Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Greenwood, Des Moines, IA

“Katherine did great with our 3 YO Lab and our rescued 8MO newly rescued pup! She did an extra "meet & greet" since we adopted the pup after we had booked the drop-ins for one dog. She was on time, sent multiple photos to assure us the two were doing great, and left an extra note to let us know of a small problem the pup had while we were away. Great 1st assignment!”

“Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.”

“Monica took wonderful care of my kitty over my thanksgiving trip. Feels good to know Layla is getting attention and servicing while I am away. Thank you, Monica!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Daniel was our first Rover sitter and was the only person I contacted who met my standards. He is excellent at responding to my messages quickly and is very patient with all of my instructions. I asked Daniel to use my puppy's training commands and he did as asked. He gave her positive reinforcements throughout their visit. He sent many photos of our active, happy pup. I fully trust him being in our home unattended. Daniel was on time for our Meet & Greet appointment and our puppy's first home visit, which sadly other people do not to seem to think is important. I appreciate his professionalism as he understands THIS IS A JOB, not something to fit in his day if/when it is convenient for him, as other potential sitters represented. Thank you so much Daniel.”

“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”

About: Hi, I am Raelyn! I work for my sister’s business, HoneyK9 Training in Minnesota, and recently graduated college at Drake University! I have taken care of many animals through drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I have been relied on to feed, exercise, and love on the animals I am watching! I have a full time job and I work part time in the weekends! I always have some extra time that I would love to be spending with animals At home, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I recently just adopted a cat! In my clients home if I am doing a drop in, I will make sure the dog gets let out at least 2 times before I leave, feed them if I am instructed to, and give them love. For house sitting, I have had a schedule where I can leave the house for my job, not for past a certain amount of hours, I make sure the dog is getting outside and getting fed. For walks, I have typically done 30 minute walks, making sure the dog goes potty, and is getting their exercise in for the walk!

“Andrea has done drop in visits on a couple different occasions for, and she’s done a great job with Sable. She was very responsive to messages to schedule the visits and easy to coordinate with.”

About: We can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Hi, Drew and Jack here! We've taken care of dogs since we were little kids and haven't been able to part with them since. We have a 3 year old goldendoodle named Penny and she's the center of our lives. She is incredibly friendly and loves all animals! Out front we have a fenced in dog area and an open space around back. We also have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dog's routine. We never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have the best caregivers looking after your pets. We are home a majority of the day tending to dogs, cats, or fish and their specific needs. We only have a few reoccurring appointments on certain days so I'm gone for 2 hours maximum, but my fiancé and I will both be active caregivers for your pets! During the day the dogs get as much play time as they prefer, given the weather will allow. We wake up early and the first thing we do is take the dogs out to the front yard where we have a secured area. Throughout the day your dog will enjoy walks around Sherman Hill, trips to the front yard, plenty of potty breaks and anything else you feel your pet needs. For your pet's sleeping or daytime napping arrangements we try to mimic their home routine as much as possible. We have one large kennel in our room reserved for dogs such as puppies, elderly, or dogs that are only comfortable sleeping in the same room as their owners. We tailor each stay so that your pet can feel safe and secure in their own space throughout the night without worrying for their safety or level of comfort. You will be provided with plenty of updates and pictures of your pets during their stay with us! We make sure every dog enjoys their stay in the safest possible manner. Many dogs will run right into our place when they arrive because they truly love it here. They have someone who understands their nature and fulfills their needs.
