“Dominique is really good with my very shy and scared puppy, she is able to get her out and care for her. I am really appreciative of her time and attention spent with my puppy.”


About: I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️ As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours! My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.

About: Hi there! I’m a full-time professional based in Des Moines with a big heart for animals—especially dogs. I share my life with a lovable poodle who’s full of energy and joy. We spend a lot of time going on walks and playing fetch, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs active, happy, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just good company, I’ll make sure your dog is well cared for and treated like family. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to give pets the attention they deserve. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend! I currently work full time in Des Moines at a retirement home. I am usually pretty flexible with my schedule and can fit anything in. I have one dog who enjoys going on walks as well as runs with me every day. He loves playing fetch and loves chasing after birds.

About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring positivity and skill to every pet I look after. My goal is to create a calm, joyful experience for your pets, tailored to their unique personalities and needs I have a flexible schedule and am available during weekdays as weekends. Also able to pick up and drop off your fur babies if needed. I have a spacious, secure yard perfect for playtime and exercise. My two dogs love to make new friends and will provide companionship and social interaction for your pets. A safe environment is always most important, and I can provide crating when needed to ensure your pets feel secure.

About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!

About: Hi, I’m Baylee! I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my whole life. I fostered animals for over 4 years, including pets with special needs and medication routines, so I’m no stranger to giving extra love and care when it’s needed most. I currently share my home (and bed) with a dog and cat.

Let me know how I can help, your pets are in good hands with me! After working in the corporate world for several years, I’m taking a break and focusing on things I genuinely enjoy. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine right now, and it’s something I find both fulfilling and fun.
