“Zaira helped me out with a short notice request to take care of my cat, Ernestine. Prompt and professional in her responses to confirm...checked in and out each visit with pictures...as well as provided a complete report card of Ernestine each day. Would definitely reserve with Zaira, again!”

Hallie J.

“Thank goodness for Tabatha! It’s so amazing to be able to get away & actually enjoy my vacation knowing that my sweet Maxwell is in such capable hands. Not only that, I unexpectedly received some live plants in the mail while away & she got them in some water so they’d be alive when I got home. She cleans up after Max (which I know can be a bit much some days), so that we come home to a clean house. She’s wonderful! I can’t recommend her enough.”

Emma

“William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.”

Amy P.

“Molly was amazing with our two cats. She followed everything I outlined perfectly and was super attentive. Her updates helped us feel at ease while we were out of the country. I knew we left our cats in good hands. I highly recommend letting Molly look after your animals!”

“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”

“Amazing person! She took such great care with my cat over the holidays. Every check in I received photos and updates of her litter box, food and of course my cat getting cuddles and pets that she loves. Would definitely recommend her to all my friends and will look forward to having her look over Hazel the next time!”

We would absolutely trust you with Milo again and love to have you look after him. I definitely recommend you to all the cat owners and really appreciate all that you did!”

About: ***For boarding/house-sitting I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be with me for any bookings*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments. He's house-trained and does not shed and very friendly with other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

“My Goodness!! The commitment Stacey gave to watch our pets for almost a month is beyond anything I could ever imagine. From pictures every visit and a little note of whats happening every-time she dropped in gave us so much assurance and peace of mind. Not only did she feed and took care of letting the dogs out, she even brought her own treats for my cats and cared for them equally. She went above and beyond to clean up after the dog accidents, cleaning cat litter boxes even though it wasn’t discussed prior and offered to vacuum the pet fur off the couch and floors. I am very thankful for her and her care for my pets. I highly recommend her to trust her with your pets. My babies already miss her a lot. I know who to go to when I need a trusted pet sitter.”

About: Simple mindset. I’ll do what the dogs and what the owner recommends. Needs a walk in the park? Grays Lake. Sleeps all day? So can I. Rain or shine, I guarantee a relaxing and safe environment to care for your dogs while you’re away. New to this and currently in between jobs. Starting with just a few days a week. Texting is the best way to reach me. Downtown Des Moines. Clients can set up cameras to remote view from where ever they are. I’ll record the walks on Strava to verify activity and proper exercise.
