House Sitting in Ingersoll Park, Des Moines, IA

“I appreciated Nadine sending me updates and pics of my dogs. One of my dogs is very skittish and scared, I know that couldn’t have been easy. But I know he was still well taken care of! I would book her again!”

Dawn B.

“Allison was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two big dogs over the weekend while we were getting married. We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!”

Emily M.

“He was an amazing sitter. Was very attentive to what my dogs needed and took great care of them. Will definitely continue to book future visits with him!”

“Krystal took great care of Oliver! He developed an ear infection the night before we left and she was happy to help with his medications and keeping us updated. Will definitely use her again!”

“Jessica is amazing! She communicates with us regularly while on the job and keeps us at ease that our dog is in excellent hands. And our dog loves her!”

“Highly recommend!! Andrea has stayed are our house two times for long weekends and watched our 14 year old Pitbull who can't go to dog parks or really be around other dogs. She gave him his medication which is about 8 pills and tried different things to get him to eat. She stayed in constant contact with me and left our house spotless. We already scheduled her for another weekend in August.”

About: 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. 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 a 9mos old 11lb Havanese that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments*** I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding 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 a small (Havanese) 8mos old 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.

“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”

“Lisa did a great job keeping in touch and sending pictures. Our house was clean and the dogs were in good order when we got home. We were very happy with the experience. Thank you Lisa!”

Elizabeth G.

“We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.”

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. My mom is an animal therapist so we always had at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at all times. 2 years ago me and my girlfriend decided to get a dog and since she works remote in Minneapolis we decided she would stay with my girlfriend most of the time. I just moved here a few weeks ago and I’m looking to replace some of the love I’m missing from my dog by taking care of someone else’s animals! I work 9-5 but I’m able to go back home during a lunch break for a potty and quick walk. Other than that I’m a very active person and would be willing to walk a dog miles and miles if that’s what it likes! I have an Australian cattle dog so she needs minimum 4 miles of walks a day! I live in an apartment, so don’t have the luxury of a fenced in yard but like I said I have no problem getting the exercise needs of an animal in!

“Madi was fantastic! I will definitely be trusting them to watch our animals and our house again in the future. They went above and beyond in taking care of our animals and home. Thank you Madi!!”

Allison P.

“Katlin is a saint and great with my dogs! We usually use her for house and dog sitter, she's responsible and respectful of our home. Gladly schedule her again.”

Andrew W.

“I was very pleased with the loving care Jovan gave my dog. She gave me updates, and my dog was very happy when I returned home. Jovan also took excellent care of my home. I appreciate all she did.”

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs since I could walk, including several Boston terriers, a sweet black lab, and a very lazy Bassett hound. I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. I now live with my two cats, Olive and Saltine. They are my literal children and I love them to death. I’m working full-time, but I’m available weekday mornings and evenings as well as full-time on weekends. Let me know what you need and I can try to make it happen! I strive to treat your pets home as if they’re my own. Every pet has their own unique needs. I’m attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to the letter.

“Charisse was the best! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures! Came around the same times each day to keep your dog on a normal schedule!”

Rebecca N.

“Raelyn took excellent care of our Lab while we were out of town. She provided lots of updates with pictures and very communicative with us. We have already rebooked her!”

Jennifer W.

“Sophia was great! She stayed with Tiffany while we Al were out of town for the holidays and when we got home Tiffany was so happy and calm. I’m always nervous leaving our senior girl with anyone, but Sophia sent us updates and pictures and made sure everything went smoothly.”
