I believe that dogs are truly part of your family, and with that being said they should be treated as such. I have an abundance of love for dogs and making sure they are well taken care of, but also given the attention and love that they deserve. I have an Australian Shepard who requires a lot of exercise and attention daily as well as simulation for the mind so I understand the care and attention you give dogs. I want to also make sure that you are truly at ease whenever you need to take time away from your furry loved one because I know that is important. Knowing and feeling assured that your dog/dogs are getting the love that they need!

About: I have 7 years of experience working with senior dogs who need a little extra care when it comes to medications and transportation. I am able to lift 140 lbs to help the forever puppies with powder sugar faces. I am currently between jobs after graduating and have plenty of time to go on “w.a.l.k’s” or play with pups! I have a lot of availability! I am very responsible when it comes to pet care and I am on call 24/7 for any pet needs. I keep a tight schedule for medications and have a keen eye for pill tricksters.

Rylee is an incredibly kind person who is absolutely amazing with pets of all kinds!! I have never met someone who is better with animals than her. They are great with meeting pets with where they are, respecting boundaries and encouraging growth and training habits. Rylee is also a great communicator and incredibly trustworthy regardless of the situation. Pets also adore her, often warming up within minutes (including dogs with separation anxiety and cats that otherwise are not social). They are also great with non traditional pets! Rylee handles reptiles and fish with just as much care as she interacts with furry friends. Her leopard gecko is genuinely one of the best behaved pets I have ever met!

Sheridan took care of my cat and dog while I was on a week long vacation. She was incredibly attentive to their needs and made sure they were cared for! She was very responsive, and eager to learn as much as possible about my pets so that she could take the best care of them. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!
