“Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!”

“Nejra did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She was willing to come to our home to meet our cats so we could show her how we feed our diabetic one. Her drop in visits were 12 hours apart as we requested, including administering insulin each visit. She provided detail and photos twice a day and even a video of her petting. I highly recommend Nejra and we will be hiring her again!”

“Ashley is great with our boys! They immediately warmed up to her at the initial visit. Ashley is a great communicator which really set us at ease while bringing away.”


“Cory has helped me out a couple times before and I'll continue to use him in the future. He is professional, timely, and communicates very well. Thank you!”

“Sara is an amazing dog sitter and was a complete joy to work with. She was flexible in scheduling and prompt to all appointments. Our dog loved her. Sara is very trustworthy and would recommended to anyone who is scheduling for the first time.”

“Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!”

“Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!”

“Jessica is amazing. I had flight troubles and had to add trips. she covered for me without any problems and played with my pup even in sub freezing temps. If I have to go on a trip without my pup again I will be calling Jessica right up”

“Nadine came to let my two boys out on Thanksgiving day, I appreciated the fact that she was happy to do it and also said she would come a little earlier as she didn't want them to be too long with out being able to go outside. She was very reliable and made good with my one dog Lewie who is not friendly to strangers. Thank you Nadine and I do hope we can use your services again! Lewie & Tito say thank you for the treats and taking them out for their potty break! Take care, Gail”

“Austin was fantastic to work with a did a great job watching our kitties. He was able to get our shy kitty to come out with just 3 visits and some of our family hasn't even been able to see him yet. He sent great pictures and went above and beyond for us. Would highly recommend using Austin to watch your pets when out of town!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and it’s something that’s always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the go-to neighbor whenever someone needed a reliable and loving pet sitter—whether it was feeding the cats next door or taking the energetic golden retriever down the block on daily walks. Over the years, I’ve looked after pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I truly treat each one like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry loved one, and I pride myself on being that trustworthy, compassionate presence when you can’t be there. I am currently working 8-4 Tuesday to Thursday so I am available after 4:00pm on those days. Other than that I am available all throughout the day from Friday to Monday!! Your animals safety and comfort always come first. I use secure gear, choose calm walking routes, and stay alert to avoid any potential hazards. Whether your pup prefers a relaxed stroll or an energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their needs—always with plenty of care, attention, and love.
“Sarah we great and the girls loved her! My dog Gizzy has special needs (deaf and blind). She requires eye drops multiple times a day. Sarah did a wonderful job ensuring Gizzy received all the medications she needed. She did a great job with my other dog Meeko also. Meeko is a rescue and had some unpleasant experiences in her past. Sarah was great with her, knew just how to help Meeko learn to trust her and they became friends quickly. I would recommend Sarah for all you pets care and needs. Jenny D.”


“Kelly was great with our dog! She was vert responsive, timely, and did a great job communicating with us during her drop-in visits. She also went above and beyond while taking our dog on a walk during one of her visits. I highly recommend Kelly!”

“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”

“Ezequiel did drop in visits for my two dogs while I was away for a few days. He has great communication. He was very punctual. He was willing to accommodate my dog who is quite skittish, using my special leash and gate set ups to ensure she did not escape. My Corgi enjoyed him right away. Ezequiel did a great job feeding my dogs who have sensitives, allergies, and not the easiest feeding routine. He offered to wipe the dogs off when they came inside as it was raining nearly the entire time. Would recommend!”

About: **Currently visiting my hometown in Des Moines for the summer! Contact me for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting!** Hi, I’m Maddie! I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My apartment is dog-friendly with a fenced dog park just steps from my door, perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have no pets or children, so your dog will have a calm, cozy space all to themselves. My partner, Austin, also works from home and helps me care for the dogs. We’re a team, and your pup will get double the love! Dogs have always been family to me. I’ve grown up with them and have cared for all kinds from playful pups to senior dogs needing daily medication. Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, or cuddles after a busy day, we treat every dog like our own and do everything we can to make them feel happy, safe, and right at home. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, your pup will get plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m available for regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and walks whenever your dog needs them. I’m here to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and companionship. However, because I work from home, I cannot accept dogs that bark or howl indoors for long periods of time. I treat every dog like family, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. My partner and I live in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with plenty of room to play, plus a fenced dog park just steps away for potty breaks and outdoor fun. We also love taking dogs on walks at Papago Park. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and will follow your instructions. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, keeping off certain furniture, or special care needs, I’m here to make sure your pup feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

Emily was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear my pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I could tell she genuinely loves animals and treated them like her own. I came home to happy dogs and a stress-free experience. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Angela was so sweet with my dog! She came for a meet and greet and I and my dog were immediately comfortable with her. She gave my boy so much love and provided check ins with photos every time. He was so happy and well taken care of while I was away. I’m happy to have found Angela and to know that my pup was in such good hands!
