Cory is matter-of-fact, flexible, and a good energy for our hyper lab mix. We were able to schedule an additional walk during our vacation which we really appreciated. We received updates each time he stopped by. Big fan!

Jessica is so kind, fun, and clearly is meant to be around animals in one way or another. My boys were THRILLED to see her every morning. She was helping me out as I’m dealing with cancer - her flexibility and understanding nature helped me trust her in my home and with my boys. Book her!

Loved using these two as our dog walkers! I did not meet them in person, but the interaction between texts and pictures were very prompt, genuine and kept us up to date with the pups. Thank you again and looking forward to using your services again!

Cats and dogs are definitely Dawn’s specialty when it comes to pet-sitting duties. Our family left the country for a week and we had no doubt that our pets would be cleaned up after, walked, fed properly, and given the same structure we practice while we were gone. She also stayed in our home which was perfectly tidy when we returned home from vacation. Her communication and organization were both very appreciated.

This was our first time using Rover and Monica made the process so easy. She sent us notes and lots of pictures at every visit. She took cues from our dog on how far she could walk at each visit depending on the weather and then spent time cuddling our Boston Terrier too (which is just as important for our dog as exercise). We were out of town and never had to worry if things were going well! Our family highly recommends Monica for your pet walking/sitting needs!!

About: I grew up on a farm my whole life with many animals, both wild animals and pets have always trusted me greatly, I have pet and barn sat all growing up, I am very outdoorsy and patient so no request or activity is too much for me, I grew up with a blue heeler so energetic dogs don’t phase me at all, I have worked at Paws and Pints for a year in the dog park and daycare and have formal safety training, I’m very strong so big dogs are no problem, I am more than happy to take your dogs anywhere they would like to go for adventures let’s get outside! My schedule is completely open. I have no problem with early mornings or late nights, I can stay how ever long you need when you need it. I have very extensive experience with caring for many different animals both pets and wild animals, I even had a feral cat that I took care of and formed a bond with. I have various safety trainings through Paws & Pints both for myself and the dogs.

Julia is an exceptional dog sitter who truly went above and beyond for my fur baby. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. She sent daily updates with adorable photos that put my mind at ease while I was away. My normally shy dog warmed up to her immediately, which speaks volumes about her natural way with animals. Julia followed all care instructions perfectly and even noticed a small issue with my dog's paw that I hadn't caught. The house was spotless when I returned, and my dog was happy and relaxed. I wouldn't hesitate to book Julia again - in fact, I've already scheduled her for my next trip!

About: Born and raised a dog lover! I’ve have 5 dogs throughout my life that I have loved so dearly. I’ve grown up taking care of my friend’s dogs in HS and college. I love to go on walks, so why not bring your pup with me! I unfortunately do not have my own dog at this time with my significant other, but I hope to get one soon! I am a teacher who is taking a small step back in education to focus on my health. I know your dogs will help me A LOT during this transition, and they will be under great care. I currently live in an apartment in Des Moines, so I am also available for drop-ins to ensure your pup is comfortable at home! I am willing to travel to different to parts of the metro to help you and your pup!

Courtney is a great communicator and clearly loves animals! My dog Roscoe had a great time on walks with her, and our cat even got some bonus love out of it. I especially liked the funny and creative pictures Courtney took.

Natalie is not only a responsible and attentive pet caregiver, but also extremely caring and compassionate with animals. I have witnessed her care for animals for half of my life - and she is highly reliable and patient with all fur babies. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own - whether it’s ensuring they’re fed in time, walked regularly, or simply getting the affection they deserve - I can confidently say that Natalie is the perfect choice!!!
