House Sitting in Martensdale

“Eddie was great! I’ve got a medically complex pittie and Eddie handled his meds and needs professionally and compassionately! Maverick was comfortable and safe, which allowed me to relax on vacation without worrying! Would definitely book again!”

“We had such a great experience with Allison! She is absolutely amazing and took such great care of our pups while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It is clear our dogs were happy, loved, and in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾”

“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 🌟”

“Megan was fantastic! She was prompt and responsive. She provided pictures of our pups and gave them all the love! Would highly recommend Megan.”

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.

“Yasmin took amazing care of our sweet girl for 5 days. She was meticulous and adjusted to exactly how we needed Juniper cared for. She sent updates every few hours and made me feel at ease being away.”

About: I started in the veterinary field at the age of 15 as a kennel technician and cross trained in the clinic as a veterinary assistant. I then went to school for animal/veterinary science and graduated with valuable skills and education. After school I went into zookeeping where i cared for a variety of taxa including but not limited to carnivores and hoofed animals. After leaving the field and changing careers, I became a foster home for Oh My Dog Rescue based in the Des Moines IA area. As a Retail Manager my schedule is not consistent however I guarantee that I will check on your animals a minimum of twice per day unless otherwise agreed upon. I do best house/petsitting for clients who leave detailed instructions and emergency contacts. I bring structure and high quality care to the table in every home I enter.

About: My house is set up for the enjoyment of you baby! Fenced in yard Special food bowl Water Fountain Bowl I have had dogs since I was 10 years old. I have passion for them. I would love to take care of yours. As a dog owner I understand the stress of leaving your dog at a kennel. I am here to take that stress away. I will give your special family member all the love and attention that will keep him/her happy. I even make doggie treats that owners refer to as "Doggie Crack" for my special friends. For dogs or owners with allergies I even make a peanut free treat that your special family member will love. I can't wait to meet your special friend.... or if your dog is like mine... well... your child. I'm am full time Work from home until Labor Day. After Labor Day I'm Work from home Friday-Tuesday. So I have plenty of time to give your baby attention! I have a fenced in privacy fence for your baby to run around. They will get plenty of pets, belly rubs and healthy homemade treats.

“Lexie was fabulous with our two mini dachshunds. She communicated extremely well, sent pictures, and eased me of my worries! One is very old and one has separation issues and both did awesome! It felt great to be able to go away and know our pups were well taken care of. The house looked great when we arrived at home and both dogs were happy! We will definitely have her back! Thanks, Lexie!”

“Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.”

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

“Anthony and Mackenzie took great care of our three dogs. Pictures and videos daily. It was nice to know they were in Great care. We were able to enjoy our time away.”

About: I’ve been & lived with animals all my 25 years of life so very keen to wants and needs—play, sleep, walks, food. What we all want as humans as well. Just look for a furry companion to share my time off with! I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week, so have a lot of downtime! Would love to talk your special loved ones on walks around this beautiful city! I have no pets in my luxury apartment so all my time and attention will be on your pet. We do have a fenced in area for easy restroom breaks.

About: I have worked with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, I strive to provide the best experience for not only the pet but the pet parent as well! I have experience working at the Animal Rescue League alongside my own animals and friends and families animals I’m an open availability sitter I will always put the needs of someone’s animals at the forefront of anything! I have all the time and attention in the world to give your babies I love taking my boys on walks, to the park, and love giving them a variety of enrichment throughout the day! We love exploring and trying new things at a comfortable pace for the animal! I can also follow a schedule and I’m flexible with whatever the pet parent needs to give the most ful filling service

“Bella was so great with my two Doods. She loved on them and sent plenty of updates of all the adventure they were having”

About: I have had or have been taking care of dogs for the last 15 years.

I have a pretty open and flexible schedule to take care of your pet needs. While it is nice outside I live to take pets outside and lay them get their energy out with a good okay whether that be on a walk or in a backyard

“Sam was awesome. She stayed in our home and took care of our very needy 14 year old puggle for 8 days. Sam also got thrown a few curve balls by our dog during the stay and she handled them all like the pro she is! Highly recommend. Felt lucky and extremely grateful to have her take care our dog and our home. Great communication!”

Kate F.

“We rebooked Sam to watch our senior frenchie Tiffany while we went out of town for a week. Sam was amazing! They reached out with any questions and sent lots of updates and pictures. We just got home and Tiffany is chill as a cucumber, no stress at all. Sam was wonderful giving Tiffany her meds (there are so many) on schedule and without any issue. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip because Sam was here taking the best care of our Tiffany. Sam is also very friendly and chats with us in the app and in person so this whole situation is even more comfortable because we have a super cool person dog sitting, someone we would want to hang out with and who is competent, funny, and so caring. I cannot recommend Sam enough!”

Brittany M.

“Our dogs are older and seemed very comfortable with Kirsten. She was willing to give medication and care to our dog with arthritis. Having her stay with our pups again soon. We appreciate her!”

About: I have had dogs since I was in the crib. I have been pet sitting others fur family for 6+ years. I adore animals! I will treat them like the fur babies you love. I have two dogs myself and they are my babies. I work a 9-3 job Monday-Friday and don’t work weekends. I would be home otherwise and might have the occasional plan or two but would discuss before hand. I have a fenced in yard. Both neighbors on either side have dogs but mostly bark to each other. My roommate does have two cats that roam but can be put in her room. Your fur baby will be put at top priority so that they feel safe and comfortable as if they were home with you.
