Dog Walking Enterprise

About: Hi! I'm Ross, I grew up having Labrador Retrievers as family pets and have always had a strong love of dogs. I like all dogs, big or small! I'm great at responding to a pets needs. I love to give them the attention and play that they want while maintaining appropriate disciple/doggie boundaries ( like not jumping up on strangers). I am good at reading dogs body language which helps to know if they are tired, playful, need to go to the bathroom, not feeling well, or just need some attention! Working from home gives me extra flexibilty to give the pups extra attention when they need it. Regardless of the setting I am able to follow the guidelines that you have set up for your pet. I look forward to getting to know your dogs!!

“Jaron has been walking our dog for several years. He is super reliable and gives plenty of notice if he will be unavailable. He is very sweet to her!”

“Adrianna was sweet, communicative and simply great! Luckily she was able to walk Luna with short notice and I could tell Luna had so much fun from the pictures. Will definitely book again!”

“Jodie did a fantastic job watching my special needs dog! She took the time to guide him outside and down the stairs. I highly recommend her and will be rebooking in the future!”

About: Hiii my name is Xochil, I am 26 years old, new to Rover, and am a fellow pet parent with 2 spoiled kitties and a bearded dragon of my own. I have years of pet sitting experience under my belt including professional pet care at a vet clinic and boarding facility. Along with growing up in a house full of a variety of different animals has made me a natural caregiver for most, if not all pets! Having the hands on experience with all sorts of breeds and temperaments, you can be assured your pet will be safe with me. If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s the understanding that each and every pet is different and one approach might not work for all, instead adjusting to each of your pets’ unique needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to find someone to care for your babies when you're away so I am very flexible and understanding to any requests that may make you feel more comfortable- nothings off the table so please ask away! I look forward to hearing for you. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of availability for your fur babies! At this time, I do not provide in home boarding. I am good at monitoring stools and eating habits, always on the look out for any concerns. I am very weary of entering and exiting homes so pets can not slip out. Outside of the house, I am extra alert for off-leash dogs and other wildlife that may pose issues. If a problem arises with another dog, I know methods of separation and carry dog deterrent spray. I’m always present and in tune with their body language to make sure they’re comfortable and not showing any signs of distress or possible health concerns. The communication line is always open and you will receive plenty of photos with each visit so you can know for certain everything is looking okay. When I’m with your pet, it’s all about your pet and only your pet! I will never do something you have not listed in your instructions- the more in depth the instructions, the better!

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes, cats and numerous other household companions. I have roughly 14 years of pet care experience which includes personal, professional and volunteer experience. I have experience with puppies and geriatric dogs. I have taken courses in pet first aid and advanced pet handling. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop in visits, dog walking and pet/house sitting on most days! I am more than happy to work out a one-time, temporary, or long-term schedule with you. I am in the process of obtaining my dog training certification. At this time, I can only provide care in client's homes. I will follow all instructions given regarding scheduling, care, and safety with your pets in your home.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up, my family had two Saint Bernards and a Yellow Labrador, which gave me experience with large breeds from an early age. Today, I share my home with an English Springer Spaniel, a Throwback Pomeranian, and a couple of reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve been pet sitting for the past six years for friends and family. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to their normal routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am currently available early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. When school starts, I’ll also be available during the day, giving me even more flexibility to care for your pets! I know your pets are family, and I care for them that way. When I’m in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated so you always know how your furry family members are doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring, trustworthy hands.

“It was so helpful having her come walk my dogs when I had a couple long days at work. It took a lot of stress off of me knowing that my dogs got out and got some exercise when I wasn’t able to be there for them during the day!”

“Loved all the pics and updates on how Bruno’s walks went! Took great care of him :)”

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I have experience caring for pets of all temperaments, sizes, and ages, from fur 🐶 to scales 🦎 to feathers 🐓. I grew up around farm animals, have fostered bunnies, and taken care of senior pets and animals with special needs. My favorite part about pet sitting is getting to know your pet and their unique personality🤓 I would love to help provide stress-free care for your pets while you’re away with lots of photos and love like they are my own! ♥️ I’ve had two free-roam bunnies Honey and Bee cross the “rainbow bridge” and currently have an adventure cat named Toad and two of our rescue pups we are training — a Siberian Husky named Simon and a Blue Heeler mix Sage I am free to sit wherever, whenever! I work a full-time job, but I have a flexible schedule and am open to changes according to your needs :) I am a tidy and attentive sitter that will make sure to follow directions closely. My goal is to give the best care for your pet while you’re away!

“Ash took great care of my dog! I especially appreciated Ash’s excellent communication and responsiveness. I would recommend and rebook!”

About: Hello! I am an avid dog and cat lover. I often watch my family and friends pets but aside from that I managed a cageless doggy daycare for 3 years. I own two senior cats myself. I am attentive and flexible. Always available to do meet and greet in person or over the phone prior to my services <3 helps me and your animals get an acquainted! I currently own my own business that allows me plenty of free time. I’m available most days and nights on short notice. Happy to accommodate any schedule. I do travel out of state quite a bit for my job but I will let you know immediately if my schedule were to change. I have first hand experience in handling all sizes of dogs and temperaments. Including training with dog aggressive dogs. I have experience in administering meds and first aid for both cats & dogs.

About: I have over 5 years of experience providing in-home care for pets of all kinds. Friends, neighbors, and families have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets in their homes. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to calm seniors. My goal is to make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m a student at DMACC with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins at your home. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I provide pet care in your home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I’ll follow your routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. You can trust me to respect your home, keep your pets safe, and give them loving, attentive care.

About: I grew up with dogs & have had two large breed dogs for the past 13 years. Currently, our dogs are seniors & one has some health issues that I am well skilled in supporting. I have a passion to LOVE every fur baby, dog & cat, as though they're my own because I whole-heartedly believe they deserve the best life we can give. I can't wait to care for your sweet doggo or cat ❤️ I work full time, but many days from home, which is reflected in my availability. I have the ability to move around my schedule, as needed, to work with your needs. When possible, I like to have a brief meet & greet with you and your pet(s) so that we are all familiar with each other and any further expectations for when I am in your home. Whatever accommodations are necessary to make sure you and your pet(s) feel safe, trusted and loved is my priority.

About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!

About: Growing up surrounded by the love and joy of dogs, I’ve been a devoted pet enthusiast since my early years. With a lifetime of firsthand experience in providing unwavering care and companionship to our four-legged friends, I am available 24/7 to extend that same level of love and attention to your beloved pets. My commitment is to create a safe, happy and nurturing environment and experience for them, ensuring they receive the best care possible. With a completely open schedule, I am fully committed to providing constant attention and creating a supportive environment for your furry friend. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities. I prioritize their care as a central part of my day, ensuring ample time for walks, play, and companionship. In both my home and yours, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment for your pets. Whether it’s providing cozy spaces, regular walks, playtime, or adhering to specific dietary needs, I tailor my care to match the unique preferences and routines of each furry friend. I understand every pet is different, and my goal is to ensure they feel loved, comfortable, and right at home, no matter where they are.

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

About: Born and raised a dog lover! I’ve have 5 dogs throughout my life that I have loved so dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of my friend’s dogs in HS and college. I love to go on walks, so why not bring your pup with me! I unfortunately do not have my own dog at this time with my significant other, but I hope to get one soon! I am a teacher who is taking a small step back in education to focus on my health. I know your dogs will help me A LOT during this transition, and they will be under great care. I currently live in an apartment in Des Moines, so I am also available for drop-ins to ensure your pup is comfortable at home! I am willing to travel to different to parts of the metro to help you and your pup!

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

About: I’m a dog owner of two and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and energy levels. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I provide reliable walks and drop-in visits to keep your pet happy and comfortable in their own space. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own—with consistent updates while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to play with your pups. Caring for pets fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I already care for my own two dogs. I’m used to planning my days around walks, feeding schedules, and playtime, so adding additional visits is something I genuinely enjoy. I stay organized and make sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. I care for pets in their home by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention based on their needs and energy level. I’m attentive to behavior and make sure they’re safe at all times. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
