Kent is amazing! He goes above and beyond for my dog. He is an excellent communicator and keeps me informed with anything I may need to know about my dog. He cares deeply for animals and is so trustworthy and genuine. I highly recommend Kent and we are so lucky we found him!

Caitlyn has been coming over 2-3x a week to let our dog out during the day. She (with permission, of course) took my dog for pup cups on both her birthday and her gotcha day. She always puts my dog first, and loves her as her own, and my dog is obsessed with her. I will continually recommend Caitlyn to anyone I know who is looking for someone to check on their pet.

Grace’s love of animals is clear as soon as you see her interact with your pet. She always has the animal’s best interest at heart. She also has experience administering medication which is a plus for senior or special needs dogs.

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!

Amber has an amazing heart and passion for dogs. We have 3 Great Danes and a puggle that Amber has taken care of for us many times and they love her. They get so excited to see her, knowing that all her attention is wrapped into them. They can't wait for her to take them for a walk or just play for the afternoon or weekend overnight. They are all quite large dogs (average of 155 lbs a piece) but Amber knows just how to handle them. I recommend Amber highly to take care of anyone's dog and trust her to give the best care each and every time! I also trust her to stay in our home with no hesitation she is very trustworthy.

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.

Karla was so kind and friendly with both me and my pets. I will definitely be relying on her for dog walking. She was prompt, she provided updates, and she sent the cutest pictures. I also noted that my pup would get a treat and need to be placed by the water bowl and she ensures that happened as well. I'm very thankful to have found Karla!

About: Hi, I’m Jane! I’ve been professionally caring for dogs since 2015, and I make it a priority to learn about each pet before we meet. This includes researching breed-specific needs and understanding any medical conditions to ensure I provide the best possible care. For both dogs and cats, I strive to stick as closely as possible to your routine, while adding a little extra love and exercise to help ease their anxiety while you’re away. PRICING: I offer a base rate for the first pet, with a small additional fee for each extra pet. If you have both dogs and cats, the base rate applies only once per household. Pricing Example: 1 dog, 2 cats: $19 + $4 + $4 = $27 (Note: Fees will be updated prior to booking. Pets must be from the same household.) I have a senior male Chihuahua who accompanies me on overnight stays, so my availability for house-sitting is limited to pet families where this won't be an issue. I work from home and can be flexible for scheduled drop-ins or house-sitting. The pets I care for enjoy frequent breaks to play, walk, or relax in near my lap while I work on my laptop. My policy is to never let a dog out of my sight, even in a fenced yard. Pets can often behave unpredictably when separated from their owners. I focus on keeping them engaged through exercise and play tasks, providing plenty of distractions until your return. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals from large to small and to exotic since I was 13 years old. I have worked for veterinary clinics and a rescue. I am currently unemployed and searching. I am available most days and times. Once I find a new job I will be available on weekends. I will be providing in client’s home care. I will stop in as much as needed to play, feed, and let outside. I know how to administer medication so can do that if necessary.
