“Kelsey was wonderful with our girl Bonnie! Bonnie is a little anxious at first and has a bit of a loud mouth 😂but Kelsey was patient and had her relaxed and playing/napping in no time. We will absolutely trust her with Bonnie again.”

About: I believe that animals were put on this earth to show us how to love! The least we can do is return the favor ❤️ I work from home so I have all the time to show your pet love away from home! When I'm not working I have most evenings and weekends available to check in when they are at home! I have a Fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your pup company! I also have an XXL crate needed if that helps comfort them, so that they have their own space when needed!
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.

“It has been a privilege to have met Ali. Her joy over these silly, unique, fun, and personable dogs is infectious. Ali helped to train my dog! Ali helped me to better train my dog! Ali excellent communication skills, easy laughter and a person I could count on. Both Gracie and I will miss her greatly as we have to move out of town. But between Gracie's nose and my memory, we will hope to get near her again.”

We will be going back!! I'm am so thankful to have found them for our pup. They even took the time to work with my special needs son on training our pup. They deserve 10 stars! ?”

“Sarah and her kids were great with Ozzy! He seemed like he had tons of fun and was so tired at pickup. That was the best result being that he napped the entire time on the next road trip destination. She handled Ozzy with care and sent lots of fun updates. 5⭐️!!!”

“Heather was amazing! She took on our 10-week-old puppy, Jack, for the day/evening. It was his first time with a sitter, and she was wonderful and put us at ease about leaving our pup for the first time. Would highly recommend her to anyone. We hope she will have us back sometime.”

Kelsey was amazing. We were in town for a sporting event and needed someone to take care of our dog after we checked out of the hotel. Kelsey communicated well and often, was flexible as the event timing changes, and made the care of our dog stress-free. He had so much fun with her! Would definitely recommend Kelsey!
Cory was able to watch my pup last-minute while I was in the area for work. I'm so glad I found him. He was easy to communicate with, and I felt more than comfortable leaving Carver with him. Best of all, I picked up a happy, tired pup who slept the whole way home. Cory will be my go-to in Des Moines whenever I need pet care.

Savannah was wonderful! It was Pipers first time there and I could tell right away she made Piper feel comfortable and at ease while i was gone. I got multiple updates and photos/videos throughout the day. She also used her professional camera to take photos; how thoughtful!! She also was super easy to work with and has great communication. My request for daycare was super last minute and she was very accommodating! She did great with my pup and we’ll definitely be using Savannah again for daycare😊

Rylee was a responsible and responsive sitter. She took great care of my elderly pup, feeding her, administering medication, sending me pics in a regular basis and making sure she stayed happy and safe. My pup was walked, loved on, given treats and even taken out for a pup cup. When I picked her up on the second day of care, my pup was happy to see me but disappointed to leave her pal Rylee. I will absolutely reach out again for care in the future and share Rylee’s profile with my family in Des Moines!
