“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our Pickle while we were gone. She even has much experience with his breed which is a bonus! She really went that extra step in caring for him. He will definitely be excited to see her again!”

“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”

About: I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, but especially with specials needs, senior, and small and large dogs. My old fur-baby, Jack, was special needs (born with scoliosis) and I did the majority of care for him. He lived to be 17 and a half. I work from home with a relatively flexible schedule. During the weekdays I am available for daycare, pop-ins, walks, and house-sitting. On the weekends I am available for boarding and overnights. I live in an apartment but am very active and can ensure plenty of outside time if desired. My complex also has a large fenced-in dog park area. I have one dog who is very friendly and can keep your dog company and play with. I am available to go to your place as well if prefered.

About: I have a soft spot for the quirky or misunderstood animals. I pride myself on making sure your pet is comfortable and feels free to be themselves. I have experience with mildly aggressive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and the medically challenged. I am typically available after 4pm monday-friday, and on the weekends I am fairly flexible. Working with animals is a passion of mine and does not feel like a job. :) I have a fenced in yard, and a spacious first floor in my home so I have plenty of room for your pet to run around or play.

“I reached out to Rylie when I needed someone to let my dog out during the day. Rylie was very easy to communicate with and I was able to schedule easily. She was able to do a meet and greet beforehand so my dog Lucy was comfortable when she stopped by. She sent photos of their walk and gave her extra pets before she left. I would definitely book with Rylie again.”

About: I have been the main caretaker of any animal I’ve ever had, some because I was the one who begged for it. And others because I just love animals so much that their care is only half the fun. I have experience with animals in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. My puppy experience ranges from being the one who nursing a parvo puppy back to excellent health, she is now 3 years old and thriving. I also have a senior dog, who is such a joy but I think he forgets he has arthritis with all of his puppy antics. I also have a lot experience with teaching many tricks so don’t be surprised if your animal learns something new every time they see me! I work from home and have only two courses a day, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do a good pet care routine. My babies (my cats and hermit crabs) are on a routine or rather I am. We do feedings in the morning and have an hour of down time for everyone to “stretch” their legs before I go to class. I’m away for 3 hours before I’m back and during that time I can walk a dog if one is staying. And then I work from home so pretty much I’m at the animals beck and call whenever they need anything. I am in an apartment which lessens the risk of anything happening to your pet on my watch! Also with living in an apartment by campus we can always go for walks and meet some college students wanting some animal love!

About: I am a very loving, compassionate person. I take pride in this and will treat your pet as if they were my own. My exceptional care will give you peace of mind while you are away. My promise to you is that your pet will be showered with love and cuddles and will BEGGING for more. I currently am not working. I am very flexible with my schedule. My availability during the week and weekends are open. I will have my calendar updated weekly. I will follow all the guidelines and rules that you have for your dog in your home. For example feeding times, number of walks, furniture rules, etc.

About: Hello! So glad you found me! I have 20+ years of pet experience working with puppies from 8 weeks to even the gentlest of giants (Bernard's and Danes included). From shy furbabies to grumpy older generations your pet will be loved and well cared for. I grew up with dogs in my household, and have raised several different breeds. Currently I own an 85lb Labradoodle that thinks he's a lap dog. I have experience pet sitting in my home during the day while their owners go to work, as well as, taking furbabies out for a daily walk to give you some time back in your day. I work from home, and have the flexibility to work with your schedule. I currently work from home FT Monday - Friday. My days are full of flexibility, and I can work with your schedule as you need it. I'm an adaptable person when it comes to your pet's care and needs. In your home the rules you set in place are what will be followed. In my home due to not having a fenced yard I always make sure your pet is on leash and watched at all times. I do have a dog in my home so temperament of the dog I am watching will need to be positive and friendly towards other dogs. I also have three children so if your furbaby will be staying with us then for the safety of my babies and yours a temperament test may be needed. My daughters have grown up around dogs and we have had many returning families entrust us with their fur family member. You will most often see pictures on my profile of my daughters with the dogs we have hosted.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up! I’ve had both big and small dogs and love them all. We currently have two high maintenance French bulldogs that we treat like children. I’ll give your furry friend all of the affection and care that you would while you’re away! As a heads up, I do have a young baby and sometimes she’ll join me in taking care of your fur bestie! I am looking to love on some pups part-time! I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and some weekends. I prefer day-time drop ins, but could have some availability weeknights depending on my schedule. I am excited to accommodate whatever you need to make your dog feel happy and loved! Having two dogs myself, I know the importance of getting quality care for your fur children!

“You are the best! Thank you for always being on time and sweet with Pax!!!”

About: Say hello to your energetic and enthusiastic dog/cat lover! No pet is too young, too old, too hyper, or too skittish for me. I’ve been around animals even before I was allowed to have my own; feeding strays and spending time with them. I have 2 cats of my own (Gundham and Cheesepuff) and I’m best buddies with a corgi named Owen and an old man German Pointer named Sammy. I’ve taken care of a range of species from livestock (chickens), fish to exotic indoor pets, such as snakes Guinea pigs, and lizards! I became a certified dog groomer in 2025 from attending the dmacc continuing education program and work fulltime at a grooming salon in west Des Moines. In that class I got a feel for a mixture of personalities and I came to the conclusion that every dog deserves just as much love as the next! I hope to be the next well known dog groomer on the block and my journey to that goal starts here! I’m excited to meet you all! Pets are my priority. I’m usually up around 7-8 am so my cats get fed first thing in the morning. Since I don’t have a filtered water bowl I change out their water twice a day; extra if they get food floaters I their food. While I’m gone they are occupied with toys and YouTube nature videos to keep them company. On the weekends I usually have more time to spend with them and once a month they get full baths! As for my personal schedule I usually have group visits on MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY and I’m usually available after 12pm for walks and checks in’s. Any overnight stays will be from Friday- Monday. I do start my grooming job on the 21st of this month so my availability may change but will be done so in a timely manner. If you have anymore questions please don’t hesitate to ask! I have 2 cats at home, which while they are independent I always have an eye out for their water and food and I spend plenty of quality time and play with them. Before I leave anywhere I make sure they have all that they need, anything they can get into is sealed/ closed off, and even leave soothing music on. Mainly classical!

“Madison did a wonderful job with my boys as the first walker we used on Rover. We have a very high energy 5 month old puppy and he got a little excited when he saw her. She went out of her way to clean up the accident he had. Will book with her again soon.”

About: I've been a pet owner all my life grew up with many different dogs. I was a pet owner of a yorkie for 13 years and Recently had to put him down. Experience in walking, feeding, bathing and just loving on these fur baby's! I'm a business owner that works from home, my schedule is pretty flexible. I have plenty of time to take care of your loved ones. They are welcome to the furniture just as we are we have always let our pets be free indoors to enjoy the space with us.

“Kristen did a great job with our dog, Cedar, and my parents dog, Spidey, while they are in Italy! Took multiple pictures, responded quickly, and is our new go-to walker!”
