House Sitting in Magnolia Park, Des Moines, IA

“I felt very comfortable during my 6 days vacation, I was getting updated regularly. Definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”

Aleksandra M.

“Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!”

Jaime S.

“Allison was absolutely amazing! Our dog loved her. She kept us updated while we were away with pictures and we could tell our pets were well cared for. She even went above and beyond to clean the puppy nose prints off our windows before we came home! Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Nichole F.

“We really liked Keli, but more importantly, our dogs really liked Kelli! She was sweet and attentive and made them feel at ease. It was almost like we weren’t even gone.”

Mindy H.

“We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!”

“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!”

Suzanne L.

“Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.”

Katelin T.

“Yasmin was amazing with my dog Susie! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of. Great communication and so kind! I’ll definitely use her again 😊”

Lexi R.

“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”

Lauren L.

“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!”

Sevanah T.

“Andrea is fantastic! She left our house extremely clean, sent lots of updates, & overall we felt so secure in leaving our dog with her for a long weekend :)”

Jess P.

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

Kyly N.

“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”

Jamalyn S.

“Zaira was wonderful with my pups! She stopped by earlier in the day to meet the pups and get the lay of the land and I really appreciated that. She was very professional and courteous and cared for my pups in a very loving way. Making them relaxed and comfortable. Zaira has great communication skills and kept my piece of mind with pictures and kept me informed while I was away. I would re-book with her without hesitation.”

Christopher S.

Laurie N.

“Sandy was amazing! She was on time, was a great communicator sending updates and photos and took great care of our two small dogs. The dogs and house were well cared for.”

About: I have been around dogs since I was a little kid! My family has always had a big dog little dog combo, and our family pets have had a wide range of personalities. I am comfortable working with all dogs, from excited Chihuahuas to nervous foster dogs to senior Golden Retrievers. I have also cared for a variety of lovely American breeds, such as Boxers, Pitties, and Bulldogs. I look forward to working with you and meeting your best friend! I'm currently working part-time doing sewing alterations from home! My schedule is incredibly flexible, with only a handful of appointments scattered throughout the day. Checking in on your pet will be my number one priority. If there is more specialized attention needed throughout the day, I can also shift my part-time hours to another day. I do not offer boarding services in my home at this time, but when I am taking care of your best friend at your home, safety is my number one priority. If we have a walk planned, I make sure that the weather is in the safe temperature range before we leave, and I always carry an emergency water bottle/bowl with me. We will also always stay within a 15-minute walk to your home/my vehicle in case of emergency! While letting pets out into a fenced-in yard, they will be supervised the entire time and let back in the home as soon as they indicate they would like back inside. When it comes to pet sitting for longer stays, the needs of you and your pet change, so the services I offer shift accordingly. While pet sitting, every time I come to your home, I will do a safety walk of the home to make sure no accidents have occurred, and nothing that isn't meant to be played with has made it to the floor. I have a lot of experience with sock monsters, so I understand the need to keep a home tidy when caring for a dog. I will do a walk of the yard every day to make sure nothing that could harm your pet is present and that no new holes or damage to the fencing has occurred. When I am leaving your home for the night, or periods through the day, I triple check that all of the doors and windows are locked so you won't have to worry about any harm coming to your best friend or your home. If you have plants that need to be cared for throughout your home, I am also more than happy to provide care to them as well!

“Aaliyah was so sweet and took great care of our dog! She regularly sent updates and photos, and left our home cleaner than it was when she got there. I cannot recommend her enough!!”

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!

“Brooks was great. He did drop by visits and it worked perfect for our babes. He took them for walks and played outside with them. Our collie gets really anxious and doesn't eat his food when theres a change but after he got used to Brooks and got some of his special food he was eating fine after the first day. Brooks sent pictures and video every time he visited. His visits were consistent and I never worried about my pups.”
