“Thank you so much!!”

“Kathryn has experience with dogs and cats. She always makes sure the animals feel happy and comfortable. Kathryn is reliable, follows instructions carefully, and is detail-oriented.

“Met Savannah at a local dog park about a year ago and the rest is history! We often planned times to go to the dog park for play dates. Savannah heard how stressed I was about having Hershey alone (Hershey has separation anxiety) while I was working full time or when I had to leave for weeks at a time for the military. Savannah offered to watch Hershey during the day while I was working or on long leaves so Hershey could feel comfortable and loved while I was gone. Hershey loved having someone to play with often. Would definitely recommend Savannah to watch your loved ones. She is honestly the best!”

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!

About: I have had a dog all of my life and enjoy playing with them and taking them for walks. I currently have a mini dachshund puppy of my own that I have been caring for since he was 2 months old. I care for all the dogs I take care of or walk like they are my own. I am very good at giving pets the attention that they need to be content and healthy. I can get along with many different types of dogs and their different needs. Overall I love taking care of dogs and giving them what they need. I have a varying schedule with work but am available to walk and take care of your pet within my work schedule as long as I have prior notice. I can easily take your pet on walks, feed them, play with them as much as possible. I am able to crate your pets when needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a full-time professional based in Des Moines with a big heart for animals—especially dogs. I share my life with a lovable poodle who’s full of energy and joy. We spend a lot of time going on walks and playing fetch, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs active, happy, and loved.

He loves playing fetch and loves chasing after birds.

“Arielle and Karl did a great job playing with our dogs while we were gone. Great communication and responsiveness. I’d definitely book them again!”

We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.
