Dog Walking in Greater South Side, Des Moines, IA

“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!”

“I was able to book Troy on short notice, which was very helpful. He was prompt, friendly, and my dog was instantly comfortable with him. I’d definitely recommend Troy and plan to book him again in the future!”

“Grace has watched our pets many times. She has helped both with daily visits, and longer stays varying from the weekend to over a week. Both we and our pets (one large dog with anxiety and 2 skittish cats) love and trust Grace. She treats our pets with kindness and compassion after having taken the time to get to know them as individuals with unique needs and wants. She cares for them like we would, and always takes the cutest update pictures!”

“Cory has great communication and both our dogs enjoyed walking with him. Our puppy had boundless energy and Cory met it with enthusiasm and patience!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Monica made the process so easy. She sent us notes and lots of pictures at every visit. She took cues from our dog on how far she could walk at each visit depending on the weather and then spent time cuddling our Boston Terrier too (which is just as important for our dog as exercise). We were out of town and never had to worry if things were going well! Our family highly recommends Monica for your pet walking/sitting needs!!”

“Courtney did an excellent job caring for our dog. We felt very confident that Maya was in good hands. She is friendly, reliable and extremely helpful. We look forward to working with her in the future!”

“Lacey was absolutely fantastic with my boys! She made both the dogs and my elderly mother comfortable as well as put my mind at ease while I was away. Lacey is an incredibly caring person and provided regular updates. I would definitely book Lacey again!”

“Matt does an amazing job with our temperamental dog. He respects his boundaries and gives him lots of attention😊 highly reccomend”

“Hadley’s helped watch my cat whenever I’m on vacation. She always makes sure he gets his daily treats and makes sure there’s a good spot for him to look out the window. She’s great!”

“Haley is great! She does an excellent job of watching my dogs, Lulu and Emmy. She adores them, exercises them, and gives them all sorts of attention. She even sends photos too! Definitely recommend.”

“Molly has been providing us with walks and doggie day care for a number of weeks. She is always reliable, professional, and puntual! We're very glad to have her help giving our dog Ezio the exercise, care, and company he deserves while my spouse and I both work full-time at an office. She clearly knows what she's doing when taking care of pets.”

“Taylor and I have know each other for a few years, and she’s always been an avid animal lover. When my family got our puppy, she immediately offered to look after him if the need ever arose. We started with a short over night trip and she was so attentive. She sent multiple updates for our happy boy. From that point forward we used her services any time we went out of town. Her communication is always top notch and every time our pup came back tired and happy. You can’t go wrong trusting Taylor with your fur-baby. She’ll love them like her own and go above and beyond each and every time.”

About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.

“Lindsey is very detailed and dedicated to the care and love of any pet in her care. She plays with them and loves to spoil them (as much as is allowed), treating them as her own. Any owner can be assured their dog will be well care for in her service.”

“I love when Javon takes my dog for a walk. She’s reliable & I trust her with my dog! Javon has a lot of experience with dogs and is very knowledgeable. I love the photos she sends of my dog on their walks. Would highly recommend her for everyone :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“Katie took very good care of Winston on his walk and sent a lot of pictures. She went above and beyond to meet him ahead of time and learn the specifics about him. Thanks Katie :)”

“I’ve known Ben since I was around 9 years old. He has always had dogs and cared for them well. His own dog gets walked 3 miles everyday and has been trained incredibly well. Ben was always willing to look after my own dog if I was out of town and took care of my dog like he was his own which was a weight off my shoulders knowing my dog was in good hands.”
